| Abstract | Long Description |
The Moxee Valley lies adjacent to the city of Yakima, in south-central Washington and has experienced considerable population growth in recent years. Much of this growth occurred in the unincorporated portions of the valley where residents rely on individual wells and on-site septic systems to meet their potable and wastewater disposal needs. The last published evaluation of area groundwater quality was conducted by Larson (1993), who sampled 11 Moxee Valley wells during a pesticide screening survey. At that time, groundwater nitrate+nitrite (N) concentrations within the central and lower Moxee Valley averaged approximately 3.61 mg/L. This study will build on Larson's work by providing an up-to-date assessment of ambient groundwater nutrient and bacteria concentrations within the unincorporated portions of the Moxee Valley. |
