Classification Exception Areas-Well Restriction Areas for New Jersey

The CEA (Polygon) coverage was developed to provide information regarding the spatial extent of groundwater contamination within designated Classification Exception Areas (CEAs) and Well Restriction Areas (WRAs). This data, in its geographic format, is intended to provide information to the public regarding areas of contaminated groundwater to aid in new well placement and installation. A public understanding of where groundwater is known to be contaminated can help prevent inappropriate well placement, preventing potential health risks and can minimize unintended contaminant plume migration.
