Subpart A_Simple Slaughterhouses
Sec. 432.15 New source performance standards (NSPS).
Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, any source that
is a new source subject to this subpart must achieve the following
performance standards:
(a) Facilities that slaughter no more than 50 million pounds per
year (in units of LWK) must achieve the following performance standards:
(1) In the case of process wastewater associated with the
slaughtering of animals on-site or the processing of the carcasses of
animals slaughtered on-site, the standards for BOD5, fecal
coliform, O&G, and TSS are the same as the corresponding limitations
specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(1); and standards for ammonia (as N) are as
follows:

(2) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (a)(1) of
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with
processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec.

this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with wet or
low-temperature rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered
at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for

(4) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (a)(1) of
this section, in the case of case of process wastewater associated with
dry rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations
off-site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS
specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(5) and the following standards for ammonia
(as N) apply:

(in units of LWK) must achieve the following performance standards.
(1) In the case of process wastewater associated with the
slaughtering of animals on-site or the processing of the carcasses of
animals slaughtered on-site, the standards for BOD5, fecal
coliform, O&G, and TSS are the same as the limitations specified in
Sec. 432.12(a)(1) and the standards for ammonia (as N) and total
nitrogen are as follows:

(2) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with
processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec.
432.12(a)(3) apply.
(3) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with wet or
low-temperature rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered
at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for
BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(4) apply.
(4) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with dry
rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS
specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(5) apply.
(c) Any source that was a new source subject to the standards
specified in Sec. 432.15 of title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, revised as of July 1, 2003, must continue to achieve the
standards specified in this section until the expiration of the
applicable time period specified in 40 CFR 122.29(d)(1) after which it
