56  COD removed from wastewater (domestic and commercial)
 (1) Tonnes of COD removed, calculated in accordance with subsection (4).
 (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility whose primary activity is the handling of either or both of domestic or commercial wastewater and which reports emissions under Division 5.3 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 (3) The default emissions intensity is 0.513 t CO2‑e per tonne of COD removed.
 (4) For paragraph (1), COD removed is given by the following equation:
  COD removed = CODmeasured entering – (CODin effluent leaving site + CODin sludge leaving site)
where:
CODmeasured entering is the COD entering the site measured consistently with the requirements in Division 5.3 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
CODin effluent leaving site is the COD leaving the site measured consistently with the requirements in Division 5.3 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
CODin sludge leaving site is COD in sludge leaving the site measured consistently with the requirements in Division 5.3 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 (5) In this section:
COD or chemical oxygen demand means the total material available for chemical oxidation (both biodegradable and non‑biodegradable) measured in tonnes.
