For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms, phrases,
words and their derivations shall have the meanings stated herein
unless their use in the text of this article clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When consistent with the context, words used
in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word “shall” is
always mandatory and not merely directory. To the extent applicable,
the terms below shall also be construed consistently with corresponding
definitions set forth in the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (N.J.P.D.E.S.) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2:
Shall mean any granular or solid material such as melting
salt or any other granular solid that assists in the melting of snow.
Shall mean waste and wastewater from humans or household
operations.
Shall mean any physical or nonphysical connection that discharges
domestic sewage, non-contact cooling water, process wastewater, or
other industrial waste (other than stormwater) to the MS4 operated
by the municipality, unless that discharge is authorized under the
N.J.P.D.E.S. permit other than the Tier A Municipal Stormwater General
Permit (N.J.P.D.E.S. Permit Number NJ0141852). Nonphysical connections
may include, but are not limited to, leaks, flows, or overflows into
the municipal separate storm sewer system.
Shall mean a surface that has been covered with a layer of
material so that it is highly resistant to infiltration by water.
Shall mean nondomestic waste, including, but not limited
to, those pollutants regulated under Section 307(a), (b), or (c) of
the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1317(a), (b), or
(c)).
Shall mean the conveyance or system of conveyances (including
roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs,
gutters, ditches, manmade channels, or storm drains) that is owned
and operated by Princeton, and is designed and used for collecting
and conveying stormwater. MS4s do not include combined sewer systems,
which are sewer systems that are designed to carry sanitary sewage
at all times and to collect and transport stormwater from streets
and other sources.
Shall mean a permit issued by the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection to implement the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (N.J.P.D.E.S.) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A.
Shall mean water used to reduce temperature for the purpose
of cooling. Such waters do not come into direct contact with any raw
material, intermediate product (other than heat) or finished product.
Non-contact cooling water may however contain algaecides, or biocides
to control fouling of equipment such as heat exchangers, and/or corrosion
inhibitors.
Shall mean a permanent building or permanent structure that
is anchored to a permanent foundation with an impermeable floor, and
that is completely roofed and walled (new structures require a door
or other means of sealing the access way from wind driven rainfall).
A fabric frame structure is a permanent structure if it meets
the following specifications:
Concrete blocks, jersey barriers or other similar material shall
be placed around the interior of the structure to protect the side
walls during loading and unloading of de-icing materials;
The design shall prevent stormwater run-on and run through,
and the fabric cannot leak;
The structure shall be erected on an impermeable slab;
The structure cannot be open sided; and
The structure shall have a roll up door or other means of sealing
the access way from wind driven rainfall.
Shall mean any individual, corporation, company, partnership,
firm, association, or political subdivision of this State subject
to municipal jurisdiction.
Shall mean 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, byproduct,
or waste produce. Process wastewater includes, but is not limited
to, leachate and cooling water other than non- contact cooling water.
Shall mean the point of entry into the storm sewer system.
Shall mean water resulting from precipitation (including
rain and snow) 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.
Shall mean the ocean and its estuaries, all springs, streams
and bodies of surface or ground water, whether natural or artificial,
within the boundaries of the State of New Jersey or subject to its
jurisdiction.
