Current through June 24, 2024
(1) COMBINED WASTE STREAMS. In the event that
				waste streams from various subcategories or segments of subcategories in this
				chapter are combined for treatment and discharge, the quantity and
				concentration of each pollutant or pollutant property in the combined discharge
				that is subject to effluent limitations may not exceed the quantity and
				concentration of each pollutant or pollutant property that could have been
				discharged had each waste stream been treated separately. In addition, the
				discharge flow from the combined discharge may not exceed the volume that could
				have been discharged had each waste stream been treated separately.
(2) STORM EXEMPTION FOR FACILITIES PERMITTED
				TO DISCHARGE. If, as a result of precipitation or snowmelt, a source with an
				allowable discharge under this chapter has an overflow or excess discharge of
				effluent which does not meet the limitations of this chapter, the source may
				qualify for an exemption from such limitations with respect to such discharge
				if the following conditions are met:
(a) The
				facility is designed, constructed, and maintained to contain the maximum volume
				of wastewater which would be generated by the facility during a 24-hour period
				without an increase in volume from precipitation and the maximum volume of
				wastewater resulting from a 10-year, 24-hour precipitation event or treat the
				maximum flow associated with these volumes. In computing the maximum volume of
				wastewater which would result from a 10-year, 24-hour precipitation event, the
				facility shall include the volume which would result from all areas
				contributing runoff to the individual treatment facility, i.e., all runoff that
				is not diverted from the active mining area and runoff which is not diverted
				from the mill area.
(b) The
				facility takes all reasonable steps to maintain treatment of the wastewater and
				minimize the amount of overflow.
(c) The facility complies with the
				notification requirements of
				40
				CFR 122.41(m) and (n). The
				storm exemption is designed to provide an affirmative defense to an enforcement
				action. Therefore, the operator has the burden of demonstrating to the
				appropriate authority that the conditions have been met.
