hazard. Supernatant and filter backwash shall not directly enter either the final effluent or waters of the state by any other direct route.Bypass of Treatment Facilities.Bypass Not
Exceeding Limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure
efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to section 2and 3 of this section.Prohibition of Bypass.Bypass is prohibited, and the Director may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass, unless:Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of human life, personal injury, or severe property damage;There were no feasible alternatives to bypass, such as
the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgement to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive
maintenance, andThe permittee submitted notices as required under Part VI.G.3.The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines
that it will meet the three conditions listed in Part VI.G.2.a (1), (2) and (3).Notice.Anticipated bypass. Except as provided above in Part VI.G.2 and in Part VI.G.3.b, if the permittee
knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, at least ninety days before the date of bypass. The prior notice shall include the following unless otherwise
waived by the Director:Evaluation of alternative to bypass, including cost-benefit analysis containing an assessment of anticipated resource damages:A specific bypass plan describing

week, which begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, shall be used for purposes of reporting self-monitoring data on discharge monitoring report forms. Weekly averages shall be calculated
for all calendar weeks with Saturdays in the month. If a calendar week overlaps two months (i.e., the Sunday is in one month and the Saturday in the following month), the weekly average
calculated for that calendar week shall be included in the data for the month that contains Saturday.The "30-day (and monthly) average" is the arithmetic average of all samples collected
during a consecutive 30-day period or calendar month, whichever is applicable. The calendar month shall be used for purposes of reporting self-monitoring data on discharge monitoring
report forms.“Act,” means the Utah Water Quality Act.“Approved POTW Pretreatment ProgramorProgramorPOTW Pretreatment Program” means a program administered by a POTW that meets the criteria

("BMPs") means schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waters of the State or
to implement the prohibitions listed in 40 CFR 403.5 (a)(1) and (b). BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage
or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.“Bypass,” means the diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.“Composite Samples”
flow proportioned. The composite sample shall, as a minimum, contain at least four (4) samples collected over the compositing period. Unless otherwise specified, the time between the
collection of the first sample and the last sample shall not be less than six (6) hours or more than 24 hours. Acceptable methods for preparation of composite samples are as follows:Constant
time interval between samples, sample volume proportional to flow rate at time of sampling;Constant time interval between samples, sample volume proportional to total flow (volume) since
last sample. For the first sample, the flow rate at the time the sample was collected may be used;Constant sample volume, time interval between samples proportional to flow (i.e., sample
taken every “X” gallons of flow); and,Continuous sample volume, with sample collection rate proportional to flow rate.“Composite Samples” timed proportioned. The composite sample shall,
as a minimum, contain at least four (4) samples collected over the compositing period. With an aliquot being taken at least every 15 minutes. “CWA,” means The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as amended, by The Clean Water Act of 1987.“Daily Maximum” (Daily Max.) is the maximum value allowable in any single sample or instantaneous measurement.“EPA,” means the
United States Environmental Protection Agency.“Director,” means Director of the Division of Water Quality.A “grab” sample, for monitoring requirements, is defined as a single “dip and
take” sample collected at a representative point in the discharge stream. The sample is taken without regard to the flow in the wastestream and over a period of time not to exceed fifteen
(15) minutes."Indirect discharge" means the introduction of pollutants into a POTW from any non-domestic source regulated under section 307 (b), (c) or (d) of the CWA."Industrial User"
or "User" means a source of indirect discharge."Interference" means an indirect discharge which, alone or in conjunction with an indirect discharge or indirect discharges from other

sources both:Inhibits or disrupts the POTW, its treatment processes or operations, or its sludge processes, use or disposal; andTherefore 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) or of the prevention of sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with the following
statutory provisions and regulations or permits issued thereunder (or more stringent State or local regulations): Section 405 of the Clean Water Act, the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA)
(including title II, more commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and including State regulations contained in any State sludge management plan prepared
pursuant to subtitle D of the SWDA), the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act.An “instantaneous” measurement, for
monitoring requirements, is defined as a single reading, observation, or measurement."Pass Through" means an indirect discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities
or concentrations which, alone or in conjunction with an indirect discharge or indirect discharges from other sources, is a cause of violation of any requirement of the POTW's UPDES
permit (including an increase in the magnitude or duration of violation)."Point Source" means any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to, any pipe,
ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operation, landfill leachate collection system, vessel or other floating
craft from which pollutants are or may be discharges. This term does not include return flows from irrigated agriculture or agriculture storm water runoff."POTW Treatment Plant" means
that portion of the POTW which is designed to provide treatment, including recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage and industrial waste."Pretreatment" means the reduction of the
amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing
such pollutants into a POTW. The reduction or alteration may be obtained by physical, chemical or biological processes, process changes or by other means, except as prohibited by 40
CFR 403.6(d). Appropriate pretreatment technology includes control equipment, such as equalization tanks or facilities, for protection against surges or slug loading that might interfere
with or otherwise be incompatible with the POTW. However, where wastewater from a regulated process is mixed in an equalization facility with unregulated wastewater or with wastewater
from another regulated process, the effluent from the equalization facility must meet an adjusted pretreatment limit calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e).“Pretreatment Requirements”
any substantive or procedural requirement related to pretreatment imposed on a User, other than a Pretreatment Standard.The term "Publicly Owned Treatment Works" or "POTW" means a treatment
works which is owned by State or municipality within the State. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal
sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes sewers, pipes and other conveyances only if they convey wastewater to a POTW Treatment Plant. The term also means the
