The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting from oysters which are mechanically shucked.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations and methods of analysis set forth in part 401 of this chapter shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term product shall mean the weight of the oyster meat after shucking.
Except as provided in §§ 125.30 through 125.32, 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):
| Effluent characteristic
| Effluent limitations

| Maximum for any 1 day
| Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed—

Any existing source subject to this subpart that introduces process wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403. In addition, the following pretreatment standard establishes the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this section which may be discharged to a publicly owned treatment works by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart.

| Oil and grease | Do. |
Except for those steamed and canned oyster processing facilities which utilize air flotation treatment systems to meet the shrimp processing standards of performance for new sources under § 408.115, § 408.125, or § 408.135 and for which standards of performance should be derived on a case-by-case basis, the following standards of performance establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which may be discharged by a new source subject to the provisions of this subpart:
| Effluent characteristic
| Effluent limitations
|
|---|
| Maximum for any 1 day
| Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed—
|

Any new source subject to this subpart that introduces process wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403. In addition, the following pretreatment standard establishes the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this section which may be discharged to a publicly owned treatment works by a new source subject to the provisions of this subpart:
| Pollutant or pollutant property

| pH | Do.
|
| Oil and grease | Do. |
Except as provided in §§ 125.30 through 125.32, 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 conventional pollutant control technology (BCT): The limitations shall be the same as those specified for conventional pollutants (which are defined in § 401.16) in § 408.272 of this subpart for the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT).
