Except as specifically provided in the U.S. CFR, any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve the effluent limitations shown in Table 9.19 which represents the degree of effluent reduction attainable by applying the BAT. Alternatively, for the metal finishing industrial facilities with cyanide treatment, and upon agreement between a source subject to those limits and the pollution control authority, the amenable cyanide limit shown in Table 9.20 may apply in place of the total cyanide limit specified in Table 9.19. No user subject to the provisions of these regulations shall augment the use of process wastewater or otherwise dilute the wastewater as a partial or total substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with this limitation. 

PSNS, shown in Table 9.25. Alternatively, for industrial facilities with cyanide treatment, and upon agreement between a source subject to these limits and the pollution control authority, the amenable cyanide limit shown in Table 9.26 may apply in place of the total cyanide limit specified in Table 9.25.

Norway - Daphtoxkit F magna microbiotest (acute toxicity tests with Daphnia magna) - The Thamnotoxkit F microbiotest (acute toxicity tests with Thamnocephalus platyurus) - The Artoxkit M microbiotest (acute toxicity tests with Artemia salina/franciscana) The assays are to be included in the national law as official ecotoxicological parameters. The State Pollution Control Authority requires ecotoxicological characterization of industrial effluents in combination with the renewal of permissions for the discharge of effluents. 

The Norwegian approach to REACH constitutes the fullest possible assimilation to the EU regulatory framework for chemicals management (Norwegian Pollution Control Authority [SFT] 2007). The REACH Regulation has been translated into...

Determine the collection efficiency required by the air-pollution-control authority. This efficiency is, simply, (inlet loading — outlet loading)/(inlet loading). In the present example, it equals (0.5 — 0.1)/(0.5), i.e., 0.8, or 80 percent. 

Does the cyclone meet the requirements of the pollution-control authority As an 80 percent efficiency is required whereas the cyclone achieves only a 72 percent efficiency, the cyclone does not meet the requirements. 

At our institute we are currently working on a project called Analysis of pollution control countermeasures in Oslo , or the Oslo-project for short. The Oslo roject is conducted by the Norwegian State Pollution Control Authority, and the objective is to identify pollution control actions, and to rank these according to their cost-effectiveness. The study is still in an early phase, and we are therefore only able to present some preliminary results.

Very toxic and toxic substances and preparations can nwmally only be sold to the public by holders of a permit from the State Pollution Control Authority. 

Waste water and other residues from the laboratory which might be prejudicial to the workers or to public health shall be disposed of after suitable treatment as per the prevailing requirements of the water pollution control authorities to render them harmless. 

Studies by the Minnesota Pollution Control Authority (MPCA) show that slip sediments are contaminated with PAHs, PCBs, mercury, and other miscellaneous... 

Formal agreements with the pollution control authorities for the natural environment and with the health authorities for health-related issues were established. Agreements on technical support were also entered into with a number of other regulatory agencies which no longer had any formal responsibility for the oil and gas industry. Coordination and support between many different government agencies represented a new approach to administration and differed from the common model... 

Inspection of the facilities for treatment of liquid effluents and gaseous emissions and disposal plants (with air pollution control) for solid wastes is carried out by State Pollution Control Authorities before granting consent to operate. 

Characteristics of the effluents (chlorides, sulphates, nitrates, etc.) heavy metals, calorific value, and ash content shall be studied to determine the disposal path. The guidelines given by Statutory Pollution Control Authorities in the country shall be followed for this purpose. The attached figures show typical pollution control schemes for solid, liquid, and gaseous effluents. 

Proper in-house treatment and disposal of the harmless material— this can be allowed by State Pollution Control Authorities, provided the treated effluent meets the prescribed standards. 

Sending to authorised secured landfill sites after rendering the effluent harmless by neutralising and immobilising the pollutants. This can be allowed by State Pollution Control Authorities, provided the disposed material in the landfill will not result in pollution of groundwater. Full details of the treated waste shall be given to the operator of the landfill site. 

The wastes which cannot be treated in-house may be sent to secured landfill sites or sent to Common Effluent Treatment Plants or CHWTSTD facilities after carrying out primary treatment and entering into an agreement with the authorised operator of this activity and with permission of Statutory Pollution Control Authorities. 

If the analysis of solid waste meets the guidelines given by State Pollution Control Authority (for chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, heavy metals) and has low calorific values, then it can be neutralised by the addition of lime, and immobilised by the addition of sodium silicate, fly ash, and portland cement as binding agent. It is now to be tested for oozing out of leachate when it is made wet (due to rainwater in practice), and can then be sent to the secured landfill site. This site is selected away from water bodies such as lakes, rivers, weUs, and groundwater sources for drinking water. 

Provide layers of thick water proof membranes as liners at base and sides (to prevent migration of leachate or gas) made of high-density polyethylene at least 1.5 mm thick and tensile strength as per instructions from State Pollution Control Authority. 

Managements of chemical industries are required to destroy the incinerable wastes generated in their plants by law as per prevalent guidelines issued by Statutory Pollution Control Authorities in the particular country. The facilities required will generally consist of installation of suitable incinerators, secondary combustion unit, air pollution control facilities, and exit gas chimney. Approval shall be obtained for these before commissioning their production plants. 

Guarantees for achieving the prescribed quality of the treated effluent (which must meet the standards set by Statutory Pollution Control Authorities wherein the pH, maximum TDS—total dissolved solid concentration, minimum dissolved oxygen, and maximum permissible concentration of heavy metals, chlorides, nitrates, and sulphates are given). 

Maximum pennissible concentrations of individual pollutant, e.g. acid mist, SO2, HCl, NOx, and dust particles in gases going out liom the scrubber—this must meet the standards set by State Statutory Pollution Control Authorities. Separation efficiency desired for particles of different sizes to be informed by plant engineers (say for particles between 1 and 3 p, 3-5 p, microns etc.). Recovery of collected dust if possible (from cyclone, bag filters). 

Material balance calculations for the plant shall be updated and shall be available on demand by State Pollution Control Authorities. 

The exit gases from the process plants are to be properly treated by using equipments such as bag filters, venturi, and packed tower scrubbers per pollution control laws. Tall chimneys shall be provided to release these treated gases and shall be fitted with necessary accessories such as sampling points, aviation warning lamps, and lightening arresters. The heights of these chimneys shall be as per directives from State Pollution Control Authorities. 

The most likely reasons that RNNP/PSAN does not include the above type of DSHAs are either, 1) the events are to rare to provide the basis for statistics -this will in general also be true for installation-specific DSHAs, or 2) the events concern areas of responsibility beyond the authority of PSAN, such as, e.g., the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority.

Emission standards are govemmentally promulgated limits on the emission of a pollutant from a process. There are limits on the emission of specific gaseous, vapor, and particulate pollutants from any process and on their emission from specific processes. Some countries (e.g., the United States) officially promulgate and publish their emission standards for new sources for a number of processes and for hazardous pollutants from ary process (Table XI). In the United States, emission standards for existing sources are promulgated and published by state and local air pollution control authorities. Some countries (e.g., Russia) do not promulgate or publish emission standards. 

As a general rule, where an emission standard has been promulgated, no new source ean be built or an existing source substantially altered without a permit from the air pollution control authority having jurisdiction. The permit is issued only after that authority has satisfied itself that the applieable emission standard will not be exceeded or in some cases, as discussed further later, that the air quality standard for the pollutant will not be exceeded.
