Description Eleven wells near Chehalis, Washington, were sampled in March 1993 for 123 pesticides and nitrate+nitrite as nitrogen. Field measurements of water temperature, pH, and specific conductance were also made. Four pesticides were detected in the initial samples; atrazine, simazine, diuron, and dichlobenil. One or more of these chemicals were detected in three wells, however concentrations were below health related levels set by the EPA.
