§ 426.10 - Applicability; description of the insulation fiberglass subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting from the production of insulation fiberglass in which molten glass is either directly or indirectly made, continuously fiberized and chemically bonded into a wool-like material.
§ 426.11 - Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations and methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR part 401 shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term “cullet water” shall mean that water which is exclusively and directly applied to molten glass in order to solidify the glass.
(c) The term “advanced air emission control devices” shall mean air pollution control equipment, such as electrostatic precipitators and high energy scrubbers, that are used to treat an air discharge which has been treated initially by equipment including knock-out chambers and low energy scrubbers.
§ 426.12 - Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart after application of the best practicable control technology currently available:
(a) There shall be no discharge of process waste water pollutants to navigable waters, except as permitted in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which may be discharged in process waste water from advanced air emission control devices, when such water cannot be consumed in the process.
| Effluent characteristic | Effluent limitations | Maximum for any 1 day | Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed— | Metric units (kilograms per 1,000 kg of product) | Phenol | 0.0006 | 0.0003 | COD | 0.33 | .165 | BOD | 0.024 | .012 | TSS | 0.03 | .015 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) | English units (pounds per 1,000 lb. of product) | Phenol | 0.0006 | 0.0003 | COD | 0.33 | .165 | BOD | 0.024 | .012 | TSS | 0.03 | .015 | pH | ( 1) | ( 1) |
|---|
1 Within the range 6.0 to 9.0.
§ 426.13 - Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best available technology economically achievable.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart after application of the best available technology economically achievable: There shall be no discharge of process waste water pollutants to navigable waters.
§ 426.14 - [Reserved]
§ 426.15 - Standards of performance for new sources.
The following standards of performance establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a new source subject to the provisions of this subpart: There shall be no discharge of process waste water pollutants to navigable waters.
§ 426.16 - 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.
(a) Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to discharges of process waste water pollutants into publicly owned treatment works except for that portion of the waste stream which constitutes cullet water.
(b) [Reserved]
§ 426.17 - 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 § 426.12 of this subpart for the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT).
