Ground-water indicators state pilot studies for Idaho, Minnesota, and New Jersey: Findings report
The Findings Report describes and presents general findings from the three ground-water indicator State pilot studies the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducted in Idaho, Minnesota, and New Jersey to investigate the use of indicators to track progress and trends in the ground-water protection effort. EPA evaluated the following five indicators in these studies: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) violations by public drinking water supplies; On-site and off-site contamination at hazardous waste sites; Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) concentrations in ground water (as an indicator of waste site and industrial site activity); Nitrate concentrations in ground water (as an indicator of area-wide sources of contamination); and Extent of pesticide use (as an indicator of area-wide pesticide contamination).
