L. 
Containing color from any source that when diluted with distilled water 1:10 will have a luminescence of 10% or better and a purity of 90% or less, at its dominant wave length by the tristimulus method.
M. 
Having a chlorine demand in excess of 12 mg/l.
N. 
Prohibited by any permit issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal agency.
O. 
Containing wastes which are not amenable to biological treatment or reduction in existing treatment facilities, specifically nonbiodegradable complex carbon compounds.

R.
