Information from the Minnesota Land Management Information Center was used to develop <br />a recharge map for the Prairie du Chien - Jordan aquifer within the District (Map 17). In <br />preparing the map, areas were plotted with a surface permeability greater than 2.5 inches <br />per hour and a substratum permeability greater than 5- inches per hour over the aquifer <br />subcrop. The map is not intended for specific planning purposes because of the generalized <br />data. However, for regional planning purposes, the map provides a good view of aquifer <br />recharge in the District. One of the recommendations in -the Management Strategies section <br />of this plan is to request the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota or U.S. Geological <br />Survey to prepare a detailed recharge map for the Prairie du Chien - Jordan aquifer. <br />The MPCA has an active groundwater monitoring system in the Watershed District. The <br />ambient groundwater wells are listed in Table 3 -13 and shown on Map 17. The purpose of <br />the MPCA monitoring program is to characterize the physical, chemical, bacteriological, and <br />organic properties of each water source. Data is available to the District through the <br />STORET system. <br />3 -30 <br />10/97 <br />
