Res., Water Resources Re search Init., School of Nat. Resou DESCRIPTION:Stephen R. Hutchins, Ph.D., Research Environmental Scientist; USEPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Ground Water & Ecosys tems Restoration Division, Robert S. Kerr Environmental Resarch Center; 9 19 Kerr Research Drive, Ada, OK.\nAn overview of several projects will be presented on a research program currently underway at ORD’s Ground Wat er and Ecosystems Restoration Division (GWERD) to evaluate CAFO impacts o n ground water quality. The overall research objectives are to characteri ze the potential for ground water impact from a variety of stressors asso ciated with different types of CAFOs, to develop tools to determine sourc es and specific mechanisms of impact, and to then collectively use these data to develop effective risk management strategies for protection of gr ound and surface water quality. Initial specific research objectives were to evaluate selected swine CAFO operations to understand which stressors pose the greatest risk for transport into ground water under site operat ing conditions. Much of the work initially focused on the field site at C anton, Oklahoma, which demonstrated that land application of liquid swine waste led to ground water contamination by nitrate. Stable nitrogen isot ope data were found to be useful in helping to identify the source. Other stressors, such as estrogen hormones (which are endocrine-disrupting che micals) and antibiotics, were not detected in ground water at that site. However, estrogens, as well as nitrate and ammonia, were found in ground water at another site which had been directly impacted by a leaking lagoo n. Based on these studies, secondary research objectives have been identi fied and research is in progress to 1) expand the current efforts to incl ude other types of CAFOs, 2) further develop analytical tools for detecti on of estrogen conjugates, 3) expand the use of stable isotope tools for source tracking of nitrate, and 4) evaluate the effectiveness of Nutrient Management Plans (NMPs). A survey of swine, poultry, dairy, and beef fee dlot lagoons has recently been completed and will be discussed, with emph asis on estrogens and estrogen conjugates. Other ongoing projects that wi ll be briefly described will include the Regional Applied Research Effort (RARE) projects that have been established through EPA Regions 4 and 6 w ith USDA and USGS to conduct research on stable isotopes and NMP effectiv eness, and an Interagency Agreement (IAG) with USDA to conduct an extensi ve study on NMP effectiveness.
