5 Purpose: To recognize organizations in North America who have developed and are implementing exemplary source water protection programs. Frequency : Yearly, up to three awards, with the intent to distribute to organizations representing different water system size classifications based on the population served. Eligibility: Any organization or drinking water system that performs source water protection for drinking water supplies in North America is eligible to apply for the award. Selection Criteria: based on the criteria set forth in the AWWA Standard G300.

13 Shallow - 30+ppm Deep - 30+ppm Shallow ppm Deep - ND Shallow - ND Deep - ND Shallow - 6.5ppm Deep - 4.3ppm

14 The close proximity of two feed lots may also be contributing to the nitrate levels. Potential source area for the nitrates found in Municipal Well No.8 appears to be from application of commercial fertilizer and manure in a sensitive area. Potential migration pathway without well No.8 8 Because of Municipal Well No.8s unique position and pumping rate most of the nitrate contamination is captured.
