How do we find vulnerable areas to best focus projects?
Screening Approach:Where do nitrogen sources and geologic vulnerability overlap?
Can we use the wealth of nitrate data from well monitoring to focus efforts?

Probability of nitrate exceeding a chosen threshold is predicted by:
Random Forest Classification Model
• Well Depth• Confinement • Aquifer Depth • Recharge • Water Table Depth • Soil Hydraulic
Conductivity
• Soil Drainage Class • Ecoregion • Sinkhole Frequency • Land Use • Nitrogen Load • Septic Density
