Contaminant Mobility-Due Next Class Period The Clear Lake Conservation Legion (2

Question

Contaminant Mobility-Due Next Class Period The Clear Lake Conservation Legion (2CL) has identified a variety of different contaminants about a half mile from the lake, and they would like to know if any of the contaminants pose an imminent threat to the lake. Complied data are summarized below. Sandy loam soil (40% sand-40% silt-20% clay) Bulk Density Porosity Organic matter fraction 0.1 Hydraulic Gradient Hydraulic Conductivity 3 x 10s ft/s Contaminant Benzene TCE PCB 9os2 1.8 0.40 0.065 Estimated Ko (L/kg) 0.1 0.15 25 10 Analyze data for 2CL and prepare a short report that describes whether contamination is an imminent threat to Clear Lake. Consider, travel time to lake, contaminant velocity

Explanation / Answer

As per the data mentioned TCE itself is the major harmful chemical which is resulted from consumer goods so over the time lake will get contaminated; if no proper precautions are taken. another PH 7.8±0.1 and in the presence of 0.001M NaCl. Effects of fulvic acid and ionic strength on the sorption of 90Sr2+on calcareous soil also cause a threat to lake conservation

As per my knowledge. Lake will contamination cant explained with the given data because to estimate the contamination velocity of travelling and travel time to the lake, we will be needing to try a different data sample collection experiment over the certain days, time and month to calculate a real-time based model.
