Pollutant | Constituent | Treatment capabilities1 |
---|---|---|
Metals2 | Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Zinc, Iron, Nickel, Lead | Medium/High3 |
Nitrogen | Total nitrogen | Low/medium |
Total Kjeldahl nitrogen | Medium | |
Bacteria | Fecal coliform, e. coli | Medium |
Organics | Medium/High4 |
1 Low: < 30%; Medium: 30 to 65%; High: >65%
2 Results are for total metals only
3 Treatment capabilities for Cd and Cr are based on results of a single study by Kurz, 1998. This study shows low (9.3%) removal rates for Cr.
4 High if amended with clay or organic matter
