  Subpart J_Direct Discharge Point Sources That Do Not Use End-of-Pipe 

                          Biological Treatment

 

Sec.  414.101  Toxic pollutant effluent limitations and standards for 

direct discharge point sources that do not use end-of-pipe biological 

treatment.



    (a)Any point source subject to this subpart must achieve discharges 

not exceeding the quantity (mass) determined by multiplying the process 

wastewater flow subject to this subpart times the concentartions in the 

following table.

    (b) In the case of chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and total 

cyanide, the discharge quantity (mass) shall be determined by 

multiplying the concentrations listed in the following table for these 

pollutants times the flow from metal bearing waste streams for the 

metals and times the cyanide-bearing waste streams for total cyanide. 

The metal-bearing waste streams and cyanide-bearing waste streams are 

defined as those waste streams listed in Appendix A of this part, plus 

any additional OCPSF process wastewater streams identified by the 

permitting authority on a case-by-case basis as metal or cyanide bearing 

based upon a determination that such streams contain significant amounts 

of the pollutants identified above. Any such streams designated as metal 

or cyanide bearing must be treated independently of other metal or 

cyanide bearing waste streams unless the permitting authority determines 

that the combination of such streams, prior to treatment, with the 

Appendix A waste streams will result in substantial reduction of these 

pollutants. This determination must be based upon a review of relevant 

engineering, production, and sampling and analysis information.
