Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT).
(1) Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 - 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subcategory shall achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT):
(2) The limits set forth in sub. (1) shall be multiplied by the following factors to calculate the maximum for any one day and maximum average of daily values for 30 consecutive days.
(a) Size factor.
(b) Process factor.
(3)
(a) In addition to the provisions contained above pertaining to COD, ammonia and sulfide any existing point source subject to this subcategory shall achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT). For each of the regulated pollutant parameters listed below, the effluent limitation for a given refinery is the sum of the products of each effluent limitation factor times the applicable process feedstock rate, calculated as provided in 40 CFR 122.45 (b) .
(4) The provisions of s. NR 279.13 (4) apply to discharges of process wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a point source subject to the provisions of this subcategory.
(5) The quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this subsection, attributable to once-through cooling water, are excluded from the discharge allowed by sub. (2) . Once-through cooling water may be discharged with a total organic carbon concentration not to exceed 5 mg/l.
(6) The following effluent limitations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this subsection and attributable to contaminated runoff, which may be discharged after the application of the best available technology economically achievable by a point source subject to this subcategory.
(a) If wastewater consists solely of contaminated runoff and is not commingled or treated with process wastewater, it may be discharged if it does not exceed 110 mg/l total organic carbon (TOC) based upon an analysis of any single grab or composite sample.
(b) If contaminated runoff is commingled or treated with process wastewater, or if wastewater consisting solely of contaminated runoff which exceeds 110 mg/l TOC is not commingled or treated with any other type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged may not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of contaminated runoff as determined by the department times the concentrations listed in the following table:
