Purpose	This report describes results of the study to determine possible sources of nitrate in ground water from 79 monitoring wells at 35 LMFOs in Oklahoma. ODAFF selected the LMFOs and wells based on annual ground-water samples collected and analyzed from 1999 through 2001 that had nitrate concentrations exceeding the USEPA MCL of 10 milligrams per liter of nitrate as nitrogen.
