Public-Awareness <br />Considerations <br />For statutory notice requirements, see the <br />Statutory Notification Requirements section of <br />this document on page 3. A city should <br />consider whether it prefers that additional <br />parties, such as landowners or other potential <br />stakeholders, be notified of the proposed <br />MSD. <br />AN EXAMPLE <br />Figure 4 illustrates an example MSD. The figure <br />is of a three-dimensional cross-section of a slice <br />into the ground beneath property in a city. In the <br />cross-section, three different groundwater zones <br />are depicted. The box labeled "MSD Property" <br />depicts the lateral and vertical boundaries of the <br />MSD. <br />In this example, only Groundwater Zone 1 is <br />contaminated. An MSD can only be applied to <br />existing contaminated groundwater zones, not <br />to clean or uncontaminated groundwater zones. <br />Therefore, as indicated by the vertical boundary <br />of the box, only Groundwater Zone 1 is <br />included in the MSD. The portion of <br />Groundwater Zone 1 within the MSD boundary <br />is deemed the "designated groundwater" for the <br />MSD and as such is prohibited from current <br />and future use as potable water. <br />Groundwater Zones 2 and 3 are not <br />contaminated, and therefore they are not <br />eligible for inclusion in the MSD. In this <br />example, only Groundwater Zone 1 is <br />prohibited as a potable water supply. Unless <br />there is a potable-water well within one-half <br />mile of that MSD boundary, the groundwater <br />contamination will not be investigated or <br />remediated for potable-water use. <br />GI-326 Page 9 <br />Figure 4.
