PART 409_SUGAR PROCESSING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents

 

               Subpart A_Beet Sugar Processing Subcategory

 

Sec.  409.13  Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of 

effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available 

technology economically achievable.



    (a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of 

pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a point 

source where the sugar beet processing capacity of the point source does 

not exceed 1090 kkg (2300 tons) per day of beets sliced or where the 

soil filtration rate, whether natural or by deliberate design, within 

the boundaries of all waste water treatment or retention facilities 

associated with the point source is less than or equal to 0.159 cm (\1/

16\ in.) per day; provided however, that a discharge by a point source 

may be made in accordance with the limitations set forth in either 

paragraph (a)(1) exclusively, or paragraph (a)(2) of this section 

exclusively.

    (1) The following limitations establish the maximum permissible 

discharge of process waste water pollutants when the process waste water 

discharge results from barometric condensing operations only.

    (2) The following limitations establish the maximum permissible 

discharge of process waste water pollutants when the process waste water 

discharge results, in whole or in part, from barometric condensing 

operations and any other beet sugar processing operation.
