Non-Point Nitrate Contamination
Nitrate derived from fertilized fields is called a “non-point” source contaminant because it covers large surface areas on the aquifer.

Nitrate Leaching
Rainfall (or irrigation water) percolating into the soil transports nitrate in the soil to the surface of the aquifer (water table).

Why is nitrate in drinking water a problem?
Nitrate can affect red blood cells and reduce their ability to carry oxygen to the body. In most adults and children these affected blood cells rapidly return back to normal.
However the blood cells of infants can take much longer to return to normal. As a result, infants who are given water with high levels of nitrate (or foods made with nitrate contaminated water) may develop a serious health condition due to the lack of oxygen. This condition is called methemoglobinemia or “blue baby syndrome.”

How is nitrate in drinking water regulated?
• The U.S. EPA has established a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for nitrate.
• Public water systems are required to sample for nitrate on a regular basis.
• There is no required sampling of private individual wells.

Elevated nitrate concentrations in the aquifer are due to agricultural practices on both sides of the border.
The concentrations can exceed the US-EPA maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg-N/L.
Well water with nitrate greater than 10 mg-N/L is not safe to drink.

International Mitigation Strategy
In 1992 the Abbotsford-Sumas International Task Force was formed to coordinate groundwater protection efforts in the aquifer.
Members represent government agencies, tribes, cities and counties on both side of the border. Their goals are to
Collect and Coordination Scientific Data
Manage Activities Threatening the Aquifer
Assist with Legislation and Policy Advice
