Nitrate Mass Balance Calculation <br /> 33503 S Koster Road, Tracy <br /> Data Input: <br /> Effluent Quantity(Q): 350 gals/day Concentration Rain (Nb): 1.00 mg/L-N <br /> Effluent Stream(N,,,): 35.00 mg/L-N Denitrification (d): 30.0% <br /> Site Area (A): 1.26 Acres Deep Perc. of Rain (R): 1.28 in/yr <br /> Waste Loading (W): 3.73 in/yr <br /> Result: <br /> Mass Balance(Nj: 18,5mg/L-N <br /> MCL Drinking Water Nitrate as N: 10.0 mg/L-N <br /> Percent of MCL Nitrate as N 185% <br /> Equations: <br /> (W) in = (Q) gal x 1 ft3 x 365 day x 1 acre x 12 in x 1 Find W <br /> yr day 7.48 gal 1 year 43,560 ft2 1 ft (A) acre <br /> 3.73 in/yr(site) =350 gal/day x(1 cu-ft/7.48 gals)x(365 days/1 year)x(1 acre/43,560 sq-ft)x(12 in/1 ft)x(1 site/1.26 acres) <br /> N - WN 1-d +RNb Hantzsche-Fennemore Equation(Nc� <br /> W+R <br /> 18.5 mg/L-N=((3.73 in/yr x 35 mg/L-N x(1-0.3))+(1.28 in/yr x 1mg/L-N))/(3.73 in/yr+1.28 in/yr) <br /> Variables: <br /> Nc = Average nitrate-N concentration (mg/1)of combined effluent and rainfall percolate(18.5 mg/L-N). <br /> W = Uniform waste water loading for study area (in/yr) (3.73 inches/year). <br /> Nw = Total nitrate-N concentration of waste water percolate(35 mg/L-N). <br /> d = Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to denitrification in the soil (30%). <br /> R= Uniform deep percolation of rainfall (1.28 in/yr). <br /> Nb = Background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall (1 mg/L-N). <br /> Assumptions: <br /> 1. Total nitrogen concentration of waste stream based on estimate of 35 mg/L-N. <br /> 2. Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to denitrification in the soil is assumed to be 30%. <br /> 3. Estimated deep percolation of rainfall is 1.28 in/yr, see deep percolation of rain worksheet. <br /> 4. Assume background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall is 1 mg/L-N. <br /> J&aelralogix <br /> Plate 8 <br />
