(b) Combined waste receipts from subparts A, B and C of this part. (1) Limitations for the following parameters are the same as the corresponding limitation specified in § 437.42(b)(1):

Organic parameters Acetone Acetophenone bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 2-Butanone Butylbenzyl phthalate Carbazole o-Cresol p-Cresol n-Decane Fluoranthene n-Octadecane Phenol Pyridine 2,4,6-trichlorophenol Metal parameters Antimony Arsenic Cadmium Chromium Cobalt Copper Lead Mercury Nickel Silver Tin Titanium Vanadium Zinc

(2) The in-plant limitations that apply to metal-bearing wastewater containing cyanide are the same as the corresponding limitations specified in § 437.42(b)(2).

(c) Combined waste receipts from subparts A and B of this part. (1) Limitations for the following parameters are the same as the corresponding limitation specified in § 437.42(c)(1):

Organic parameters Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate Butylbenzyl phthalate Carbazole n-Decane Fluoranthene n-Octadecane Metal parameters Antimony Arsenic Cadmium Chromium Cobalt Copper Lead Mercury Nickel Silver Tin Titanium Vanadium Zinc

(2) The in-plant limitations that apply to metal-bearing wastewater containing cyanide are the same as the corresponding limitations specified in § 437.42(c)(2).

(d) Combined waste receipts from subparts A and C of this part. (1) Limitations for the following parameters are the same as the corresponding limitation specified in § 437.42(d)(1):

Organic parameters Acetone Acetophenone 2-Butanone o-Cresol p-Cresol Phenol Pyridine 2,4,6-trichlorophenol Metal parameters Antimony Arsenic Cadmium Chromium Cobalt Copper Lead Mercury Nickel Silver Tin Titanium Vanadium Zinc

(2) The in-plant limitations that apply to metal-bearing wastewater containing cyanide are the same as the corresponding limitations specified in § 437.42(e)(2).

(e) Combined waste receipts from subparts B and C of this part. Limitations for the following parameters are the same as the corresponding limitation specified in § 437.42(e):

Organic parameters Acetone Acetophenone Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 2-Butanone Butylbenzyl phthalate Carbazole o-Cresol p-Cresol n-Decane Fluoranthene n-Octadecane Phenol Pyridine 2,4,6-trichlorophenol Metal parameters Arsenic Cadmium Chromium Cobalt Copper Lead Mercury Tin Zinc [65 FR 81300, Dec. 22, 2000, as amended at 68 FR 71024, 71025, Dec. 22, 2003]
