1. Legal Authority

This regulation is promulgated underthe authority of sections 301, 304, 306,307, 308, and 501 of the Clean Water Act(the Federal Water Pollution Control ActAmendments of 1972, 33 USC 1251 etseq., as amended by the Clean WaterAct of 1977, P.L. 95-217), also called the"Act". It is also promulgated in responseto the Settlement Agreement in NaturalResources Defense Council, Inc. v.Train, 8 ERC 2120 (D.D.C. 1976),modified, 12 ERC 1833 (D.D.C. 1979).

I. Scope of This Rulemaking and PriorRegulations

This regulation applies to the pulp,paper, and paperboard and the builders'paper and board mills point sourcecategories (hereafter known as the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry) whichare included within the U.S. Departmentof Commerce, Bureau of the CensusStandard Industrial Classifications (SIC)2611 (pulp mills), 2621 (paper millsexcept building paper mills), 2631(paperboard mills), and 2661 (buildingpaper and building board mills.).

A. Prior Regulations

EPA promulgated BPT, BAT, NSPS,and PSNS for the builders' paper androofing felt subcategory of the builders'paper and board mills point sourcecategory on May 9, 1974 (39 FR 16578; 40CFR Part 431). EPA promulgated BPT,BAT, NSPS, and PSNS for theunbleached kraft, sodium-based neutralsulfite semi-chemical, ammonia-basedneutral sulfite semi-chemical,unbleached kraft-neutral sulfite semi-chemical (cross recovery), andpaperboard from wastepapersubcategories of the pulp, paper, andpaperboard point source category onMay 29, 1974 (39 FR 18742; 40 CFR Part430). EPA promulgatedBPT for thedissolving kraft, market bleached kraft,BCT (board, coarse, and tissue)bleached kraft, fine bleached kraft,papergrade sulfite (blow pit wash),dissolving sulfite pulp, groundwood-thermo-mechanical, groundwood-CMNpapers, groundwood-fine papers, soda,deink, nonintegrated-fine papers,nonintegrated-tissue papers, tissue fromwastepaper, and papergrade sulfite(drum wash) subcategories of the pulp,paper, and paperboard point sourcecategory on January 6, 1977 (42 FR 1398;40 CFR Part 430).

Several industry members challengedthe regulations promulgated on May 29,1974, and on January 6, 1977. These

No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52007

challenges were heard in the District ofColumbia Circuit Court of Appeals. Thepromulgated regulations were upheld intheir entirety with one exception. TheAgency was ordered to reconsider theBPT BOD5 limitation'for acetate gradepulp production in the dissolving sulfitepulp subcategory (WeyerhauserCompany, et a]. v. Castle, 590 F. 2nd1011; D.C. Circuit 1978). In response tothis remand, the Agency proposed BPTregulations for acetate grade pulpproduction in the dissolving sulfite pulpsubcategory on March 12, 1980 (45 FR15952). The Agency is currentlyassessing the costs and economicimpacts associated with attainment ofthe proposed BPT limitation.Promulgation of this rule will occur at alater date.

EPA published proposed effluentlimitations guidelines for BAT, BCT,NSPS, PSES, and PSNS for the pulp,paper, and paperboard and the builders'paper and board mills point sourcecategories in the Federal Register onJanuary 6,1981 (46 FR 1430). At the timeof proposal, the subcategorizationscheme was modified to include 25subcategories in the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry.

With the few exceptions discussedbelow, the Agency is not modifying thepreviously promulgated BPT limitationsfor Subparts A through U. However, inorder to publish a complete set of allapplicable requirements, the BPTlimitations already in effect arereprinted in today's rule. The onlychange is that a new format is beingused. Because this is not a substantivechange, existing BPT limitations forSubparts A through U are not subject tolegal challenge.

The 25 subcategories of the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry (40 CFRParts 430 and 431) are as follows:40 CFR Part 430" Subpart F-dissolving kraft," Subpart G-market bleached kraft,* Subpart H-board, coarse, and tissue

(BCT) bleached kraft," Subpart I-fine bleached kraft," Subpart P-soda," Subpart A-unbleached kraft," Subpart B-semi-chemical," Subpart V-unbleached kraft and semi-

chemical (BPT limitations for some millsin this subcategory are included insubpart D-unbleached kraft-neutralsulfite semi-chemical (cross recovery)),

* "Subpart K-dissolving sulfite pulp," Subpart J-papergrade sulfite (blow pit

wash)," Subpart U-papergrade sulfite (drum

wash)," Subpart L-groundwood-chemi-

mechanical," Subpart M-groundwood-thermo-

mechanical,

" Subpart N-groundwood-coarse, molded,and news (CMN) papers,

" Subpart 0-groufidwood-fine papers," Subpart Q-deink,," Subpart E-paperboard from wastepaper," Subpart T-tissue from wastepaper," Subpart W-wastepaper-molded products," Subpart R-nonintegrated-fine papers," Subpart S-nonintegrated-tissue papers," Subpart X-nonintegrated-lightweight

papers," Subpart Y-nonintegrated-filter and

nonwoven papers, and," Subpart Z-nonintegrated-paperboard.

40 CFR Part 431S Subpart A-builders' paper and roofing

felt.

B. Scope of This Rulemaking

BPT effluent limitations areestablished for four new subcategoriesof 40 CFR Part 430:" Subpart W-wastepaper-molded products,* Subpart X-nonintegrated-lightweight

papers," Subpart Y-nonintegrated-filter and

nonwoven papers, and" Subpart Z-nonintegrated-paperboardand for new subdivisions of thefollowing subcategories of 40 CFR Part430:" Subpart E-paperboard from wastepaper" Subpart R-nonintegrated-fine papers.

These limitations control threeconventional pollutants (biochemicaloxygen demand (BOD5), TSS, and pH).The technology basis of BPT isbiological treatment for the wastepaper-molded products, nonintegrated-finepapers, and paperboard fromwastepaper subcategories and primarytreatment for the remainingsubcategories.

BAT limitations are estalished for 24of the 25 subcategories. Toxic pollutantscontrolled are pentachlorophenol [PCP)and trichlorophenol (TCP) in allsubcategories, and zinc, additionally, inthe three groundwood subcategories.The technology basis for control of thesepollutants is chemical substitution (PCPand TCP) and lime precipitation (zinc).

NSPS are established for allsubcategories and control the toxicsregulated under BAT (PCP, TCP, andzinc) and the conventional pollutantsBOD5, total suspended solids (TSS), andpH. NSPS are based on chemicalsubstitution for removal of toxicpollutants and the application ofcommonly employed production processcontrols and either biological or primarytreatment.

Pretreatment standards for existingand new sources are being promulgatedfor PCP, TCP, and zinc based onchemical substitution. Existing indirectdischarging mills must be in compliancewith PSES on or before July 1, 1984.

III. Summary of Legal Background

The Federal Water Pollution ControlAct Amendments of 1972 established acomprehensive program to "restore andmaintain the chemical, physical, andbiological integrity of the Nation'swaters" (Section 101(a)). To implementthe Act, EPA was to issue effluentlimitations guidelines, pretreatmentstandards, and new source performancestandards for industrial dischargers. TheAct included a timetable for issuingthese standards. However, EPA wasunable to meet many of the deadlinesand, as a result, in 1976, it was sued byseveral environmental groups. In settlingthis lawsuit, EPA and the plaintiffsexecuted a court approved "SettlementAgreement." This Agreement required -

EPA to develop a program and adhere toa schedule in promulgating effluentlimitations guidelines, new sourceperformance standards, andpretreatment standards for 65 "priority"or toxic pollutants and classes ofpollutants for 21 major industries (seeNatural Resources Defense Council, Inc.v. Train, 8 ERC 2120 (D.D.C. 1976),modified, 12 ERC 1833 (D*D.C. 1979)).The 65 toxic pollutants and classes ofpollutants potentially include thousandsof specific pollutants. EPA selected 129specific toxic pollutants for study in thisrulemaking and other industryrulemakings. Since initiation of thisrulemaking effort, three toxic pollutantshave been removed from the list of 129toxic pollutants:dichlorodifluoromethane,trichlorofluoromethane, and bis-chloromethyl ether (46 FR 2266 and 46FR 10723).

Many of the basic elements of thisSettlement Agreement program wereincorporated into the Clean Water Actof 1977. Like the Agreement, the Actstressed control of the 65 classes oftoxic pollutants. In addition, tostrengthen the toxic control program,Section 304(e) of the Act authorizes theAdministrator to prescribe "bestmanagement practices" (BMPs) toprevent the release of toxic and -

hazardous polliitants from plant siterunoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or wastedisposal, and drainage from rawmaterial storage associated with, orancillary to, the manufacturing ortreatment process.

Under the Act, the EPA program is toset a number of different kinds ofeffluent limitations and standards.These are discussed in detail in theproposed regulation and DevelopmentDocument. The following is a briefsummary:

Federal Register / Vol. 47,

52008 Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 I Rules and Regulations

1. Best Practicable ControlTechnology Currently Available (BPT).BPT limitations are generally based onthe average of the best existingperformance at plants of various sizes,ages, and unit processes within theindustry or subcategory. In establishingBPT limitations, the Agency considersthe total cost of applying the technologyin relation to the effluent reductionderived, the age of equipment andfacilities involved, the processemployed, the engineering aspects of thecontrol technologies, process changes,and non-water quality environmentalimpacts (including energy requirements).We balance the total cost of applyingthe technology against the effluentreduction.

2. Best Available TechnologyEconomically Achievable (BAT). BATlimitations, in general, represent the bestexisting performance in the industrialsubcategory or category. The Actestablishes BAT as the principalnational means of controlling the directdischarge of toxic and nonconventionalpollutants to navigable waters. Inarriving at BAT, the Agency considersthe age of the equipment ahd facilitiesinvolved, the process employed, theengineering aspects of the controltechnologies, process changes, the costof achieving such effluent reduction, andnon-water quality environmentalimpacts. The administrator retainsconsiderable discretion in assigning theweight to be accorded these factors.

3. Best Conventional Pollutant ControlTechnology (BCT). The 1977Amendments added Section 301(b)(2)(E)to the Act establishing "bestconventional pollutant controltechnology" (BCT) for discharges ofconventional pollutants from existingindustrial point sources. Conventionalpollutants are thos defined in Section304(a)(4) [biological oxygen demandingpollutants (BOD5) total suspendedsolids (TSS), fecal coliform, and pH],and any additional pollutants defined bythe Administrator as "conventional" [oiland grease; 44 FR 44501, July 30, 1979].

BCT is not an additional limitation butreplaces BAT for the control ofconventional pollutants. In addition toother factors specified in section304(b)(4)(B), the Act requires that BCTlimitations be assessed in light of a twopart "cost-reasonableness" test.American Paper Institute v. EPA, 660F.2d 954 (4th Cir. 1981). The first testcompares the cost for private industry toreduce its conventional pollutants withthe costs to publicly owned treatmentworks (POTWs) for similar levels ofreduction in their discharge of thesepollutants. The second test examines the

cost-effectiveness of additionalindustrial treatment beyond BPT. EPAmust find that limitations are"reasonable" under both tests beforeestablishing them as BCT. In no casemay BCT be less stringent than BPT.

EPA published its methodology forcarrying out the BCT analysis on August29, 1979 (44 FR 50732). In the casementioned above, the Court of Appealsordered EPA to correct data errorsunderlying EPA's calculation of the firsttest, and to apply the second cost test.(EPA had argued that a second cost testwas not required.) EPA has recentlyproposed a revised BCT methodology inresponse to the American PaperInstitute v. EPA decision mentionedearlier. This included a reproposal ofBCT limitations for the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry.

4. New Source Performance Standards(NSPS). NSPS are based on the bestavailable demonstrated technology.New plants have the opportunity toinstall the best and most efficientproduction processes and wastewatertreatment technologies.

5. Pretreatment Standards for ExistingSources (PSES). PSES are designed tocontrol the discharge of pollutants thatpass through, interfere with, or areotherwise incompatible with theoperation of a publicly owned treatmentworks (POTWs). The Act requires thatPSES shall specify a time for compliancenot to exceed three years from the dateof promulgation. The Clean Water Actof 1977 requires pretreatment for toxicpollutants that pass through the POTWin amounts that would violate directdischarger effluent limitations orinterfere with the POVTW's treatmentprocess Or chosen sludge disposalmethod. The legislative history of the1977 Act indicates that pretreatmentstandards are to be technology-based,analogous to the best availabletechnology. EPA has generallydetermined that there is pass through ofpollutants if the percent of pollutantsremoved by a well-operated POTWachieving secondary treatment is lessthan the percent removed by the BATmodel treatment system. The generalpretreatment regulations, which servedas the framework for the categoricalpretreatment regulations, are found at 40CFR Part 403 (43 FR 27736, June 26, 1978;46 FR 9462, January 28, 1981).

6. Pretreatment Standards for NewSources (PSNS). Like PSES, PSNScontrol the discharge of pollutantswhich pass through, interfere with, orare otherwise incompatible with theoperation of POTWs. PSNS are issued atthe same time as NSPS. New indirectdischargers, like new direct dischargers,

have the opportunity to incorporate thebest available demonstrated -technologies. The Agency considers thesame factors in promulgating PSNS as itconsiders in promulgating PSES.

IV. Summary of Methodology and DataGathering Efforts

The methodology and data gatheringefforts used in developing the proposedregulation were discussed in thepreamble to the proposal (46 FR 1430,January 6, 1981). In summary, beforepublishing the proposed regulation in1981, the Agency conducted a datacollection, analytical screening, andanalytical verification program for thepulp, paper, and paperboard industry.This program stressed the acquisition ofdata on the presence and-treatability ofthe 129 toxic pollutants and classes oftoxic pollutants discussed previously.

Based on the results of that program,EPA identified several distinct controland treatment technologies, includingboth in-plant and end-of-pipetechnologies that are in use or are.capable of being used to treat pulp,paper, and paperboard industrywastewaters. For each of thesetechnologies, the Agency (i) compiledand analyzed historical and newly-generated data on effluent quality, (ii)identified the reliability and constraints,(iii) considered the non-water qualityenvironmental impacts (includingimpacts on air quality, solid wastegeneration, and energy requirements),and (iv) estimated the costs andeconomic impacts of applying thetechnology as a treatment and controlsystem. Costs and economic impacts ofthe technology options considered arediscussedin detail in Economic ImpactAnalysis of Effluent LimitationsGuidelines and New SourcePerformance Standards for the Pulp,Paper, and Paperboard and Builders'Paper and Board Mills Point SourceCategories (U.S. EPA, October 1982). Amore complete description of theAgency's study methodology, datagathering efforts and analyticalprocedures supporting the regulationcan be found in Final DevelopmentDocument for Effluent LimitationsGuidelines, New Source PerformanceStandards, and Pretreatment Standardsfor the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard andBuilders' Paper and Board Mills PointSource Categories (U.S. EPA, October1982).

To allow the Agency to respond fullyto comments on the proposed rules, theAgency engaged in additional datagathering activities since January of1981. EPA obtained additional data onthe presence and variability of toxic

52008 Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations

Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52009

pollutants in raw wastes and treatedeffluents by conducting a long-term (23week) sampling and analysis program ata deink and a fine bleached kraft mi21.Data for the deink mill are being used tosupport the PCB effluent limitations andNSPS being proposed today. The datafor the-fine bleached kraft mill weregathered to investigate further thevariability of biological treatment inremoving chloroform; however, asdescribed herein, EPA decided towithdraw the proposed chloroformlimitations.

EPA also obtained [1) dischargemonitoring reports (DMR) from Regionaland State permitting authorities toupdate its records to include the mostrecent available data and [2);additionalconventional pollutant data under theauthority of Section 308 to broaden andupdate our existing data base on thevariability associated with wastewatertreatment systems. These data, as wellas data on PCP and TCP that becameavailable during the PCB/chloroformsampling, were used to verify theaccuracy of the analyses done prior toproposal. Accordingly, EPA concludedthat it was unnecessary to providenotice and seek comment on theadditional data.

Industry, in some cases, providedcomments on our proposed regulationsthat included effluent data on thedischarge of toxic pollutants. In maiycases, data were provided in a formatthat did not allow for proper analysis bythe Agency. In those instances, werequested additional information in aformat that would allow us to includethe date when developing the finalregulations.

Detailed discussions of the results ofthese additional data gathering effortscan be found below and in the finalDevelopment Document.

V. Summary of Promulgated Regulationand Changes From Proposal

The final regulations issued todaydiffer from the proposed regulations.The changes are the result of theAgency's review of comments on theproposal and our analysis of additionalinformation obtained to respond tocomments. The following includes areview of the proposed regulation, asummary of the changes from proposalto promulgation, and an explanation ofthe changes.

EPA is promulgating BPT effluentlimitations and new source performancestandards- controlling the discharge ofthree conventional pollutants: BOD5,TSS, and pH. We are also establishingBAT effluent limitations, NSPS, PSESand PSNS for control of three toxic

pollutants: trichlorophenol (TCP),pentachlorophenol (PCP), and zinc.

A. Subcategorization

As discussed previously, on January 6,1981, the Agency proposed effluentlimitations and standards for 24subcategories of the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry (46 FR 1430). Witha few exceptions (discussed below andin Section XIII: Public Participation-Responses to Major Comments),comments received on the proposalwere supportive of the proposedsubcategorization scheme. With the twoexceptions discussed below, the finalsubcategorization scheme is identical tothe proposed subcategorization scheme.

Comments were received on theproposed NSPS that suggested that thepaperboard from wastepapersubcategory should be segmented toaccount for differences in raw wasteloads resulting from the production ofwastepaper board from recycledcorrugating medium versus other typesof wastepapers. Industry commentersprovided data that confirmed thatpaperboard from wastepaper millswhere corrugated furnish is processedhave experienced higher BOD5 rawwaste loads today than when BPT waspromulgated for the entire subcategory.At that time, the average raw wasteload BOD5 for mills processing 100percent corrugating furnish was 22.4 lb/-ton. However, representatives of twomills where 100 percent corrugatingfurnish is processed submitted dataindicating that the average BOD5Tawwaste load has increased from about 20lb/ton in 1976 to 46.0 lb/ton. Theyprovided additional supportive data onthe quantity of extractable BOD5 nowpresent in waste corrugating medium.

Based on these data, the Agencyconcluded that segmentation of thepaperboard from wastepapersubcategory is justified not only forNSPS but for all regulations andstandards. We are modifying theexisting BPT regulation and areestablishing BAT effluent limitations,NSPS, PSES, and PSNS to account forthe use of corrugating medium in thissubcategory. This means that lessstringent BPT effluent limitations thanare currently in effect will apply toexisting direct discharging mills in thepaperboard from wastepapersubcategory where recycled corrugatingmedium is processed.

Comments were also received on theproposed BCT limitations and NSPS thatsuggested that the nonintegrated-finepapers subcategory should besegmented to account for the higher rawwaste loadings typical of smallnonintegrated4ine paper mills (less than

100 tons per day of product) or millswhere cotton fibers are used as furnish.Other commenters complained that theproposal was unclear as to whethernonintegrated mills where fine papersare produced from both wood pulp andcotton fibers were included in thenonintegrated-fine papers subcategory.Some requested that EPA establishlimitations for these cotton fiber mills ona case-by-case basis and exclude themfrom the nonintegrated-fine paperssubcategory.

In response to these comments, theAgency reexamined thesubcategorization scheme for thenonintegrated segment of this industryand evaluated all available data fornonintegrated mills where fine papersare produced. We found that millswhere a significant quantity of cottonfibers are contained in the product(equal to or greater than four percent ofthe total product) had an average rawwaste flow of 33.6 kgal/ton and anaverage BOD5 raw waste load of 39.3lb/ton. Mills where a cotton fiberfurnish is not used had an average rawwaste flow of 9.1 l gal/ton and anaverage BOD5 raw waste load of 21.6lb/ton. Therefore, we concluded thatmills using a significant quantity ofcotton fibers in their total furnish aresubstantially different from other millswhere only wood pulp is processed andare establishing a separate cotton fiberssubdivision of the nonintegrated-finepapers subcategory.

We are modifying the existing BPTregulation applicable to thenonintegrated-fine papers subcategoryand are establishing BAT effluentlimitations, NSPS, PSES, and PSNS toaccount for the use of cotton fibers inthe production of fine papers atnonintegrated paper mills. This meansthat less stringent effluent limitationsand standards will apply to mills -in thenonintegrated-fine papers subcategorywhere a significant quantity of cottonfibers are used in the raw materialfurnish than will apply to mills wherecotton fibers are not used in the rawmaterial furnish. Because we havesufficient data to -establish uniformnational standards and limitations forthis subcategory subdivision, werejected the suggestion to rely on case-by-case limitations.

The Agency investigated industry'sother comment that small mills havehigher raw waste characteristics than theother mills in the subcategory. Weremoved those nonintegrated fine papermills where cotton fibers constitute asignificant portion of the total productfrom the data base since they are now aseparatesubdivision of this subcategory

52010 Federal Register I Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and 1 ulations

and are subject to different effluentlimitations. (All of the cotton fiber millsproduce less than 100 tons of fine papersper day.) The remaining mills wereseparated into two groups: (a) millswhere more than 100 tons of paper perday are produced, and (b) mills whereless than 100 tons of paper per day areproduced. We found that rawwasteloads for both groups are substantiallythe same. Therefore, no furthersubcategorization based on size iswarranted.

EPA has determined that there is goodcause not to propose thesesubcategorization changes since theywere made in response to publiccomments on the January 1981 proposalconcerning raw waste loadcharacteristics at mills in the newsubdivisions. Further, were EPA hot tomake these changes, the new regulationswould result in BPT limitations that aremore stringent than N§PA.B. BPT Effluent Limitations and NSPSfor Control of Conventional Pollutants

1. BPT Effluent Limitations. BPTeffluent limitations controlling BOD5,TSS, and pH were proposed for fournew subcategories: the wastepaper-molded products, nonintegrated-lightweight papers, nonintegrated-filterand nonwoven papers, andnonintegrated-paperboard subcategories(46 FR 1430, January 6, 1981]. Theproposed BPT technology basis wasidentified as biological treatment for thewastepaper-molded productssubcategory and as primary clarificationfor the three nonintegratedsubcategories. Comments supported theproposed BPT limitations for the fournew subcategories; therefore, final BPTlimitations are the same'as proposed.EPA estimates that attainment of BPTeffluent limitations will result in theremoval of 37.5 million pounds per yearof conventional pollutants from rawwaste discharges in these foursubcategories at a total annual cost of"$2.6 million per year (1982 dollars). Noplant closures or other adverseeconomic impacts are expected. Thus,EPA concluded that the effluentreduction benefits justify these costs.

As discussed previously, EPA isestablishing new subdivisions of thepaperboard from wastepaper andnonintegrated-fine papers subcategories.We are, therefore, modifying theexisting BPT regulations for these twosubcategories to account for the'use ofcorrugating medium in the production ofpaperboard from wastepaper and theuse of cotton fibers in the production offine papers at nonintegrated paper mills.The Agency anticipates that there willbe no costs associated with the modified

BPT effluent limitations for these twosubcategories. As discussed previously,we are relaxing the BPT effluentlimitations that previously applied tomills in the paperboard from wastepapersubcategory where recycled corrugatingmedium is processed. Additionally,existing permits at the two directdischarging mills in the cotton fibersubdivision of the nonintegrated-finepapers subcategory are more stringentthan the BPT effluent limitationspromulgated today.

2. NSPS. NSPS were proposed forcontrol of the conventional pollutantsBOD5, TSS, and pH. The technologybasis of the proposed NSPS wascommonly employed in-plant productionprocess control technologies plus theapplication of end-of-pipe treatment ofthe type that formed the basis of BPTeffluent limitations (i.e., biologicaltreatment or primary clarification). Theproposed limitations were generally'determined by multiplying (a) typicalwastewater flows for new sources ineach subcategory and (b) effluentconcentrations determined fromanalysis of control technologyperformance data. (A detaileddiscussion of the proposed methodologyis included in the preamble to theproposed regulation and in thedevelopment document supporting theproposed rules.)

Some commenters stated that NSPSwere too lenient and should be based onin-plant controls, biological treatment,and chemically assisted clarification(CAC). Other conunenters challengedthe proposed NSPS methodology. Theyasserted that combining effluentconcentrations from one set of millswith flows from a different set results inlimitations that cannot be achieved atexisting mills in many subcategories,particularly in the integrated millssegment. A major concern was that EPAignored the increase in BOD5 raw wasteconcentration that occurs in somesubcategories when raw waste flow isreduced, thereby underestimating thefinal effluent concentrations that can beattained through the application of end-of-pipe treatment. They felt that theAgency should establish NSPS equal tothe average of final effluent levelsattained by at least two of the "bestperformers" in each subcategory.

The Agency has rejected the option ofbasing NSPS on CAC. The application ofin-plant production process controls andprimary or biological treatment (thetechnology basis of the proposed andfinal NSPS) is very effective incontrolling conventional pollutantdischarges in this industry. Theapplication of chemically assisted

clarification would further increase theremoval of conventional pollutants byabout 3 percent. However, because ofthe relatively high concentrations ofaluminum sulfate required to obtaineffective coagulation. chemicallyassisted clarification generates over 20percent more wastewater solidscompared to wastewater solidsgenerated in attaining final NSPS. It islikely that this increment of wastewatersolids.will have to be landfilled becausethe solids will contain substantialquantities of aluminum sulfate that willminimize alternative sludge uses. Even ifincinerated, significant quantities ofsolids will remain in the form of ash thatmust be disposed. The Agency does notbelieve that the incremental removal ofconventional pollutants is justified inlight of the non-water qualityimplications of chemically assistedclarification.

With respect to the second set ofcomments, the Agency recognizes thatfinal NSPS are not now attained atexisting mills in every subcategory ofthe integrated mills segment. However,final NSPS have already been attainedat existing integrated mills where eachof the major pulping processes areemployed. As discussed below, EPAbelieves that all new sources can meetthe final NSPS and that the technologybasis of final NSPS is demonstrated.

Final NSPS, like proposed NSPS, arebased on commonly employedproduction process controls and end-of-pipe treatment of the type that forms thebasis of BPT effluent limitations (eitherprimary or biological treatment).However, the Agency has modified themethodology used at proposal todetermine the conventional pollutantfinal effluent loadings that result fromapplication of these technologies.

EPA has now considered a broaderset of mills in determining the raw wasteflow and BOD5 reductions that willresult from application of in-plantproduction process controls. The rawwaste flows that form the basis of finalNSPS have been demonstrated at millsin every subcategory of the pulp, paper,and paperboard industry. The BOD5 rawwaste loads that form the basis of finalNSPS have been attained in 23 of the 24regulated subcategories. We have alsoadjusted our method of calculatingattainable effluent concentrations ofBOD5 and TSS to account for thosesituations where BOD5 raw wasteconcentrations increase after theapplication of in-plant productionprocess controls. These modificationsresult in final NSPS that are lessstringent than if the proposedmethodology were used. (This revised

52010 Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Rk . ulations

Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 J1 Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52011

methodology is discussed in detail inSection VIII of the DevelopmentDocument.)

The end-of-pipe treatment systemsthat form the basis of final NSPS are thesame type as those commonly employedto comply with BPT effluent limitationsbut are considerably larger, especially inthe integrated segment. Therefore, theyare more efficient in controllingconventional pollutants. (For example,the detention time for biologicaltreatment is 12 rather than 8 hours.)These larger systems are now employedat mills in many subcategories of thisindustry. Although these larger systemsare not employed at mills in allsubcategories, the technology is readilyavailable. These systems can bedesigned, constructed, and operated atnew sources in every subcategory of thepulp, paper, and paperboard industryand, in combination with commonlyemployed production process controls,are capable of meeting the final NSPS.

The combination of reduced rawwaste loads (attainable through theapplication of commonly employed in-plant production process controls] andmore efficient end-of-pipe treatmentsystems (that can be designed andemployed in this industry] form thebasis of NSPS. This combination oftechnologies results in conventionalpollutant limitations that have not beenachieved at existing mills in everysubcategory. This is because the moreefficient treatment systems have notbeen employed at mills in everysubcategory where raw waste loadshave been reduced to the levels onwhich NSPS are based. There is noreason why the NSPS end-of-pipetreatment systems -would be lessefficient in controlling the conventionalpollutant raw waste concentrations thatresult from implementation of in-plantcontrols than if these controls were notemployed: Therefore, the fact that insome subcategories there is no mill thatcurrently meets final NSPS does notmean that the technologies which formthe basis of NSPS are not demonstrated.In fact, final NSPS have been attained atmills where every major pulping andbleaching process (bleached kraft,unbleached kraft, groundwood, semi-chemical, sulfite, deink, and othersecondary fiber) and papermakingprocess are enployed.

The technologies that form the basisof final NSPS either are now employedor are available for application in everysubcategory of the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry and represent thebest demonstrated control technologyfor conventional pollutants. Because wehave determined that the technology

.bases of final NSPS are fullydemonstrated and that NSPS areattainable, we have rejected thecommenter's alternative that NSPS bebased on the average of the finaleffluent levels actually attained by atleast two of the "best performers" ineach subcategory. This alternative isclearly feasible, but does not reflect thebest demonstrated technology availableto new sources.

C C. BA T Limitations and NSPS forChloroform

Chloroform limits were proposed forthose subcategories.where chlorine orchlorine-containing compounds are usedto bleach pulp. The technology basis ofthe proposed limitations was biologicaltreatment capable of attaining BPTeffluent limitations. Proposed limitswere based on the highestconcentrations found in biologicalsystems at mills where BPT limitationsare being achieved. Commentersprovided additional chloroform data andidentified nine mills with closedbiologicalsystems (either oxygen-activated sludge or deep tank aerationsystems) where chloroformvolatilization is inhibited. Thecommenters asserted that these millswould exceed the proposed chloroformlimit even if BPT were attained.

Based on our analysis of all availablechloroform data, we agree that the ninemills-with closed systems are likely toexceed the proposed chloroform limiteven when BPT effluent limitations areattained. However, at other pulp, paper,and paperboard facilities where BPT,BOD5, and TSS limits are attained,chloroform is effectively controlled. TheAgency has decided to withdraw theproposed BAT limitations for chloroformsince (a) installation of biologicaltreatment assures adequate treatment ofchloroform for all but nine mills and (b)the proposed BAT chloroformlimitations cannot be achieved at thenine mills without major modification ofthe existing closed biological treatmentsystems. Further, the incrementalremoval of chloroform ihat would occurat these nine mills is not justified by thenon-water quality impacts that wouldresult from the application of chloroformremoval technology. We have estimatedthat compliance with proposedchloroform limitations would increasethe energy used to operate wastewatertreatment iystems by over 70 percent atthese nine mills. Attainment of proposedBAT-chloroform limitations would resultin capital and total annual costs of $26.9million and $12.5 million (1982 dollars],respectively.

The Agency has also decided towithdraw the proposed NSPS for

chloroform. We anticipate thatchloroform will be effectively controlledat new sources through the applicationof open-biological treatment systems;closed biological treatment systems arenow employed at only about 4.7 percentof the existing direct discharging mills.

D. BAT Effluent Limitations, NSPS,PSES, and PSNS for.PCP and TCP

In January of 1981, EPA proposed BATeffluent limitations and NSPS for controlof PCP and TCP. Pretreatment standardsfor new and existing sources were alsoproposed because both toxic pollutantswere found to pass through the POTWs.The proposed limitations and standardswere based on chemical substitution.Industry commenters supported thetechnology basis for proposed BAT,NSPS, PSES, and PSNS regulations, butfelt that PCP limits should be adjustedupward to account for contamination ofraw materials at secondary fiber mills(mills where wastepaper is processed).Commenters also stated that sincesubstitution is the technology basis forproposed regulation of TCP and PCP,monitoring should not be required forthese pollutants if they are not used atindividual mills. Additionally,commenters explained that the proposedconcentration-based pretreatmentstandards would penalize thosefacilities where significant waterconservation measures are practiced.

EPA agrees with the commenters thatif these pollutants are not used,dischargers should not be required tomonitor for PCP and TCP. In decidinghow to address the issue, EPAconcluded that the approach EPAfollowed in establishing the 1977 zincBPT limitations was preferable to theapproach EPA proposed for PCP, TCP,and zinc. In 1977, EPA simply draftedthe effluent limitations to apply only tothose dischargers using zinc compoundsin the manufacturing process. Therefore,mills not using zinc compounds were notsubject to the limitations and were notrequired by the regulation to monitor forzinc. EPA believes it makes sense topromulgate the final limitations andstandards along these lines, rather thanmaking them apply to all facilities.However, the regulations will requirefacilities not using chlorophenolic-

-containing biocides to certify to thateffect. Permit-issuing authorities mayfind it necessary to require that specificmonitoring programs be instituted atindividual mills if!PCP/TCPcontamination is suspected or to confirmthat significant quantities of PCP andTCP are not being discharged.

The Agency also agrees that theproposed concentration-based limits

52012 Federal Register I Vol. 47, No. 223 I Thursday, November 18, 1982 I Rules and Regulations

might discourage the implementation ofwater conservation technologies atsome mills. Therefore, final pretreatmentstandards include a mathematicalformula that accounts for flowdifferences to assure that low-flow millsare not penalized.

Our analysis of additional datareceived with the comments indicatesthat it is appropriate to adjust PCP limitsat secondary fiber mills to account forcontamination. Therefore, final NSPS,PSES, PSNS, and BAT limits controllingPCP at secondary fiber mills are beingestablished at higher levels than atproposal.

The Agency has also determined thattrace levels of TCP are formed in thebleaching process at mills wherechlorine or chlorine-containingcompounds are used to bleach pulp. Toaccount for this factor, final NSPS,PSES, PSNS, and BAT limits controllingTCP at these mills are being establishedat higher levels than at proposal.

A survey of chemical manufacturersshows that the use of biocides that donot contain chlorophenolics will resultin no measurable increases inproduction costs at existing or new millsin the pulp, paper, and paperboardindustry. Implementation of theseregulations will result in significantreductions in the discharge of PCP andTCP. We estimate that 30,200 poundsper year of trichlorophenol and 21,100pounds per year of pentachlorophenolwill be removed from industrywastewaters that are dischargeddirectly to navigable waters. PCP andTCP discharges to POTWs will bereduced by about 4,510 and 7,460 poundsper year, respectively.

E. BAT Effluent Limitations, NSPS,PSES, and PSNS for Zinc

In January.of 1981, EPA proposed BATeffluent limitations and NSPS for controlof zinc at mills in the groundwoodsubcategories where zinc hydrosulfitehas historically been used to bleachpulp. Pretreatment standards for newand existing sources were also proposedbecause zinc was found to pass throughthe POTWs. The technology basis ofproposed BAT limitations washydroxide precipitation and wasidentical to the technology basis of BPTlimitations for these subcategories. TheAgency determined that these zinclimitations were being achieved at allexisting direct discharging groundwoodmills by implementation of chemicalsubstitution (sodium hydrosulfite inplace of zinc hydrosulfite). Therefore,proposed NSPS, PSES, and PSNS werebased on chemical substitution.

Comments supported the proposedzinc limitations; therefore, final BAT,

NSPS, PSES, and PSNS are the same asproposed except that, for the reasonsdiscussed above, pretreatmentstandards will include a mathematicalformula to account for flow differencesso that low-flow mills are not penalized.Also, to eliminate unnecessarymonitoring requirements, the finalregulations for zinc apply only at millswhere zinc hydrosulfite is used. As inthe case of PCP and TCP, permitteesmust certify that zinc hydrosulfite is notused to bleach pulp in order todemonstrate that the limitations and-standards should not apply to theirspecific facility.

All affected direct discharging millsare now attaining the zinc BATlimitations through chemicalsubstitution. We have estimated thatimplementation of PSES will reduce thedischarge of zinc to POTWs by 44,000pounds per year at a cost of $28,000 peryear (1982 dollars). No adverseeconomic impacts are expected.

F. BAT Effluent Limitations and NSPSfor Control of Polychlorinated Biphenyls(PCBs) in the Deink Subcategory

Some wastepapers are contaminatedwith PCBs which were once used in themanufacture of carbonless copy paper.However, at proposal, only limited datawere available on the discharge andtreatability of PCBs in the pulp, paper,and paperboard industry. Thus, PCBeffluent limitations were not proposedfor those subcategories wherewastepaper is processed. Instead, wesought comments and additional data onthe discharge of PCBs and explainedthat EPA would evaluate all availabledata between proposal andpromulgation to determine whether BATlimitations for control of PCBs areappropriate.

Since proposal, the Agency hasobtained all available information onthe discharge of PCBs in the pulp, paper,and paperboard industry. We havedetermined that PCB-1242 is a pollutantof concern in discharges from mills inthe deink subcategory where fine ortissue paper are produced. Therefore,concurrent with this final regulation,EPA is proposing BAT effluentlimitations and NSPS for control of PCB-1242 in the deink subcategory.

VI. Costs, Economic Impact, ExecutiveOrder 12291, and Regulatory FlexibilityAnalysis

Executive Order 12291 requires EPAand other agencies to provide regulatoryimpact analyses for rules that result inan annual cost to the economy of 100ihillion dollars or more or that meetother economic impact criteria. TheAgency does not consider this to be a

major rule because it will not result inannual costs of 100 million dollars,significant price increases, or significanteconomic impact.

The Regulatory Flexibility Actrequires EPA to consider the effects ofrules on small entities and, if they aresignificant and affect a substantialnumber of small entities, to prepare aRegulatory Flexibility Analysis. Asrequired by the Act, EPA conducted asmall business analysis in conjunctionwith the economic analysis. EPAclassified small businesses in thisindustry as those with less than $10million in annual revenues. Based onthis designation, EPA determined thatthis regulation will not have asignificant impact on a substantialnumber of small entities in the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry.Therefore, a Regulatory FlexibilityAnalysis is not required.

The Agency's economic impactassessment of this regulation ispresented in Economic Impact Analysisof Effluent Limitations and Standardsfor the Pulp, Paper, and PaperboardIndustry (U.S. EPA, October 1982). Theanalysis details the costs incurred bythe industry as a result of thisregulation, and the impact of these costsin terms of profitability, ability to raisecapital, reductions in production, priceincreases, plant closures, employmentand regional effects, and balance oftrade effects.

EPA evaluated the impact of new andrevised BPT effluent limitations, BATeffluent limitations, PSES, NSPS, andPSNS. The analysis examined theincremental costs beyond presentrequirements (i.e., BPT for directdischargers), except in those caseswhere the existing BPT regulation wasmodified. BCT compliance costs werenot included in the economic impactanalysis. In summary, EPA concludesthat the economic impacts of theadditional water pollution controlslikely to be incurred uponimplementation of these regulations arejustified by the benefits associated withcompliance with the effluent limitationsand standards.

A. BPT Effluent Limitations

Only one of the six subcategories forwhich new or revised BPT limitationsare being established (the wastepaper-molded products subcategory) will incurcompliance costs. Four mills in thewastepaper-molded productssubcategory are expected to invest atotal of $8.4 million and incur totalannual costs of $2.6 million (1982dollars). EPA anticipates thatcompliance with BPT effluent limitations

No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations52012 Federal Register / Vol. 47,

Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 / Thursday, 'November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52013

may increase production costs by about6.9 percent. As discussed at proposal, ifonly half of this cost increase is passedthrough to users of molded pulpproducts, no mill closures are expectedin the wastepaper-molded productssubcategory.

B. BA T Effluent Limitations

No incremental impacts are expectedas a result of BAT control of PCP, TCP,and zinc. As explained previously, thetechnology basis for control of PCP andTCP is chemical substitution. A surveyof chemical suppliers shows that nomeasurable increase in production costscan be expected as a result of usingbiocides that do not containchlorophenolics. Therefore, the onlyincremental costs that might be incurredat these mills as a result ofimplementation of the BAT effluentlimitations are associated withmonitoring for PCP and TCP. However,since monitoring is not required wherefacilities certify that substitutechemicals are being used to control PCPand TCP and substitution is thetechnology basis of BAT limitations, weanticipate that monitoring will rarely berequired. We have also determined thatall of the affected mills are nowattaining the BAT zinc limits by usingblbaching chemicals that do not containzinc. Thus, no incrementaf costs areanticipated to result fromimplementation of BAT. Therefore, BATeffluent limitations for PCP, TCP, andzinc are not expected to causesignificant price increases, mill closures,or unemployment.

C. PSES

PSES limitations are expected toresult in compliance costs for only oneindirect discharging mill. Onegroundwood mill has been identifiedwhere zinc hydrosulfite is currently usedto bleach pulp. Chemical substitution tocomply with the zinc pretreatmentstandard is expected to result in anannual compliance cost of $28,000 (1982dollars), which will not affect theviability of the mill. Any additionalcosts will be as a result of monitoringfor the specific pollutants regulated byPSES. However, since monitoring is notrequired where facilities certify thatsubstitute chemicals are being used tocontrol PCP, TCP, and zinc andsubstitution is the technology basis ofPSES, we anticipate that monitoring willrarely be required. Thus, PSES are notexpected to cause significant priceincreases, mill closures, orunemployment.

D. NSPS

Assuming average growth rates foreach product sector, EPA estimates thatcompliance with NSPS will result inincremental capital costs of $27.7 millionand total annual costs of $9.6 million(1982 dollars) for the entire pulp, paper,and paperboard industry for a one yearperiod. Seven of 14 integrated millsubcategories might incur $24.0 millionin capital investment costs and $8.3million in total annual costs. Three ofnine secondary fibers subcategoriesmight incur costs of $2.4 million incapital investment and $1.0 million intotal annual costs. One of eightnonintegrated subcategories might incur$0.5 million in capital investment and$0.3 million in total annual costs.

These predicted costs are expected tocause an average price increase of 1.18percent, with individual product priceincreases ranging from 0 to 3.2 percent.Based upon the forecasted priceincreases, EPA estimated the reductionin demand for pulp and paper productsand translated this reduction intoreductions in the baseline growth ratefor new sources.

EPA estimates that baseline (BATcompliance) growth rates for the entireindustry would average 3.0 percentannually over the 1985 to 1990 period.Upon attainment of NSPS, the growthrate is expected to drop marginally to anannual growth rate of 2.9 percent. WhileEPA expects one subcategory, builders',paper and roofing felt, to experience asomewhat larger new source capacityreduction of 51 percent, the projectedreduction in the annual growth rate issmall, from 1.0 percent to 0.5 percent.Therefore, EPA believes that this impactwould not be major.

These reductions in capacityexpansion are expected to result insmall decreases in future incrementalemployment forecast for the industry.EPA forecasts that. baseline new sourceexpansion would create 36,000 jobs; ad aresult of NSPS, 2200 of these jobs maynot be created (i.e., a potential exists fora 6 percent reduction in newemployment.) *

At the time that proposed regulationswere published, EPA did not anticipateany effect on new growth in the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry. Whilewe now predict that there will be someeffect, the projected reductions in newsource capacity resulting fromimplementation of this regulation aresmall (from 3.0 to 2.9 percent annualgrowth). Thus, EPA believes that thecosts associated with compliance withNSPS are reasonable and economicallyachievable by the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry.

E. PSNS

The technology basis for PSNSlimitations is identical to the technologybasis of PSES--chemical substitution tolimit the discharge of PCP, TCP, andzinc. Therefore, there is no incrementalcost or economic impact attributable toPSNS.

VII. Pollutants and Subcategories NotRegulated

A. Toxic Pollutants

Paragraph 8 of the modifiedSettlement Agreement, approved by theDistrict Court for the District ofColumbia on March 9, 1979 (12 ERC1833), contains provisions authorizingthe exclusion from regulation, in certaininstances, of toxic pollutants andindustry categories and subcategories.

1. Exclusion of Pollutants. On January28, 1981, EPA submitted an affidavitexplaining that, for the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry, the Agency, underthe authority of Paragraph 8(a)(iii) of theSettlement Agreement, decided not toregulate 125 of the 129 toxic pollutants.Based on additional informationcollected by the Agency or received incomments, the Agency is proposing toremove PCB-1242 from the list ofexcluded pollutants for directdischargers in the deink subcategory. Asexplained previously, concurrent withthis regulation, the Agency is proposingregulations for the control of PCB-1242at direct discharging mills in the deinksubcategory where fine and tissuepapers are produced.

In addition, as discussed previously,the Agency is withdrawing the proposedBAT limitations for chloroform (seeSummary of Promulgated Regulationand Changes from Proposal).

Finally, the 1981 affidavit excludedpollutants discharged from both directand indirect sources. EPA has sincereexamined the data pertaining topollutants discharged from indirectsources and determined that differentrationales under Paragraph 8 of theSettlement Agreement are appropriatefor some of the pollutants. AccordinglyAppendix B to this notice lists thosetoxic pollutants for which EPA isproviding a different rationale andexplains our reasons for not establishingpretreatment standards for thosepollutants.

2. Subcategories Excluded. Asexplained in the preamble to theproposes rules, the converted paperindustry (SIC 2641, 2642, 2643, 2645,2646, 2647, 2648, 2649, 2651, 2652, 2653,2654, 2655, and 2682) and thegroundwood-chemi-mechanicalsubcategory have been excluded from

No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations

regulation under the authority ofParagraph 8(a)(iv) of the SettlementAgreement. (See 46 FR 1430, January 6,1981.]

B. Nonconventional Pollutants

Nonconventional pollutantsassociated with the production of pulp,paper, and paperboard are color,ammonia, and resin and fatty acids andtheir derivatives. No nonconventionalpollutants will be regulated throughestablishment of BAT, NSPS, PSES, OrPSNS.

1. Color. BAT limitations wereestablished to control the discharge ofcolor from mills in the unbleached kraft,semi-chemical, and unbleached kraftand semi-chemical subcategories (39 FR18742, May 29, 1974). BAT limitationswere also proposed but neverpromulgated to control color indischarges from the dissolving kraft,market bleached kraft, BCT bleachedkraft, fine bleached kraft, and sodasubcategories (41 FR 7685, February 19,1976). Additional subcategories wherehighly-colored effluents are dischargedinclude both papergrade sulfitesubcategories and the dissolving sulfitepulp subcategory.

As a result of further investigationsconducted since 1976, the Agencyexplained at proposal that it hadconcluded that the discharge of color inpulp, paper, and paperboard industryeffluents is not of uniform nationalconcern and that color would becontrolled on a case-by-case basis asdictated by water qualityconsiderations. Many comments werereceived on the proposal supporting theAgency's position. Other commentswere received encouraging EPA toestablish uniform national colorlimitations because highly-coloredeffluents are discharged from mills in 11subcategories and because earlierAgency documents and proposed andfinal regulations support establishmentof color limitations.

The Agency is withdrawing theexisting effuent limitations andstandards for color and we are notestablishing any new ones based on ourevaluation that color is not a pollutantof national significance in this industry.In some cases, it has been shown thatcolor can interfere with lighttransmission and the process ofphotosynthesis in the aquaticenvironment. However, in mostinstances, color is simply an aestheticpollutant. Thus, EPA no longer believesthat color is a pollutant of uniformnational concern in this industry.

2. Ammonia. The Agency did notpropose establishment of ammonia,limitations because there were very

limited data available on ammoniadischarges from the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry. EPA soughtadditional data and requestedcomments on the necessity forestablishment of uniform nationalstandards for control of ammonia in thepaper industry.

Some commenters stated thatammonia should not be regulated on auniform national basis because of theabsence of wide-spread receiving waterquality problems from routine industrialdischarges of ammonia. They stated thatammonia occurs naturally in theenvironment, is readily metabolized tonitrite and nitrate, and, therefore, is bestregulated on a case-by-case basis. Othercommenters urged the Agency to collectadditional data on the level of ammoniadischarges and applicable treatmenttechnologies to determine whethereffluent limitations were necessary.

After reviewing the comments and allavailable ammonia data, we decided notto establish ammonia limitations. Inreaching that decision, we found thatthere are only eight mills in threesubcategories where ammonia-basedcooking chemicals are used in thepulping process. Resulting ammonia rawwaste concentrations range from 20 to340 mg/l. After application of BPT,about 12 to 32 mg/l of ammonia remain,depending on the subcategoryconsidered. When BPT effluent limitsare met, about eight million pounds peryear of ammonia are removed fromindustry raw wastes.

We have identified two technologiescapable of removing additionalammonia from pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry wastewaters: (a)conversion of existing biologicaltreatment systems to operate in anitrification mode and (b) conversion tothe use of a new chemical base (i.e.,sodium or magnesium). Thesetechnologies are dicussed in detail inSections VII and VIII and Appendix Aof the Development Document.

The Agency investigated the ammoniaremoval capability of thesetechnologies. We also estimated theeconomic impact that would result fromestablishing ammonia limitations.Uncertainties exist in the modificationsrequired to convert existing pulp, paper,and paperboard biological treatmentsystems to operate in a nitrificationmode (i.e., proper detention time; sludgeage, and operating temperature).Therefore, the Agency has assumed thatammonia limitations, if established,would be attained through conversion toa different (non-ammonia) chemicalbase.

The Agency estimates that anadditional 4.45 million pounds per year

of ammonia could be removed fromwastewater discharges from the eightmills where ammonia-based cookingchemicals are used. Capital and totalannual costs at the eight mills would be$167 million and $50.4 million,respectively. These costs would result inproduction cost increases ranging from2.9 to 15.4 percent and might cause theclosure of four of the eight mills.

Because of these projected severeeconomic impacts, the Agency ha,determined that establishment ofuniform national standands for controlof ammonia is unwarranted. If requiredto protect water quality, ammonialimitations are best established on acase-by-case basis.

3. Resin Acids, Fatty Acids, andBleach Plant Derivatives. At proposal,the Agency announced that we wouldnot establish BAT effluent limitationsand NSPS to control resin acids, fattyacids, and bleach plant derivativespresent in pulp, paper, and paperboardindustry discharges. EPA explained thatthe sparsity of data available on thedischarge of these nonconventionalpollutants in this industry made itimpossible to propose uniform nationalstandards. In comments received inresponse to the proposal, somecommenters agreed that, because thesecompounds are effectively controlled bythe biological treatment process,limitations and standards areunnecessary. Other commentersencouraged the Agency to establishlimitations because of the toxicity ofthese compounds and their resistance tobiological treatment.

No new data were submitted withcomments. Data available to the Agencyshow that biological treatment (thetechnology basis of BPT in thosesubcategories where high levels of resinacids, fatty acids, and bleach plantderivatives are generated is veryeffective in reducing raw waste loadingsof resin acids, fatty acids, and bleachplant derivatives. Almost no data areavailable for potential BAT treatmenttechnologies such as foam separation,chemically assisted clarification, ionexchange, or activated carbon. Inaddition, analytical methods have notbeen developed for measuring thesenonconventional pollutants. For theabove reasons, EPA cannot establishBAT effluent limitations guidelines andNSPS for control of resin acids, fattyacids, and bleach plant derivatives on anational basis.

VIII. Non-Water Quality EnvironmentalImpacts. Sections 304(b) and 306 of the Act

require EPA to cornsider the non-water

52014 Federal Register / Vol. 47,


quality environmental impacts(including air pollution, solid wastegeneration, and energy requirements) ofcertain regulations. In conformance withthese provisions, we considered theeffect of this regulation on air pollution,solid waste generation, and energyconsumption. This regulation wasreviewed by EPA personnel responsiblefor non-water quality related programs.While it is difficult to balance pollutionproblems against each other and againstenergy use, we believe this regulationwill best serve often competing nationalgoals. The Administrator hasdetermined that the non-water qualityimpacts identified below are justified bythe benefits associated with compliancewith the regulation.

Implementation of these regulationswill not substantially increase airpollution, energy use, or solid wastegeneration because the technologies thatform the bases of BAT effluentlimitations and pretreatment standardsdo not require additional energy orgenerate solid wastes and air emissions.

The Agency projects that attainmentof NSPS will result in an insignificantincremental increase in solid waste andabout a 2 percent increase in energy usecompared to attainment of BPT effluentlimitations.

We estimate that attainment of newBPT effluent limitations will require theuse of the equivalent of 3800 barrels peryear of residual fuel oil, an increase of0.0017 percent of current industry energyusage. Further, we estimate that anadditional 110 tons of solid waste peryear will be generated. This is equal to0.0042 percent of current wastewatersolids generated in the industry. ,Implementation of these regulations willnot substantially increase air pollution.

Information on which these estimatesare based are contained in Sections IX,X, XII, XIII, XIV, and Appendix A of theDevelopment Document.

IX. Best Management PracticesSection 304(e) of the Clean Water Act

gives the Administrator authority toprescribe "best management practices"(BMPs). EPA is not now consideringpromulgating BMPs specific to the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry.

Upset and Bypass Provisions

A recurring issue is whether industryguidelines should include provisionsauthorizing noncompliance with effluentlimitations during periods of "upset" or"bypass." An upset, sometimes calledan "excursion," is an unintentionalnoncompliance occurring for reasonsbeyond the reasonable control of thepermittee. It has been argued that anupset provision in EPA's effluent

limitations guidelines is necessarybecause such upsets will inevitablyoccur even in properly operated controlequipment. Because technology-basedlimitations require only what technologycan achieve, it is claimed that liabilityfor such situations is improper. Whenconfronted with this issue, courts havedisagreed on whether an explicit upsetor excursion exemption is necessary, orwhether upset or excursion incidentsmay be handled through EPA's exerciseof enforcement discretion. CompareMarathon Oil Co. v. EPA, 564 F.2d 1253(9th Cir. 1977) with Weyerhaeuser v.Castle, 590 F.2d 1011 (D.C. Cir. 1978) andCorn Refiners Association, et al. v.Castle, 594 F.2d 1223 (8th Cir. 1979). Seealso American Petroleum Institute v.EPA, 540 F.2d 1023 (10th Cir. 1976); CPCInternational, Inc. v. Train, 540 F.2d 1320(8th Cir. 1976); FMC Corp. v. Train, 539F. 2d 973 (4th Cir. 1976).

An upset is an unintentional episodeduring which effluent limits areexceeded; a bypass, however, is an actof intentional noncompliance duringwhich waste treatment facilities arecircumvented in emergency situations.We have, in the past, included bypassprovisions in NPDES permits.

We determined that both upset andbypass provisions should be included inNPDES permits and have promulgatedConsolidated Permit Regulations thatinclude upset and bypass provisions.(See 45 FR 33290, May 19, 1980; 40 CFR122.60.) The upset provision establishesan upset as an affirmative defense toprosecution for violation of technology-based effluent limitations. The bypassprovision authorizes bypassing toprevent loss of life, personal injury, orsevere property damage. Consequently,although permittees in the pulp, paper,and paperboard industry will be entitledto upset and bypass provisions inNPDES permits, these final regulationsdo not address these issues.

XI. Variances and Modifications

Upon the promulgation of thisregulation, the effluent limitations forthe appropriate subcategory must beapplied in all Federal and State NPDESpermits thereafter issued to directdischarges in the pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry. In addition, onpromulgation, the pretreatmentlimitations are directly applicable toindirect dischargers.

For the BPT effluent limitations, theonly exception to the binding limitationsis EPA's "fundamentally differentfactors" variance (see E. L duPont deNemours and Co. v. Train, 430 U.S. 112(1977); Weyerhaeuser Co. v. Castle,supra). This variance recognizes factorsconcerning a particular discharger that

are fundamentally different from thefactors considered in this rulemaking.Although this variance clause was setforth in EPA's 1973-1976 industryregulations, it is now included in theNPDES regulations and will not beincluded in the specific pulp, paper, andpaperboard industry regulations (see theNPDES regulations at 40 CFR Part 125,Subpart D). The BAT limitations in theseregulations are also subject to EPA's"fundamentally different factors"variance.Pretreatment standards for existingsources.are subject to the"fundamentally different factors"variance and credits for pollutantsremoved by POTWs (see 40 CFR 403.7and 403.13). Pretreatment standards fornew sources are subject only to thecredits provision in 40 CFR 403.7.

NSPS are not subject to EPA's"fundamentally different factors"variance or any statutory or regulatorymodifications (see duPont v. Train,supra).

XII. Relationship to NPDES Permits

The BPT and BAT limitations andNSPS in this regulation will be appliedto individual pulp, paper, andpaperboard mills through NPDESpermits issued by EPA or approvedState agencies under Section 402 of theAct. As discussed in the precedingsection of this preamble, theselimitations must be applied in allFederal and State NPDES permitsexcept to the extent that variances andmodifications are expressly authorized.Other aspects of the interaction of theseregulations and NPDES permits arediscussed below.

One issue which warrantsconsideration is the effect of theseregulations on the powers of NPDESpermit-issuing authorities. Thepromulgation of these regulations doesnot restrict the power of any permittingauthority to act in any mannerconsistent with law or these or anyother EPA regulations, guidelines, orpolicy. For example, even if thisregulation does not control a particularpollutant, the permit issuer may stilllimit such a pollutant on a case-by-casebasis when limitations are necessary tocarry out the purposes of the Act. Inaddition, to the extent that State waterquality standards or other provisions ofState or Federal law require limitationof pollutants not covered by theseregulations'(or require more stringentlimitations on covered pollutants), suchlimitations must be applied by thepermit-issuing authority.

A second topic that warrantsdiscussion is the operation of EPA's



NPDES enforcement program, manyaspects of which were considered indeveloping these regulations. Weemphasize that, although the CleanWater Act is a strict liability statute, theinitiation of enforcement proceedings byEPA is discretionary. We have exercisedand intend to exercise that discretion ina manner that recognizes and promotesgood faith compliance efforts.

XIII. Public Participation-Responses toMajor Comments

Numerous agencies and groups haveparticipated in this study of the pulp,paper, and paperboard industry. TheAgency solicited comments on theproposed rules and on the DevelopmentDocument and economic analysissupporting the proposal.

The comment period (except for BCT)ended on June 9, 1981. (The BCTcomment period will end *60 days afterproposal of a new BCT methodology andthe new BCT limitations for thiscategory), Sixty-one persons or groupssubmitted comments on non-BCT issues.Comments were submitted by four tradeassociations, 34 individual companies,nine private citizens, eight-environmental groups, four stateagencies, and two engineeringconsultants representing industrialclients.

The Agency held a public hearing onthe proposal on March 6, 1981 inWashington, D.C. Technical Workshopswere held On February 24, 1981 inSeattle, Washington, on February 26,1981 in Chicago, Illinois, and on March5, 1981 in Washington, D.C.

Individual public comments receivedon the proposed regulation and ourresponses are presented in a report"Responses to Public Comments,Proposed Pulp, Paper, ahd PaperboardIndustry Effluent Guidelines andStandards," October 1982, which is partof the public record of this rulemaking.A summary of the major comments thatare not discussed elsewhere in thispreamble and the Agency's responsesfollows.

1. Comment: In calculating the end-of-pipe concentrations for NSP, EPAinaccurately calculated the final effluentconcentrations representative of the"best performers." EPA calculated theconcentrations achievable at bestperformers by dividing long-termaverage mass discharge levels by theflow on which BPT effluent limitationsare based, rather than the average flowof the best performing mills. Dividing themass levels by the higher BPT flowoverstates the performance of the end-of-pipe treatment systems used at thebest performing mills. The actualeffluent concentration achieved at these

mills (actual average mass dischargedivided by actual average flow) is amuch more valid representation of thetreatment performance capability of theend-of-pipe treatment systems employedat best performing mills.

As a substitute, the commenterproposed two alternatives: (1) settingNSPS equal to the average of finaleffluent levels actually attained by twoor more of the best performers in eachsubcategory, or (2) basing NSPS on theperformance of external treatmentsystems from one set of best performerswith the performance of internalcontrols from another group of mills.

Response: As stated previously, thetechnology basis of the proposed NSPSwas commonly employed in-plantproduction process control technologiesplus the application of end-of-pipetreatment of the type that formed thebasis of BPT effluent limitations (i.e.,biological treatment or primaryclarification). The proposed limitationswere generally determined bymultiplying (a) typical wastewater flowsfor new sources in each subcategoryafter implemtentation of in-plantcontrols and (b) effluent concentrationsdetermined from analysis of controltechnology performance data for end-of-pipe treatment systems.

The commenter apparentlymisunderstood how EPA determined theeffluent concentrations determined fromanalysis of control technologyperformance data. In determiningachievable effluent concentrations, EPArelied on the removal capabilities ofend-of-pipe treatment systemsexclusively. EPA did not include addedproduction process controls as part ofits technology option for definingeffluent concentrations. (Some limitedin-plant controls were included in thetechnology basis of final BPTlimitations). However, the commenter'sdescription of the option assumes thatEPA based the final effluentconcentrations corresponding to thistechnology option on a smaller end-of-pipe treatment system and addedinternal production process controls.

In developing its option, EPA relied onthe performance of the best performingmills to determine what end-of-pipeeffluent loads to establish. EPA took thefinal average discharge loads of BOD5and TSS achieved by the bestperformers and divided these by theflow that formed the basis of the BPTlimitations to determine what effluentconcentrations had to be achieved tomeet the discharge loads of the bestperformers if only end-of-pipe treatmentwere employed. EPA found that thenecessary concentrations could beachieved by using the BPT end-of-pipe

treatment system (biological treatmentor primary clarification) and expandingit. Because the expanded BPT end-of-pipe treatment system is fully capable ofmeeting the discharge loads of the bestperformers without added reduction inflow or raw waste load, EPA used theBPT flows and did not design or cost in-process controls (to reduce flow or rawwaste load) in determining the effluentconcentration component of the NSPSproposed treatment option. Therefore,EPA neither failed to address the impactof a reduction in flow on the finaleffluent concentration nor overstatedthe performance of the end-of-pipe-treatment systems for its technologyoption. (See Chapter VIII of theDevelopment Document for a morecomplete explanation.]

In stating that EPA incorrectlycalculated effluent concentrations, thecommenter actually defined anothertechnology option. The commenter'soption includes internal process controlsand a smaller BPT end-of-pipe treatmentsystem to meet the discharge loads ofthe best performers. We agree with thecommenter that the effluentconcentrations could be higher underthis option since the flow would belower. Either technology option resultsin attainment of the discharge levels -achieved by the best performers;however, the higher effluentconcentrations attained in thecommenter's option would mean thatNSPS using those concentrations wouldbe less stringent than those in EPA'soption.

EPA did not adopt the optionidentified by the commenter because theeffluent concentrations on which EPA'stechnology option is based better reflectthe effluent concentrations that newsources can achieve and many existingsources are achieving. The commenter'stechnology option discusses anothertechnology option for achieving theaverage final effluent loads attained bythe "best performers," but it does notreflect the capability of new sources tobuild larger end-of-pipe treatmentsystems to attain lower effluentconcentrations. In fact, these largersystems are already used by many ofthe best performers and are achievingthe effluent concentrations EPA hasselected.

EPA also rejected the two alternativesoffered by the commenter. A explainedin Section V of this preamble (Summaryof Promulgated Regulation and ChangesFrom Proposal), the first alternative isfeasible but does not reflect the besttechnology available to new sources.While our NSPS option incorporatessome aspects of the second alternative,

Federal Register / Vol. 47, No. 223 I Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52017

the latter alternative results in generallyless stringent standards than either ouralternative or the commenter's firstalternative. Since we rejected the finalstandards attained by the firstalternative as not representative of thebest available demonstrated technology,we determined that the secondalternative was similarly deficient.Nevertheless, in meeting the finalstandards we have established,dischargers may use any combination oftechnology options they choose.

2. Comment: Tertiary treatment (i.e.,chemically assisted clarification orCAC) should form the technology basisof the BAT/NSPS/PSES/PSNSregulations for the toxic pollutantspentachlorophenol (PCP),trichlorophenol (TCP), and zinc.

Response: Chemically assistedclarification (CAC) is an end-of-pipetreatment technology primarilyemployed to effect a further reduction insuspended solids than can be attainedthrough application of biblogicaltreatment only. No data were submittedwith comments, nor are we aware ofany data, that would allow the Agencyto establish a relationship betweenremoval of suspended solids andremoval of the three toxic pollutants(PCP, TCP, and zinc]. Therefore, theAgency is unable to establishregulations for control of PCP, TCP, andzinc based on CAC. Further, based onavailable data, the Agency determinedthat PCP, TCP, and zinc can beeffectively controlled through chemicalsubstitution. Limitations based onchemical substitution will lead tosignificant removals of regulated toxics.(Total removal is not achieved becausesome wastepapers are contaminatedwith low levels of pentachlorophenoland because low levels oftrichlorophenol are formed when pulp isbleached with chlorine or chlorine-containing compounds.) Thus, EPA isbasing final regulations controlling PCP,TCP, and zinc on chemical substitution.

3. Comment: Analytical techniques fortrichlorophenol and pentachlorophenolshould be specified. If analyticaltechniques used at pulp, paper, andpaperboard mills are different fromthose specified by EPA, it would be thedischarger's responsibility to prove therelationship between the techniques.

Response: In the DevelopmentDocument, EPA has identified all of theanalytical procedures used to generatethe data on which final effluentlimitations and standards are based.Pentachlorophenol and trichlorophenolwere analyzed by the standard methodnumber 625 specified in 44 FR 69464(December 3, 1979) and by the use of thequality assurance/quality control (QA/

QC) procedures specified in:"Procedures for Analysis of Pulp, Paper,and Paperboard Effluents for Toxic andNonconventional Pollutants," U.S. EPA,Washington, D.C., December 1980.

4. Comment: Commenters stated thatuse of the 99th percentile in determiningdaily maximum variability factorswould result in three to four violationsof maximum day limitations per year,even at mills complying with theguidelines. Therefore, a 99.7 or a 99.9confidence interval should be selected,the 99.7 percentile corresponding toabout one violation per year and the 99.9percentile to about one violation everyfive years (the life of the averagepermit).

Response: The 99th percentile wasused when establishing BPT effluentlimitations for the pulp and paperindustry in 1974 and 1977. In our January6 proposal, we again chose the 99thpercentile to account for effluentvariability. With this confidence level, itis expected that 99 percent of the dailyvalues will fall below the limitation for aproperly designed and operatedtreatment plant. This would correspondto three to four violations of dailymaximum limitations every year if dailymonitoring is required. The use of 99thpercentile is an acceptable andcommonly used method to set limits,balances the need to allow for thevariability expected of a well operatedplant, and insures the proper operationof that plant. The use of the 99thpercentile does not adversely affectindustry or subject industry to the realpossibility of unnecessary enforcementactions. Although the Clean Water Actis a strict liability statute, the initiationof enforcement proceedings by EPA isdiscretionary. We have exercised andintend to exercise that discretion in amanner that recognizes and promotesgood faith compliance efforts.

5. Comment: The Agency's decision to'use all currently available performancedata in setting BOD5 limitations isproper. However, permit writers and theEnforcement Division should be madeaware of whether guidelines weredeveloped using refrigerated BOD5 data.Sample refrigeration may mask seasonaleffects on final effluent BOD5 andsubsequently affect variability.

Response: A cooperative effort tostudy the effects of refrigerated/unrefrigerated samples was undertakenby the Agency and representatives ofthe industry. Results of this study havebeen published in An Evaluation of theEffects of Sample Storage Conditions onthe Measurement of BOD5, E. C. JordanCo., Portland, Maine, September, 1982.

This study included an assessment ofindustry sampling and analysis

techniques, a literature review, alaboratory study, and an evaluation ofparallel BOD5 (refrigerated andunrefrigerated sample storage) data.Several statistical procedures were usedto evaluate paired refrigerated andunrefrigerated data sets. Nonlinearregression analyses, multiple regressionanalyses, and log 10 transformrelationships were tested, but none weresuccessful in providing a model toadequately characterize the relationshipbetween refrigerated and unrefrigeratedBOD5 data. Investigations showed thatthe effects of sample storage conditionson measured final effluent BOD5 valueswere small in magnitude. The effectswere variable on a mill-to-mill, day-to-day, and season-to-season basis.Therefore, all data regardless ofrefrigeration status have beenconsidered in establishing BOD5effluent limitations. Standard collectionprocedures, including refrigeratedsample collection techniques, shall befollowed when collecting samples todetermine compliance with conventionalpollutant limitations.

6. Comment: A distinction should bemade between papergrade sulfite millswhere fine and tissue papers areproduced.

Response: Raw waste load datarelating to fine paper and tissueproduction were examined. Nosignificant differences in raw waste loadflow, BOD5, or TSS exist between fineand tissue mills and there is nojustification for distinguishing betweenproduction of fine-and tissue papers. Wefound that the percentage of sulfite pulpproduced on-site is a much moresignificant factor affecting raw wasteloads than the type of productmanufactured. A flow model has beendeveloped to account for the effect ofvarying degrees of sulfite pulping on rawwaste generation. This flow model is amajor element in the development oflimitations and standards applicable tothe two papergrade sulfitesubcategories.

7. Comment: The definition of the BCT(board, coarse, and tissue) bleachedkraft subcategory should be changed toinclude fine paper mills where ashcontent in the final product is less than12 percent.

Response: The commenters providedno additional data to support theirclaims. Available data on all finebleached kraft mills with less than 12percent filler were reevaluated. Theregression analyses performed on thedata from both subcategories did notshow a statistically significantrelationship between percent filler andraw waste generation. In fact, we found

Federal Register / Vol..47, No. 223 / Thursday, November 18, 1982 / Rules and Regulations 52017


that raw waste loads at fine paper millswith less than 12 percent filler moreclosely resemble fine rather than BCTbleached kraft mill characteristics. (SeeSection IV of Development Document).Thus, a change in the definition of theBCT bleached kraft subcategory is notwarranted.

8. Comment: A detailed discussion ofthe factors (such as mill size, age, rawmaterials, products, and treatmentcosts) used in determining subcategoriesshould be provided. Specialcircumstances which exist at some millsshould be recognized and mills shouldbe resubcategorized accordingly.Industry commenters have alsorequested a definition and formalrecognition of mills in the miscellaneousmill groupings. Permit writers should beprovided guidance in establishingeffluent limits for these mills, andpermits should be negotiated on a case-by-case basis

Response: The DevelopmentDocument (Section IV) provides adetailed discussion of all factorsconsidered in subcategorization. Duringthe comment period, representatives ofsome mills provided process informationrelating to subcategorization. Asappropriate, certain mills are considereda part of different subcategories nowthan at the time of proposal. Thesechanges, some of which were discussedpreviously, are shown in theDevelopment Document.

When a mill does not fit the specificdefinition of an individual subcategory,we consider this to be a "miscellaneous"mill. Permits for miscellaneous millsmust be developed on a case-by-casebasis. We encourage permit writers toconsider establishing allowabledischarge levels by proration when theentire production at a miscellaneous millcan be allocated to existingsubcategories. Therefore, when morethan one production process isemployed, the total allowable dischargecould be determined by multiplying theproduction associated with operationsrepresentative of each subcategory bythe appropriate discharge allowance foreach subcategory. We do not establish aseparate subcategory for such millsbecause we cannot develop uniformnational standards applicable to these"miscellaneous" mills.

9. Comment: Specific subcategorydefinitions published in theDevelopment Document are inconsistentwith definitions in the Federal Register.Errors exist in the DevelopmentDocument supporting proposed rules;data presented for individual mills arenot correct.

Response: The final DevelopmentDocument and regulations contain

consistent definitions. All data in theDevelopment Document, includingtables and figures, were reviewed foraccuracy. Incorrect data andcalculations were revised asappropriate. Final limitations andstandards reflect these changes.

10. Comment: Limitations for thepapergrade sulfitemarket pulpsubcategory codified at Subpart V of theCode of Federal Regulations (40 CFR430) were promulgated in February,1976, but subsequently withdrawn inJanuary 1977. However, Subpart V wasnever removed from the Code of FederalRegulations.

Response: As part of Interim FinalRulemaking, (see 41 FR 7662, February19, 1976), effluent limitations werepromulgated for a papergrade sulfite-market pulp subcategory. These effluentlimitations were codified at Subpart V,40 CFR Part 430. Subsequently in thepreamble to the final rules (see 42 FR1399, January 6, 1977), the Agencyannounced that effluent limitations forthe papergrade sulfite-market pulpsubcategory would be withdrawn andthose mills originally included in thepapergrade sulfite-market pulpsubcategory would be included in thepapergrade sulfite subcategory. Bymistake, the withdrawn Subpart V wasnever removed from the Code of FederalRegulations. The new Code of FederalRegulations for this category willindicate that Subpart V covers theunbleached kraft and semi-chemicalsubcategory.

11. Comment: Industry commentersexpressed concern that thosepaperboard from wastepaper millswhere recycled corrugating medium isprocessed would face economichardship if required to meet theproposed NSPS regulations.

Response: During a review of itssubcategorization scheme, EPAreviewed data on the raw waste loadsof paperboard from wastepaperfacilities. As discussed previously, datashow that higher waste loads occur atmills where recycled corrugatingmedium is processed than when othertypes of wastepaper are processed. Forthis reason, NSPS limitations have beenestablished that account for the higherraw waste loads charcteristic of millswhere wastpaper board is producedfrom recycled corrugating medium. Ouranalysis indicates that these revisedstandards will not result in adverseeconomic impacts.XIV. Small Business Administration(SBA) Financial Assistance

The Agency is continuing toencourage small manufacturers to useSmall Business Administration (SBA)

financing as needed for pollution controlequipment. Three basic programs are ineffect: the Guaranteed Pollution ControlBond Program, the Section 503 Program,and the Regular Guarantee Program. Allthe SBA loan programs are only open tobusinesses with net assets less than $6million, with an average annual after-tax income of less than $2 million, andwith fewer than 250 employees.

The guaranteed pollution controlprogram authorizes the SBA toguarantee the payments on qualifiedcontracts entered into by eligible smallbusinesses to acquire needed pollutioncontrol facilities when the financing isprovided through pollution controlbonds, bank loans, and debentures.Financing with SBA's guarantee ofpayment makes available long-termfinancing comparable with market rates.The program applies to projects thatcost from $150,000 to $200,000.

The Section 503 Program, as amendedin July 1980, allows for long-term loansto small and medium-sized businesses.These loans are made by SBA-approvedlocal development companies, which forthe first time are authorized to issueGovernment-backed debentures that arebought by the Federal Financing Bank,an arm of the U.S. Treasury.

Through SBA's Regular GuaranteeProgram, loans are made available bycommercial banks and are guaranteedby the SBA. This program has interestrates equivalent to market rates.

For additional information on theRegular Guarantee and Section 503Programs, contact your district or localSBA Office. The SBA coordinator atEPA headquarters is Ms. FrancesDesselle who may be reached at-(202)426-7874.

General Provisions

§ 430.00 .Applicability.

'This part applies .to any pulp, paper,or paperboard mill which discharges ormay discharge process wastewaterpollutants to the waters of the UnitedStates, or which introduces or mayintroduce process wastewater pollutantsinto a publicly owned treatment works.

§ 430.01 General definitions.

In addition to the definitions set forthin 40 CFR Part 401, the followingdefinitiors apply to this part:

(a) Production shall be defined as theannual off-the-machine production(including off-the-machine coalingwhere applicable) divided by thenumber of operating days during thatyear. Paper and paperboard productionshall be measured at the off-the-machinemoisture content whereas market pulpshall be measured in air-dry-tons (10%

moisture). Production shall bedetermined for each mill based uponpast production practices, presenttrends, or committed growth.

(b) Wet barking operations shall bedefined to include hydraulic barkingoperations and wet drum barkingoperations which are those drumbarking operations that use substantialquantities of water in either watersprays in the barking drums or in apartial submersion of the drums in a"tub" of water.

(c) A non-continuous discharger is amill which is prohibited by the NPDESauthority from discharging pollutantsduring specific periods of time forreasons other than treatment plant upsetcontrol, such periods being at least 24hours in duration. A mill shall not bedeemed a non-continuous dischargerunless its permit, in addition to settingforth the prohibition described above,requires compliance with the effluentlimitations established for non-continuous dischargers and alsorequires compliance with maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations. Such maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations for non-continuousdischargers shall be established by theNPDES authority in the form ofconcentrations which reflectwastewater treatment levels that arerepresentative of the application of thebest practicable control technologycurrently available, the-bestconventional pollutant controltechnology, or new source performancestandards in lieu of the maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations for conventionalpollutants set forth in each subpart.

Subpart A-Builders' Paper andRoofing Felt Subcategory

§ 431.10 Applicability; description of thebuilders' paper and roofing feltsubcategory.

The provisions of this subpart areapplicable to discharges resulting fromthe production of builders' paper androofing felt from wastepaper.



(b) Production shall be defined as theannual off-the-machine production(including off-the-machine coatingwhere applicable) divided by thenumber of operating days during thatyear. Production shall be measured atthe off-the-machine moisture content.Production shall be determined for eachmill based upon past productionpractices, present trends, or committedgrowth.

(c) A non-continuous discharger is amill which is prohibited by the NPDES

authority from discharging pollutantsduring specific periods of time forreasons other than treatment plant upsetcontrol, such periods being at least 24hours in duration. A mill shall not bedeemed a non-continuous dischargerunless its permit, jn addition to settingforth the prohibition described above,requires compliance with the effluentlimitations established by this subpartfor non-continuous dischargers and alsorequires compliance with maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations. Such maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations for non-continuousdischargers shall be established by theNPDES authority in the form ofconcentrations which reflectwastewater treatment levels that arerepresentative of the application of thebest practicable control technologycurrently available, the bestconventional pollutant controltechnology, or new source performancestandards in lieu of the maximum dayand average of 30 consecutive dayseffluent limitations for conventionalpollutants set forth in this subpart.
