Sec. 471.71  Effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology 
          currently available (BPT).

    Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing 
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent 
limitations for the process operations representing the degree of 
effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best praticable
