    (a) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13 or in paragraph 
(b) of this section, no later than August 14, 2003 any existing source 
subject to this subpart which introduces pollutants into a publicly 
owned treatment works must achieve PSES as follows:

    (b) As an alternative to achieving PSES as defined in paragraph (a) 
of this section, any existing source subject to paragraph (a) of this 
section may have a pollution prevention allowable discharge of 
wastewater pollutants, as defined in Sec. 442.2, if the source agrees 
to a control mechanism with the control authority as follows:
    (1) The discharger shall prepare a Pollutant Management Plan that 
satisfies the requirements as specified in paragraph (b)(5) of this 
section, and the discharger shall conduct its operations in accordance 
with that plan.
    (2) The discharger shall notify its local control authority prior to 
renewing or modifying its individual control mechanism or pretreatment 
agreement of its intent to achieve the pollution prevention allowable 
discharge pretreatment standard by submitting to the local control 
authority a certification statement of its intent to utilize a Pollutant 
Management Plan as specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. The 
certification statement must be signed by the responsible corporate 
officer as defined in 40 CFR 403.12(l);
    (3) The discharger shall submit a copy of its Pollutant Management 
Plan as described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section to the appropriate 
control authority at the time he/she applies to renew, or modify its 
individual control mechanism or pretreatment agreement; and
    (4) The discharger shall maintain at the offices of the facility and 
make

available for inspection the Pollutant Management Plan as described in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (5) The Pollutant Management Plan shall include:
    (i) Procedures for identifying cargos, the cleaning of which is 
likely to result in discharges of pollutants that would be incompatible 
with treatment at the POTW;
    (ii) For cargos identified as being incompatible with treatment at 
the POTW, the Plan shall provide that heels be fully drained, segregated 
from other wastewaters, and handled in an appropriate manner;
    (iii) For cargos identified as being incompatible with treatment at 
the POTW, the Plan shall provide that the tank be prerinsed or 
presteamed as appropriate and the wastewater segregated from wastewaters 
to be discharged to the POTW and handled in an appropriate manner, where 
necessary to ensure that they do not cause or contribute to a discharge 
that would be incompatible with treatment at the POTW;
    (iv) All spent cleaning solutions, including interior caustic 
washes, interior presolve washes, interior detergent washes, interior 
acid washes, and exterior acid brightener washes shall be segregated 
from other wastewaters and handled in an appropriate manner, where 
necessary to ensure that they do not cause or contribute to a discharge 
that would be incompatible with treatment at the POTW;
    (v) Provisions for appropriate recycling or reuse of cleaning 
agents;
    (vi) Provisions for minimizing the use of toxic cleaning agents 
(solvents, detergents, or other cleaning or brightening solutions);
    (vii) Provisions for appropriate recycling or reuse of segregated 
wastewaters (including heels and prerinse/pre-steam wastes);
    (viii) Provisions for off-site treatment or disposal, or effective 
pre-treatment of segregated wastewaters (including heels, prerinse/pre-
steam wastes, spent cleaning solutions);
    (ix) Information on the volumes, content, and chemical 
characteristics of cleaning agents used in cleaning or brightening 
operations; and
    (x) Provisions for maintaining appropriate records of heel 
management procedures, prerinse/pre-steam management procedures, 
cleaning agent management procedures, operator training, and proper 
operation and maintenance of any pre-treatment system;
