The meaning of any term not defined in Section

				  Department, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

				individual resident of the State, a domestic corporation, or a foreign
				corporation having a place of business in and authorized to do business in the
				State.

				the state where a gambling vessel, or other vessel used to transport passengers
				to or from a gambling vessel, moors to embark or disembark its
				passengers.

				representative" means an individual that has been duly designated by the owner
				or operator of a gambling vessel or by the owner of a waterfront landing
				facility, as applicable. The designated representative shall be an individual
				or a position having overall responsibility for the operation of the gambling
				vessel or the waterfront landing facility, as applicable, such as the position
				of captain, officer, administrator, manager, or a position of equivalent
				responsibility. An individual is a duly designated representative only if the
				authorization is made in writing by the owner or operator of the gambling
				vessel or by the owner of the waterfront landing facility, as applicable, and
				the written authorization is submitted to the Department.
(4) "Gambling vessel" means a boat, ship,
				casino boat, watercraft, or barge that is kept, operated, or maintained for the

(5) "Minimum waste-service demand" means the
				volume of waste that is reasonably expected to be released at a

				minimum waste-service demand by considering the registered capacity of the
				gambling vessel's systems for treating, holding, or disposing of waste; and
				other information provided in the registration forms submitted during
				registration of the gambling vessel.
(6) "Oily bilge water" means liquid from the
				bilge of a gambling vessel which contains used lubrication oils, oil sludge and
