Geographic Information System (GIS) methodology has been developed to evaluate and map the "contamination potential" or aquifer sensitivity of the upper groundwater flow system at DOE’s Savannah River Site in southwestern South Carolina. The integration of diverse subsurface and soils information is possible using a stack-unit mapping approach. This is the first time that a stack-unit mapping approach, developed in the Midwest for mapping glacial sediments, has been used to delineate geologic materials in a coastal plain environment
