In other industries. BAT limitations on conventional pollutants are withdrawn, and BCT limitations will be promulgated at a later date.
EPA initially proposed BCT limitations on August 23.1978. At that time, the public was invited to comment on the proposed regulations, and a public meeting was held. The comments received Cram the public have all been reviewed and evaluated by EPA. They have been incorporated into this final rulemaking package.

SUFFLEMENTARY information:
1. Background
Legal Basis
On August 23.1978. EPA published proposed "best conventional pollutant control technology" (BCT] for selected industries. The proposed regulations were developed in response to Section 304(b)(4)(B) of the 1977 Amendments to the Clean Water Act (CWA). Section 304(b)(4)(B) instructs EPA to determine BCT through an analysis o
Hit reasonableness of the relationship between the costs of attaining a reduction In effluents end the affluent reduction benefits derived, end thu comparison of the cost and level of reduction of such pollutants from the
discharge of publicly owned ireatae'U works to the cost and levjl of red.icti.To of sich
pollutant* from a class or category of
industrial sources.
The Act also specifies that additional consideration be given In making BCT determinations to the age of equipment, production process, energy requirements, and other appropriate factors.
BCT is not an additional effluent limitation for industrial dischargers, but rather it replaces `best available technology economically achievable" (BAT) for the control of conventional pollutants. BAT will remain in force for all non-conventional and toxic pollutants. Effluent limitations representing BCT may not be more stringent than BAT. However. BCT. like BAT. is subject to periodic review, and progress in waste treatment technology may warrant subsequent revision. In no case will BCT limitations be leas stringent than limitations representing "best practicable technology currently
available" (BPT). Section 73 of the CWA of1977 directs
the Agency to review, immediately, all
existing final or interim final BAT effluent guidelines for conventional pollutants In those industries not covered in the Settlement Agreement reached in NRDC v. Trtu'a. 8 ERC 2120 (DD.C. 1978). These industries are o'>en

(a) Background. The objective of this review is to evaluate existing BAT limitations for the "secondary" Industries to determine if they satisfy the criteria for BCT contained i> section 304(b)(4)(B). That section, which requires a consideration of the "East reasonableness" of effluent limitations for conventional pollutants, has necessitated the development of a wholly new methodology for evaluating existing effluent limitations and for developing subsequent BCT limitations. 1
In developing the methodology for this regulation. EPA was guided both by the statutory language of section 304(b)(4)(B) and by Congress' underlying objectives in establishing BCT. The legislative history makes it dear that Congress was concerned that requirements for the control of ___ conventional pollutants, beyond BPT may, in some cases, be unreasonably
expensive. Congress recognized that at some point costs for such control begin to exceed associated "effluent reduction benefits", and thus established BCT to ensure that any limitations controlling conventional pollutants at a level more stringent than BPT were "reasonable".
This regulation satisfies those objectives. The core of the Agency's
BCT methodology is a comparison of tha coats of removing additional pounds of conventional pollutants for industry with comparable costs of removal for an average publicly owned treatment works (POTW). This cost figure for the POTW constitutes the basic measure of "reasonableness" established by the Act. As Senator Muskie noted:
The Administrator must determine, whether or not the cost of achieving reductions of conventional pollutants bears s reasonable relationship to tha amount of affluent reduction achieved. In making this determination, the Administrator is to compare the costs of industrial effluent reduction to the coat of municipal waste treatment.
There are, however, a range of
(3) A uniform measure of reasonableness Is established for all Industries throughout the country. This ensures that no industry will be required to exceed a specified cost per pound for removal of conventional pollutants. In consequence. Industries with high costs for removal of conventional pollutants, in many cases, will be subject to lass stringent effluent' limitations.
(4) A greater proportion of the total costa for control of conventional : pollutants will now be allocated to
industries and segments of industries comprised of large facilities. These facilities are able to remove conventional pollutants at the lowest cost
(5) Tha final methodology results in the relief which Congress Intended for control of conventional pollutants, and resolves the uneven Impact of existing BAT limitations. Of the 93 industry subcategories evaluated in detail in this review. 22 hava reasonable BAT limitations, 13 have unreasonable

further analysis. For those subcategories
In which BAT was found to.be unreasonable, or requiring further analysis, EPA will undertake further study to dsvalop appropriate BCT limitations.
These new limitations will result in a substantial reduction in expenditures for control of conventional pollutants.
While this regulation covers only secondary Industries, when the methodology Is applied to the development of BCT limitations for the control of conventional pollutants in tha primary industries, substantial additional savings will b* realized

review are drawn from tha Agency Development Documents which were prepared for each of tha affected Industries (See Appendix A). The data are updated to 1978 dollars, so that they
can be compared on a consistent basis. (2) Calculation ofInduatrial Pollutant
RemovaliThe Incremental removal of conventional pollutants is calculated by determining the difference between the
annual pounds of conventional pollutants removed after compliances with BPT and the pounds removed after
compliance with the candidata BCT. The conventional pollutants subject to thig, review fall into two categories: suspended solids (TSS), and oxygen
demanding substances (BODJ and oil and grease). To avoid "double counting" of the amount of pollutants removed, the
incremental pounds removed from BPT to candidate BCT are calculated using only one pollutant horn each group. In those cases where both BOD5 and oil and grease are subject to limitations, tha pollutant with tha greater amount of
removal la Included in the calculation. If a group ia not represented in the effluent limitation guideline for tha subcategory, thenjt is not Included in the evaluation. Table 3 details tha pollutants to be used in the calculation.

The objective of this review is to evaluate existing BAT limitations for the "secondary" Industries to determine if they satisfy the criteria for BCT contained is section 304(b)(4)(B). That section, which requires a consideration of the "5ost reasonableness" of effluent limitations for conventional pollutants, has necessitated the development of a wholly new methodology for evaluating existing effluent limitations and for developing subsequent BCT limitations.

Industries with high costs for removal of conventional pollutants, in many cases, will be subject to less stringent affluent limitations.
(4) A greater proportion of the total coats for control of conventional pollutants will now be allocated to Industries and ssgments of industries comprised of large facilities. These facilities are able to remove conventional pollutants at the lowest cost
(5) The final methodology results in the relief which Congress Intended for control of conventional pollutants, and resolves ths uneven Impact of existing BAT limitations. Of the 93 industry subeategories evaluated in detail in this review, 22 have reasonable BAT limitations. 13 have unreasonable limitations, 6 have splifdeterminationi depending on the size of plant. 7 are not affected by this review because the BAT limitations in those oases are designed to control toxic pollutants, while the remaining 4S as noted above will require further analysis. For those subcategories in which BAT was found to.be unreasonable, or requiring further analysis. EPA will undertake further
study to develop appropriate BCT limitations.
These new limitations will result in a substantial reduction in expenditures for control of conventional pollutants. While this regulation covers only

clear, however, that tha POTW coats are
from 136 to $1.72 per pound of pollutant removed. This approach resulted in some industries with relatively high treatment costs being ludged to have reasonable BAT limitations because they were compared to a POTW with a high cost. Other industries, however, with relatively low costs, were determined to have unreasonable BAT limitations because the POTW they were measured against had low costs.
To rectify this inequity. EPA is now employing a single POTW comparisonfigure based on an average size POTW of 2 mgd. This approach will result in a
more "economically efficient" solution. Those subcategories that can cheaply achieve stringent limitations will
continue to do so. but for those where it is relatively expensive, some relief will be given. Ifte single coat figure approach has the additional advantage of being far easier to apply. A discussion of tha specific calculation of tha POTW figure is contained in Appendix B.
(c) The Concentration Test Tha
methodology used by EPA in developing the proposed BCT regulations Included a second, "concentration test", that wad applied to any industry regulation which did not pass die BCT test In cases where an industry's effluent had an significantly higher pollutant
to provide a benchmark for judging tha "reasonableness" of industry limitations.
One appropriate measure of POTW costs is the marginal costs of removal at secondary treatment Although Congress did not state that tha secondary treatment level was significant in determining BCT. it Is the current legal requirement for most POTWs and the level at which the bulk of existing POTWs are now operating. Calculation of tha costs per pound of conventional pollutant removal based on tha increment from secondary to advanced
secondary yields the beat approximation of such marginal costs. Although an Increment which narrowly straddles secondary treatment would have been preferable in ^identifying marginal costs, adequats data on such an Increment do not exist.
In establishing the POTW cost comparison figure. Congress may also have been concerned with identifying the "knee-of-the-curve" for POTW coats and effluent reduction benefits. The Agency has submitted to Congress
analyses which indicate that costs for pollution control to achieve pollutant concentrations lower than 10 mg/1 of BOD and 10 mg/1 of TSS begin to rise sharply in relation to effluent reduction benefits. Essentially, advanced

BPWTT haa never been precisely defined by EPA. and most POTWs will continue to operate at secondary treatment Nonetheless, Congress haa not modified the obligation of POTWs to achieve more stringent levels. Although concerned with funding of expensive advanced wastewater treatment systems. Congress haa continued to fund construction of POTWs at better than secondary levels. EPA haa judged that funding for construction of POTWs employing advanced secondary treatment is reasonable, and not subject to special intensified review.
(e) Calculation of Conventional Pollutant Removal. EPA originally proposed that if BOD5 and oil and grease were both regulated, only the pounds of BODd were to be Included ixr the calculation of the Incremental pounds of conventional pollutants removed. Thia has been modified and * when both an regulated, the pollutant with tha greater amount of removal will be Included in tha calculation. The Agency feels that the total effluent reduction benefits an beat identified by using the pollutant in a given category which haa the gnater amount of removal in the calculation. However, a single pollutant in a category will continue to be used in the calculation because of tha diffloilty of allocating costs of removal between pollutants.
Additionally, total phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand were proposed as conventional pollutants, and they were included in the-Agency's proposed BCT methodology. However, the proposal to designate these pollutants as conventional has been withdrawn, and they have been excluded from consideration in thia rulemaking.

ments received and a discussion of these comments with the Agency's response thereto follows.
a. Summary of comments. The fol lowing responded to the request for writ
ten comments contained in the preamble to the proposed regulation: Asbestos Information Association/North America
and Raybestoa-Manhattan, Inc. Each of tha comments received was
carefully reviewed and analysed. The fol
lowing Is a summary of the significant comments and the Agency's response to them.
1. Several comments were mads which questioned the appropriateness of carbon absorption columns as the best available
technology economically achievable
dustries.
In the effluent limitations guidelines
herewith promulgated, this has been ac complished by expressing the U.-rutat.an.s in terms of weight of pollutants per
weight of finished coated textiles for the solvent recovery subeategory and weight of pollutants per unit of air scrubbed lor the wet dust collection subcategory.
b. Revision of the proposed reputa
tions prior to promulgation. As a result
of public comments and continuing re view and evaluation of the proposed
regulation by the EPA. the following changes have been made In the regula
tion.
(1) Tha applicable technolgBT and limitations tor BATEA within ;the sol
