Industrial or commercial waste means the liquid wastes from industrial, commercial or institutional processes, as distinct from domestic or sanitary sewage.

industrially classified user means a nonresidential, nongovernmental user whose liquid wastes are, in part, made up of flows related to industrial processes, rather than being composed of flows resulting from human occupancy, and whose industrial process flows contain toxic pollutants which interfere, have the potential to interfere, are incompatible or would reduce the utility of the sludge or treated effluent or which have any other adverse effect on the treatment works.

pass-through means a state of noncompliance with an NPDES permit in which toxic or harmful pollutants pass through the treatment plant into the environment in such concentrations as to have an adverse effect.

pH means the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion activity, expressed in units.

pretreatment or treatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater to a less harmful state prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a POTW. The reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical, chemical or biological processes, except as prohibited by 40 CFR 403.6(d).

pretreatment requirements means any substantive or procedural requirement related to the pretreatment, other than a national pretreatment standard imposed on a significant industrial user.

Public sewer means a sanitary sewer to which all owners of abutting properties have equal rights and which is controlled by public authority.

Publicly owned treatment works (POTW) means a treatment works as defined by section 212 of the act (33 USC 1292) which is owned by the city. This definition includes any sewers that convey wastewater to the POTW treatment plant.

Sanitary sewage means the household and toilet wastes resulting from human occupancy.

sewage means a combination of water-carried wastes from residences, business buildings, institutions and industrial establishments, together with such groundwaters, surface waters and stormwaters as may be present.

sewage works means all facilities for collection, pumping, treatment and disposing of wastewater.

Significant industrial user includes the following:

significant noncompliance means any violation of pretreatment requirements (limits, sampling, analysis, reporting and meeting compliance schedules) as defined in 40 CFR 123.45.

Slug means any discharge of water or wastewater which in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of flow exceeds for any period or duration longer than 15 minutes more than five times the average 24-hour concentration of flows during normal operation and shall adversely affect the collection system and performance of the wastewater treatment works.

standard industrial classification (SIC) means a classification pursuant to the standard industrial classification Manual issued by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, 1972.

Suspended solids means solids that either float on the surface of or are in suspension in water, wastewater or other liquids and which are largely removable by laboratory filtration.

Treatment works means the wastewater treatment plant, interceptors, force mains, lift stations and collection systems.

Unpolluted water means water not containing any pollutants limited or prohibited by the effluent standards in effect or water whose discharge will not cause any violation of receiving water quality standards.
