Description Ground water quality was surveyed over a three-square mile area encompassing a large new dairy in Whatcom County. The survey consisted of periodic sampling and water-level monitoring of 21 domestic and irrigation wells located within a one mile radius(far-field) of the 900-head dairy. This survey was conducted in conjunction with a near-field, three-year ground water study which focused on ground water quality impacts of the waste storage lagoon at the new dairy. The lagoon is situated over a shallow, unconfined, outwash aquifer. The purpose of this far-field water quality survey was to 1) define far-field ground water flow conditions in the vicinity surrounding the dairy and lagoon, and, 2) identify changes in ground water quality in local wells potentially affected by dairy lagoon leakage.
