Sec. 430.57 Pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this
subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works
must: comply with 40 CFR part 403; and achieve the following
pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).
(a) (1) The following pretreatment standards apply to each indirect
discharger in the calcium-,
magnesium-, or sodium-based sulfite pulp segment that is a new source:

new source fiber line operated by an indirect discharger producing
ammonium-based sulfite pulps if the indirect discharger discloses to the
pretreatment control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR

at that fiber line:

as applicable, by monitoring for all pollutants at the point where the
wastewater containing those pollutants leaves the bleach plant.
