Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise,
the following words and terms used in this chapter shall have the
following meanings:
Any industrial waste having a suspended solid content or
BOD appreciably in excess of that normally found in municipal sewage.
For the purposes of these regulations, any industrial waste containing
more than 350 milligrams per liter of suspended solids or having a
BOD in excess of 350 milligrams per liter shall be considered an abnormal
industrial waste regardless of whether or not it contains other substances
in concentrations differing appreciably from those normally found
in municipal sewage.
