Water well information is normally gathered through the use of the Source Water Assessment <br /> Program(SWAP) database. This database is maintained by the Illinois Environmental <br /> Protection Agency(IEPA) and is a compilation of data from the Illinois State Geologic Survey, <br /> the Illinois State Water Survey, the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the IEPA. Ground <br /> water flow models prepared by Stantec are given on Figure 1. The water well survey of the area <br /> was completed using the IEPA's SWAP database. The database shows no wells existing within <br /> the proposed ground water ordinance area. City water serves the area so future wells will not be <br /> needed. <br /> The City maintains the location of ground water use restriction areas on its geographic <br /> information system(GIS). This information is shared with the Macon County Health <br /> Department which is the agency in the County that permits well installation. Frequently asked <br /> questions are attached hereto as Appendix A for the information of the City Council. <br /> SCHEDULE: The ordinance will take effect upon the signature of the Mayor. <br /> BUDGET AND STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: Budget and staff time is negligible for this <br /> action. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this ordinance. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Stantec Consulting Services Inc. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director and Matt Newell, City <br /> Engineer.
