Future Study W ater R esources D evelopment A ct

Objective: to provide necessary hydrologic information to effectively plan for future water- resources development Conceptual understanding of aquifer system –Groundwater availability –Groundwater quality and susceptibility to contamination –Recharge sources, flow paths, residence times Optimizing management strategies –Evaluation of additional groundwater resources –Evaluation of potential effects of future development on current resources and water supply

Source Protection HB 40 Need

HB 40 Original Bill required all Counties to adopt an ordinance protecting drinking water sources No later than May 3 rd 2010 Bill was amended 2009 only requiring Counties of the 1 st & 2 nd Class to adopt an ordinance protecting drinking water sources Bill no longer applies to Grand County

Need for Source Protection GWSSA feels there is a need and would like to see a County wide plan implemented Moab City and GWSSA both have a Source protection plan GWSSA also feels that it would be in both the County’s and the City’s best interest to adopt a common plan
