Groundwater Mapping & Technical Services Program (Well Logs) 
 Administration  (Fax: 614-447-6767)
Oversee the mapping of water table (potentiometric surface), and ground water
pollution potential maps.  Respond to ground water quantity complaints and answer
general questions on ground water availability.  Use water well records database and
publications, to conduct in-house ground water evaluations.  Evaluations include
ground water yield potential for an area along with information on the depth of wells
and descriptions of the aquifer(s) present in an area.  Expertise in conducting pumping
tests and the geology and hydrogeology of Ohio.		  Jim Raab, Supervisor
 (614) 265-6747  jim.raab@dnr.state.oh.us
Assist the ground water mapping and water planning and inventory programs. 
Send out and process water well records and well sealing reports.		  Cleve Brown, Administrative Assistant
