§ 408.280 - Applicability; description of the sardine processing subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting from the canning of sardines or sea herring for sardines. These provisions, however, do not cover the relatively new steaking operation in which cutting machines are used for preparing fish steaks.
§ 408.281 - Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations and methods of analyses set forth in part 401 of this chapter shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term seafood shall mean the raw material, including freshwater and saltwater fish and shellfish, to be processed, in the form in which it is received at the processing plant.
§ 408.282 - Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available.
Except as provided in §§ 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart shall achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT):
(a) Any sardine processing facility which utilizes dry transportation systems from the fish storage area to the fish processing area shall meet the following limitations:
| Effluent characteristic | Effluent limitations | Maximum for any 1 day | Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed— | Metric units (kg/kkg of seafood) | TSS | 36 | 10 | Oil and grease | 3.5 | 1.4 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) | English units (lb/1,000 lb of seafood) | TSS | 36 | 10 | Oil and grease | 3.5 | 1.4 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) |
|---|
1 Within the range 6.0 to 9.0.
(b) Any sardine processing facility not covered under § 408.282(a) shall meet the following limitations:
| Effluent characteristic | Effluent limitations | Maximum for any 1 day | Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed— | Metric units (kg/kkg of seafood) | TSS | 48 | 16 | Oil and grease | 6.3 | 2.8 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) | English units (lb/1,000 lb of seafood) | TSS | 48 | 16 | Oil and grease | 6.3 | 2.8 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) |
|---|
1 Within the range 6.0 to 9.0.
§ 408.283 -
§ 408.284 - Pretreatment standards for existing sources.
Any existing source subject to this subpart that introduces process wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403. In addition, the following pretreatment standard establishes the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this section which may be discharged to a publicly owned treatment works by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart.
| Pollutant or pollutant property | Pretreatment standard | BOD | No limitation. | TSS | Do. | pH | Do. | Oil and grease | Do. |
|---|
§ 408.285 - Standards of performance for new sources.
The following standards of performance establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which may be discharged by a new source subject to the provisions of this subpart:
| Effluent characteristic | Effluent limitations | Maximum for any 1 day | Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed— | Metric units (kg/kkg of seafood) | TSS | 36 | 10 | Oil and grease | 1.4 | 0.57 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) | English units (lb/1,000 lb of seafood) | TSS | 36 | 10 | Oil and grease | 1.4 | 0.57 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) |
|---|
1 Within the range 6.0 to 9.0.
§ 408.286 - Pretreatment standards for new sources.
Any new source subject to this subpart that introduces process wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403. In addition, the following pretreatment standard establishes the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this section which may be discharged to a publicly owned treatment works by a new source subject to the provisions of this subpart:
| Pollutant or pollutant property | Pretreatment standard | BOD | No limitation. | TSS | Do. | pH | Do. | Oil and grease | Do. |
|---|
§ 408.287 - Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT).
Except as provided in §§ 125.30 through 125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart shall 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 shall be the same as those specified for conventional pollutants (which are defined in § 401.16) in § 408.282 of this subpart for the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT).
