Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise, the meaning
of terms used in this Part 2 and in any regulations adopted pursuant
to this Part 2 shall be as follows:
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.
Any method approved by the Superintendent for the determination
of flow measurement or pollution concentration of discharges to the
public sewers.

function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision
making functions for the corporation; or delegated to the manager
in accordance with corporate procedures.
If the user is a partnership or sole proprietorship: a general
partner or proprietor, respectively.
If the user is a federal, state or local government facility:
a director or highest official appointed or designated to oversee
the operation and performance of the government facility, or their
designee.
The individuals described in Subsections A(1) through (3) above
may designate another authorized representative if the authorization
is in writing, the authorization specifies the individual or position
responsible for the overall operation of the facility from which the
discharge originates or having overall responsibility for environmental
matters for the company, and the written authorization is submitted
to the Village.
The results obtained using an approved laboratory procedure
to measure the quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation
of organic matter or in satisfying the oxygen demand of other materials
present.
That part of the lowest horizontal piping of a drainage system
which received 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.
The results obtained using an approved laboratory procedure
to measure CBOD by adding a nitrification inhibitor in the analytical
procedure described above for BOD.
The results obtained using an approved laboratory procedure
to measure the difference between the amount of chlorine added to
water, sewage or industrial wastes and the amount of residual chlorine
remaining at the end of a specified time.
The approved laboratory procedure to measure the oxygen requirement
of that portion of the organic matter in a sample that is susceptible
to oxidation by a strong chemical oxidant.
A proceeding in which the legal rights, duties or privileges
of a party are determined by the Village of Webster after the party
has had an opportunity for hearing.

Any source of discharge, the construction or operation of
which commenced prior to the publication by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) of proposed Categorical Pretreatment Standards which
will be applicable to such source if the standard is thereafter promulgated
in accordance with Section 307 of the Act.
Solid wastes from domestic and commercial preparation, cooking
and dispensing of food, from the handling, storage and sale of produce
and from the packaging and canning of food.
Any material which is extractable from an acidified sample

The discharge of pollutants into a publicly owned treatment
works from any nondomestic source as regulated under Section 307(b),
(c) or (d) of the Act.
Any discarded matter, including liquid, gaseous or solid

industry, manufacturing, trade or business or from the development
or recovery on any natural resources, except garbage.
An inhibition or disruption of the publicly owned treatment

either a violation of any requirements of the publicly owned treatment
works discharge permit or to the prevention of sewage sludge use or
disposal by the publicly owned treatment works in accordance with
established state and federal regulations.
Any regulation containing pollutant discharge limits promulgated
by the EPA in accordance with Section 307(b) and (c) of the Act which
applies to industrial users. This term includes prohibitive discharge
limits established pursuant to 40 CFR 403.5.
Any building, structure, facility or installation from which
there is or may be a discharge, the construction or operation of which
commenced prior to the publication by the EPA of proposed pretreatment
standards under Section 307(c) of the Act which will be applicable
to such source if such standards are there after promulgated in accordance
with that section, provided that:
The building, structure, facility or installation is constructed
at a site at which no other source is located;
The building, structure, facility or installation totally replaces
the process or production equipment that causes the discharge of pollutants
at an existing source; or
The production or wastewater-generating processes of the building,
structure, facility or installation are substantially independent
of an existing source at the same site. In determining whether these
are substantially independent, factors such as the extent to which
the new facility is engaged in the same general type of activity as
the existing source should be considered.
Construction on a site at which an existing source is located
results in a modification rather than a "new source" if the construction
does not create a new building, structure, facility or installation
meeting the criteria of Subsection A(1)(b) or (c) above but otherwise
alters, replaces or adds to existing process or production equipment.
Construction of a "new source" as defined under Subsection A(1)
has commenced if the owner or operator has:
Begun or caused to begin as part of a continuous on-site construction
program:
Any placement, assembly or installation of facilities or equipment;
or
Significant site preparation work, including clearing, excavation
or removal of existing building, structure or facilities which is
necessary for the placement, assembly or installation of "new source"
facilities or equipment; or
Entered into a binding contractual obligation for the purchase
of facilities or equipment which are intended to be used in its operation
within a reasonable time. Options to purchase or contracts which can
be terminated or modified without substantial loss and contracts for
feasibility, engineering or design studies do not constitute a contractual
obligation under this subsection.
