The system receives primary effluent and treats it to a very high quality through the land treatment process. The flow of treated water passes through 10 m to 20 m of permeable sands and then moves laterally off the site. This shallow ground water is not used as a water supply and does not affect the deeper, separate aquifers. A 96% BOD and TOC removal was achieved. Because of the high BOD to nitrogen ratio, the relatively low loading rate of 15.4 m/yr, and the moderate climate, nitrogen was removed by nitrification and denitrification in the soil. The average nitrogen removal was 93%. Phosphorus removal was 30%. Trace element removal varied, but shallow ground-water levels were generally lower than guidelines established for unrestricted irrigation.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":"7 1","pages":"885-899"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88312065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Separate analyses of organic and bacterial pollution were carried out, using a combination of modeling techniques. Mathematical models which simulated the essential phenomena of these two types of pollution were calibrated. The hydrological balance of the lake was used to define the range of runoff values to be used in the design of control measures. The pollution loads were estimated, the self-purification factors calibrated, a wide range of simulated situations were analyzed, and sets of control curves of organic and bacterial pollution were prepared. Among the more significant findings is a deoxygenation rate of 0.02 and a bacterial disappearance rate of 0.6 in the strait.","PeriodicalId":17335,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83750476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concentration of volatile acids is generally well below 2,000 mg/1 when the system is in balance.
