| Abstract | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed its five-year National Survey of Pesticides in Drinking Water Wells (NPS). A joint project of EPA's Office of Drinking Water (ODW) and Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), the Survey was designed to assess the extent and severity of the presence of pesticides and nitrate in drinking water wells nationwide, and the relationship of pesticide use and ground-water vulnerability to the presence of pesticides and nitrate. This glossary defines terms relating to the Survey design, implementation, and results. The definitions apply specifically to the Survey and may have additional meanings when used in other circumstances. |
