(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater
pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those
battery manufacturing operations listed above.
(c)(1) In cases where battery employee shower wastewater containing
concentrations of lead exceeding 0.20 mg/l is combined with process
wastewaters prior to treatment, the Control Authority may, for purposes
of applying the Combined Wastestream Formula under Sec. 403.6(e) of this
chapter, notwithstanding the provisions of Sec. 403.6(e), exercise its
discretion and classify battery employee shower wastewater as an
unregulated rather than a dilute (FD) wastestream.
(2) Before the Control Authority may exercise its discretion to
classify such a stream as an unregulated stream, the battery
manufacturer must provide engineering, production, and sampling and
analysis information sufficient to allow a determination by the Control
Authority on how the stream should be classified.
