Holding pond definition

Holding pond means a storage tank or artificial impoundment or pond constructed above, on, below, or partly below the ground surface that is designed and maintained to store a specific volume of fluid and minimize fluid losses other than those primarily occurring by evaporation; generally, holding ponds are not intended to provide a mechanism for pollutant reduction. When used in conjunction with rapid-rate land application systems or other systems described in Chapter 62-610, F.A.C., holding ponds can also provide a mechanism to accomplish nitrogen reduction.
Holding pond means a pond designed to capture and store the normal runoff before the captured runoff is either applied to cropland or evaporated;
Holding pond means the unlined holding pond located adjacent to the Timmonsville WWTP, which has a capacity of approximately 43 million gallons.2
