Slug loading definition

Slug loading means any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants, released in a discharge at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration as to cause interference in the POTW.
Slug loading means (1) any discharge of water, domestic waste or industrial waste which in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of flow exceeds more than 5 times the average 24-hour concentration or quantity of flow during normal operation, for any period longer than 15 minutes; or (2) any pollutant released in a discharge at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which will cause interference with the POTW; or (3) any discharge of a non- routine, episodic nature, including, but not limited to, an accidental spill or a non-customary batch discharge.
Slug loading means any slug discharge that has a reasonable potential to cause damage to the POTW; be harmful to the wastewater treatment processes; adversely affect the management or operation of the POTW or POTW sludge management or disposal; cause pass through or interference or otherwise cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit; violate any pretreatment standard or requirement as provided by this Article or by any permit or order issued under this Article; adversely affect the quality of the receiving waters or the ambient air quality; endanger worker health and safety; constitute a public nuisance; or otherwise adversely impact the public health, safety or welfare or the environment.
