Groundwater Protection: Measurement of Relative Vulnerability to Pesticide Contamination

  Premium   Download PDF Now (52 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 31, 1991
Report No. PEMD-92-8
Subject
Summary:

This report evaluates the feasibility of differentially protecting groundwater from pesticide contamination on the basis of the relative vulnerability of different geographic areas--an approach being considered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It also discusses the degree to which states and counties are uniform in their susceptibility to groundwater contamination. Finally, the report describes the degree to which two common measures of relative vulnerability diverge in identifying areas that are susceptible to contamination.
