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 in the aquifer from the use of septic <br />systems on the Site is predicted to be 4.7 mg/L-N. The result of the nitrate loading <br />estimate is well 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 development on the Site should not <br />cause a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 mg/L-N. Because of the satisfactory <br />result, no nitrate mitigation measures are recommended. <br />LOGE 1929 Page 11
