This paper is the second part of a two-part series concerned with asse
ssing the potential for organic chemical leaching to a ground-water sk
imming tunnel in the Pearl Harbor Basin, Oahu, Hawaii, as a direct res
ult of proposed urban development. The Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM
) was used, after testing with field and laboratory data described in
the companion paper, to make long-term predictions of the movement of
chlorpyrifos, diazinon, metribuzin, and nitrate under various recharge
scenarios. The PRZM simulations revealed that, with the exception of
chlorpyrifos, detectable levels of all the chemicals considered in thi
s study may leach through the unsaturated zone to the water table from
where they may eventually migrate to the skimming tunnel. The simulat
ed concentrations in leachate reaching the water table were sufficient
ly low, considering subsequent mixing in the ground water, to suggest
no adverse health effects. The reliability of the simulated results ar
e laced with enough uncertainty, however, to suggest the need for moni
toring for diazinon, metribuzin, and nitrate, if development does proc
eed. The methodology presented in this series is a first attempt at es
tablishing a protocol for using numerical modeling, supported by field
and laboratory measurements to aid in land-use change consideration i
n Hawaii when nonpoint ground-water contamination from organic chemica
ls is of concern.
