The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting from the process in which shelled corn is steeped in a dilute solution of sulfurous acid and then processed by wet means into such products as animal feed, regular and modified starches, corn oil, corn syrup, and dextrose.

(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations and methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR part 401 shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term corn shall mean the shelled corn delivered to a plant before processing.
(c) The term standard bushel shall mean a bushel of shelled corn weighing 56 pounds.
(d) The abbreviation MSBu shall mean 1000 standard bushels.
(a) Except as provided in §§ 125.30 through 125.32, and subject to the provisions in paragraph (b) of this section, any existing point source subject to this subpart shall achieve the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT):

(a) Process waste water shall not be discharged to a POTW at a flow rate or pollutant mass loading rate which is excessive over any time period during the peak load at a POTW. Excessive discharges are defined as those in which the flow of BOD5 or total suspended solids (TSS) exceed the respective values of P from the following formula:
P = K(Q + R)−S
where:
P = maximum allowable peak waste load for the new corn wet milling source to be discharged to the POTW (gallons per one hour for flow and pounds per day for BOD5 and TSS).
Q = average existing waste load to POTW.
R = average waste load for the new corn wet milling source to be discharged to POTW.
S = existing peak load of POTW.
K = 2. When the ratio of (S/Q) is greater than 1.5, K = 3.
Calculations are to be based on dry weather conditions.
