A facility classification from the NPDES permitting authorities based on: toxic pollutant potential, ratio of discharge flow/stream flow volume, conventional pollutant loading, public health impact, water quality factors, and proximity to coastal waters. Major facilities have a larger impact on receiving waters if not controlled than minor facilities; therefore, they receive more regulatory attention than minor facilities.; Source: FRS Data Dictionary
