419.22 - Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT).

  (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: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPT effluent limitations ------------------------ Average of daily Pollutant or pollutant property Maximum values for for any 1 30 day consecutive days shall not exceed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 m\3\ of feedstock) ------------------------ BOD5........................................... 28.2 15.6 TSS............................................ 19.5 12.6 COD\1\......................................... 210.0 109 Oil and grease................................. 8.4 4.5 Phenolic compounds............................. 0.21 0.10 Ammonia as N................................... 18.8 8.5 Sulfide........................................ 0.18 0.082 Total chromium................................. 0.43 0.25 Hexavalent chromium............................ 0.035 0.016 pH............................................. (\2\) (\2\) ------------------------ English units (pounds per 1,000 bbl feedstock) ------------------------ BOD5........................................... 9.9 5.5 TSS............................................ 6.9 4.4 COD\1\......................................... 74.0 38.4 Oil and grease................................. 3.0 1.6 Phenolic compounds............................. 0.074 0.036 Ammonia as N................................... 6.6 3.0 Sulfide........................................ 0.065 0.029 Total chromium................................. 0.15 0.088 Hexavalent chromium............................ 0.012 0.0056 pH............................................. (\2\) (\2\) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \1\ See footnote following table in 419.13(d).

\2\ Within the range of 6.0 to 9.0.

  (b) The limits set forth in paragraph (a) of this section are to be multiplied by the following factors to calculate the maximum for any one day and maximum average of daily values for thirty consecutive days.

  (1) Size factor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1,000 bbl of feedstock per stream day Size factor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Less than 24.9............................................ 0.91 25.0 to 49.9.............................................. 0.95 50.0 to 74.9.............................................. 1.04 75.0 to 99.9.............................................. 1.13 100.0 to 124.9............................................ 1.23 125.0 to 149.9............................................ 1.35 150.0 or greater.......................................... 1.41 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (2) Process factor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Process Process configuration factor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Less than 2.49............................................ 0.58 2.5 to 3.49............................................... 0.63 3.5 to 4.49............................................... 0.74 4.5 to 5.49............................................... 0.88 5.5 to 5.99............................................... 1.00 6.0 to 6.49............................................... 1.09 6.5 to 6.99............................................... 1.19 7.0 to 7.49............................................... 1.29 7.5 to 7.99............................................... 1.41 8.0 to 8.49............................................... 1.53 8.5 to 8.99............................................... 1.67 9.0 to 9.49............................................... 1.82 9.5 or greater............................................ 1.89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (3) See the comprehensive example subpart D, 419.42(b)(3).

  (c) The provisions of 419.12(c) apply to discharges of process wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart.

  (d) The quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph, attributable to once-through cooling water, are excluded from the discharge allowed by paragraph (b) of this section. Once-through cooling water may be discharged with a total organic carbon concentration not to exceed 5 mg/l.

  (e) Effluent limitations for contaminated runoff. The following effluent limitations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph and attributable to contaminated runoff, which may be discharged after the application of the best practicable control technology currently available by a point source subject to this subpart.

  (1) 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 and 110 mg/l total organic carbon (TOC) based upon an analysis of any single grab or composite sample.

  (2) 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 or 110 mg/l TOC is not commingled or treated with any other type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of contaminated runoff as determined by the permit writer times the concentrations listed in the following table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPT effluent limitations for contaminated runoff --------------------------- Average of Pollutant or pollutant property daily values Maximum for for 30 any 1 day consecutive days shall not exceed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 m\3\ of flow) --------------------------- BOD5........................................ 48. 26.

TSS......................................... 33. 21.

COD \1\..................................... 360. 180.

Oil and grease.............................. 15. 8.

Phenolic compounds (4AAP)................... 0.35 0.17 Total chromium.............................. 0.73 0.43 Hexavalent chromium......................... 0.062 0.028 pH.......................................... (\2\) (\2\) --------------------------- English units (pounds per 1,000 gallons of flow) --------------------------- BOD5........................................ 0.40 0.22 TSS......................................... 0.28 0.18 COD \1\..................................... 3.0 1.5 Oil and grease.............................. 0.13 0.067 Phenolic compounds (4AAP)................... 0.0029 0.0014 Total chromium.............................. 0.0060 0.0035 Hexavalent chromium......................... 0.00052 0.00023 pH.......................................... (\2\) (\2\) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \1\ In any case in which the applicant can demonstrate that the chloride ion concentration in the effluent exceeds 1,000 mg/l (1,000 ppm), the permitting authority may substitute TOC as a parameter in lieu of COD.

A TOC effluent limitation shall be based on effluent data from the particular refinery which correlates TOC to BOD5. If in the judgment of the permitting authority, adequate correlation data are not available, the effluent limitations for TOC shall be established at a ratio of 2.2 to 1 to the applicable effluent limitations for BOD5.

\2\ Within the range of 6.0 to 9.0.
