For the purpose of this section, the following
terms, phrases, words and their derivations shall have the meanings
stated herein unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly
demonstrates a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context,
words used in the present tense include the future, words used in
the plural number include the singular number, and words used in the
singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always
mandatory and not merely directory. The definitions below are the
same as or based on corresponding definitions in the New Jersey Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2.
Shall mean waste and wastewater from humans or household
operations.
Shall mean any physical or nonphysical connection that discharges
domestic sewage, noncontact cooling water, process wastewater or other
industrial waste (other than stormwater) to the municipal separate
storm sewer system operated by the Township of Bernards, unless that
discharge is authorized under a NJPDES permit other than the Tier

flows or overflows into the municipal separate storm sewer system.

to, those pollutants regulated under Section 307(a), (b) or (c) of

(c)].
Shall mean a conveyance or system of conveyances (including

to control fouling of equipment such as heat exchangers and/or corrosion
inhibitors.

firm, association or political subdivision of this state subject to
municipal jurisdiction.

to, leachate and cooling water other than noncontact cooling water.

rain and snow) that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to
