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 3.8 mg/L-N. The result of the nitrate loading <br />estimate is well below the maximum drinking water standard. <br />Discussion of Nitrate Loadina 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 over 10 mg/L-N. Because of the favorable result of the <br />nitrate loading calculation, no nitrate mitigation is recommended at this time. <br />LOGE 2201 Page 13 <br />
