Aquifer Risk Map is developed to fulfill requirements of SB-200 (Monning, 2019)
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). The Fund Expenditure Plan
states the risk map will be used by Water Boards staff to help prioritize areas
for available SAFER funding. The map is not intended to estimate or predict
water quality contaminant at any given location.</span></p>

several reference layers including public water system boundaries, legislative
boundaries, CalEnviroScreen 4.0 scores from OEHHA and groundwater level
