<br />Chapter 4 <br />Wellhead Protection Goals <br /> <br />Ultimate Goal <br />The ultimate goal of this wellhead protection plan is the sustained quality and quantity of <br />groundwater for the City's water supply system. To achieve this, the City has identified goals to <br />address specific initiatives and issues. <br /> <br />I. PUBLIC EDUCA TION <br /> <br />A. Wellhead Protection Awareness Project <br />An education program is critical to protect the City's water supply and gain the cooperation <br />of property owners and businesses within the DWSMAs. The goal of the Wellhead <br />Protection Awareness Project is to notify property owners and residents of the location and <br />coverage of the City's DVVSMAs. <br /> <br />B. Hazardous Materials Management Education <br />This effort will educate residents and businesses regarding proper handling, use, storage, <br />and disposal of hazardous materials within the DWSMAs through augmentation of existing <br />environmental education programs. This initiative will not address businesses that are <br />currently licensed hazardous waste generators already required to meet State management <br />standards. <br /> <br />II. OTHER WELLS MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />A. Seal Abandoned Wells <br />Cooperate with the MDH Well Management Program to seal all abandoned wells within the <br />DWSMAs. The City has developed a list of properties, within its DWSMAs, that have the <br />probability of having a well based on the date of the construction of the building and the <br />date when City water main was available to the property. <br /> <br />B. Monitor Well Construction <br />Cooperate with the MDH Well Management Program to monitor and maintain accurate <br />records of the construction of wells within the City. This project will improve the location <br />accuracy of constructed wells by having a local official verify the location information <br />submitted by the licensed well contractor. <br /> <br />III. CONTAMINANT SOURCES <br /> <br />A. Potential Contaminant Source Inventory (PCSI) <br />Determine the extent of potential contaminant sources located inside the City's vulnerable <br />DWSMA for Well #2. The PCSI will be maintained to monitor contaminant sources. <br /> <br />IV. CITY PROGRAMS INTEGRATION <br /> <br />A. Zoning, Development, and Redevelopment Controls <br />Determine the compatibility of utilizing City land use and development programs to enhance <br />wellhead protection. <br /> <br />July 3, 2007 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />Centerville Wellhead Protection Plan (Part 2) <br /> <br />Page 16 <br />
