[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 40, Volume 27] [Revised as ofJuly 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 40CFR432.107] [Page 273-274] TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED) PART 432--MEAT PRODUCTS POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents Subpart J--Renderer Subcategory Sec. 432.107 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best conventional pollution control technology. (a) Except as provided in Secs. 125.30 through 125.32, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this section, the following limitations establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart after application of the best conventional pollutant control technology: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Effluent limitations ------------------------- Average of daily values for Effluent characteristic Maximum for 30 any 1 day consecutive days shall not exceed-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Metric units (kg/kkg of raw material) -------------- BOD5.......................................... 0.18 0.09 TSS........................................... 0.22 0.11 Oil and grease................................ 0.10 0.05 Fecal coliforms............................... (\1\) (\1\) pH............................................ (\2\) (\2\) --English units (lb/1,000 lb. of raw material) -------------- BOD5.......................................... 0.18 0.09 TSS........................................... 0.22 0.11 Oil and grease................................ 0.10 0.05 Fecal coliforms............................... (\1\) (\1\) pH............................................ (\2\) (\2\) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \1\ Maximum at any time: 400 mpn/100 ml. \2\ Within the range 6.0 to 9.0. (b) The limitations given in paragraph (a) of this section for BOD5 and TSS are derived for a renderer which does no cattle hide curing as part of the plant activities. If a renderer does conduct hide curing, the following empirical formulas should be used to derive an additive adjustment to the effluent limitations for BOD5 and TSS. BOD5 Adjustment (kg/kkg RM) = 3.6 x (number of hides)/kg of raw material (lb/1,000 lb [[Page 274]] RM) = 7.9 x (number of hides)/lbs of raw material TSS Adjustment (kg/kkg RM)=6.2x(number of hides)/kg of raw material (lb/ 1,000 lb RM) = 13.6 x (number of hides)/lbs of raw material [51 FR 25001, July 9, 1986]
