Title: Clean Water Act Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category 
Abstract:

As announced in the Preliminary ELG Program Plan 15, EPA has initiated a rulemaking to revise the existing Meat and Poultry Products (MPP) Effluent Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) (40 CFR part 432) to address nutrient discharges. The MPP ELGs were last revised in 2004 and currently apply to only a subset of facilities nationwide. The current MPP ELGs also do not limit nutrient discharges from all regulated facilities.
