The Nb is <br />an average value determined for San Joaquin County by the EHD. <br />EXISTING AND PROPOSED HOME CALCULATIONS: <br />Nr=IxNw(1-d)+RxNb_(I+R) <br />Assumptions: <br />= 73,000 gallons = 9,759 cubic feet wastewater _ [(1.193 acres x 43,560 feet2) = 12 <br />inches] = 9,759 - 4,331 = 2.25 inches/year <br />NW = 34.425 mg/L-N <br />d = 30 percent denitrification <br />R = 3.69 inches/year <br />Nb = 1.0 milligram per liter <br />Nr = [2.25 inches/year x 34.425 mg/L-N (1-0.30)] + (3.69 inches/year x 1.0 milligram per <br />liter) - (2.25 inches/year + 3.69 inches/year) <br />Nr=57.91 =5.94=9.75 <br />Nr = 9.75 ppm nitrogen (NO3_N) <br />9.7. IMPACT OF NITROGEN LOADING FROM SITE PROJECT TO <br />DOWNGRADIENT WATER SOURCES <br />The recharging of groundwater is the most likely potential feature that could impact future <br />nitrogen loading. Since the subject property is flat, AGI does not anticipate percolating <br />effluent will affect any nearby water sources. Based on the volume of wastewater to be <br />generated and the depth to groundwater (90-100 feet bsg), the potential vertical migration <br />would not likely degrade the local groundwater. A total of 9.75 ppm of additional nitrogen <br />is estimated to be added to the site over the long term through wastewater recharge from <br />the proposed septic system. The nitrogen loading value is below the desired value of <br />10 ppm. <br />10.0. TOTAL NITRATE IMPACT FROM PROPOSED PROJECT <br />Based on the method and assumptions described, proposed NO3_N mass of wastewater <br />and the calculations of the NO3_N loading predicted, the proposed development should <br />not negatively impact NO3_N loading rates within the aquifer. The soil at the site appear <br />to be adequate for nitrate degradation and proper leaching of wastewater. A total of <br />
