| TSS | 8.47 | 3.86 | 2.72 |
| pH | (1) | (1) | (1) |
| COD | (e) | (e) | (e) |
(2) The following standards apply with respect to each new source fiber line that uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes, as disclosed by the discharger in its NPDES permit application under 40 CFR 122.21(g)(3) and certified under 40 CFR 122.22, and that commences discharge after June 15, 1998:
| Pollutant or pollutant property | NSPS (TCF) | Continuous dischargers | Maximum for any 1 day | Monthlyaverage | Non-continuousdischargers | Maximum for any 1 day | Annualaverage |
| AOX | <ML a | (b) | <ML a | (b) |

(c) With respect to each new source fiber line that is enrolled in the Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentives Program, dischargers subject to this section must achieve:
(1) The standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section (except for AOX) or paragraph (b)(2) of this section, as applicable; and
(2) Standards for filtrates, flow, and AOX:
| Tier | Filtrate recycling | Total pulping area condensate, evaporator condensate, and bleach plant wastewater flow (annual average) | AOX (kg/kkg) | Non-TCF a | Maximum for any 1 day | Annual average | TCF | Maximum for any 1 day | Annual average |
| Tier II | (b) | 10 cubic meters/kkg | 0.23 | 0.10 | <ML c | (d) |
| Tier III | (b) | 5 cubic meters/kkg | 0.11 | 0.05 | <ML c | (d) |
(d) These additional standards apply to all new sources, regardless of when they commenced discharge, in accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme unless the discharger certifies to the permitting authority that it is not using these compounds as biocides. Also, for non-continuous dischargers, concentration limitations (mg/l) shall apply. Concentration limitations will only apply to non-continuous dischargers:
| Pollutant or pollutant property | Maximum for any 1 day | kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product | Milligrams/liter |
| Pentachlorophenol | 0.0019 | (0.013)(36.6)/y |
| Trichlorophenol | 0.012 | (0.077)(36.6)/y |
| y = wastewater discharged in kgal per ton of product. |
| Pollutant or pollutant property | Maximum for any 1 day | kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product | Milligrams/liter |
| Pentachlorophenol | 0.0016 | (0.012)(31.7)/y |
| Trichlorophenol | 0.010 | (0.076)(31.7)/y |
| y = wastewater discharged in kgal per ton of product. |
| Pollutant or pollutant property | Maximum for any 1 day | kg/kkg (or pounds per 1,000 lb) of product | Milligrams/liter |
| Pentachlorophenol | 0.0014 | (0.014)(25.1)/y |
| Trichlorophenol | 0.0088 | (0.084)(25.1)/y |
| y = wastewater discharged in kgal per ton of product. |
(e) Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.44(i) and 122.45(h), a discharger must demonstrate compliance with the limitations in paragraph (b)(1) or (c)(1) of this section, as applicable, by monitoring for all pollutants (except for AOX, COD, BOD5, TSS, and pH) at the point where the wastewater containing those pollutants leaves the bleach plant. The permitting authority may impose effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements on internal wastestreams for any other pollutants covered in this section as appropriate under 40 CFR 122.44(i) and 122.45(h). In addition, a discharger subject to a limitation on total pulping area condensate, evaporator condensate, and bleach plant wastewater flow under paragraph (c)(2) of this section must demonstrate compliance with that limitation by establishing and maintaining flow measurement equipment monitoring these flows at the point or points where they leave the pulping area, evaporator area, and the bleach plant.
