Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, any source that is a new source subject to this subpart must achieve the following performance standards:
(a) Facilities that slaughter no more than 50 million pounds per year (in units of LWK) must achieve the following performance standards:
(1) In the case of process wastewater associated with the slaughtering of animals on-site or the processing of the carcasses of animals slaughtered on-site, the standards for BOD5, fecal coliform, O&G;, and TSS are the same as the corresponding limitations specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(1); and standards for ammonia (as N) are as follows:

(2) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(3) and the following standards for ammonia (as N) apply:

(3) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with wet or low-temperature rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(4) and the following standards for ammonia (as N) apply:

(4) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in the case of case of process wastewater associated with dry rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(5) and the following standards for ammonia (as N) apply:

(b) Facilities that slaughter more than 50 million pounds per year (in units of LWK) must achieve the following performance standards.
(1) In the case of process wastewater associated with the slaughtering of animals on-site or the processing of the carcasses of animals slaughtered on-site, the standards for BOD5, fecal coliform, O&G;, and TSS are the same as the limitations specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(1) and the standards for ammonia (as N) and total nitrogen are as follows:

(2) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(3) apply.
(3) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with wet or low-temperature rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(4) apply.
(4) In addition to the standards specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, in the case of process wastewater associated with dry rendering of material derived from animals slaughtered at locations off-site and dead animals, the standards for BOD5 and TSS specified in Sec. 432.12(a)(5) apply.
(c) Any source that was a new source subject to the standards specified in Sec. 432.15 of title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, revised as of July 1, 2003, must continue to achieve the standards specified in this section until the expiration of the applicable time period specified in 40 CFR 122.29(d)(1) after which it must achieve the effluent limitations specified in Secs. 432.12 and 432.13.
