(3) Site Background Value represents the 95 percent Upper Tolerance Limit for nitrate+nitrite reported at upgradient wells A-6 and A-8.(4) Site Background Value represents the 95 percent Upper Tolerance Limit for nitrate+nitrite reported at NGSW and Gossard Well using Pre-1994 data.(5) Non-detect sample results were assigned one-half of the reporting limit.Nitrate+Nitrite (as N) ConcentrationPage 1 of 1
