§ 401.12 Law authorizing establish-
ment of effluent limitations guide-
lines for existing sources, standards
of performance for new sources and
pretreatment standards of new and
existing sources.
(a) Section 301(a) of the Act provides
that ‘‘except as in compliance with this
section and sections 302, 306, 307, 318,
402 and 404 of this Act, the discharge of

treatment works, which require the ap-
plication of the best available tech-
nology economically achievable which
will result in reasonable further
progress toward the national goal of
eliminating the discharge of all pollut-
ants, as determined in accordance with
regulations issued by the Adminis-
trator pursuant to section 304(b)(2) of
the Act.
(c) Section 304(b) of the Act requires
the Administrator to publish regula-
tions providing guidelines for effluent
limitations setting forth the degree of
effluent reduction attainable through
the application of the best practicable
control technology currently available
and the degree of effluent reduction at-
tainable through the application of the
best control measures and practices
achievable including treatment tech-
niques, process and procedure innova-
tions, operating methods and other al-
ternatives.
(d) Section 304(c) of the Act requires
the Administrator, after consultation
with appropriate Federal and State
agencies and other interested persons
to issue information on the process,
procedures, or operating methods
which result in the elimination or re-
duction of the discharge of pollutants
to implement standards of performance
under section 306 of the Act.
(e) Section 306(b)(1)(B) of the Act re-
quires the Administrator, after a cat-
egory of sources is included in a list
published pursuant to section
306(b)(1)(A) of the Act, to propose regu-
lations establishing Federal standards
of performances for new sources within
such category. Standards of perform-
ance are to provide for the control of
the discharge of pollutants which re-
flect the greatest degree of effluent re-
duction which the Administrator deter-
mines to be achievable through appli-
cation of the best available dem-
onstrated control technology, proc-
esses, operating methods, or other al-
ternatives, including, where prac-
ticable, a standard permitting no dis-
charge of pollutants.
(f) Section 307(b) provides that the
Administrator shall establish
pretreatment standards which shall
prevent the discharge of any pollutant
into publicly owned treatment works
which pollutant interferes with, passes

ronmental Protection Agency or this
person’s delegated representative.
(g) The term Indirect Discharge or Dis-
charge means the introduction of pol-
lutants into a POTW from any non-do-
mestic source regulated under section
307(b), (c) or (d) of the Act.
(h) The term Industrial User or User
means a source of Indirect Discharge.
(i) The term Interference means a Dis-
charge which, alone or in conjunction
with a discharge or discharges from
other sources, both:
(1) Inhibits or disrupts the POTW, its
treatment processes or operations, or
its sludge processes, use or disposal;
and
(2) Therefore is a cause of a violation
of any requirement of the POTW’s
NPDES permit (including an increase
in the magnitude or duration of a vio-
lation) or of the prevention of sewage
sludge use or disposal in compliance
with the following statutory provisions
and regulations or permits issued
thereunder (or more stringent State or
local regulations): Section 405 of the
Clean Water Act, the Solid Waste Dis-
posal Act (SWDA) (including title II,
more commonly referred to as the Re-
source Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), and including State regula-
tions contained in any State sludge
management plan prepared pursuant to
subtitle D of the SWDA), the Clean Air
Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act,
and the Marine Protection, Research
and Sanctuaries Act.
(j) The term National Pretreatment
Standard, Pretreatment Standard, or
Standard means any regulation con-
taining pollutant discharge limits pro-
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00011
§ 403.3
mulgated by the EPA in accordance
with section 307 (b) and (c) of the Act,
which applies to Industrial Users. This
term includes prohibitive discharge
limits established pursuant to § 403.5.
(k)(1) The term New Source means
any building, structure, facility or in-
stallation from which there is or may
be a Discharge of pollutants, the con-
struction of which commenced after
the publication of proposed
Pretreatment Standards under section
307(c) of the Act which will be applica-
ble to such source if such Standards
are thereafter promulgated in accord-
ance with that section, provided that:
(i) The building, structure, facility or
installation is constructed at a site at
which no other source is located; or
(ii) The building, structure, facility
or installation totally replaces the
process or production equipment that
causes the discharge of pollutants at
an existing source; or
(iii) The production or wastewater
generating processes of the building,
structure, facility or installation are
substantially independent of an exist-
ing source at the same site. In deter-
mining whether these are substantially
independent, factors such as the extent
to which the new facility is integrated
with the existing plant, and the extent
to which the new facility is engaged in
the same general type of activity as
the existing source should be consid-
ered.
(2) Construction on a site at which an
existing source is located results in a
modification rather than a new source
if the construction does not create a
new building, structure, facility or in-
stallation meeting the criteria of para-
graphs (k)(1)(ii), or (k)(1)(iii) of this
section but otherwise alters, replaces,
or adds to existing process or produc-
tion equipment.
(3) Construction of a new source as
defined under this paragraph has com-
menced if the owner or operator has:
(i) Begun, or caused to begin as part
of a continuous onsite construction

placement, assembly, or installation of
new source facilities or equipment; or
(ii) Entered into a binding contrac-
tual obligation for the purchase of fa-
cilities or equipment which are in-
tended to be used in its operation with-
in a reasonable time. Options to pur-
chase or contracts which can be termi-
nated or modified without substantial
loss, and contracts for feasibility, engi-
neering, and design studies do not con-
stitute a contractual obligation under
this paragraph.
(l) The terms NPDES Permit or Permit
means a permit issued to a POTW pur-
suant to section 402 of the Act.
(m) The term NPDES State means a
State (as defined in 40 CFR 122.2) or
Interstate water pollution control
agency with an NPDES permit pro-
gram approved pursuant to section
402(b) of the Act.
(n) The term Pass Through means a
Discharge which exits the POTW into
waters of the United States in quan-
tities or concentrations which, alone or
in conjunction with a discharge or dis-
charges from other sources, is a cause
of a violation of any requirement of the
POTW’s NPDES permit (including an
increase in the magnitude or duration
of a violation).
(o) The term Publicly Owned Treat-
ment Works or POTW means a treat-
ment works as defined by section 212 of
the Act, which is owned by a State or
municipality (as defined by section
502(4) of the Act). This definition in-
cludes any devices and systems used in
the storage, treatment, recycling and
reclamation of municipal sewage or in-
dustrial wastes of a liquid nature. It
also includes sewers, pipes and other
conveyances only if they convey waste-
water to a POTW Treatment Plant.
The term also means the municipality
as defined in section 502(4) of the Act,
which has jurisdiction over the Indi-
rect Discharges to and the discharges
from such a treatment works.
(p) The term POTW Treatment Plant
means that portion of the POTW which
is designed to provide treatment (in-
cluding recycling and reclamation) of
municipal sewage and industrial waste.
(q) The term Pretreatment means the
reduction of the amount of pollutants,
the elimination of pollutants, or the al-
teration of the nature of pollutant

properties in wastewater prior to or in
lieu of discharging or otherwise intro-
ducing such pollutants into a POTW.
The reduction or alteration may be ob-
tained by physical, chemical or biologi-
cal processes, process changes or by
other means, except as prohibited by
§ 403.6(d). Appropriate pretreatment
technology includes control equip-
ment, such as equalization tanks or fa-
cilities, for protection against surges
or slug loadings that might interfere
with or otherwise be incompatible with
the POTW. However, where wastewater
from a regulated process is mixed in an
equalization facility with unregulated
wastewater or with wastewater from
another regulated process, the effluent
from the equalization facility must
meet an adjusted pretreatment limit
calculated in accordance with § 403.6(e).
(r) The term Pretreatment requirements
means any substantive or procedural
requirement related to Pretreatment,
other than a National Pretreatment
Standard, imposed on an Industrial
User.
(s) The term Regional Administrator
means the appropriate EPA Regional
Administrator.
(t) Significant Industrial User. (1) Ex-
cept as provided in paragraph (t)(2) of
this section, the term Significant In-
dustrial User means:
(i) All industrial users subject to Cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standards under
40 CFR 403.6 and 40 CFR chapter I, sub-
chapter N; and
(ii) Any other industrial user that:
discharges an average of 25,000 gallons
per day or more of process wastewater
to the POTW (excluding sanitary, non-
contact cooling and boiler blowdown
wastewater); contributes a process
wastestream which makes up 5 percent
or more of the average dry weather hy-
draulic or organic capacity of the
POTW treatment plant; or is des-
ignated as such by the Control Author-
ity as defined in 40 CFR 403.12(a) on the
basis that the industrial user has a rea-
sonable potential for adversely affect-
ing the POTW’s operation or for vio-
lating any pretreatment standard or
requirement (in accordance with 40
CFR 403.8(f)(6)).
(2) Upon a finding that an industrial
user meeting the criteria in paragraph
12
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
(t)(1)(ii) of this section has no reason-
able potential for adversely affecting
the POTW’s operation or for violating
any pretreatment standard or require-
ment, the Control Authority (as de-
fined in 40 CFR 403.12(a)) may at any
time, on its own initiative or in re-
sponse to a petition received from an
industrial user or POTW, and in ac-
cordance with 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), deter-
mine that such industrial user is not a
significant industrial user.
(u) The term Submission means:
(1) A request by a POTW for approval
of a Pretreatment Program to the EPA
or a Director;
(2) A request by a POTW to the EPA
or a Director for authority to revise
the discharge limits in categorical
Pretreatment Standards to reflect
POTW pollutant removals; or
(3) A request to the EPA by an
NPDES State for approval of its State
pretreatment program.

§ 403.4 State or local law.
Nothing in this regulation is in-
tended to affect any Pretreatment Re-
quirements, including any standards or
prohibitions, established by State or
local law as long as the State or local
requirements are not less stringent
than any set forth in National
Pretreatment Standards, or any other
requirements or prohibitions estab-
lished under the Act or this regulation.
States with an NPDES permit program
approved in accordance with section
402 (b) and (c) of the Act, or States re-
questing NPDES programs, are respon-
sible for developing a State
pretreatment program in accordance
with § 403.10 of this regulation.
§ 403.5 National pretreatment stand-
ards: Prohibited discharges.
(a)(1) General prohibitions. A User may
not introduce into a POTW any pollut-
ant(s) which cause Pass Through or In-
terference. These general prohibitions
and the specific prohibitions in para-
graph (b) of this section apply to each
User introducing pollutants into a
POTW whether or not the User is sub-

§ 403.5
ject to other National Pretreatment
Standards or any national, State, or
local Pretreatment Requirements.
(2) Affirmative Defenses. A User shall
have an affirmative defense in any ac-
tion brought against it alleging a vio-
lation of the general prohibitions es-
tablished in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section and the specific prohibitions in
paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6),
and (b)(7) of this section where the
User can demonstrate that:
(i) It did not know or have reason to
know that its Discharge, alone or in
conjunction with a discharge or dis-
charges from other sources, would
cause Pass Through or Interference;
and
(ii)(A) A local limit designed to pre-
vent Pass Through and/or Interference,
as the case may be, was developed in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this
section for each pollutant in the User’s
Discharge that caused Pass Through or
Interference, and the User was in com-
pliance with each such local limit di-
rectly prior to and during the Pass
Through or Interference; or
(B) If a local limit designed to pre-
vent Pass Through and/or Interference,
as the case may be, has not been devel-
oped in accordance with paragraph (c)
of this section for the pollutant(s) that
caused the Pass Through or Inter-
ference, the User’s Discharge directly
prior to and during the Pass Through
or Interference did not change substan-
tially in nature or constituents from
the User’s prior discharge activity
when the POTW was regularly in com-
pliance with the POTW’s NPDES per-
mit requirements and, in the case of
Interference, applicable requirements
for sewage sludge use or disposal.
(b) Specific prohibitions. In addition,
the following pollutants shall not be
introduced into a POTW:
(1) Pollutants which create a fire or
explosion hazard in the POTW, includ-
ing, but not limited to, wastestreams
with a closed cup flashpoint of less
than 140 degrees Farenheit or 60 de-
grees Centigrade using the test meth-
ods specified in 40 CFR 261.21.
(2) Pollutants which will cause corro-
sive structural damage to the POTW,
but in no case Discharges with pH
Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.6
lower than 5.0, unless the works is spe-
cifically designed to accommodate
such Discharges;
(3) Solid or viscous pollutants in
amounts which will cause obstruction
to the flow in the POTW resulting in
Interference;
(4) Any pollutant, including oxygen
demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) re-
leased in a Discharge at a flow rate
and/or pollutant concentration which
will cause Interference with the POTW.
(5) Heat in amounts which will in-
hibit biological activity in the POTW
resulting in Interference, but in no
case heat in such quantities that the
temperature at the POTW Treatment
Plant exceeds 40 °C (104 °F) unless the
Approval Authority, upon request of
the POTW, approves alternate tem-
perature limits.
(6) Petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable
cutting oil, or products of mineral oil
origin in amounts that will cause in-
terference or pass through;
(7) Pollutants which result in the
presence of toxic gases, vapors, or
fumes within the POTW in a quantity
that may cause acute worker health
and safety problems;
(8) Any trucked or hauled pollutants,
except at discharge points designated
by the POTW.
(c) When specific limits must be devel-
oped by POTW. (1) Each POTW devel-
oping a POTW Pretreatment Program
pursuant to § 403.8 shall develop and en-
force specific limits to implement the
prohibitions listed in paragraphs (a)(1)
and (b) of this section. Each POTW
with an approved pretreatment pro-
gram shall continue to develop these
limits as necessary and effectively en-
force such limits.
(2) All other POTW’s shall, in cases
where pollutants contributed by
User(s) result in Interference or Pass-
Through, and such violation is likely
to recur, develop and enforce specific
effluent limits for Industrial User(s),
and all other users, as appropriate,
which, together with appropriate
changes in the POTW Treatment
Plant’s facilities or operation, are nec-
essary to ensure renewed and contin-
ued compliance with the POTW’s
NPDES permit or sludge use or dis-
posal practices.

(3) Specific effluent limits shall not
be developed and enforced without in-
dividual notice to persons or groups
who have requested such notice and an
opportunity to respond.
(d) Local limits. Where specific prohi-
bitions or limits on pollutants or pol-
lutant parameters are developed by a
POTW in accordance with paragraph
(c) above, such limits shall be deemed
Pretreatment Standards for the pur-
poses of section 307(d) of the Act.
(e) EPA enforcement actions under
section 309(f) of the Clean Water Act.
If, within 30 days after notice of an
Interference or Pass Through violation
has been sent by EPA to the POTW,
and to persons or groups who have re-
quested such notice, the POTW fails to
commence appropriate enforcement ac-
tion to correct the violation, EPA may
take appropriate enforcement action
under the authority provided in section
309(f) of the Clean Water Act.

§ 403.6 National pretreatment stand-
ards: Categorical standards.
National pretreatment standards
specifying quantities or concentrations
of pollutants or pollutant properties
which may be discharged to a POTW by
existing or new industrial users in spe-
cific industrial subcategories will be
established as separate regulations
under the appropriate subpart of 40
CFR chapter I, subchapter N. These
standards, unless specifically noted
otherwise, shall be in addition to all
applicable pretreatment standards and
requirements set forth in this part.
(a) Category Determination Request—
(1) Application Deadline. Within 60 days
after the effective date of a
Pretreatment Standard for a sub-
category under which an Industrial
User may be included, the Industrial
User or POTW may request that the
Water Management Division Director
or Director, as appropriate, provide
written certification on whether the
Industrial User falls within that par-
ticular subcategory. If an existing In-
dustrial User adds or changes a process
or operation which may be included in
a subcategory, the existing Industrial
14
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
User must request this certification
prior to commencing discharge from
the added or changed processes or oper-
ation. A New Source must request this
certification prior to commencing dis-
charge. Where a request for certifi-
cation is submitted by a POTW, the
POTW shall notify any affected Indus-
trial User of such submission. The In-
dustrial User may provide written com-
ments on the POTW submission to the
Water Management Division Director
or Director, as appropriate, within 30
days of notification.
(2) Contents of Application. Each re-
quest shall contain a statement:
(i) Describing which subcategories
might be applicable; and
(ii) Citing evidence and reasons why
a particular subcategory is applicable
and why others are not applicable. Any
person signing the application state-
ment submitted pursuant to this sec-
tion shall make the following certifi-
cation:
I certify under penalty of law that this
document and all attachments were prepared
under my direction or supervision in accord-
ance with a system designed to assure that
qualified personnel properly gather and
evaluate the information submitted. Based
on my inquiry of the person or persons who
manage the system, or those persons directly
responsible for gathering the information,
the information submitted is, to the best of
my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and
complete. I am aware that there are signifi-
cant penalties for submitting false informa-
tion, including the possibility of fine and im-
prisonment for knowing violations.
(3) Deficient requests. The Water Man-
agement Division Director or Director
will only act on written requests for
determinations that contain all of the
information required. Persons who
have made incomplete submissions will
be notified by the Water Management
Division Director or Director that
their requests are deficient and, unless
the time period is extended, will be
given 30 days to correct the deficiency.
If the deficiency is not corrected with-
in 30 days or within an extended period
allowed by the Water Management Di-
vision Director or the Director, the re-
quest for a determination shall be de-
nied.
(4) Final decision. (i) When the Water
Management Division Director or Di-
rector receives a submittal he or she
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00015
§ 403.6
will, after determining that it contains
all of the information required by para-
graph (2) of this section, consider the
submission, any additional evidence
that may have been requested, and any
other available information relevant to
the request. The Water Management
Division Director or Director will then
make a written determination of the
applicable subcategory and state the
reasons for the determination.
(ii) Where the request is submitted to
the Director, the Director shall for-
ward the determination described in
this paragraph to the Water Manage-
ment Division Director who may make
a final determination. The Water Man-
agement Division Director may waive
receipt of these determinations. If the
Water Management Division Director
does not modify the Director’s decision
within 60 days after receipt thereof, or
if the Water Management Division Di-
rector waives receipt of the determina-
tion, the Director’s decision is final.
(iii) Where the request is submitted
by the Industrial User or POTW to the
Water Management Division Director
or where the Water Management Divi-
sion Director elects to modify the Di-
rector’s decision, the Water Manage-
ment Division Director’s decision will
be final.
(iv) The Water Management Division
Director or Director, as appropriate,
shall send a copy of the determination
to the affected Industrial User and the
POTW. Where the final determination
is made by the Water Management Di-
vision Director, he or she shall send a
copy of the determination to the Direc-
tor.
(5) Requests for hearing and/or legal de-
cision. Within 30 days following the
date of receipt of notice of the final de-
termination as provided for by para-
graph (a)(4)(iv) of this section, the Re-
quester may submit a petition to re-
consider or contest the decision to the
Regional Administrator who shall act
on such petition expeditiously and
state the reasons for his or her deter-
mination in writing.
(b) Deadline for Compliance with Cat-
egorical Standards. Compliance by exist-
ing sources with categorical
Pretreatment Standards shall be with-
in 3 years of the date the Standard is
effective unless a shorter compliance
15

 § 403.6
time is specified in the appropriate
subpart of 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter
N. Direct dischargers with NPDES per-
mits modified or reissued to provide a
variance pursuant to section 301(i)(2) of
the Act shall be required to meet com-
pliance dates set in any applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard. Exist-
ing sources which become Industrial
Users subsequent to promulgation of
an applicable categorical Pretreatment
Standard shall be considered existing
Industrial Users except where such
sources meet the definition of a New
Source as defined in § 403.3(k). New
Sources shall install and have in oper-
ating condition, and shall ‘‘start-up’’
all pollution control equipment re-
quired to meet applicable
Pretreatment Standards before begin-
ning to Discharge. Within the shortest
feasible time (not to exceed 90 days),
New Sources must meet all applicable
Pretreatment Standards.
(c)(1) Concentration and mass limits.
Pollutant discharge limits in categor-
ical Pretreatment Standards will be
expressed either as concentration or
mass limits. Wherever possible, where
concentration limits are specified in
standards, equivalent mass limits will
be provided so that local, State or Fed-
eral authorities responsible for en-
forcement may use either concentra-
tion or mass limits. Limits in categor-
ical Pretreatment Standards shall
apply to the effluent of the process reg-
ulated by the Standard, or as otherwise
specified by the standard.
(2) When the limits in a categorical
Pretreatment Standard are expressed
only in terms of mass of pollutant per
unit of production, the Control Author-
ity may convert the limits to equiva-
lent limitations expressed either as
mass of pollutant discharged per day of
effluent concentration for purposes of
calculating effluent limitations appli-
cable to individual Industrial Users.
(3) A Control Authority calculating
equivalent mass-per-day limitations
under paragraph (c)(2) of this section
shall calculate such limitations by
multiplying the limits in the Standard
by the Industrial User’s average rate of
production. This average rate of pro-
duction shall be based not upon the de-
signed production capacity but rather
upon a reasonable measure of the In-
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00016
40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
dustrial User’s actual long-term daily
production, such as the average daily
production during a representative
year. For new sources, actual produc-
tion shall be estimated using projected
production.
(4) A Control Authority calculating
equivalent concentration limitations
under paragraph (c)(2) of this section
shall calculate such limitations by di-
viding the mass limitations derived
under paragraph (c)(3) of this section
by the average daily flow rate of the
Industrial User’s regulated process
wastewater. This average daily flow
rate shall be based upon a reasonable
measure of the Industrial User’s actual
long-term average flow rate, such as
the average daily flow rate during the
representative year.
(5) Equivalent limitations calculated
in accordance with paragraphs (c)(3)
and (c)(4) of this section shall be
deemed Pretreatment Standards for
the purposes of section 307(d) of the Act
and this part. Industrial Users will be
required to comply with the equivalent
limitations in lieu of the promulgated
categorical standards from which the
equivalent limitations were derived.
(6) Many categorical pretreatment
standards specify one limit for calcu-
lating maximum daily discharge limi-
tations and a second limit for calcu-
lating maximum monthly average, or
4-day average, limitations. Where such
Standards are being applied, the same
production of flow figure shall be used
in calculating both types of equivalent
limitations.
(7) Any Industrial User operating
under a control mechanism incor-
porating equivalent mass or concentra-
tion limits calculated from a produc-
tion based standard shall notify the
Control Authority within two (2) busi-
ness days after the User has a reason-
able basis to know that the production
level will significantly change within
the next calendar month. Any User not
notifying the Control Authority of
such anticipated change will be re-
quired to meet the mass or concentra-
tion limits in its control mechanism
that were based on the original esti-
mate of the long term average produc-
tion rate.

(d) Dilution Prohibited as Substitute for
Treatment. Except where expressly au-
thorized to do so by an applicable
Pretreatment Standard or Require-
ment, no Industrial User shall ever in-
crease the use of process water, or in
any other way attempt to dilute a dis-
charge as a partial or complete sub-
stitute for adequate treatment to
achieve compliance with a  N
Pretreatment Standard or Require-
ment. The Control Authority (as de-
fined in § 403.12(a)) may impose mass
limitations on Industrial Users which
are using dilution to meet applicable
Pretreatment Standards or Require-
ments, or in other cases where the im-
position of mass limitations is appro-
priate.
(e) Combined wastestream formula.
Where process effluent is mixed prior
to treatment with wastewaters other
than those generated by the regulated
process, fixed alternative discharge
limits may be derived by the Control
Authority, as defined in § 403.12(a), or
by the Industrial User with the written
concurrence of the Control Authority.
These alternative limits shall be ap-
plied to the mixed effluent. When de-
riving alternative categorical limits,
the Control Authority or Industrial
User shall calculate both an alter-
native daily maximum value using the
daily maximum value(s) specified in
the appropriate categorical
Pretreatment Standard(s) and an alter-
native consecutive sampling day aver-
age value using the monthly average
value(s) specified in the appropriate
categorical Pretreatment Standard(s).
The Industrial User shall comply with
the alternative daily maximum and
monthly average limits fixed by the
Control Authority until the Control
Authority modifies the limits or ap-
proves an Industrial User modification
request. Modification is authorized
whenever there is a material or signifi-
cant change in the values used in the
calculation to fix alternative limits for
the regulated pollutant. An Industrial
User must immediately report any
such material or significant change to
the Control Authority. Where appro-
priate new alternative categorical lim-
its shall be calculated within 30 days.
(1) Alternative limit calculation. For
purposes of these formulas, the ‘‘aver-

measure of the average daily flow for a
30-day period. For new sources, flows
shall be estimated using projected val-
ues. The alternative limit for a speci-
fied pollutant will be derived by the

conducted in accordance with the re-
quirements of § 403.12(g).

Where a treated regulated process
wastestream is combined prior to
treatment with wastewaters other than
those generated by the regulated proc-
ess, the Industrial User may monitor
either the segregated process
wastestream or the combined
wastestream for the purpose of deter-
mining compliance with applicable
Pretreatment Standards. If the Indus-
trial User chooses to monitor the seg-
regated process wastestream, it shall
apply the applicable categorical
Pretreatment Standard. If the User
chooses to monitor the combined
wastestream, it shall apply an alter-
native discharge limit calculated using
the combined wastestream formula as
provided in this section. The Industrial
User may change monitoring points
only after receiving approval from the
Control Authority. The Control Au-
thority shall ensure that any change in
an Industrial User’s monitoring
point(s) will not allow the User to sub-
stitute dilution for adequate treatment
to achieve compliance with applicable
Standards.

§ 403.7 Removal credits.
(a) Introduction—(1) Definitions. For
the purpose of this section:
(i) Removal means a reduction in the
amount of a pollutant in the POTW’s
effluent or alteration of the nature of a
pollutant during treatment at the
POTW. The reduction or alteration can
be obtained by physical, chemical or
biological means and may be the result
of specifically designed POTW capabili-
ties or may be incidental to the oper-
ation of the treatment system. Re-
moval as used in this subpart shall not
mean dilution of a pollutant in the
POTW.
(ii) Sludge Requirements shall mean
the following statutory provisions and
regulations or permits issued there-
under (or more stringent State or local
regulations): Section 405 of the Clean
Water Act; the Solid Waste Disposal
Act (SWDA) (including title II more
commonly referred to as the Resource
Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA)
and State regulations contained in any
State sludge management plan pre-
pared pursuant to subtitle D of SWDA);
the Clean Air Act; the Toxic Sub-
stances Control Act; and the Marine
Protection, Research and Sanctuaries
Act.
(2) General. Any POTW receiving
wastes from an Industrial User to
which a categorical Pretreatment
Standard(s) applies may, at its discre-
tion and subject to the conditions of
this section, grant removal credits to
reflect removal by the POTW of pollut-
ants specified in the categorical
Pretreatment Standard(s). The POTW
may grant a removal credit equal to or,
at its discretion, less than its con-
sistent removal rate. Upon being grant-
ed a removal credit, each affected In-
dustrial User shall calculate its revised
discharge limits in accordance with
paragraph (a)(4) of this section. Re-
moval credits may only be given for in-
dicator or surrogate pollutants regu-
lated in a categorical Pretreatment
Standard if the categorical
Pretreatment Standard so specifies.
(3) Conditions for authorization to give
removal credits. A POTW is authorized
to give removal credits only if the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
(i) Application. The POTW applies for,
and receives, authorization from the
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00019
§ 403.7
Approval Authority to give a removal
credit in accordance with the require-
ments and procedures specified in para-
graph (e) of this section.
(ii) Consistent removal determination.
The POTW demonstrates and continues
to achieve consistent removal of the
pollutant in accordance with paragraph
(b) of this section.
(iii) POTW local pretreatment program.
The POTW has an approved
pretreatment program in accordance
with and to the extent required by part
403; provided, however, a POTW which
does not have an approved
pretreatment program may, pending
approval of such a program, condi-
tionally give credits as provided in
paragraph (d) of this section.
(iv) Sludge requirements. The granting
of removal credits will not cause the
POTW to violate the local, State and
Federal Sludge Requirements which
apply to the sludge management meth-
od chosen by the POTW. Alternatively,
the POTW can demonstrate to the Ap-
proval Authority that even though it is
not presently in compliance with appli-
cable Sludge Requirements, it will be
in compliance when the Industrial
User(s) to whom the removal credit
would apply is required to meet its cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard(s) as
modified by the removal credit. If
granting removal credits forces a
POTW to incur greater sludge manage-
ment costs than would be incurred in
the absence of granting removal cred-
its, the additional sludge management
costs will not be eligible for EPA grant
assistance. Removal credits may be
made available for the following pol-
lutants.
(A) For any pollutant listed in appen-
dix G section I of this part for the use
or disposal practice employed by the
POTW, when the requirements in 40
CFR part 503 for that practice are met.
(B) For any pollutant listed in appen-
dix G section II of this part for the use
or disposal practice employed by the
POTW when the concentration for a
pollutant listed in appendix G section
II of this part in the sewage sludge that
is used or disposed does not exceed the
concentration for the pollutant in ap-
pendix G section II of this part.
(C) For any pollutant in sewage
sludge when the POTW disposes all of
19
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.7
its sewage sludge in a municipal solid
waste landfill unit that meets the cri-
teria in 40 CFR part 258.
(v) NPDES permit limitations. The
granting of removal credits will not
cause a violation of the POTW’s permit
limitations or conditions. Alter-
natively, the POTW can demonstrate
to the Approval Authority that even
though it is not presently in compli-
ance with applicable limitations and
conditions in its NPDES permit, it will
be in compliance when the Industrial
User(s) to whom the removal credit
would apply is required to meet its cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard(s), as
modified by the removal credit provi-
sion.
(4) Calculation of revised discharge lim-
its. Revised discharge limits for a spe-
cific pollutant shall be derived by use
of the following formula:
x POTW is subjected for each pollutant
y=
1− r
where:
x=pollutant discharge limit specified in the
applicable categorical Pretreatment
Standard
r=removal credit for that pollutant as estab-
lished under paragraph (b) of this section
(percentage removal expressed as a propor-
tion, i.e., a number between 0 and 1)
y=revised discharge limit for the specified
pollutant (expressed in same units as x)
(b) Establishment of Removal Credits;
Demonstration of Consistent Removal—(1)
Definition of Consistent Removal. ‘‘Con-
sistent Removal’’ shall mean the aver-
age of the lowest 50 percent of the re-
moval measured according to para-
graph (b)(2) of this section. All sample
data obtained for the measured pollut-
ant during the time period prescribed
in paragraph (b)(2) of this section must
be reported and used in computing Con-
sistent Removal. If a substance is
measurable in the influent but not in
the effluent, the effluent level may be
assumed to be the limit of measure-
ment, and those data may be used by
the POTW at its discretion and subject
to approval by the Approval Authority.
If the substance is not measurable in
the influent, the date may not be used.
Where the number of samples with con-
centrations equal to or above the limit
of measurement is between 8 and 12,
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00020
40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
the average of the lowest 6 removals
shall be used. If there are less than 8
samples with concentrations equal to
or above the limit of measurement, the
Approval Authority may approve alter-
nate means for demonstrating Con-
sistent Removal. The term ‘‘measure-
ment’’ refers to the ability of the ana-
lytical method or protocol to quantify
as well as identify the presence of the
substance in question.
(2) Consistent Removal Data. Influent
and effluent operational data dem-
onstrating Consistent Removal or
other information, as provided for in
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, which
demonstrates Consistent Removal of
the pollutants for which discharge
limit revisions are proposed. This data
shall meet the following requirements:
(i) Representative Data; Seasonal. The
data shall be representative of yearly
and seasonal conditions to which the
for which a discharge limit revision is
proposed.
(ii) Representative Data; Quality and
Quantity. The data shall be representa-
tive of the quality and quantity of nor-
mal effluent and influent flow if such
data can be obtained. If such data are
unobtainable, alternate data or infor-
mation may be presented for approval
to demonstrate Consistent Removal as
provided for in paragraph (b)(1) of this
section.
(iii) Sampling Procedures: Composite.
(A) The influent and effluent oper-
ational data shall be obtained through
24-hour flow-proportional composite
samples. Sampling may be done manu-
ally or automatically, and discretely or
continuously. For discrete sampling, at
least 12 aliquots shall be composited.
Discrete sampling may be flow-propor-
tioned either by varying the time in-
terval between each aliquot or the vol-
ume of each aliquot. All composites
must be flow-proportional to each
stream flow at time of collection of in-
fluent aliquot or to the total influent
flow since the previous influent ali-
quot. Volatile pollutant aliquots must
be combined in the laboratory imme-
diately before analysis.
(B)(1) Twelve samples shall be taken
at approximately equal intervals
throughout one full year. Sampling
must be evenly distributed over the
20

 Environmental Protection Agency
days of the week so as to include no-
workdays as well as workdays. If the
Approval Authority determines that
this schedule will not be most rep-
resentative of the actual operation of
the POTW Treatment Plant, an alter-
native sampling schedule will be ap-
proved.
(2) In addition, upon the Approval
Authority’s concurrence, a POTW may
utilize an historical data base amassed
prior to the effective data of this sec-
tion provide that such data otherwise
meet the requirements of this para-
graph. In order for the historical data
base to be approved it must present a
statistically valid description of daily,
weekly and seasonal sewage treatment
plant loadings and performance for at
least one year.
(C) Effluent sample collection need
not be delayed to compensate for hy-
draulic detention unless the POTW
elects to include detention time com-
pensation or unless the Approval Au-
thority requires detention time com-
pensation. The Approval Authority
may require that each effluent sample
be taken approximately one detention
time later than the corresponding in-
fluent sample when failure to do so
would result in an unrepresentative
portrayal of actual POTW operation.
The detention period is to be based on
a 24-hour average daily flow value. The
average daily flow used will be based
upon the average of the daily flows
during the same month of the previous
year.
(iv) Sampling Procedures: Grab. Where
composite sampling is not an appro-
priate sampling technique, a grab sam-
ple(s) shall be taken to obtain influent
and effluent operational data. Collec-
tion of influent grab samples should
precede collection of effluent samples
by approximately one detention period.
The detention period is to be based on
a 24-hour average daily flow value. The
average daily flow used will be based
upon the average of the daily flows
during the same month of the previous
year. Grab samples will be required, for
example, where the parameters being
evaluated are those, such as cyanide
and phenol, which may not be held for
any extended period because of biologi-
cal, chemical or physical interactions
which take place after sample collec-
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00021
§ 403.7
tion and affect the results. A grab sam-
ple is an individual sample collected
over a period of time not exceeding 15
minutes.
(v) Analytical methods. The sampling
referred to in paragraphs (b)(2) (i)
through (iv) of this section and an
analysis of these samples shall be per-
formed in accordance with the tech-
niques prescribed in 40 CFR part 136
and amendments thereto. Where 40
CFR part 136 does not contain sampling
or analytical techniques for the pollut-
ant in question, or where the Adminis-
trator determines that the part 136
sampling and analytical techniques are
inappropriate for the pollutant in ques-
tion, sampling and analysis shall be
performed using validated analytical
methods or any other applicable sam-
pling and analytical procedures, in-
cluding procedures suggested by the
POTW or other parties, approved by
the Administrator.
(vi) Calculation of removal. All data
acquired under the provisions of this
section must be submitted to the Ap-
proval Authority. Removal for a spe-
cific pollutant shall be determined ei-
ther, for each sample, by measuring
the difference between the concentra-
tions of the pollutant in the influent
and effluent of the POTW and express-
ing the difference as a percent of the
influent concentration, or, where such
data cannot be obtained, Removal may
be demonstrated using other data or
procedures subject to concurrence by
the Approval Authority as provided for
in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(c) Provisional credits. For pollutants
which are not being discharged cur-
rently (i.e., new or modified facilities,
or production changes) the POTW may
apply for authorization to give removal
credits prior to the initial discharge of
the pollutant. Consistent removal shall
be based provisionally on data from
treatability studies or demonstrated
removal at other treatment facilities
where the quality and quantity of in-
fluent are similar. Within 18 months
after the commencement of discharge
of pollutants in question, consistent re-
moval must be demonstrated pursuant
to the requirements of paragraph (b) of
this section. If, within 18 months after
the commencement of the discharge of
the pollutant in question, the POTW
21
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.7
cannot demonstrate consistent re-
moval pursuant to the requirements of
paragraph (b) of this section, the au-
thority to grant provisional removal
credits shall be terminated by the Ap-
proval Authority and all Industrial
Users to whom the revised discharge
limits had been applied shall achieve
compliance with the applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard(s)
within a reasonable time, not to exceed
the period of time prescribed in the ap-
plicable categorical Pretreatment
Standard(s), as may be specified by the
Approval Authority.
(d) Exception to POTW Pretreatment
Program Requirement. A POTW required
to develop a local pretreatment pro-
gram by § 403.8 may conditionally give
removal credits pending approval of
such a program in accordance with the
following terms and conditions:
(1) All Industrial Users who are cur-
rently subject to a categorical
Pretreatment Standard and who wish
conditionally to receive a removal
credit must submit to the POTW the
information required in § 403.12(b)(1)
through (7) (except new or modified in-
dustrial users must only submit the in-
formation required by § 403.12(b)(1)
through (6)), pertaining to the categor-
ical Pretreatment Standard as modi-
fied by the removal credit. The Indus-
trial Users shall indicate what addi-
tional technology, if any, will be need-
ed to comply with the categorical
Pretreatment Standard(s) as modified
by the removal credit;
(2) The POTW must have submitted
to the Approval Authority an applica-
tion for pretreatment program ap-
proval meeting the requirements of
§§ 403.8 and 403.9 in a timely manner,
not to exceed the time limitation set
forth in a compliance schedule for de-
velopment of a pretreatment program
included in the POTW’s NPDES permit,
but in no case later than July 1, 1983,
where no permit deadline exists;
(3) The POTW must:
(i) Compile and submit data dem-
onstrating its consistent removal in
accordance with paragraph (b) of this
section;
(ii) Comply with the conditions speci-
fied in paragraph (a)(3) of this section;
and

40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
(iii) Submit a complete application
for removal credit authority in accord-
ance with paragraph (e) of this section;
(4) If a POTW receives authority to
grant conditional removal credits and
the Approval Authority subsequently
makes a final determination, after ap-
propriate notice, that the POTW failed
to comply with the conditions in para-
graphs (d)(2) and (3) of this section, the
authority to grant conditional removal
credits shall be terminated by the Ap-
proval Authority and all —ndustrial
Users to whom the revised discharge
limits had been applied shall achieve
compliance with the applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard(s)
within a reasonable time, not to exceed
the period of time prescribed in the ap-
plicable categorical Pretreatment
Standard(s), as may be specified by the
Approval Authority.
(5) If a POTW grants conditional re-
moval credits and the POTW or the Ap-
proval Authority subsequently makes a
final determination, after appropriate
notice, that the Industrial User(s)
failed to comply with the conditions in
paragraph (d)(1) of this section, the
conditional credit shall be terminated
by the POTW or the Approval Author-
ity for the non-complying Industrial
User(s) and the Industrial User(s) to
whom the revised discharge limits had
been applied shall achieve compliance
with the applicable categorical
Pretreatment Standard(s) within a rea-
sonable time, not to exceed the period
of time prescribed in the applicable
categorical Pretreatment Standard(s),
as may be specified by the Approval
Authority. The conditional credit shall
not be terminated where a violation of
the provisions of this paragraph results
from causes entirely outside of the con-
trol of the Industrial User(s) or the In-
dustrial User(s) had demonstrated sub-
stantial compliance.
(6) The Approval Authority may elect
not to review an application for condi-
tional removal credit authority upon
receipt of such application, in which
case the conditionally revised dis-
charge limits will remain in effect
until reviewed by the Approval Author-
ity. This review may occur at any time
in accordance with the procedures of
§ 403.11, but in no event later than the
22
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
time of any pretreatment program ap-
proval or any NPDES permit
reissuance thereunder.
(e) POTW application for authorization
to give removal credits and Approval Au-
thority review—(1) Who must apply. Any
POTW that wants to give a removal
credit must apply for authorization
from the Approval Authority.
(2) To whom application is made. An
application for authorization to give
removal credits (or modify existing
ones) shall be submitted by the POTW
to the Approval Authority.
(3) When to apply. A POTW may apply
for authorization to give or modify re-
moval credits at any time.
(4) Contents of the Application. An ap-
plication for authorization to give re-
moval credits must be supported by the
following information:
(i) List of pollutants. A list of pollut-
ants for which removal credits are pro-
posed.
(ii) Consistent Removal Data. The data
required pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this section.
(iii) Calculation of revised discharge
limits. Proposed revised discharge lim-
its for each affected subcategory of In-
dustrial Users calculated in accordance
with paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
(iv) Local Pretreatment Program Cer-
tification. A certification that the
POTW has an approved local
pretreatment program or qualifies for
the exception to this requirement
found at paragraph (d) of this section.
(v) Sludge Management Certification. A
specific description of the POTW’s cur-
rent methods of using or disposing of
its sludge and a certification that the
granting of removal credits will not
cause a violation of the sludge require-
ments identified in paragraph (a)(3)(iv)
of this section.
(vi) NPDES Permit Limit Certification.
A certification that the granting of re-
moval credits will not cause a viola-
tion of the POTW’s NPDES permit lim-
its and conditions as required in para-
graph (a)(3)(v) of this section.
(5) Approval Authority Review. The
Approval Authority shall review the
POTW’s application for authorization
to give or modify removal credits in
accordance with the procedures of
§ 403.11 and shall, in no event, have
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00023
§ 403.7
more that 180 days from public notice
of an application to complete review.
(6) EPA review of State removal credit
approvals. Where the NPDES State has
an approved pretreatment program, the
Regional Administrator may agree in
the Memorandum of Agreement under
40 CFR 123.24(d) to waive the right to
review and object to submissions for
authority to grant removal credits.
Such an agreement shall not restrict
the Regional Administrator’s right to
comment upon or object to permits
issued to POTW’s except to the extent
40 CFR 123.24(d) allows such restric-
tion.
(7) Nothing in these regulations pre-
cludes an Industrial User or other in-
terested party from assisting the
POTW in preparing and presenting the
information necessary to apply for au-
thorization.
(f) Continuation and withdrawal of
authorization—(1) Effect of authoriza-
tion. (i) Once a POTW has received au-
thorization to grant removal credits
for a particular pollutant regulated in
a categorical Pretreatment Standard it
may automatically extend that re-
moval credit to the same pollutant
when it is regulated in other categor-
ical standards, unless granting the re-
moval credit will cause the POTW to
violate the sludge requirements identi-
fied in paragraph (a)(3)(iv) of this sec-
tion or its NPDES permit limits and
conditions as required by paragraph
(a)(3)(v) of this section. If a POTW
elects at a later time to extend re-
moval credits to a certain categorical
Pretreatment Standard, industrial sub-
category or one or more Industrial
Users that initially were not granted
removal credits, it must notify the Ap-
proval Authority.
(2) Inclusion in POTW permit. Once au-
thority is granted, the removal credits
shall be included in the POTW’s
NPDES Permit as soon as possible and
shall become an enforceable require-
ment of the POTW’s NPDES permit.
The removal credits will remain in ef-
fect for the term of the POTW’s
NPDES permit, provided the POTW
maintains compliance with the condi-
tions specified in paragraph (f)(4) of
this section.
(3) Compliance monitoring. Following
authorization to give removal credits,
23
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.7
a POTW shall continue to monitor and
report on (at such intervals as may be
specified by the Approval Authority,
but in no case less than once per year)
the POTW’s removal capabilities. A
minimum of one representative sample
per month during the reporting period
is required, and all sampling data must
be included in the POTW’s compliance
report.
(4) Modification or withdrawal of re-
moval credits—(i) Notice of POTW. The
Approval Authority shall notify the
POTW if, on the basis of pollutant re-
moval capability reports received pur-
suant to paragraph (f)(3) of this section
or other relevant information available
to it, the Approval Authority deter-
mines:
(A) That one or more of the discharge
limit revisions made by the POTW, of
the POTW itself, no longer meets the
requirements of this section, or
(B) That such discharge limit revi-
sions are causing a violation of any
conditions or limits contained in the
POTW’s NPDES Permit.
(ii) Corrective action. If appropriate
corrective action is not taken within a
reasonable time, not to exceed 60 days
unless the POTW or the affected Indus-
trial Users demonstrate that a longer
time period is reasonably necessary to
undertake the appropriate corrective
action, the Approval Authority shall
either withdraw such discharge limits
or require modifications in the revised
discharge limits.
(iii) Public notice of withdrawal or
modification. The Approval Authority
shall not withdraw or modify revised
discharge limits unless it shall first
have notified the POTW and all Indus-
trial Users to whom revised discharge
limits have been applied, and made
public, in writing, the reasons for such
withdrawal or modification, and an op-
portunity is provided for a hearing.
Following such notice and withdrawal
or modification, all Industrial Users to
whom revised discharge limits had
been applied, shall be subject to the
modified discharge limits or the dis-
charge limits prescribed in the applica-
ble categorical Pretreatment Stand-
ards, as appropriate, and shall achieve
compliance with such limits within a
reasonable time (not to exceed the pe-
riod of time prescribed in the applica-

ble categorical Pretreatment Stand-
ard(s) as may be specified by the Ap-
proval Authority.
(g) Removal credits in State-run
pretreatment programs under § 403.10(e).
Where an NPDES State with an ap-
proved pretreatment program elects to
implement a local pretreatment pro-
gram in lieu or requiring the POTW to
develop such a program (as provided in
§ 403.10(e)), the POTW will not be re-
quired to develop a pretreatment pro-
gram as a precondition to obtaining
authorization to give removal credits.
The POTW will, however, be required
to comply with the other conditions of
paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
(h) Compensation for overflow. ‘‘Over-
flow’’ means the intentional or unin-
tentional diversion of flow from the
POTW before the POTW Treatment
Plant. POTWs which at least once an-
nually Overflow untreated wastewater
to receiving waters may claims Con-
sistent Removal of a pollutant only by
complying with either paragraph (h)(1)
of (h)(2) or this section. However, this
subsection shall not apply where Indus-
trial User(s) can demonstrate that
Overflow does not occur between the
Industrial User(s) and the POTW Treat-
ment Plant;
(1) The Industrial User provides con-
tainment or otherwise ceases or re-
duces Discharges from the regulated
processes which contain the pollutant
for which an allowance is requested
during all circumstances in which an
Overflow event can reasonably be ex-
pected to occur at the POTW or at a
sewer to which the Industrial User is
connected. Discharges must cease or be
reduced, or pretreatment must be in-
creased, to the extent necessary to
compensate for the removal not being
provided by the POTW. Allowances
under this provision will only be grant-
ed where the POTW submits to the Ap-
proval Authority evidence that:
(i) All Industrial Users to which the
POTW proposes to apply this provision
have demonstrated the ability to con-
tain or otherwise cease or reduce, dur-
ing circumstances in which an Over-
flow event can reasonably be expected
to occur, Discharges from the regu-
lated processes which contain pollut-
ants for which an allowance is re-
quested;

(ii) The POTW has identified cir-
cumstances in which an Overflow event
can reasonably be expected to occur,
and has a notification or other viable
plan to insure that Industrial Users
will learn of an impending Overflow in
sufficient time to contain, cease or re-
duce Discharging to prevent untreated
Overflows from occurring. The POTW
must also demonstrate that it will
monitor and verify the data required in
paragraph (h)(1)(iii) of this section, to
insure that Industrial Users are con-
taining, ceasing or reducing operations
during POTW System Overflow; and
(iii) All Industrial Users to which the
POTW proposes to apply this provision
have demonstrated the ability and
commitment to collect and make
available, upon request by the POTW,
State Director or EPA Regional Ad-
ministrator, daily flow reports or other
data sufficient to demonstrate that all
Discharges from regulated processes
containing the pollutant for which the
allowance is requested were contained,
reduced or otherwise ceased, as appro-
priate, during all circumstances in
which an Overflow event was reason-
ably expected to occur; or
(2)(i) The Consistent Removal
claimed is reduced pursuant to the fol-
lowing equation:
8760−Z
rc = rm
8760
where:
rm = POTW’s Consistent Removal rate for
that pollutant as established under para-
graphs (a)(1) and (b)(2) of this section
rc = removal corrected by the Overflow factor
Z = hours per year that Overflow occurred
between the Industrial User(s) and the
POTW Treatment Plant, the hours either
to be shown in the POTW’s current NPDES
permit application or the hours, as dem-
onstrated by verifiable techniques, that a
particular Industrial User’s Discharge
Overflows between the Industrial User and
the POTW Treatment Plant; and
(ii) After July 1, 1983, Consistent Re-
moval may be claimed only where ef-
forts to correct the conditions result-
ing in untreated Discharges by the
POTW are underway in accordance
with the policy and procedures set
forth in ‘‘PRM 75–34’’ or ‘‘Program
Guidance Memorandum–61’’ (same doc-

ument) published on December 16, 1975,
by EPA Office of Water Program Oper-
ations (WH–546). (See appendix A.) Re-
visions to discharge limits in categor-
ical Pretreatment Standards may not
be made where efforts have not been
committed to by the POTW to mini-
mize pollution from Overflows. At min-
imum, by July 1, 1983, the POTW must
have completed the analysis required
by PRM 75–34 and be making an effort
to implement the plan.
(iii) If, by July 1, 1983, a POTW has
begun the PRM 75–34 analysis but due
to circumstances beyond its control
has not completed it, Consistent Re-
moval, subject to the approval of the
Approval Authority, may continue to
be claimed according to the formula in
paragraph (h)(2)(i) of this section as
long as the POTW acts in a timely
fashion to complete the analysis and
makes an effort to implement the non-
structural cost-effective measures
identified by the analysis; and so long
as the POTW has expressed its willing-
ness to apply, after completing the
analysis, for a construction grant nec-
essary to implement any other cost-ef-
fective Overflow controls identified in
the analysis should Federal funds be-
come available, so applies for such
funds, and proceeds with the required
construction in an expeditious manner.
In addition, Consistent Removal may,
subject to the approval of the Approval
Authority, continue to be claimed ac-
cording to the formula in paragraph
(h)(2)(i) of this section where the POTW
has completed and the Approval Au-
thority has accepted the analysis re-
quired by PRM 75–34 and the POTW has
requested inclusion in its NPDES per-
mit of an acceptable compliance sched-
ule providing for timely implementa-
tion of cost-effective measures identi-
fied in the analysis. (In considering
what is timely implementation, the
Approval Authority shall consider the
availability of funds, cost of control
measures, and seriousness of the water
quality problem.)

§ 403.8 Pretreatment Program Re-
quirements: Development and Im-
plementation by POTW.
(a) POTWs required to develop a
pretreatment program. Any POTW (or
combination of POTWs operated by the
same authority) with a total design
flow greater than 5 million gallons per
day (mgd) and receiving from Indus-
trial Users pollutants which Pass
Through or Interfere with the oper-
ation of the POTW or are otherwise
subject to Pretreatment Standards will
be required to establish a POTW
Pretreatment Program unless the
NPDES State exercises its option to
assume local responsibilities as pro-
vided for in § 403.10(e). The Regional
Administrator or Director may require
that a POTW with a design flow of 5
mgd or less develop a POTW
Pretreatment Program if he or she
finds that the nature or volume of the
industrial influent, treatment process
upsets, violations of POTW effluent
limitations, contamination of munic-
ipal sludge, or other circumstances
warrant in order to prevent Inter-
ference with the POTW or Pass
Through.
(b) Deadline for Program Approval. A
POTW which meets the criteria of
paragraph (a) of this section must re-
ceive approval of a POTW
Pretreatment Program no later than 3
years after the reissuance or modifica-
tion of its existing NPDES permit but
in no case later than July 1, 1983.
POTWs whose NPDES permits are
modified under section 301(h) of the Act
shall have a Pretreatment Program
within three (3) years as provided for in
40 CFR part 125, subpart G. POTWs
identified after July 1, 1983 as being re-
quired to develop a POTW
Pretreatment Program under para-
graph (a) of this section shall develop
and submit such a program for ap-
proval as soon as possible, but in no
case later than one year after written
notification from the Approval Author-
ity of such identification. The POTW
Pretreatment Program shall meet the
criteria set forth in paragraph (f) of
this section and shall be administered
by the POTW to ensure compliance by
Industrial Users with applicable
Pretreatment Standards and Require-
ments.

40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
(c) Incorporation of approved programs
in permits. A POTW may develop an ap-
propriate POTW Pretreatment Pro-
gram any time before the time limit
set forth in paragraph (b) of this sec-
tion. The POTW’s NPDES Permit will
be reissued or modified by the NPDES
State or EPA to incorporate the ap-
proved Program as enforceable condi-
tions of the Permit. The modification
of a POTW’s NPDES Permit for the
purposes of incorporating a POTW
Pretreatment Program approved in ac-
cordance with the procedure in § 403.11
shall be deemed a minor Permit modi-
fication subject to the procedures in 40
CFR 122.63.
(d) Incorporation of compliance sched-
ules in permits. [Reserved]
(e) Cause for reissuance or modification
of Permits. Under the authority of sec-
tion 402(b)(1)(C) of the Act, the Ap-
proval Authority may modify, or alter-
natively, revoke and reissue a POTW’s
Permit in order to:
(1) Put the POTW on a compliance
schedule for the development of a
POTW Pretreatment Program where
the addition of pollutants into a POTW
by an Industrial User or combination
of Industrial Users presents a substan-
tial hazard to the functioning of the
treatment works, quality of the receiv-
ing waters, human health, or the envi-
ronment;
(2) Coordinate the issuance of a sec-
tion 201 construction grant with the in-
corporation into a permit of a compli-
ance schedule for POTW Pretreatment
Program;
(3) Incorporate a modification of the
permit approved under section 301(h) or
301(i) of the Act;
(4) Incorporate an approved POTW
Pretreatment Program in the POTW
permit; or
(5) Incorporate a compliance schedule
for the development of a POTW
pretreatment program in the POTW
permit.
(6) Incorporate the removal credits
(established under § 403.7) in the POTW
permit.
(f) POTW pretreatment requirements. A
POTW pretreatment program must be
based on the following legal authority
and include the following procedures.
These authorities and procedures shall
26
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
at all times be fully and effectively ex-
ercised and implemented.
(1) Legal authority. The POTW shall
operate pursuant to legal authority en-
forceable in Federal, State or local
courts, which authorizes or enables the
POTW to apply and to enforce the re-
quirements of sections 307 (b) and (c),
and 402(b)(8) of the Act and any regula-
tions implementing those sections.
Such authority may be contained in a
statute, ordinance, or series of con-
tracts or joint powers agreements
which the POTW is authorized to
enact, enter into or implement, and
which are authorized by State law. At
a minimum, this legal authority shall
enable the POTW to:
(i) Deny or condition new or in-
creased contributions of pollutants, or
changes in the nature of pollutants, to
the POTW by Industrial Users where
such contributions do not meet appli-
cable Pretreatment Standards and Re-
quirements or where such contribu-
tions would cause the POTW to violate
its NPDES permit;
(ii) Require compliance with applica-
ble Pretreatment Standards and Re-
quirements by Industrial Users;
(iii) Control through permit, order,
or similar means, the contribution to
the POTW by each Industrial User to
ensure compliance with applicable
Pretreatment Standards and Require-
ments. In the case of Industrial Users
identified as significant under 40 CFR
403.3(t), this control shall be achieved
through permits or equivalent indi-
vidual control mechanisms issued to
each such user. Such control mecha-
nisms must be enforceable and contain,
at a minimum, the following condi-
tions:
(A) Statement of duration (in no case
more than five years);
(B) Statement of non-transferability
without, at a minimum, prior notifica-
tion to the POTW and provision of a
copy of the existing control mechanism
to the new owner or operator;
(C) Effluent limits based on applica-
ble general pretreatment standards in
part 403 of this chapter, categorical
pretreatment standards, local limits,
and State and local law;
(D) Self-monitoring, sampling, re-
porting, notification and recordkeeping
requirements, including an identifica-

tion of the pollutants to be monitored,
sampling location, sampling frequency,
and sample type, based on the applica-
ble general pretreatment standards in
part 403 of this chapter, categorical
pretreatment standards, local limits,
and State and local law;
(E) Statement of applicable civil and
criminal penalties for violation of
pretreatment standards and require-
ments, and any applicable compliance
schedule. Such schedules may not ex-
tend the compliance date beyond appli-
cable federal deadlines.
(iv) Require (A) the development of a
compliance schedule by each Industrial
User for the installation of technology
required to meet applicable
Pretreatment Standards and Require-
ments and (B) the submission of all no-
tices and self–monitoring reports from
Industrial Users as are necessary to as-
sess and assure compliance by Indus-
trial Users with Pretreatment Stand-
ards and Requirements, including but
not limited to the reports required in
§ 403.12.
(v) Carry out all inspection, surveil-
lance and monitoring procedures nec-
essary to determine, independent of in-
formation supplied by Industrial Users,
compliance or noncompliance with ap-
plicable Pretreatment Standards and
Requirements by Industrial Users. Rep-
resentatives of the POTW shall be au-
thorized to enter any premises of any
Industrial User in which a Discharge
source or treatment system is located
or in which records are required to be
kept under § 403.12(m) to assure compli-
ance with Pretreatment Standards.
Such authority shall be at least as ex-
tensive as the authority provided under
section 308 of the Act;
(vi)(A) Obtain remedies for non-
compliance by any Industrial User with
any Pretreatment Standard and Re-
quirement. All POTW’s shall be able to
seek injunctive relief for noncompli-
ance by Industrial Users with
Pretreatment Standards and Require-
ments. All POTWs shall also have au-
thority to seek or assess civil or crimi-
nal penalties in at least the amount of
$1,000 a day for each violation by Indus-
trial Users of Pretreatment Standards
and Requirements.
(B) Pretreatment requirements which
will be enforced through the remedies
27
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.8
set forth in paragraph (f)(1)(vi)(A) of
this section, will include but not be
limited to, the duty to allow or carry
out inspections, entry, or monitoring
activities; any rules, regulations, or or-
ders issued by the POTW; any require-
ments set forth in individual control
mechanisms issued by the POTW; or
any reporting requirements imposed by
the POTW or these regulations. The
POTW shall have authority and proce-
dures (after informal notice to the dis-
charger) immediately and effectively
to halt or prevent any discharge of pol-
lutants to the POTW which reasonably
appears to present an imminent
endangerment to the health or welfare
of persons. The POTW shall also have
authority and procedures (which shall
include notice to the affected indus-
trial users and an opportunity to re-
spond) to halt or prevent any discharge
to the POTW which presents or may
present an endangerment to the envi-
ronment or which threatens to inter-
fere with the operation of the POTW.
The Approval Authority shall have au-
thority to seek judicial relief and may
also use administrative penalty au-
thority when the POTW has sought a
monetary penalty which the Approval
Authority believes to be insufficient.
(vii) Comply with the confidentiality
requirements set forth in § 403.14.
(2) Procedures. The POTW shall de-
velop and implement procedures to en-
sure compliance with the requirements
of a Pretreatment Program. At a min-
imum, these procedures shall enable
the POTW to:
(i) Identify and locate all possible In-
dustrial Users which might be subject
to the POTW Pretreatment Program.
Any compilation, index or inventory of
Industrial Users made under this para-
graph shall be made available to the
Regional Administrator or Director
upon request;
(ii) Identify the character and vol-
ume of pollutants contributed to the
POTW by the Industrial Users identi-
fied under paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this
section. This information shall be
made available to the Regional Admin-
istrator or Director upon request;
(iii) Notify Industrial Users identi-
fied under paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this
section, of applicable Pretreatment
Standards and any applicable require-

ments under sections 204(b) and 405 of
the Act and subtitles C and D of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act. Within 30 days of approval pursu-
ant to 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), of a list of sig-
nificant industrial users, notify each
significant industrial user of its status
as such and of all requirements appli-
cable to it as a result of such status.
(iv) Receive and analyze self-moni-
toring reports and other notices sub-
mitted by Industrial Users in accord-
ance with the self-monitoring require-
ments in § 403.12;
(v) Randomly sample and analyze the
effluent from industrial users and con-
duct surveillance activities in order to
identify, independent of information
supplied by industrial users, occasional
and continuing noncompliance with
pretreatment standards. Inspect and
sample the effluent from each Signifi-
cant Industrial User at least once a
year. Evaluate, at least once every two
years, whether each such Significant
Industrial User needs a plan to control
slug discharges. For purposes of this
subsection, a slug discharge is any dis-
charge of a non-routine, episodic na-
ture, including but not limited to an
accidental spill or a non-customary
batch discharge. The results of such ac-
tivities shall be available to the Ap-
proval Authority upon request. If the
POTW decides that a slug control plan
is needed, the plan shall contain, at a
minimum, the following elements:
(A) Description of discharge prac-
tices, including non-routine batch dis-
charges;
(B) Description of stored chemicals;
(C) Procedures for immediately noti-
fying the POTW of slug discharges, in-
cluding any discharge that would vio-
late a prohibition under 40 CFR
403.5(b), with procedures for follow-up
written notification within five days;
(D) If necessary, procedures to pre-
vent adverse impact from accidental
spills, including inspection and mainte-
nance of storage areas, handling and
transfer of materials, loading and un-
loading operations, control of plant
site run-off, worker training, building
of containment structures or equip-
ment, measures for containing toxic
organic pollutants (including solvents),
and/or measures and equipment for
emergency response;

(vi) Investigate instances of non-
compliance with Pretreatment Stand-
ards and Requirements, as indicated in
the reports and notices required under
§ 403.12, or indicated by analysis, in-
spection, and surveillance activities
described in paragraph (f)(2)(v) of this
section. Sample taking and analysis
and the collection of other information
shall be performed with sufficient care
to produce evidence admissible in en-
forcement proceedings or in judicial
actions; and
(vii) Comply with the public partici-
pation requirements of 40 CFR part 25
in the enforcement of national
pretreatment standards. These proce-
dures shall include provision for at
least annual public notification, in the
largest daily newspaper published in
the municipality in which the POTW is
located, of industrial users which, at
any time during the previous twelve
months, were in significant noncompli-
ance with applicable pretreatment re-
quirements. For the purposes of this
provision, an industrial user is in sig-
nificant noncompliance if its violation
meets one or more of the following cri-
teria:
(A) Chronic violations of wastewater
discharge limits, defined here as those
in which sixty-six percent or more of
all of the measurements taken during a
six-month period exceed (by any mag-
nitude) the daily maximum limit or
the average limit for the same pollut-
ant parameter;
(B) Technical Review Criteria (TRC)
violations, defined here as those in
which thirty-three percent or more of
all of the measurements for each pol-
lutant parameter taken during a six-
month period equal or exceed the prod-
uct of the daily maximum limit or the
average limit multiplied by the appli-
cable TRC (TRC=1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats,
oil, and grease, and 1.2 for all other pol-
lutants except pH.
(C) Any other violation of a
pretreatment effluent limit (daily max-
imum or longer-term average) that the
Control Authority determines has
caused, alone or in combination with
other discharges, interference or pass
through (including endangering the
health of POTW personnel or the gen-
eral public);

§ 403.8
(D) Any discharge of a pollutant that
has caused imminent endangerment to
human health, welfare or to the envi-
ronment or has resulted in the POTW’s
exercise of its emergency authority
under paragraph (f)(1)(vi)(B) of this sec-
tion to halt or prevent such a dis-
charge;
(E) Failure to meet, within 90 days
after the schedule date, a compliance
schedule milestone contained in a local
control mechanism or enforcement
order for starting construction, com-
pleting construction, or attaining final
compliance;
(F) Failure to provide, within 30 days
after the due date, required reports
such as baseline monitoring reports, 90-
day compliance reports, periodic self-
monitoring reports, and reports on
compliance with compliance schedules;
(G) Failure to accurately report non-
compliance;
(H) Any other violation or group of
violations which the Control Authority
determines will adversely affect the op-
eration or implementation of the local
pretreatment program.
(3) Funding. The POTW shall have
sufficient resources and qualified per-
sonnel to carry out the authorities and
procedures described in paragraphs (f)
(1) and (2) of this section. In some lim-
ited circumstances, funding and per-
sonnel may be delayed where (i) the
POTW has adequate legal authority
and procedures to carry out the
Pretreatment Program requirements
described in this section, and (ii) a lim-
ited aspect of the Program does not
need to be implemented immediately
(see § 403.9(b)).
(4) Local limits. The POTW shall de-
velop local limits as required in
§ 403.5(c)(1), or demonstrate that they
are not necessary.
(5) The POTW shall develop and im-
plement an enforcement response plan.
This plan shall contain detailed proce-
dures indicating how a POTW will in-
vestigate and respond to instances of
industrial user noncompliance. The
plan shall, at a minimum:
(i) Describe how the POTW will in-
vestigate instances of noncompliance;
(ii) Describe the types of escalating
enforcement responses the POTW will
take in response to all anticipated
types of industrial user violations and

the time periods within which re-
sponses will take place;
(iii) Identify (by title) the official(s)
responsible for each type of response;
(iv) Adequately reflect the POTW’s
primary responsibility to enforce all
applicable pretreatment requirements
and standards, as detailed in 40 CFR
403.8 (f)(1) and (f)(2).
(6) The POTW shall prepare and
maintain a list of its industrial users
meeting the criteria in § 403.3(u)(1). The
list shall identify the criteria in
§ 403.3(u)(1) applicable to each indus-
trial user and, for industrial users
meeting the criteria in § 403.3(u)(ii),

the POTW can comply with the appli-
cable requirements of paragraphs (b),
(c) of this section, and, if appropriate,
paragraph (d) of this section.
(g) Consistency with water quality man-
agement plans. (1) In order to be ap-
proved the POTW Pretreatment Pro-
gram shall be consistent with any ap-
proved water quality management plan
developed in accordance with 40 CFR
parts 130, 131, as revised, where such 208
plan includes Management Agency des-
ignations and addresses pretreatment
in a manner consistent with 40 CFR
part 403. In order to assure such con-
sistency the Approval Authority shall
solicit the review and comment of the
appropriate 208 Planning Agency dur-
ing the public comment period pro-
vided for in § 403.11(b)(1)(ii) prior to ap-
proval or disapproval of the Program.
(2) Where no 208 plan has been ap-
proved or where a plan has been ap-
proved but lacks Management Agency
designations and/or does not address
pretreatment in a manner consistent
with this regulation, the Approval Au-
thority shall nevertheless solicit the
review and comment of the appropriate
208 planning agency.

§ 403.10 Development and submission
of NPDES State pretreatment pro-
grams.
(a) Approval of State Programs. No
State NPDES program shall be ap-
proved under section 402 of the Act
after the effective date of these regula-
tions unless it is determined to meet
the requirements of paragraph (f) of
this section. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this regulation, a
State will be required to act upon
those authorities which it currently
possesses before the approval of a State
Pretreatment Program.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Failure to request approval. Failure
of an NPDES State with a permit pro-
gram approved under section 402 of the
Act prior to December 27, 1977, to seek
approval of a State Pretreatment Pro-
gram and failure of an approved State
to administer its State Pretreatment

Program in accordance with the re-
quirements of this section constitutes
grounds for withdrawal of NPDES pro-
gram approval under section 402(c)(3) of
the Act.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) State Program in lieu of POTW Pro-
gram. Notwithstanding the provision of
§ 403.8(a), a State with an approved
Pretreatment Program may assume re-
sponsibility for implementing the
POTW Pretreatment Program require-
ments set forth in § 403.8(f) in lieu of re-
quiring the POTW to develop a
Pretreatment Program. However, this
does not preclude POTW’s from inde-
pendently developing Pretreatment
Programs.
(f) State Pretreatment Program require-
ments. In order to be approved, a re-
quest for State Pretreatment Program
Approval must demonstrate that the
State Pretreatment Program has the
following elements:
(1) Legal authority. The Attorney
General’s Statement submitted in ac-
cordance with paragraph (g)(1)(i) of
this section shall certify that the Di-
rector has authority under State law to
operate and enforce the State
Pretreatment Program to the extent
required by this part and by 40 CFR
123.27. At a minimum, the Director
shall have the authority to:
(i) Incorporate POTW Pretreatment
Program conditions into permits issued
to POTW’s; require compliance by
POTW’s with these incorporated per-
mit conditions; and require compliance
by Industrial Users with Pretreatment
Standards;
(ii) Ensure continuing compliance by
POTW’s with pretreatment conditions
incorporated into the POTW Permit
through review of monitoring reports
submitted to the Director by the
POTW in accordance with § 403.12 and
ensure continuing compliance by In-
dustrial Users with Pretreatment
Standards through the review of self-
monitoring reports submitted to the
POTW or to the Director by the Indus-
trial Users in accordance with § 403.12;
(iii) Carry out inspection, surveil-
lance and monitoring procedures which
will determine, independent of infor-
mation supplied by the POTW, compli-
ance or noncompliance by the POTW
with pretreatment conditions incor-

porated into the POTW Permit; and
carry out inspection, surveillance and
monitoring procedures which will de-
termine, independent of information
supplied by the Industrial User, wheth-
er the Industrial User is in compliance
with Pretreatment Standards;
(iv) Seek civil and criminal penalties,
and injunctive relief, for noncompli-
ance by the POTW with pretreatment
conditions incorporated into the POTW
Permit and for noncompliance with
Pretreatment Standards by Industrial
Users as set forth in § 403.8(f)(1)(vi). The
Director shall have authority to seek
judicial relief for noncompliance by In-
dustrial Users even when the POTW
has acted to seek such relief (e.g., if
the POTW has sought a penalty which
the Director finds to be insufficient);
(v) Approve and deny requests for ap-
proval of POTW Pretreatment Pro-
grams submitted by a POTW to the Di-
rector;
(vi) Deny and recommend approval of
(but not approve) requests for Fun-
damentally Different Factors variances
submitted by Industrial Users in ac-
cordance with the criteria and proce-
dures set forth in § 403.13; and
(vii) Approve and deny requests for
authority to modify categorical
Pretreatment Standards to reflect re-
movals achieved by the POTW in ac-
cordance with the criteria and proce-
dures set forth in §§ 403.7, 403.9 and
403.11.
(2) Procedures. The Director shall
have developed procedures to carry out
the requirements of sections 307 (b) and
(c), and 402(b)(1), 402(b)(2), 402(b)(8), and
402(b)(9) of the Act. At a minimum,
these procedures shall enable the Di-
rector to:
(i) Identify POTW’s required to de-
velop Pretreatment Programs in ac-
cordance with § 403.8(a) and notify
these POTW’s of the need to develop a
POTW Pretreatment Program. In the
absence of a POTW Pretreatment Pro-
gram, the State shall have procedures
to carry out the activities set forth in
§ 403.8(f)(2);
(ii) Provide technical and legal as-
sistance to POTW’s in developing
Pretreatment Programs;
(iii) Develop compliance schedules
for inclusion in POTW Permits which
set forth the shortest reasonable time

needed to implement a POTW
Pretreatment Program. The final com-
pliance date in these schedules shall be
no later than July 1, 1983;
(iv) Sample and analyze:
(A) Influent and effluent of the
POTW to identify, independent of in-
formation supplied by the POTW, com-
pliance or noncompliance with pollut-
ant removal levels set forth in the

(B) The contents of sludge from the
POTW and methods of sludge disposal
and use to identify, independent of in-
formation supplied by the POTW, com-
pliance or noncompliance with require-
ments applicable to the selected meth-
od of sludge management;
(v) Investigate evidence of violations
of pretreatment conditions set forth in
the POTW Permit by taking samples
and acquiring other information as
needed. This data acquisition shall be
performed with sufficient care as to
produce evidence admissible in an en-
forcement proceeding or in court;
(vi) Review and approve requests for
approval of POTW Pretreatment Pro-
grams and authority to modify cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standards sub-
mitted by a POTW to the Director; and
(vii) Consider requests for Fundamen-
tally Different Factors variances sub-
mitted by Industrial Users in accord-
ance with the criteria and procedures
set forth in § 403.13.
(3) Funding. The Director shall assure
that funding and qualified personnel
are available to carry out the authori-
ties and procedures described in para-
graphs (f)(1) and (2) of this section.
(g) Content of State Pretreatment Pro-
gram submission. The request for State
Pretreatment Program approval will
consist of:
(1)(i) A statement from the State At-
torney General (or the Attorney for
those State agencies which have inde-
pendent legal counsel) that the laws of
the State provide adequate authority
to implement the requirements of this
part. The authorities cited by the At-
torney General in this statement shall
be in the form of lawfully adopted

tions must be established by November
16, 1990.
(2) A description of the funding levels
and full- and part-time personnel avail-
able to implement the program; and
(3) Any modifications or additions to
the Memorandum of Agreement (re-
quired by 40 CFR 123.24) which may be
necessary for EPA and the State to im-
plement the requirements of this part.
(h) EPA Action. Any approved NPDES
State requesting State Pretreatment
Program approval shall submit to the

(i) Regulated process streams; and
(ii) Other streams as necessary to
allow use of the combined wastestream
formula of § 403.6(e). (See paragraph
(b)(5)(v) of this section.)
The Control Authority may allow for
verifiable estimates of these flows
where justified by cost or feasibility
considerations.
(5) Measurement of pollutants. (i) The
user shall identify the Pretreatment
Standards applicable to each regulated
process;
(ii) In addition, the User shall submit
the results of sampling and analysis
identifying the nature and concentra-
tion (or mass, where required by the
Standard or Control Authority) of reg-
ulated pollutants in the Discharge
from each regulated process. Both
daily maximum and average concentra-
tion (or mass, where required) shall be
reported. The sample shall be rep-
resentative of daily operations;
(iii) A minimum of four (4) grab sam-
ples must be used for pH, cyanide, total
phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and
volatile organics. For all other pollut-
ants, 24-hour composite samples must
be obtained through flow-proportional
composite sampling techniques where
feasible. The Control Authority may
waive flow-proportional composite
sampling for any Industrial User that
demonstrates that flow-proportional
sampling is infeasible. In such cases,
samples may be obtained through time-
proportional composite sampling tech-
niques or through a minimum of four
(4) grab samples where the User dem-
onstrates that this will provide a rep-

resentative sample of the effluent
being discharged.
(iv) The User shall take a minimum
of one representative sample to com-
pile that data necessary to comply
with the requirements of this para-
graph.
(v) Samples should be taken imme-
diately downstream from pretreatment
facilities if such exist or immediately
downstream from the regulated process
if no pretreatment exists. If other
wastewaters are mixed with the regu-
lated wastewater prior to pretreatment
the User should measure the flows and
concentrations necessary to allow use
of the combined wastestream formula
of § 403.6(e) in order to evaluate compli-
ance with the Pretreatment Standards.
Where an alternate concentration or
mass limit has been calculated in ac-
cordance with § 403.6(e) this adjusted
limit along with supporting data shall
be submitted to the Control Authority;
(vi) Sampling and analysis shall be
performed in accordance with the tech-
niques prescribed in 40 CFR part 136
and amendments thereto. Where 40
CFR part 136 does not contain sampling
or analytical techniques for the pollut-
ant in question, or where the Adminis-
trator determines that the part 136
sampling and analytical techniques are
inappropriate for the pollutant in ques-
tion, sampling and analysis shall be
performed by using validated analyt-
ical methods or any other applicable
sampling and analytical procedures, in-
cluding procedures suggested by the
POTW or other parties, approved by
the Administrator;
(vii) The Control Authority may
allow the submission of a baseline re-
port which utilizes only historical data
so long as the data provides informa-
tion sufficient to determine the need
for industrial pretreatment measures;
(viii) The baseline report shall indi-
cate the time, date and place, of sam-
pling, and methods of analysis, and
shall certify that such sampling and
analysis is representative of normal
work cycles and expected pollutant
Discharges to the POTW;
(6) Certification. A statement, re-
viewed by an authorized representative
of the Industrial User (as defined in

paragraph (k) of this section) and cer-
tified to by a qualified professional, in-
dicating whether Pretreatment Stand-
ards are being met on a consistent
basis, and, if not, whether additional
operation and maintenance (O and M)
and/or additional pretreatment is re-
quired for the Industrial User to meet
the Pretreatment Standards and Re-
quirements; and
(7) Compliance schedule. If additional
pretreatment and/or O and M will be
required to meet the Pretreatment
Standards; the shortest schedule by
which the Industrial User will provide
such additional pretreatment and/or O
and M. The completion date in this
schedule shall not be later than the
compliance date established for the ap-
plicable Pretreatment Standard.
(i) Where the Industrial User’s cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard has
been modified by a removal allowance
(§ 403.7), the combined wastestream for-
mula (§ 403.6(e)), and/or a Fundamen-
tally Different Factors variance
(§ 403.13) at the time the User submits
the report required by paragraph (b) of
this section, the information required
by paragraphs (b)(6) and (7) of this sec-
tion shall pertain to the modified lim-
its.
(ii) If the categorical Pretreatment
Standard is modified by a removal al-
lowance (§ 403.7), the combined
wastestream formula (§ 403.6(e)), and/or
a Fundamentally Different Factors
variance (§ 403.13) after the User sub-
mits the report required by paragraph
(b) of this section, any necessary
amendments to the information re-
quested by paragraphs (b)(6) and (7) of
this section shall be submitted by the
User to the Control Authority within
60 days after the modified limit is ap-
proved.
(c) Compliance schedule for meeting
categorical Pretreatment Standards. The
following conditions shall apply to the
schedule required by paragraph (b)(7) of
this section:
(1) The schedule shall contain incre-
ments of progress in the form of dates
for the commencement and completion
of major events leading to the con-
struction and operation of additional
pretreatment required for the Indus-
trial User to meet the applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standards (e.g.,

nary plans, completing final plans, exe-
cuting contract for major components,
commencing construction, completing
construction, etc.).
(2) No increment referred to in para-
graph (c)(1) of this section shall exceed
9 months.
(3) Not later than 14 days following
each date in the schedule and the final
date for compliance, the Industrial
User shall submit a progress report to
the Control Authority including, at a
minimum, whether or not it complied
with the increment of progress to be
met on such date and, if not, the date
on which it expects to comply with this
increment of progress, the reason for
delay, and the steps being taken by the
Industrial User to return the construc-
tion to the schedule established. In no
event shall more than 9 months elapse
between such progress reports to the
Control Authority.
(d) Report on compliance with categor-
ical pretreatment standard deadline.
Within 90 days following the date for
final compliance with applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standards or in
the case of a New Source following
commencement of the introduction of
wastewater into the POTW, any Indus-
trial User subject to Pretreatment
Standards and Requirements shall sub-
mit to the Control Authority a report
containing the information described
in paragraphs (b) (4)–(6) of this section.
For Industrial Users subject to equiva-
lent mass or concentration limits es-
tablished by the Control Authority in
accordance with the procedures in
§ 403.6(c), this report shall contain a
reasonable measure of the User’s long
term production rate. For all other In-
dustrial Users subject to categorical
Pretreatment Standards expressed in
terms of allowable pollutant discharge
per unit of production (or other meas-
ure of operation), this report shall in-
clude the User’s actual production dur-
ing the appropriate sampling period.
(e) Periodic reports on continued com-
pliance. (1) Any Industrial User subject
to a categorical Pretreatment Stand-
ard, after the compliance date of such
Pretreatment Standard, or, in the case
of a New Source, after commencement
of the discharge into the POTW, shall
37
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.12
submit to the Control Authority dur-
ing the months of June and December,
unless required more frequently in the
Pretreatment Standard or by the Con-
trol Authority or the Approval Author-
ity, a report indicating the nature and
concentration of pollutants in the ef-
fluent which are limited by such cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standards. In
addition, this report shall include a
record of measured or estimated aver-
age and maximum daily flows for the
reporting period for the Discharge re-
ported in paragraph (b)(4) of this sec-
tion except that the Control Authority
may require more detailed reporting of
flows. At the discretion of the Control
Authority and in consideraton of such
factors as local high or low flow rates,
holidays, budget cycles, etc., the Con-
trol Authority may agree to alter the
months during which the above reports
are to be submitted.
(2) Where the Control Authority has
imposed mass limitations on Industrial
Users as provided for by § 403.6(d), the
report required by paragraph (e)(1) of
this section shall indicate the mass of
pollutants regulated by Pretreatment
Standards in the Discharge from the
Industrial User.
(3) For Industrial Users subject to
equivalent mass or concentration lim-
its established by the Control Author-
ity in accordance with the procedures
in § 403.6(c), the report required by
paragraph (e)(1) shall contain a reason-
able measure of the User’s long term
production rate. For all other Indus-
trial Users subject to categorical
Pretreatment Standards expressed only
in terms of allowable pollutant dis-
charge per unit of production (or other
measure of operation), the report re-
quired by paragraph (e)(1) shall include
the User’s actual average production
rate for the reporting period.
(f) Notice of potential problems, includ-
ing slug loading. All categorical and
non-categorical Industrial Users shall
notify the POTW immediately of all
discharges that could cause problems
to the POTW, including any slug load-
ings, as defined by § 403.5(b), by the In-
dustrial User.
(g) Monitoring and analysis to dem-
onstrate continued compliance. (1) The
reports required in paragraphs (b), (d),
and (e) of this section shall contain the

results of sampling and analaysis of
the Discharge, including the flow and
the nature and concentration, or pro-
duction and mass where requested by
the Control Authority, of pollutants
contained therein which are limited by
the applicable Pretreatment Stand-
ards. This sampling and analysis may
be performed by the Control Authority
in lieu of the Industrial User. Where
the POTW performs the required sam-
pling and analysis in lieu of the Indus-
trial User, the User will not be required
to submit the compliance certification
required under §§ 403.12(b) (6) and
403.12(d). In addition, where the POTW
itself collects all the information re-
quired for the report, including flow
data, the Industrial User will not be re-
quired to submit the report.
(2) If sampling performed by an In-
dustrial User indicates a violation, the
user shall notify the Control Authority
within 24 hours of becoming aware of
the violation. The User shall also re-
peat the sampling and analysis and
submit the results of the repeat anal-
ysis to the Control Authority within 30
days after becoming aware of the viola-
tion, except the Industrial User is not
required to resample if:
(i) The Control Authority performs
sampling at the Industrial User at a
frequency of at least once per month,
or
(ii) The Control Authority performs
sampling at the User between the time
when the User performs its initial sam-
pling and the time when the User re-
ceives the results of this sampling.
(3) The reports required in paragraph
(e) of this section shall be based upon
data obtained through appropriate
sampling and analysis performed dur-
ing the period covered by the report,
which data is representative of condi-
tions occurring during the reporting
period. The Control Authority shall re-
quire that frequency of monitoring
necessary to assess and assure compli-
ance by Industrial Users with applica-
ble Pretreatment Standards and Re-
quirements.
(4) All analyses shall be performed in
accordance with procedures established
by the Administrator pursuant to sec-
tion 304(h) of the Act and contained in
40 CFR part 136 and amendments there-
to or with any other test procedures
38

approved by the Administrator. (See,
§§ 136.4 and 136.5.) Sampling shall be
performed in accordance with the tech-
niques approved by the Administrator.
Where 40 CFR part 136 does not include
sampling or analytical techniques for
the pollutants in question, or where
the Administrator determines that the
part 136 sampling and analytical tech-
niques are inappropriate for the pollut-
ant in question, sampling and analyses
shall be performed using validated ana-
lytical methods or any other sampling
and analytical procedures, including
procedures suggested by the POTW or
other parties, approved by the Admin-
istrator.
(5) If an Industrial User subject to
the reporting requirement in paragraph
(e) of this section monitors any pollut-
ant more frequently than required by
the Control Authority, using the proce-
dures prescribed in paragraph (g)(4) of
this section, the results of this moni-
toring shall be included in the report.
(h) Reporting requirements for Indus-
trial Users not subject to categorical
Pretreatment Standards. The Control
Authority shall require appropriate re-
porting from those Industrial Users
with discharges that are not subject to
categorical Pretreatment Standards.
Significant Noncategorical Industrial
Users shall submit to the Control Au-
thority at least once every six months
(on dates specified by the Control Au-
thority) a description of the nature,
concentration, and flow of the pollut-
ants required to be reported by the
Control Authority. These reports shall
be based on sampling and analysis per-
formed in the period covered by the re-
port, and performed in accordance with
the techniques described in 40 CFR part
136 and amendments thereto. Where 40
CFR part 136 does not contain sampling
or analytical techniques for the pollut-
ant in question, or where the Adminis-
trator determines that the part 136
sampling and analytical techniques are
inappropriate for the pollutant in ques-
tion, sampling and analysis shall be
performed by using validated analyt-
ical methods or any other applicable
sampling and analytical procedures, in-
cluding procedures suggested by the
POTW or other persons, approved by
the Administrator. This sampling and
analysis may be performed by the Con-

trol Authority in lieu of the significant
noncategorical industrial user. Where
the POTW itself collects all the infor-
mation required for the report, the
noncategorical significant industrial
user will not be required to submit the
report.
(i) Annual POTW reports. POTWs with
approved Pretreatment Programs shall
provide the Approval Authority with a
report that briefly describes the
POTW’s program activities, including
activities of all participating agencies,
if more than one jurisdiction is in-
volved in the local program. The report
required by this section shall be sub-
mitted no later than one year after ap-
proval of the POTW’s Pretreatment
Program, and at least annually there-
after, and shall include, at a minimum,
the following:
(1) An updated list of the POTW’s In-
dustrial Users, including their names
and addresses, or a list of deletions and
additions keyed to a previously sub-
mitted list. The POTW shall provide a
brief explanation of each deletion. This
list shall identify which Industrial
Users are subject to categorical
pretreatment Standards and specify
which Standards are applicable to each
Industrial User. The list shall indicate
which Industrial Users are subject to
local standards that are more stringent
than the categorical Pretreatment
Standards. The POTW shall also list
the Industrial Users that are subject
only to local Requirements.
(2) A summary of the status of Indus-
trial User compliance over the report-
ing period;
(3) A summary of compliance and en-
forcement activities (including inspec-
tions) conducted by the POTW during
the reporting period;
(4) A summary of changes to the
POTW’s pretreatment program that
have not been previously reported to
the Approval Authority; and
(5) Any other relevant information
requested by the Approval Authority.
(j) Notification of changed discharge.
All Industrial Users shall promptly no-
tify the POTW in advance of any sub-
stantial change in the volume or char-
acter of pollutants in their discharge,
including the listed or characteristic

The following conditions and reporting
requirements shall apply to the com-
pliance schedule for development of an
approvable POTW Pretreatment Pro-
gram required by § 403.8.
(1) The schedule shall contain incre-
ments of progress in the form of dates
for the commencement and completion
of major events leading to the develop-
ment and implementation of a POTW
Pretreatment Program (e.g., acquiring
required authorities, developing fund-
ing mechanisms, acquiring equipment);
(2) No increment referred to in para-
graph (h)(1) of this section shall exceed
nine months;
(3) Not later than 14 days following
each date in the schedule and the final
date for compliance, the POTW shall
submit a progress report to the Ap-
proval Authority including, as a min-
imum, whether or not it complied with
the increment of progress to be met on
such date and, if not, the date on which
it expects to comply with this incre-
ment of progress, the reason for delay,
and the steps taken by the POTW to re-
turn to the schedule established. In no
event shall more than nine months
elapse between such progress reports to
the Approval Authority.
(l) Signatory requirements for industrial
user reports. The reports required by
paragraphs (b), (d), and (e) of this sec-
tion shall include the certification
statement as set forth in
§ 403.6(a)(2)(ii), and shall be signed as
follows:
(1) By a responsible corporate officer,

cation; and
(3) The provisions of section 309(c)(6)
regarding responsible corporate offi-
cers.
(o) Record-keeping requirements. (1)
Any Industrial User and POTW subject
to the reporting requirements estab-
lished in this section shall maintain
records of all information resulting
from any monitoring activities re-
quired by this section. Such records
shall include for all samples:
(i) The date, exact place, method, and
time of sampling and the names of the
person or persons taking the samples;
(ii) The dates analyses were per-
formed;
(iii) Who performed the analyses;
(iv) The analytical techniques/meth-
ods use; and
(v) The results of such analyses.
(2) Any Industrial User or POTW sub-
ject to the reporting requirements es-
tablished in this section shall be re-
quired to retain for a minimum of 3
years any records of monitoring activi-
ties and results (whether or not such
monitoring activities are required by
this section) and shall make such
records available for inspection and
copying by the Director and the Re-
gional Administrator (and POTW in
the case of an Industrial User). This pe-
riod of retention shall be extended dur-
ing the course of any unresolved litiga-
tion regarding the Industrial User or
POTW or when requested by the Direc-
tor or the Regional Administrator.
(3) Any POTW to which reports are
submitted by an Industrial User pursu-
ant to paragraphs (b), (d), (e), and (h) of
this section shall retain such reports
for a minimum of 3 years and shall
make such reports available for inspec-
tion and copying by the Director and
the Regional Administrator. This pe-
riod of retention shall be extended dur-
ing the course of any unresolved litiga-
tion regarding the discharge of pollut-
ants by the Industrial User or the oper-
ation of the POTW Pretreatment Pro-
gram or when requested by the Direc-
tor or the Regional Administrator.
(p)(1) The Industrial User shall notify
the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste
Management Division Director, and

§ 403.12
State hazardous waste authorities in
writing of any discharge into the
POTW of a substance, which, if other-
wise disposed of, would be a hazardous
waste under 40 CFR part 261. Such noti-
fication must include the name of the
hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR
part 261, the EPA hazardous waste
number, and the type of discharge (con-
tinuous, batch, or other). If the Indus-
trial User discharges more than 100
kilograms of such waste per calendar
month to the POTW, the notification
shall also contain the following infor-
mation to the extent such information
is known and readily available to the
Industrial User: An identification of
the hazardous constituents contained
in the wastes, an estimation of the
mass and concentration of such con-
stituents in the wastestream dis-
charged during that calendar month,
and an estimation of the mass of con-
stituents in the wastestream expected
to be discharged during the following
twelve months. All notifications must
take place within 180 days of the effec-
tive date of this rule. Industrial users
who commence discharging after the
effective date of this rule shall provide
the notification no later than 180 days
after the discharge of the listed or
characteristic hazardous waste. Any
notification under this paragraph need
be submitted only once for each haz-
ardous waste discharged. However, no-
tifications of changed discharges must
be submitted under 40 CFR 403.12 (j).
The notification requirement in this
section does not apply to pollutants al-
ready reported under the self-moni-
toring requirements of 40 CFR 403.12
(b), (d), and (e).
(2) Dischargers are exempt from the
requirements of paragraph (p)(1) of this
section during a calendar month in
which they discharge no more than fif-
teen kilograms of hazardous wastes,
unless the wastes are acute hazardous
wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d)
and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than
fifteen kilograms of non-acute haz-
ardous wastes in a calendar month, or
of any quantity of acute hazardous
wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d)
and 261.33(e), requires a one-time noti-
fication.
Subsequent months during which the
Industrial User discharges more than
41
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.13
such quantities of any hazardous waste
do not require additional notification.
(3) In the case of any new regulations
under section 3001 of RCRA identifying
additional characteristics of hazardous
waste or listing any additional sub-
stance as a hazardous waste, the Indus-
trial User must notify the POTW, the
EPA Regional Waste Management
Waste Division Director, and State
hazardous waste authorities of the dis-
charge of such substance within 90 days
of the effective date of such regula-
tions.
(4) In the case of any notification
made under paragraph (p) of this sec-
tion, the Industrial User shall certify
that it has a program in place to re-
duce the volume and toxicity of haz-
ardous wastes generated to the degree
it has determined to be economically
practical.

§ 403.13 Variances from categorical
pretreatment standards for fun-
damentally different factors.
(a) Definition. The term Requester
means an Industrial User or a POTW or
other interested person seeking a vari-
ance from the limits specified in a cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard.
(b) Purpose and scope. In establishing
categorical Pretreatment Standards
for existing sources, the EPA will take
into account all the information it can
collect, develop and solicit regarding
the factors relevant to pretreatment
standards under section 307(b). In some
cases, information which may affect
these Pretreatment Standards will not
be available or, for other reasons, will
not be considered during their develop-
ment. As a result, it may be necessary
on a case-by-case basis to adjust the
limits in categorical Pretreatment
Standards, making them either more
or less stringent, as they apply to a
certain Industrial User within an in-
dustrial category or subcategory. This
will only be done if data specific to
that Industrial User indicates it pre-
sents factors fundamentally different
from those considered by EPA in devel-

person believing that factors relating
to an Industrial User are fundamen-
tally different from the factors consid-
ered during development of a categor-
ical Pretreatment Standard applicable
to that User and further, that the ex-
istence of those factors justifies a dif-
ferent discharge limit than specified in
the applicable categorical
Pretreatment Standard, may request a
fundamentally different factors vari-
ance under this section or such a vari-
ance request may be initiated by the
EPA.
(c) Criteria—(1) General criteria. A re-
quest for a variance based upon fun-
damentally different factors shall be
approved only if:
(i) There is an applicable categorical
Pretreatment Standard which specifi-
cally controls the pollutant for which
alternative limits have been requested;
and
(ii) Factors relating to the discharge
controlled by the categorical
Pretreatment Standard are fundamen-
tally different from the factors consid-
ered by EPA in establishing the Stand-
ards; and
(iii) The request for a variance is
made in accordance with the proce-
dural requirements in paragraphs (g)
and (h) of this section.
(2) Criteria applicable to less stringent
limits. A variance request for the estab-
lishment of limits less stringent than
required by the Standard shall be ap-
proved only if:
(i) The alternative limit requested is
no less stringent than justified by the
fundamental difference;
(ii) The alternative limit will not re-
sult in a violation of prohibitive dis-
charge standards prescribed by or es-
tablished under § 403.5;
(iii) The alternative limit will not re-
sult in a non-water quality environ-
mental impact (including energy re-
quirements) fundamentally more ad-
verse than the impact considered dur-
ing development of the Pretreatment
Standards; and
(iv) Compliance with the Standards
(either by using the technologies upon
which the Standards are based or by
using other control alternatives) would
result in either:
(A) A removal cost (adjusted for in-
flation) wholly out of proportion to the
Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
removal cost considered during devel-
opment of the Standards; or
(B) A non-water quality environ-
mental impact (including energy re-
quirements) fundamentally more ad-
verse than the impact considered dur-
ing development of the Standards.
(3) Criteria applicable to more stringent
limits. A variance request for the estab-
lishment of limits more stringent than
required by the Standards shall be ap-
proved only if:
(i) The alternative limit request is no
more stringent than justified by the
fundamental difference; and
(ii) Compliance with the alternative
limit would not result in either:
(A) A removal cost (adjusted for in-
flation) wholly out of proportion to the
removal cost considered during devel-
opment of the Standards; or
(B) A non-water quality environ-
mental impact (including energy re-
quirements) fundamentally more ad-
verse than the impact considered dur-
ing development of the Standards.
(d) Factors considered fundamentally
different. Factors which may be consid-
ered fundamentally different are:
(1) The nature or quality of pollut-
ants contained in the raw waste load of
the User’s process wastewater:
(2) The volume of the User’s process
wastewater and effluent discharged;
(3) Non-water quality environmental
impact of control and treatment of the
User’s raw waste load;
(4) Energy requirements of the appli-
cation of control and treatment tech-
nology;
(5) Age, size, land availability, and
configuration as they relate to the
User’s equipment or facilities; proc-
esses employed; process changes; and
engineering aspects of the application
of control technology;
(6) Cost of compliance with required
control technology.
(e) Factors which will not be considered
fundamentally different. A variance re-
quest or portion of such a request
under this section may not be granted
on any of the following grounds:
(1) The feasibility of installing the
required waste treatment equipment
within the time the Act allows;
(2) The assertion that the Standards
cannot be achieved with the appro-
priate waste treatment facilities in-
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00043
§ 403.13
stalled, if such assertion is not based
on factors listed in paragraph (d) of
this section;
(3) The User’s ability to pay for the
required waste treatment; or
(4) The impact of a Discharge on the
quality of the POTW’s receiving wa-
ters.
(f) State or local law. Nothing in this
section shall be construed to impair
the right of any state or locality under
section 510 of the Act to impose more
stringent limitations than required by
Federal law.
(g) Application deadline. (1) Requests
for a variance and supporting informa-
tion must be submitted in writing to
the Director or to the Administrator
(or his delegate), as appropriate.
(2) In order to be considered, a re-
quest for a variance must be submitted
no later than 180 days after the date on
which a categorical Pretreatment
Standard is published in the FEDERAL
REGISTER.
(3) Where the User has requested a
catergorical determination pursuant to
§ 403.6(a), the User may elect to await
the results of the category determina-
tion before submitting a variance re-
quest under this section. Where the
User so elects, he or she must submit
the variance request within 30 days
after a final decision has been made on
the categorical determination pursuant
to § 403.6(a)(4).
(h) Contents submission. Written sub-
missions for variance requests, whether
made to the Administrator (or his dele-
gate) or the Director, must include:
(1) The name and address of the per-
son making the request;
(2) Identification of the interest of
the Requester which is affected by the
categorical Pretreatment Standard for
which the variance is requested;
(3) Identification of the POTW cur-
rently receiving the waste from the In-
dustrial User for which alternative dis-
charge limits are requested;
(4) Identification of the categorical
Pretreatment Standards which are ap-
plicable to the Industrial User;
(5) A list of each pollutant or pollut-
ant parameter for which an alternative
discharge limit is sought;
43
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.13
(6) The alternative discharge limits
proposed by the Requester for each pol-
lutant or pollutant parameter identi-
fied in paragraph (h)(5) of this section;
(7) A description of the Industrial
User’s existing water pollution control
facilities;
(8) A schematic flow representation
of the Industrial User’s water system
including water supply, process waste-
water systems, and points of Dis-
charge; and
(9) A Statement of facts clearly es-
tablishing why the variance request
should be approved, including detailed
support data, documentation, and evi-
dence necessary to fully evaluate the
merits of the request, e.g., technical
and economic data collected by the
EPA and used in developing each pol-
lutant discharge limit in the
Pretreatment Standard.
(i) Deficient requests. The Adminis-
trator (or his delegate) or the Director
will only act on written requests for
variances that contain all of the infor-
mation required. Persons who have
made incomplete submissions will be
notified by the Administrator (or his
delegate) or the Director that their re-
quests are deficient and unless the
time period is extended, will be given
up to thirty days to remedy the defi-
ciency. If the deficiency is not cor-
rected within the time period allowed
by the Administrator (or his delegate)
or the Director, the request for a vari-
ance shall be denied.
(j) Public notice. Upon receipt of a
complete request, the Administrator
(or his delegate) or the Director will
provide notice of receipt, opportunity
to review the submission, and oppor-
tunity to comment.
(1) The public notice shall be cir-
culated in a manner designed to inform
interested and potentially interested
persons of the request. Procedures for
the circulation of public notice shall
include mailing notices to:
(i) The POTW into which the Indus-
trial User requesting the variance dis-
charges;
(ii) Adjoining States whose waters
may be affected; and
(iii) Designated 208 planning agen-
cies, Federal and State fish, shellfish
and wildlife resource agencies; and to
any other person or group who has re-
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00044
40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
quested individual notice, including
those on appropriate mailing lists.
(2) The public notice shall provide for
a period not less than 30 days following
the date of the public notice during
which time interested persons may re-
view the request and submit their writ-
ten views on the request.
(3) Following the comment period,
the Administrator (or his delegate) or
the Director will make a determina-
tion on the request taking into consid-
eration any comments received. Notice
of this final decision shall be provided
to the requester (and the Industrial
User for which the variance is re-
quested if different), the POTW into
which the Industrial User discharges
and all persons who submitted com-
ments on the request.
(k) Review of requests by state. (1)
Where the Director finds that fun-
damentally different factors do not
exist, he may deny the request and no-
tify the requester (and Industrial User
where they are not the same) and the
POTW of the denial.
(2) Where the Director finds that fun-
damentally different factors do exist,
he shall forward the request, with a
recommendation that the request be
approved, to the Administrator (or his
delegate).
(l) Review of requests by EPA. (1)
Where the Administrator (or his dele-
gate) finds that fundamentally dif-
ferent factors do not exist, he shall
deny the request for a variance and
send a copy of his determination to the
Director, to the POTW, and to the re-
quester (and to the Industrial User,
where they are not the same).
(2) Where the Administrator (or his
delegate) finds that fundamentally dif-
ferent factors do exist, and that a par-
tial or full variance is justified, he will
approve the variance. In approving the
variance, the Administrator (or his del-
egate) will:
(i) Prepare recommended alternative
discharge limits for the Industrial User
either more or less stringent than
those prescribed by the applicable cat-
egorical Pretreatment Standard to the
extent warranted by the demonstrated
fundamentally different factors;
(ii) Provide the following informa-
tion in his written determination:
44
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
(A) The recommended alternative
discharge limits for the Industrial User
concerned;
(B) The rationale for the adjustment
of the Pretreatment Standard (includ-
ing the reasons for recommending that
the variance be granted) and an expla-
nation of how the recommended alter-
native discharge limits were derived;
(C) The supporting evidence sub-
mitted to the Administrator (or his
delegate); and
(D) Other information considered by
the Administrator (or his delegate) in
developing the recommended alter-
native discharge limits;
(iii) Notify the Director and the
POTW of his or her determination; and
(iv) Send the information described
in paragraphs (l)(2) (i) and (ii) of this
section to the Requestor (and to the In-
dustrial User where they are not the
same).
(m) Request for hearing. (1) Within 30
days following the date of receipt of
the notice of the decision of the Ad-
ministrator’s delegate on a variance re-
quest, the requester or any other inter-
ested person may submit a petition to
the Regional Administrator for a hear-
ing to reconsider or contest the deci-
sion. If such a request is submitted by
a person other than the Industrial User
the person shall simultaneously serve a
copy of the request on the Industrial
User.
(2) If the Regional Administrator de-
clines to hold a hearing and the Re-
gional Administrator affirms the find-
ings of the Administrator’s delegate
the requester may submit a petition
for a hearing to the Environmental Ap-
peals Board (which is described in § 1.25
of this title) within 30 days of the Re-
gional Administrator’s decision.

§ 403.14 Confidentiality.
(a) EPA authorities. In accordance
with 40 CFR part 2, any information
submitted to EPA pursuant to these
regulations may be claimed as con-
fidential by the submitter. Any such
claim must be asserted at the time of
submission in the manner prescribed
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00045
§ 403.15
on the application form or instruc-
tions, or, in the case of other submis-
sions, by stamping the words ‘‘con-
fidential business information’’ on each
page containing such information. If no
claim is made at the time of submis-
sion, EPA may make the information
available to the public without further
notice. If a claim is asserted, the infor-
mation will be treated in accordance
with the procedures in 40 CFR part 2
(Public Information).
(b) Effluent data. Information and
data provided to the Control Authority
pursuant to this part which is effluent
data shall be available to the public
without restriction.
(c) State or POTW. All other informa-
tion which is submitted to the State or
POTW shall be available to the public
at least to the extent provided by 40
CFR 2.302.
§ 403.15 Net/Gross calculation.
Categorical Pretreatment Standards
may be adjusted to reflect the presence
of pollutants in the Industrial User’s
intake water in accordance with this
section.
(a) Application. Any Industrial User
wishing to obtain credit for intake pol-
lutants must make application to the
Control Authority. Upon request of the
Industrial User, the applicable Stand-
ard will be calculated on a ‘‘net’’ basis
(i.e., adjusted to reflect credit for pol-
lutants in the intake water) if the re-
quirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of
this section are met.
(b) Criteria. (1) The Industrial User
must demonstrate that the control sys-
tem it proposes or uses to meet appli-
cable categorical Pretreatment Stand-
ards would, if properly installed and
operated, meet the Standards in the
absence of pollutants in the intake wa-
ters.
(2) Credit for generic pollutants such
as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
total suspended solids (TSS), and oil
and grease should not be granted un-
less the Industrial User demonstrates
that the constituents of the generic
measure in the User’s effluent are sub-
stantially similar to the constituents
of the generic measure in the intake
water or unless appropirate additional
45
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.16
limits are placed on process water pol-
lutants either at the outfall or else-
where.
(3) Credit shall be granted only to the
extent necessary to meet the applica-
ble categorical Pretreatment Stand-
ard(s), up to a maximum value equal to
the influent value. Additional moni-
toring may be necessary to determine
eligibility for credits and compliance
with Standard(s) adjusted under this
section.
(4) Credit shall be granted only if the
User demonstrates that the intake
water is drawn from the same body of
water as that into which the POTW
discharges. The Control Authority may
waive this requirement if it finds that
no environmental degradation will re-
sult.
(c) The applicable categorical
pretreatment standards contained in 40
CFR subchapter N specifically provide
that they shall be applied on a net
basis.

§ 403.16 Upset provision.
(a) Definition. For the purposes of
this section, Upset means an excep-
tional incident in which there is unin-
tentional and temporary noncompli-
ance with categorical Pretreatment
Standards because of factors beyond
the reasonable control of the Industrial
User. An Upset does not include non-
compliance to the extent caused by
operational error, improperly designed
treatment facilities, inadequate treat-
ment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
(b) Effect of an upset. An Upset shall
constitute an affirmative defense to an
action brought for noncompliance with
categorical Pretreatment Standards if
the requirements of paragraph (c) are
met.
(c) Conditions necessary for a dem-
onstration of upset. An Industrial User
who wishes to establish the affirmative
defense of Upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contempora-
neous operating logs, or other relevant
evidence that:
(1) An Upset occurred and the Indus-
trial User can identify the cause(s) of
the Upset;
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00046
40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
(2) The facility was at the time being
operated in a prudent and workman-
like manner and in compliance with
applicable operation and maintenance
procedures;
(3) The Industrial User has submitted
the following information to the POTW
and Control Authority within 24 hours
of becoming aware of the Upset (if this
information is provided orally, a writ-
ten submission must be provided with-
in five days):
(i) A description of the Indirect Dis-
charge and cause of noncompliance;
(ii) The period of noncompliance, in-
cluding exact dates and times or, if not
corrected, the anticipated time the
noncompliance is expected to continue;
(iii) Steps being taken and/or planned
to reduce, eliminate and prevent recur-
rence of the noncompliance.
(d) Burden of proof. In any enforce-
ment proceeding the Industrial User
seeking to establish the occurrence of
an Upset shall have the burden of
proof.
(e) Reviewability of agency consider-
ation of claims of upset. In the usual ex-
ercise of prosecutorial discretion,
Agency enforcement personnel should
review any claims that non-compliance
was caused by an Upset. No determina-
tions made in the course of the review
constitute final Agency action subject
to judicial review. Industrial Users will
have the opportunity for a judicial de-
termination on any claim of Upset only
in an enforcement action brought for
noncompliance with categorical
Pretreatment Standards.
(f) User responsibility in case of upset.
The Industrial User shall control pro-
duction or all Discharges to the extent
necessary to maintain compliance with
categorical Pretreatment Standards
upon reduction, loss, or failure of its
treatment facility until the facility is
restored or an alternative method of
treatment is provided. This require-
ment applies in the situation where,
among other things, the primary
source of power of the treatment facil-
ity is reduced, lost or fails.

§ 403.17 Bypass.
(a) Definitions. (1) Bypass means the
intentional diversion of wastestreams
46
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
from any portion of an Industrial
User’s treatment facility.
(2) Severe property damage means sub-
stantial physical damage to property,
damage to the treatment facilities
which causes them to become inoper-
able, or substantial and permanent loss
of natural resources which can reason-
ably be expected to occur in the ab-
sence of a bypass. Severe property
damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
(b) Bypass not violating applicable
Pretreatment Standards or Requirements.
An Industrial User may allow any by-
pass to occur which does not cause
Pretreatment Standards or Require-
ments to be violated, but only if it also
is for essential maintenance to assure
efficient operation. These bypasses are
not subject to the provision of para-
graphs (c) and (d) of this section.
(c) Notice. (1) If an Industrial User
knows in advance of the need for a by-
pass, it shall submit prior notice to the
Control Authority, if possible at least
ten days before the date of the bypass.
(2) An Industrial User shall submit
oral notice of an unanticipated bypass
that exceeds applicable Pretreatment
Standards to the Control Authority
within 24 hours from the time the In-
dustrial User becomes aware of the by-
pass. A written submission shall also
be provided within 5 days of the time
the Industrial User becomes aware of
the bypass. The written submission
shall contain a description of the by-
pass and its cause; the duration of the
bypass, including exact dates and
times, and, if the bypass has not been
corrected, the anticipated time it is ex-
pected to continue; and steps taken or
planned to reduce, eliminate, and pre-
vent reoccurrence of the bypass. The
Control Authority may waive the writ-
ten report on a case-by-case basis if the
oral report has been received within 24
hours.
(d) Prohibition of bypass. (1) Bypass is
prohibited, and the Control Authority
may take enforcement action against
an Industrial User for a bypass, unless;
(i) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent
loss of life, personal injury, or severe
property damage;
(ii) There were no feasible alter-
natives to the bypass, such as the use
of auxiliary treatment facilities, reten-

tion of untreated wastes, or mainte-
nance during normal periods of equip-
ment downtime. This condition is not
satisfied if adequate back-up equip-
ment should have been installed in the
exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which oc-
curred during normal periods of equip-
ment downtime or preventative main-
tenance; and
(iii) The Industrial User submitted
notices as required under paragraph (c)
of this section.
(2) The Control Authority may ap-
prove an anticipated bypass, after con-
sidering its adverse effects, if the Con-
trol Authority determines that it will
meet the three conditions listed in
paragraph (d)(1) of this section.

§ 403.18 Modification of POTW
pretreatment programs.
(a) General. Either the Approval Au-
thority or a POTW with an approved
POTW Pretreatment Program may ini-
tiate program modification at any
time to reflect changing conditions at
the POTW. Program modification is
necessary whenever there is a signifi-
cant change in the operation of a
POTW Pretreatment Program that dif-
fers from the information in the
POTW’s submission, as approved under
§ 403.11.
(b) Substantial modifications defined.
Substantial modifications include:
(1) Modifications that relax POTW
legal authorities (as described in
§ 403.8(f)(1)), except for modifications
that directly reflect a revision to this
Part 403 or to 40 CFR chapter I, sub-
chapter N, and are reported pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this section;
(2) Modifications that relax local lim-
its, except for the modifications to
local limits for pH and reallocations of
the Maximum Allowable Industrial
Loading of a pollutant that do not in-
crease the total industrial loadings for
the pollutant, which are reported pur-
suant to paragraph (d) of this section.
Maximum Allowable Industrial Load-
ing means the total mass of a pollutant
that all Industrial Users of a POTW (or
47
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 § 403.19
a subgroup of Industrial Users identi-
fied by the POTW) may discharge pur-
suant to limits developed under
§ 403.5(c);
(3) Changes to the POTW’s control
mechanism, as described in
§ 403.8(f)(1)(iii);
(4) A decrease in the frequency of
self-monitoring or reporting required
of industrial users;
(5) A decrease in the frequency of in-
dustrial user inspections or sampling
by the POTW;
(6) Changes to the POTW’s confiden-
tiality procedures; and
(7) Other modifications designated as
substantial modifications by the Ap-
proval Authority on the basis that the
modification could have a significant
impact on the operation of the POTW’s
Pretreatment Program; could result in
an increase in pollutant loadings at the
POTW; or could result in less stringent
requirements being imposed on Indus-
trial Users of the POTW.
(c) Approval procedures for substantial
modifications. (1) The POTW shall sub-
mit to the Approval Authority a state-
ment of the basis for the desired pro-
gram modification, a modified program
description (see § 403.9(b)), or such
other documents the Approval Author-
ity determines to be necessary under
the circumstances.
(2) The Approval Authority shall ap-
prove or disapprove the modification
based on the requirements of § 403.8(f)
and using the procedures in § 403.11(b)
through (f), except as provided in para-
graphs (c) (3) and (4) of this section.
The modification shall become effec-
tive upon approval by the Approval Au-
thority.
(3) The Approval Authority need not
publish a notice of decision under
§ 403.11(e) provided: The notice of re-
quest for approval under § 403.11(b)(1)
states that the request will be ap-
proved if no comments are received by
a date specified in the notice; no sub-
stantive comments are received; and
the request is approved without
change.
(4) Notices required by § 403.11 may be
performed by the POTW provided that
the Approval Authority finds that the
POTW notice otherwise satisfies the re-
quirements of § 403.11.

40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
(d) Approval procedures for non-sub-
stantial modifications. (1) The POTW
shall notify the Approval Authority of
any non-substantial modification at
least 45 days prior to implementation
by the POTW, in a statement similar
to that provided for in paragraph (c)(1)
of this section.
(2) Within 45 days after the submis-
sion of the POTW’s statement, the Ap-
proval Authority shall notify the
POTW of its decision to approve or dis-
approve the non-substantial modifica-
tion.
(3) If the Approval Authority does
not notify the POTW within 45 days of
its decision to approve or deny the
modification, or to treat the modifica-
tion as substantial under paragraph
(b)(7) of this section, the POTW may
implement the modification.
(e) Incorporation in permit. All modi-
fications shall be incorporated into the
POTW’s NPDES permit upon approval.
The permit will be modified to incor-
porate the approved modification in ac-
cordance with 40 CFR 122.63(g).

must notify the City in the event pro-
duction rates are expected to vary by
more than 20 percent from a baseline
production rate determined by
Owatonna when it establishes a Par-
ticipating Industrial User’s initial
mass limit. To remain eligible to re-
ceive equivalent mass limits the Par-
ticipating Industrial User must main-
tain at least the same level of treat-
ment as at the time the equivalent
mass limit is established. Upon notifi-
cation of a revised production rate
from a Participating Industrial User,
the City will reassess the appropriate-
ness of the mass limit. Owatonna shall
reestablish the concentration-based
limit if a Participating Industrial User
does not maintain at least the same
level of treatment as when the equiva-
lent mass limit was established.
(c) If a categorical Participating In-
dustrial User of the Owatonna Waste
Water Treatment Facility has dem-
onstrated through sampling and other
technical factors, including a compari-
son of three years of effluent data with
background data, that pollutants regu-
lated through categorical
Pretreatment Standards, other than 40
CFR part 414, are not expected to be
present in quantities greater than the
background influent concentration to
the industrial process, the City of
Owatonna may reduce the sampling
frequency specified in § 403.8(f)(2)(v) to
once during the term of the categorical
Participating Industrial User’s permit.
(d) If a Participating Industrial User
is discharging to the Owatonna Waste
Water Treatment Facility in
Owatonna, Minnesota and is subject to
a categorical Pretreatment Standard
other than one codified at 40 CFR part
414, the City of Owatonna may author-
ize the Participating Industrial User to
forego sampling of a pollutant if the
Participating Industrial User has dem-
onstrated through sampling and other
technical factors, including a compari-
son of three years of effluent data with
background data, that the pollutant is
not expected to be present in quan-
tities greater than the background in-
fluent concentration to the industrial
process, and the Participating Indus-
trial User certifies on each report, with
the following statement, that there has
been no increase in the pollutant in its

Participating Industrial User. The fol-
lowing statement is to be included as a
comment to the periodic reports re-
quired by § 403.12(e):
‘‘Based on my inquiry of the person or per-
sons directly responsible for managing com-
pliance with the pretreatment standard for
40 CFR ll, I certify that, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the raw materials, in-
dustrial processes, and potential by-products
have not contributed this pollutant to the

per day of nickel, and 1.01 pounds per
day of zinc, Owatonna may authorize a
categorical Participating Industrial
User to satisfy the reporting require-
ments of § 403.12(e) with an annual re-
port provided on a date specified by
Owatonna, provided that the Partici-
pating Industrial User has no reason-
able potential to violate a
Pretreatment Standard for any pollut-
ant for which reduced monitoring is
being allowed, and has not been in Sig-
nificant Noncompliance within the pre-
vious three years.

APPENDIX A TO PART 403—PROGRAM
GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
DECEMBER 16, 1975.
Program Guidance Memorandum—61
Subject: Grants for Treatment and Control
of Combined Sewer Overflows and
Stormwater Discharges.
From: John T. Rhett, Deputy Assistant Ad-
ministrator for Water Program Oper-
ations (WH–546).
To: Regional Administrators, Regions I–X.
This memorandum summarizes the Agen-
cy’s policy on the use of construction grants
for treatment and control of combined sewer
overflows and stormwater discharges during
wet-weather conditions. The purpose is to as-
sure that projects are funded only when care-
ful planning has demonstrated they are cost-
effective.
I. COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS
A. Background
The costs and benefits of control of various
portions of pollution due to combined sewer
VerDate Jan<31>2003 10:46 Jul 22, 2003 Jkt 200164 PO 00000 Frm 00050
40 CFR Ch. I (7–1–03 Edition)
overflows and by-passes vary greatly with
the characteristics of the sewer and treat-
ment system, the duration, intensity, fre-
quency and areal extent of precipitation, the
type and extent of development in the serv-
ice area, and the characteristics, uses and
water quality standards of the receiving wa-
bined sewer overflows, therefore, must be
made on a case-by-case basis after detailed
planning at the local level.
Where detailed planning has been com-
pleted, treatment or control of pollution
from wet-weather overflows and bypasses
may be given priority for construction grant
funds only after provision has been made for
secondary treatment of dry-weather flows in
the area. The detailed planning requirements
and criteria for project approval follow.
B. Planning Requirements
Construction grants may be approved for
control of pollution from combined sewer
overflows only if planning for the project
was thoroughly analyzed for the 20 year
planning period:
1. Alternative control techniques which
might be utilized to attain various levels of
pollution control (related to alternative ben-
eficial uses, if appropriate), including at
least initial consideration of all the alter-
natives described in the section on combined
sewer and stormwater control in ‘‘Alter-
native Waste Management Techniques and
Best Practicable Waste Treatment’’ (Section
C of Chapter III of the information proposed
for comment in March 1974).
2. The costs of achieving the various levels
of pollution control by each of the tech-
niques appearing to be the most feasible and
cost-effective after the preliminary analysis.
3. The benefits to the receiving waters of a
range of levels of pollution control during
wet-weather conditions. This analysis will
normally be conducted as part of State water
quality management planning, 208 areawide
management planning, or other State, re-
gional or local planning effort.
4. The costs and benefits of addition of ad-
vanced waste treatment processes to dry-
weather flows in the area.
C. Criteria for Project Approval
The final alternative selected shall meet
the following criteria:
1. The analysis required above has dem-
onstrated that the level of pollution control
provided will be necessary to protect a bene-
ficial use of the receiving water even after
technology based standards required by Sec-
tion 301 of Pub. L. 92–500 are achieved by in-
dustrial point sources and at least secondary
treatment is achieved for dry-weather mu-
nicipal flows in the area.
50
Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8002 Y:\SGML\200164T.XXX 200164T
 Environmental Protection Agency
2. Provision has already been made for
funding of secondary treatment of dry-
weather flows in the area.
3. The pollution control technique pro-
posed for combined sewer overflow is a more
cost-effective means of protecting the bene-
ficial use of the receiving waters than other
combined sewer pollution control techniques
and the addition of treatment higher than
secondary treatment for dry-weather munic-
ipal flows in the area.
4. The marginal costs are not substantial
compared to marginal benefits.
Marginal costs and benefits for each alter-
native may be displayed graphically to assist
with determining a project’s acceptability
under this criterion. Dollar costs should be
compared with quantified pollution reduc-
tion and water quality improvements. A de-
scriptive narrative should also be included
analyzing monetary, social and environ-
mental costs compared to benefits, particu-
larly the significance of the beneficial uses
to be protected by the project.
II. STORMWATER DISCHARGES
Approaches for reducing pollution from
separate stormwater discharges are now in
the early stages of development and evalua-
tion. We anticipate, however, that in many
cases the benefits obtained by construction
of treatment works for this purpose will be
small compared with the costs, and other
techniques of control and prevention will be
more cost-effective. The policy of the Agen-
cy is, therefore, that construction grants
shall not be used for construction of treat-
ment works to control pollution from sepa-
rate discharges of stormwater except under
unusual conditions where the project clearly
has been demonstrated to meet the planning
requirements and criteria described above
for combined sewer overflows.
III. MULTI-PURPOSE PROJECTS
Projects with multiple purposes, such as
flood control and recreation in addition to
pollution control, may be eligible for an
amount not to exceed the cost of the most
cost-effective single purpose pollution abate-
ment system. Normally the Separable Costs-
Remaining Benefits (SCRB) method should
be used to allocate costs between pollution
control and other purposes, although in un-
usual cases another method may be appro-
priate. For such cost allocation, the cost of
the least cost pollution abatement alter-
native may be used as a substitute measure
of the benefits for that purpose. The method
is described in ‘‘Proposed Practices for Eco-
nomic Analysis of River Basin Projects,’’
GPO, Washington, D.C., 1958, and ‘‘Efficiency
in Government through Systems Analysis,’’
by Roland N. McKean, John Wiley & Sons,
Inc., 1958.

Pt. 403, App. D
Enlargement of or otherwise adding to
combined sewer conveyance systems is one
means of reducing or eliminating flooding
caused by wet-weather conditions. These ad-
ditions may be designed so as to produce
some benefits in terms of reduced discharge
of pollutants to surrounding waterways. The
pollution control benefits of such flood con-
trol measures, however, are likely to be
small compared with the costs, and the
measures therefore would normally be ineli-
gible for funding under the construction
grants program.
All multi-purpose projects where less than
100% of the costs are eligible for construc-
tion grants under this policy shall contain a
special grant condition precluding EPA fund-
ing of non-pollution control elements. This
condition should, as a minimum, contain a
provision similar to the following:
‘‘The grantee explicitly acknowledges and
agrees that costs are allowable only to the
extent they are incurred for the water pollu-
tion control elements of this project.’’
Additional special conditions should be in-
cluded as appropriate to assure that the
grantee clearly understands which elements
of the project are eligible for construction
grants under Pub. L. 92–500.

APPENDIX D TO PART 403—SELECTED IN-
DUSTRIAL SUBCATEGORIES CONSID-
ERED DILUTE FOR PURPOSES OF THE
COMBINED WASTESTREAM FORMULA
The following industrial subcategories are
considered to have dilute wastestreams for
purposes of the combined wastestream for-
mula. They either were or could have been
excluded from categorical pretreatment
standards pursuant to paragraph 8 of the
Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., et
al. v. Costle Consent Decree for one or more
of the following four reasons: (1) The pollut-
ants of concern are not detectable in the ef-
fluent from the industrial user (paragraph
8(a)(iii)); (2) the pollutants of concern are
present only in trace amounts and are nei-
ther causing nor likely to cause toxic effects
(paragraph 8(a)(iii)); (3) the pollutants of
concern are present in amounts too small to
be effectively reduced by technologies known
to the Administrator (paragraph 8(a)(iii)); or
(4) the wastestream contains only pollutants
which are compatible with the POTW (para-
graph 8(b)(i)). In some instances, different
rationales were given for exclusion under
paragraph 8. However, EPA has reviewed
these subcategories and has determined that
exclusion could have occurred due to one of
the four reasons listed above.
This list is complete as of October 9, 1986.
It will be updated periodically for the con-
venience of the reader.

dominant slope of the field for the pur-
poses of slowing water runoff, enhanc-
ing water infiltration, and minimizing
the risk of any potential nutrients or
pollutants from leaving the field and
reaching surface waters.

 § 412.10
(3) Multi-year phosphorus application
means phosphorus applied to a field in
excess of the crop needs for that year.
In multi-year phosphorus applications,
no additional manure, litter, or process
wastewater is applied to the same land
in subsequent years until the applied
phosphorus has been removed from the
field via harvest and crop removal.
(c) Requirement to develop and imple-
ment best management practices. Each
CAFO subject to this section that land
applies manure, litter, or process
wastewater, must do so in accordance
with the following practices:
(1) Nutrient Management Plan. The
CAFO must develop and implement a
nutrient management plan that incor-
porates the requirements of paragraphs
(c)(2) through (c)(5) of this section
based on a field-specific assessment of
the potential for nitrogen and phos-
phorus transport from the field and
that addresses the form, source,
amount, timing, and method of appli-
cation of nutrients on each field to
achieve realistic production goals,
while minimizing nitrogen and phos-
phorus movement to surface waters.
(2) Determination of application rates.
Application rates for manure, litter,
and other process wastewater applied
to land under the ownership or oper-
ational control of the CAFO must min-
imize phosphorus and nitrogen trans-
port from the field to surface waters in
compliance with the technical stand-
ards for nutrient management estab-
lished by the Director. Such technical
standards for nutrient management
shall:
(i) Include a field-specific assessment
of the potential for nitrogen and phos-
phorus transport from the field to sur-
face waters, and address the form,
source, amount, timing, and method of
application of nutrients on each field
to achieve realistic production goals,
while minimizing nitrogen and phos-
phorus movement to surface waters;
and
(ii) Include appropriate flexibilities
for any CAFO to implement nutrient
management practices to comply with
the technical standards, including con-
sideration of multi-year phosphorus ap-
plication on fields that do not have a
high potential for phosphorus runoff to

surface water, phased implementation
of phosphorus-based nutrient manage-
ment, and other components, as deter-
mined appropriate by the Director.
(3) Manure and soil sampling. Manure
must be analyzed a minimum of once
annually for nitrogen and phosphorus
content, and soil analyzed a minimum
of once every five years for phosphorus
content. The results of these analyses
are to be used in determining applica-
tion rates for manure, litter, and other
process wastewater.
(4) Inspect land application equipment
for leaks. The operator must periodi-
cally inspect equipment used for land
application of manure, litter, or proc-
ess wastewater.
(5) Setback requirements. Unless the
CAFO exercises one of the compliance
alternatives provided for in paragraph
(c)(5)(i) or (c)(5)(ii) of this section, ma-
nure, litter, and process wastewater
may not be applied closer than 100 feet
to any down-gradient surface waters,
open tile line intake structures, sink-
holes, agricultural well heads, or other
conduits to surface waters.
(i) Vegetated buffer compliance alter-
native. As a compliance alternative, the
CAFO may substitute the 100-foot set-
back with a 35-foot wide vegetated
buffer where applications of manure,
litter, or process wastewater are pro-
hibited.
(ii) Alternative practices compliance al-
ternative. As a compliance alternative,
the CAFO may demonstrate that a set-
back or buffer is not necessary because
implementation of alternative con-
servation practices or field-specific
conditions will provide pollutant re-
ductions equivalent or better than the
reductions that would be achieved by
the 100-foot setback.

(a) The provisions of this part are ap-
plicable to process wastewater dis-
charges from all establishments or por-
tions of establishments that manufac-
ture the organic chemicals, plastics,
and synthetic fibers (OCPSF) products
or product groups covered by subparts
B through H of this regulation and are

(b) The provisions of this part are ap-
plicable to wastewater discharges from
OCPSF research and development,
pilot plant, technical service and lab-
oratory bench scale operations if such
operations are conducted in conjunc-
tion with and related to existing
OCPSF manufacturing activities at the
plant site.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of
this section, the provisions of this part
are not applicable to discharges result-
ing from the manufacture of OCPSF
products if the products are included in
the following SIC subgroups and have

(d) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of
this section, the provisions of this part
are not applicable to any discharges for
which a different set of previously pro-
mulgated effluent limitations guide-
lines and standards in this subchapter
apply, unless the facility reports
OCPSF products under SIC codes 2865,
2869, or 2821, and the facility’s OCPSF
wastewaters are treated in a separate
treatment system or discharged sepa-
rately to a publicly owned treatment
works.
(e) The provisions of this part do not
apply to any process wastewater dis-
charges from the manufacture of or-
ganic chemical compounds solely by
extraction from plant and animal raw
materials or by fermentation proc-
esses.
(f) Discharges of chromium, copper,
lead, nickel, and zinc in ‘‘complexed
metal-bearing waste streams,’’ listed in
appendix B of this part, are not subject
to the requirements of this part.
(g) Non-amenable cyanide. Discharges
of cyanide in ‘‘cyanide-bearing waste
streams’’ (listed in Appendix A to this
part) are not subject to the cyanide
limitations and standards of this part
if the permit writer or control author-
ity determines that the cyanide limita-
tions and standards are not achievable
due to elevated levels of non-amenable
cyanide (i.e., cyanide that is not
oxidized by chlorine treatment) that
result from the unavoidable
complexing of cyanide at the process

stream and establishes an alternative
total cyanide or amenable cyanide lim-
itation that reflects the best available
technology economically achievable.
The determination must be based upon
a review of relevant engineering, pro-
duction, and sampling and analysis in-
formation, including measurements of
both total and amenable cyanide in the
waste stream. An analysis of the ex-
tent of complexing in the waste
stream, based on the foregoing infor-
mation, and its impact on cyanide
treatability shall be set forth in writ-
ing and, for direct dischargers, be con-
tained in the fact sheet required by 40
CFR 124.8.
(h) Allowances for non-metal-bearing
waste streams. Discharge limitations for
chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and
zinc or discharge standards for lead and
zinc may be established for waste
streams not listed in Appendix A of
this part and not otherwise determined
to be ‘‘metal-bearing waste streams’’ if
the permit writer or control authority
determines that the wastewater metals
contamination is due to background
levels that are not reasonably avoid-
able from sources such as intake water,
corrosion of construction materials or
contamination of raw materials. The
determination must be based upon a re-
view of relevant plant operating condi-
tions, process chemistry, engineering,
and sampling and analysis information.
An analysis of the sources and levels of
the metals, based on the foregoing in-
formation, shall be set forth in writing;
for direct dischargers, the analysis
shall be contained in the fact sheet re-
quired by 40 CFR 124.8. For direct dis-
chargers, the permit writer may estab-
lish limitations for chromium, copper,
lead, nickel, and zinc for non-‘‘metal-
bearing waste streams’’ between the
lowest level which the permit writer
determines based on best professional
judgment can be reliably measured and
the concentrations of such metals
present in the wastestreams, but not to
exceed the applicable limitations con-
tained in §§ 414.91 and 414.101. (For zinc,
the applicable limitations which may
not be exceeded are those appearing in

the permit writer or control authority
by the process wastewater flow from
the individual wastestreams for which
incidental metals have been found to
be present.

(b) The average rate of production re-
ported by the owner or operator in ac-
cordance with 40 CFR 403.12(b)(3) shall
be based not upon the design produc-
tion capacity but rather upon a reason-
able measure of actual production of
the facility, such as the production
during the high month of the previous
year, or the monthly average for the
highest of the previous 5 years. For
new sources or new dischargers, actual
production shall be estimated using
projected production.
(c) If, due to a change of cir-
cumstances, the average rate of pro-
duction for an operation reported by
the owner or operator of the facility to
the Control Authority in accordance
with 40 CFR 403.12(b)(3) does not rep-
resent a reasonable measure of actual
production of that operation, the

§ 420.120 Applicability; description of
the hot coating subcategory.
(a) The provisions of this subpart are
applicable to discharges and to the in-
troduction of pollutants into publicly
owned treatment works resulting from
the operations in which steel is coated
with zinc, terne metal, or other metals
by the hot dip process, and those rins-
ing operations associated with that
process.
(b) The BPT and BAT limitations for
zinc set out below are not applicable to
hot coating operations with waste-
water treatment facilities achieving,
during periods of normal production,
zinc discharge levels more stringent
than those BPT and BAT limitations.
For such operations, the BPT and BAT
limitations for zinc shall be deter-
mined on a case-by-case basis based
upon the existing performance of the
wastewater treatment facility. The
permitting authority shall evaluate

§ 421.40 Applicability: Description of
the primary copper smelting sub-
category.
The provisions of this subpart apply
to process wastewater discharges re-
sulting from the primary smelting of
copper from ore or ore concentrates.
Primary copper smelting includes, but
is not limited to, roasting, converting,
leaching if preceded by a reduction attainable by the applica-
pyrometallurgical step, slag granula-
tion and dumping, fire refining, and the
casting of products from these oper-
ations.
§ 421.41 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the gen-
eral definitions, abbreviations, and
methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR
part 401 apply to this subpart.
(b) In the event that the waste
streams covered by this subpart are
combined for treatment or discharge
with waste streams covered by Sub-
parts E—Primary Electrolytic Copper
Refining and/or Subpart I—Metallur-
gical Acid Plants, the quantity of each
pollutant or pollutant property dis-
charged shall not exceed the quantity
of each pollutant or pollutant property
which could be discharged if each waste
stream were discharged separately.
(c) For all impoundments con-
structed prior to the effective date of
the interim final regulation (40 FR
8513), the term ‘‘within the impound-
ment,’’ when used to calculate the vol-
ume of process wastewater which may
be discharged, means the water surface
area within the impoundment at max-
imum capacity plus the surface area of
the inside and outside slopes of the im-
poundment dam as well as the surface
area between the outside edge of the
impoundment dam and any seepage
ditch adjacent to the dam upon which
rain falls and is returned to the im-
poundment. For the purpose of such
calculations, the surface area allow-
ances set forth above shall not exceed

structed on or after the effective date
of the interim final regulation (the in-
terim regulation was effective Feb-
ruary 27, 1975; 40 FR 8513, February 27,
1975), the term ‘‘within the impound-
ment,’’ for purposes of calculating the
volume of process wastewater which
may be discharged, means the water
surface area within the impoundment
at maximum capacity.
