Hoffman Environmental Research Institute Unpublished Material vector digital data Created by Andrea Croskrey with funding from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Barren River Area Development District, Mammoth Cave of the National Park Service, National Resource Conservation Service, Mammoth Cave Resource Conservation and Development Council, and Hoffman Environmental Research Institute in the Department of Geography and Geology at Western Kentucky University. Data used to create this map came from the Kentucky Geological Society, Kentucky Office of Geographical Information, and United States Geological Survey.

BRADDhighriskrunoff Shapefile of the high risk runoff in the ten counties of the Barren River Area Development District (BRADD). Groundwater sensitivity refers to the inherent ease with which groundwater can be contaminated based on hydrogeologic characteristics. We have developed digital methods for identifying areas of varying groundwater sensitivity for a ten county area of south central Kentucky at a scale of 1:100,000. Overland flow can carry contaminants from impermeable rocks (such as shale) that protect groundwater onto very permeable rocks (such as karst limestone) that can quickly transport runoff to the groundwater. This situation can be observed in and around the Mammoth Cave Plateau as well as many other karst regions. As a result of the study area containing such a landscape, drainage basins and topography were a very important consideration in the creation of these maps. Digitally Vectorized Geologic Quadrangles (DVGQs) were combined with elevation data to both identify hydrogeologic groundwater sensitivity regions and to identify zones of "high risk runoff" where contaminants could be transported in runoff from less sensitive to higher sensitivity (particularly karst) areas. en 2006 publication date Complete As needed -87.067640 -85.439749 37.450481 36.610513 1257900.1174011730478.3071281743972.8233742047158.103365 environment geoscientificInformation planningCadastre karst contamination runoff DVGQs groundwater sensitivity groundwater sensitivity groundwater contamination United States Kentucky Allen County Barren County Butler County Edmonson County Hart County Logan County Metcalfe County Monroe County Simpson County Warren County BRADD none none none Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over groundwater protection may define, describe and delineate groundwater sensitivity differently than how it was applied to this mapping project. Regulations and standards used and required in your area should be researched before using this data. Additionally, a thorough knowledge and understanding of this data should be obtained before it is applied in a regulatory manner. Data used to create this shapefile included Digitally Vectorized Quadrangles (DVGQs) from the Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS), political boundaries from the Kentucky Division of Geographic Information and elevation data in the form of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and Tagged Vector Contours (TVCs) from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that were downloaded through the Kentucky Division of Geographic Information (http://dgi.ky.gov/gisdata.htm).

Data should be accurate within 30 meters. High Risk Runoff was determined from the Hdrogeologic Groundwater Sensitivity, DEMs, and TVCs. Horizontal data were created from DVGQ) produced by the KGS, and TCVs and DEMs from the USGS and therefore should be within the national mapping standard.
