For each application site, the following parameters shall be calculated and reported in the monthly monitoring reports. Sampling Reporting Constituents Units Type of Sample Frequency Frequency Application Area acres Measured Daily Monthly Hydraulic Loading Rate inches/acre-month Calculated Daily Monthly BODS Loading Rate lbs/acre-day Calculated' Weekly Monthly Total Nitrogen Loading Rate lbs/acre-month Calculated2 Monthly Monthly Cumulative Nitrogen Load lbs/acre-year Calculated -- Monthly Total Dissolved Solids lbs/acre-year Calculated Monthly Monthly Runoff Visual Inspection Observation Daily' Monthly ' BOD5 loading shall be calculated using the daily applied volume of wastewater, estimated daily application area, and the most recent results of effluent BODS. 2 Total nitrogen loading rates shall be calculated using the daily applied volume of wastewater, estimated daily application area, and the most recent results of total nitrogen. ' Runoff monitoring of the landscaped areas shall be performed when irrigation of the areas occurs. Frequency of monitoring during the day shall be sufficient to determine if runoff is occurring.
