Nitrate Loadina Estimate <br />A nitrate loading scenario was employed for each proposed parcel to determine the <br />impact from the existing or potential future homes to ground water. The scenarios <br />utilize the variables discussed previously, which represent the estimated conditions and <br />uses associated with this project. <br />The following table presents a summary of the assumptions for the nitrate loading <br />calculation for Parcel 1 of the Site, as presented in Plate 18: <br />Table 4.
