Water well information is normally gathered through athered thh the use of the Source Water Assessment <br /> g <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. In <br /> addition to the SWAP database, LandTech also reviewed the Questor Map maintained by the <br /> Illinois State Geologic Survey. The estimated area impacted by contaminated ground water is <br /> shown on the Figures 1, 2 and 3 in the information provided by LandTech. A water well survey <br /> of the area was completed using the IEPA's SWAP database and the USGS Questor Map. The <br /> database showed no potable water wells existing within the proposed ground water ordinance <br /> area. City water serves the area so future wells will not be needed. <br /> The City maintains the location of the 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 /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this ordinance. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: LandTech Environmental Services <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director and Matt Newell, City <br /> Engineer. Richard Marley will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any <br /> questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: Budget and staff time is negligible for this action. <br /> This memorandum was prepared by Matthew C.
