Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				  Applicability. The effluent limitations, standards of performance, pretreatment
				  standards, and other provisions of this Section are applicable to pollutants
				  and pollutant properties in discharges of wastewaters resulting from the
				  production of cane sugars, both raw sugar and refined sugar in its various
				  forms.
B. Definitions. The
				  following definitions are applicable to terms used in this Section. Definitions
				  of other terms and meanings of abbreviations are set forth in LAC
				  33:IX.107.
Gross Cane
- that amount of crop material
					 as harvested, including field trash and other extraneous material.
Melt
- that amount of raw material (raw
					 sugar) contained within aqueous solution at the beginning of the process for
					 production of refined cane sugar.
C.
				  Crystalline Cane Sugar Refining
1.
				  Applicability. The provisions of this Subsection apply to discharges resulting
				  from the processing of raw cane sugar into crystalline refined sugar.
2. Effluent Limitations, Best Practicable
				  Treatment. The following effluent limitations establish the quantity or quality
				  of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a facility
