Details: | SUMMARY: Nitrate alert DETAILS: The Hood River County Health Dept. received an alert by fax on 12/27/06 for the Odell Water Company in response to a nitrate sample result which exceeded the action level of 0.5 MCL (5.49 mg/l). Sample ID A61205AH1, collected 12/5/2006, had a nitrate concentration of 9.00 mg/l. Phil Davis was contacted 12/28/06. Odell Water Company is recognized by the DHS DWP online database for maintaining nitrate samples reliably and consistently (R and C) below the MCL. Subsequently, the sampling schedule expectation is to comply with yearly nitrate sampling. Quarterly nitrate sampling is not expected or required for the system. ACTION NEEDED: The Hood River County Environmental Health Department has a meeting scheduled with the Odell Water Company for February 2007 to discuss the nitrate monitoring schedule. While the Odell Water Company is R and C below the MCL, the average nitrate value between May 2001 and Dec. 2006 is 7.12 mg/l (n equals 37). Odell Water Company is encouraged to continue to maintain nitrate concentrations R and C below the MCL. If nitrate values exceed the MCL (more than 10.49 mg/l) an adjustment to the chemical schedule will be assessed. |
