| Description |
A groundwater quality assessment was conducted to determine the source(s) of nitrates and other contaminants in groundwater in an area near Smith Prairie Road and 161st Way SE about eight miles southwest of Yelm, Washington. In particular, since 1995 the discharge of one private water-supply well showed elevated concentrations of nitrate+nitrite-N and intermittent green discoloration, fecal coliform bacteria, and particulate matter. A groundwater monitoring network, consisting of four monitoring wells and three private water-supply wells, was established and sampled monthly from September 1999 to May 2000. The hydrogeology and groundwater-flow patterns were characterized. |
