Sec.  423.17  Pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).



    Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this 

subpart part which introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment 

works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and the following pretreatment 

standards for new sources (PSNS).

    (a) There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl 

compounds such as those used for transformer fluid.

    (b) The pollutants discharged in chemical metal cleaning wastes 

shall not exceed the concentration listed in the following table:

exceed the concentration listed in the following table:

                                                   Maximum for any time

The 126 priority pollutants (Appendix A)

 contained in chemicals added for cooling tower

 maintenance, except:

  Chromium, total..............................            0.2

  Zinc, total..................................            1.0

------------------------------------------------------------------------



    (2) At the permitting authority's discretion, instead of the 

monitoring in 40 CFR 122.11(b), compliance with the limitations for the 

126 priority pollutants in paragraph (d)(1) of this section may be 

determined by engineering calculations which demonstrate that the 

regulated pollutants are not detectable in the final discharge by the 

analytical methods in 40 CFR part 136.

    (e) There shall be no discharge of wastewater pollutants from fly 

ash transport water.
