| Effluent characteristic | Effluent limitations | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum for any 1 day | Average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not exceed— | |
| Metric units (g/kkg of furnace pull) | ||
| Oil | 260.0 | 130.0 |
| TSS | 300.0 | 150.0 |
| Fluoride | 140.0 | 70.0 |
| Lead | 39.0 | 4.5 |
| pH | ( 1) | ( 1) |
| English units (lb/1,000 lb of furnace pull) | ||
| Oil | 0.26 | 0.13 |
| TSS | 0.30 | 0.15 |
