				  clean and sanitized tableware other than flatware, beverage cups and glasses,
				  shall be made available for each return trip. Written notice shall be provided
				  informing customers that clean tableware needs to be used for return
				  trips.

				  presence of coliform bacteria or the chemical constituents to be
				  tested.
(2) "Coliform bacteria" or
				  "total coliform" means aerobic or facultative anaerobic, gram-negative,
				  non-spore forming, rod shaped bacteria included in the genera Klebsiella,
				  Enterobacter, Escherichia and Citrobacter. Coliform bacteria originate in soil,

				  Environment and Natural Resources" or "Department" means the North Carolina
				  Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The term also means the
				  authorized representative of the Department.
(4) "Fecal coliform bacteria" or "fecal
				  coliform" means a sub-group of coliform bacteria that are present in the
				  intestinal tract and feces of warm-blooded animals. The presence of fecal
				  coliform bacteria in a water sample indicate fecal contamination and the
				  presumed presence of pathogens in the water supply
(5) "Local Health Department" means the
				  county or district health department or its successor.
