Subpart I_Direct Discharge Point Sources That Use End-of-Pipe Biological 

                                Treatment

 

Sec.  414.91  Toxic pollutant effluent limitations and standards for 

direct discharge point sources that 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 concentrations 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 flow from 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.
