E07015A <br /> L2.2 Potential Ground Water Contamination Issues <br /> A discussion of issues related to potential ground water contamination is included in Section 4.2 of <br /> L the SSS. <br /> 2.3 Current and Future On-Site Ground Water Uses <br /> There are currently no wells on the site,as noted in Section 4.3 of the SSS. Ground water will be <br /> developed and used on the site in the future. <br /> 6. <br /> 3.0 SOURCES AND IMPACT OF NITRATE TO GROUND WATER <br /> L3.1 Current Off-Site Sources of Nitrate <br /> Septic systems, agriculture,and dairies in the area may be the most significant sources of nitrate in <br /> L ground water. Septic tank use in the vicinity is discussed in Section 3.4 of the SSS. <br /> 3.2 Contribution of Rainfall <br /> An estimate of the quantity and quality of rainfall was required for the nitrate loading analysis. The <br /> estimate of deep percolation of rain is based on the average monthly precipitation of rain fall and <br /> evapotranspiration for South Stockton,California. The estimate first determines whether the <br /> average monthly precipitation exceeds average monthly potential evapotranspiration. If so, then the <br /> difference is potential deep percolation. This method does not consider runoff. See Plate 9 for the <br /> data and calculation. <br /> Average potential evapotranspiration was obtained from the California Irrigation Management <br /> r Information System (CIMIS). Stockton is located within evapotranspiration zone number 12. <br /> Average rainfall was obtained from the Western Regional Climate Center (Station 048558). <br /> Based on this method, the average deep percolation of rain for the South Stockton area is estimated <br /> to be 3.3 inches. The nitrate concentration of rain fall was estimated to be 1 mg/L-N (Hantzsche <br /> and Finnemore, 1992). <br /> L <br /> 3.3 Current On-Site Sources of Nitrate <br /> 6' There are no current on-site sources of nitrate except for natural processes. <br /> r. <br /> 4 <br />
