Description:
Abstract:
This dataset represents the interpreted susceptibility of the uppermost aquifers in Calumet County, Wisconsin. Aquifer susceptibility is the likelihood that contamination introduced at the ground surface will reach the groundwater system. The susceptibility of an aquifer depends on many factors. Factors intrinsic to the natural setting include the thickness and type of material overlying an aquifer, the depth to the water table, and the type of material that makes up the aquifer. Other factors influencing susceptibility include specific characteristics of a contaminant and the location of contamination relative to groundwater flow directions. This aquifer susceptibility dataset was developed using data about the physical characteristics, or factors, that are intrinsic to the natural groundwater system. Rankings of low, moderate, and high susceptibility were assigned based on these physical characteristics.
Purpose:
The aquifer susceptibility dataset constitutes a part of the data compiled and analyzed for the Calumet County Groundwater Project. The purpose of this project was to provide information pertinent to protecting the quality of groundwater resources in Calumet County. This dataset was developed to help identify areas that are particulary vulnerable to groundwater contamination in relation to other areas of the county, informing discussions of land use, drinking-water quality, and natural resource planning in Calumet County.

Process_Description:
1. Develop Depth-to-Bedrock Ranking Dataset. We digitally scanned the Socha depth-to-bedrock map and rectifed the image to 1:100,000-scale Calumet County boundary using ArcMap georeferencing tools. The rectified image was vector-traced using manual and automatic techniques with the ArcGIS ArcScan extension, and the digitized lines were converted to polygons and assigned an attribute indicating a range of depths to bedrock . The resultant polygons were then supplemented with SSURGO soil data, where the soil data component table was queried for soil map units with bedrock depth less than 60 inches. These areas of thin soil were generalized and incorporated into the Socha features using manual drawing and smoothing techniques. The supplemented Socha dataset was reviewed to verify that the thin soil polygon features corresponded to Socha units mapped as having bedrock 0 to 5 feet. Finally, the Depth-to-Bedrock data were clipped to the extent of Silurian bedrock and converted to ESRI Grid format. The bedrock depth grid values were reclassified to a five-value susceptibility rank, where depths of less than 5 feet were ranked 5, depths of 5 to 20 feet were ranked 4, depths of 20 to 50 feet were ranked 3, depths of 50 to 100 feet were ranked 2, and depths of 100 to 400 feet were ranked 1.

2. Develop Pleistocene Geology Ranking Dataset. Convert the Socha Pleistocene geology data from vector to ESRI Grid format. Reclassify grid values from geologic unit symbol to five-value susceptibility rank, based on the texture of the mapped materials. The susceptibility rank 5 included geologic units HST, KSB, R, SB, and VST; rank 4 included IA and KIP; rank 3 included HDH, HDR, HDS, and HSH; rank 2 included O; and rank 1 included CDE, CDH, CDR, CDS, GCIC, GDM, GDR, KDR, and VDR.

3. Develop Depth-to-Water Table Ranking Dataset. The Depth-to-Water Table grid values were calculated using the DEM and Water-Table Map. Water-table contours were used to interpolate a water-table surface grid using ESRI ArcInfo Topogrid command. Water-table surface grid was then reclassified to align with the DEM grid. ESRI ArcGIS ArcToolbox cut and fill analyses were performed to compute a grid of depth-to-water table values. Finally, the depth-to-water table grid values were reclassified to five-value susceptibility rank scheme, where 0 to 15 feet were ranked 5, 15 to 30 feet were ranked 4, 30 to 45 feet were ranked 3, 45 to 60 feet were ranked 4, and greater than 60 feet ranked 5.

4. Calculate Susceptibility Rank of Silurian Bedrock Aquifer. We used two input grid datasets, the Depth-to-Bedrock Ranking Grid and the Pleistocene Geology Ranking Grid, to determine susceptibility, limiting the analysis area to the part of Calumet County underlain by Silurian dolomite (Sherrill 1979). Relative weights were applied to the input ranking values based on two properties influencing aquifer susceptibility, with the depth-to-bedrock rank having a greater influence (0.67) than the Pleistocene geology rank (0.33). Overall susceptiblity of the aquifer was computed by adding the weighted depth-to-bedrock grid to the weighted Pleistocene geology grid, resulting in a grid of susceptiblity rankings ranging from 1 (least susceptible) to 5 (most susceptible).

5. Calculate Susceptibility Rank of Sand and Gravel Aquifer. We used two input raster datasets, Depth-to-Water Ranking Grid and Pleistocene Geology Ranking Grid, to determine susceptibility. We defined the analysis area by excluding the part of Calumet County underlain by Silurian dolomite (Sherrill 1979). We applied equal weights to input ranking values, with the depth-to-water rank having the same influence (0.5) as the Pleistocene geology rank (0.5). Overall susceptiblity of the aquifer was computed by adding the weighted depth-to-water grid to the weighted Pleistocene geology grid, resulting in a grid of susceptiblity rankings ranging from 1 (least susceptible) to 5 (most susceptible).

6. Format and Review Output. The two output grid datasets, the Silurian Aquifer Susceptibility Ranking Grid and the Sand and Gravel Aquifer Susceptibility Ranking Grid, were reclassified from numeric rankings to susceptibility indices of "Low", "Moderate", and "High". The two reclassified grids were then converted to two polygon feature classes. The feature class representing the Silurian bedrock aquifer was supplemented with shallow bedrock data from SSURGO 2004, where areas of shallow bedrock were assigned a fourth "Thin Soil" susceptibility index value. The polygon boundaries of the two feature classes were smoothed, feature class topology was validated, and 1:24000-scale plots were reviewed for errors. Finally, the Silurian Bedrock feature class was appended to the Sand and Gravel feature class, attribute values for the aquifer name were added, and a final quality control check was completed.
