Well B:<br />

A - C =<br />

A - B<br />

22 ug/L - 6 ug/L 16 ug/L<br />

= = 0.804020<br />

22 ug/L - 2.1 ug/L 19.9 ug/L<br />

Well A:<br />

4,100 gpm 0.20 = 820 gpm<br />

Well B:<br />

4,100 gpm 0.80 = 3,280 gpm<br />

3. A well with a PCE level of 12.4 ug/L is supplying approximately 65% of total water<br />

demand. It is being blended with a well that has a PCE level of 1.5 ug/L. Will this blended<br />

supply meet the MCL for PCE of 7.0 ug/L?<br />

Well A: 12.4 ug/L Well B: 1.5 ug/L Desired result: ? ug/L<br />

Well A:<br />

? ug/L - 1.5 ug/L<br />

= 0.65<br />

12.4 ug/L - 1.5 ug/L<br />

? ug/L - 1.5 ug/L = 0.65<br />

10.9 ug/L<br />

? ug/L - 1.5 ug/L = (0.65)(10.9 ug/L)<br />

? ug/L = 7.085 ug/L + 1.5 ug/L = 8.585 ug/L = 8.6 ug/L NO!<br />

4. Well A has a total dissolved solids (TDS) level of 625 mg/L. It is pumping 2,300 gpm,<br />

which is 50% of the total production from two wells. The other well (B) blends with well<br />

A to achieve a TDS level of 450 mg/L. What is the TDS level for Well B?<br />

Well B<br />

Well A – 625 mg/L Well B – ? mg/L Desired result – 450 mg/L<br />

A - C =<br />

A - B<br />

625 mg/L - 450 mg/L 175 mg/L<br />

= = 0.50<br />

625 mg/L - ? mg/L 625 mg/L - ? mg/L<br />

175 mg/L= 0.50(625 mg/L - ? mg/L)<br />

175 mg/L = 312.5 mg/L - (0.50)(? mg/L)<br />

175 mg/L - 312.5 mg/L = - (0.50)(? mg/L)<br />
