#D002		Temporary bypass authorization	authorization to exceed the standards for maintenance or construction work	high
#D003		Temporary authorization to deposit un-ionized ammonia	authorization for systems that have issues with ammonia but meet the other effluent limits	high
#D004		Completed	means that a wastewater system has been upgraded to meet the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER) effluent quality standards or has been decommissioned	high
#D005		Expired	means extension deadline has passed and the transitional authorization is no longer valid	high
#D006		In progress	means that the wastewater system still has an active transitional authorization in place	high
#D007		WSER	Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations	high

#D009		no treatment	wastewater effluent receives no treatment or only preliminary treatment before deposit	high

#D011		Category 1	Lower risk releases	high
#D012		Category 2	Medium risk releases	high
#D013		Category 3	Higher risk releases	high
#D014		Transitional authorization	A transitional authorization is for communities with wastewater systems not designed to meet the regulatory standards.

It also sets site specific effluent standards and monitoring and reporting requirements.	high
#D015		Temporary bypass authorization	A temporary bypass authorization allows communities to release undertreated wastewater for planned maintenance and construction.	high
#D016		Temporary authorization to deposit un-ionized ammonia	A temporary authorization to deposit un-ionized ammonia allows a wastewater system to release wastewater that is acutely lethal because of un-ionized ammonia. The environment where wastewater is released must however be able to absorb the un-ionized ammonia. The wastewater must also meet the other effluent limits of the Regulations.	high
