Wellhead <br />Protection Area <br />The fundamental goal of wellhead protection (WHP) is to prevent <br />contaminants from entering public wells. To accomplish this goal, public <br />well owners must first determine where the water supplying their well(s) is <br />coming from—this area is called the WHP area (WHPA). It can also be <br />thought of as the recharge area to the public well and is ultimately the area <br />to be managed by the public water supplier, as identified in the WHP plan. <br />Acronyms and <br />Initialisms <br />CFS - Cubic Feet per Second <br />DNR - Department of Natural Resources (of Minnesota) <br />DWSMA - Drinking Water Supply Management Area <br />GPCD - Gallons per Capita (Person) per Day <br />GPM - Gallons per Minute <br />LPA - Local Planning Assistance department of the Metropolitan Council <br />MAWSAC - Metropolitan Area Water Supply Advisory Committee <br />MCES - Metropolitan Council Environmental Services division <br />MDNR - Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />MDA - Minnesota Department of Agriculture <br />MDH - Minnesota Department of Health <br />MGD - Million Gallons per Day <br />MPCA- Minnesota Pollution Control Agency <br />PCA- Pollution Control Agency (of Minnesota) <br />PWS - Public Water System <br />SDWA - Safe Drinking Water Act <br />SWBCA - Special Well and Boring Construction Area <br />WHPA-Wellhead Protection Area <br />WHPP - Wellhead Protection Plan <br />COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />
