Table 7. Result of Nitrate Loading Calculation <br /> Variable Value Units Description <br /> Long-term average concentration of percolating <br /> Nc 8.08 mg/L-N effluent <br /> The US EPA recommended MCL for nitrate in drinking water is 10 mg/L-N. In a worst- <br /> case situation, the maxiTUm--15did nitrates from the use of septic systems in the <br /> aquifer is predicted to " 8.08 mg/L- . The result of the nitrate loading estimate is <br /> below the maximum drinking wate-r standard. <br /> Discussion of Nitrate Loadinq 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 residences and proposed development on the Site <br /> should not cause a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 mg/L-N. Because of the <br /> satisfactory result, no mitigation measures are warranted. <br /> LOGE 1325 Page 14 <br />
