Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise,
the meanings of terms used in this chapter shall be as follows:
American Society for Testing and Materials.
The quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation
of matter under standard laboratory procedure in five days at 20°
C., expressed in milligrams per liter.
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,
beginning five feet [1.5 meters] outside the inner face of the building
wall.
The extension from the building drain to the public sewer
or other place of disposal.
A sewer intended to receive both wastewater and storm- or
surface water.
An acquired legal right for the specific use of land owned
by others.
Oil, fat or grease in a physical state such that it will
separate by gravity from wastewater by treatment in an approved pretreatment
facility. A wastewater shall be considered free of "floatable fat"
if it is properly pretreated and the wastewater does not interfere
with the collection system.
The animal and vegetable waste resulting from the handling,
preparation, cooking and serving of foods and from the sale and storage
of produce.
The wastewater from industrial processes, trade or business,
as distinct from domestic or sanitary wastes.
Any outlet, including storm sewers and combined sewer overflows,
into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake or other body of surface or
ground water.
The operator of the wastewater facilities of the Incorporated
Village of Ocean Beach, or his authorized deputy, agent or representative.
Any individual, firm, company, association, society, corporation
or group.
The reciprocal of the logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration.
The concentration is the weight of hydrogen ions, in grams, per liter
of solution. Neutral water, for example, has a pH value of seven and
a hydrogen-ion concentration of 10-7 grams
per liter.
A common sewer controlled by a governmental agency or public
utility.
A sewer that carried liquid and water-carried wastes from
residences, commercial buildings, industrial plants and institutions,
together with minor quantities of ground-, storm- and surface waters
that are not admitted intentionally.
The spent water of a community. The preferred term is "wastewater."
A pipe or conduit that carries wastewater or drainage water.
The wastes from the preparation, cooking and dispensing of
food that have been shredded to such a degree that particles will
be carried freely under the flow conditions normally prevailing in
public sewers.
Any discharge of water, wastewater or industrial wastewater,
which in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of
flow, exceeds, for any period of duration longer than 15 minutes,
five times the average twenty-four-hour concentration or flow during
normal operation and which may adversely affect the collection system
and/or performance of the wastewater treatment works.
A drain or sewer for conveying water, groundwater, subsurface
water or unpolluted water from any source. All wastewaters shall be
considered to be polluted.
Total suspended matter that either floats on the surface
of, or is in suspension in, water, wastewater or other liquids, and
that is removable by laboratory filtering as prescribed in Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater and referred to
as nonfilterable residue.
Water of quality equal to or better than the effluent criteria
in effect, or water that would not cause violation of receiving water
quality standards and would not be benefited by discharge to the sanitary
sewers and wastewater treatment facilities provided.
The individual employed by the Incorporated Village of Ocean
Beach who is responsible for the overall operation and maintenance
of the wastewater, water and solid waste facilities and for the maintenance
of village properties. The term "Superintendent," as used in this
chapter, shall have the same meaning as "Village Superintendent."
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.
The structures, equipment and processes required to collect,
transmit and treat domestic and industrial wastes and dispose of the
treated effluent.
An arrangement of devices and structures for treating wastewater,
industrial wastes and sludge. Sometimes used as synonymous with "waste
treatment plant" or "wastewater treatment plant" or "water pollution
control plant."
A natural or artificial channel for the passage of water,
either continuously or intermittently.
