Nitrate Loading Analysis BSK Job E21-002-01B <br />2482 Carpenter Road June 23, 2021 <br />Stockton, California I 6 <br />4.5 Mass Balance of Nitrogen Loading Using Hantzsche and Fin nemore Calculation: <br />A nitrate loading analysis was prepared using a simplified prediction of Ground-Water Nitrate build up <br />from Hantzsche and Finnemore, 1992. The nitrate loading equation is: <br />in w (1—d)+Rn b <br />nr = <br />(1+R) <br />where: <br />nr Average concentration of nitrate-nitrogen in recharge water <br />Volume Rate of Wastewater entering the soil averaged over gross developed area in <br />inches/year <br />Total nitrogen concentration of wastewater in milligrams per liter <br />Fraction of nitrate-nitrogen loss due to denitrification in the soil (unitless ratio) <br />Average recharge rate of rainfall in inches per year <br />nb Background nitrate-nitrogen concentration of rainfall recharge at the water table <br />Table 1 presents the estimated input values and assumptions used in the analysis.
