      2. The design flow rate for various types of establishments, as set forth in the applicable regulations of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") as amended, currently cited in NJ.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 shall be used to determine the equivalency factor for the type of establishment listed therein.
