           (c) for each deep open anaerobic lagoon that is part of the same treatment facility—is the same period of time as the historical period of sampling for each other deep open anaerobic lagoon that is part of the treatment facility.

              Note 1: For a particular deep open anaerobic lagoon, the period must be the same for all sampling undertaken for the purposes of using Subdivision 4 of Division 3 of Part 4.

           (b) industrial wastewater;

       major venting event: a major venting event occurs when biogas in the storage capacity of an anaerobic digester is released to the atmosphere in a way that does not represent the proper operation of the anaerobic digester, including:
           (a) when the biogas is released intentionally (for example, for safety or maintenance purposes); and
           (b) when the biogas is released unintentionally (for example, as the result of a system failure).

       monitoring and control system has the meaning given by section 5A.

       monitoring requirements means the requirements set out in section 45.

       natural gas means a substance that:
           (a) is in a gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure; and
           (b) consists of naturally occurring hydrocarbons, or a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons, the principal constituent of which is methane; and
           (c) is suitable for consumption.

       NGA Factors document means the document entitled "National Greenhouse Accounts Factors", published by the Department and as in force from time to time.
