“…In general, results of the Irondequoit Creek atmospheric-monitoring program are comparable to those obtained by Peters and Bonelli (1982), Betson (1978), Troutman and Peters (1982), and Pearson and Fisher (1971). Thus, atmospheric deposition contributes a substantital percentage of the chemical load of Irondequoit Creek except for chloride.…”

“…11B). Groundwater from the siliciclastic-rock aquifers and crystalline-rock aquifers had median concentrations of chloride of 15.9 and 5.9 mg/L, respectively, which are significantly greater than background levels in atmospheric precipitation (Peters and Bonelli, 1982). Concentrations of chloride that are greater than background concentrations may be associated with agricultural applications of "potash" or potassium chloride (KCl) and manure and discharges of sewage effluent, although highest concentrations are associated with the application of road deicing salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) in urban areas of the northern part of the region (Denver and others, 2010).…”

“…The siliciclastic and crystalline lithologies had median concentrations of nitrate of 2.37 and 0.78 mg/L as N, respectively. Natural levels of nitrate in groundwater from rainfall and plant and animal sources generally are less than 1 mg/L as N in the eastern United States (Peters and Bonelli, 1982;Puckett, 1994;Holloway and others, 1998). Concentrations of nitrate that are greater than background concentrations are most commonly associated with agricultural and turf (lawns, golf courses) fertilizers and also with discharges from septic systems or sewage treatment plants (Denver and others, 2010).…”

ForewordThe U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is committed to providing the Nation with reliable scientific information that helps to enhance and protect the overall quality of life and that facilitates effective management of water, biological, energy, and mineral resources (http://www.usgs. gov/). Information on the Nation's water resources is critical to ensuring long-term availability of water that is safe for drinking and recreation and is suitable for industry, irrigation, and fish and wildlife. Population growth and increasing demands for water make the availability of that water, measured in terms of quantity and quality, even more essential to the long-term sustainability of our communities and ecosystems.The USGS implemented the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program in 1991 to support national, regional, State, and local information needs and decisions related to water-quality management and policy (http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa). The NAWQA Program is designed to answer: What is the quality of our Nation's streams and groundwater? How are conditions changing over time? How do natural features and human activities affect the quality of streams and groundwater, and where are those effects most pronounced? By combining information on water chemistry, physical characteristics, stream habitat, and aquatic life, the NAWQA Program aims to provide science-based insights for current and emerging water issues and priorities. From 1991 to 2001, the NAWQA Program completed interdisciplinary assessments and established a baseline understanding of water-quality conditions in 51 of the Nation's river basins and aquifers, referred to as Study Units (http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/ studies/study_units.html).In the second decade of the Program (2001-12), a major focus is on regional assessments of water-quality conditions and trends. These regional assessments are based on major river basins and principal aquifers, which encompass larger regions of the country than the Study Units. Regional assessments extend the findings in the Study Units by filling critical gaps in characterizing the quality of surface water and groundwater, and by determining water-quality status and trends at sites that have been consistently monitored for more than a decade. In addition, the regional assessments continue to build an understandin...

“…Precipitation in Maryland has a pH of about 4.0 (Munger and Eisenreich, 1983). Studies of precipitation in parts of western Maryland during 1980 and 1981 indicated pH values in the range of 4.0 to 5.0 (Peters and Bonelli, 1982;Scott and others, 1982); during the same period, pH values as low as 3.8 were measured during a study in Baltimore (S. R. Martin, Director, Baltimore Regional Planning Council, oral commun., 1983). During 1982, the pH of precipitation in central Maryland was about 4 (Katz and Bricker, 1983).…”
