Denitrification is expressed as a percentage, and the normally accepted range <br /> is 10 percent to 35 percent. Soils with higher clay content, moist soil conditions, high pH, <br /> and organic material denitrify by about 35 percent,and soils with high sand content and fast <br /> percolation rates are estimated to denitrify at a lower rate, about 10 percent to 15 percent. <br /> The Tokay soil is primarily a fine sandy loam,with moderate pH levels and moderate permeability; <br /> the Tokay soil is therefore estimated to denitrify at approximately 25%. <br /> 4.5 Nitrate Loading <br /> 1 A nitrate loading scenario was performed to determine the impact from the proposed <br /> project. The scenario utilizes the variables discussed previously which represent the <br /> ' estimated conditions and uses associated with this project. The following table presents a <br /> summary of the nitrate loading calculation for the parcel. <br /> ' Petralogix Engineering,Inc. <br /> 26675 Bruella Road,Galt,Ca 95632 <br /> (209)-000-5729 <br /> www,petralogix.com <br /> 1 <br />
