include, but are not limited to, leaks, flows, or overflows into the
municipal separate storm sewer system.

fouling of equipment such as heat exchangers, and/or corrosion inhibitors.
Any water which, during manufacturing or processing, comes
into direct contact with or results from the production or use of
any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, by-product,

that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface,
is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewerage or drainage
facilities, or is conveyed by snow removal equipment.
