 Abstract: The accuracy of time-composite sampling as a means to
 calculate phosphorus loads from agricultural runoff was evaluated
 analytically and numerically. It was shown that, when hydrographs
 and concentration graphs were positively correlated, computations
 using a time-composite sampling strategy resulted in load
 underestimation. Combinations of 11 synthetically generated and
 12 actual hydrographs and concentration graphs of agricultural
 runoff events were used for numerical analysis. The bias in load
 calculation with different sampling frequencies was determined.
 The influence of cross-correlation of hydrographs and
 concentration graphs on the direction and magnitude of bias was
 demonstrated. Although flow-composite sampling is theoretically
 correct for load computation, it is more expensive and, like
 other approaches, still involves uncertainties in both flow and
 concentration measurements. The dependence of the coefficient of
 variation (CV) of load on CV of flow rate, CV of concentration,
 and the cross-correlation between flow rate and concentration is
 presented analytically and graphically. To achieve load estimates
 comparable to the accuracy of flow-composite sampling, multiple
 time-composite sampling methods were investigated. This analysis
 indicates that with eight concentration values from eight
 time-composite samples of a runoff event, a reliable load
 estimation can usually be made.

 Abstract: The sample collection system may influence the ability
 to describe the complex temporal and spatial variation of
 contaminants within an aquifer. The objective of this study was
 to evaluate the probability of detecting atrazine
 (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine) using a
 bailer or skimmer in an unconfined aquifer located below an
 atrazine-treated surface soil. In the simulated aquifer, the
 surface skimmer collected more Br(-) than the fixed sampling port
 located 15 cm below the aquifer surface and bailer. In the
 unconfined aquifer, the probability of an atrazine detection was
 higher when samples were collected with a surface skimmer than a
 bailer. These results suggest that the ability to determine
 vertical transport of contaminants from surface soil to shallow
 aquifers at the point of agrichemical application is dependent on
 surface sampling of the aquifer.

 Abstract: Sulfonylureas are extracted from water samples using
 solid-phase extraction (SPE) with C18-silica/ Teflon disks. Soil
 samples are extracted with 0.1 M sodium hydrogen carbonate, and
 the acidified extracts are processed as for water samples. The
 concentrated eluents are treated with diazomethane in ethyl
 acetate, which forms the thermally stable N,N'-dimethyl
 derivatives of the herbicides. Residues are screened by capillary
 GC using effluent splitting to electron capture and
 nitrogen-phosphorus detectors. Residues are confirmed by GC-MS
 using selected ion monitoring. Detection limits were below 0.1
 microgram/L for water and below 1 microgram/kg for soil samples.
 Accuracy and precision at 0.5 and 0.1 micrograms/L each were,
 respectively, for chlorsulfuron 95+/- 2% and 110 +/- 16% and for
 metsulfuron-methyl 90 +/- 6% and 98 +/- 11%. At 5 and 1
 microgram/kg each in soil the recoveries were, respectively, for
 chlorsulfuron 78 +/- 20% and 69 +/- 6% and for metsulfuron-methyl
 92 +/- 18% and 105 +/- 17%. The methods are superior to previous
 methods for these herbicides based on GC because the intact
 herbicides are determined rather than thermal degradation
 products.

 Abstract: Extensive use of dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic
 acid) and picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) in
 arid Wyoming, along with large volumes of irrigation water used
 in some areas, has created a concern for the potential
 contamination of surface and groundwaters by these herbicides.
 Persistence and mobility of dicamba and picloram were
 investigated in a Wyoming rangeland soil using batch adsorption
 and soil column studies. The objectives of this study were to
 characterize soil chemical and physical properties that affect
 herbicide transport, examine herbicide sorption, model herbicide
 movement, and estimate degradation rate constants. Essentially no
 sorption of dicamba was detected; however, picloram sorption was
 greatest in the highest organic C content horizon. Both saturated
 (5.90, 2.96, and 0.82 kg ha-1 dicamba and 1.85, 0.97, and 0.47 kg
 ha-1 picloram) and unsaturated (2.76 and 1.00 kg ha-1 for dicamba
 and picloram, respectively) column experiments were conducted.
 The herbicides and Br tracer (34, 38, 69, and 137 micrograms L-1)
 were displaced through the soil columns using distilled water
 that was added in daily increments (60 mL d-1). Degradation rate
 constants were calculated using both simple recovery fraction
 technique and by matching LEACHP-generated breakthrough curves to
 experimental data. For the two columns receiving intermediate
 application rates, anaerobic picloram dissipation was more rapid
 (t1/2 = 19 d) than for aerobic conditions (t1/2 = 87 d). The rate
 of dissipation of dicamba was approximately the same under
 aerobic and anaerobic conditions (t1/2 = 15 and 17 d in the
 saturated and unsaturated columns, respectively). Picloram and
 dicamba dissipation was more rapid at. application rates, t1/2 of
 23 and 17 d were measured for picloram and dicamba, respectively.
 Both herbicides were found to be highly mobile, with the mobility
 of picloram increasing at higher pore-water velocities.

 Abstract: Pesticides and fertilizers, as used in modern
 agriculture, contribute to the overall low-level contamination of
 groundwater sources. In order to determine the potential of
 pesticide and fertilizer mixtures to produce reproductive or
 developmental toxicity at concentrations up to 100x the median
 level found in groundwater, we prepared and studied two mixtures
 of pesticides and a fertilizer (ammonium nitrate). One mixture
 containing aldicarb, atrazine, dibromochloropropane,
 1,2-dichloropropane, ethylene dibromide, and simazine plus
 ammonium nitrate was considered to be a representative of
 groundwater contamination in California (CAL). The other,
 containing alachlor, atrazine, cyanazine, metolachlor,
 metribuzin, and ammonium nitrate, simulated groundwater
 contamination in Iowa (IOWA). Each mixture was administered in
 the drinking water of either Swiss CD-1 mice during a
 Reproductive Assessment by Continuous Breeding study or pregnant
 Sprague-Dawley rats (gd 6-20) at three dose levels (1x, 10x, and
 100x) where 1x was the median concentration of each pesticide
 component as determined in the groundwater surveys in California
 or Iowa. Unlike conventional toxicology studies, the purpose of
 this study was to evaluate the health effects of realistic human
 concentrations. Thus, the testing concentrations are probably
 well below the maximally tolerated dose. Propylene glycol was
 used as the solubilizer for the pesticides in drinking water
 formulations in both studies. In the reproductive study, neither
 mixture caused any clinical signs of toxicity, changes in food or
 water consumption, or body weight in either F0 or F1 mice at
 doses up to 100x the median groundwater concentrations. There
 were no. performance of either the F0 or the F1 generation mice
 exposed to either CAL or IOWA at up to 100x. Similarly, measures
 of spermatogenesis, epididymal sperm concentration, percentage
 motile sperm, percentage abnormal sperm, and testicular and
 epididymal histology were normal. In the developmental study,
 CAL- or IOWA-exposed female did not exhibit any significant
 treatment-related clinical signs of toxicity. No adverse effects
 of CAL or IOWA were observed for measures of embryo/fetal
 toxicity, including resorptions per litter, live litter size, or
 fetal body weight. CAL or IOWA did not cause an increased
 incidence of fetal malformations or variations. In summary,
 administration of these pesticide/fertilizer mixtures at levels
 up to 100-fold greater than the median concentrations in
 groundwater supplies in California or Iowa did not cause any
 detectable reproductive (mice), general, or developmental
 toxicity (rats).

 Abstract: In the United States, millions of dollars are currently
 spent to monitor water quality for a whole suite of organic
 compounds. However, results of several surveys conducted in the
 past decade indicate that only a few pesticides occur in a small
 proportion of wells. Screening methods based on historical
 evidence of contamination patterns and knowledge of the locales
 will have significant potential to reduce these costs and
 effectively identify contamination problems. In this paper, the
 economics of utilizing two screening methods, sequential analysis
 and sample compositing, in the design of monitoring strategies is
 captured in the form of mathematical models and illustrated for a
 state-level monitoring program. When the two methods are adopted,
 the total analytical cost to conclusively identify contaminated
 wells in a network of 4,000 wells is shown to range from $12,500
 to $1,575,000 depending on the extent of contamination. In
 contrast, the total analytical cost of a conventional program
 where all the wells in the network are sampled and tested for a
 standard suite of pesticides at a cost of $250/sample is one
 million dollars. Given such wide range in costs, it is prudent to
 incorporate the screening concepts presented in this paper in the
 development of cost-effective monitoring programs.

 Abstract: Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs)
 were devised for the environmental monitoring of the herbicide
 bromacil. The polyclonal antibodies used in this work were raised
 against two haptens. The bromacil molecule was derivatized at the
 N-1- and 6-methyl-positions to obtain these haptens with
 carboxyalkyl [(CH2)nCO2H] spacer arms. The antibodies have been
 examined in several immunoassay formats. Two additional haptens
 were also synthesized and used for the preparation of coating
 antigens and enzyme tracers. Some of the heterologous indirect
 ELISAs in a coating antigen format showed promising sensitivities
 and, with only a few exceptions, slight cross-reactivities with a
 series of bromacil metabolites and related compounds. The best
 sensitivity (IC50 = 0.25 ppb) and specificity were achieved with
 a system using antibodies derived from the hapten bearing the
 handle at the 6-methyl group (n = 1) and coating antigen
 synthesized from hapten with the bridging group at the
 N-1-position (n = 5). Further investigations were performed with
 this ELISA. Changing the pH value in the range 5-8.5 did not
 influence the sensitivity of the optimized assay. Human urine,
 however, exercised a strong effect on sensitivity, which varied
 from sample to sample. Organic solvents also affected assay
 sensitivity; nevertheless, IC50s remained below 11 ppb with
 solvent concentrations up to 12.5%. Water samples spiked with
 bromacil were analyzed by ELISA. The results showed excellent
 correlation to spiked amounts at levels of 0.1-160 ppb. Soil
 samples fortified with bromacil were extracted with 1% aqueous
 NaOH, and then the obtained solutions were simply diluted with
 the assay buffer and analyzed by ELISA. Recoveries in the
 concentration range. formats did not perform better than the
 heterologous coating antigen assays. However, use of this format
 in homologous assays dramatically improved the sensitivity from
 poor inhibition to IC50s of 3-10 ppb.

 Abstract: Recent federal legislation strengthened nonpoint source
 pollution regulations and helped to support and standardize
 pollution control efforts. A comprehensive review of current
 state and federal programs for forest areas reveals a substantial
 increase in agency water quality protection activities. These new
 efforts emphasize monitoring to assess the use and effectiveness
 of best management practices (BMPs). Recent monitoring reveals
 that BMP use is increasing and that such use typically maintains
 water quality within standards. However, information is generally
 lacking about the cost effectiveness of BMP programs. Carefully
 designed and executed monitoring is the key to better
 specification of BMPs and more cost effective water quality
 protection.

 Abstract: Following a rail accident that spilled the soil
 fumigant VAPAM into the Sacramento River on 14 July 1991, a
 special study was carried out to assess the extent of
 contamination in Lake Shasta.  A total of 32 river water samples
 collected on 18 July and another 316 samples collected from 22
 July through 30 August were analyzed.  Data obtained clearly
 showed the presence of the degradation products of Metham,
 namely, methyl isothiocyanate, carbonyl sulfide, methyl sulfide,
 and traces of methylamine.  However, due to the emergency nature
 of the incident that required quick analytical turnaround times,
 as well as the unavailability of a satisfactory analytical
 method, the presence of Metham could not be demonstrated with
 certainty initially. Nonetheless, the laboratory's timely
 response to the crisis assisted public health officials in
 assessing the extent of the contamination and assuring the
 community-at-large that their drinking water was safe to consume. 
 None of the degradation products analyzed were detected 1 wk
 after the spill.

 Abstract: Between October 1992 and February 1993, a total of 359
 private wells in Northampton County were sampled and data on
 water-quality variables (temperature, pH, and conductivity), well
 construction, and site characteristics were collected. The
 groundwater samples were analyzed for aldicarb, alachlor,
 atrazine, carbofuran, linuron, methomyl, metolachlor, metribuzin,
 napropamide, pendimethalin, pronamide, simazine, and nitrate. The
 wells were stratified into shallow wells, withdrawing water from
 the unconfined aquifer, and deep wells, withdrawing water from
 the deeper confined aquifers. The study was undertaken as a pilot
 study to demonstrate the applicability of a recently developed
 framework for evaluating the extent of pesticide contamination in
 Virginia's groundwater. Pesticides were detected in 14% of the
 shallow wells and in 7% of the deep wells sampled. Pesticide
 detection was associated with the well depth, with a higher
 probability of detecting a pesticide in the shallow unconfined
 aquifer than in the deeper aquifers. Nitrate above the U.S. EPA
 drinking water standard of 10 mg/L was found in 17% of the
 shallow and 1% of the deep wells. Pesticide and nitrate
 detections were not significantly related to well and site
 characteristics, such as crop type, location of well head, and
 distance to the nearest water body.

 Abstract: Nonpoint source ground water contamination by nitrate
 nitrogen (NO3-N) leached from agricultural lands can be
 substantial and increase health risks to humans and animals.
 Accurate and rapid methods are needed to identify and map
 localities that have a high potential for contamination of
 shallow aquifers with NO3-N leached from agriculture. Evaluation
 Of Nitrate Leaching and Economic Analysis Package (NLEAP) indices
 and input variables across an irrigated agricultural area on an
 alluvial aquifer in Colorado indicated that all leaching indices
 tested were more strongly correlated with aquifer NO3-N
 concentration than with aquifer N mass. Of the indices and
 variables tested, the NO3-N Leached (NL) index was the NLEAP
 index most strongly associated with groundwater N03-N
 concentration (r2 values from 0.37 to 0.39). NO3-N concentration
 of the leachate was less well correlated with ground water NO3-N
 concentration (r2 values from 0.21 to 0.22). Stepwise regression
 analysis indicated that, although inorganic and organiclinorganic
 fertilizer scenarios had similar r2 values, the Feedlot Indicator
 (proximity) variable was significant over and above the NO3-N
 Leached index for the inorganic scenario. The analysis also
 showed that combination of either Movement Risk Index (MRI) or
 NO3-N concentration of the leachate with the N03-N Leached index
 leads to an improved regression, which provides insight into
 area-wide associations between agricultural activities and ground
 water NO3-N concentration.

 Abstract: Groundwater protection from NO3 pollution requires
 frequent measurements of potential water fluxesand NO(3)-N
 concentrations. This study was conducted to improve researchers'
 abilities in  managing these two parameters by using a new
 device. We developed a method allowing the researcherto
 simultaneously measure the hydraulic head and the NO(3)-N
 concentration in the soil watersolution. Measurements were
 made using the tensionic, in which a permeable porous ceramic cup 
  allows the diffusion of NO3 from the soil to the water inside
 the cup. Diffusion is completedwithin 8 d. A system of
 capillary tubes allows this water to be extracted for measurement
 of  NO(3)-N, and it may be reinjected subsequently. An aliquot
 can be used for isotopic analysis. Testscarried out on a maize
 crop (Zea mays L.) in 1991 led to two
