NR 237.05(2)(b)2.2. The 30-day maximum cyanide limitation is multiplied by 0.35; and
NR 237.05(2)(b)3.3. The daily and 30-day maximum cyanide limitations are further adjusted according to the ratio of the flow of the waste streams containing cyanide to the total process wastewater discharge flow.
NR 237.05(2)(c)(c) If all waste streams containing cyanide are not treated in a cyanide destruction unit or if the effluent from the cyanide destruction unit is not discharged to a biological treatment system, self monitoring shall be conducted at the final effluent discharge point as provided in par. (b).
NR 237.05(3)(3) Discharges to a publicly owned treatment works. The following requirements are applicable to any facility which discharges to a POTW and which uses or generates cyanide:
NR 237.05(3)(a)(a) If all waste streams containing cyanide are diverted to a cyanide destruction unit, self monitoring shall be conducted after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other streams, except as provided in par. (b).
NR 237.05(3)(b)(b) Self monitoring may be conducted at the final effluent discharge point if the daily and 30-day maximum cyanide standards are adjusted according to the ratio of the flow of the waste streams containing cyanide to the total process wastewater discharge flow.
NR 237.05(3)(c)(c) If all waste streams containing cyanide are not treated, self monitoring shall be conducted at the final effluent discharge point as provided in par. (b).

NR 237.08(2)(2) Biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand.
NR 237.08(2)(a)(a) Except as provided in par. (c), the limitation for the daily average mass of BOD5 and COD for any calendar month shall be calculated by multiplying the long term daily average raw waste load by a variability factor and the difference between 1 and the required fractional reduction as given in the following table:
NR 237.08(2)(b)(b) The limitations for BOD5 and COD shall be expressed in mass per unit time.
NR 237.08(2)(c)(c) Extraction operations and mixing, compounding, and formulation operations are not required to reduce the maximum 30-day average BOD5 concentration to less than 45 mg/l or reduce the maximum 30-day average COD concentration to less than 220 mg/l.
NR 237.08(2)(d)(d)
NR 237.08(2)(d)1.1. For fermentation operations, calculation of raw waste loads of BOD5 and COD shall exclude any waste load associated with separable mycelia and solvents in those waste loads, except that residual amounts of solvents remaining after solvent recovery, separate disposal, or reuse may be included in the raw waste load. Removal, disposal, and reuse includes physical separation and removal of separable mycelia, recovery of solvents from waste streams, incineration of concentrated solvent waste streams, incineration of tar still bottoms, and broth concentration for disposal other than to the treatment system.
