Implementation of the National Pesticide Survey, and Recommendations for Conducting Future Occurrence Surveys

In 1984, a joint project between the USEPA’s Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW) and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) was initiated to conduct a statistically based survey of pesticide contamination of drinking water wells. The National Pesticide Survey (NPS) had two primary objectives. The first objective was to provide statistically valid data which could be extrapolated to represent both rural domestic and community drinking water wells nationally. The second objective was to attempt to evaluate possible associations between pesticide contamination of drinking water wells and pesticide use and hydrogeological vulnerability.
