Guidelines for Ground-Water Classification under the EPA Ground-Water Protection Strategy, June 1988

摘要

These Final Guidelines for classifying ground water augment the Ground-Water Protection Strategy by further defining the key terms and concepts of the classification system, and describing procedures and data requirements to assist in classifying ground water. The procedures in the Final Guidelines are generally intended for site-specific ground-water classification based on a review of the segment of ground water in relatively close proximity to a particular source. Although the specific procedures are not designed specifically for broader aquifer classification, many of the concepts and procedures developed for site-by-site classification will also be useful in such classification efforts.
