Quite often diversification is the key to success of almost anything we do, and wastewater treatment is no exception. For the following influent wastewater stream identified below, describe an alternative natural wastewater treatment scheme that could be used to treat the wastewater where a combination of nature-based unit processes are use along with the necessary unit operations required for stream discharge. The discharge from the treatment system should have an average BOD5 and TSS less than or equal to 20 mg/L, the ammonia level less than 0.5 mg/L and a dissolved oxygen level greater than 2 mg/L (Texas typical discharge limits into a stream). Do not design the systems, but identify the treatment train (step 1>>step 2>>step 3, etc. where "step # identifies the treatment step, such as the PIP) and then briefly describe what is occurring within each step of your proposed treatment train. Flowrate 1x106 gpd BOD5 250 mg/L TDS 950 mg/L TSS 300 mg/L Total Nitrogen 40 mg/L NO3-N 8 mg/L
