Inventorying Potential Contaminant Sources |
An
important part of wellhead protection planning is determining the potential
sources of contamination in the delineated wellhead protection area. The
wellhead protection planning team determines both past and present potential
sources of contamination by searching data bases and by visiting the area
to look for potential problems. By knowing what the potential contaminants
are, the team can choose appropriate management techniques. The Purdue
Extension publication Inventorying
Potential Sources of Drinking Water Contamination describes how the
wellhead protection planning team can go about locating all the regulated
and non-regulated potential contaminant sources in the wellhead protection
area.Some Consultants will assist in the database search and in the site visit. If you are interested in getting assistance, you might visit the Consultant's link from the wellhead home page.
