Geographic information system (GIS) mapping of geologic sensitivity, defined in this study as the sensitivity of groundwater contamination based on geologic units, and modeling groundwater flow are important aids in establishing protocols for groundwater monitoring, determining guidelines for proper handling of hazardous substances, siting future facilities, emergency response, and designing remediation plans for the clean up of toxic spills. GIS technology is utilized to develop maps for the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Beaufort, South Carolina, USA of (1) the subsurface geology in three dimensions from land surface to the top of the Floridan aquifer, a regionally extensive and highly productive groundwater resource, (2) derivative geologic sensitivity/groundwater contamination potential, and (3) hydrogeology and groundwater flow. Soils data are also incorporated into the model to better understand how soil drainage enhanc... |
