Dear Mr. Frey: Re: Sample of Well No. I018051 Sample of Well No. I019051

As you may remember, two of your rice irrigation wells were sampled in August, 1998, as part of our Agrichemical Groundwater Monitoring Program. This program is not regulatory in any way, but is simply to provide information on groundwater quality in the State of Mississippi.

The samples from your wells were analyzed for approximately 100 pesticides, along with chlorides and nitrates. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the results of these analyses which have just been received from the Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory.

The Mississippi Office of Pollution Control determines the quality of groundwater using federal guidelines which are divided into Primary and Secondary Regulations. Primary Regulations are based on health considerations and are the most important. Secondary Regulations relate to other qualities such as color, taste, odor, staining, etc. and are lesser in importance. Maximum contaminant Levels (MCL's) have been established for many items considered to be the most important in both primary and secondary Regulations. However, it should be noted that MCL's have not been established on all compounds included in this report.

The analyses of samples from your wells did not detect any pesticides or contaminants which exceeded present Primary or Secondary Drinking Water MCL's. The results from our AgChem tests indicate the overall quality of your water to be very good at this time with regards to agricultural chemicals, chlorides and nitrates.

OFFICE OF POLLUTION CONTROL PO 80,10385 Jackson, MS 392890385 Phone 601 961.5171 Fa, 601.354 .6612 Attached you will find a copy of the laboratory analyses which were conducted on your wells . Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions or if you wish additional information . I will be happy to help in any way that I can.

Sincerely,
