Effluent Testing for the Ahern Truck Stop Design <br /> By Paul Donoho, R.E.H.S. <br /> The system at the Ahern Truck stop has been designed to reduce the nutrient load to the soil disposal <br /> area. It will not only reduce the BODS, and TSS but is designed to reduce the Nitrate loading to 10 mg/L <br /> or lower. The following is the recommended sampling protocol for this system from the Orenco OM&M <br /> Manual which is an attachment to the design. <br /> Testing Shall be performed on the influent and effluent on a quarterly basis for the first year of <br /> operation. These tests shall include BODS,TSS and Nitrate. During this period the results shall be used <br /> to adjust(as necessary)the Alkalinity and Carbon feed to achieve the highest possible Nitrate reduction <br /> while maintaining the lowest BODS and TSS readings. <br /> All other testing and maintenance shall also follow the recommendations in the above-mentioned <br /> manual. <br />
