The associated complex sub-surface drainage system, potential for rapid Areas in the Coastal Plain of New Castle County, Delaware, 1993. groundwater movement, and sinkhole formation make the groundwater in this area highly susceptible to contamination. In addition, recharge to this formation, essential for Delaware Geological Survey, Application of the EPA WHPA Models for Delineation of maintaining the groundwater resource, is limited by the relatively small outcrop areas. 1086110772 Wellhead Protection Areas in the Glendale and Eastern States Wellfields New Castle The Cockeysville Formation in the Hockessin area currently supports public and private County, Delaware, 1993. 184815 D 10746 e water supply wells producing an average of more than 1.5 million gallons per day. 10745 l 39676 a Delaware Geological Survey, Letter to Water Resources Agency for New Castle County, 39685 SILVER RUN RD w WELLHEAD WATER RESOURCE PROTECTION AREAS 10453 a September 27, 1993. 234277235263 OLD CORBITT RD r Wellhead Water Resource Protection Areas are surface and sub-surface areas 111968111065 ¤£13 e 188292 299 surrounding public water supply wells or wellfields where the quantity or quality of Delaware Geological Survey, Summary Report Geology and Hydrology of the Cockeysville 299 OP OP groundwater moving toward such wells or wellfields may be adversely affected by land Formation, New Castle County, Delaware, 1991. use activity.
