Sec. 430.26  Pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).

    Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing source 
subject to this subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned 
treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and must achieve the 
following pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
    (a)(1) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to 
each fiber line operated by an indirect discharger subject to this 
section, unless the indirect discharger discloses to the pretreatment 
control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR 403.12(b) that it 
uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at that fiber line. These 
pretreatment standards must be attained on or before April 16, 2001:

    (b) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect 
dischargers, in accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme. 
An indirect discharger is not required to meet these pretreatment 
standards if it certifies to the pretreatment control authority that it 
is not using these compounds as biocides. In cases when POTWs find it 
necessary to impose mass effluent limitations, equivalent mass 
limitations are provided as guidance:
