    (c) The following allocations constitute the quantity and quality of 

pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph and 

attributable to ballast, which may be discharged after the application 

of best practicable control technology currently available, by a point 

source subject to this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by 

paragraph (b) of this section. The allocation allowed for ballast water 

flow, as kg/cu m (lb/Mgal), shall be based on those ballast waters 

treated at the refinery.
