§ 430.56 Pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing source subject to this subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and must achieve the following pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
(a) The following pretreatment standards must be attained on or before April 16, 2001.
(1) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect dischargers in the calcium-, magnesium-, or sodium-based sulfite pulp segment:
Subpart E
[Production of Calcium-, Magnesium-, or Sodium-based Sulfite Pulps]
Pollutant or pollutant property PSES Maximum for any 1 day Monthly
averagekg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product AOX <MLa (b) (2)
(i) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect dischargers in the ammonium-based sulfite pulp segment:
Subpart E - Production of Ammonium-Based Sulfite Pulps
Pollutant or pollutant property PSES Maximum for any 1 day Monthly average TCDDa <MLb (c) TCDFa <MLb (c) Trichlorosyringola <MLb (c) 3,4,5-trichlorocatechola <MLb (c) 3,4,6-trichlorocatechola <MLb (c) 3,4,5-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 3,4,6-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 2,4,5-trichlorophenola <MLb (c) 2,4,6-trichlorophenola <MLb (c) Tetrachlorocatechola <MLb (c) Tetrachloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenola <MLb (c) Pentachlorophenola <MLb (c) (ii) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to each new source fiber line operated by an indirect discharger producing ammonium-based sulfite pulps if the indirect discharger discloses to the pretreatment control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR 403.12(b) that it uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at that fiber line:
Subpart E - Production of Ammonium-Based Sulfite Pulps
Pollutant or pollutant parameter PSES (TCF) Maximum for any 1 day Monthly
averageAOX <MLa (b) (3)
(i) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect dischargers in the specialty grade sulfite pulp segment:
Subpart E - Production of Specialty Grade Sulfite Pulps
Pollutant or pollutant property PSES Maximum for any 1 day Monthly average TCDDa <MLb (c) TCDFa <MLb (c) Trichlorosyringola <MLb (c) 3,4,5-trichlorocatechola <MLb (c) 3,4,6-trichlorocatechola <MLb (c) 3,4,5-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 3,4,6-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 2,4,5-trichlorophenola <MLb (c) 2,4,6-Trichlorophenola <MLb (c) Tetrachlorocatechola <MLb (c) Tetrachloroguaiacola <MLb (c) 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenola <MLb (c) Pentachlorophenola <MLb (c) (ii) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to each fiber line operated by an indirect discharger producing specialty grade sulfite pulps if the indirect discharger discloses to the pretreatment control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR 403.12(b), (d), or (e) that it uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at that fiber line. These pretreatment standards must be attained on or before April 16, 2001:
Subpart E
Pollutant or pollutant parameter PSES (TCF) Maximum for any 1 day Monthly
averageAOX <MLa (b) (b) The following pretreatment standards apply to each indirect discharger, in accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme, unless it certifies to the pretreatment control authority that it is not using these compounds as biocides. In cases when POTWs find it necessary to impose mass effluent limitations, equivalent mass limitations are provided as guidance:
Subpart E
Pollutant or pollutant property Supplemental PSES Maximum for any 1 day kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product Milligrams/liter Pentachlorophenol 0.00058exp(0.017x) ((0.011)(12.67)exp(0.017x))/y Trichlorophenol 0.0043exp(0.017x) ((0.082)(12.67)exp(0.017x))/y x = percent sulfite pulp in final product. y = wastewater discharged in kgal per ton of product. (c) An indirect discharger must demonstrate compliance with the pretreatment standards in paragraphs (a)(2) or (a)(3) of this section, as applicable, by monitoring for all pollutants at the point where the wastewater containing those pollutants leaves the bleach plant.
