Rainwater Nitrate Concentration <br />Date Nitrate (mg/L-N) <br />5/17/2019 0.4 <br />5/19/2019 0.2 <br />3/16/20 0.2 <br />5/18/20 0.4 <br />1/27/21, 10:00 0 (Non-detect) <br />1/27/21, 19:30 0 (Non-detect) <br />1/29/21 0.2 <br />2/11/21 0 (Non-detect) <br />2/12/21 0.1 <br />Average 0.17 <br /> <br />Live Oak then averaged the concentrations of the nine samples, for a value of 0.17 <br />mg/L-N to represent the nitrate concentration of rain. <br />Because the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department has requested that <br />local and recent data be utilized wherever possible, the concentration of the Lodi <br />rainwater been selected for use in the nitrate loading calculation. <br />Quantity and Quality of Domestic Wastewater <br />According to Mr. Cuellar, both existing homes have three bedrooms. <br />Crites and Tchobanoglous (1998) list a typical flow rate of 50 to 70 gallons per person <br />per day for an individual residence. In the past, San Joaquin County Environmental <br />Health Department has requested that the flow rate be calculated as 140 gallons per <br />bedroom per day to reflect maximum usage. On March 4, 2020, however, Michael Kith <br />of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department dictated a new procedure <br />for calculating residential flow, developed in consultation with Norman Hantzsche <br />(author of the 1992 paper discussed previously). He indicated that wastewater flow <br />from a single-family residence should be calculated as 100 gallons per day (gpd) for the <br />first bedroom and 50 gpd for each additional bedroom; additional residences should be <br />calculated in the same manner (personal communication, March 4, 2020).
