INCOMPATIBLE POLLUTANT
Any pollutant which is not a compatible pollutant.
INDUSTRIAL USER

INDUSTRIAL WASTES
Wastewater resulting from the processes employed in industrial, manufacturing, trade or business establishments as distinct from domestic wastes.
MASS EMISSION RATE
The weight of material discharged to the wastewater treatment system during a given time interval and, unless otherwise specified, means pounds per day of a particular constituent or combination of constituents.
NATURAL OUTLET
Any outlet into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake or any other body of surface or ground water.
PERSON
Any individual, firm, company, association, society, corporation, group or municipality.
PH
The logarithm of the reciprocal of the weight of hydrogen ions in grams per liter of solution.
POLLUTANT
Any waste, impurity or other additive, such as heat or radioactivity, that changes the quality and character of water delivered to the user, so that the discharged wastewater violates the standards as set in Article V of this chapter.
PRETREATMENT
The application of physical, chemical and biological processes to reduce the amount of pollutants or to alter the nature of the pollutant properties in wastewater prior to discharging such wastewater into the publicly owned wastewater treatment system.
PRETREATMENT STANDARDS
All applicable federal rules and regulations implementing Section 307 of the Act, including any amendments thereto, as well as any nonconflicting state or local standards. In cases of conflicting standards or regulations, the most stringent must be applied. In some cases these "pretreatment standards" may not be sufficient to protect the operation of the wastewater treatment system or may make it unable to comply with the terms of the SPDES permit. In such cases, the Superintendent reserves the right to impose more stringent "pretreatment standards" than those specified in the EPA regulations.
PROPERLY SHREDDED GARBAGE
The wastes from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of food that have been shredded to such a degree that all particles will be carried freely under the flow conditions normally prevailing in public sewers, with no particle greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension.
PUBLIC SEWER
A common sewer controlled by a governmental agency or public utility, either sanitary or storm.
SANITARY SEWER
A sewer that carries liquid- and water-carried wastes from residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants and institutions.
SEWER
A pipe or conduit that carries wastewater, stormwater or drainage water.
SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL USER
Any user of the publicly owned wastewater treatment system that:
(1) 
Has a flow of 50,000 gallons or more per average workday;
(2) 
Has a flow greater than 5% of the flow carried by the wastewater treatment system;
(3) 
Has in its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act;
(4) 
Is found by the Superintendent under the SPDES permit to have a significant impact, either singly or in combination with other contributing industries, upon the wastewater treatment system or upon the quality of effluent from the treatment works;
(5) 
Has in its wastewater any of the prohibited substances or characteristics in Article IV, § 123-17, Prohibitions on wastewater discharges; or
(6) 
Has in its wastewater any concentrations or characteristics in excess of those stipulated in Article IV, § 123-18, Limitations on wastewater discharges.
SLUG
Any discharge of water, wastewater or industrial waste which exceeds (in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of flow), for any period longer than 15 minutes, more than five times the average twenty-four-hour concentration or flows during normal operation and adversely affects the collection system and/or performance of the wastewater treatment system.
SPDES
The State Pollution Discharge Elimination System.
STORM DRAIN OR STORM SEWER
A sewer which carries storm and surface water and drainage, but excludes sewage and industrial wastes, other than unpolluted cooling water.
