Currently there are 30 units being served by both Brush Creek Sewer District and The City of Pacific. The owner has made improvements to the park to include an additional 60 units as originally planned when the park was platted with the county. Assuming an additional 60 units are added to the Brush Creek Collection lines, The City of Pacific can expect the following hydraulic loading per the Missouri Department of Natural Resources “Wastewater Guidelines and Standards Document” dated February 2019. From Table 1-1 Minimum Design Loadings the hydraulic Capacity per capita can be assumed at 100 gallons per day per capita, and the Organic Loading should be calculated at 0.22 pounds of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) per day per capita. Table 1-2 Minimum Population Equivalent provides a conservative capita per unit loading rate of 3.7 capita per unit. Using this information and assuming 60 units, the assumed additional persons for Circle C MHP would be 60 units x 3.7 capital / unit = 222 capita. Then multiplying the calculated persons by the 100 gallons per capita per day loading rate yields an average daily flow rate of 22,200 gallons per day of average flow. Using equation 1-1 for the peak hourly flow rate and the population equivalent of 222 persons yields an hourly peaking factor of 4.2. This implies your facility can Scheer Design Group, LLC 8584 Hwy YY New Haven, Missouri 63068 Phone (573) 459-2611 CA 2008020993 expect to see a peak hourly flow rate of 93,240 gallons per day or 65 gallons per minute from the 60 trailer units, again this is a peak hourly flow rate. The calculated additional biological loading from the 60 units can be assumed to be 48.8 pounds of BOD5 per day. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office at your convenience. Sincerely Kirby Scheer, P.E.
