Step 1. Variations
Flow given in cfs, not m3/s does not
matter for mixing calculations
Saturation DO given no need to look up
Ultimate BOD given no need to calculate
from BOD5
2. Determine Reaeration
Rate
kr = 0.76 day-1 given
no need to calculate from stream geometry
assume given value is at the stream
temperature (since not otherwise specified),
so no need to correct
3. Determine the
Deoxygenation Rate
kd = 0.61 day-1 given
no need to calculate corrections from
stream geometry
assume given value is at the stream
temperature (since not otherwise specified),
so no need to correct
