NR 279.52(3)(3) The provisions of s. NR 279.12 (3) apply to discharges of process wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a point source subject to the provisions of this subcategory. NR 279.52(4)(4) The quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this subsection, attributable to once-through cooling water, are excluded from the discharge allowed by sub.

NR 279.52(5)(5) The following effluent limitations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this subsection and attributable to contaminated runoff, which may be discharged after the application of the best practicable control technology currently available by a point source subject to this subcategory.

NR 279.52(5)(b)(b) If contaminated runoff is commingled or treated with process wastewater, or if wastewater consisting solely of contaminated runoff which exceeds 15 mg/l oil and grease or 110 mg/l TOC is not commingled or treated with any other type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged may not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of contaminated runoff as determined by the department times the concentrations listed in the following table: NR 279.52 Note1 In any case in which the applicant can demonstrate that the chloride ion concentration in the effluent exceeds 1,000 mg/l (1,000 ppm), the department may substitute TOC as a parameter in lieu of COD. A TOC effluent limitation shall be based on effluent data from the particular refinery which correlates TOC to BOD5. If in the judgment of the department, adequate correlation data are not available, the effluent limitations for TOC shall be established at a ratio of 2.2 to 1 to the applicable effluent limitations for BOD5.

NR 279.53 Note 40 CFR 122.45(b) reads as follows: The calculation of any permit limitations, standards, or prohibitions which are based on production (or other measure of operation) shall be based not upon the designed production capacity but rather upon a reasonable 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. The time period of the measure of production shall correspond to the time period of the calculated permit limitations; for example, monthly production shall be used to calculate average monthly discharge limitations.

NR 279.53(6)(b)(b) If contaminated runoff is commingled or treated with process wastewater, or if wastewater consisting solely of contaminated runoff which exceeds 110 mg/l TOC is not commingled or treated with any other type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged may not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of contaminated runoff as determined by the department times the concentrations listed in the following table: NR 279.53 Note1 In any case in which the applicant can demonstrate that the chloride ion concentration in the effluent exceeds 1000 mg/l (1000 ppm), the department may substitute TOC as a parameter in lieu of COD. A TOC effluent limitation shall be based on effluent data from the particular refinery which correlates TOC to BOD5. If in the judgment of the department, adequate correlation data are not available, the effluent limitations for TOC shall be established at a ratio of 2.2 to 1 to the applicable effluent limitations for BOD5.
