Description: These borings were mapped to help internal staff review permits as well as assist in Site Evaluations, Feasibility Studies and Soil Investigation Reports. This data can also be useful for other divisions within DNREC, partnered agencies and even the public.Data is Enterprise Geodatabase View from the Delaware Environmental Navigator (DEN) database, PLC_Septic_Site_Evaluations.
Description: The purpose of this program is to protect the quality of public water supplies derived from public water wells by providing local governments with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect the land area surrounding those wells from activities or substances that might harm the quality or quantity of water derived from those wells. This purpose will be accomplished in part by the creation and implementation of a "Water Supply Protection Program," which incorporates the federal Wellhead Protection Program required by Congress in the 1986 Amendments to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. This plan has been developed under the guidance of both the U.S. EPA and the State's Water Supply Protection Advisory Board (WSPAB). The assistance of these two organizations has been vital to the development of a meaningful and workable method for protecting the State's water supplies. This data was made as a reference and aid to internal staff, partnered agencies and the public.Data is DOW_WHPA_SP in FirstMap Stage Enterprise Geodatabase that are then used to update the PLC_WHPA Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class made available from DNREC's Enterprise Geodatabase.

Description: The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC or Department) has determined that establishing a groundwater institutional control (IC) in the form of a Groundwater Management Zone (GMZ) or Groundwater Exclusion Zone (GEZ) is appropriate for monitoring new water supply well permitting and/or well placement/construction in areas where groundwater contamination has the potential to cause harm to public health, welfare, and the environment.In October 2012, the DNREC Division of Waste and Hazardous Substances and Division of Water entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to establish the authorities and appropriate use of GMZs and GEZs that would be consistent with the Delaware’s Comprehensive State Groundwater Protection Program (CSHWPP, 1997). Data is Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class made available from DNREC's Enterprise Geodatabase.

Description: Sussex County Landfill Groundwater Management Zones (GMZs) are In accordance with the March 20, 2000 Memorandum of Agreement between Sussex County and the DNREC (File No. LF-13.05-B). The GMZs were established to resolve water contamination issues posed by the landfills. The GMZs consist of three (3) concentric areas: No Wells zone - all wells prohibited from unconfined aquifer; Zone A - unconfined wells may be pumped no more than 10 gpm; and Zone B - unconfined wells may be pumped no more than 100 gpm.Data is PLC_Sussex_County_Landfills Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class made available from DNREC's Enterprise Geodatabase.
