The Rubber, Paving and Roofing, and Carbon Black
Manufacturers are regulated for Oil and Grease at 100 mg/1 while
the Glass Manufacturers have production based Oil and Grease
x standards which vary for each applicable subpart. For
SJ facilities which are included in the subparts listed above and
which began construction after the proposal date, Control
Authorities should direct industrial users to comply with these i
pretreatment standards.
V)
In addition, in the memo of August 24, 1988, OWEP indicated
v that it would perform a review and provide information regarding
v the implementation of the no-discharge standards for the Grain
J! Mills (Subparts C & E), Sugar Processing (Subpart A), and
3 Feedlots (Subparts A & B) categories. OWEP, in conjunction with
the Office of General Counsel (OGC), has reviewed these
standards. Control Authorities should be directed to implement -
the no-discharge requirements found in the CFR for these
industrial categories and enforce against instances of
noncompliance.
Today's guidance, together with the guidance of August 24,
1988, directs that pretreatment standards regarding any and aU-_
i pollutants, including no-discharge reguirements. should be
* enforced for all non-Consent Decree categorical industries.
f In a separate analysis. OWEP, in conjunction with the OGC,
^ has reviewed categorical pretreatment standards in the CFR with
the following conditions: 1) the Pretreatment Standards for New
Sources (PSNS) cross reference the New Source Peformance
Standards (NSPS) using language similar to the following:
w The pretreatment standard for incompatible pollutants
introduced into a publicly owned treatment works shall
Q) . be the standard of performance for new sources
^ ^ (emphasis added);
c ^ and 2) the NSPS only contains listings for conventional
<0
£ pollutants. Conventional pollutants, however, are not
^ considered incompatible. Therefore, in situations where this
2 cross reference exists and where only conventional pollutants
v ^ v are listed in the NSPS. there is no applicable categorical
5 2 pretreatment standard for new sources. These industrial
^ £ sources, however, are subject to the General Pretreatment
* Regulations found in 40 CFR Part 403. This cross reference
occurs in the following industrial categories:

In industrial categories where a similar cross-reference
exists but the USPS contains listings for both compatible and
incompatible pollutants (see, e.g., §428.46), the pretreatment
standard consists of only the NSPS control of the incompatible
pollutant.

Regional Water Compliance Branch Chiefs
Last January, at the National Pretreatment Meeting in
Philadelphia, several states raised questions regarding the
enforceability of pretreatment regulations promulgated prior to
the 1976 Consent Decree between EPA and the Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC). These same questions have also been
raised in other forums; e.g., the Pretreatment Compliance
Monitoring and Enforcement Workshop in Richmond, Virginia and
the Local Limits Workshop in Washington, D.C. These questions
apparently result from the fact that numerous EPA guidance
documents which list industrial categories subject to
pretreatment standards have omitted reference to industrial
categories with standards issued prior to the 1976 Consent
Decree. Additionally, the primary focus by EPA in pretreatment
program implementation has been the 21 NRDC industrial
categor ies.
In response to these questions, the Office of Water
Enforcement and Permits (OWEP), in conjunction with the Office
of Water Regulations and Standards (OWRS) and the Office of
Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring (OECM), has initiated a
review of the industrial categories in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) which EPA has not addressed in previous
pretreatment guidance. Based on that review, the attachment to
this memorandum identifies: 1) those non-Consent Decree
categorical standards for toxics and non-conventional
pollutants, as well as no-discharge specifications for which
Control ana Approval Authorities should take immediate action to
ensure industrial user compliance; 2) those conventional
pollutant standards that EPA is continuing to review; and 3) a
listing of categories that have no categorical pretreatment
standards and which, therefore, require no action by Control and
Approval Authorities. (See the attachment for a summary of the
-------
standards reviewed). of the industrial categories not covered
under the NRDC Consent Decree, eight industrial categories are
of particular concern due to the nature of their pollutant
discharges. For these industrial categories, Control
Authorities should take immediate steps to ensure that new.
sources comply with the regulations. These eight industrial
cTtegbries include:
Soap and Detergent Manufacturing
Fertilizer Manufacturing
Ferroalloy Manufacturing
Glass Manufacturing
Asbestos Manufacturing
Rubber Manufacturing
Paint Formulating
Ink Formulating
The EPA Regions are responsible for ensuring that
pretreatment delegated States and/or Control Authorities
are provided with information as to the status of pretreatment
regulations. Control Authorities should be directed to
implement the categorical regulations for toxics, non-
conventional pollutants, and the no-discharge specifications for
new sources in the eight industrial categories cited above as
part of their regular pretreatment programs. In their required
industrial user survey, Control Authorities should already have
identified the industrial facilities within their service area
for which pretreatment standards apply.
In order to determine whether an industrial user is
subject to the pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS),
the Control Authority should obtain the date the facility
commen£ed_cojTS_y[uctj:on and compare it to the proposed date of
the regulation, as listed in the attachment. if the facility
is found to be subject to PSNS, the Control Authority should
inform the facility of the requirement to comply with these
pretreatment regulations. For facilities which are in violation
of these pretreatment standards, the Control Authority should
establish an expeditious compliance schedule (in no case
greater than three years) in an appropriate enforcement order
or other control mechanism.
If you have any questions please call me (FTS 475-8488) or

PRE-CONSENT DECREE CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS
Evaluation of Pretreatment Standards in
the CFR not Previously Implemented
INTRODUCTION
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) governs the conduct of
the pretreatment program and lists industrial categories which
have existing and new source pretreatment standards. Host of
the industrial categories listed in the CFR have been informed
as to what actions are expected of them, but some of the
industrial categories have been omitted in EPA guidance
documents which list categories subject to pretreatment
regulations.
Those industrial categories for which pretreatment
implementation requirements were established as a result of the
NRDC consent Decree are presented in the following list:
Industrial Category (Consent Decree)
Electroplating
Organic Chemicals and Plastics and synthetic Fibers
Inorganic Chemicals
Petroleum Refining
Iron and Steel Manufacturing
Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing
Steam Electric Power Generation
Leather Tanning and Finishing
Timber Products Processing
Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Processing
The Builder's Paper and Board Mills
Metal Finishing
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Battery Manufacturing
Metal Molding and Casting
Coil Coating
Porcelain Enameling
Aluminum Forming
Copper Forming
Electrical and Electronic Components
Nonferrous Metals Forming
These industrial users have received guidance relating to the
implementation of pretreatment regulations in the CFR.
Implementation of the pre-Consent Decree pretreatmerft
standards found in the CFR, however, has not been specifically
addressed for many industrial categories. Those industries for
which pretreatment standards have not been specifically
addressed are presented in the following list:
(A.-

Of the 30 industrial categories listed above, only eight (in
highlight) are regulated for toxic and non-conventional
pollutants or have no-discharge specifications. These eight
industrial categories are given primary emphasis in this
guidance due to the nature of the regulated pollutants.
This report is divided into three sections. The first
section introduces the non-Consent Decree industrial categories
and provides a framework for further discussions. Section II
evaluates the pretreatment standards for the pre-Consent Decree
industrial categories (with emphasis on the eight highlighted
industrial categories) and gives examples of each type of
standard. Section III provides information regarding the
implementation of the categorical pretreatment standards for
the eight highlighted industrial categories.
PRE-CONSENT DECREE PRETREATMENT STANDARDS
This section of the report discusses the various types of
pretreatment standards found in the CFR which were issued prior
to 1977. The pretreatment standards for these industrial
categories fall into six major types.
2
-------
1. Standards which regulate toxic substances.
2. Standards which prohibit discharge of wastewater.
3. Standards which regulate non-conventional pollutants.
4. Standards which regulate conventional pollutants.
5. Standards which simply reference the General Pretreatment
Regulations found in sections 128 and 403 of the CFR.
6. No standards
These standards are broken down into existing source
standards and new source standards. For many of the industrial
categories, regulations were issued for new source dischargers
only; pre-Consent Decree pretreatment standards that address
toxics, non-conventionals, no-discharge prohibitions, and
conventional pollutants are for new sources only. The pre-
Consent Decree pretreatment standards which simply reference
parts 128 or 403 or for which there is no listing in the CFR
cover both existing and new sources.
This document discusses the new source and existing source
standards separately and provides examples from the text to
help clarify the intent of the regulation.
New source pretreatment standards
1. Standards which regulate toxic substances
The regulations in the CFR for non-Consent Decree industrial
categories regulated for toxic pollutants apply to new sources
only. Industrial categories and subparts which are regulated
for toxic substances are presented in the following list:
Part Cateaorv/Subpart
Regulated

G - Large Sized Molded, Lead
Extruded and
Fabricated Plants
J - Latex Dipped, Latex Chromium
Extruded and Latex
Molded Rubber Plants
K - Latex Foam Zinc
* Surrogate for asbestos fibers
In cases where the regulations use surrogate substances for
the control of toxics, the regulations should be considered as
toxic regulation and implemented as soon as possible. This is
the case for the Asbestos Manufacturing sector where the
restriction on Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is a surrogate for
the control of asbestos fibers in the effluent.
The Office of Water Enforcement and Permits (OWEP) and the
Office of Water Regulations and Standards (OWRS) have reviewed
the regulations and consider the control of toxic pollutants for
these three categories to be legally required and
environmentally appropriate. Industrial Users (IUs) covered
under these regulations are categorical facilities and are
subject to the requirements presented in the CFR.
For facilities which are included in the subparts listed
above and which began construction after the following dates,
Control Authorities should direct that pretreatment standards be
adopted.
Rubber Manufacturing August 23, 1974
Ferroalloy Manufacturing October 18, 1973
Asbestos Manufacturing October 30, 1973
States and Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) should be
made aware of the status of these regulations and the need to
ensure that compliance is achieved regarding the pretreatment
standards in these industrial categories.
2. Standards which prohibit discharge of wastewater
The regulations in the CFR for non-Consent Decree industrial
categories which specify no-discharge of process wastewater
apply to new sources of discharge only. Industrial categories
and subparts which a.re regulated for no discharge of process
4
-------
wastewater are presented in the following list:
Within these industrial categories, there are three distinct
types of discharge restrictions outlined in the CFR. First,
there is a provision for no-discharge to navigable waters from
the industrial user. This restriction applies to the Grain
Mills (all subparts), Sugar Processing (all subparts), Feedlots
(all subparts), Glass Manufacturing (all subparts), and Asbestos
Manufacturing (all subparts) industrial, categories listed below.
Second, industrial users are prohibited from discharging any
process wastewater to a POTW. This restriction applies to the
Paint Formulating and Ink Formulating industrial categories.
Finally, there is a prohibition from discharging any process
wastewater pollutants whatsoever. This restriction applies to
the Fertilizer Manufacturing industrial category.

While the regulations for no-discharge for certain subparts
of the Grain Mills, Sugar Processing and Feedlots industrial
categories are in effect, these pretreatment standards may be
5
-------
intended as a control of conventional pollutants only. Such
control is appropriate for local limits to prevent interference
or pass-through, but there are certain statutory questions to be
resolved on the control of conventional pollutants through
categorical pretreatment standards. OWEP, the Industrial
Technology Division (ITD) and the Office of General Counsel
(OGC) are reviewing these regulations and will provide further
information at a later date.
For the Fertilizer, Glass, Asbestos, Paint Formulating and
Ink Formulating industrial categories, OWEP and OWRS have
determined that the no-discharge requirement effectively
controls toxic or non-conventional pollution. New sources
within these five categories should be directed to adopt
pollution control techniques in order to come into compliance
with the no-discharge regulations.
For facilities which are included in the subparts listed
above and which began construction after the following dates,
control authorities should direct that pretreatment standards be
adopted.

The Soap and Detergent Manufacturing industrial category is
covered by a COD/BOD ratio restriction which prohibits the
discharge of process wastewater in which the COD/BOD7 ratio
exceeds 10.0 and the COD exceeds 0.20 kg/kkg of anhydrous
product. All other industrial categories covered by non-
conventional pollutant restrictions have a more typically
straight-forward limitation imposed upon the specific non-
conventional pollutant.

OWEP and OWRS have reviewed the regulations governing the
discharge of non-conventional pollutants and consider the
control of such discharge to be legally required and
environmentally appropriate. IUs covered under these
regulations are categorical facilities and are subject to the
requirements presented in the CFR.
For facilities which are included in the subparts listed
above and which began construction after the following dates,
control authorities should direct that new source pretreatment
standards for the regulation of non-conventional pollutants be
adopted.

There are statutory questions to be resolved by the OGC
regarding the control of conventional pollutants through
categorical pretreatment standards. The Industrial Technology
Division and the OGC .will review these regulations and provide
further information at a later date.
However, if the regulation of a conventional pollutant is
being used as a surrogate for a toxic pollutant, then the
pretreatment standards for that conventional pollutant should be
implemented. This is the case for the regulation of TSS in the
Asbestos Manufacturing category, where TSS is being used as a
surrogate for asbestos fibers.
Existing and new source pretreatment standards
5. Standards which simply reference the General Pretreatment
Regulations found in sections 128 and 403 of the cfr
Appendix I gives a list of industrial categories for which
only a general reference to the pretreatment regulations is
listed. This Appendix is broken down into two parts. Appendix
la gives a list of industrial categories which are regulated
for existing sources. Appendix lb gives a list of industrial
categories which are regulated for new sources of discharge.
There has been confusion and inconsistencies in identifying
whether such industrial users are categorical. For example, in
the Canned and Preserved Seafood category, the CFR states, "The
9
-------
pretreatment standards under section 307(b) of the Act...shall
be the standard set forth in 40 CFR Part 128." Such IU's, which
have no categorical limits beyond the General Pretreatment
Regulations, are not considered categorical users.1
These noncategorical users are still subject to the general
guidelines outlined in sections 128 and 403. These general
guidelines include provisions of prohibited discharge for
wastewater which can cause: interference of POTW operation,
pass-through of pollutants through the POTW, corrosion of
wastewater delivery systems, explosive hazards either art the
POTW or in the delivery system, health hazards to sewer workers
or workers at the POTW, and sludge contamination. These
industrial categories are also subject to local limits and may
still be considered significant IU's which require monitoring
and reporting by the POTW.
6. No standards
Appendix II gives a listing of industrial categories for
which there are no pretreatment standards listed in the CFR.
These industrial categories are still subject to the prohibited
discharge standards discussed in the previous section.
GUIDANCE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PRE-CONSENT DECREE
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS
The following discussion provides guidance to POTWs regarding
the implementation of the categorical pretreatment standards in
the eight industrial categories highlighted in the report. The
standards listed below include those which regulate toxic and
non-conventional pollutants as well as those which specify no-
discharge of wastewater. For each industrial category the
appropriate subparts and their relevant standards are listed,
and there is a brief outline of the applicability for each
standard as presented in the CFR.
417 SOAP AND DETERGENT MANUFACTURING
Within the Soap and Detergent Manufacturing industrial
category, subparts O, P, Q and R are regulated for non-
conventional pollutants.
For subparts 0, P and R, the proposal date for the regulation
was February 20, 1975. For subpart Q, the proposal date for the
regulation was December 26, 1973. Facilities which began
construction after these dates are subject to the new source

-------
regulations and should be informed of the need for compliance
with the regulations. For facilities which are non-compliant,,
an expeditious compliance schedule (in no case greater than
three years) should be adopted in an appropriate control
mechanism.
Subpart: 0 - Manufacture of Spray Dried Detergents
§417.150 Applicability
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges
resulting from all operations associated with the manufacture of
spray dried detergents, including but not limited to assembly

Categorical Determinations
introduction
¦me ability to make categorical determinations for industrial users is a
vital skill for state staff with pretreatment responsibilities. Staff
are called upon to mate formal determinations in response to 40 CFR
403.6(a) category determination requests. In addition, knowledge of
categorical regulations is required to maintain adequate oversite of
local programs. Staff must be able to provide technical assistance to
POIWs with regard to making categorical determinations, and will need "o
assess the FCTIW's ability to correctly apply categorical standards in the
course of performing PCIs and Audits.
Information Needs
In order to mate a proper category determination, it is necessary to have
adequate information on the facility in question. While information
needs vary with the different categories, the following is a list of
items most useful:
Product descriptions:
Many categorical regulations are applicable to facilities based upon
products (eg. Battery Manufacturing, Electrical and Electronic
Components, inorganic Chemicals, Fharmacenticals, Organic Chemicals,
etc.) Where intermediates are produced, the next stage in the process
may effect the category to which the intermediate is subject. It is
important to know whether the subsequent operations are performed on site
or offsite (eg. Plastics molding and Forming of crude intermediates by
plastic resins manufacturers is regulated under OCPSF if further
processed off-site, and under Plastics Molding and Forming if further
processed on-site.)
Process Description:
Many categorical regulation are based largely upon the processes
performed by the facility (eg. Aluminum Forming, Coil coating, copper
Forming, Electroplating, Metal Finishing, Petroleum Refining, Leather
Tanning and Finishing, etc.) It is important to know all the "ancillary"
operations performed as well as "core" operations. "Dry operations may
affect the determination as well as "wet" operations (e.g. Facilities
performing one of the six "core" operations in the metal finishing
category are- subject to this regulation for any discharge from the 40
metal finishing operations, even if there is no discharge from the core
operation). Some processes may be regulated under more than one
category. In these cases the determination will be based on other
factors such as preceding/subsequent operations, other processes
performed on site, products, etc. (eg, Electroplating vs. Metal
Finishing, Nonferrous metal forming vs Metal Finishing, etc.)
-------
Description of Raw Materials or Basis Materials:
Some determinations are influenced by raw materials (eg. nonferrous metal
forming vs Aluminum forming) or basis material being processed (eg. coil
Coating Subcategories).
Age of Facility:
Hie age of the facility will determine whether a source is "new" or
"existing" (see 53 FR 40610-403. (k)). In seme cases this win determine
categorization (eg. electroplating vs metal finishing for "job shops").
SIC Codes:
Sic codes may be useful in sane cases, in most cases SIC Codes are not a
major determining factor (the notable exception being OCPSF).
References
Hie primary references for making categorical determinations are the
regulations themselves as published in the Federal Register and compiled
annually in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Parts 400-424 and
425-699.
Hie following is a list of other helpful references:

ALUMINUM FORMING
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides industries in the Aluminum Forming Category and
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) with the information necessary to
determine compliance with pretreatment standards for this industrial category.
The Aluminum Forming categorical standards were established by the Environ-
mental Protection Agency in Part 467 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR 467). This summary is not intended to substitute for the
regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal
Register. For specific information, refer to the Federal Register citations
given belov.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Aluminum Forming category is divided into six subcategories based
primarily on different manufacturing processes. The subcategories and their
corresponding Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes are:
A.
B.
Subcategory
Rolling vith Neat Oils
Rolling vith Emulsions
SIC Code
3353,3355
3353,3355
1Section 467.01(c) was promulgated as an interim rule. It sets PSES for two
groups of plants: 1) those that extrude less than 1,360,000 kg (3 million
pounds) of aluminum annually, and 2) plants that draw vith emulsions or soaps
and produce less than 453,333 kg (1 million pounds) of aluminum annually.

Each subcategory consists of two segments, core operations and ancillary
operations. Core operations include forming processes and those related
processes that typically occur in conjunction with forming. The core also
includes processes that are not always used in conjunction with forming but
do not discharge wastewater. Ancillary operations are not always unique to a
single subcategory and are generally characterized by the substantial volume
of wastewater they produce. Since they are not found at every plant, ancil-
lary operations are not included in the core and, therefore, have separate
limitations.
The discharge limits for aluminum forming industries are mass-based. The
production-normalizing parameter used in setting limitations for both core and
ancillary operations is the off-kilogram (off-pound), which is the mass of
aluminum or aluminum alloy removed from a forming or ancillary operation at
the end of a process cycle for transfer to another process. An aluminum
forming plant is permitted to discharge a mass of pollutants equivalent to the
sum of the mass limitations established for the core operations and the
individual ancillary operation(s) that are used at the plant.
Processes for casting aluminum or aluminum alloy at plants that manu-
facture aluminum and also do aluminum forming may be subject to different
categorical standards. Casting processes at these plants are regulated by the
Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Categorical Standards for casting if they cast
aluminum without cooling. If the aluminum they produce is a remelted primary
or secondary product and is cast at a facility that also forms aluminum, the
casting processes subsequent t^ remelting are regulated by the Aluminum
Forming categorical standards.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by the Aluminum Forming Categorical Standards
are chromium, total cyanide, zinc, and total toxic organics (TTO). For this
standard, the term total toxic organics (TTO) is defined in 40 CFR 467.02(p)
as the sum of the masses or concentrations of each of the following compounds
found in the discharge at a concentration greater than 0.01 mg/1.
p-chloro-m-cresol
2-chlorophenol
2,4-dini rfCtoluene
1,2-diphenylhydrazine
ethylbenzene
fluoranthene
isophorone
napthalene
N-nitrosodiphenylamine

As an alternative to monitoring for TTO, indirect dischargers may monitor
and limit oil and grease to the levels established in the PSES and PSNS. Any
indirect discharger meeting the alternative monitoring levels for oil and
grease standards will be considered to be meeting the TTO standard. However,
as outlined by EPA in the Guidance Manual for Implementing Total Toxic
Organics (TTO) Pretreatment Standards, industrial dischargers subject to
standards for TTO are required to submit the results of monitoring for all 39
regulated toxic organics or the results of oil and grease monitoring to the
Control Authority in the BMR, the 90-day compliance report, and subsequent
semiannual reports on continued compliance.
In addition, industrial dischargers subject to standards for cyanide may
not be required to perform periodic monitoring for cyanide if both of the
following conditions are met.
(1) The first wastewater sample of each calendar year has been analyzed
and found to contain less than 0.07 mg/1 cyanide, and
(2) The owner or operator of the aluminum forming plant certifies in
writing to the POTV authority or permit issuing authority that
cyanide is not and vill not be used in the aluminum process.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Surface treatment of aluminum, whether chemical or electrochemical, is
covered by the Aluminum Forming standards whenever It is performed as an
integral part of aluminum forming. For the purposes of this category, surface
treatment is considered to be an integral part of aluminum forming whenever it
is performed at the same plant site at which the aluminum is formed. These
surface treatment operations are covered by the standards for cleaning or
etching baths, rinses, and scrubbers in the Aluminum Forming category and are
not subject to regulation under the Metal Finishing standards in 40 CFR Part
433.

CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides firms subject to the Battery Manufacturing
Categorical Standards and Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) with the
information necessary to determine compliance with these standards. The
Battery Manufacturing Standards were established by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under Part 461 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR 461). This summary is not intended to substitute for the
regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal
Register. For specific information, refer to the Federal Register citations

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES AFFECTED
The Battery Manufacturing category is divided into seven subcategories
based primarily on the active anode material used by firms in each sub-
category. The~"Subcategories that are affected by these regulations are:
Subcategory A - Cadmium
Subcategory B - Calcium
Subcategory C - Lead
Subcategory D - Leclanche
Subcategory E - Lithium
Subcategory F - Magnesium
Subcategory G - Zinc
Industries in the Battery Manufacturing Category are generally included within
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 3691 and 3692.

BATTERY MANUFACTURING (cont.)
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by the Battery Manufacturing categorical
standards are cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, cyanide, lead, manganese,
mercury, nickel, silver, and zinc. Not all of these pollutants are regulated
in each of the subcategories. Limits vere promulgated only if the pollutant
was found in a significant concentration in the raw waste water.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING AND NEW SOURCES (PSES AND PSNS)
PSES and PSNS for all seven subcategories are summarized in the following
tables. Pretreatment Standards for Existing Sources (PSES) were not
promulgated for Subcategories B and E because of the small amount and low
level of toxicity of the discharges from industries in these subcategories.
Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS) were promulgated for all
subcategories. The "Max" Standards are the maximum levels of pollutants for
any one day. The "Avg" Standards are the maximum levels of pollutants for a
monthly average of all samples taken. All standards are mass-based in units
of mg/kg (pounds/million pounds) of material indicated for each process.

COAL MINING
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides firms in the Coal Mining industrial category and
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTVs) with the information necessary to
determine compliance with pretreatment standards. The Coal Mining industry
vas established by the Environmental Protection Agency under Part 434 of Title
40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 434). No pretreatment standards
were established for this industrial category. There are no indirect dis-
chargers known and none are known to be planned. Coal mines are generally
located in rural areas far from a POTV; on-site treatment and direct discharge
is more cost effective in virtually every case. For specific information,
refer to the Federal Register citations given below.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES AFFECTED1
The Coil Coating category has been divided into four subcategories based
on raw materials used or processes operated. The four subcategories are
listed below along with four-digit SIC codes that may be used to identify
facilities subject to standards established for this industrial category.
The SIC codes are intended to be used as guidance only.

REGULATED POLLUTANTS
All of the pollutant limits established for the Coil Coating category are
mass-based limits. Industries regulated under Subcategories A and C have
limits on their discharges of chromium, cyanide, and zinc. Industries regu-
lated under Subcategory B have limits on their discharges of chromium, copper,
cyanide, and zinc.
Industries regulated under Subcategory D (Canmaking) have limits on their
discharges of chromium, copper, zinc, fluoride, phosphorus, manganese, and
total toxic organics (TTO). For this industrial category, total toxic
organics (TTO) is defined in 40 CFR 46S.02(j) as the sum of the mass of each
of the following toxic organic compounds that are found at a concentration
greater than 0.01 mg/1.
1,1,1-trichloroethane bis (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
1,1-dichlorethane butyl benzyl phthalate
1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane Di-N-butyl phthalate
bis (2-chloroethyl) ether phthalate
chloroform phenanthrene
1,1-dichloroethylene tetrachloroethylene
methylene chloride toluene
pentachlorophenol
As an alternative to monitoring for TTO, indirect dischargers in Sub-
category D may measure and limit oil and grease to the levels established by
PSES and PSNS. Any indirect discharger meeting the alternative oil and grease
standards will be considered to be meeting the appropriate TTO standards. Oil
and grease concentrations are to be determined by the method outlined in 40
CFR 465.03(c).

COIL COATING (cont.)
As outlined by EPA in the Guidance Manual for Implementing Total Toxic
Organics (TTO) Pretreatment Standards, industrial dischargers subject to
standards for TTO are required to submit the results of monitoring for all 14
regulated toxic organics or the results of oil and grease monitoring to the
Control Authority in the BMR, the 90-day compliance report, and subsequent
semiannual reports on continued compliance.
The regulations provide Coil Coating facilities with an exemption from
periodic cyanide monitoring if they meet the following two conditions:
(1) The first wastewater sample that is collected in each calandar year
contains less than 0.07 mg/1 cyanide, and
(2) The owner or operator of the facility certifies in writing to the
Control Authority that cyanide is not used in its coil coating
process.

CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides industries in the Copper Forming category and
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTVs) with the information necessary to
determine compliance with standards for this industrial category. The Copper
Forming categorical standards were established by the Environmental Protection
Agency in Part 468 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR
468). This summary is not intended to substitute for the regulations pub-
lished in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal Register. For spe-

SUBCATEGORIES
The Copper Forming industry is regulated as a single subcategory. Dis-
charges resulting from hot rolling, cold rolling, drawing, extrusion, and
forging operations are covered under this subcategory. PSES and PSNS have
been established for wastewaters generated by these five principal forming
operations and several different ancillary copper forming processes.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by the Copper Forming categorical standards are
chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, total toxic organics (TT0), and oil and
grease. For this category, the term total toxic organics (TT0) is defined in
40 CFR 468.02(r) as the sum of the masses or concentrations of each of the
following compounds found at a concentration greater than 0.01 mg/1.
-26-
-------
COPPER FORMING (cont.)
benzene naphthalene
1,1,1-trichloroethane N-ni torsodiphenylamine
chloroform anthracene
2,6-dinitrotoluene phenanthrene
ethylbenzene toluene
methylene chloride trichloroethylene
Oil and grease is regulated by this category as an alternative to moni-
toring and meeting the standards for total toxic organics (TTO). Indirect
dischargers may monitor their discharges of oil and grease and meet the
alternative monitoring levels established for oil and grease rather than
monitoring for TTO. Any indirect discharger meeting the alternative oil and
grease monitoring level will be considered to meet the TTO standard. As
outlined by EPA in the Guidance Manual for Implementing Total Toxic Organics
(TTO) Pretreatment Standards, industrial discharges subject to standards for
TTO are required to submit the results of monitoring for all 12 regulated
toxic organics or the results of oil and grease monitoring to the Control
Authority in the BMR, the 90-day compliance report, and subsequent semiannual
reports on continued compliance.
All limits established by the copper forming standards are mass-based and
are expressed in units of mg/off-kg (equivalent to lbs/1,000,000 off-lbs).
Off-kg and off-lb are measures of the mass of copper or copper alloy removed
from a forming or ancillary operation at the end of a process cycle for
transfer to a different machine or process.

ELECTROPLATING
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides industries in the Electroplating category and
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTVs) with the information necessary to
determine compliance with pretreatment standards for this industrial category.
The Electroplating standards were established by the Environmental Protection
Agency in Part 413 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR
413). This summary is not intended to substitute for the regulations pub-
lished in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal Register. For spe-
cific information, refer to the Federal Register citations given below.
The processes regulated by the Electroplating and Metal Finishing cate-
gorical pretreatment standards overlap somewhat. The Electroplating standards
apply to existing job shop ilectroplaters1 and existing independent printed
circuit board manufacturers . All other facilities that perform one of the
six operations regulated by the Electroplating standards are now regulated by
the more stringent Metal Finishing standards. The Metal Finishing standards
also regulate wastewaters discharged from an additional 40 processes performed
at industrial facilities in conjunction with one of the six regulated
Electroplating processes. All new indirect dischargers that perform one of
the six processes regulated by Electroplating standards must comply with the
Metal Finishing standards for new sources (PSNS). There are no Electroplating
standards for new sources; the standards are only applicable to existing
sources.
For all categories, a new source is defined as a facility that has begun
construction of the regulated process after publication of the proposed rule
for that particular category. Because of the overlap of the Electroplating
and Metal Finishing Regulations, the same date (the date of publication of the
proposed Metal Finishing standards) is used to determine existing and new
sources. The publication date for the proposed Metal Finishing Regulation is
August 31, 1982. Any facility that performs one of the six processes
regulated under the Electroplating standards that began construction after
August 31, 1982 is regulated by the PSNS Metal Finishing standards. These
facilities must be in compliance with the standards on the first day of
discharge.
Only existing sources that are classified as Job Shop Electroplaters1 or
Independent Printed Circuit Board Manufacturers are regulated by the
Electroplating standards and have compliance dates as listed below. All other
existing facilities were first regulated by the Electroplating standards with
compliance dates listed below and are now regulated by the PSES Metal
XA job shop as defined in 40 CFR 433.11(c) is a facility which owns not more
than 50 percent (annual area basis) of the materials undergoing metal
finishing.
2 An independent printed circuit board manufacturer as defined in 40 CFR
433.11(d) is a facility which manufactures printed circuit boards principally
for sale to other companies.

plating chemical etching and milling, anodizing, coating, and printed circuit
board manufacturing) as only one of several operations in the manufacture of
a product at a single location; 2) has significant quantities of process
wastewater from non-electroplating manufacturing processes; and 3) has one or
more electroplating process wastewater lines that are combined with process
wastewater from non-electroplating manufacturing operations prior to treat-
ment .

Dischargers must conduct TTO monitoring for the BMR and the 90-day
compliance report as outlined by EPA in the Guidance Manual for Implementing
Total Toxic Organics (TTO) Pretreatment Standards. However, dischargers may
be exempt from conducting routine (semiannual) monitoring for TTO if they
certify that toxic organics are not used in the facility or are controlled
through implementation of a toxic organics management plan. The discharger
must submit to the Control Authority for approval a toxic organics management
plan that specifies the toxic organic compounds used and the facility's
methods of disposal and spill-prevention measures. The discharger must also
provide the Control Authority with the certification statement found in 40 CFR
413.03(a) at the time of submission of the toxic organics management plan and
with all subsequent periodic reports on continued compliance.
If monitoring for TTO is necessary to determine compliance with TTO
standards, the industrial discharge may be allowed to be analyzed only for
those pollutants that would reasonably be expected to be present in the
discharge.
Total Metals is defined as the sum of the concentration or mass of
copper, nickel, chromium (total), and zinc.

ELECTROPLATING (Cont.)
Integrated facilities are defined as facilities that meet the following
criteria:
(a) Electroplating is performed as one of several of the facility's
manufacturing operations at a single location.
(b) The facility has significant quantities of process wastewater from
non-electroplating operations.
(c) One or more electroplating process wastewater lines must be combined
prior to or at the point of treatment with one or more lines that
carry non-electroplating wastewater.
The categorical standards of the regulated wastestreams to be adjusted
using the CVF must be consistent in terms of the number of samples on which
the standards are based. Electroplating wastestreams are regulated by a 4-day
average standard and are not consistent with other categorical standards that
apply a maximum monthly average (based on 10 sample days). According to 40
CFR Part 413.04, if a non-electroplating wastestream is regulated by a monthly
average standard and is combined with an electroplating wastestream, monthly
standards rather than 4-day average standards are to be used in calculating an
alternative limit with the CVF. Also, if two electroplating wastestreams
regulated under different subcategories of the electroplating regulations are
combined, the 4-day limits may be used to calculate the alternate limits,
unless an additional wastestream subject to monthly standards is added. The
following equivalent monthly averages (based on 10 sample days per month) have
been developed for use in the CVF:

The inorganic chemicals manufacturing industry is classified under
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 281, Industrial Inorganic

INORGANIC CHEMICALS MANUFACTURING (PHASE I AND II) (cont.)
The Phase II Inorganic Chemicals Manufacturing Standards were originally
to have covered 117 subcategories. However, after reviewing the inorganic
chemical products listed under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes
2812, 2813, 2816, and 2819, EPA identified seven additional subcategories,
bringing the total number of Phase II subcategories to 124. Of these 124
subcategories, 106 vere excluded from further study for one or more of the
following reasons:
1) The chemical is no longer produced.
2) Only one plant was known to be producing the chemical.
3) The amount and toxicity of pollutants did not justify national
regulation.
4) No dischargers could be identified.
5) No toxic pollutants were found at significant treatable levels.
6) The subcategory was already regulated by existing guidelines.
From the remaining 18 subcategories, EPA consolidated 17 of them into the
following six subcategories (the remaining subcategory was deferred from
regulation):
1) Cadmium Compounds - includes cadmium pigments, cadmium chloride,
cadmium nitrate, and cadmium sulfate
2) Cobalt Salts - includes cobalt chloride, cobalt nitrate, and cobalt
sulfate
3) Copper Salts - includes copper carbonate, copper chloride, copper
iodide, copper nitrate, and copper sulfate
4) Nickel Salts - includes nickel carbonate, nickel chloride, nickel
fluoborate, nickel nitrate, and nickel sulfate
5) Sodium Chlorate
6) Zinc Chloride.
PSNS have been promulgated for all six consolidated subcategories. PSES
were promulgated for five subcategories; the Sodium Chlorate subcategory was
excluded because there are no existing indirect dischargers in that subcate-
gory.

LEATHER TANNING AND FINISHING
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides industries in the Leather Tanning and Finishing
category and Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTVs) with the information
necessary to determine compliance with pretreatment standards for this cate-
gory. The Leather Tanning and Finishing standards were established by the
Environmental Protection Agency in Part 425 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR 425). This summary is not intended to substitute for the
regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal
Register. For specific information, refer to the Federal Register citations

LEATHER TANNING (cont.)
AMENDMENTS OF MARCH 21, 1988 FINAL RULE
1. Addition of new analytical method, the modified Monier-Villiams
method, for the determination of the presence of sulfide in waste-
waters for use in Subpart C.
2. EPA has amended §425.OA to permit a POTV to initiate proceedings,
revoke, or issue certification on the inapplicability of the
sulfide pretreatment standards subsequent to the original
October 13, 1983 deadline.
3. EPA has removed the upper limit for pH for vegetable tanneries in
subpart C. The upper limit was established because of the
increased solubility of chromium at pH levels in excess of 10.
Vegetable tanneries typically discharge low levels of chromium,
hence the amended limitation. The higher pH pretreatment standards
for the other subcategories remain.
4. The small tannery exemptions from the pretreatment standards for
chromium have been revised so that they are based solely on a
specified number of hides/splits per day and are not dependent on
the annual weight or number of working days per year.
5. Clarifies the production levels below which the chromium pretreat-
ment standards for existing sources (PSES) do not apply.
SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES AFFECTED
The Leather Tanning and Finishing category is broken down into nine
subcategories based on the raw materials (hide or skin type) and the three
major groups of subprocesses used:
• Beamhouse - hair removal
• Tanyard - tanning
• Retan-Uet Finish - further tanning, coloring, oil replenishment,
surface coating.
Each of the nine subcategories is described below.
Hair Pulp, Chrome Tan, Retan-Wet Finish subcategory (Subpart A) applies
to process wastewater discharges from any tannery operation that, either
exclusively or in addition to other unhairing and tanning operations,
processes raw or cured cattle or cattle-like hides into finished leather
by chemically dissolving the hide hair, chrome tanning, and retan-wet
finishing. Chrome tanning is the process of converting hide into leather
using a form of chromium. Retan-vet finishing are the final processing
steps performed on a tanned hide. They include, but are not limited to,
the following wet process: retan, bleach, color and fatliquor.

LEATHER TANNING (cont.)
Hair Save, Chrome Tan, Retan-Wet Finish subcategory (Subpart B) applies
to process wastewater discharges from any tannery operation that pro-
cesses raw or cured cattle or cattle-like hides into finished leather by
hair save unhairing, chrome tanning, and retan-wet finishing. The hair
save unhairing process involves the physical or mechanical removal of
hair which has not been chemically dissolved. The hair is then sold as a
by product or disposed of as a solid waste.
Hair Save or Pulp, Nonchrome Tan, Retan-Wet Finish subcategory (Subpart
C) applies to process wastewater discharges from any tannery operation
that processes raw or cured cattle or cattle-like hides into finished
leather by hair save or pulp unhairing, vegetable tanning, and retan-wet
finishing. Pulp unhairing is the removal of hair by chemically dis-
solving it. Vegetable tanning is the process of converting hides into
leather using chemicals either derived from vegetable matter or
synthesized to produce the same effects. These tanning agents include,
but are not limited to, alum, syntans and oils.
Retan-Vet Finish-Sides subcategory (Subpart D) applies to process waste-
water discharged from any tannery operation that processes previously
tanned hides and skins (grain side only) into finished leather by
retan-wet finishing.
The No Beamhouse subcategory (Subpart E) applies to process wastewater
discharges from any tannery that processes cattle hides, sheepskins, or
splits (hair previously removed and pickled) into finished leather by
chrome or non-chrome tanning, and retan-wet finishing.
Through-the-Blue subcategory (Subpart F) applies to process wastewater
discharged from any tannery that processes raw or cured cattle or cattle-
like hides through the blue-tanned state by hair pulp unhairing and
chrome tanning. No retan-wet finishing is performed.
The Shearling subcategory (Subpart G) applies to process wastewater
discharges from any tannery that processes raw or cured sheep or sheep-
like skins with the wool or hair retaned into finished leather by chrome
tanning or retan-wet finishing.
The Pigskin subcategory (Subpart H) applies to process wastewater dis-
charges from any tannery that processes raw or cured pigskins into
finished leather by chemically dissolving or pulping the hair and tanning
with chrome, then retan-wet finishing.
The Retan-Vet Finish-Splits subcategory (Subpart I) applies to process
wastewater discharges from any tannery that processes previously unhaired
and tanned splits into finished leather by retan-wet finishing.
Industries in the Leather Tanning and Finishing category are included
within the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 3111.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by both the PSES and PSNS for all nine subcate-
gories of the Leather Tanning and Finishing category are total chromium and
pH. Sulfide is also regulated, but only for Subcategories A, B, C, F and H.

LEATHER TANNING (cont.)
(It should be noted that the analytical method for determination of sulfide in
alkaline wastewaters is specified in the Leather Tanning and Finishing Regu-
lations (40 FR 425.03) and was revised in the March 21, 1988 amendments.) The
sulfide standard will not apply if the receiving POTV certifies* after consi-
deration of all relevant factors, that the sulfide discharged by a particular
facility does not interfere with the treatment works. This certification must
have been written and filed with EPA by January 11, 1984 for existing facili-
ties. If this certification was made and EPA determined that it was accurate,
EPA would have published a notice in the Federal Register by February 10, 1984
identifying those facilities to which the sulfide pretreatment standard does
not apply. For new facilities, this certification must be submitted prior to
discharge by the industrial facility. For further information concerning the
sulfide waiver, consult the Federal Register (Vol. 47, page 52848, November
23, 1982 and Vol 53, pg. 9179, March 21, 1988).
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SOURCES AND NEW SOURCES
The PSES and PSNS for all nine subcategories of the Leather Tanning and
Finishing category are summarized in the following table. The PSES and PSNS
for each subcategory are identical, except that the total chromium limitation
does not apply to existing sources in Subcategories A, C, and I under certain
circumstances (see footnotes to the table). All standards are concentration
based and are in units of milligrams per liter (mg/1).

Some POTWs may choose to certify to EPA that the sulfide pretreatment standard should be waived for some leather tanning and finishing
facilities. The certification will be based on site-specific factors related to sulfide interference with a POTU's operation and Is
subject to revocation If the P0TW determines that there have been changed circumstances which justify application of the sulfide
pretreatment standards.

SUBCATEGORIES
There are no subcategories. Limits are concentration-based and can be
applied to all metal finishing process discharges.
SIC CODES AFFECTED
EPA has not yet identified specific SIC codes that vill be affected by
the Metal Finishing standards. However, if a plant discharges wastewater from
one of the processes listed below, the standards apply except as also
indicated. If there are any questions on the applicability of Metal Finishing
Standards, contact EPA or the Control Authority.
REGULATED PROCESSES
The Metal Finishing standards apply to firms that are engaged in electro-
plating, electroless plating, anodizing, coating, chemical etching, or printed
circuit board manufacturing. If a firm performs any of these operations, then
its discharges from the following 40 unit processes are also regulated by the
Metal Finishing standards.

METAL FINISHING (Cont.)
The Metal Finishing PSES apply in addition to the standards for firms
regulated under the Electroplating category, except for existing job shop
electroplaters and existing independent printed circuit board manufacturers
Job shop electroplaters and independent printed circuit board manufacturers
that began construction of the regulated processes after August 31, 1982 are
regulated by the Metal Finishing Regulation. Facilities in existence prior to
August 31, 1982 are regulated by the Electroplating Regulation. Also exempt
from the Metal Finishing standards are metallic platemaking and gravure
cylinder preparation conducted at printing and publishing facilities. The
Metal Finishing PSNS apply to all nev sources regulated under the Metal
Finishing and Electroplating categories.
In some cases, another categorical standard may cover discharges from a
metal finishing operation. If so, the more specific standard will apply to
the vastestream. For example, if a firm performs two operations, coating in
preparation for painting and electroless plating in preparation for porcelain
enameling, the Metal Finishing standards would apply to discharges from the
coating process, while the porcelain enameling standard would apply to dis-
charges from the second operation. Vhen such overlaps occur, the following
standards will supersede the Metal Finishing standards:
o Nonferrous Metal Smelting and Refining (40 CFR Part 421)
o Coil Coating (40 CFR Part 465)
o Porcelain Enameling (40 CFR Part 466)
o Battery Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 461)
o Iron and Steel (40 CFR Part 420)
o Metal Molding and Casting (Foundries) (40 CFR Part 464)
o Aluminum Forming (40 CFR Part 467)
o Copper Forming (40 CFR Part 468)
o Plastic Molding and Forming (40 CFR Part 463).
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated under the Metal Finishing standards are cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, nickel, silver, zinc, cyanide, and total toxic
organics (TTO). For this category, TT0 is defined in 40 CFR 433.11(e) as "the
summation of all quantifiable values greater than 0.01 milligrams per liter

Dischargers must conduct TTO monitoring for the BKR and the 90-day
compliance report as outlined by EPA in the Guidance Manual for Implementing
Total Toxic Organics (TTO) Pretreatment Standards. However, dischargers may
be exempt from conducting routine (semiannual) monitoring for TTO if they
certify that toxic organics are not used in the facility or are controlled
through implementation of a toxic organics management plan. The discharger
must submit to the Control Authority for approval a toxic organics management
plan that specifies the toxic organic compounds used and the facility's
methods of disposal and spill-prevention measures. The discharger must also
provide the Control Authority with the certification statement found in 40 CFR
433.12(a) at the time of submission of the toxic organics management plan and
with all subsequent periodic reports on continued compliance.
If monitoring for TTO is necessary to measure compliance with the TTO
standard, the industrial discharger may be allowed to analyze only for those
pollutants that would reasonably be expected to be present in the discharge.
Cyanide monitoring must take place after cyanide treatment and before
dilution with other wastestreams unless an adjustment is made to account for
the dilution ratio of the cyanide wastestream flow to the effluent flow.
Also, if an agreement is made betveen the discharger and the Control Author-
ity, the amenable cyanide (Cyanide, A) limit may apply instead of the total
cyanide (Cyanide, T) limit.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Metal Molding and Casting category comprises facilities that remelt a
metal or its alloy to form a cast intermediate or final product by pouring or
forcing the molten metal into a mold. The casting of ingots, pigs, or other
cast shapes related to primary metal smelting are not included in this cate-
gory. The Metal Molding and Casting category is divided into four subcate-
gories, depending on the type of metal cast. These subcategories are further
broken down into the manufacturing process segments that are sources of
process wastewater.
Metal molding and casting facilities are included in Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Major Group 33 - Primary Metal Industries. The subgroups
covered by this regulation are classified under SIC codes 3321, 3322, 3324,
3325, 3361 , 3362, and 3369.
1This SIC code is now classified as 3365 and 3363.

METAL HOLDING AND CASTING (cont.)
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards Cor existing and nev
sources (PSES and PSNS) in this industrial category are copper, lead, zinc,
phenols, TTO, and oil and grease. Not all of these pollutants are controlled
in each of the subcategories. Limits are established only where the pollutant
appears in treatable concentrations in the raw wastewater.
The term total toxic organics (TTO) shall mean the sum of the mass of
each of the specified toxic organic compounds which are found in the discharge
at a concentration greater than 0.01 mg/1. For this category, the toxic
orgahics regulated as the parameter, TTO, are defined as discrete lists of
pollutants for each process segment of each subpart that is regulated by a TTO
standard. The specific toxic organics regulated as TTO are identified in AO
CFR 464.11, 464.21, 464.31, and 464.41. As established by EPA in the Guidance
Manual for Implementing Total Toxic Organics (TTO) Pretreatment Standards,
industrial dischargers subject to standards for TTO are required to submit the
results of monitoring for all regulated toxic organics to the Control
Authority in the BMR, the 90-day compliance report, and subsequent semiannual
reports on continued compliance. However, as an alternative to monitoring for
TTO, indirect dischargers may measure and limit oil and grease to the levels
established by each PSES and PSNS. Any indirect discharger meeting the
alternative oil and grease standards will be considered to be meeting the
appropriate TTO standards. Should industrial users elect to performing
alternative monitoring for oil and grease, the results of such monitoring must
be submitted in place of TTO monitoring data to the Control Authority in the
BMR, 90-day compliance report, and all subsequent reports on continued
compliance.

CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides firms subject to the Nonferrous Metals Forming and
Metal Powders Categorical Standards as well as Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTVs) with the information necessary to determine compliance with these
standards. The Nonferrous Metals Forming and Metal Powders standards were
established by the Environmental Protection Agency under Part 471 of Title 40
of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 471). This summary is not intended
to substitute the regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations or
the Federal Register. For specific information, refer to the Federal Register
citations given below.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Nonferrous Metals Forming Category is divided into 10 subcategories
(Subparts A through J) based on the type of metals formed. Subparts A through
I address nonferrous metals. Subpart J, the Metal Powders Subcategory, has
been included in this category even though it applies to ferrous metals.
The 10 subcategories are listed below:
Subpart A - Lead/Tin/Bismuth Forming
Subpart B - Magnesium Forming
Subpart C - Nickel/Cobalt Forming
Subpart D - Precious Metals Forming
Subpart E - Refractory Metals Forming
Subpart F - Titanium Forming
Subpart G - Uranium Forming
-131-
-------
NONFERROUS METALS FORMING (cont.)
Subpart H - Zinc Forming
Subpart I - Zirconium/Hafnium Forming
Subpart J - Metal Powers
Industries in the Nonferrous Metals Forming category are generally
included under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 3356, 3357,
3463, and 3497.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The 12 pollutants regulated under the different subcategories of the
Nonferrous Metals Forming Category are ammonia, antimony, cadmium, chromium,
copper, cyanide, fluoride, lead, molybdenum, nickel, silver, and zinc. Not
all of these pollutants are controlled in each subcategory. Limits are
established only where the pollutants appear in treatable concentrations in
the wastewater.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SOURCES AND NEW SOURCES (PSES and PSNS)
PSES and PSNS for all 10 subcategories (Subparts A-J) of the Nonferrous
Metals Forming category are summarized in the following tables. The pol-
lutants that are regulated vary from one subcategory to another. The term
"ND" indicates the standard specifies that there shall be no discharge of
process wastewater pollutants. All limits are mass-based and are in units of
mg/off-kg, or pounds per million off-pounds of metal handled for each process.
The "Max" standard represents the maximum pollutant level for any one day.
The "Ave" standard represents the maximum pollutant level for a monthly
average of all samples taken.
In addition to compliance with the categorical pretreatment standards,
regulations specify that all existing and new sources in the Nonferrous Metals
Forming category which introduce pollutants into a POTV must comply with 40
CFR Part 403 General Pretreatment Standards.

NONFERROUS METALS MANUFACTURING (PHASE I) (cont.)
SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Category (Phase I) is divided into
12 subcategories that correspond to different processes used by firms in the
industry. Many of the subcategories are differentiated according to primary
or secondary nonferrous metal operations. Primary operations produce metals
from ore concentrates, while secondary operations recover metals from recycled
metallic wastes (e.g., aluminum cans, lead batteries). Subcategory A, Bauxite
Refining, vill be regulated under the Phase II regulations for this industrial
category. The subcategories listed belov as regulated by Phase I are
generally classified under SIC Codes 333 and 334.
Subcategory B - Primary Aluminum Smelting
Subcategory C - Secondary Aluminum Smelting
Subcategory D - Primary Copper Smelting
Subcategory E - Primary Electrolytic Copper Refining
Subcategory F - Secondary Copper
Subcategory G - Primary Lead
Subcategory H - Primary Zinc
Subcategory I - Metallurgical Acid Plants
Subcategory J - Primary Tungsten
Subcategory K - Primary Columbium-Tantalum
Subcategory L - Secondary Silver
Subcategory M - Secondary Lead
Most of the subcategories are further divided by individual manufacturing
processes and are regulated under a building block approach which establishes
a mass-based standard for each specific process, or building block. These
standards are then summed to give the maximum permissible mass discharge for
the entire operation. A facility will receive a discharge allowance for a
particular building block only if it operates that specific process. However,
the facility does not have to discharge wastewater from the process to receive
the allowance.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The 12 pollutants regulated under the different subcategories of the
Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Category (Phase I) are ammonia, antimony,
arsenic, benzo(a)pyrene, cadmium, copper, total cyanide, fluoride, lead,
nickel, phenolics, and zinc. Not all of these pollutants are controlled in
each subcategory. Limits are established only where the pollutant appears in
treatable coneentrations in the wastewater.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SOURCES AND NEW SOURCES (PSES AND PSNS)
PSES and PSNS for all 12 subcategories of the Nonferrous Metals
Manufacturing Category (Phase I) are presented in the tables on the following
pages. Pretreatment standards for existing sources are reserved for Subparts
B, D, and E. The PSES for Subcategory F, Secondary Copper, are zero discharge
for all process wastewater except for precipitation in excess of that attrib-
utable to a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event that falls on a process wastewater
-152-
-------
NONFERROUS METALS MANUFACTURING (PHASE I) (cont.)
impoundment (see 40 CFR 421.65). The PSNS for Subcategory F is zero discharge
for all process wastewater and does not include the above allowance for cata-
strophic stormvater discharges.
The "Max" Standards are the maximum levels of pollutants for any one day.
The "Avg" Standards are the maximal levels of pollutants for a monthly average
of all samples taken. All standards are mass-based in units that vary
according to subcategory.

NONFERROUS METALS MANUFACTURING (PHASE II)
CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGES
This summary provides firms subject to the Nonferrous Metals
Manufacturing (Phase II) categorical standards and Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTVs) with the information necessary to determine compliance with
these standards. The Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing standards were estab-
lished by the Environmental Protection Agency under Part 421 of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 421). This summary is not intended to
substitute for the regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations or
the Federal Register. For specific information, refer to the Federal Register
citations given below.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Category (Phase II) is divided into
25 subcategories that correspond to different processes used by firms in the
industry. Many of the subcategories are differentiated according to primary
or secondary nonferrous metal operations. Primary operations produce metals
from ore concentrates, while secondary operations recover metals from recycled
metallic wastes (e.g., aluminum cans, lead batteries). The subcategories
regulated under Phase II are:
Subcategory A
Subcategory I
Subcategory N
Subcategory 0
Subcategory P
Bauxite Refining
Metallurgical Acid Plants
Primary Antimony
Primary Beryllium
Primary and Secondary Germanium and Gallium

Secondary Tungsten and Cobalt
Secondary Uranium
Primary Zirconium and Hafnium
Bauxite Refining, Subcategory A, has no pretreatment standards as there are no
indirect dischargers. Subcategory I, Metallurgical Acid Plants, has been
provided in Phase II as an amendment to include molybdenum acid plants.
Primary Boron was excluded from regulation because there were no existing
dischargers and no new discharging plants were expected to be built. Primary
Cesium and Rubidium plants were excluded because the small quantity and low
toxicity of discharges did not warrant development of pretreatment standards.
Primary Lithium and Secondary Zinc were excluded because their production
processes do not require water. Primary Magnesium was excluded because its
production does not result in wastewater with treatable concentrations of pol-
lutants. The remaining 20 subcategories contain 31 primary metals and metal
groups, 20 secondary metals and metal groups, and bauxite refining. The above
listed subcategories are generally classified under SIC codes 333 and 334.
Most of the subcategories are further divided into individual manu-
facturing processes and are regulated under a building block approach which
establishes a mass-based standard for1 each specific process, or building
block. These standards are then summed to give the maximum permissible mass
discharge for the entire operation. A facility will receive a discharge
allowance for a particular building block only if it operates that specific
process. However, the facility does not have to discharge wastewater from the
process to receive the allowance.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
There are 27 pollutants regulated under the different subcategories of
the Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Category (Phase II). Not all of these
pollutants are controlled in each subcategory. Limits are established only
where the pollutant appears In treatable concentrations in the wastewaters.
The regulated pollutants and their corresponding subcategories are shown in
the tables on the following pages.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SOURCES AND NEW SOURCES (PSES AND PSNS)
PSES and PSNS for 20 subcategories of the Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing
Category (Phase II) are presented in the tables on the following pages.
Pretreatment standards for existing sources are reserved for Subparts N, 0, R,
S, T, U, W, Z, AD, and AE.

The "Max" Standards are the maximum levels of pollutants for any one day.
The "Avg" Standards are the maximum levels of pollutants for a monthly average
of all samples taken. All standards are mass-based in units that vary accord-
ing to subcategory.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers category is divided
into nine industrial segments or subcategories, based upon general types of
products manufactured. Pretreatment standards are applicable only for the
first seven of the nine subcategories. Subcategories I or J pertain to direct
dischargers only.
Subcategory B - Rayon Fibers
Subcategory C - Other Fibers
Subcategory D - Thermoplastic Resins
Subcategory E - Thermosetting Resins
Subcategory F - Commodity Organic Chemicals
Subcategory G - Bulk Organic Chemicals
Subcategory H - Specialty Organic Chemicals
Subcategory I - Direct Discharge Point Sources that use End-of-Pipe
Biological Treatment
Subcategory J - Direct Discharge Point Sources that do not use End-of-
Pipe Biological Treatment
As set forth in the applicability section of the regulation (40 CFR
414.11), the Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers regulation
applies to process wastewaters from industrial establishments that manufacture
products or product groups which are included (and have been reported to the
Bureau of Census) within the following Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) major groups:
(1) SIC 2821 - Plastic Materials, Synthetic Resins and Nonvulcanizable
Elastomers
(2) SIC 2823 - Cellulosic Man-Made Fibers
(3) SIC 2824 - Synthetic Organic Fibers, Except Cellulosic
(4) SIC 2865 - Cyclic Crudes and Intermediates, Dyes, and Organic
Pigments
(5) SIC 2869 - Industrial Organic Chemicals, Not Elsewhere Classified
As also stated in that section, the provisions of the Organic Chemicals,
Plastics and Sythetic Fibers regulation do not apply to industrial estab-
lishments that manufacture products which are included and have historically
been reported~lh the following SIC subgroups (and have not been reported
within the above SIC groups):
(1) SIC 2843085 - Bulk Surface Active Agents
(2) SIC 28914 - Synthetic Resin and Rubber Adhesives
(3) Chemicals and Chemical Preparations, Not Elsewhere Classified
(a) SIC 2899568 - Sizes, all types
(b) SIC 2899597 - Other Industrial Chemical Specialties, Including

(5) SIC 2911632 - Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Manufactured from Purchased

As explained in the preamble to the regulation, SIC codes are classifica-
tions of industrial and commercial establishments vhich are used primarily for
the collection of economic data. Although EPA proposed to define the applica-
bility of the regulation both by SIC codes and by specific products or product
groups so as to extend the coverage of the regulation to encompass Organic
Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers manufacturing processes vhich were
not reported under the first five SIC major groups, it vas determined that
technical, cost and economic impact data collection efforts focused only on
those five product groups and sufficient data had not been gathered to support
regulation of facilities reporting information under the latter SIC codes. It
was recommended, however, that Best Professional Judgement (BPJ) or
case-by-case permit limits be established for industrial facilities reporting
under non-Organic Chemical, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers SIC codes because
manufacturing processes employed by those faciliites may be essentially
identical to those used by regulated facilities and because toxic pollutants
may also be discharged by these facilities.
HISTORY OF ORCANIC CHEMICAL, PLASTICS AND SYNTHETIC FIBERS REGULATIONS
Prior to the regulation promulated on November 5, 1987, EPA had estab-
lished effluent guidelines and standards for the manufacture of Organic
Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers in four previous regulations, as
summarized below.
• Organic Chemicals Manufacturing Industry regulations
- Phase I, promulgated on April 25, 1974 (39 FR 14676), regulated 40
product/processes*, but vas remanded to EPA on February 10, 1976.
- Phase II, promulgated on January 5, 1976 (41 FR 902), covered 27
additional product/processes, but vas withdrawn by EPA on April 1,
1976 (41 FR 13936)
• Plastics and Synthetic Fibers Industry regulations
- PhaSi I, promulgated on April 5, 1974 (39 FR 12502), regulated 31
product/processes but vas vithdravn on August 4, 1976 (41 FR 32587)
- Phase II, promulgated on January 23, 1975 (40 FR 3716), regulated
eight additional product/processes but vas also vithdravn by EPA on
August 4, 1976 (41 FR 32587).
* "Product/processes" is used by EPA to mean different variations of the same
basic process used to manufacture different products as veil as using
different processes to manufacture the same product (52 FR 42523).

ORGANIC CHEMICALS, PLASTICS AND SYNTHETIC FIBERS (Cont.)
Thereafter, EPA proposed pretreatment standards on March 31, 1983 (48 FR
11828) which called for regulation of 15 toxic organic pollutants and two
toxic metals in non-plastic subcategories, and tvo toxic organic pollutants;
one metal and cyanide in the "plastics-only" subcategory. Comments were
solicited on the proposed regulations, on unresolved issues and on changes to
the proposed standards, and on additional data provided in three notices of
availability as listed previously in the summary of Federal Register citations
section. The final rule reflects changes made in response to comments
received and data collected during the proposal and comment periods.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The Organic Chemicals, Plastics and Synthetic Fibers (OCPSF) regulation
establishes pretreatment standards for 47 priority pollutants including 44
organic priority pollutants, two toxic metals and cyanide. The pretreatment
standards established for existing sources (PSES) and for new sources (PSNS)
are the same for all seven subcategories, and therefore, have been listed only
once in this summary. However, the applicability sections of each subcategory
have been included for purposes of classifying Organic Chemicals, Plastics and
Synthetic Fibers facilities by subcategory. For a listing of the pretreatment
standards for Subcategories B-H please see Table 1 of this summary.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
As discussed previously, the applicability of Organic Chemical, Plastics
and Synthethic Fiber (OCPSF) standards is based primarily on products which
are manufactured and reported under five specific SIC codes; 2821, 2823, 2824,
2865, and 2869. The OCPSF regulation covers OCPSF products/processes where
OCPSF operations are conducted as primary manufacturing activities or are
conducted ancillary to primary production activities.
The OCPSF regulation does not apply:
• To OCPSF production operations or product/processes which have
historically been reported to the Bureau of Census under non-OCPSF SIC
subgroups or codes, even if the operations or products could have been
reported under one or more of the five regulated SIC major groups.
• To process wastewater discharges from the manufacture of organic
chemical compounds solely by extraction from plant and animal raw
materials or by fermentation processes
• To discharges from OCPSF product/process operations which are covered
by provisions of other categorical standards if the wastewaters from
OCPSF operations are treated in combination with non-OCPSF regulated
wastewaters (i.e. if OCPSF-regulated wastewaters are combined for
treatment with other categorical-regulated wastewaters).
However, the OCPSF regulation does apply to OCPSF product/processes
covered by this regulation if the facility reports OCPSF products
under SIC codes 2821, 2865 or 2869 and its OCPSF wastewaters are
treated by a separate treatment system at that facility or are
discharged separately to a POTV.

ORGANIC CHEMICALS, PLASTICS AND SYNTHETIC FIBERS (Cont.)
In addition, the OCPSF regulation applies:
• To plastics molding and forming processes when plastic resin manufac-
turers mold or form (e.g., extrude and pellitize) crude intermediate
plastic material for shipment off-site
• To the extrusion of fibers.
Plastics molding and forming processes other than those described above are
regulated by the Plastics Molding and Forming pretreatment standards (40 CFR
Part 463).
In response to public comments, EPA clarified the applicability of the
OCPSF regulation to research and development facilities. Stand-alone OCPSF
research and development, pilot plant, technical service, and laboratory bench
scale operations are not covered by the OCPSF regulation. However, waste-
waters from the above operations, if conducted in conjunction with and related
to existing OCPSF manufacturing operations at OCPSF facilities, are subject to
tKe OCPSF regulation. The reasoning for this distinction was that the
technical and economic data base for the regulation encompassed such opera-
tions as they existed in conjunction with commercial facilities. However,
wastewater from research and development operations conducted in conjunction
with commercial manufacturing operations would be similar to characteristic to
wastewater generated by the OCPSF manufacturing operations, and therefore,
will also be regulated.
Finally, pretreatment standards set forth in the OCPSF regulation for
cyanide and for the two metal pollutants limited, lead and zinc, apply to
cyanide-bearing and metal-bearing process wastewaters only, respectively.
Product/processes considered by EPA to contain cyanide-bearing and/or metal-
bearing process wastewaters are listed in Appendix A of the regulation. In
addition, control authorities may designate certain other wastestreams as
being cyanide-bearing so long as certain criteria are met. Appendix B of the
regulation provides a list of product/processes which contain organic com-
pounds that bind metals into stable complexes not amenable to the treatment
used as the basis for the OCPSF metal standards.

Hass-based standards -
(a) Any existing or new source subject to this subpart which introduces
pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR Part
403 and achieve discharges not exceeding the quantity (mass) determined by
multiplying the process wastewater flow subject to this subpart times the
concentration listed above.
(b) In the case of lead, zinc and total cyanide the discharge quantity
(mass) shall be determined by multiplying the concentrations listed above for
the metal pollutants times the flow from metal-bearing waste streams and times
the flow from the cyanide-bearing waste streams for total cyanide, respec-
tively. The metal-bearing waste streams and cyanide-bearing waste streams are
defined as those waste streams listed in Appendix A, plus any additional
process wastewater streams identified by the control authority on a case-by-
case basis as metal or cyanide bearing based upon a determination-
(1) That such streams contain significant amounts of the pollutants
identified above and
(2) That the combination of such streams, prior to treatment, with
the Appendix A waste streams will result in substantial reduction of these
pollutants.
This determination must be based upon a review of relevant engineering,
production, and sampling and analysis information.

PESTICIDE CHEMICALS
CATEGORICAL PRETREATHENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides firms subject to the Pesticide Chemicals
categorical standards and Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTVs) with the
information necessary to determine compliance with these standards. The
Pesticide Chemicals standards were established by the Environmental Protection
Agency under Part 455 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR
455). In response to the Eleventh Circuit Court o£ Appeals' remand on July
25, 1986 of the final regulation originally promulgated on October 4, 1965,
the EPA removed the regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations on
December 15, 1986. The EPA's removal of the regulation was retroactive. The
effective date of the withdrawal is July 25, 1986, the date of the court's
remand order.
Although the regulation for this category is no longer effective, the
summary of the regulations has not been revised but has been retained for
reference by Interested persons. EPA intends to review the regulation and
standards previously promulgated and to establish new effluent guidelines and
standards for the pesticide industry. The standards contained in this summary
are not intended to provide an indication of standards to be promulgated in
the future. For specific information, refer to the Fed.eral Register citations
given belov.

PESTICIDE CHEMICALS (cont.)
pollutants regulated and the appropriate technologies developed to treat those
pollutants. The major factors examined during the process of identifying
subcategories included the raw materials used; products manufactured; produc-
tion processes employed; plant size, location, age, and energy requirements;
treatment costs; solid waste generation; and wastewater characteristics and
treatability. Pesticide chemical manufacturers affected by these regulations
are found in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Major Group 28,
Chemicals and Allied Products. The subcategories and their corresponding SIC
Codes are as follows:
Subcategory SIC Code
A. Organic Pesticide Chemicals Manufacturing 2869
B. Metallo-Organic Pesticide Chemicals
Manufacturing 2869
C. Pesticide Chemical Formulating and Packaging 2879
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by the Pesticide Chemicals category consist of
34 toxic pollutants, 89 nonconventional active ingredient pesticide pollutants
and a class of nonconventional pollutants designated metallo-organics.
Metallo-organic pollutants are considered organic pesticide active ingredients
that incorporate one or more atoms of mercury, copper, cadmium, or arsenic
within their molecular structure. Nonconventional (active ingredient) pesti-
cide pollutants are defined in 40 CFR 455.10(g) as all pesticide active
ingredients that are not toxic pollutants under 40 CFR 401.15 or conventional
pollutants under 401.16 and for which pretreatment standards are established
in this category.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING AND NEW SOURCES (PSES AND PSNS)
PSES and PSNS for the three subcategories are summarized in the following
pages. Pretreatment Standards for Existing Sources (PSES) have been promul-
gated for all three subcategories. Pretreatment Standards for New Sources
(PSNS) have not been promulgated for the Metallo-Organic Pesticide Chemicals
Manufacturing Subcategory (Subcategory B) because of the small number of
industrial sources and the determination made by EPA that further analysis is
necessary to provide an appropriate technological basis for new source
standards.

SUBCATEGORIES
The Petroleum Refining industrial category is divided into five subcate-
gories: Topping, Cracking, Petrochemical, Lube, and Integrated Facilities.
These subcategories generally represent a spectrum of progressively integrated
petroleum refining facilities, i.e., a scale of fevest to most unit processes.
The Topping Subcategory includes discharges from any facility that
produces petroleum products by topping and catalytic reforming, regardless of
vhether the facility uses any additional process. These standards do not
apply to facilities that have thermal processes (coking, vis-breaking, etc.)
or catalytic cracking.
The Cracking Subcategory includes all discharges from facilities that

PETROLEUM REFINING (cont.)
The Petrochemical Subcategory applies to all discharges from facilities
that produce petroleum products by topping, cracking, and petrochemical
operations, regardless of whether the facility uses any additional processes.
The standards for this subcategory do not apply to facilities in the Lube and
Integrated Facilities subcategories.
The Lube Subcategory applies to all discharges from any facility that
produces petroleum products by cracking, topping, and lube oil manufacturing
processes, regardless of whether the facility uses any additional processes.
The standards for this subcategory do not apply to facilities in the Petro-
chemical and Integrated Facilities subcategories.
The Integrated Facilities Subcategory applies to all discharges resulting
from any facility that produces petroleum products by topping, cracking, lube
oil manufacturing, and petrochemical operations, regardless of whether the
facility uses any additional processes.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated under the PSES for all five subcategories of the
Petroleum Refining category are oil and grease and ammonia (as N). The PSNS
set limits for oil and grease, ammonia (as N), and total chromium for all five
subcategories.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SOURCES (PSES)
The PSES for the Petroleum Refining category are summarized below. These
standards are identical for all five industry subcategories.
For ammonia (as N), where the discharge to the POTW consists solely of
sour waters, the owner or operator has the option of complying with the limit
shown above or with the daily maximum mass limit for ammonia. The ammonia
mass-based limit is different for each of the five industry subcategories.
The procedure for determining the daily maximum mass limits for ammonia is
described in a subsequent section of this summary.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR NEW SOURCES (PSNS)
The PSNS for the Petroleum Refining category are summarized below. These
standards are identical for all five industry subcategories.

*This standard is applied to the cooling tower discharge portion of the total
refinery wastewater flow to the POTV. It is multiplied by the total refinery
flow to the POTV and by the ratio of cooling tower discharge flow to the
total refinery flow.
For ammonia (as N), where the discharge to the POTV consists solely of
sour waters, the owner or operator has the option of complying with the limit
shown above or with the daily maximum mass limit for ammonia described in the
following section.
DETERMINING THE DAILY MAXIMUM MASS LIMITATION FOR AMMONIA
When a petroleum refinery's discharge to the POTV consists solely of sour
waters, the owner or operator has the option of complying with the ammonia
(as N) concentration limit for any one day, or with the daily maximum mass
limit for ammonia.
To calculate the daily maximum mass limit for ammonia from either an
existing or new source, three factors must be multiplied together. The
unadjusted ammonia effluent limit for the subcategory must be multiplied by a
facility size factor and by a facility process factor. The derivation of each
of these three factors is described below.
The unadjusted ammonia effluent limit, measured in kilograms per 1,000
cubic meters of feedstock, can be obtained for each of the five industry
subcategories from the following table.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing category originally contained five
subcategories. However, Subcategory E (Research) was excluded from pretreat-
ment standards since pharmaceutical research does not involve production or
generate wastewater in appreciable quantities on a regular basis. The remain-
ing subcategories are:
o Subcategory A - Fermentation Products
o Subcategory B - Extraction Products
o Subcategory C - Chemical Synthesis Products
o Subcategory D - Mixing/Compounding and Formulation
The pharmaceutical products, processes, and activities regulated under these
subcategories include:
-272-
-------
PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING (cont.)
• Biological products (SIC 2831)
• Medicinal chemicals and botanical product (SIC 2833)
• Pharmaceutical products (SIC 2834)
• All fermentation, biological, and natural extraction, chemical synthe-
sis, and formulation products that are considered as pharmaceutical^
active ingredients by the FDA, but are not classified under SIC 2831,
2833, or 2834
• Cosmetic preparations that function as a skin treatment (SIC 2844)
• Products with multiple end uses that are attributable to pharmaceuti-
cal manufacturing as a final pharmaceutical product, component of a
pharmaceutical formulation, or pharmaceutical intermediate.
Products that have non-pharmaceutical uses may also be covered by the pharma-
ceutical standard if the products are primarily intended for use as pharmaceu-
ticals.
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The only pollutant regulated by the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing cate-
gorical standards is cyanide. Industries must conduct self-monitoring for
cyanide after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other streams unless
the cyanide standard is adjusted. The basis for adjustment is the dilution
ratio of the cyanide contaminated vastestream flow to the total process
wastewater. Self-monitoring is to be conducted on effluent from the cyanide
destruction unit only if all cyanide-bearing wastewater is treated by the
unit. If not, self-monitoring must be conducted at the final effluent point
based on the adjusted cyanide standard. The control authority may exempt
indirect dischargers from the monitoring requirements if the dischargers
certify to the control authority that they are not using or generating
cyanide.
The following pretreatment standards are applicable to both existing and
new sources in all subcategories.

SUBCATEGORIES
The Porcelain Enameling category is composed of firms that apply a
thermally-fused glass-like coating to a metal basis material. For the pur-
poses of this regulation, the industry has been divided into four subcate-
gories: Steelr Basis Material, Cast Iron Basis Material, Aluminum Basis
Material, and Copper Basis Material.
EPA decided against regulating porcelain enameling of precious metals.
The pieces enameled are typically quite small (e.g., dental crowns), and the
enameling is conducted by small indirect dischargers (e.g., dental labora-
tories) that would be exempt from categorical standards. EPA has also
exempted facilities that prepare or coat less than 1,600 m of material a day
and discharge less than 60,000 liters (15,600 gallons) of wastewater daily.

REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The Porcelain Enameling standards provide concentration-based and
alternative mass-based limits for chromium, lead, nickel, and zinc.
Facilities that meet both of the following conditions may be exempt from the
chromium monitoring requirements:
(1) The first wastewater sample collected and analyzed in each calendar
year contains less than 0.08 mg/1 of chromium.
(2) The owner or operator of the facility certifies in writing to the
Control Authority that chromium is not present in the facility's raw
materials or process chemicals used at the facility and will not be
used in its operations.
For operations regulated under Subcategory B, no process wastewater is
allowed to be discharged from metal preparation processes.

PULP AND PAPER (cont.)
REGULATED POLLUTANTS
The pollutants regulated by the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard categorical
standards are pentachlorophenol, trlchlorophenol, and zinc. Standards for
pentachlorophenol and trlchlorophenol have been promulgated Cor 24 of the 25
subcategories (standards for subcategory L are currently reserved), and apply
to all new or existing sources in these subcategories that use chlorophenolic-
containing biocides. Control authorities may exempt facilities not using
chlorophenolic biocides from pentachlorophenol and trichlorophenol monitoring
requirements if the facilities certify that they do not use chlorophenolic
biocides.
Standards for zinc have been issued for Subcategories M, N, and 0, and
apply to all nev or existing sources within these subcategories that use zinc
hydrosulfite as a bleaching agent. Control authorities may exempt groundvood
facilities from zinc monitoring requirements if the facilities certify that
they do not use zinc hydrosulfite.
Concentration-based limits are expressed in milligrams per liter and must
be kilogallon of wastewater discharged per ton of product. Alternative mass-
based limits are expressed in kilograms discharged per kiloton of product.

CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS FOR INDIRECT DISCHARGERS
This summary provides industries in the Steam Electric category and Publicly Ovnec
Treatment Works (POTVs) with the information necessary to
determine compliance with pretreatment standards for this industrial category.
The Steam Electric standards were established by the Environmental Protection
Agency in Part 423 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR
423). This summary is not intended to substitute for the regulations pub-
lished in the Code of Federal Regulations or the Federal Register. For
specific information, refer to the Federal Register citations given below.

SUBCATEGORIES AND SIC CODES
The Steam Electric category [Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
Major Group 4900] is regulated as a single subcategory. The preamble to the
Final Rule refers specifically to SIC codes 4911, Electric Services, and 4931,
Electric and Other Services Combined.
Seven types of wastestreams are regulated: (1) once-through cooling
water; (2) cooling tower blowdown; (3) fly ash transport water; (4) bottom ash
transport water; (5) chemical metal cleaning waste; (6) low volume waste; and
(7) coal pile runoff. EPA has reserved four types of wastestreams for future
rulemaking: (1) non-chemical metal cleaning waste; (2) flue gas desulfuri-
zation waste; (3) runoff from materials storage and construction areas, other
than coal storage; and (4) thermal discharges.

The following standards apply to both existing and new sources unless
otherwise indicated.
ALL VASTESTREAMS
The discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds is prohibited.
CHEMICAL METAL CLEANING WASTESTREAM
Pollutant Maximum for Any One Day (mg/1)
Copper, total 1.0
COOLING TOWER BLOWDQWN

FLY ASH TRANSPORT WATER
New Sources are prohibited from discharging wastewater pollutants from
fly ash transport water.
*At the discretion of the Control Authority, compliance with the limits on the
other priority pollutants may be determined by engineering calculations
rather than monitoring. The calculations must demonstrate that the regulated
pollutants cannot be detected in the final discharge by the analytical
methods set forth by EPA in 40 CFR 136.
