    (c) The provisions of Sec.  419.14(c) apply to discharges of process 

wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a point source 

subject to the provisions of this subpart.

    (d) The quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties 

controlled by this paragraph, attributable to once-through cooling 

water, are excluded from the discharge allowed by paragraph (b) of this 

section.

    (e) Effluent limitations for contaminated runoff. The following 

effluent limitations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants 

or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph and attributable to 

contaminated runoff which may be discharged after the application of the 

best conventional pollutant control technology by a point source subject 

to this subpart.

    (1) If wastewater consists solely of contaminated runoff and is not 

commingled or treated with process wastewater, it may be discharged if 

it does not exceed 15 mg/l oil and grease based upon an analysis of any 

single grab or composite sample.

    (2) If contaminated runoff is commingled or treated with process 

wastewater, or if wastewater consisting solely of contaminated runoff 

which exceeds 15 mg/l oil and grease is not commingled or treated with 

any other type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged 

shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of 

contaminated runoff as determined by the permit writer times the 

concentrations listed in the following table:
