This dataset was developed for use by the MEDWP and other entities. Its primary purpose is to assist in management of spatial information about PWSs in compliance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act as Amended 1996 and 22 MRSA Chapter 601. Detailed design decisions may require additional locational data. Field verification of location, ownership, and other attributes is strongly recommended. The dataset was developed by the Maine Department of Human Services, Drinking Water Program, with logistical and financial support from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). These areas are also regulated under PL 761, requiring notice to the water supplier of locally permitted activities. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>WELLBUFFERS contains circular buffers that represent source water protection areas for wells and surface water intakes that serve the public water supply in Maine. Well buffers are proportional to population served and/or by the type of water supply system. These buffers range from 300 to 2,500 feet in radius. Intake buffers represent a 1000 foot radius around the location of a public water supply surface water intake. PWS travel time or probabilistic source protection areas are depicted in WELLMODELS and are not included in this buffer dataset. There are 3 types of public water systems in Maine: Transient Systems (restaurants, boys and girls camps, campgrounds, motels, bottled water companies, etc.); Community Systems (utilities, mobile home parks, nursing homes, etc.); and Non-transient, Non-Community (NTNC) Systems (schools, offices, factories, etc.).</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |

Users must assume responsibility in determining the usability of this data for their purposes. Digital maps retain the accuracy of their source materials. The best use of data mapped at scales of 1:500,000 and 1:250,000 is in statewide planning and studies; at 1:100,000 in regional planning and studies; at 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 in detailed studies and local planning; and at 1:12,000 and 1:5,000 or larger scales in parcel level studies and detailed local planning. In the use of Maine GIS data, please check sources, scale, accuracy, currentness and other available information. Please confirm that you are using the most recent copy of both data and metadata from the Maine GIS Data Catalog. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
