A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharges its effluent in a river. The regulatory agency wishes to ensure that the DO level five (5) kilometres downstream and beyond from the WWTP is at least equal to 4.2 mg/L. Use the information provided in Table 1.1 to assist the agency in its environmental management. Table 1.1 Parameter values under current conditions Value Parameter Water temperature (°C) Effluent flow from the WWTP (m³/d) River flow upstream of plant (m/s) DOsat at 25°C (mg/L) DO in effluent from the WWTP (mg/L) DO upstream WWTP (mg/L) ka at 20°C (d) k, at 20°C (d) River velocity, v (m/s) Ultimate BOD in river upstream WWTP, Lo(mg/L) Ultimate BOD in effluent from WWTP, Lo (mg/L) 25.0 17360 0.43 8.38 1.0 6.5 0.458 0.478 0.10 0.0 15.0 a.

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. Determine the fecal coliform concentration at a public beach 10 km downstream of the leak. CFUS / 100 mL c. Will the New York State fecal coliform bathing standard of 200 CFUS /100 mL be met? O Yes O No Check

3. A 55.0 ML/d wastewater treatment plant discharges to a river system with a maximum spring flow of 149.5 m3/min and a minimum summer flow of 98.2 m3/min (upstream of the outfall from the plant). What total allowable BOD (mg/L) could be discharged by the plant if the BOD in the river after dilution must not exceed provincial standards, and there is already 1.1 mg/L of pollution in the river upstream?
Problem 2. The consumption of nitrates in drinking water is a particular concern for young children. Nitrates are a problem in agricultural areas of the Midwest due to fertilizer runoff. Compare the CDI over a one-year period for a 1-year-old child and an adult female consuming drinking water with a nitrate concentration of 10 mg/1. Use the EPA recommended values shown in Table 3-8.
