The US EPA recommended MCL for nitrate in drinking water is 10 mg/LX./ In a worst- <br /> case situation, the maximum buildup of nitrates in the aquifer_kor4 the use of septic <br /> systems is predicted to be 5.05 mg/L-N (standard method) to 7.07 mg/L-N (including <br /> existing nitrate levels). The result of the nitrate loading estimate is below the maximum <br /> drinking water standard. <br /> 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 residence and proposed development on the Site <br /> should not cause a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer above 10 mg/L-N. It should be <br /> noted that the surrounding aquifer may already contain nitrate above this level, as <br /> indicated by the results of the test on the domestic well. <br /> LOGE 1124 Page 14 <br />
