4. A batch settling column analysis is performed on a surface water sample containing an initial SS concentration of \(597\mathrm{mg}/\mathrm{L}\). The settling column is 125 mm in diameter, 3.0 meters tall and has sampling ports located at \(0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0\), and 2.5 meters from the water surface. SS concentrations at various sampling times are listed in the table below. Make a plot of overall \%SS removal versus overflow rate and find the design overflow rate for \% suspended solids removal.
\begin{tabular}{cccccc}
\hline & \multicolumn{5}{c}{ Suspended Solids Remaining, mg/L }\\
\cline {2-6} Depth, \(\mathbf{m}\) & \(\mathbf{10}\mathbf{~ m i n}\) & \(\mathbf{20}\mathbf{~ m i n}\) & \(\mathbf{30}\mathbf{~ m i n}\) & \(\mathbf{40}\mathbf{~ m i n}\) & \(\mathbf{50}\mathbf{~ m i n}\)\\
\hline \(\mathbf{0.5}\) & 394 & 298 & 227 & 179 & 119\\
\(\mathbf{1.0}\) & 465 & 358 & 299 & 239 & 179\\
\(\mathbf{1.5}\) & 490 & 400 & 340 & 281 & 221\\
\(\mathbf{2.0}\) & 507 & 418 & 358 & 316 & 263\\
\(\mathbf{2.5}\) & 513 & 436 & 376 & 376 & 287
