FCNITRATELOADING POTENTIAL FOR PARCEL 3 <br />INW(1-d)+RN,, <br />Nr = (I + R) <br />Where: <br />Nr = Resultant average concentration of nitrate -nitrogen in effluent recharge water - (ppm NO, -N). <br />I = Volume rate of wastewater entering the soil averaged over the gross developed area in in/yr. <br />Nw = Total nitrogen concentration of wastewater assumed to be 45 mg N/L <br />d = Fraction (%) of nitrate -nitrogen combined loss in the soil due to denitrification estimated at 45%. <br />R = Net Rainfall Recharge determined by the document found in Appendix B. <br />Nb = Background nitrate -nitrogen concentration of rainfall recharge, exclusive of wastewater influences <br />INW(1-d)+RNb <br />Nr = (I + R) <br />Values and Assumptions: <br />For nitrate loading calculations, the EHD has specified wastewater flow projections from single family residential <br />(SFR) structures to be calculated as follows: 100 gallons per day (gpd) for the first bedroom and 50 gpd for all <br />subsequent bedrooms within the structure. <br />I = 15 Bedrooms = 800 gals/d x 365 = 292.000 ga`vr = 39,037 cu ft = 3.32 in/yr <br />3.24 Ac x 43,560 sq ft/Ac x (1 ft/12 in) <br />I <br />Nw = 45 mg N/L <br />d = 45% denitrification factor based on the nitrate -nitrogen concentrations observed in the soil chemistry test results. <br />R= 8.82 in/yr <br />Nb = Assumed to be 0.1 ppm NO3-N <br />(3.32 in/)r) (45 mg N/L) (1 - 0.45) + ( 8.82 x 0.1 m /g/L) <br />Nr = (3.32 in/yr + 8.82 in/yr) <br />Nr = 7.0 ppm as nitrate -nitrogen (NO3-N ); 30.5 ppm as nitrate (NO3). <br />Parcel 3 can support 15 bedrooms. <br />Page -9- <br />Chesney Consulting <br />
