Intent. The intent of this section is to provide definitions for terms listed in the Schedule of District Use Regulations.[1] The original table was built in 1989 using SIC (Standard Industrial Codes) to show land use by establishments by activity type. The past number of years, the SIC information has had updates and been migrated to websites. The information below has been collected from website http://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html to provide the explanation.
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) has been replaced by the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), but several data sets are still available with SIC-based data. Both the SIC and NAICS classify establishments by their primary type of activity. (The website http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/sic.html provided this statement.)
Below are listed websites to get further definitions on specific business type establishment activities:
http://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html
http://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sicsearch.html
http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html
NOTE: Terms that are listed in the Schedule of District Use Regulations but not found below are defined in § 245-56, General definitions.
A. 
Division A: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Mining.
AGRICULTURE
This major group includes establishments (e.g., farms, orchards, greenhouses, nurseries) primarily engaged in the production of crops, plants, vines and trees (excluding forestry operations). This major group also includes establishments primarily engaged in the operation of sod farms and cranberry bogs; in the production of mushrooms, bulbs, flower seeds, and vegetable seeds; and in the growing of hydroponics crops. Seeds of field crops are classified in the same industry as crops grown for other purposes.
AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION LIVESTOCK AND ANIMAL SPECIALTIES
This major group includes establishments (e.g., farms, ranches, dairies, feedlots, egg production facilities, broiler facilities, poultry hatcheries, apiaries) primarily engaged in the keeping, grazing, or feeding of livestock for the sale of livestock or livestock products (including serums), for livestock increase, or for value increase. "Livestock," as used here, includes cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, and poultry of all kinds; also included in this major group are animal specialties, such as horses, rabbits, bees, pets, fish in captivity, and fur-bearing animals in captivity.
AGRICULTURAL SERVICES
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged in performing soil preparation services, crop services, veterinary services, other animal services, farm labor and management services, and landscape and horticultural services for others on a contract or fee basis. However, feedlots and poultry hatcheries operated on a contract or fee basis are included in Major Group 02 (above).
FORESTRY
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged in the operation of timber tracts, tree farms, forest nurseries, and related activities such as reforestation services and the gathering of gums, barks, balsam needles, maple sap, Spanish moss, and other forest products.
FISHING, HUNTING and TRAPPING
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged in commercial fishing (including crabbing, lobstering, clamming, oystering, and the gathering of sponges and seaweed), and the operation of fish hatcheries and fish and game preserves, in commercial hunting and trapping, and in game propagation.
MINING
(1) 
This division includes all establishments primarily engaged in mining. The term "mining" is used in the broad sense to include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally: solids such as coal and ores; liquids such as crude petroleum; and gases such as natural gas. The term "mining" is also used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, milling (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, flotation), and other preparation customarily done at the mine site or as a part of mining activity.
(2) 
Exploration and development of mineral properties are included. Services performed on a contract or fee basis in the development or operation of mineral properties are classified separately but within this division. Establishments which have complete responsibility for operating mines, quarries, or oil and gas wells for others on a contract or fee basis are classified according to the product mined rather than as mineral services.
(3) 
Mining operations are classified by industry on the basis of the principal mineral produced, or, if there is no production, on the basis of the principal mineral for which exploration or development work is in process. The mining of culm banks, ore dumps, and tailing piles is classified as mining according to the principal mineral product derived.
(4) 
Crushing, grinding, or otherwise preparing clay, ceramic, and refractory minerals, barite and miscellaneous nonmetallic minerals, except fuels, not in conjunction with mining or quarrying operations, are classified as Manufacturing Industry.
MINING AND QUARRYING OF NONMETALLIC MINERALS, EXCEPT FUELS
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged in mining or quarrying, developing mines, or exploring for nonmetallic minerals, except fuels. Also included are certain well and brine operations and primary preparation plants, such as those engaged in crushing, grinding, washing, or other concentration.
B. 
Division B: Construction Trade Uses.
CONSTRUCTION
(1) 
This division includes establishments primarily engaged in construction. The term "construction" includes new work, additions, alterations, reconstruction, installations, and repairs. Construction activities are generally administered or managed from a relatively fixed place of business, but the actual construction work is performed at one or more different sites. If a company has more than one relatively fixed place of business from which it undertakes or manages construction activities and for which separate data on the number of employees, payroll, receipts, and other establishment-type records are maintained, each such place of business is considered a separate construction establishment.
(2) 
Three broad types of construction activity are covered: a) building construction by general contractors or by operative builders; b) heavy construction other than building by general contractors and special trade contractors; and c) construction activity by other special trade contractors. Special trade contractors are primarily engaged in specialized construction activities, such as plumbing, painting, and electrical work, and work for general contractors under subcontract or directly for property owners. General contractors usually assume responsibility for an entire construction project but may subcontract to others all of the actual construction work or those portions of the project that require special skills or equipment. General contractors thus may or may not have construction workers on their payroll.
(3) 
Building construction general contractors are primarily engaged in the construction of dwellings, office buildings, stores, farm buildings, and other building construction projects. Operative builders who build on their own account for resale are also included in this division. However, investment builders who build structures on their own account for rental are classified in Real Estate.
(4) 
General contractors and special trade contractors for heavy construction other than building are primarily engaged in the construction of highways; pipelines, communications and power lines, and sewer and water mains; and other heavy construction projects. Special trade contractors are classified in heavy construction other than building if they are primarily engaged in activities such as grading for highway and airport runways; guardrail construction; installation of highway signs; asphalt and concrete construction of roads, highways, streets and public sidewalks; trenching; cable laying; conduit construction; underwater rock removal; pipeline wrapping; or land clearing and leveling.
(5) 
Other special trade contractors undertake activities of a type that are either specialized to building construction or may be undertaken for building or nonbuilding projects. These activities include painting (including bridge painting and traffic lane painting) and electrical work (including work on bridges, power lines and power plants).
(6) 
Separate establishments primarily engaged in the sale and installation of the following illustrative types of structures or integral parts of structures generally site assembled are classified in construction rather than in trade:
(a) 
Steel work on bridges or buildings;
(b) 
Elevators and escalators;
(c) 
Sprinkler systems;
(d) 
Central air-conditioning and heating equipment;
(e) 
Communications equipment; and
(f) 
Insulation materials.
(7) 
On the other hand, establishments primarily engaged in the sale and installation of the following illustrative types of preassembled equipment are classified in trade rather than in construction:
(a) 
Major household appliances, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, stoves and ranges; and
(b) 
Partitions for banks, stores, and restaurants.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION – GENERAL CONTRACTORS AND OPERATIVE BUILDERS
This major group includes general contractors and operative builders primarily engaged in the construction of residential, farm, industrial, commercial, or other buildings. General building contractors who combine a special trade with the contracting are included in this major group.
HEAVY CONSTRUCTION OTHER THAN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS
This major group includes general contractors primarily engaged in heavy construction other than building, such as highways and streets, bridges, sewers, railroads, irrigation projects, flood control projects and marine construction, and special trade contractors primarily engaged in activities of a type that are clearly specialized to such heavy construction and are not normally performed on buildings or building-related projects. Specialized activities that are covered here include grading for highways and airport runways; guardrail construction; installation of highway signs; trenching; underwater rock removal; and asphalt and concrete construction of roads, highways, streets and public sidewalks.
CONSTRUCTION – SPECIAL TRADE CONTRACTORS
(1) 
This major group includes special trade contractors who undertake activities of a type that are specialized either to building construction, including work on mobile homes, or to both building and nonbuilding projects. These activities include painting (including bridge painting and traffic lane painting), electrical work (including work on bridges, power lines, and power plants), carpentry work, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, roofing, and sheet metal work.
(2) 
Special trade contractors may work on subcontract from the general contractor, performing only part of the work covered by the general contract, or they may work directly for the owner. Special trade contractors for the most part perform their work at the site of construction, although they also may have shops where they perform work incidental to the job site.

Division C: Manufacturing Uses.
MANUFACTURING
(1) 
The manufacturing division includes establishments engaged in the mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products. These establishments are usually described as plants, factories, or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment. Establishments engaged in assembling component parts of manufactured products are also considered manufacturing if the new product is neither a structure nor other fixed improvement. Also included is the blending of materials, such as lubricating oils, plastics resins, or liquors.
(2) 
The materials processed by manufacturing establishments include products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing establishments. The new product of a manufacturing establishment may be finished in the sense that it is ready for utilization or consumption or it may be semifinished to become a raw material for an establishment engaged in further manufacturing. For example, the product of the copper smelter is the raw material used in electrolytic refineries; refined copper is the raw material used by copper wire mills; and copper wire is the raw material used by certain electrical equipment manufacturers.
(3) 
The materials used by manufacturing establishments may be purchased directly from producers, obtained through customary trade channels, or secured without recourse to the market by transferring the product from one establishment to another which is under the same ownership. Manufacturing production is usually carried on for the wholesale market, for inter-plant transfer, or to order for industrial users, rather than for direct sale to the domestic consumer.
(4) 
There are numerous borderline cases between manufacturing and other divisions of the classification system. Specific instances will be found in the descriptions of the individual industries. The following activities, although not always considered as manufacturing, are so classified:
(a) 
Milk bottling and pasteurizing;
(b) 
Fresh fish packaging (oyster shucking, fish filleting);
(c) 
Apparel jobbing (assigning of materials to contract factories or shops for fabrication or other contract operations) as well as contracting on materials owned by others;
(d) 
Publishing;
(e) 
Ready-mixed concrete production;
(f) 
Leather converting;
(g) 
Logging;
(h) 
Wood preserving;
(i)

(j) 
Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing for the trade;
(k) 
Lapidary work for the trade; and
(l) 
Fabricating of signs and advertising displays.
(5) 
There are also some manufacturing-type activities performed by establishments which are primarily engaged in activities covered by other divisions and are, thus, not classified as manufacturing. A few of the more important examples are:
(a) 
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Processing on farms is not considered manufacturing if the raw materials are grown on the farm and if the manufacturing activities are on a small scale without the extensive use of paid labor. Other exclusions are threshing and cotton ginning.
(b) 
Mining. The dressing and beneficiating of ores; the breaking, washing, and grading of coal; the crushing and breaking of stone; and the crushing, grinding, or otherwise preparing of sand, gravel, and nonmetallic chemical and fertilizer minerals other than barite are classified in Mining.
(c)

RETAIL TRADE
(1) 
This division includes establishments engaged in selling merchandise for personal or household consumption and rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods. In general, retail establishments are classified by kind of business according to the principal lines of commodities sold (groceries, hardware, etc.), or the usual trade designation (drugstore, cigar store, etc.). Some of the important characteristics of retail trade establishments are: the establishment is usually a place of business and is engaged in activities to attract the general public to buy; the establishment buys or receives merchandise as well as sells; the establishment may process its products, but such processing is incidental or subordinate to selling; the establishment is considered as retail in the trade; and the establishment sells to customers for personal or household use. Not all of these characteristics need be present and some are modified by trade practice.
(2) 
For the most part, establishments engaged in retail trade sell merchandise to the general public for personal or household consumption. Exceptions to this general rule are lumber yards; paint, glass, and wallpaper stores; typewriter stores; stationery stores; and gasoline service stations which sell to both the general public for personal or household consumption and to businesses. These types of stores are classified in Retail Trade even if a higher proportion of their sales is made to other than individuals for personal or household consumption.
(3) 
However, establishments that sell these products only to institutional or industrial users and to other wholesalers and establishments that sell similar merchandise for use exclusively by business establishments are classified in Wholesale Trade.
(4) 
Establishments primarily engaged in selling such merchandise as plumbing equipment; electrical supplies; used automobile parts; and office furniture are classified in Wholesale Trade, even if a higher proportion of their sales is made to individuals for personal or household consumption.
(5) 
Buying of goods for resale to the consumer is a characteristic of retail trade establishments that particularly distinguishes them from the agricultural and extractive industries. For example, farmers who sell only their own produce at or from the point of production are not classified as retailers.
(6) 
Processing incidental or subordinate to selling often is conducted at retail stores. For example, restaurants prepare meals, and meat markets cut meat. Separate establishments selling merchandise for personal or household consumption which has been manufactured by other establishments of the same company are classified in Retail Trade.
(7) 
Chain store warehouses are considered auxiliary to the retail establishment served and are classified on the basis of the activity carried on by such retail stores.
(8) 
Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of used motor vehicles, trailers, and boats are classified in Major Group 55; those selling used mobile homes are classified in Industry 5271; those selling used automobile parts are classified in Wholesale Trade, Industry 5015; and those selling all other used merchandise are classified in Industry Group 593.
