(a) Except as provided in § 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 § 437.41(a); (3) The discharger will submit to its NPDES permitting authority a periodic certification statement as described in § 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 § 437.41(c). (b) Combined waste receipts from subparts A, B and C of this part. (1) As provided in § 437.45(a), any new source subject to this paragraph must achieve the following performance standards: Performance Standards Regulated parameter Maximum daily 1 Maximum monthly avg. 1 Conventional Parameters BOD 5 163 53.0 O&G 127 38.0 pH ( 2 ) ( 2 ) TSS 29.6 11.3 Metal Parameters Antimony 0.111 0.0312 Arsenic 0.0993 0.0199 Cadmium 0.0172 0.0102 Chromium 0.167 0.0522 Cobalt 0.182 0.0703 Copper 0.659 0.216 Lead 0.350 0.160 Mercury 0.000641 0.000246 Nickel 0.794 0.309 Selenium 0.176 0.0698 Silver 0.0318 0.0122 Tin 0.0955 0.0367 Titanium 0.0159 0.00612 Vanadium 0.0628 0.0518 Zinc 0.657 0.252 Organic Parameters Acetone 30.2 7.97 Acetophenone 0.114 0.0562 Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 0.215 0.101 2-Butanone 4.81 1.85 Butylbenzyl phthalate 0.188 0.0887 Carbazole 0.598 0.276 o -Cresol 1.92 0.561 p -Cresol 0.698 0.205 n-Decane 0.948 0.437 Fluoranthene 0.0537 0.0268 n-Octadecane 0.589 0.302 Phenol 3.65 1.08 Pyridine 0.370 0.182 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol 0.155 0.106 1 mg/L (ppm). 2 Within the range 6 to 9.
