Total nitrogen concentration of waste stream based on estimate of 85 mg/L-N. <br /> 2. Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to denitrification in the soil is assumed to be 15%. <br /> 3. Estimated deep percolation of rainfall is 12.47 in/yr,see deep percolation of rain worksheet. <br /> 4. Assume background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall is 1 mg/L-N. <br /> P-V— <br /> a rerracon <br />
