On a molar basis the C:N:P ratio for algae is 106:16:1 and on a mass basis it is 41:7.2:1 The mass ratio of the lake water is:

C 0.40 13.3 = = N 0.12 4 P 0.03 1

Therefore, carbon is limiting.

a. From Table 5.11, = 0.34 for a sand aquifer

K=

(0.34) 0.09 m d v v' = = = 61.2 m d dh dh (0.0005) dL dL

b. R =

v' vcontaminant

so vcontaminant =

m v' 0.09 d = = 0.015 m d 6 R

and the distance traveled is (0.015 m/d) (365 d) = 5.48 m

c. Calculate the maximum contaminant mass dissolved based on the aqueous solubility and density of PCE (use Table 5.14)

g (0.34)(2.0 m )(4.0 m )(5.48 m ) = 2,230 g mmax = 150 m3 Calculate the mass leaked
mleaked = 100 mL

1.63 g (365 d ) = 59,500 g mL d

Since the mass leaked > soluble mass, the solubility limit is exceeded and the guideline for the aqueous concentration in the presence of NAPLs (see page 258) is used: CPCE = 0.10 Aq SolPCE = 15 mg/L d.
Q = wcapture 2 Bv = (2 m ) 2 (4 m )(0.34 ) 0.09 m
