consecutive sampling occasion definition
consecutive sampling occasion means consecutive sequential ‘sampling occasions’ regardless of frequency.
consecutive sampling occasion means consecutive sequential sampling occasions regardless of frequency “consequence category” means the category of dame, either low, significant or high, following the consequence assessment. into which a dam is assessed as a result of the application of tables and other criteria in the Manual for Assessing Consequence Categories and Hydraulic Performance of Structures (EM635). “consequence” in relation to a structure means the potential for environmental harm resulting from the collapse or failure of the structure to perform its primary purpose of containing, diverting or controlling flowable substances “construction” or "constructed" in relation to a dam includes building a new dam and modifying or lifting an existing dam, but does not include investigations and testing necessary for the purposes of preparing a design plan. “contaminant” A contaminant can be –(a) a gas, liquid or solid; or(b) an odour; or(c) an organism (whether alive or dead), including a virus; or(d) energy, including noise, heat, radioactivity and electromagnetic radiation; or(e) a combination of contaminants. “contaminated” means a substance has come into contact with a contaminant. “dam crest volume” means the volume of material (liquids and/or solids) that could be within the walls of a dam at any time when the upper level of that material is at the crest level of that dam. That is, the instantaneous maximum volume within the walls, without regard to flows entering or leaving (for example, via spillway). “dam” means a land-based structure or a void that contains, diverts or controls flowable substances, and includes any substances that are thereby contained, diverted or controlled by that land-based structure or void and associated works. “design plan” is a document setting out how all identified consequence scenarios are addressed in the planned design and operation of a regulated structure. “design storage allowance or DSA” means an available volume, estimated in accordance with the Manual for Assessing Consequence Categories and Hydraulic Performance of Structures (ESR/2016/1933) published by the administering authority, must be provided in a dam as at 1 November each year in order to prevent a discharge from that dam to an annual exceedance probability (AEP) specified in that Manual. “designer” for the purposes of a regulated dam, means the certifier of the design plan for the regulated dam. “document” has the same meaning in the Acts Interpretation Act 1954. “effluent” treat...
