Definitions. Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise, the meanings of terms used in Part 2 shall be as follows:
BOD (denoting "biochemical oxygen demand")
The quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation of organic matter under standard laboratory procedure in five days at 20° C. (68° F.), expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/l). Measurement shall be as set forth in the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.

COUNTY
The County of Albany.
COUNTY SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The trunk sewers, force mains, pumping stations, sewage regulators, water pollution control plants (sewage treatment plants) and other appurtenant structures owned and operated by the Albany County Sewer District.

NATURAL OUTLET
Any outlet into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake or other body of surface or groundwater.
NORMAL SEWAGE
Sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes which, when analyzed, show by weight the following characteristics:
(1) 
BOD: 2,000 pounds per million gallons (240 milligrams per liter) or less.
(2) 
Chlorine demand: 208 pounds per million gallons (25 milligrams per liter) or less.
