a These limitations do not apply with respect to fiber lines operated by any indirect discharger that discloses to the pretreatment control authority, at the time it submits the report required under 40 CFR 403.12(b), (d), or (e) , that it uses a TCF bleaching process at that fiber line. | ||
b “<ML” means less than the minimum level specified in § 430.01(i) for the particular pollutant. | ||
c This regulation does not specify this type of limitation for this pollutant; however, pretreatment control authorities may do so as appropriate. |
(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:
Pollutant or pollutant parameter | PSES (TCF) | |
---|---|---|
Maximum for any 1 day | Monthlyaverage | |

(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:
Pollutant or pollutant property | Supplemental PSES | Maximum for any 1 day | kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product | Milligrams/liter |
