A plant discharges 4,000 gal/min of treated wastewater that contains 0.25 mg/L of PCB, (polychloronated biphenyls) into a river that contains no measurable PCBS upstream of the discharge. If the river flow rate is 1,500 cubic feet per second, after the discharged water has thoroughly mixed with the river water, what is the concentration of PCBS in the river in mg/L?
