This subpart applies to discharges to waters of the United States and introduction of pollutants into publicly owned treatment works resulting from the production of sodium bisulfite.
For the purposes of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations and methods of analysis set forth in part 401 of this chapter shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term product means sodium bisulfite.
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT):
Subpart BB—Sodium Bisulfite
| Pollutant or pollutant property
| BPT effluent limitations
|
|---|
| Maximum for any 1 day
| Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days
|
|---|
| Kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product
|
| TSS | 0.32 | 0.080
|
| COD | 3.8 | 0.95
|
| Chromium (T) | 0.0020 | 0.00063
|
| Zinc (T) | 0.0051 | 0.0015
|
| pH | (
1) | (
1)
|
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable (BAT): The limitations on COD, Chromium(T), and Zinc(T) are the same as specified in § 415.542.
Any new source subject to this subpart must achieve the following new source performance standards (NSPS): The limitations are the same as specified in § 415.542.
Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this subpart which introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and achieve the following Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS):
Subpart BB—Sodium Bisulfite
| Pollutant or pollutant property
| PSNS effluent limitations
|
|---|
| Maximum for any 1 day
| Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days
|
|---|
| Milligrams per liter
|
| Chromium (T) | 1.3 | 0.42 |
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32 any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT): The limitations are the same for TSS and pH as specified in § 414.542.
