FORM 2A—GLOSSARY CONTINUED
DAILY DISCHARGE means the"discharge of a pollutant"measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling.For pollutants with limitations expressed in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.For pollutants with limitations expressed in other units of
measurement,the"daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day.
DIRECT DISCHARGE means the"discharge of a pollutant."
DIRECTOR means the Regional Administrator or the State Director,as the context requires,or an authorized representative.When there
is no"approved State program,"and there is an EPA administered program,"Director"means the Regional Administrator.When there is
an approved State program,"Director"normally means the State Director.In some circumstances,however,EPA retains the authority to
take certain actions even when there is an approved State program.(For example,when EPA has issued an NPDES permit prior to the
approval of a State program,EPA may retain jurisdiction over that permit after program approval,see§123.1.)In such cases,the term
"Director"means the Regional Administrator and not the State Director.
DISCHARGE(OF A POLLUTANT)means:
• Any addition of any pollutant or combination of pollutants to waters of the United States from any point source;or
• Any addition of any pollutant or combination of pollutants to the waters of the contiguous zone or the ocean from any point source
other than a vessel or other floating craft which is being used as a means of transportation.
This definition includes discharges into waters of the United States from:surface runoff which is collected or channelled by man;
discharges through pipes,sewers,or other conveyances owned by a State,municipality,or other person which do not lead to a treatment
works;and discharges through pipes,sewers,or other conveyances,leading into privately owned treatment works.This term does not
include an addition of pollutants by any"indirect discharger".
DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORT means the EPA uniform national form,including any subsequent additions,revisions,or
modifications for the reporting of self-monitoring results by permittees.DMRs must be used by"approved States"as well as by EPA. EPA
will supply DMRs to any approved State upon request.The EPA national forms may be modified to substitute the state agency name,
address,logo,and other similar information,as appropriate,in place of EPA's.
DRAFT PERMIT means a document prepared under§124.6 indicating the Director's tentative decision to issue or deny,modify,revoke
and reissue,terminate,or reissue a"permit."A notice of intent to terminate a permit,and a notice of intent to deny a permit,as discussed
in§124.5,are types of"draft permits."A denial of a request for modification,revocation and reissuance,or termination,as discussed in
§124.5,is not a"draft permit."A"proposed permit"is not a"draft permit."
EFFLUENT LIMITATION means any restriction imposed by the Director on quantities,discharge rates,and concentrations of"pollutants"
