[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 40, Volume 27] [Revised as ofJuly 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 40CFR432.42] [Page 260-262] TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED) PART 432--MEAT PRODUCTS POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents Subpart D--High-Processing Packinghouse Subcategory Sec. 432.42 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available. Except as provided in Secs. 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart shall achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT): (a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and attributable to on-site slaughter or subsequent meat, meat product or byproduct processing of carcasses of animals slaughtered on-site, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart after application of the best practicable control technology currently available: [[Page 261]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ----------------------------- Average of daily Effluent characteristic Maximum values for 30 for any 1 consecutive days day shall not exceed- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg LWK) ------------- BOD5+..................................... 0.48 0.24 TSS+...................................... 0.62 0.31 Oil and grease............................ 0.26 0.13 Fecal coliform............................

Adjustments can be made for high-processing packing-houses at other ratios according to the following equations: kg BOD5/1000 kg LWK = 0.21+0.23 (v--0.4) kg SS/1000 kg LWK = 0.28+0.30 (v--0.4) where v - kg processed meat products / kg LWK. (b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and attributable to the processing (defleshing, washing and curing) of hides derived from animals slaughtered at locations other than the packinghouse, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by paragraph (a) of this section: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ----------------------------- Average of daily Effluent characteristic Maximum values for 30 for any 1 consecutive days day shall not exceed- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.04 0.02 TSS....................................... 0.08 0.04 ------------- English units (pounds per 1,000 lb ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.04 0.02 TSS....................................... 0.08 0.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (c) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and attributable to the processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations other than the packinghouse, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by paragraph (a) of this section: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ----------------------------- Average of daily Effluent characteristic Maximum values for 30 for any 1 consecutive days day shall not exceed- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.04 0.02 TSS....................................... 0.08 0.04 ------------- English units (pounds per 1,000 lb ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.04 0.02 TSS....................................... 0.08 0.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (d) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and attributable to the wet or low temperature rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations other than the packinghouse, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by paragraph (a) of this section: [[Page 262]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ----------------------------- Average of daily Effluent characteristic Maximum values for 30 for any 1 consecutive days day shall not exceed- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.06 0.03 TSS....................................... 0.12 0.06 ------------- English units (pounds per 1,000 lb ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.06 0.03 TSS....................................... 0.12 0.06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (e) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and attributable to the dry rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations other than the packinghouse, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by paragraph (a) of this section: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ----------------------------- Average of daily Effluent characteristic Maximum values for 30 for any 1 consecutive days day shall not exceed- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.02 0.01 TSS....................................... 0.04 0.02 ------------- English units (pounds per 1,000 lb ELWK) ------------- BOD5...................................... 0.02 0.01 TSS....................................... 0.04 0.02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [39 FR 7897, Feb. 28, 1974, as amended at 60 FR 33965, June 29, 1995]
