source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent 

limitations representing the application of BPT: There shall be no 

discharge of process waste water pollutants to navigable waters.

designed, constructed and operated to contain all process generated 

waste waters plus the runoff from a 10-year, 24-hour rainfall event for 

the location of the point source.
