For example, runoff may result from water <br />that is applied at too great a rate (application rate exceeds infiltration rate) or when <br />there is a slope. <br />(ggg) "soil moisture sensing device" or "soil moisture sensor" means a device that <br />measures the amount of water in the soil. The device may also suspend or initiate an <br />irrigation event. <br />(hhh) "soil texture" means the classification of soil based on its percentage of sand, silt, <br />and clay. <br />(iii)"Special Landscape Area" (SLA) means an area of the landscape dedicated solely to <br />edible plants, areas irrigated with recycled water, water features using recycled water <br />and areas dedicated to active play such as parks, sports fields, golf courses, and where <br />turf provides a playing surface. <br />Ojj) "sprinkler head" means a device which delivers water through a nozzle. <br />(kkk) "static water pressure" means the pipeline or municipal water supply pressure when <br />water is not flowing. <br />(111) "station" means an area served by one valve or by a set of valves that operate <br />simultaneously. <br />(mmm) "swing joint" means an irrigation component that provides a flexible, leak -free <br />connection between the emission device and lateral pipeline to allow movement in any <br />direction and to prevent equipment damage. <br />(mm) "turf' means a ground cover surface of mowed grass. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky <br />bluegrass, Perennial ryegrass, Red fescue, and Tall fescue are cool -season grasses. <br />Bermudagrass, Kikuyugrass, Seashore Paspalum, St. Augustinegrass, Zoysiagrass, and <br />Buffalo grass are warm -season grasses. <br />(000) "valve" means a device used to control the flow of water in the irrigation system. <br />(ppp) "water conserving plant species" means a plant species identified as having a low <br />plant factor. <br />(qqq) "water feature" means a design element where open water performs an aesthetic or <br />recreational function. Water features include ponds, lakes, waterfalls, fountains, <br />artificial streams, spas, and swimming pools (where water is artificially supplied). The <br />surface area of water features is included in the high water use hydrozone of the <br />landscape area. Constructed wetlands used for on-site wastewater treatment or <br />stormwater best management practices that are not irrigated and used solely for water <br />treatment or stormwater retention are not water features and, therefore, are not subject <br />to the water budget calculation. <br />(rrr) "watering window" means the time of day irrigation is allowed. <br />(sss) "WUCOLS" means the Water Use Classification of Landscape Species published by <br />23152.08 10 1 \8405361.1 <br />ME <br />
