Worksheet No. 2 <br /> Nitrate Mass Balance Calculation <br /> Data Input <br /> Effluent Quantity: 3,840 gaWday Site Acreage (A): 126.35 A <br /> Effluent Stream N: 45.00 mg/L-N Concentration Rain N: 0.17 mg/L-N <br /> Fj Waste Loading (W): 0.41 in/yr Denitrification: 25.0% <br /> Deep Percolation of Rain: 2.54 in <br /> Result <br /> Mass Balance (Nc): 4.82 mgt-N <br /> MCLDrinicing Water: 10.0 mg/L-N <br /> !J Percent of MCL: 48% <br /> Equation <br /> �- NC = WNw(1-d)+RNb <br /> _ Variables <br /> Ne=Average nitrate-N concentration (mg/!) of combined effluent and rainfall percolate (4.82 mg/L-N). <br /> W= Uniform waste water loading for study area(in/yr) <br /> ` Nw= Total nitrate-N concentration of waste water percolate (45 mg/L-N). <br /> d= Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to Denitrification in the soil (25%). <br /> R= Uniform deep percolation of rainfall (2.54 in/yr). <br /> Nb= Background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall (0.17 mg/L-N). <br /> Assumptions <br /> 1. Nitrate-N concentration of waste stream based on estimate of 45 mg/L-N. <br /> Assumption based on work from Hantzsche and Finnemore, 1991. <br /> 7` 2. Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to Denitrification in the soil is assumed to be 25%. <br /> Assumption based on work from Hantzsche and Finnemore, 1991. <br /> 3. Estimated deep percolation of rainfall is 2.54, see Worksheet No. 1. <br /> 4. Assume background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall is(0.17 mg/L-N) based on range by <br /> Hantzsche and Fennemore, 1991. <br /> r IDE It8 <br /> NEIL D.ANDERSON&ASSOC.,INC. � <br /> (20)367-MM <br />
