(50)1. A study has shown that under low flow conditions, the flow in a given stream
located at an elevation of 600 feet above msl will be 20cfs just above a STP
outfall. The STP discharge will be 3.23 MGD (5cfs. A laboratory study on a 4
parts stream water and 1 part effluent mixture sample yielded the following
results Carbonaceous BOD; NBOD = Nitrogeneous BOD; TBOD =
CBOD + NBOD):
Ultimate CBOD=10.0mgL
kd(20C)=0.30? day
Ultimate NBOD =20.0mgL
kn(20C)=0.0 for first 3 days in bottle or stream and 0.18? day after 3 days
NBODNH3-N=4.5
At a stream temperature of 25C, determine the following for kd,=1.08
for kn, and =1.02 for ka):
a. The 5-day 20C CBOD, and the NH3-N concentration of a sample collected
immediately below the outfall.
b. The ultimate CBOD, the ultimate NBOD, the 5-day 20C CBOD, the 5-day
20C TBOD, and the NH3-N concentration of a sample collected at a point
6 days travel time downstream from the outfall.
c. The mean velocity in the stream segment downstream from the outfall
which has the following properties: slope =8ftmi and upstream
drainage basin area =200sqmi. Under these conditions the stream
velocity may be estimated from the following expression:
U=0.40+4.1qSS0.5,q: instream discharge =Q? drainage basin area
in mi/day,S in ftmi,Q in cfs,A in sq mi).
d. The atmospheric reaeration coefficient (25C) for the segment by the
Dobins- O'Connor model. Assume D is constant for the latter. The
mean depth is 2ft. Use the velocity determined in part c.
e. The percentage of D.O. saturation when the stream D.O. is 5mgL in the
summer (25C) and winter (4C). The chloride effect may be neglected.
