Sec. 445.2  General definitions.

    In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR 122.2, 257.2, 
258.2, 264.10, 265.10, 401.11, and 403.3 the following definitions apply 
to this part:
    (a) Contaminated ground water means water below the land surface in 
the zone of saturation which has been contaminated by activities 
associated with waste disposal.
    (b) Contaminated storm water means storm water which comes in direct 
contact with landfill wastes, the waste handling and treatment areas, or 
landfill wastewater as defined in paragraph (f) of this section. Some 
specific areas of a landfill that may produce contaminated storm water 
include (but are not limited to): the open face of an active landfill 
with exposed waste (no cover added); the areas around wastewater 
treatment operations; trucks, equipment or machinery that has been in 
direct contact with the waste; and waste dumping areas.
    (c) Landfill directly associated with an industrial or commercial 
operation means:
    (1) A landfill located on the same site as industrial or commercial 
operations; and
    (2) A landfill not located on the same site as the industrial or 
commercial operations (off-site), but ``wholly-owned'' by the industrial 
or commercial facility and primarily dedicated to receiving waste from 
the related industrial or commercial facility.
    (d) Facility means all contiguous property owned, operated, leased 
or under the control of the same person or entity.
    (e) Landfill unit means an area of land or an excavation in which 
wastes are placed for permanent disposal, that is not a land application 
or land treatment unit, surface impoundment, underground injection well, 
waste pile, salt dome formation, a salt bed formation, an underground 
mine or a cave as these terms are defined in 40 CFR 257.2, 258.2 and 
264.10.
    (f) Landfill wastewater means all wastewater associated with, or 
produced by, landfilling activities except for sanitary wastewater, non-
contaminated storm water, contaminated ground water, and wastewater from 
recovery pumping wells. Landfill wastewater includes, but is not limited 
to, leachate, gas collection condensate, drained free liquids, 
laboratory derived wastewater, contaminated storm water and contact 
washwater from washing truck, equipment, and railcar exteriors and 
surface areas which have come in direct contact with solid waste at the 
landfill facility.
    (g) Non-contaminated storm water means storm water which does not 
come in direct contact with landfill wastes, the waste handling and 
treatment areas, or landfill wastewater that is defined in paragraph (f) 
of this section. Non-contaminated storm water includes storm water which 
flows off the cap, cover, intermediate cover, daily cover, and/or final 
cover of the landfill.

    (h) Off-site means outside the boundaries of a facility.
    (i) On-site means within the boundaries of a facility.
    (j) Public service means the provision of landfill waste disposal 
services to individual members of the general public, publicly-owned 
organizations (schools, universities, government agencies, 
municipalities) and not-for-profit organizations for which the landfill 
does not receive a fee or other remuneration.
