This subpart applies to discharges to waters of the United States and introduction of pollutants into publicly owned treatment works from the manufacturing of lead anode batteries.

(a) 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:

(1) Subpart C—Closed Formation—Double Fill, or Fill and Dump.

(2) Subpart C—Open Formation—Dehydrated.

(3) Subpart C—Open Formation—Wet.

(4) Subpart C—Plate Soak.

(5) Subpart C—Battery Wash (with Detergent).

(6) Subpart C—Battery Wash (Water Only).

(7) Subpart C—Direct Chill Lead Casting.

(8) Subpart C—Mold Release Formulation.

(9) Subpart C—Truck Wash.

(10) Subpart C—Laundry.

(11) Subpart C—Miscellaneous Wastewater Streams.

(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those battery manufacturing operations listed above.

(a) 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 available technology economically achievable:

(1) Subpart C—Open Formation—Dehydrated.

(2) Subpart C—Open Formation—Wet.

(3) Subpart C—Plate Soak.

(4) Subpart C—Battery Wash (Detergent).

(5) Subpart C—Direct Chill Lead Casting.

(6) Subpart C—Mold Release Formulation.

(7) Subpart C—Truck Wash.

(8) Subpart C—Laundry.

(9) Subpart C—Miscellaneous Wastewater Streams.

(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those battery manufacturing operations listed above.

(a) The discharge of wastewater pollutants from any new source subject to this subpart shall not exceed the standards set forth below:

(1) Subpart C—Open Formation—Dehydrated—NSPS.

(2) Subpart C—Open Formation—Wet—NSPS.

(3) Subpart C—Plate Soak—NSPS.

(4) Subpart C—Battery Wash (Detergent)—NSPS.

(5) Subpart C—Direct Chill Lead Casting—NSPS.

(6) Subpart C—Mold Release Formulation—NSPS.

(7) Subpart C—Truck Wash—NSPS.

(8) Subpart C—Laundry—NSPS.

(9) Subpart C—Miscellaneous Wastewater Streams—NSPS.

(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those battery manufacturing operations listed above.

(a) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing source subject to this subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and achieve the pretreatment standards for existing sources listed below:

(1) Subpart C—Open Formation—Dehydrated—PSES.

(2) Subpart C—Open Formation—Wet—PSES.

(3) Subpart C—Plate Soak—PSES.

(4) Subpart C—Battery Wash—(Detergent)—PSES.

(5) Subpart C—Direct Chill Lead Casting—PSES.

(6) Subpart C—Mold Release Formulation—PSES.

(7) Subpart C—Truck Wash—PSES.

(8) Subpart C—Laundry—PSES.

(9) Subpart C—Miscellaneous Wastewater Streams—PSES.

(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operation other than those battery manufacturing operations listed above.

(c)(1) In cases where battery employee shower wastewater containing concentrations of lead exceeding 0.20 mg/l is combined with process wastewaters prior to treatment, the Control Authority may, for purposes of applying the Combined Wastestream Formula under § 403.6(e) of this chapter, notwithstanding the provisions of § 403.6(e), exercise its discretion and classify battery employee shower wastewater as an unregulated rather than a dilute (FD) wastestream.

(2) Before the Control Authority may exercise its discretion to classify such a stream as an unregulated stream, the battery manufacturer must provide engineering, production, and sampling and analysis information sufficient to allow a determination by the Control Authority on how the stream should be classified.

(a) Except as provided in § 403.7, any new source subject to this subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and achieve the following pretreatment standards for new sources:

(1) Subpart C—Open Formation—Dehydrated—PSNS.

(2) Subpart C—Open Formation—Wet—PSNS.

(3) Subpart C—Plate Soak—PSNS.

(4) Subpart C—Battery Wash—(Detergent)—PSNS.

(5) Subpart C—Direct Chill Lead Casting—PSNS.

(6) Subpart C—Mold Release Formulation—PSNS.

(7) Subpart C—Truck Wash—PSNS.

(8) Subpart C—Laundry—PSNS.

(9) Subpart C—Miscellaneous Wastewater Streams—PSNS.

(b) There shall be no discharge allowance for process wastewater pollutants from any battery manufacturing operations other than those battery manufacturing operations listed above.
