Ground Water Contamination Areas

The Ground Water Contamination Areas GIS layer is a statewide map showing the boundaries of delineated areas of known groundwater contamination pursuant to Chapter 62-524, F.A.C., New Potable Water Well Permitting In Delineated Areas. 38 Florida counties have been delineated primarily for the agricultural pesticide ethylene dibromide (EDB), and to a much lesser extent, volatile organic and petroleum contaminants. This GIS layer represents approximately 427,897 acres in 38 counties in Florida that have been delineated for groundwater contamination. However, it does not represent all known sources of groundwater contamination for the state of Florida.
