Title: Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category (Revisions) | |
Abstract: The Agency has proposed revisions to the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category. The current regulations, at 40 CFR 432, are more than 20 years old and are limited to a few conventional pollutants. Recent concerns about nutrient discharges from these facilities might be resolved by these additional effluent limitations. In particular, the current regulations do not address ammonia nitrogen for red meat slaughterhouses/packinghouses (Subparts A-D). Nutrients are a significant remaining water quality problem for impaired streams. Revisions to the current regulations also include effluent limitations for poultry processing, which is not currently covered by any effluent guideline. | |
