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, TSS, and O&G are the same as the limitations specified in 
Sec. 432.42(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 the 
processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-
site, the 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 standards specified in paragraph (a)(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 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 standards 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, TSS, and O&G are the same as the limitations specified in 
Sec. 432.42(a)(1); and 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 in 
addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (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. 432.45 of title 40 of the Code of Federal
