Certain areas of the state are recognized as having unique geology. A large section of the mid-southern part of the state is a karst region. Portions of Saint Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, and LaGrange Counties contain a sole source aquifer as referenced in 42 U.S.C. 300h-3(e). The waters of the state are particularly vulnerable to damage from spills in these areas, and care should be exercised when evaluating damage from spills. Information about these areas can be obtained by calling the Department of Environmental Management, Office of Land Quality, Emergency Response Section: Area Code 1-888-233-7745 for in-state calls (toll free), (317) 233-7745 for out-of-state calls.
