Section 279.14. Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT).

 

(1)  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 conventional pollutant control technology (BCT): - See PDF for table - See PDF for table

1 Within the range 6.0 to 9.0.

(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. - See PDF for table

(b) Process factor. - See PDF for table

(3)  The following allocations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this subsection and attributable to ballast, which may be discharged after the application of best conventional pollutant control technology by a point source subject to this subcategory, in addition to the discharge allowed by sub. (2) . The allocation allowed for ballast water flow, as kg/cu m (lb/1000 gal), shall be based on those ballast waters treated at the refinery. - See PDF for table

(4)  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) .

(5)  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 conventional pollutant control technology 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 15 mg/l oil and grease 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 15 mg/l oil and grease 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. - See PDF for table
