As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation
of organic matter in five days at 20° C., expressed as milligrams
per liter. Quantitative determination of BOD shall be made in accordance
with procedures set forth in Standard Methods.
That part of the lowest horizontal piping of a drainage system
which receives the discharge from soil, waste, and other drainage
pipes inside the walls of the building and conveys it to the building
sewer.
The extension from the building drain to the public sewer
or other place of disposal beginning outside the inner face of the
building.
The residue from the preparation, cooking, and dispensing
of food and from the handling, storage, and sale of food products
and produce.
Any governmental user of publicly owned treatment works which
discharges more than 25,000 gallons per day of sanitary waste or a
volume of process waste, or combined process and sanitary waste, equivalent
to 25,000 gallons per day of sanitary waste. Sanitary wastes are the
wastes discharged from the average residential user in the Village's
service area. The strength of the average residential waste discharge
in the Village's service area shall be defined in terms of a
concentration of 200 milligrams per liter biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD) and 200 milligrams per liter suspended solids (SS). These concentrations
will be applied in determining equivalent volumes of process waste
or combined discharges of sanitary and process wastes.
Any nongovernmental user of a publicly owned treatment works
which discharges wastewater to the treatment works which contains
toxic pollutants or poisonous solids, liquids, or gases in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, to injure
or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard
to humans or animals, create a public nuisance, or create any hazard
in or have an adverse effect on the waters receiving any discharge
from the treatment works.
The wastewater from an industrial process, trade, or business,
as distinct from sanitary sewage, including cooling water and the
discharge from sewage pretreatment facilities.
Any and all persons, including any individual, firm, company,
municipal or private corporation, association, society, institution,
enterprise, governmental agency, or other entity.
The logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen-ion concentration.
The concentration is the weight of the hydrogen ions in grams per
liter of solution. Neutral water, for example, has a pH value of 7
and a hydrogen-ion concentration of 10-7.
A sewer that carries liquid and water-carried wastes from
residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions,
together with minor quantities of groundwater, stormwater and surface
water that are not admitted intentionally.
Any discharge of water or wastewater which in concentration
of any given constituent or in quantity of flow exceeds for any period
of duration longer than 15 minutes more than five times the average
twenty-four-hour concentration of flows during normal operation and
shall adversely affect the system and/or performance of the wastewater
treatment works.
The examination and analytical procedures set forth in the
most recent edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water
and Wastewater, published jointly by the American Public Health Association,
the American Water Works Association, and the Water Environment Federation.[1]
Sometimes termed "storm sewer," a drain or sewer for conveying
water, groundwater, subsurface water or unpolluted water from any
source.
Solids that either float on the surface of or are in suspension
in water, wastewater, or other liquids and that are removable by laboratory
filtering as prescribed in Standard Methods for the Examination of
Water and Wastewater and referred to as "nonfilterable residue."
The spent water of a community. From the standpoint of source,
it may be a combination of the liquid and water-carried wastes from
residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants, and institutions,
together with any groundwater, surface water, and stormwater that
may be present but not intentionally admitted.
An arrangement of devices and structures for treating wastewater,
industrial wastes, and sludge. Sometimes used as synonymous with "waste
treatment."
A natural or artificial channel for the passage of water,
either continuously or intermittently.
A document issued by the Wisconsin State Department of Natural
Resources which establishes effluent limitations and monitoring requirements
for the municipal wastewater treatment facility.
