Sec. 437.47  Pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).



    (a) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 or 437.40(b), any new source 

subject to this subpart which combines treated or untreated wastes from 

subparts A, B, or C of this part may be subject to Multiple Wastestream 

Subcategory pretreatment standards representing the application of PSNS 

set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this section if the 

discharger agrees to the following conditions in its permit:

    (1) The discharger will meet the applicable Multiple Wastestream 

Subcategory standards set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), (d) or (e) of 

this section;

    (2) The discharger will notify its local control authority at the 

time of submitting its application for an individual control mechanism 

or pretreatment agreement of its desire to be subject to Multiple Waste 

Subcategory by submitting to the local control authority an initial 

certification statement as described in Sec. 437.41(a);

    (3) The discharger will submit to its local control authority a 

periodic certification statements as described in Sec. 437.41(b) once a 

year; and

    (4) The discharger will maintain at the office of the facility and 

make available for inspection the on-site compliance paperwork as 

described in Sec. 437.41(c).

    (b) Combined waste receipts from subparts A, B and C of this part. 

(1) As provided in Sec. 437.47(a), any new source subject to this
