Sole Source Aquifer Determination for

the Cloverly Aquifer (Dakota and

Lakota Sands)

Elk Mountain, Wyoming

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final determination.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 1424(e) of

the Safe Drinking Water Act, the

Regional Administrator in Region VIII of

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) has determined that the

Cloverly Aquifer, Dakota and Lakota

Sands at Elk Mountain, Wyoming and

the immediately adjacent recharge area

is the sole or principal source of

drinking water for a region. The region

is located in south central Wyoming

extending (in an irregular shape) from

the Town of Elk Mountain 3 miles east,

7 miles west along the Interstate 80

corridor and 18 miles to the south. The

entire area is within Carbon County,

Wyoming. No viable alternative sources

of drinking water with sufficient supply

exist. If this aquifer is contaminated a

significant hazard to public health could

occur.

The boundaries of the designated area

have been reviewed and approved by

EPA. As a result of this action, Federal
