§ 432.42 Effluent limitations attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT).
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 application of BPT:
(a) Facilities that slaughter no more than 50 million pounds per year (in units of LWK) must achieve the following limitations:
(1) In the case of process wastewater associated with the slaughtering of animals on-site or the processing of the carcasses of animals slaughtered on-site:
Effluent Limitations
[BPT]
| Regulated parameter | Maximum daily 1 | Maximum monthly avg. 1 |
|---|---|---|
| BOD52 | 0.48 | 0.24 |
| Fecal Coliform | ( 3) | ( 4) |
| O&G 5 | 0.26 | 0.13 |
| TSS 2 | 0.62 | 0.31 |
1 Pounds per 1000 lbs (or g/kg) LWK.
2 The values for BOD5 and TSS are for average plants, i.e., plants where the ratio of avg. wt. of processed meat products/avg. LWK is 0.55. Adjustments can be made for high-processing packinghouses operating at other such ratios according to the following equations: lbs BOD5/1000 lbs LWK = 0.21 + 0.23 (v—0.4) and lbs TSS/1000 lbs LWK = 0.28 + 0.3 (v—0.4), where v equals the following ratio: lbs processed meat products/lbs LWK.
