CONTAMINATE THE QUALITY OF GROUNDWATER,
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
e contamination fr ~
on a biannual basis, be.clinnin.q in October, 1998, review and revise (as necessary}
existinq map delineations of rechar.qe areas that are most sensitive to contamination
from land development and other surface activities. The review and any map revisions
will be based on _cleolo_qic. hydro_cleoloRic, hydrolo.qic, and updated anathropo..qenic
contaminant data aq_cire,qated dudn,q the previous biennium.
Policy: 1.1.1:
~'~'~t'*' ~"-- ,,'~",,~"' --
Continue to revise 3-dimensional computer models of .qround water flow around publiq
water supply wellfields, as additional data {e.g., withdrawal rates, .,numbers and
locations of wells within wellfields, and hydro.qeolo.qic information) become available.
Policy 1.1.2:
cenfin!n~ units.
Continue to identify areas and revise previous identifications of areas that are
especially vulnerable to contamination because of land use, drainaqe. geomorphic, soil,
hydro.qeologica!, and other conditions, such as the presence/absence of confining
units.
Policy 1.1.3:
cont3min.."t!on.
Identify existing land uses and land use activities that possess the greatest potential for
ground water contamination. See Policy 1.5,4.
