(a) Specialized definitions.
(1) Endrin Manufacturer means a
manufacturer, excluding any source which is exclusively an endrin formulator,
who produces, prepares or processes technical endrin or houses endrin as a
material in the production, preparation or processing of another synthetic
organic substance.
(2) Endrin
Formulator means a person who produces, prepares or processes a formulated
product comprising a mixture of endrin and inert materials or other diluents
into a product intended for application in any use registered under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended ( 7 U.S.C. 135, et
seq.).
(b) Endrin manufacturer--
(1) Applicability.
(i) These standards or prohibitions apply to:
(A) All discharges of process wastes;
and
(B) All discharges from the
manufacturing areas, loading and unloading areas, storage areas and other areas
which are subject to direct contamination by endrin as a result of the
manufacturing process, including but not limited to:
(1) Storm water and other runoff except as
hereinafter provided in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this subsection; and
(2) Water used for routine cleanup or cleanup
of spills.
(ii) These standards do not apply to storm
water runoff or other discharges from areas subject to contamination solely by
fallout from air emissions of endrin; or to storm water runoff that exceeds
that from the ten year 24-hour rainfall event.
(2) Analytical method
acceptable--Environmental Protection Agency method specified in 40 CFR part
136.
(3) Effluent standard--
(i) Existing sources. Discharges from an
endrin manufacturer shall not contain endrin concentrations exceeding an
average per working day of 1.5 ug/l calculated over any calendar month; and
shall not exceed a monthly average daily loading of 0.0006 kg/kkg of endrin
produced; and shall not exceed 7.5 ug/l in a sample(s) representing any working
day.
(ii) New sources. Discharges
from an endrin manufacturer shall not contain endrin concentrations exceeding
an average per working day of 0.1 ug/l calculated over any calendar month; and
shall no exceed a monthly average daily loading of 0.00004 kg/kkg of endrin
produced; and shall not exceed 0.5 ug/l in a sample(s) representing any working
day.
(iii) Mass emission standard
during shutdown of production. In compassing the allowable monthly average
daily loading figure required under the preceding paragraphs (b)(3) (i) and
(ii) of this subsection, for any calendar month for which there is no endrin
being manufactured at any plant or facility which normally contributes to the
discharge which is subject to these standards, the applicable production value
shall be deemed to be the average monthly production level for the most recent
preceding 360 days of actual operation of the plant or facility.
(c) Endrin formulator--
(1) Applicability.
(i) These standards or prohibitions apply to:
(A) All discharges of process wastes;
and
(B) All discharges from the
formulating areas, loading and unloading areas, storage areas and other areas
which are subject to direct contamination by endrin as a result of the
formulating process, including but not limited to:
(1) Storm water and other runoff except as
hereinafter provided in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this subsection; and
(2) water used for routine cleanup or cleanup
of spills.
(ii) These standards do not apply to storm
water runoff or other discharges from areas subject to contamination solely by
fallout from air emissions of endrin; or to storm-water runoff that exceeds
that from the ten year 24-hour rainfall event.
(2) Analytical method
acceptable--Environmental Protection Agency method specified in 40 CFR part
136, except that a 1-liter sample size is required to increase the analytical
sensitivity.
(3) Effluent
standard--
(i) Existing sources. Endrin is
prohibited in any discharge from any endrin formulator.
(ii) New sources--Endrin is prohibited in any
discharge from any endrin formulator.
(d) The standards set forth in this subsection shall apply to the total combined weight or concentration of endrin, excluding any associated element or compound.
