Major aquifers are capable of yielding 70 gallons of water per minute. Potable water contains less than 2,500 milligrams per liter of total dissolved solids. Bedrock aquifers within 300 feet of ground surface cover most of northern Illinois and are commonly overlain only by thin layers of less permeable silts and clays. Many are directly overlain by shallow or major sand and gravel aquifers allowing direct hydrologic communication with shallower aquifer systems. Stratigraphic units considered to be major bedrock aquifers are: Hunton Limestone Megagroup Ancell Group Prairie du Chien Group Ironton-Galesville Sandstone Elmhurst-Mt. Simon Sandstone The scale of these data is 1:500,000. Purpose: This feature class is intended to identify areas of Illinois where major bedrock aquifers exist. These data are appropriate for use in regional thematic analysis. The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The datasets were not and are not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS, the data have no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines. Supplemental_Information: In April 2004 the source coverage was transitioned to storage in an Oracle RDBMS using the ArcSDE geodatabase model. The result (this version) is designated edition 20040401. The source coverage (edition 2.0) was entirely reconstructed from the source hand-drafted map, making the previous version (coverage edition 1.0) obsolete. This edition retains the edition 2.0 data. Some information used to compile this map was obtained from well log data on file at the Illinois State Geological and Water Surveys. A variety of well/boring data were used, including: water wells oil wells (active and abandoned) gas wells (active and abandoned) Secondary and Tertiary oil recovery wells air injection wells service wells waste disposal wells observation wells (disposal sites) observation wells (water resources) gas storage operational wells water test holes coal test holes mineral test holes structure test holes stratigraphic test holes engineering test holes Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1986 Currentness_Reference: publication date of sources Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -91.4244 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -87.3840 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 42.4951 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 36.9540 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Theme_Keyword: aquifer Theme_Keyword: groundwater Theme_Keyword: water Theme_Keyword: hydrology Theme_Keyword: hydrogeology Theme_Keyword: bedrock Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: none Place_Keyword: Illinois Access_Constraints: ISGS information must be obtained directly from the ISGS or from an authorized distributor.

Attribute codes are believed to fully representative of the source data. Source data were derived through contouring and interpretation. Logical_Consistency_Report: When in coverage format, this data set was checked for complete chain-node topology (no dangling arcs, except where appropriate), polygon labels (one per polygon, except for universal polygon), boundary values appropriate for map projection and map units, and appropriate "fuzzy" tolerances. There are no known polygon attribute values outside the appropriate value domains. Completeness_Report: This data set contains major bedrock aquifers as defined in the abstract. There exist other aquifers (associated with other geologic formations or aquifer definitions) not identified on this map. Some examples are sand and gravel aquifers, shallow aquifers, and other aquifers between 50 and 300 feet that are not identified as "major aquifers". Because these data are generalized over a large areal extent, the user needs a good working knowledge of the geologic formations used here in order to derive valid and useful interpretations. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positional accuracy of this data with respect to the source maps was verified by three individuals by visual comparison (manual overlay) of source maps and hard-copy plots. Arcs within one line-width of source mylars were deemed acceptable. Consult the sources for information on the derivation of aquifer boundaries.

The map is pencil on paper in good condition, at a scale of 1:500,000. Process_Date: 1985 Process_Step: Process_Description: In 1994 the coverage underwent extensive Quality Assurance/ Quality Control review. As a result of the QA/QC review, the existing coverage was replaced. The new coverage was digitized from the original paper map, with a maximum RMS of 0.008. The .PAT ITEMS and values were copied from the existing coverage and then manually verified. This processing was subsequently reviewed and verified by ISGS staff. Process_Date: 1994 Process_Step: Process_Description: Source coverage (aqmb300) converted to double precision and reprojected to GCS_NAD83 using Workstation ArcInfo 7.2.1. The features were imported into the ISGS SDE enterprise database following steps outlined in ISGS procedure GISDB_0009. Attribute COUNT-FED-FIPS was dropped. It was an unnecessary item leftover from previous processing. Metadata updated.
