For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms shall be defined as follows:
(A) "BOD" or "Biological Oxygen Demand" means an analysis that serves as an indicator of the amount of organic material in the waste stream.
(B) "CESSPOOL" means a subsurface pit which receives untreated sewage.
(C) "DISCHARGE" means to dump, drop, release, insert, or otherwise allow any material to enter into the sewer system.
(D) "DOMESTIC WASTEWATER" means wastewater derived principally from dwellings, business buildings, institutions, and the like; sanitary wastewater; sewage. Waterborne sewage or gray water derived mainly from dwellings, commercial buildings, institutions, or similar structures. Domestic wastewater does not consist of stormwater or industrial wastewater.
(E) "FATS, OILS, AND GREASES (FOG) REMOVAL SYSTEM" means interceptors, separators, traps, or grease recovery devices which prevent free floating fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the wastewater collection system.
(F) "GPD" means gallons per day.
(G) "GREASE INTERCEPTOR" means a passive interceptor with a rated flow of fifty (50) gallons per minute or less and serves as a fixture trap and which is located inside a structure.
(H) "GREASE LADEN WASTE" means effluent discharge that is produced from food processing, food preparation, or other commercial source where FOGs enter automatic dishwasher pre-rinse stations, sinks, or to other appurtenances.
(I) "GREASE RECOVERY DEVICE" means an automatic device which separates and removes FOGs from effluent discharge, and cleans itself of accumulated FOGs at least once every twenty-four (24) hours, utilizing electromechanical apparatus to accomplish removal.
(J) "GREASE TRAP" means a passive interceptor whose rated flow exceeds fifty (50) gallons per minute or minimum storage capacity of seven-hundred fifty (750) gallons or more and which is located outside the building.
(K) "INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER" means processed and non-processed wastewater from manufacturing, commercial, and mining, including the runoff and leachate from areas that receive pollutants associated with industrial or commercial storage, handling or processing, and all other wastewater not otherwise defined as domestic wastewater.
(L) "LC50" means a lethal concentration at 50 percent mortality. LC50 is a measurement that may be used to determine toxicity in wastewater discharges. The concentration that the LC50 is determined to occur is generally reported in percent.
(M) "MGD" means million gallons per day.
(N) "mg/L" means milligrams per liter.
(O) "OTHER WASTES" means garbage, refuse, spoils, decayed wood, sawdust, shavings, bark, wood trimmings, sand, silt, lime, cinder, ash, offal, FOGs, tar, dyestuffs, acids, chemicals, and other substances not domestic wastewater or industrial waste but which may pollute water.
(P) "POINT OF DELIVERY" means the point where the wastewater service connects to the main wastewater mainline. Unless authorized by the City in writing, wastewater collection service to one location may not be used to accept wastewater from another location.
(Q) "PRIVATE WASTEWATER LATERAL LINE" means a pipeline or conduit which carries domestic wastewater from a residential dwelling, commercial establishment, or industrial establishment to the municipal wastewater collection system (see also, WASTEWATER SERVICE LINE, 10.16.010(W)).
(R) "SEPTIC TANK" means a watertight receptacle constructed to promote separation of solid and liquid components of wastewater to provide limited digestion of organic matter, to store solids, and to allow clarified liquid to discharge for further treatment and disposal in a soil absorption system.
(S) "WASTEWATER MAIN LINE SEWER" means a pipeline, conduit, or wastewater collection system which carries domestic wastewater, but does not include private sewer lateral lines.
(T) "SOLIDS TRANSFER/GREASE RECOVERY DEVICE" means an active automatic pretreatment device which macerates coarse solids and separates/recovers free floating FOGs from effluent. The device cleans itself of accumulated FOGs at least once every twenty-four (24) hours, utilizing electromechanical apparatus to accomplish removal.
(U) "S.U." means standard units of pH.
(V) "TSS" means total suspended solids.
(W) "WASTEWATER SERVICE LINE" means a service lateral line outside a building foundation which carries wastewater to a City wastewater main line.
(X) "WWTP" means the wastewater treatment plant.
