PUBLIC 4EALTH SERACES <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br /> Ernest M. Fujimoto, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Health O(ficer <br /> 445 N. San Joaquin Street • P.Q. Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br /> (209) 468-3420 <br /> February 27, 1995 <br /> Mr. Neil O. Anderson <br /> Neil O. Anderson & Associates Inc. <br /> 22 North Houston Lane <br /> Lodi, CA 95240 <br /> Re: 30705 East State Route Highway 120, Fscalon (MS-94-39) <br /> A soil suitability study was submitted by Neil Anderson & Associates, Inc. in which a test for <br /> Nitrate was tested for and showed results of 50 ppm (parts per million) in your well . <br /> The State Department of Health Services adopted a standard of 45 parts per million (ppm) for <br /> nitrates in public drinking water systems however, private well owners are not legally required <br /> to meet this standard. As a precaution for yourself and family, we would suggest that you have <br /> your domestic well retested to verify the above sample results. <br /> If your private and/or agricultural well analysis for nitrate emceded the State standard of 45 ppm <br /> again, the following alternatives are being provided for your guidance: <br /> 1. As a temporary measure, it is recommended that bottled drinlong water to be <br /> used if this well is supplying drinking water.. <br /> 2. In cases where mgmmm may continue indefinitely, such as with contaminated <br /> private wells, installation of a water treatment device, such as a filter, maybe <br /> advisable. However, using bottled water or installing a water treatment device <br /> at the latches water tap, will not stop exposure to if it is in your private water <br /> supply. Most treatment units sold for home installation only UW water at the <br /> uoint of use, such as the kitchen faucet. As a resit, voint of entry filters, which <br /> treat water for the entire house, are recommended because they remove all <br /> potential sources of exposure. The "Reverse Osmosis Purification Filter" is the <br /> recommended water treatment device in this case. It operates by passing the well <br /> water through a series of filters and reverse osmosis membranes thereby removing <br /> the nitrate contaminant. water went equipment suppliers and installers are <br /> listed in your phone directory yellow pages under "Water Filtration & <br /> Purification Equipment." <br /> A[liwWan of Sun Jmquin 0MRIy HeaNh tyre Servwe% <br /> 6.i+aiiAe� —. <br />
