Assessment Comments

Basis for Assessment

Used results of sampling for 8 common agricultural herbicides and two metabolites at two locations (inlet and dam) on January 11, 1995, to assess support of the Class C (drinking water) uses as FST due to (1) detection of only one herbicide (atrazine) in water or sediment, (2) relatively low levels of atrazine at dam and inlet (0.25 and 0.18 ug/l) compared to average reportable concentration for the 19 water supply reservoirs in this study (=0.84 ug/l), and (3) the MCL for atrazine was not exceeded.
