CURRENT ON-SITE SOURCES OF NITRATE <br /> Septic systems, rainfall and agriculture are sources of nitrates (fertilizers) present on or <br /> around the property. <br /> The current site usage includes a 1,343-square foot house with four bedrooms. <br /> Residential use includes showering/bathing, clothes washing, cooking, and hand <br /> washing. The reasonable or maximum usage of wastewater for the four-bedroom house <br /> is 100 gpd for the first bedroom and 50 gpd for each additional bedroom for a total of <br /> 250 gpd. <br /> The total nitrate-nitrogen (NO3_N) average concentrations in domestic waste ranges <br /> between 20 to 85 milligram total nitrogen liter (mg/1-N)with an average of 45 mg/1-N when <br /> washing and sanitation is considered. <br /> The weighted average calculation for total nitrogen concentrations for onsite residential <br /> flow is proposed as the following: <br /> • Residential volume 250 gpd. <br /> • Home use concentration 45 mg/1-N (EHD standard). <br /> • The flow concentration of 11,250 mg/1-N gallon. <br /> 9.4. FUTURE ON-SITE SOURCES OF NITRATE <br /> The future site usage includes the addition of a small residence with two bedrooms for <br /> residential use. Residential use includes showering/bathing, clothes washing, cooking, <br /> and hand washing. The reasonable or maximum usage of wastewater for the two- <br /> bedroom home is 100 gpd for the first bedroom and 50 gpd for each additional bedroom <br /> for a total of 150 gpd. <br /> The total nitrate-nitrogen (NO3_N) average concentrations in domestic waste ranges <br /> between 20 to 85 mg/1-N with an average of 45 mg/1-N when washing and sanitation is <br /> considered. <br /> The weighted average calculation for total nitrogen concentrations for onsite residential <br /> flow is proposed as the following: <br /> • Residential volume 150 gpd. <br /> • Home use concentration 45 mg/1-N (EHD standard). <br /> • The flow concentration of 6,750 mg/1-N gallon. <br />
