Two or more ~tnimal feeding operations under common ownership are a singio imimal feeding operation if they physically adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal ofwustes. (6) Animal unit - reserved. (7) Applicable water quality standards end effluent limitations means all State and Federal water quality standards end effluent limitations to which a discharge is subject under the Act, or under State law, including but not limited to water quality standards, effluent limitations, best management practices, standards of performance, toxic effluent standards end prohibitions, pretreatment standards, and oceen discharge criteria. (8) Approvable is defined as that which cen be approved by the depaitment with only minimal revision~ Minimal revision shall meen revised end resubmitted to the department within 60 days of notification by thc department of the revisions that are necessary, unless otherwise defined by the applicable SPDES permit. (9) Average raesns the arithmetic mean of pollutant parameter values for samples collected in a given period. (10) Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) means effluent limits authorized under 8ectian 301CoX2)(A) of the Act, 40 CFR 122.44(a)&(e)(l&2), 40 CFR 125.3(2)(iii), 40 CFR 405 to 471 (see section 750-1.24 of this Part) and ECL 17-0801. BAT is technology-based effluent limitations guidelines established by the Act as the most appropriate means available on a national basis for controlling the direct discharge of toxic end nonconventional pollutants to navigable waters. BAT effluent limitations guidelines, as established by EPA, represent the best existing performance of treatment technologies that are economically achievable within an industrial point source category or subeategory. (1 I) Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) means effiunnt limits authorized under the Act, Section 301(bX2)(E), 40 CFR 122.44(a), 40 CFR 125.3(2)(ii), 40 CFR 405 to 471 (see section 750-1.24 of this Part) and ECL 17-0811. BCT is technology based effluent limitations guidelines for the discharge of conventional pollutants fi:om existing industrial point sources including BOD~, TSS, fecal coliform, pH, oil and grease. The BCT is established by EPA using a two-part "cost reasonableness" test that compares the cost for an industry to reduce its pollutant discharge with the cost to a POTW for similal' levels of reduction of a pollutant loading. The second test examines the cost-effectiveness of additional industrial treatment beyond BPT. EPA must find limits that are reasonable under both tests before establishing them as BCT. (12) Best Management Practices (BMPs) means schedules of activities, proh~itious of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the Part 750 - 1, Page 2 Effective May 11, 2003 ~,~ pollution of waters of the state.

Processes, operations, or production areas may be described in general terms (for example, "dye-making reactor?, "distillation tower"). For facilities that are not POTW's, but receiye wastewater or storm water from other persons, this information shall include the identity of each user of the treatment works. The average flow of point sources composed of storm water may be estimated. The basis for the r'alnfiall event end the method of estimation must be indicated. Where the flow during the petit term is expected to differ from the historieal flow, the projected flow must also be provided. (4) Intermittent flows. If any of the discharges described in paragraph (3) of this section are intermittent or seasonal, a description of the frequency, duration and flow rate of each discharge occurrence (except for storm water runoff, spillage or leaks). (5) Production. Ifen effluent t~m~tation guideline promulgated under section 304 ofthe Aat(see section 750-1.24 of this Part) applies to the applicant end is expressed in terms of production (or other measure of operation), a reasonable raeasure of the applicent's actual production reported in the units used in the applicable effluent guideline must be provided. The reported measure must reflect the actual production of the facility as described in the application form provided by the Department. Where production is expected to chenge during the permit term, the projected changed production must also be provided. (6) Improvements. If the applicent is subject to eny present requirements or compliance schedules for coustmction, upgrading or operation of waste treatment equipment, an identification of the abatement requirement, a description of the abatement project, end a listing of the required and projected final complienea dates. (7) Effluent characteristics. Information on the discharge ofpollutants specified in this paragraph must be provided. (i) Analytical methods. When "quantitative data" for a pollutant are required, the appli- cant must collect a sample of effluent end analyze it for the pollutant in accordence with analytical methods approved ander 40 CFR Part 136(see section 750-1.24 of this Part). When no anulytieaI method is approved under 40 CFR Part 136, the applicent may request that the department identify available enalytical methodologies or use eny suitable method but must provide a description of the method. (ii) Identical outfalls. When an applicent has two or more outfalls with substantially identical effluents, the department raay allow the applicant to test only one outfall end report that the quentitative data also apply to the substantially identical ouffalls. (iii) Intake pollutants. Tbe requirements in paragrephs (vii) end (vi~i) of this subdivisinn that an applicent must provide quantitative data for certain pollutants known or believed to be present do not apply to pollutents present in a discharge solely as a result of their presence in intake water;, however, en applicant must report such pollutants as present.

Cove~ed under this paragraph is the diversion of waatewater or stormwater around any pu~dun of a treatment facility in accordance with a department approved plan for wastewater or stormwater management (provided that such plan is in compliance with applicable law and regulation). (2) Prohibitionofbypass. Except asprovided for in paragraph (1) ofthis subdivisioa, bypassis prohibited, and the department may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, ut'de~s: (i) bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, public health hazard, environmental degradation or severe properOy damage; (ii) there were no feasible alternatives to the bypass such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal period of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass that occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance or if designed and installed backup equiPment that could have prevented or mitigated the impact of the bypass is not operating during the bypass; and (iii) the permitteo submitted notices as required under section 2.7 of this subpart and, excepting emergency conditions, the proposed bypass was accepted by the deparmaent. (c) UPSET (1) Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph (2) of this subdivision are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial r~iew. (2) Conditions necessary for a demonstration ofupset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operation logs; or other relevant evidence that: (i) an upset occurred and that the permittee eau identify the cause(s) of the upset; (ii) the permitted facility was, at the time, being properly operated; and (iii) the permittee submitted notice of the incident for which an upset defense in being claimed as required in section 750-2.7 of this Part. (iv) the parmittee implemented anymitigation and assessment required under section 750-2.7, subdivisions (f) and (g) of this Par[ (3) Burden of proof.
