Question: Q 3 ( 7 . 5 pts ) . A city has a wastewater treatment plant ( WWTP ) that discharges the city's treated wastewater

Q3(7.5 pts). A city has a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that discharges the city's treated
wastewater into the river. Both the waste stream and the river are at 20C. The city council has asked that
you determine whether the discharge from the WWTP will reduce the DO below the state standard of
5.00mgL at Big Fish Junction, 6.78km downstream of the discharge point. The pertinent data are as
follows:
HINT: (1) Calculate the initial BOD after mixing (See hint 3 above)
(2) Calculate the initial oxygen deficit (using {:Da=DOs-Qw**DOw+Qx**DOxQk+Qs)
(3) Calculate travel time to Big Fish Junction - this is just doing some unit conversions with water
velocity (0)??
(4) Calculate oxygen deficit at Big Fish Junction - use D=kd**Lakd-kd**(expdots-expdots)+Da(expdots)
equation from notes!
(5) Calculate DO at Big Fish Junction (DO=DOs-D=dots) Note DOs is in table and D is answer from (4)
