Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset contains a buffered polygon area digitized from the 1:1 000 000 scale Surficial Geology Map of Saskatchewan (1997) that references glaciofluvial material known to be vulnerable to surface and ground water contaminants. The sensitive nature of the area is known by Ministry staff and Government agencies due to concerns brought forward by local residents. Currently, the polygon spans from ranges 34 West of the 1</SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>st</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN> Meridian – 20 West of the 2</SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>nd</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN> Meridian, and from the international border with the U.S.A to township 11 in southeast Saskatchewan which contains identified areas with additional obligations cited in Directive PNG005: Casing and Cementing Requirements, Appendix 1. The polygon was created to be used in preliminary screening tools when licensing new Ministry infrastructure and for land analysis purposes. End-users should review the Use Limitation outlined below and understand that the buffered polygon is an interpretive boundary and does not guarantee to fully contain or exclude any specific surface material or groundwater resources. The extent was created as a file geodatabase polygon feature class and output for public distribution.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
