a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer slightly over the MCL of 10 mg/L-N. This scenario <br />assumes a standard septic system without treatment. <br />We understand that the existing advanced treatment system was designed to mitigate <br />nitrate and that nitrate monitoring is performed and reported quarterly to the California <br />Regional Water Quality Control Board. Results from 2020 through 2022 suggest that <br />the treatment system is extremely effective at removing nitrate from the effluent, often <br />reducing it to a level below the detection limit. As a result, actual nitrate loading <br />experienced on the Site should fall well below the predicted value as long as the <br />advanced treatment system is operating according to design and consistent with the <br />reported results. <br />LOGE 2218 Page 14 <br />
