INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE Circular 12D is the fourth in a continuing series of annual sum-
maries of ground-water quality and availability in Georgia. This report is to be used by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to assess the effectiveness of its ground-water management activities. EPD is the principal State agency responsible for management of ground-water quality and allocation. The Division's management activities include issuance of permits for large ground-water withdrawals, mining, wastewater discharges, sanitary landfills, and facilities that treat, store, and/or dispose of hazardous materials. EPD also monitors potential sources of ground-water pollution and ambient ground-water conditions.
Ground-water quality data in this report were derived from the State's Ground-Water Monitoring Network, maintained by the Georgia Geologic Survey Branch of EPD. Ground-water use data were obtained from the State's Water Use Program, a cooperative project of the Georgia Geologic Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey. This summary was prepared through the Georgia Ground-Water Management Program, a project of EPD, funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for the purpose of coordinating ground-water related management activities throughout the State.
Ground-water levels in Georgia are monitored through a cooperative project of the Georgia Geologic Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey. Water level trends are summarized annually as Open-File Reports of the U.S. Geological Survey. U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 88-323 (Joiner and others, 1988) presents ground-water data for 1987.

HYDROGEOLOGIC PROVINCES OF GEORGIA The hydrogeologic provinces in Georgia are defined by their gener-
al geologic properties. They are the Coastal Plain Province of southern Georgia, the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Province occupying most of northern Georgia, and the Valley and Ridge/Cumberland Plateau Province of northwestern Georgia. Ground water in the Coastal Plain Province flows through interconnected granular pores of the host rocks and through solution-enlarged voids. Fractures and joints provide the permeability for ground-water flow in the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Province. The permeable features of the Valley and Ridge/Cumberland Plateau Province are principally fractures, joints, and solution voids. Intergranular porosity is also important in places.
Georgia's Coastal Plain Province is underlain by a wedge of loosely consolidated sediments that gently dip and thicken to the south and east. The oldest, outcropping, sedimentary formations (Cretaceous) are exposed along the Fall Line, which is the northern limit of the Coastal Plain Province. Successively younger formations occur at the surface to the south and east.
The Coastal Plain contains the State's major confined (artesian) aquifers. Confined aquifers are those which are overlain by a layer of impermeable material and contain water at greater-than-atmospheric pressures. Water enters confined aquifers 1n their updip outcrop areas where the permeable rocks of the aquifer are exposed. Ground-water flow through these aquifers is generally to the south and east, in the direction of dip of the the rocks.
The seven major confined aquifers in the Coastal Plain range in age from Cretaceous to Miocene. The thickness and extent of these aquifers are determined by horizontal and vertical changes in the permeability of the rock units that form them and by the quality of ground water they contain. Several aquifers may be present in a single geographic area, forming a vertical 'stack.'

~e Cretaceous and Jacksonian aquifer systems (primarily sands) are commonly used as a source of drinking water within a 35-mile wide band that lies adjacent to and south of the Fall Line. Southwestern Georgia relies on three vertically stacked aquifers (sands and limestones) for drinking-water supplies: the Providence, Clayton, and Claiborne aquifer systems. A large area of south-central and southeastern Georgia is served by the Floridan aquifer system (mainly limestone). The Miocene aquifer system (sands and limestones) is the principal, 'shallow,' unconfined aquifer system occurring in the broad area underlain by the Floridan aquifer system. It becomes confined in the coastal counties and locally in the Grady-Thomas-Brooks-Lowndes Counties area.
Crystalline rocks of metamorphic and igneous origin (primarily Paleozoic) underly the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Province. The principal water-bearing features are fractures and joints in the rock and the overlying soil/saprolite horizons. Thick soils and saprolites are often important as the 'reservoir' to the water-bearing fracture/joint systems. Ground-water flow is typically directed from local highlands towards discharge areas along streams. However, during prolonged dry periods or in the vicinity of heavy pumpage, ground water may flow from the streams into the fracture/joint systems.
The Valley and Ridge/Cumberland Plateau Province is underlain by consolidated Paleozoic sedimentary formations. Dolostones and limestones of the Knox Group are the principal aquifers where they occur in the axes of broad valleys. Ground-water and surface-water systems are locally closely interconnected. The greater permeabilities of thick carbonate sections in this Province, in part due to solution-enlarged joints, permit development of more extensive aquifer systems than in the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Province.
1-3

In addition to geologic setting, ground-water quality and availability are also functions of the proximity of areas of recharge and discharge. Water levels and quality vary widely in response to rainfall, river/reservoir levels, evapotranspiration, and land use in recharge areas where surface water enters the ground~water flow system. Water availability and quality is relatively stable in downflow discharge areas, in contrast, but the waters tend to be more mineralized.

GROUND-WATER QUALITY

Experience has shown that the quality of shallow ground water is

generally suitable for domestic use throughout the State. Iron and

manganese are the only constituents that commonly occur in concentra-

tions higher than those allowed by State drinking-water standards.

These naturally occurring metal cations can cause staining of objects

but do not pose a health risk. Both iron and manganese can be readily

removed during the treatment process.

No areally extensive occurrences of polluted or excessively con-

taminated ground waters are known from north Georgia. Waters contain-

ing high levels of total dissolved solids (salt water) are present in

the deepest confined aquifers underlying most of south Georgia and 1n

the lower section of the Floridan aquifer system along the coast.

Shallower aquifers, with acceptable water quality, are present almost

everywhere in the Coastal Plain.

Both ground-water quality and availability are restricted in the

Gulf Trough area of south Georgia. The Gulf Trough is a linear hydro-

geologic anomaly that extends from southwest Decatur County through

central Bulloch County. Naturally occurring ground-water contaminants

associated with the Gulf Trough area include barium, sulfate, and

radionuclides.

These contaminants can be eliminated from drinking 1-4

water., 1n most cases, by proper well construction (i.e. casing off certain geologic horizons) or treatment.
EPD has identified critical-use areas at Savannah and Brunswick where increased withdrawals could affect ground-water quality. Ground-water withdrawals for municipal and industrial use have created large cones of depression in the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer system at Savannah and Brunswick and in other places in the coastal counties. These cones of depression increase the potential for contamination from deeply buried brines as well as ocean water. Both the Savannah and Brunswick areas are being monitored by EPD with a dense network of monitoring wells. Except for a small area on the Brunswick Peninsula, where upconing of salt water apparently has been ongoing for several decades, EPD's monitoring shows no evidence of further upconing or encroachment in coastal Georgia.
Increased use of ground water for agricultural irrigation in the Dougherty Plain and adjacent Sand Hills area of southwestern Georgia will potentially increase hydraulic gradients through the unsaturated, or vadose, zone. Agricultural chemicals may not be effectively attenuated in such a situation because of increased flow rates in the vadose zone. Ground-water quality monitoring by EPD in the Dougherty Plain has not detected any traces of pesticides. However, more shallow monitoring wells in agricultural areas were added to the Monitoring Network in 1988.

GROUND-WATER USE IN GEORGIA, 1987
INTRODUCTION Ground water is an abundant cnatural resource in Georgia, espe-
cially in the Coastal Plain Province. Ground water is the source of over 18% of all fresh water used in the State and 47% of all offstream use. Recharge to the ground-water system in Georgia is derived almost entirely from precipitation. The average annual precipitation is about 50 inches state-wide. It is estimated that 88% of rainfall runs off to streams or is lost to evapotranspiration, and about 12% enters the ground-water system as recharge (Carter and Stiles, 1983). A recent history of precipitation at specific sites across the State, along with the departure from normal for 1987, is given in Table 2-1. From this limited data, it is apparent that much of the State has suffered from a drought since 1986.
Estimated ground-water withdrawals for 1987 totaled 1,229 million gallons per day (Mgal/day), an increase of slightly over 1% from the reported figure of 1,215 Mgal/day for 1986. Industrial ground-water withdrawals increased 5% from 349 Mgal/day in 1986 to 365 Mgal/day in 1987. Due to the prolonged drought, irrigation withdrawals remained high at 494 Mgal/day. Public supply withdrawals were 218 Mgal/day, showing no increase from 1986. Other withdrawals, including selfsupplied domestic, commercial, livestock, and thermoelectric uses, dropped slightly from 154 Mgal/day 1.n 1986 to 152 Mgal/day in 1987 (Figure 2-1). Irrigation remained the largest use category at 40.2% of all ground water withdrawn, whereas industrial withdrawals totaled 29.7%, public supply 17.7%, and other uses 12.4%.

For this report, permitted ground-water use was calculated from withdrawal amounts reported by users to the Water Resources Management Branch of Georgia's Environmental Protection Division (EPD). Permitted users are those who use 100,000 gallons or more per day. Small industries, couununities, and subdivisions that supply water for at least 25 people or that have a minimum of 5 hookups must also obtain permits. Irrigation estimates were calculated using the Cooperative Extension Service's 1986 Irrigation Survey. Estimates for withdrawals by nonpermitted users (such as livestock and self-supplied domestic uses) were based on user surveys, population figures, and previous studies by the Georgia Water Use Program.
GROUND-WATER USE IN GEORGIA The largest ground-water users are con<:entrated in the Coastal
Plain Province of south Georgia (Figure 2-2), wher~ the State's most productive aquifers are located. Farming is essential to the economy of the counties in the southwestern corner of the State, where irrigation use is highest. Along Georgia's coast, the paper and chemical industries are the largest ground-water users. In central Georgia, kaolin mining (i.e., mainly mine dewatering) is the largest ground-water use. Along with the industries, there are major population centers where public supply constitutes large withdrawals. A summary of permitted ground-water use by county 1s given in Table A-1, and estimated ground-water use by county for 1987 is presented in Table A-2 of Appendix A.

GROUND-WATER USE FOR PUBLIC SUPPLY The public supply category includes water withdrawn by public and
private water suppliers and delivered to users. Total water withdrawn by public suppliers in Georgia for 1987 was estimated to be 880 Mgal/ day, 25% of which was ground water. Data collected as of fall 1988, indicates that permitted public suppliers withdrew 156 Mgal/day in 1987. However, these data are incomplete, and the true withdrawal rate is expected to be close to the reported total for 1986 of 176 Mgal/day. A summary of permitted public supply withdrawals is presented in Table A-3. The 1987 estimated ground-water withdrawal rate for public supply was 218 Mgal/day, which includes water used by the permitted public suppliers and by smaller systems such as mobile home parks, trailer parks, and subdivisions. The counties withdrawing the largest amounts of ground water for public supply are scattered throughout the Coastal Plain Province (Figure 2-3). The high withdrawal rates in the counties correspond to the highly populated cities of Augusta, Warner Robins, Albany, Tifton, Thomasville, Valdosta, Brunswick, Savannah, and Douglas.
GROUND-WATER USE FOR INDUSTRY AND MINING Self-supplied industrial and mining withdrawals were estimated at
365 Mgal/day for 1987, an increase of almost Si over the 349 Mgal/day
reported for 1986. Industrial withdrawals totaled 29.7% of all ground water withdrawn in 1987. Permitted industries and mines withdrew 298 Mgal/day (Table A-4). The counties having the largest ground-water withdrawals for industry are scattered throughout the Coastal Plain (Figure 2-4), except for Chattooga County in the northwest, which has a large textile industry. The high-use counties along Georgia's

coastline are supported by the paper and chemical industries, while the counties in central Georgia, along the Fall Line, are dependent on kaolin mining. The industries that withdrew the most ground water in 1987 are paper production (168 Mgal/day), chemicals production (117 Mgal/day), and mining/mineral production (47.5 Mgal/day) (Figure 2-5).
GROUND-WATER USE FOR IRRIGATION Irrigation constitutes the largest ground-water use in the State,
using 494 Mgal/day or 40.2% of all ground water withdrawn in 1987. The irrigation estimates for 1987 are based on the Cooperative Extension Service's (CES) biannual Irrigation Survey (unpublished data), last conducted in 1986. A brief summary of estimated irrigation withdrawals is presented in Table A-5. The CES estimated that a total of 1,120,386 acres of crops were being irrigated in the State in 1986, with 73.1% of all irrigation occurring in the southwestern district of the State (Figure 2-6). The total number of irrigation systems in use in 1986 was 11,886, with ground water supplying 39% of the systems. In 1986, 114 new irrigation wells were added in for a total of 4,628 state-wide.
Continuing periods of drought through 1987 resulted in the Georgia General Assembly recognizing the need to regulate agricultural water users, who are the largest water users in the State. Beginning July 1, 1988, a permit is required for all ground-water and surfacewater withdrawals for agricultural uses of 100,000 gallons or more per day on a monthly average. EPD will issue and regulate the permits.

OTHER WATER-USE CATEGORIES Other water-use categories include self-supplied domestic, com-
mercial, livestock, and thermoelectric uses. These withdrawals totaled 12.4% of all ground-water withdrawals in 1987, approximately 152 Mgal/day.
Self-supplied domestic use is water used for normal household purposes, virtually all of which is supplied by wells and springs. Self-supplied domestic use was estimated to be 99 Mgal/day in 1985. This estimate is equal to the self-supplied population multiplied by 75 gallons/day (average per capita domestic use). Estimates for 1987 are not available but are expected to be similar to 1985.
Commercial users include restaurants, hotels, retail stores and other businesses, government and military facilities, prisons, schools, hospitals, recreational facilities, and others. For 1987, ground-water withdrawals by commercial users were estimated at 20.8 Mgal/day, with permitted users withdrawing 6.5 Mgal/day (Table A-6) and nonpermitted users withdrawing an estimated 14.3 Mgal/day. Most commercial users obtain their water from public water systems.
Thermoelectric power generation uses only a very small amount of ground water, primarily for boiler make-up water and sanitary supply in the power plants. Ground-water withdrawals for thermoelectric power generation totaled 6.3 Mgal/day in 1987 (Table A-7).
GROUND-WATER USE BY HYDROLOGIC UNIT The state of Georgia is divided into 9 major hydrologic units, or
drainage basins, and 52 sub-basins (Figure 2-7). Drainage basins are catchment areas for precipitation. Because precipitation is the principal source of recharge to the ground-water system, it l.S

important to examine ground-water use by hydrologic units. EPD has determined maximum withdrawal rates for each river basin and, when these limits are exceeded, water quality and availability for all users in a particular basin may be affected. Permitted ground-water use by hydrologic unit is presented in Table A-8 and Figure 2-8.
GROUND-WATER USE BY AQUIFER Most ground water is withdrawn from the s1x principal aquifers in
the State. These are the Paleozoic aquifers and the crystalline rock aquifers of north Georgia, and the Cretaceous aquifer system, the Clayton aquifer system, the Claiborne aquifer system, and the Floridan aquifer system of south Georgia (Figure 2-9).
Accurate estimates of total ground-water use by aquifer are difficult because locations and depths for all wells in the State are not available. However, well locations and depths for permitted groundwater users are available. A summary of estimates of permitted ground-water use by aquifer, exclusive of self-supplied domestic and other unpermitted uses, follows and is also presented in Table A-9.
The Floridan aquifer system is the most heavily utilized in the State, supplying 73.7% of all permitted ground-water use. In 1987, 344.1 Mgal/day was pumped from this aquifer by permitted ground-water users.
The Cretaceous aquifer system is the second most productive aquifer in the State, supplying ground water for most of the northern onethird of the Coastal Plain. The Cretaceous aquifer system supplied 17.9% of permitted ground-water use in 1987, with 83.6 Mgal/day pumped.

The Clayton and Claiborne aquifer systems are a primary source of ground water for both irrigation and public water supply in southwestern Georgia. However, irrigation water use information for 1987 is incomplete, which makes it difficult to estimate total ground-water use in these aquifer systems. In addition to irrigation use, the Claiborne aquifer system supplied 3.1% of all permitted ground-water use, with 14.8 Mgal/day pumped. The Clayton aquifer system supplied 12.8 Mgal/day, or 2.7% of permitted ground-water use.
Ground water in the Paleozoic aquifers supplied 8.6 Mga1/day, or 1.9% of permitted ground-water use, and the crystalline rock aquifers supplied 3.1 Mga1/day, or 0.7% of permitted use. Most water used in the northern portion of the State is supplied from surface-water sources.

GROUND-WATER QUALITY IN GEORGIA, 1987
GEORGIA GROUND-WATER MONITORING NETWORK The Ground-Water Monitoring Network is maintained by the Georgia
Geologic Survey as an element of the State's Ground-Water Management Program. Ambient ground-water quality monitoring serves to detect new point sources of ground-water pollution in a timely manner and to asseas the cumulative effect of non-point sources such as agricultural chemicals. Analyses are available for water samples collected during 1987 from 123 wells and three springs {Appendix B). These sample stations represent all seven major aquifer systems of the Coastal Plain Province and the unconfined ground-water systems of the Piedmont/Blue Ridge Province and the Valley and Ridge/Cumberland Plateau Province (Table 3-1).
Monitoring stations are located in three critical areas: (a) recharge areas of the State's primary aquifers, {b) other areas of potential pollution related to regional activities (agricultural and industrial areas), and {c) areas of significant ground-water use.
The majority of Monitoring Network sampling stations are municipal and industrial wells that have reliable well-construction data. Monitoring wells maintained jointly by the Georgia Geologic Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey also are used in specific areas where the State's aquifers are recognized to be susceptible to contamination or pollution {for example, the Dougherty Plain of southwestern Georgia and the State's coastal area). Because these wells are completed in specific permeable zones of an aquifer, analyses from several of the wells can be used to assess ambient quality of water throughout an aquifer system.

It should be noted that the analyses of water from the limited number of monitoring stations define the ground-water quality only in those areas sampled and only of the aquifers from which the wells receive ground water. Caution should be exercised in drawing broad conelusions and applying any results reported in this study to those ground waters not being monitored.
Ground water from all monitoring stations is tested for parameters included in the Monitoring Network's standard analysis: pH, specific conductivity, chloride, sulfate, nitrite/nitrate, twelve common pesticide and industrial organic compounds, and thirty metals (Table 3-2). Where regional land-use activities have the potential to affect ground-water quality in the vicinity of a monitoring station, additional parameters are tested. These additional chemical screens are listed in Appendix B. The significance of the common major constituents of a water quality analysis is summarized in Table 3-3.
Sampling procedures are adapted from techniques used by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All analyses, except for some contracted organic chemicals screens, are performed by EPD laboratories. Data for the Ground-Water Monitoring Network are constantly updated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's STORET computer data management system.

PARAMETER(S)
pH (Hydrogen ion concentration)

SIGNIFICANCE
pH is a measure of the concentration of the hydrogen ion. Values of pH less than 7. 0 denote acidity and values greater than 7.0 indicate alkalinity. Corrosiveness of water generally increases with decreasing pH. However, excessively alkaline waters may also attack metals. A pH range between 6.0 and 8.5 is considered acceptable.

Calcium and magnesium*
Sodium and potassium* Iron and manganese Sulfate Chloride Nitrite/nitrate

Calcium and magnesium cause most of the hardness of water. liard water consumes soap before a lather will form and deposits scale 1n boilers, water heaters, and pipes. Hardness is reported in terms of equivalent calcium carbonate, The
hardness of a water can be estimated by multiplying the parts per million of calcium by 2.5 and that of magnesium by 4.1.

Sodium and potassium have little effect on the use of water for most domestic purposes. Large
amounts give a salty taste when combined with chloride. A high sodium ratio may limit the use
of water for irrigation.

More than 300 parts per billion of iron stains
objects red or reddish brown and more than 50 parts per billion of manganese stains objects black. Larger quantities cause unpleasant taste and favor growth of iron bacteria but do not endanger health.

Sulfate in hard water increases the formation of scale in boilers. In large amounts, sulfate in
combination with other ions imparts a bitter taste to water. Concentrations above 250 parts
per million may have a laxative effect, but 500 parts per mill1on is considered safe.

Chloride salts in excess of 100 parts per million give a salty taste to water. Large quanti-
ties make the water corrosive. Water that contains excessive amounts of chloride is not suit-
able for irrigation. It is reconnnended that chloride content should not exceed 250 parts per million.

Concentrations much greater than the local aver-
age may suggest pollution. Excessive amounts of
nitrogen in drinking or formula water of infants may cause a type of methemoglobinemia ("blue ba-
bies"). Nitrite/nitrate nitrogen in concentrations greater than 10 parts per million is considered to be a health hazard.

*Major alkali metals present in most ground waters.

CRETACEOUS AQUIFER SYSTEM The Cretaceous aquifer system 1s a complex group of interconnected
aquifer subsystems consisting of the upper Cretaceous sands of the Coastal Plain Province. These sands form an extensive outcrop/recharge area immediately south of the Fall Line in west-central Georgia. Outcrops are restricted to valley bottoms in the northeastern Coastal Plain. Five distinct subsystems of the Cretaceous aquifer system, including the Providence aquifer system, are recognized west of the Ocmulgee River (Pollard and Vorhis, 1980) and merge into three subsystems to the east (Clarke and others, 1985). Aquifer sands thicken southward from the Fall Line, where they pinch out against crystalline Piedmont rocks, to a sequence of sand and clay approximately 2,000 feet thick at the southern limits of the main aquifer-use area. Recharge to the Cretaceous aquifer system is primarily derived from rainfall infiltration in the outcrop areas. Leakage from adjacent members of the aquifer system provides significant recharge in downdip areas.
Water quality of the Cretaceous aquifer system, excluding the Providence aquifer system which is treated separately in this report, was monitored in 19 wells (Figure 3-1 and Table 3-4). Sixteen wells were located in or adjacent to outcrop and recharge areas extending across the State. Three wells were in downdip areas 1n Burke and Laurens Counties. A total of 25 samples were collected in 1987.
Water of the outcrop area wells was typically acidic to the point of being corrosive and soft. Iron levels were in excess of drinkingwater limits in water from only three of the wells. The three outcrop area wells, adjacent to the Chattahoochee River, yielded basic and soft waters with a sodium content of 22.6 to 79.6 parts per million. Water from two of these wells was unsuitable for irrigation because of the
3-6

sodium concentrations. Water from the downdip wells ranged from acidic to basic with high iron and manganese levels in water from two of the three wells. Aluminum, barium, copper, strontium, and zinc, in addition to the major alkali metals: calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium, were the other common metallic cations in the Cretaceous aquifer water samples.
Chloride and sulfate levels were low, less than 15 parts per million, in all samples. Chloride concentrations were highest in water from wells in the Chattahoochee River area. Sulfate levels of the samples were generally higher in downdip areas. Nitrite/nitrate concentrations were detectable in water from eleven of the outcrop-area wells and significantly above average, 0.50 to 1.10 parts per million, in samples from three of these wells. Nitrite/nitrate values in the 1987 samples were within the range of values measured in samples collected during the previous three years. Chloroform and related compounds were detected in water from wells located in Irwinton, Wilkinson County, and Buena Vista, Marion County. A follow-up investigation at Buena Vista revealed the source of the chloroform to be treated water that was used in the pump lubrication system.

PROVIDENCE AQUIFER SYSTEM The Providence aquifer system of southwestern Georgia consists of
sand and coquina limestone of the upper Cretaceous Providence Formation. Outcrops of the aquifer system extend from northern Clay and Quitman Counties through eastern Houston County. In its updip extent, the aquifer system thickens both to the east and to the west of a broad area of less-than-100-feet-thickness adjacent to the Flint River. Centers of greater-than-300-feet-thickness are known in Pulaski County and projected in the Baker-Calhoun-Early Counties area (Clarke and others, 1983).
Recharge from rainfall infiltration takes place in outcrop areas and, east of the Flint River, in adjacent covered areas where the aquifer is overlain by permeable sand units. The permeable Providence Formation-Clayton Formation interval forms a single aquifer east of the Flint River (Clarke and others, 1983) that is recognized as the Dublin aquifer system to the east of the Ocmulgee River (Clarke and others, 1985). The Chattahoochee River forms the western discharge boundary for this flow system in Georgia.
Water quality in the Providence aquifer system was monitored in one outcrop-area well and, where the system is confined, in two updiparea wells and one downdip-area well (Figure 3-2 and Table 3-5). Each well was sampled once. Water from the updip wells was slightly acidic and soft in the outcrop- area well and basic and soft to moderately hard in the confined-area wells. Sodium concentrations ~n water from two of the wells were too high for general irrigation use. Iron and manganese levels in water from all three updip wells were below drinking-water maximums. Water was basic and soft with an iron concentration that exceeded the drinking-water limit in the one downdip-area well. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and strontium were the only other metallic cations that were commonly detected. Chloride and sulfate concentrations were low in all samples, less that 12 parts per million. Nitrite/nitrate, in trace amounts, was present in water from two of the updip wells.

CLAYTON AQUIFER SYSTEM The Clayton aquifer system of southwestern Georgia is developed in
the middle limestone unit of the Paleocene Clayton Formation. Limestones and calcareous sands of the Clayton aquifer system crop out in a narrow belt extending from northeastern Clay County to southwestern Schley County. The aquifer thickness varies irrregularly, ranging from 50 feet near outcrop areas to 265 feet in southeastern Mitchell County (Clarke and others, 1984).
The Clayton aquifer system is recharged by rainfall infiltration in outcrop areas. Leakage from the underlying Providence aquifer system and the overlying Wilcox confining zone is significant in downdip areas (Clarke and others, 1984). Both the Flint River, to the east, and the Chattahoochee River, to the west, are areas of discharge for the aquifer system in its updip extent. East of the Ocmulgee River, the Clayton Formation and Providence Formation merge to form the Dublin aquifer system (Clarke and others, 1985).
Six wells, each sampled once in 1987, were used to monitor water quality of the Clayton aquifer system (Figure 3-3 and Table 3-6). These wells were located in the updip confined areas and 1n a downdip area. All water samples were basic and non-corrosive. The water was moderately hard to hard in the updip areas. Iron and manganese concentrations exceeded drinking-water limits in two of the samples. Barium, strontium, and zinc were the only other common metallic cations besides the major alkali metals. The water was soft with iron and manganese levels that were too high for domestic water uses in the one downdiparea well.
Chloride content was uniformly low in all samples. The levels of sulfate varied between 10 and 70 parts per million. Nitrite/nitrate concentrations were below detection limits in all samples. Excluding the Clay County well which was sampled for the Monitoring Network for the first time in 1987, the average concentrations of ions in water of the Clayton aquifer system have remained relatively constant for the period 1985 through 1987.

CLAIBORNE AQUIFER SYSTEM The Claiborne aquifer system of southwestern Georgia consists pri-
marily of sands of the middle Eocene Claiborne Group. The Claiborne aquifer system is generally restricted to the Tallahatta Formation in downdip areas where the Claiborne Group can be divided into an overlying Lisbon Formation and an underlying Tallahatta Formation, (McFadden and Perriello, 1983). Claiborne Group sands crop out in a belt extending from northern Early County through western Dooly County. The aquifer generally thickens from the outcrop area towards the southeast, attaining a thickness of almost 300 feet in eastern Dougherty County.
Recharge to the Claiborne aquifer system originates as rainfall infiltration in the outcrop area. Limited recharge may be derived in the vicinity of Albany in Dougherty County by leakage from the overlying Floridan aquifer system (Hicks and others, 1981). Surface drainages mark significant- discharge boundaries of the aquifer system; to the east, the Ocmulgee River, and to the west, the Chattahoochee River. East of the Ocmulgee River, the permeable Tallahatta unit is included in the Gordon aquifer system (Brooks and others, 1985).
Ground-water samples were collected from seven Claiborne aquifer system wells during 1987 (Figure 3-4 and Table 3-7). Three of the wells were located in outcrop areas and the remaining four were located in downdip areas where the aquifer is confined. Water from wells in the outcrop areas was acidic to the point of being corrosive and soft. Iron or manganese concentra- tiona exceeded drinking-water limits. Wells yielded water that was basic and moderately hard to hard in the downdip areas. The concentra- tion of iron was higher than the drinking-water limit only in water from one of the four downdip wells. No other metal cations exceeded drinking-water limits, although aluminium,
3-16

barium, copper, yttrium, and zinc were commonly detected in addition to the major alkali metals.
Chloride and sulfate concentrations in the Claiborne aquifer water samples were uniformly low. Further downdip, in Thomas County, water in the Claiborne aquifer system is highly mineralized (Sever, 1966). Nitrite/nitrate levels ranged between 1.42 to 6.75 parts per million in water from two outcrop-area wells and one downdip-area well. These concentrations were reduced slightly from the levels monitored in 1986.

JACKSONIAN AQUIFER SYSTEM The Jacksonian aquifer system of central and east-central Georgia
1s developed in sands of the Eocene Barnwell Group. Outcrops of sand and clay of the Barnwell Group extend from Macon and Peach Counties eastward to Burke and Richmond Counties. Aquifer sands of a northern clastic facies grade southward into less permeable silts and clays of a transition facies (Vincent, 1982). The water-bearing sands are relatively thin, generally ranging from ten to fifty feet in thickness. Limestones of a southern carbonate facies are included in the Floridan aquifer system.
Recharge to the Jacksonian aquifer system originates as rainfall infiltration where the sands crop out. Water availability is restricted to outcrop and adjacent areas. The Savannah River, to the east, and the Ocmulgee River, to the west, are discharge boundaries for the updip flow system.
Water quality in the Jacksonian aquifer system was monitored in five wells of the clastic facies and two wells of the transition facies. Three clastic-facies wells were sampled twice in 1987. Water from the aquifer system was generally basic and moderately hard to hard. Iron levels in all samples were below the maximum limits for drinking water. Manganese exceeded the limit only in water from one transition-facies well. The major alkali metals and barium, strontium, and zinc were the only other metallic cations commonly detected.
Chloride and sulfate levels were less than 15 parts per million 1n all samples. Nitrite/nitrate concentrations were higher, 0.50 to 3.70 parts per million, in water from two of the Burke County wells and the Johnson County well than in water from the other wells. Nitrite/nitrate levels have apparently increased through recent years in the two wells with a previous record of water quality.

FLORIDAN AQUIFER SYSTEM The Floridan aquifer system, formerly known as the Principal Arte-
sian aquifer system, consists of middle Eocene and Oligocene limestones and dolostones that underlie most of the Coastal Plain Province. Other units are included locally in the aquifer. The aquifer is a major source of ground water for much of its outcrop area . and throughout its downdip extent to the south and east. The upper water-bearing units of the Floridan are the Ocala Group and the Suwannee Limestone (Crews and Huddles tun, 1984). These limestones crop out in a karstic area in southwestern Georgia including the Dougherty Plain and adjacent areas along strike to the northeast. Floridan aquifer system carbonates form a single permeable zone in updip areas, but they are separable into two zones in downdip areas (Miller, 1986). From its updip limit, defined in the east by clays of the Barnwell Group, the aquifer thickens to well over 700 feet in coastal Georgia. Ground-water quality and availability are limited by a dense limestone-and-clay facies along the trend of the Gulf Trough (Kellam and Gorday, in press). The Gulf Trough is a linear depositional feature that extends from southwestern Decatur County through central Bulloch County.
Maps of the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer system indicate that the Dougherty Plain overlies a southwestward ground-water flow system, separate in Georgia from the dominant southeastward flow direction. Recharge in the Dougherty Plain isderived as rainfall infiltration in outcrop areas and leakage from extensive surficial aquifers (Hayes and others, 1983). The main body of the aquifer system, to the east, ~s recharged by leakage from the Jacksonian aquifer system and, adjacent to the Dougherty Plain, by rainfall infiltration in outcrop and shallowly-covered areas. Significant recharge occurs in the Brooks-Echols-Lowndes Counties area where upper confining beds are breached by the Withlacoochee River and numerous sinkholes (Krause, 1979).
3-23

Fifty wells were used to monitor water quality of the Floridan aquifer system (Figure 3-6 and Table 3-9). Water from seventeen wells was sampled twice in 1987. Most of the multiple samples were collected from wells that were located in the Dougherty Plain and in the vicinity of a recharge center in Lowndes County.
All Floridan water samples were non-corrosive, ranging from neutral to basic, and moderately hard to hard. Iron and manganese exceeded drinking-water limits in water from only four wells. Barium, strontium, and zinc, in concentrations below drinking-water limits in all but one well, were the only other metallic cations counnonly present other than the major alkali metals.
The average values of chloride and sulfate in the Floridan were slightly increased over those from previous years' monitoring. Typical chloride and sulfate concentrations in the water samples were below 10 parts per million, but chloride levels exceeded 100 parts per million in water from three coastal-area wells. Concentrations of sulfate were greater than 100 parts per million in water from ten wells that also were located primarily in coastal areas.
Average 1987 nitrite/nitrate values were higher in the Floridan than in previous years. Ten of the 12 wells that yielded water with nitrite/nitrate levels greater than 0.45 parts per million were located in the Dougherty Plain. Nitrite/nitrate concentrations were higher than any previously monitored levels in at least one of the 1987 samples from each of seven Dougherty Plain wells.
Traces of volatile organic compounds continued to be detected in water from a shallow well located in Albany, Dougherty County. EPD recently has completed investigations in Albany to attempt to define the extent of this pollution. Drinking-water supplies in Albany have not been impacted.

MIOCENE AQUIFER SYSTEM Much of east-central, central, and southern Georgia lies within
outcrop areas of the Miocene Al tamaha Format ion and Hawthorne Group. Miocene clays and sandy clays are thickest, more than 500 feet, in Wayne County. Discontinuous lens-shapeo bodies of sand, 50 to 80 feet thick, are the main permeable units (Watson, 198~). Two principal aquifer units are present in the coastal area {Joiner and others, 1988).
Recharge to the Miocene aquifer system is primarily derived as rainfall infiltration in the outcrop area. Areas of confinement exist along the coast and locally in Grady, Thomas, Brooks, and Lowndes Counties. Leakage from overlying surface aquifers into the Miocene aquifer system and, in some areas, from the underlying Floridan aquifer system is significant in the coastal counties {Watson, 1982).
Four wells, each sampled twice in 1987 were used to monitor water quality of the Miocene aquifer system (Figure 3-7 and Table 3-10). Water from the Lowndes County well was acidic to the point of being corrosive and soft. Iron was a minor constituent. The two other updip wells yielded water that was basic and moderately hard and had iron and manganese levels that exceeded drinking-water limits. Water from the coastal-area well was basic and hard with high concentrations of all major element constituents. Iron and manganese levels were less than maximum drinking-water limits. The major alkali metals and aluminum, barium, strontium, and zinc were the only other metallic cations common to the Miocene aquifer water samples.
Chloride and sulfate concentrations were low, below 50 parts per million, in all samples. Nitrite/nitrate levels were 2.95 and 3.10 parts per million in the two samples of water from the Lowndes County well. Measured values of nitrite/nitrate in water from this well have increased since 1985.

PIEDMONT/BLUE RIDGE UNCONFINED AQUIFERS

Georgia's Piedmont and Blue Ridge Physiographic Provinces are de-

veloped on metamorphic and igneous rocks that are predominately Paleo-

zoic. Soil and saprolite horizons and openings along fractures and

joints in the rocks are the major water-bearing features. Fracture

density and interconnection are the primary controls on the availabili-

ty of water from wells in these provinces. The permeability and thick-

ness of soils and shallow saprolite horizons determine the amount of

discharge that can be sustained. Both high-angle and near-horizontal

fractures and joints have been shown to be important controls on yields

of wells developed in crystalline rock (Cressler and others, 1983).

Sixteen wells in the Piedmont Province and four wells in the Blue

Ridge Province were used to monitor water quality (Figure 3-8 and Ta-

bles 3-11/3-12). Water samples were collected twice from four of the

Piedmont wells in 1987. All of these wells produced water from frac-

tures in crystalline rock.

Water from Monitoring Network wells in the crystalline rock aqui-

fers was generally non-corrosive and soft to moderately hard. Iron and

manganese levels exceeded drinking-water limits in water from ten of

the wells. Aluminum, barium, strontium, and zinc were common metallic

cations in addition to the major alkali metals.

Chloride and sulfate concentrations were below 30 parts per mil-

lion in all samples. Nitrite/nitrate was detected in water from 18 of

the wells. Seven of these wells yielded water with nitrite/nitrate

levels between 0. 75 and 3. 20 parts per million. The nitrite/nitrate

concentrations monitored in 1987 were in ranges established by earlier

analyses for most of the wells with a previous record of water quality.

Traces of volatile organic compounds were detected in samples from

wells in Fulton and Rockdale Counties. Traces of a phthalate compound

were present in the Fulton County water samples. These analyses indi-

cate a continuing occurrence documented by the Monitoring Network 1.n

previous years. Current drinking-water supplies are not compromised in

either area.

VALLEY AND RIDGE UNCONFINED AQUIFERS Low-yield unconfined aquifers are present in soils and regolith
across most of the Valley and Ridge Province of northwestern Georgia. Higher yielding wells and springs, suitable for municipal supplies, generally are restricted to valley bottoms where dolostones and limestones crop out. Most large ground-water withdrawals are derived from dolostones and limestones of the Cambro-Ordovician Knox Group.
Water quality in the Valley and Ridge unconfined aquifers was monitored in six wells and three springs located throughout the Province (Figure 3-9 and Table 3-13). Four of these wells and all three springs produced water from Knox Group carbonates. The other wells represent water quality in the Ordovician Chickamauga Group of Walker County and the Cambrian Shady Dolomite of Bartow County. Water from the CambroOrdovician dolostones and limestones was typically basic and hard. The two wells in northernmost Walker County yielded water that was relatively mineralized. Iron and manganese concentrations did not exceed drinking-water limits in most water samples. The major alkali metals and aluminum, barium, and strontium were common metallic cations.
Chloride and sulfate concentrations were typically low. Levels were higher in the north Walker County area with up to 83 parts per million sulfate and 53 parts per million chloride present. Nitrite/ nitrate was detected 1n water from eight of the monitoring stations at levels from 0.38 to 6.50 parts per million. The nitrite/nitrate levels measured in 1987 were generally the highest recorded in water samples from these stations since monitoring began in 1985.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Ground-water quality was monitored in 123 wells and three springs during 1987 and compared to previous annual analyses beginning in 1984 (Table 4-1). Water is sampled from the seven major aquifer systems of the Georgia Coastal Plain Province and the unconfined aquifer systems of the State's Piedmont, Blue Ridge, and Valley and Ridge Provinces. Water quality in many of the monitoring wells of south Georgia is representative of the water quality over large areas because Coastal Plain aquifer systems are laterally extensive and generally have only gradational facies changes. Ground-water flow systems in north Georgia are relatively small, usually constrained by the topography of surface drainage basins. Analyses of water from north Georgia wells represent the ranges of water-quality parameters that typically occur in the region. Limited rainfall in many areas of the State during 1987 provided a temporary break in an extended drought. Iron and aluminum concentrationa in ground water were commonly higher than those that were previously monitored from wells of the outcrop areas of south Georgia aquifer systems and most of north Georgia in response to the periodic recharge (Table 4-3A/C). Increased concentrations of nitrite/nitrates were monitored throughout most of the Dougherty Plain flow system of the Floridan aquifer system and in the Valley and Ridge unconfined aquifers. Both of these areas are characterized by sinkholes at the land surface and are underlain by shallow carbonate aquifers (Table 4-2). Although the sources of these nitrite/nitrates have not been established, it should be noted that karst settings are typically the most susceptible to pollution from common land-use practices. Continued increases in nitrite/nitrate levels in these areas, if they occur, could warn of similar trends to follow in the other aquifers of the State.
4-1

Nitrite/nitrate concentrations in all samples collected during 1987 were below the maximum limits established as State drinking-water standards.
No new occurrences of pollution due to synthetic organic chemicals were detected in wells of the Ground-Water Monitoring Network. Continued traces of pollutants in water from one well each in Dougherty, Fulton, and Rockdale Counties apparently reflect only local conditions that do not characterize the general ground-water quality.

APPENDIX A: GROUND-WATER USE DATA FOR GEORGIA, 1987
Annual ground-water and surface-water use data are collected or estimated each succeeding year for the ~eorgia Water Use Program. Complete use data are collected and reported every five years as one of the Information Circular series of the Georgia Geologic Survey. Estimated ground-water use for 1987 follows, based on data reported to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division through its environmental facilities permit programs and data taken from previous surveys. In general, all activities requiring ground-water withdrawals of 100,000 gallons or more per day are permitted. Examples of typical permitted uses are public supply, industry and mining, large commercial facilities, and thermoelectric power generation. Beginning in July, 1989, a permit is also required for all irrigation withdrawals greater than 100,000 gallons per day. Self-supplied domestic use does not require a permit. For this appendix, the abbreviation Mgal/day (million gallons per day) is used.

APPENDIX B: ANALYSES OF SAMPLES COLLECTED DURING 1987 FOR THE GEORGIA GROUND-WATER MONITORING NETWORK

All water quality samples that are collected for the Georgia

Ground-Water Monitoring Network are s~bjected to a Standard Analysis

which includes tests for five 'indicator' parameters, twelve common

pesticides and industrial chemicals, and thirty metals. Analyses for

additional parameters may be included for samples that are collected

from an area where a possibility of ground-water pollution exists due

to regional activities. These optional screens include tests for agri-

cultural chemicals, coal-tar creosote, phenols and anilines, and vola-

tile organic compounds (refer to Tables B-1 through B-4). Because

parameters other than the five 'indicators' and eight of the metals of

the Standard Analysis were detected very rarely, other parameters are

listed in the appendix only when they were detected.

For this appendix, the following abbreviations are used:

su

= standard units,

mg/L =milligrams per liter (parts per million),

ug/L =micrograms per liter (parts per billion), and umbo/em = micromhos per centimeter.
