Dry Week Days Monitored: Aug 13-15, Aug 20-23, Aug 26-30, Sept 2-5, Sept 10-13, and Sept
16-18.

Dry Weekend Days Monitored: Aug 24-25, Sept 8, and Sept 14-15.

Nodes (manholes):
Node 1 MH BAA8A – 48” RCP (Matthews Cemetery NW Corner)
Node 2 MH BAA9A – 60” RCP (Casimer Street)
Node 3 MH BAAA8 – 66” RCP (8 Cable Street)

Design Parameters:
Hydraulic Loading rates per NYS Design Standards for Intermediate Wastewater Treatment
Systems, March 5, 2014. Calculations included below:

Apartments – Bedroom Units = 110 gpd/unit
Office Space= 15 gpd / employee

Average Daily Design Flow:
One Bdrm Units:(25 units) x (1 bdrm/unit)x 110gpd/bdrm=2,750 gpd
Two Bdrm Units:(25 units) x (2 bdrm/unit)x110gpd/bdrm=5,500 gpd
Three Bdrm Units:(25 units) x (3 bdrm/unit)x110gpd/bdrm=8,250 gpd
Office Space: 4 Employees x 15 gpd = 60 gpd
Total = 16,560 gpd

Peak Hourly Flow (Sanitary): 16,560 gpd x Peak Factor
Total Population=[(25x1)+(25x2)+(25x3)]x2 people per bedroom=
=150x2= 300People (assume 2 people per bedroom)+4 office employees=304. P = 0.304 (in
thousands)
Peaking Factor = (18 + √P) / (4+√P) = (18+0.5514)/(4+0.5514)=4.08
Peak Sanitary Demand =16,560x 4.08 =  67,565 gpd
  0.06800 MGD
  (0.10 CFS)

Sanitary Demand Calculations:
Node 1 – Average 16,560 gpd (0.017 MGD)

Entire Site:
110-gal/d/unit x 1bdrmx25 units=2,750 gpd
+ 110-gal/d/unit x 2bdrmx25 units=5,500 gpd
+110-gal/d/unitx3bdrmx25 units=8,250 gpd
4 employees x 15 gpd=60 gpd
Site total= 16,560 gpd

Ave. Total = 16,560 gpd (0.017 MGD)
Assume 2 people per bedroom. 2 x 150 bedrooms = 300 people + 4 office employees = 304
people. P = 0.304 (in thousands)
Peaking Factor = (18 + √P) / (4+√P) = 4.08
Peak Sanitary Demand = 16,560 x 4.08 =  67,565 gpd
