WELLPOLL was created to provide an easily accessed record of wells and pollution sources and to link these sites to other geographic data within the GIS. For most records, specific construction information and other physical characteristics are available from the County. This information may be used to aid in the evaluation of the groundwater resource in the case of wells, or of certain types of observed or potential pollution problems in the case of pollution sources. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>WELLPOLL is a data set of water wells and pollution sources in the county that have been identified and assigned a unique SITE-ID number. Cemeteries are included as a potential groundwater and soil pollution source. Within this data set, the majority of wells are individual potable water wells and the majority of pollution sources are individual sewage disposal (septic/drain field) systems. Other types of wells and pollution sources, like cemeteries, also exist in the data and are listed and explained in the data dictionary. Note that all identified pollution sources are not necessarily causing pollution, but rather, can be simply a potential source of pollution. Information for wells comes primarily from State Groundwater Well Completion (GW2) forms completed by well drilling contractors and varies in accuracy and completeness. Information for pollution sources comes primarily from the Health Department permitting and inspection process and/or date of discovery from field verification. This layer is maintained and administered by the Health Department and Department of Building and Development.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
