1BOD is Ultimate Biochemical Oxygen Demand. Its concentration is derived by the following: BOD5/0.80+ 4.5(TKN)=(UBOD). NOTE: The amount of TKN utilized depends on the location in the basin.

2Projected for 1977 based on population projections.

3Recommended allocation based on BPCTCA effluent guidelines applied to raw wasteloads at 2020.

4Minimum removal efficiency.
