A 15,000 gallon tanker truck containing three separate compartments crashed and spilled in the side of the 22 Highway in the month of December. In the three 5,000 gallon compartments two contained Trichloroethylene (TCE) while the other contained 5,000 gallons of xylene. The spill entered a local drainage ditch and flowed two miles down the road where it has frozen in a farmers field. 3 Ha of the field has been contaminated and has entered the soil six inches deep. Reaction by the chemical response team has removed immediately 55% of the TCE and 40% of the xylene to prevents any further movement. What is the concentration of chemicals still in the field? Express in ppm, ppb, %

Storm Sewers and Detention

The storm drains system transports rainwater or stormwater and other runoff from roads, parking lots, and roof downpipes directly to nearby creeks, rivers, or the sea without any treatment.

Question

A 15,000 gallon tanker truck containing three separate compartments crashed and spilled in the side of the
22 Highway in the month of December. In the three 5,000 gallon compartments two contained
Trichloroethylene (TCE) while the other contained 5,000 gallons of xylene. The spill entered a local
drainage ditch and flowed two miles down the road where it has frozen in a farmers field. 3 Ha of the field
has been contaminated and has entered the soil six inches deep. Reaction by the chemical response team has
removed immediately 55% of the TCE and 40% of the xylene to prevents any further movement. What is
the concentration of chemicals still in the field? Express in ppm, ppb, %
PTCE = 1.464 g/mL
Prytene = 0.881 g/mL
Proil = 1.4 g./cm'

An environmental engineer is evaluating an option to construct a secondary containment structure around a hydrocarbon processing unit. The first level of containment cost a total of $9 million, and the second levee is expected to have the same cost. The first level of containment is expected to have a reliability of 0.94, and the second level will function as an independent parallel component in the hydrocarbon spill prevention system. If the damages avoided by preventing a hydrocarbon spill are $150 million, what is the benefit-cost ratio of constructing a redundant containment structure?
A PFR is designed to treat incoming waste water containing 7.33 mM of H2S at a flow rate of 100 liters/min. The observed removal rate constant is 0.003 L/mg/hr. 90% removal is required.

A pickle-packing plant produces and discharges a waste brine solution with a salinity of 13,000 mg/L NaCl, at a rate of 100 gal/min, discharged into a stream with a flow rate above the discharge of 1.2 MGD and a salinity of 20 mg/L. Below the discharge point is a prime sport fishing spot, and the fish are intolerant of salt concentrations of 200 mg/L. What must the level of salt in the effluent be to reduce the level in the stream to 200 mg/L?

3. Sewage with a fecal coliform bacteria count of 8x105 CFUS / 100 mL is leaking into a river at a rate of 0.1 m/s. Upstream of the leak, the river flow is 100 m/s and the fecal coliform bacteria count is 40 CFUS / 100 mL. The average velocity in the river is given as 0.25 m /s and the bacteria die-off rate is given as 2.4 /d. a. Write the mass balance equation for fecal coliform bacteria at the discharge point of the and downstream of the discharge. O See pdf O Not sure how to proceed b.

The herbicide atrazine is accidentally spilled into a river, resulting in 80 μg/L atrazine concentration in the water column at the site of the spill. The intake of a local drinking water supply is located 15 km downstream of the site of the accident. The average river flow velocity is 0.5 m/s and the dispersion coefficient is 50 m2/s. Assuming steady-state conditions in the river and that advection is the dominant transport mechanism, approximately how long will it take for the chemical to reach the drinking water intake? Assume that no transformation of atrazine will occur

The three statements below all refer to standard single-barrel reverse flow cyclones used to remove particulate matter from air. For each statement, indicate whether it is True or False and explain your reasoning. a) If a cyclone has a collection efficiency of 25% for a specific-sized particle, then it can be expected always to have a collection efficiency of 50% if the particle size doubles, assuming all else remains constant. b) If a cyclone has a collection efficiency of 25% for a particle having a specified density, then it can be expected always to have a collection efficiency of 50% if the particle density doubles, assuming all else remains constant. c) To a single decimal place, the effective number of turns made in traversing a standard cyclone is always 37.7, independent of the cyclone size and air flow rate into the cyclone.
A river flowing at 15 m^3/sec has a tributary feeding into it with a flow of 5 m^3/sec. The stream concentration of chlorides upstream of the junction is 20 mg/L and the tributary chloride concentration is 45 mg/L. Treating chloride as a conservative substance, and assuming complete mixing of the two streams, find the downstream chloride concentration.
A forty-foot wooden hull fishing vessel sprang an unexpected leak a few days after leaving port. As more water entered the vessel, the engine was flooded, and the vessel eventually sank. Inspection of the vessel during the leak showed that the water was coming from underneath a refrigerated space in the front part of the vessel. In view of its construction style, the bilge underneath the vessel was inaccessible. The underwriter refused to indemnify the insured for the loss of the vessel by claiming that the latter had not exercised diligence to make the vessel seaworthy prior to the developing of the leak. The owner/master of the ship had no knowledge of the leak before the ship started its voyage. Do you think the loss is covered under the policy?
A chemical spill occurred at a gas station and a homeowner worried that the chemical could contaminate their well located at 100 feet away from the spill point. The hydraulic conductivity and the water table slope of the aquifer are 0.014 ft/sec and 1%, respectively. How long it takes the chemical to get the well? Assume the porosity is 20%.
