Are the fish in danger (show why or why not)?

A soft drink bottling plant discharges a wastewater with a dissolved solids concentration of 10,000 mg/l NaCl, at a rate of 100 gal/min to a stream. The stream above the discharge has a volumetric flowrate of 1.0 MGD and a dissolved solids concentration of 25 mg/l. Below the discharge point is a prime fishing spot, and the fish are intolerant of salt concentrations above 200 ppm.

What will be an ideal response?


1,280 ppm of NaCl ? 200 ppm, so the fish are in danger.
