Summary

Data used to model and map manganese concentrations in groundwater in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP) aquifer system, eastern USA, are documented in this data release. The model predicts manganese concentration within four classes and is based on concentration data from 4492 wells. The well data were compiled from U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Suffolk County Water Authority (Suffolk County, New York), and state agency sources. The four concentration classes are based on guidelines for drinking water quality: below detection (class 1, less than 10 micrograms per liter (ug/L)); detected but less than the aesthetic guideline of 50 ug/L (class 2); greater than the aesthetic guideline but less [...]

Purpose

These data were compiled to model and map manganese concentration in the NACP aquifer system. Manganese is an emerging health concern and a common nuisance contaminant in groundwater sources of drinking water. The NACP aquifer system is an important water supply source, providing drinking water in a densely populated region along the eastern coast of the United States. Manganese is the most frequently occurring geogenic contaminant in the aquifer system. Models and maps of manganese concentrations in the NACP aquifer system can be used to identify areas where concentrations may be greatest and where future monitoring may be prioritized.
