(if that Industrial Classification code) or the construction of which
commences after the effective date of this Ordinance.
PASS THROUGH
A Discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the United
States in quantities or concentrations which, alone or in conjunction
with a discharge or discharges from other sources, is a cause of a
violation of any requirement of the POTW's NPDES permit (including
an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation).
