Sec.  424.62  Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of 

effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable 

control technology currently available.



    Except as provided in Sec. Sec.  125.30 through 125.32, any existing 

point source subject to this subpart shall achieve the following 

effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction 

attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology 

currently available (BPT):

    (a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of 

pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section which may 

be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this 

subpart producing electrolytic manganese after application of the best 

practicable control technology currently available:
