The town of State College discharges 17,360 m  /d of treated wastewater into the Bald Eagle Creek. -1 The treated wastewater has a BOD 5 of 12 mg/L and a k for BOD kinetics of 0.12 d  in laboratory 3 study at 20°C. Bald Eagle Creek has a flow rate of 0.43m  /s and an ultimate BOD of 5.0 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Example 4-8 Calculate the DO and initial ultimate BOD after mixing. 2) (Example 4-9) Calculate the initial deficit of the Bald Eagle Creek after mixing with the wastewater from the town of State College. The stream temperature is 10ºC and the wastewater temperature is 10ºC. 3)

(Example 4-10) Determine the deoxigenation rate constant for the reach of Bald Eagle Creek below the wastewater outfall, discharge pipe. The average speed of the stream flow in the creek is 0.03 m/s. The depth is 5.0 m and the bed-activity coefficient is 0.35.

4) Determine the DO concentration at a point 5 km downstream from the State College discharge into the Balad Eagle Creek. Also determine the critical DO and the distance downstream at which it occurs (Example 4-11).
