to, a manufacturing, commercial or process facility, or other facility
engaged in the purchase or sale of goods, transaction of business
or who otherwise renders service to the public.
A Discharge which, alone or in conjunction with a discharge
or discharges from other sources, both: (1) Inhibits or disrupts the
POTW, its treatment processes or operations, or its sludge processes,
use or disposal; and (2) therefore is a cause of a violation of any
requirements of the POTW's NPDES permit (including an increase
in the magnitude or duration of a violation) or of the prevention
of sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with the following
statutory provisions and regulations or permits issued thereunder
(or more stringent State or local regulations): Section 405 of the
Clean Water Act, the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) (including Title
II, more commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), and including State regulations contained in any State
sludge management plan prepared pursuant to Subtitle D of the SWDA),
the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Marine
Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.
Any pretreatment standard specifying quantities or concentrations
of pollutants which may be discharged to a POTW by Industrial Users
in specific industrial subcategories as established in regulations
promulgated from time to time by the USEPA in 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter
N.
A permit issued under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System for discharge of wastewaters to the navigable waters of the
United States pursuant to the Act.
Any building, structure, facility, or installation from which
thee is or may be a Discharge of pollutants, the construction of which
commenced after the publication of proposed Pretreatment Standards
under Section 307(c) of the Act which will be applicable to such source
if such Standards are thereafter promulgated in accordance with that
section.
If National Categorical Pretreatment Standards are not applicable,
"New Source" shall mean any building, structure, facility, or installation
from which there is or may be a Discharge of pollutants, the remodeling
(if that Industrial Classification code) or the construction of which
commences after the effective date of this Ordinance.
A Discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the United
States in quantities or concentrations which, alone or in conjunction
with a discharge or discharges from other sources, is a cause of a
violation of any requirement of the POTW's NPDES permit (including
an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation).
A vehicle used for hauling wastewater, which has been granted
a permit under the requirements of this Ordinance.
Any individual, firm, company, association, society, corporation
or group.
The intensity of the acid or base condition of a solution,
calculated by taking the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen
ion concentration.
Any dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, sewage,
garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials,
radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discharged equipment, rock,
sand, cellar dirt or industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste
discharged into water.
That portion of the POTW which is designed to provide treatment
(including recycling and reclamation) of municipal sewage and industrial
waste.
