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 has the <br /> potential to cause a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 mg/L-N. <br /> For greater protection of the ground water, it is recommended that only shallow septic <br /> systems utilizing leach lines or filter beds be installed rather than deeper sumps. <br /> Recent San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department policy has been to <br /> evaluate each project on a case-by-case basis to determine whether additional <br /> measures to mitigate nitrate should be employed. <br /> LOGE 1938 Page 16 <br />
