rFGPREDICTED NITRATE-NTTROGEN LOADING ed or estimated nitrate-nitrogen impact to the soil and ultimately to the grou7from detemune due to the large number of variables involved. These variables future additions and/or design changes to the on-site septic system, 2.) Imp upgradient nitrate sources, 3.)Variability in wastewater flows, nitrogen concentrations and dilution effects from effluent and stormwater recharge, 4.) Changes in groundwater directional flow and elevation, 5.) Denitrification potential within the soil environment and within the confined and unconfined aquifers and 6.) Landscape uptake of nitrogen. Various scientific methods exist to estimate nitrate-nitrogen loading. This Study will use the Hantzsche/Finnemore Formula to predict the average resultant concentration of nitrate-nitrogen in effluent recharge water. As calculated below, each of the two parcels have been assessed on an areal loading basis correlated with the total number ofpeople per day. These two factors primarily dictate the average resultant concentration of nitrate-nitrogen in the recharge water, which cannot exceed 10 ppm nitrate-nitrogen(45 ppm as nitrate). However, as a safety factor, it will be assumed that the average daily number of customers and employees as illustrated in the Demographics Chart on Page 3 will be the average-every day of the year. Additionally, only the water park demographic numbers will change since it is known for a fact that it will operate only during the months of June, July and August. Therefore, since the total daily demographic number is estimated to be 105 people on a yearly basis,this translates to 105 x 3 mos. _ 12 mos. = 26 people per day. Depending upon the interpretation of the Porter-Cologne Water Act by the Environmental Health Department, it is assumed that the nitrate concentration of the resultant septic system effluent recharge cannot exceed the current water table concentration of 31 ppm NO3. The following cafculations demonstrate that the resultant effluent recharge water from e entire "Bogetti's Orchard" facility will not exceed 10 ppm NO3-N, or 45 ppm NO3, or the current water table concentration of 31 ppm NO3.
