Sec. 463.17  Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree 



of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best 

conventional pollutant 

          control technology.



    Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing 

point source subject to this subpart must achieve the effluent 

limitations guidelines (i.e., mass of pollutant discharged) representing 

the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the 

best conventional pollutant control technology, which are calculated by 

multiplying the average process water usage flow rate for the contact 

cooling and heating water processes at a point source times the 

following pollutant concentrations:
