    | 
   Caption:  Un-ionized ammonia is extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set a maximum objective of 0.025 milligrams per liter (mg/L) shown in red hatch marks above. Five out of eight stations monitored by the NCRWQCB (Winchester, 1995) exceeded EPA standards.  Pump 9 and Pump D show the highest un-ionized ammonium levels.  The percent of the total amount of nitrogen and ammonia present that form un-ionized ammonia increases as temperature and pH rise.  Click on Info Links for more information.
