This map is very preliminary and should be used for planningpurposes only. Aquifer susceptibility was mapped in support ofKittitas County's Critical Areas update. Aquifer susceptibility wasestimated using Washington Department of Land and NaturalResources surficifal geology (2010), Ecology well data (2010) andNRCS soils (2003) information as well as data from USGS onaquifers (2003) and PRISM precipitation data (2000). The methodsused were generally consistent with the Department of Ecology's"Guidelines for Estabilshing Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas"(Cook, 2002).High = structural fill basin aquifer + more extensive alluvial deposits+ higher shallow well density.Medium = Few shallow wells + bedrock aquifer + >15"/yearprecipitation based on PRISM.Low = Low well density + bedrock aquifer + <15"/year precipitationbased on PRISM.The estimated depth to water surface was created usinginterpolation methods in ArcGIS. We used the Ecology wells (welldepth field) to create the surface layer.
