Intent. The intent of this section is to provide definitions
for terms listed in the Schedule of District Use Regulations.[1] The original table was built in 1989 using SIC (Standard
Industrial Codes) to show land use by establishments by activity type.
The past number of years, the SIC information has had updates and
been migrated to websites. The information below has been collected
from website http://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html to provide
the explanation.
|
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) has been replaced
by the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS),
but several data sets are still available with SIC-based data. Both
the SIC and NAICS classify establishments by their primary type of
activity. (The website http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/sic.html provided
this statement.)

MINING AND QUARRYING OF NONMETALLIC MINERALS, EXCEPT FUELS
Division A: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Mining.
This major group includes establishments (e.g., farms, orchards,
greenhouses, nurseries) primarily engaged in the production of crops,
plants, vines and trees (excluding forestry operations). This major
group also includes establishments primarily engaged in the operation
of sod farms and cranberry bogs; in the production of mushrooms, bulbs,
flower seeds, and vegetable seeds; and in the growing of hydroponics
crops. Seeds of field crops are classified in the same industry as
crops grown for other purposes.
This major group includes establishments (e.g., farms, ranches,
dairies, feedlots, egg production facilities, broiler facilities,
poultry hatcheries, apiaries) primarily engaged in the keeping, grazing,
or feeding of livestock for the sale of livestock or livestock products
(including serums), for livestock increase, or for value increase.
"Livestock," as used here, includes cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, and
poultry of all kinds; also included in this major group are animal
specialties, such as horses, rabbits, bees, pets, fish in captivity,
and fur-bearing animals in captivity.
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged
in performing soil preparation services, crop services, veterinary
services, other animal services, farm labor and management services,
and landscape and horticultural services for others on a contract
or fee basis. However, feedlots and poultry hatcheries operated on
a contract or fee basis are included in Major Group 02 (above).
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged
in the operation of timber tracts, tree farms, forest nurseries, and
related activities such as reforestation services and the gathering
of gums, barks, balsam needles, maple sap, Spanish moss, and other
forest products.
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged
in commercial fishing (including crabbing, lobstering, clamming, oystering,
and the gathering of sponges and seaweed), and the operation of fish
hatcheries and fish and game preserves, in commercial hunting and
trapping, and in game propagation.
This division includes all establishments primarily engaged
in mining. The term "mining" is used in the broad sense to include
the extraction of minerals occurring naturally: solids such as coal
and ores; liquids such as crude petroleum; and gases such as natural
gas. The term "mining" is also used in the broad sense to include
quarrying, well operations, milling (e.g., crushing, screening, washing,
flotation), and other preparation customarily done at the mine site
or as a part of mining activity.
Exploration and development of mineral properties are included.
Services performed on a contract or fee basis in the development or
operation of mineral properties are classified separately but within
this division. Establishments which have complete responsibility for
operating mines, quarries, or oil and gas wells for others on a contract
or fee basis are classified according to the product mined rather
than as mineral services.
Mining operations are classified by industry on the basis of
the principal mineral produced, or, if there is no production, on
the basis of the principal mineral for which exploration or development
work is in process. The mining of culm banks, ore dumps, and tailing
piles is classified as mining according to the principal mineral product
derived.
Crushing, grinding, or otherwise preparing clay, ceramic, and
refractory minerals, barite and miscellaneous nonmetallic minerals,
except fuels, not in conjunction with mining or quarrying operations,
are classified as Manufacturing Industry.
This major group includes establishments primarily engaged
in mining or quarrying, developing mines, or exploring for nonmetallic
minerals, except fuels. Also included are certain well and brine operations
and primary preparation plants, such as those engaged in crushing,
grinding, washing, or other concentration.

Division B: Construction Trade Uses.
This division includes establishments primarily engaged in construction.
The term "construction" includes new work, additions, alterations,
reconstruction, installations, and repairs. Construction activities
are generally administered or managed from a relatively fixed place
of business, but the actual construction work is performed at one
or more different sites. If a company has more than one relatively
fixed place of business from which it undertakes or manages construction
activities and for which separate data on the number of employees,
payroll, receipts, and other establishment-type records are maintained,
each such place of business is considered a separate construction
establishment.
Three broad types of construction activity are covered: a) building
construction by general contractors or by operative builders; b) heavy
construction other than building by general contractors and special
trade contractors; and c) construction activity by other special trade
contractors. Special trade contractors are primarily engaged in specialized
construction activities, such as plumbing, painting, and electrical
work, and work for general contractors under subcontract or directly
for property owners. General contractors usually assume responsibility
for an entire construction project but may subcontract to others all
of the actual construction work or those portions of the project that
require special skills or equipment. General contractors thus may
or may not have construction workers on their payroll.
Building construction general contractors are primarily engaged
in the construction of dwellings, office buildings, stores, farm buildings,
and other building construction projects. Operative builders who build
on their own account for resale are also included in this division.
However, investment builders who build structures on their own account
for rental are classified in Real Estate.
General contractors and special trade contractors for heavy
construction other than building are primarily engaged in the construction
of highways; pipelines, communications and power lines, and sewer
and water mains; and other heavy construction projects. Special trade
contractors are classified in heavy construction other than building
if they are primarily engaged in activities such as grading for highway
and airport runways; guardrail construction; installation of highway
signs; asphalt and concrete construction of roads, highways, streets
and public sidewalks; trenching; cable laying; conduit construction;
underwater rock removal; pipeline wrapping; or land clearing and leveling.
Other special trade contractors undertake activities of a type
that are either specialized to building construction or may be undertaken
for building or nonbuilding projects. These activities include painting
(including bridge painting and traffic lane painting) and electrical
work (including work on bridges, power lines and power plants).
Separate establishments primarily engaged in the sale and installation
of the following illustrative types of structures or integral parts
of structures generally site assembled are classified in construction
rather than in trade:
On the other hand, establishments primarily engaged in the sale
and installation of the following illustrative types of preassembled
equipment are classified in trade rather than in construction:
This major group includes general contractors and operative
builders primarily engaged in the construction of residential, farm,
industrial, commercial, or other buildings. General building contractors
who combine a special trade with the contracting are included in this
major group.
This major group includes general contractors primarily engaged
in heavy construction other than building, such as highways and streets,
bridges, sewers, railroads, irrigation projects, flood control projects
and marine construction, and special trade contractors primarily engaged
in activities of a type that are clearly specialized to such heavy
construction and are not normally performed on buildings or building-related
projects. Specialized activities that are covered here include grading
for highways and airport runways; guardrail construction; installation
of highway signs; trenching; underwater rock removal; and asphalt
and concrete construction of roads, highways, streets and public sidewalks.
This major group includes special trade contractors who undertake
activities of a type that are specialized either to building construction,
including work on mobile homes, or to both building and nonbuilding
projects. These activities include painting (including bridge painting
and traffic lane painting), electrical work (including work on bridges,
power lines, and power plants), carpentry work, plumbing, heating,
air-conditioning, roofing, and sheet metal work.
Special trade contractors may work on subcontract from the general
contractor, performing only part of the work covered by the general
contract, or they may work directly for the owner. Special trade contractors
for the most part perform their work at the site of construction,
although they also may have shops where they perform work incidental
to the job site.

MISCELLANEOUS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
Division C: Manufacturing Uses.
The manufacturing division includes establishments engaged in
the mechanical or chemical transformation of materials or substances
into new products. These establishments are usually described as plants,
factories, or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines
and materials-handling equipment. Establishments engaged in assembling
component parts of manufactured products are also considered manufacturing
if the new product is neither a structure nor other fixed improvement.
Also included is the blending of materials, such as lubricating oils,
plastics resins, or liquors.
The materials processed by manufacturing establishments include
products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and quarrying
as well as products of other manufacturing establishments. The new
product of a manufacturing establishment may be finished in the sense
that it is ready for utilization or consumption or it may be semifinished
to become a raw material for an establishment engaged in further manufacturing.
For example, the product of the copper smelter is the raw material
used in electrolytic refineries; refined copper is the raw material
used by copper wire mills; and copper wire is the raw material used
by certain electrical equipment manufacturers.
The materials used by manufacturing establishments may be purchased
directly from producers, obtained through customary trade channels,
or secured without recourse to the market by transferring the product
from one establishment to another which is under the same ownership.
Manufacturing production is usually carried on for the wholesale market,
for inter-plant transfer, or to order for industrial users, rather
than for direct sale to the domestic consumer.
There are numerous borderline cases between manufacturing and
other divisions of the classification system. Specific instances will
be found in the descriptions of the individual industries. The following
activities, although not always considered as manufacturing, are so
classified:
Milk bottling and pasteurizing;
Fresh fish packaging (oyster shucking, fish filleting);
Apparel jobbing (assigning of materials to contract factories
or shops for fabrication or other contract operations) as well as
contracting on materials owned by others;
Publishing;
Ready-mixed concrete production;
Leather converting;
Logging;
Wood preserving;
Various service industries to the manufacturing trade, such
as typesetting, engraving, plate printing, and preparing electrotyping
and stereotype plates, but not blueprinting or photocopying services;
Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing
for the trade;
Lapidary work for the trade; and
Fabricating of signs and advertising displays.
There are also some manufacturing-type activities performed
by establishments which are primarily engaged in activities covered
by other divisions and are, thus, not classified as manufacturing.
A few of the more important examples are:
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Processing on farms is not
considered manufacturing if the raw materials are grown on the farm
and if the manufacturing activities are on a small scale without the
extensive use of paid labor. Other exclusions are threshing and cotton
ginning.
Mining. The dressing and beneficiating of ores; the breaking,
washing, and grading of coal; the crushing and breaking of stone;
and the crushing, grinding, or otherwise preparing of sand, gravel,
and nonmetallic chemical and fertilizer minerals other than barite
are classified in Mining.
Construction. Fabricating operations performed at the site of
construction by contractors are not considered manufacturing, but
the prefabrication of sheet metal, concrete, and terrazzo products
and similar construction materials is included in the "Manufacturing"
division.
Wholesale and retail trade. Establishments engaged in the following
types of operations are included in Wholesale or Retail Trade: cutting
and selling purchased carcasses; preparing feed at grain elevators
and farm supply stores; stemming leaf tobacco at wholesale establishments;
and production of wiping rags. The breaking of bulk and redistribution
in smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging, or bottling products,
such as liquors or chemicals, is also classified as Wholesale or Retail
Trade. Also included in Retail Trade are establishments primarily
engaged in selling, to the general public, products produced on the
same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries, candy stores,
ice cream parlors, and custom tailors.
Services. Tire retreading and rebuilding, sign painting and
lettering shops, computer software production, and the production
of motion picture films (including video tapes) are classified in
Services. Most repair activities are classified as "services." However,
some repair activity, such as shipbuilding and boatbuilding and repair,
the rebuilding of machinery and equipment on a factory basis, and
machine shop repair, are classified as "manufacturing."
This major group includes establishments manufacturing or
processing foods and beverages for human consumption and certain related
products, such as manufactured ice, chewing gum, vegetable and animal
fats and oils, and prepared feeds for animals and fowls. Products
described as dietetic are classified in the same manner as nondietetic
products (e.g., as candy, canned fruits, cookies). Chemical sweeteners
are classified in Major.
This major group includes establishments engaged in performing
any of the following operations:

includes establishments producing clothing and fabricating products
by cutting and sewing purchased woven or knit textile fabrics and
related materials, such as leather, rubberized fabrics, plastics and
furs. Also included are establishments that manufacture clothing by
cutting and joining (for example, by adhesives) materials such as
paper and nonwoven textiles. Included in the apparel industries are
three types of establishments: a) the regular or inside factories;
b) contract factories; and c) apparel jobbers. The regular factories
perform all of the usual manufacturing functions within their own
plant; the contract factories manufacture apparel from materials owned
by others; and apparel jobbers perform the entrepreneurial functions
of a manufacturing company, such as buying raw materials, designing
and preparing samples, arranging for the manufacture of clothing from
their materials, and selling of the finished apparel.
This major group includes establishments engaged in cutting
timber and pulpwood; merchant sawmills, lath mills, shingle mills,
cooperage stock mills, planing mills, and plywood mills and veneer
mills engaged in producing lumber and wood basic materials; and establishments
engaged in manufacturing finished articles made entirely or mainly
of wood or related materials. Certain types of establishments producing
wood products are classified elsewhere. For example, furniture and
office and store fixtures are classified in Major Group 25; musical
instruments, toys and playground equipment, and caskets are classified
in Major Group 39. Woodworking in connection with construction, in
the nature of reconditioning and repair, or performed to individual

This division includes establishments engaged in selling merchandise
for personal or household consumption and rendering services incidental
to the sale of the goods. In general, retail establishments are classified
by kind of business according to the principal lines of commodities
sold (groceries, hardware, etc.), or the usual trade designation (drugstore,
cigar store, etc.). Some of the important characteristics of retail
trade establishments are: the establishment is usually a place of
business and is engaged in activities to attract the general public
to buy; the establishment buys or receives merchandise as well as
sells; the establishment may process its products, but such processing
is incidental or subordinate to selling; the establishment is considered
as retail in the trade; and the establishment sells to customers for
personal or household use. Not all of these characteristics need be
present and some are modified by trade practice.
For the most part, establishments engaged in retail trade sell
merchandise to the general public for personal or household consumption.
Exceptions to this general rule are lumber yards; paint, glass, and
wallpaper stores; typewriter stores; stationery stores; and gasoline
service stations which sell to both the general public for personal
or household consumption and to businesses. These types of stores
are classified in Retail Trade even if a higher proportion of their
sales is made to other than individuals for personal or household
consumption.
However, establishments that sell these products only to institutional
or industrial users and to other wholesalers and establishments that
sell similar merchandise for use exclusively by business establishments
are classified in Wholesale Trade.
Establishments primarily engaged in selling such merchandise
as plumbing equipment; electrical supplies; used automobile parts;
and office furniture are classified in Wholesale Trade, even if a
higher proportion of their sales is made to individuals for personal
or household consumption.
Buying of goods for resale to the consumer is a characteristic
of retail trade establishments that particularly distinguishes them
from the agricultural and extractive industries. For example, farmers
who sell only their own produce at or from the point of production
are not classified as retailers.
Processing incidental or subordinate to selling often is conducted
at retail stores. For example, restaurants prepare meals, and meat
markets cut meat. Separate establishments selling merchandise for
personal or household consumption which has been manufactured by other
establishments of the same company are classified in Retail Trade.
Chain store warehouses are considered auxiliary to the retail
establishment served and are classified on the basis of the activity
carried on by such retail stores.
Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of used
motor vehicles, trailers, and boats are classified in Major Group
55; those selling used mobile homes are classified in Industry 5271;
those selling used automobile parts are classified in Wholesale Trade,
Industry 5015; and those selling all other used merchandise are classified
in Industry Group 593. Establishments primarily engaged in nonstore

Trade.
