Problem
A facility operates a surface impoundment for oil field produced water that contains benzene. The permitted annual emission is 6000 kg. The facility operator makes sure that the impoundment is operated only during those atmospheric conditions of instability when there is maximum mixing and dispersal of benzene. Estimate the mean aqueous concentration of benzene allowed in the impoundment. The area of the impoundment is 104 m2.
