Total nitrogen concentration of influent waste stream is 35 mg/L-N. If different influent concentrations exist, use weighted average <br />2. Fraction of nitrate -N loss due to denitrification in the soil is 35%. <br />3. Estimated deep percolation of rainfall is 9.42 in/yr. <br />4. Background nitrate -N concentration of rainfall is 0.15 mg/L-N. <br />- - AW <br />JJFIRW <br />LIVE OAK <br />GEO ENVIRONMENTAL INC. <br />Nitrate Loading Calculation, I Plate No.: 17 <br />Parcel 1 (Potential Future Houses) <br />Project No: 2153 <br />Clarke Property <br />23702 N.
