                     Subpart D_Multiple Wastestreams
 
Sec. 437.45  New source performance standards (NSPS).

    (a) Except as provided in Sec. 437.40(b), any new source subject to 
this subpart which combines treated or untreated wastes from subparts A, 
B, or C of this part may be subject to Multiple Wastestream Subcategory 
effluent limitations representing the application of NSPS set forth in 
paragraphs (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this section if the discharger 
agrees to the following conditions in its NPDES permit:
    (1) The discharger will meet the applicable Multiple Wastestream 
Subcategory limitations set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), (d) or (e) of 
this section;
    (2) The discharger will notify its NPDES permit writer at the time 
of submitting its application for permit, of its desire to be subject to 
the Multiple Waste Subcategory by submitting to the NPDES permit writer 
an initial certification statement as described in Sec. 437.41(a);

[[Page 375]]

    (3) The discharger will submit to its NPDES permitting authority a 
periodic certification statement as described in Sec. 437.41(b) once a 
year; and
    (4) The discharger will maintain at the office of the facility and 
make available for inspection the on-site compliance paperwork as 
described in Sec. 437.41(c).
    (b) Combined waste receipts from subparts A, B and C of this part. 
(1) As provided in Sec. 437.45(a), any new source subject to this 
paragraph must achieve the following performance standards:
