  10. Title: MassGIS 2000 Massachusetts Aquifers (Polygons) (March 1997)

    Contributors:

    Summary: MassGIS produced an aquifer datalayer composed of 20 individual panels, generally based on the boundaries of the major drainage basins. Areas of high and medium yield were mapped. For the purpose of identifying areas in which clean up of hazardous waste sites must meet drinking water standards, as defined in the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (310 CMR 40.0000), the DEP has coded polygons within the aquifer coverage to identify 'Non Potential Drinking Water Source Areas' (NPDWSAs). NPDWSAs include any Potentially Productive Aquifer or portion thereof which underlies land areas of at least 100 acres developed for one or more of the following uses as of January 1, 1996: Industry; Commerce; Dense residential development and associated uses; transportation; or Urban open space; and those portions of Potentially Productive Aquifers that underlie US Census block groups with population densities of greater than 4,400 persons/square mile. Polygons where the item NPDWSA = 1 are designated as NPDWSAs. Polygons where the item NPDWSA = 0 are not designated as NPDWSAs.

  11. Title: MassGIS 2000 EPA Designated Sole Source Aquifers (May 1996)

    Contributors:

    Summary: The Sole Source Aquifer datalayer was compiled by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Division of Water Supply (DWS). Seven Sole Source Aquifers have been designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Massachusetts. The Sole Source Aquifers are stored as a statewide polygon coverage, AQ_SOLE. A Sole Source Aquifer (SSA) is an aquifer designated by US EPA as the 'sole or principal source' of drinking water for a given aquifer service area; that is, an aquifer which is needed to supply 50% or more of the drinking water for that area and for which there are no reasonably available alternative sources should that aquifer become contaminated.

  12. Title: MassGIS 2000 Rail Trails Datalayer

    Contributors:

    Summary: The Rail Trails Datalayer is a line coverage representing abandoned railroad rights-of-way and public bike trails that use the rights-of-way. The dataset was created by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management for the purpose of regional planning and mapping. The data was originally modified by DEM from the MassGIS Railroads Datalayer; it has since been modified for DEM by the University of Massachusetts in 1997. All modifications were made using information from various paper maps, and much of the data came directly from USGS Topographic Quadrangles.
