is a new source subject to this subpart must achieve the following 
performance standards:

[[Page 255]]

    (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 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. 
432.22(a)(1), and the standards for ammonia (as N) are as follows:

    (2) In addition to the standard specified in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with the 
processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site, the supplemental limitations for BOD5 and TSS specified 
in Sec. 432.12(a)(3) and the standards for ammonia (as N) specified in 
Sec. 432.15(a)(2) apply.
    (3) In addition to the standard specified in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section, in the case of associated with the wet or low-temperature 
rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site and dead animals, the supplemental limitations for BOD5 
and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(4) and the standards for ammonia 
(as N) specified in Sec. 432.15(a)(3) apply.
    (4) In addition to the standard specified in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with the dry 
rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site and dead animals, the limitations for BOD5 and TSS 
specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(5) and the standards for ammonia (as N) 
specified in Sec. 432.15(a)(4) apply.
    (b) Facilities that slaughter 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. 432.22(a)(1) and the standards for ammonia (as N) and 
total nitrogen are the same as the limitations specified in Sec. 
432.15(b)(1).
    (2) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of 
this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with the 
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 the 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 the 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. 432.25 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
