(b) They may be superseded by more stringent limitations and standards necessary to achieve water quality standards or meet other legal requirements, or
NR 295.06(1)(c)
(c) They may be supplemented or superseded by standards or prohibitions for toxic pollutants or by additional limitations for other pollutants required to achieve water quality.
NR 295.06(2)

NR 295.11
NR 295.11 Effluent limitations, best available treatment. The following effluent limitations for all or specific subcategories establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a facility subject to the provisions of this chapter after application to process wastes of the best available technology economically achievable.
NR 295.11(1)
(1) For facilities in the beet sugar subcategory processing more than 2,300 tons (2,090 kkg) daily of sliced beets and located where the soil filtration rate, naturally or by deliberate design within the boundaries of waste water treatment or retention facilities, in available areas is more than 1/16-inch (0.159 cm) per day there shall be no discharge of process wastes to surface waters.
NR 295.11(2)
(2) For facilities in the sugar beet subcategory processing a smaller quantity of sliced beets than is set forth in
sub. (1) , and/or located where the soil filtration rate is less than set forth therein, the discharges shall be limited as set forth in
subs. (3) and
(4).
NR 295.11(3)
(3) For facilities subject to the provisions of this chapter other than
sub. (1) the pH limitations and the 30-day average and daily maximum limitations for BOD
