Daily Average Flow - The arithmetic average of all determinations of the daily dischargewithin a period of one calendar month. The daily average flow determination shall consist ofdeterminations made on at least four separate days. If instantaneous measurements are used todetermine the daily discharge, the determination shall the average of all instantaneousmeasurements taken during a 24-hour period or during the period of daily discharge if less than24 hours. Daily average flow determination for intermittent discharges shall consist of aminimum of three flow determinations on days of discharge.Design Flow - The wet-weather maximum 30-day average flow of wastewater.Disinfection - A chemical or physical process that kills pathogenic organisms in water.Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) - The EPA uniform national form, including anysubsequent additions, revisions, or modifications for the reporting of self-monitoring results bypermittees. Permittees with TPDES permits are required to submit this form.

(See also the definition relating to sewage sludge.)Fixture of the Land - An item that has become so annexed to the realty that it is regarded aspart of the land (i.e., ponds, lagoons).10411_10055-inst (7/14/2014) Instructions for Completing the Industrial Wastewater Application Page 6 of 124
Glide - Portion of the water column that resembles flow that would be found in a shallow canal.Water surface gradient over a glide is nearly zero, so velocity is slow, but flow is shore to shorewithout eddy development.Grab Sample - An individual sample collected in less than 15 minutes.Groundwater - Water below the land surface in the saturated zone.I-LIndustrial Wastewater - Wastewater generated in a commercial or industrial process.Interference - A discharge that, alone or in conjunction with a discharge or discharges fromother sources, both: (1) inhibits or disrupts the treatment system, its treatment processes oroperations, or its sludge processes, use, or disposal; and (2) therefore is a cause of a violation ofany requirement of the facility’s NPDES permit (including an increase in the magnitude orduration of a violation) or of the prevention of sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance withthe following statutory provisions and regulations or permits issued thereunder (or morestringent State or local regulations): Section 405 of the Clean Water Act, the Solid WasteDisposal Act (SWDA) (including title II, more commonly referred to as the ResourceConservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and including State regulations contained in anyState sludge management plan prepared pursuant to subtitle D of the SWDA), the Clean AirAct, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Marine Protection, Research and SanctuariesAct.Intermittent Stream - A stream which has a period of zero flow for at least one week duringmost years. Where flow records are available, a stream with a seven-day, two-year low-flow ofless than 0.1 cubic feet per second is considered intermittent.Land Application - The spraying of wastewater onto the land surface; the injection ofwastewater below the land surface; or the incorporation of wastewater into the soil so that thewastewater can fertilize crops or vegetation grown in the soil.MMajor Amendment of Permit - Any change that is not listed in 40 CFR §122.63 isconsidered a major amendment. A major amendment changes a substantive term, provision,requirement, or limiting parameter of a permit.Minimum Analytical Level (MAL) - The lowest concentration at which a particularsubstance can be quantitatively measured with a defined precision level, using approvedanalytical methods. The minimum analytical level is not the published method detection limitfor an EPA-approved analytical method, which is based on laboratory analysis of the substancein reagent (distilled) water. The minimum analytical level is based on analyses of the analyte inthe matrix of concern (i.e., wastewater effluents). The commission will establish generalminimum analytical levels that will be applicable when information on matrix-specific minimumanalytical levels is unavailable.Minor Amendment of Permit - An amendment to improve or maintain the permittedquality or method of disposal of waste or injection of fluid if there is neither a significantincrease of the quantity of waste or fluid to be discharged or injected nor a material change inthe pattern or place of discharge or injection. A minor amendment includes any other change toa permit issued under 30 TAC Chapter 305, Subchapter D, that will not cause or relax astandard or criterion which may result in a potential deterioration of quality of water in the10411_10055-inst (7/14/2014) Instructions for Completing the Industrial Wastewater Application Page 7 of 124
