GCSM - Bedrock Depth
1987-01-02
This layer consists of a 1:250,000-scale polygon coverage containing depth-to-bedrock estimates used in preparing the GCSM for Wisconsin. The primary source for this data layer is a 1973 map at 1:1,000,000 scale published by the WGNHS and USGS. Where more recent information was available, the USGS updated the 50-foot and 100-foot contours of the depth-to-bedrock map at a scale of 1:250,000. Soil associations data, and other information,were used to add a 5-foot contour to the data layer.<div><br /></div><div><p><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>See the usage documentation (</span><a href='https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e1e89ae505594459a46407f1daf4ad5d' target='_blank'>https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e1e89ae505594459a46407f1daf4ad5d</a><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>) and the Full report (</span><a href='https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fd4d0c43abc04b4ab915586d9a0e89dd' target='_blank'>https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=fd4d0c43abc04b4ab915586d9a0e89dd</a><span style='font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;'>) for more information.</span><br /></p></div>

The GCSM is derived from generalized statewide information at small scales and cannot be used for any site-specific purposes. For example, siting waste disposal facilities or locating an industry requires site-specific, geologic and hydrogeologic information, and cannot be made based on the composite groundwater contamination susceptibility map. The GCSM does not consider the individual characteristics of individual contaminants or the subsurface release of contaminants. That is, it only considers the ability of water to move from the land surface to the water table. The model is intended for use by state agencies and others when deciding where they should more closely study impacts on groundwater. Local officials can also use the GCSM in determining whether their region needs to be studied in more detail for potential groundwater problems.<div><br /></div><div><p style='margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in;'><span style='font-size:medium; color:rgb(50, 49, 48); font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;'>This data is for informational purposes only and may not have been prepared for or be suitable for legal, engineering or surveying purposes.
