(3) The oil and grease content of discharges for the first 4 subcategories of table 2 shall not exceed 10 mg/l. (4) The ammonia content of all discharges except for the small processor and renderer subcategories shall not exceed 4 mg/l on a 30-day average basis nor a daily maximum of 8 mg/l. The effluent limitation for ammonia for discharges from the renderer subcategory shall be a 30 day average of 0.02 and a daily maximum of 0.04 lbs/1000 lbs. or kg/1000 kg. of raw material.
