| Abstract | The 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) establish a new Wellhead Protection (WHP) Program to protect ground waters that supply wells and wellfields contributing drinking water to public water supply systems. The Guidance outlines procedural and technical information that eligible applicants need to apply for Federal grant funds to develop and implement these WHP Programs. The Program offers an innovative approach to ground-water protection. Unlike most other environmental programs, the WHP Program focuses on the entire resource requiring protection, rather than on a limited set of sources or contaminants. The WHP Program, furthermore, focuses on a very important subset of ground-water resources; that is, specific areas that supply wells or wellfields withdrawing drinking water for public systems. |
