o What are the minimum and maximum flow rates (expressed as MGD) that can be treated by this sedimentation basin, if the overflow rate is to stay between 500 and

800 gpd/ft?? 1. Consider a circular sedimentation basin with a depth of 10 ft, an inner radius of 3 ft, and an outer radius of 25 ft. o Calculate the weir loading rate for the maximum flow condition (the one that corresponds with an overflow rate of 800 gpd/ft. o Will the detention time stay above 4 hours at these flow rates?
