Summary

Geochemical data were obtained to investigate the fate and transport of nitrogen in a subterranean estuary near East Falmouth, Massachusetts. The goal of this investigation was to assess nitrogen attenuation in the aquifer under the Eel River estuary and the adjacent peninsula, introduced as inorganic nitrogen that was densely populated with residences havingfrom residential septic systems and legacy cesspool inputs of inorganic nitrogens. Groundwater-quality data were collected from three transects from a total of twenty-seven locations that were sampled between November 2015 and October 2016. Samples were analyzed for pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, specific conductance, nitrate + nitrite, ammonium, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, [...]

Purpose

Hydrogeologic and geochemical data were obtained to investigate the fate and transport of nitrogen in a subterranean estuary near East Falmouth, Massachusetts. The goal of this investigation was to assess nitrogen attenuation, introduced into the aquifer as inorganic nitrogen from residential septic systems and cesspools.
