The report summarizes information about your facility and samples collected and analyzed from your welKs). The well site survey provides an inventory of the area around the welKs) to help increase your awareness of potential hazards to groundwater utilized by your facility. This information and technical data will assist you in developing and implementing local groundwater protection measures authorized by the Act. FACILITY DESCRIPTION AND GEOLOGIC PROFILE OF HELL SITES The Village of Steeleville obtains its water from six shallow sandstone wells. These wells provide an average of 234,000 gallons per day to 879 services. See Table I for a description of each well. The surficial geologic susceptibility rating for all six wells is G. The bedrock aquifer is overlain by low permeability sediments. Permeability is a measure of the ability of a soil or sediment to transmit fluids. A complete description and geologic profile is found in the Facility Hells Report (Appendix D). Table I Minimum Maximum Capacity Specific Well Well Setback Setback (gpm) Capacity Depth Logs (ft.)

The samples were analyzed for inorganic chemicals (IOC) and volatile organic/aromatic compounds (VOC/VOA). VOC/VOA analyses did not detect quantifiable levels of any organic compounds. IOC analyses indicate that most parameters are consistent with other shallow sandstone aquifers in Illinois (Appendix E). WELL SITE SURVEY METHODS AND PROCEDURES The detailed well site survey consists of an aerial photographic map and inventory that relate information about potential contamination sources, routes and possible problem sites to public water supply welKs). The location of the potential sources, routes, possible problem sites, minimum setback zones and the 1,000 ft. survey area are all displayed on the aerial photographic map (Appendix B). The first page of each survey consists of a summary description and geologic profile for each well. The second and following pages inventory units within and bordering a 1,000 foot radius of the wellhead. A unit is defined as "any device, mechanism, equipment, or area (exclusive of land utilized only for agricultural production)" (See Groundwater Primer pg. 19). The Agency 5-digit well number is associated with a map code or unit, and then classified. The classification codes relate to definitions of potential contamination sources and routes as defined in the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act (Primer pages 18-19). Each unit or map code is then described and associated with an owner/address. In addition, the distance and direction from the wellhead is indicated. Results and Findings The Steeleville well site survey was conducted on July 26, 1990 by Wade Boring from the Agency's Springfield Office. The following describes the results and findings for the Steeleville public water wells. Steeleville Well #1 (lEPA #60207) The survey area is mostly urban. The area is a mixture of residential and commercial with some light industrial. There are six possible problem sites within 1,500 feet of Well #1. They are below ground fuel storage (map code 3) 1,350 ft. NW, American Device Mfg. Co. (map code 5) 1,400 Ft. WNW, Schemonic Bros. Garage (map code 8) 1,100 ft. WSW, a former gas station (map code 9) 1,240 ft. WSW, Glister - Mary Lee (map code 11) 700 ft. E and a closed gas station (map code 19) 1,260 ft. SE. Steeleville Well #3 (lEPA #60208) The survey area is mostly urban. The area is a mixture of residential and commercial with some light industrial. There are five possible problem sites within 1,500 feet of 0311 ^3. They are Niederbrach Truck Service (map code 10) 1,200 ft. NNW, Glister - Mary Lee (map code 11) 250 ft. E, Mucks (map code 16) 1,200 ft. SE, Sunoco (map code 17) 1,360 ft. SE and a closed gas station (map code 19) 1,050 ft. SE. Steelevllle Nell #4 (lEPA #60209) The survey area is mostly urban.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The well site survey conducted indicates that there are potential sources/sites that could pose a hazard to groundwqter utilized by the Steelevllle public water wells. • One site with above ground bulk fuel storage; Yesley Service Co. • Three abandoned and/or former gas stations. • Eleven sites with below ground fuel storage; Yesley Service Co., Egyptian Electrical Co-op, American Device Mfg. Co., Brockhorn Motor, Niederbrach Truck Service, Glister - Mary Lee, Mucks, Sunoco, the Village Maintenance Shed and two unmarked buildings. • The sewage treatment plant. for protection zones Thp Arf ale minimum protection zones are regulated by the lEPA The Act also authorizes county and municipal officials the opportunity to provide maximum protection zones up to 1,000 feet. The responsibnity for the controls would then be assumed by local officials through adopmn of a maximum setback zone ordinance. ^ auuption or a Maximum setback zones prohibit the siting of new potential primary sources of groundwater contamination up to a distance of 1,000 feet from the^wellhead. rortf? ^ * ’"*’*]"'“1' setback zone could expand the regulatory coverage of activities.
