EPA Region 4 Sole Source Aquifer Project Review Form - Section A: Project Description

Welcome to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4’s Sole Source Aquifer (SSA) project review form. The EPA SSA Protection Program is authorized by section 1424(e) of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 201, 300 et. Seq., and 21 U.S.C. 349). Under the SSA Protection Program, EPA reviews proposed projects that will both: 1) be located within the SSA project review area and; 2) receive federal financial assistance. The review area may include the area overlying the SSA, its recharge zone, and source areas of streams that flow into the SSA's recharge zone. The EPA's review is intended to determine any possible contamination to the SSA from submitted projects. Your accurate submission of information will help us determine any possible contamination.

Please complete this form in its entirety and as well as the two-part submission process. Keep the email received at the end of submission process for your records. This email will serve as the official record of the decision and may be required by the federal agency funding your project. Thank you.
