Potential Sources of Contamination VDH conducts an inventory of potential sources of contamination (PSC) within the SWPA through its Source Water Assessment Program. This inventory, which is presented in Appendix C, contains information regarding the ownership of the PSC, the types of contaminants produced by the PSC, as well as the distance of the PSC to the water source. This inventory is summarized below in Figure 4. The location maps of PSC within the SWPA are presented in Appendix A. These PSC include publicly available information from DEQ, VDH, EPA, and other sources. [insert only in version of SWPP: Information on these sources, as well as the sources of the map reference data, is available in Appendix E.] The risk of each PSC varies depending on proximity to the well and potential pathways to reach groundwater. The highest priority area for protection includes the activities within Zone 1 of the SWPA. [Water System Name] should use the PSC inventory for Zone 1 in evaluating the risk posed by each PSC and the need for protections measures. [Insert PSC Summary] Identification of existing contamination sources may address immediate concerns about protection of the local water supply. To ensure that the supply remains uncontaminated, continual review of land use activities and identification of potential sources of contamination is necessary. Source Water Protection Plan The SWPP describes the actions necessary to minimize the risk to the quality of the source water utilized by the [insert waterworks name]. The goal of the plan is to reduce or eliminate potential threats to drinking water supplies within the SWPA either through existing regulatory or statutory controls, or by using non-regulatory (and often voluntary) measures centered around an involved public. Existing Measures and Activities Current measures in place for protecting the quality of water within the SWPA are:
