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 6.19 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 proposed development on the Site should not cause a <br /> buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 mg/L-N based on the method assumptions. <br /> Because of the satisfactory result, no mitigation measures are warranted. <br /> LOGE0914 Page 12 <br />
