| Sand Springs Aquifer-NPS Pollution Control Part 1-4 |
The Sand Springs Water Quality Protection Project was initiated to
address a problem of nitrate concentrations exceeding 10 mg/L in Abilene
public water supply wells. The project intends to assure that drinking
water produced from the Sand Springs aquifer meets applicable standards
and needs of city and county residents. Improved water quality will be
achieved by reducing the amount of nitrates and other potential contaminants
entering the Sand Springs aquifer and environment. The project is under
the direction of a five-person board appointed by the City of Abilene and
Dickinson County. Grant funds provided by KDHE - Nonpoint Source Section
are used to employ a project administrator and support information and
education activities, special investigations and pollution control - water
quality protection demonstration projects. |
