SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is
conducting the study with the
assistance of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) to (1) obtain
information on water-quality issues that
affect private well owners, (2) estimate
the number of private wells containing
raw-water concentrations of uranium
and other trace metals (arsenic, iron,
lead, and manganese) that are greater
than the current drinking-water
standards, and (3) assess the degree to
which bedrock types can be associated
with concentrations of uranium and
other trace metals. This information will
help guide future water-supply
development and well-water testing. It
will guide local health officials to areas
of concern within their communities.
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.
