n <br /> The US EPA recommended MCL for nitrate in drinking water is 10 mg/L-N. 'in a worst <br /> case situation, the maximum buildup of nitrates from the use of septic systems in the <br /> aquifer is predicted to be 2.84 mg/L-N. The result of the nitrate loading estimate is well <br /> below the maximum drinking water standard. <br /> -Discussion of Nitrate Loading Results <br /> Total Nitrate Impact <br /> Based on the method and assumptions described, the result of the nitrate loading <br /> estimate indicates that the existing and proposed residences and proposed <br /> development on the Site should not cause a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 <br /> mg/L-N. Because of the satisfactory result, no mitigation measures are warranted. <br /> I <br /> LOGE0915 Page 13 <br /> i' <br />
