To accelerate production of County Geologic Atlases and the installation and testing of Mt. Simon aquifer monitoring wells for groundwater protection and wise use.
Accelerate production of geologic (Part A) portions of County Geologic Atlases, which describe aquifer location, size, boundaries, and vulnerability to support wise use and protection of groundwater and other resources.
DNR works with the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) to develop County Geologic Atlases to convey geologic and hydrogeologic information and interpretations to government units at all levels, but particularly to local governments. The MGS focuses on geology (Part A reports) and DNR focuses on groundwater (Part B reports).
