Using the simple method calculating the following:
a)(5 pts) Calculate the pollutant load for total nitrogen and total coliform bacteria per year for present and developed condition for the following subwatershed.
b)(10 pts) If local ordinance only allows the export of 250lbs of total nitrogen and 500 billion total coliform colonies per year from this subwatershed, would an infiltration basin with total nitrogen removal rate of 60% and total coliform removal rate of 85% be sufficient?
Area =50 acres
Annual Rainfall, P=45.2 inches
Present conditions: Total imperviousness =1%, Rural condition
Total coliform bacteria =1,000 colonies ?100ml
Developed conditions: Total imperviousness =40%, High-density residential homes
Total coliform bacteria =10,000 colonies ?100ml
Answer: a)
\table[[,TN, lbs,Total coliform, billions of colonies],[Present conditions,,],[Developed conditions,,],[Removal by infiltration basin,,],[\table[[Net export (developed],[condition minus removal],[by infiltration basin)]],,]]
Answer: b)
\table[[,TN, lbs,Total coliform, billions of colonies],[\table[[Meets local ordinance?],[(circle your answer)]],Yes / no,Yes / no]]
