F1 n <br /> November 30,2007 <br /> NOA Project Number: E07188A <br /> F! 2.2 Potential Ground Water Contamination Issues <br /> A discussion of issues related to potential ground water contamination is included in Section 4.2 of <br /> the SSS. <br /> 2.3 Current and Future On-Site Ground Water Uses <br /> F1 <br /> There are currently two wells on the site, as noted in Section 4.3 of the SSS. Ground water will be <br /># used on the site in the future. <br /> 0 <br /> 3.0 SOURCES AND IMPACT OF NITRATE TO GROUND WATER <br /> 3.1 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 /> 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 /> F, 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 /> r <br /> 3.3 Current On-Site Sources of Nitrate <br /> } ` <br /> + There are no current on-site sources of nitrate except for natural processes. <br /> 9 <br /> { <br /> 4 <br /> F1 <br /> r <br />
