Nitrate Loading Estimate <br /> A nitrate loading scenario was employed to determine the impact from the project to <br /> ground water. The scenario utilizes the variables discussed previously, which represent <br /> the estimated conditions and uses associated with this project. <br /> Parcel 1 Calculation <br /> The assumptions and details of the nitrate loading calculation for Parcel 1 are presented <br /> in Plate 15. The following table presents a summary of the assumptions for the <br /> calculation: <br /> Table 2. Assumptions for Nitrate Loading Calculation, Parcel 1 <br /> Variable Value Units Description <br /> Q 280 gpd Effluent flow rate <br /> Nw 35 mg/L-N Effluent stream concentration <br /> A 2.90 acres Site area <br /> Nb 1.00 mg/L-N Concentration of rain <br /> d 0.35 constant Denitrification factor <br /> inches per <br /> R 8.16 year Deep percolation of rain water <br /> inches per <br /> W 1.3 year Uniform waste water loading (calculated) <br /> Parcel 2 Calculation <br /> The assumptions and details of the nitrate loading calculation for Parcel 2 are presented <br /> in Plate 16.
