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:

\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
