                 Subpart A_Metals Treatment and Recovery

 

Sec. 437.10  Applicability.





    (a) Except as provided in Sec. 437.1(b), (c), or (d) or in 

paragraph (b) of this section, this subpart applies to that portion of 

the discharge of wastewater from a CWT facility that results from the 

treatment of, or recovery of metals from, both metal-bearing wastes 

received from off-site and other CWT wastewater associated with the 

treatment of, or recovery of metal-bearing wastes.

    (b) In order to ensure appropriate treatment rather than dilution of 

dissimilar wastes, an NPDES permit writer or control authority may 

require a new source or an existing facility subject to this subpart to 

achieve alternative effluent limitations and standards as defined in 

Sec. 437.2(b) in the following circumstances:

    (1) The facility receives, on a continuing basis, flows of process 

wastewater from five or fewer facilities subject to 40 CFR Subchapter N 

limitations and standards; and

    (2) The process wastewater flows received for treatment at the 

facility have relatively consistent pollutant profiles.
