Situ Parigi is located in Parigi Lama Village, Pondok Aren District, South Tangerang City. Based on the water quality measurements of Situ Parigi, BOD parameter has the highest concentration. This indicates that the type of waste that enters this water body is dominated by organic waste produced from domestic activities around it. The purpose of this study is to determine the pollutant load capacity of BOD in Situ Parigi. Pollutant load capacity is calculated using formulas in Minister of Environment Regulation No. 28 of 2009 concerning Capacity of Lake Water Pollution and/or Reservoir Load. Situ Parigi has an area of 4 Ha, an average depth of 0.98 m, a debit of 0.023 m3/sec and a hydraulic residence time of 18.25 days. Based on the calculations results, the pollutant load capacity of Situ Parigi is 3,169.81 kg/year but must accommodate a load of 20,553.15 kg/year. These results show that the pollution that occurs in Situ Parigi has exceeded its capacity. Control strategies such as dredging work and the construction of communal wastewater treatment plants could be carried out in an effort to reduce the occurring pollution levels.
