Combined Risk

<p style='background:white;'><span style='font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Avenir; color:#4C4C4C; background:white;'>See feature layer <a href='https://gispublic.waterboards.ca.gov/portal/home/item.html?id=d0653879f87b4edf94893f9385e9fad6' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>here</a>.</span></p><p style='background:white;'><span style='font-family: Avenir; font-size: 12pt;'>The aquifer risk map is being developed to fulfill
requirements of SB-200 and is intended to help prioritize areas where domestic
wells and state small water systems may be accessing groundwater that does not
meet primary drinking water standards (maximum contaminant level or MCL). In
accordance with SB-200, the risk map is to be made available to the public and
is to be updated annually starting January 1, 2021. The Fund Expenditure Plan
states the risk map will be used by Water Boards staff to help prioritize areas
for available SAFER funding. </span><br /></p><p style='background:white;'><span style='font-size:12.0pt; color:black;'></span></p>

<p style='background:white;'><span style='font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Avenir; color:#4C4C4C; background:white;'>This layer shows the combined hazard (water quality) and
exposure (drinking water users) risk for all census block groups. The combined
risk of each area is based on the water quality risk combined with the density
of domestic wells and state small water systems. For each census block group,
the combined risk is displayed as a percentile, with higher percentiles
indicating higher combined risk. Additionally, the estimated count of domestic
wells and state small water systems per census block group is displayed, along
with the disadvantaged/severely disadvantaged status of each census block group
based on median household income data from 2018.</span></p><p style='background:white;'><span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>Methodology for the draft aquifer risk map </span><a href='https://gispublic.waterboards.ca.gov/portal/home/item.html?id=6a50a6cd22a144e9ac621e9070e01c44' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;' target='_blank'>available for download</a><span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>.</span><br /></p>
