For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) The ``average process water usage flow rate'' of a finishing water process in liters per day is equal to the volume of process water (liters) used per year by a process divided by the number of days per year the process operates. The ``average process water usage flow rate'' for a plant with more than one plastics molding and forming process that uses finishing water is the sum of the ``average process water usage flow rates'' for the finishing processes.
(b) The ``volume of process water used per year'' is the volume of process water that flows through a finishing water process and comes in contact with the plastics product over a period of one year.
