Table 4. Result of Nitrate Loading Calculation <br /> Variable Value Units Description <br /> Nc 3.4 mg/L-N Long-term average concentration of percolating effluent <br /> The US EPA recommended MCL for nitrate in drinking water is 10 mg/L-N. In a worst- <br /> case situation, the maximum buildup of nitrates in the aquifer from the use of septic <br /> systems on the Site is predicted to be 3.4 mg/L-N, well below the maximum drinking <br /> 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 proposed development on the Site has the potential to cause <br /> a buildup of nitrates in the aquifer up to 3.4 mg/L-N, well below the maximum drinking <br /> water standard. <br /> LOGE 20-15 Page 13 <br />
