7 <br />D. Obtain listing of all underground storage tanks, December 1991 <br />and storage tank leak incidents from Division of <br />Environmental Management. <br />E. Obtain all available surface water quality March 1992 <br />monitoring data from DEM. <br />F. Obtain all available surface and groundwater March 1992 <br />quality and quantity data from USGS and <br />other sources. <br />OBJECTIVE 2 <br />Develop generalized soils mapping with emphasis on <br />suitability for land application waste treatment systems <br />and obtain from DEM data on remaining stream and surface <br />water waste loading allocations in order to determine <br />Areas which would probably be best served by extension of <br />municipal utility systems rather than development of <br />onsite waste treatment systems. <br />PLAN OF ACTION <br />A. using SCS soil mapping of the County and expertise May 1991 <br />of staff soil scientists, develop generalized map of <br />County indicating broad areas of soil types and <br />depths suitable for land application waste treatment. <br />B. Obtain available information from DEM regarding July 1991 <br />the assigned waste loading capacities of County <br />streams and surface water and information on all <br />approved surface discharge waste loading allocations <br />for existing treatment facilities. <br />OBJECTIVE 3 <br />Develop a water resource protection long range planning <br />system or program, using County GIS system and impact <br />modeling programs to predict the impacts of various land <br />uses and land use patterns on the quality and quantity of <br />ground and surface water resources. <br />PLAN OF ACTION <br />A. Bring on line GIS capabilities of various County December 199. <br />Departments which have environmental and,planning/ <br />land use responsibilities. <br />Page 6 <br />
