§ 440.113 Effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT).

Except as provided in subpart L of this part and 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT):

Effluent characteristic	Effluent limitations
	Maximum for any 1 day	Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days
	Milligrams per liter
Cu	0.30	0.15
Zn	1.5	0.75
Pb	0.6	0.3
Hg	0.002	0.001
Cd	0.10	0.05

(b) The concentration of pollutants discharged from mills that use the froth-flotation process alone, or in conjunction with other processes, for the beneficiation of platinum ores shall not exceed:

Effluent characteristic	Effluent limitations
	Maximum for any 1 day	Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days
	Milligrams per liter
Cu	0.30	0.15
Zn	1.0	0.5
Pb	0.6	0.3
