Service Description: This polygon feature layer represents a statewide screening map of shallow groundwater sensitivity to contamination in Illinois. The map predicts the potential for movement of contaminants from the land surface into shallow groundwater using intrinsic soil and geologic characteristics, including soil leaching or water-flux characteristics and the depth to the uppermost aquifer. The layer was prepared for the Illinois Nature Preserves vulnerability assessment described by Locke et al. (1997), which used the sensitivity map to screen Illinois nature preserves and surrounding areas for potential groundwater contamination concerns.
