				"adequately protected" shall be construed accordingly.
2. "Dechlorination" means the partial or
				complete removal of residual chlorine by any chemical or physical
				process.
3. "Firm capacity" means
				adequate pumping equipment and/or treatment capacity (excluding coagulation,
				flocculation, and sedimentation), and/or adequate capacity by supply from
				another water system pursuant to contract to meet peak daily demand as
				determined under
				7:10-11.5(e)1 
				when the largest pumping or treatment unit is out of service.
4. "Major pollutant source" means any
				wastewater treatment plant discharge, any documented ground water
				contamination, any liquid chemical or fuel storage facility with capacity
				greater than 2,000 gallons, any military facility, any industrial treatment
				lagoon, any automotive service station, any landfill (open, closed or
				inactive), any industrial facility (including dry cleaning facilities), any
				septic system, any cemetery, any salt storage facility, any highway maintenance
				yard, any truck and/or bus maintenance yard, any underground fuel and chemical
				storage tank with a capacity of 2,000 gallons or more, any livestock operation,
				any body of surface water containing salt or brackish water, any quarrying
				and/or mining facility, any asphalt and concrete manufacturing facility, and
				any open dump or junkyard.
5.
				"Minor pollutant source" means any liquid chemical or fuel storage tank with
				capacity less than 2,000 gallons, any stormwater detention or retention basin,
				any sanitary sewer line, any sanitary sewer manhole, any sanitary sewer pump

				system. The terms "modification" and "modified" shall be construed accordingly.
				The cleaning and lining of water mains, and the replacement of valves,
				hydrants, pumps and controls do not constitute a modification to the water
				system.

				effluent, following all other treatment processes, for the purpose of
				disinfection.
8. "Pre-chlorination"
				means the addition of chlorine to the water at a water treatment plant, prior
				to other treatment processes, for disinfection, oxidation, and control of
				tastes, odors and microbiological growth.
9. "Pretreatment" means a water treatment
				plant process employed to prepare water for filtration, including mixing,
				coagulation, flocculation or softening, and sedimentation.
10. "Superchlorination" means the addition of
				chlorine to the water at a water treatment plant in amounts sufficient to
				produce chlorine residuals so large as to require dechlorination.
