Total nitrogen concentration of waste stream based on estimate of 35 mg/L-N. <br /> 2. Fraction of nitrate-N loss due to denitrification in the soil is assumed to be 35%. <br /> 3. Estimated deep percolation of rainfall is 5.29 in/yr, see deep percolation of rain worksheet. <br /> 4. Assume background nitrate-N concentration of rainfall is 1 mg/L-N. <br /> 10.petralogix <br /> Plate 9 <br />
