A. The boundaries of the aquifer protection overlay district are identical to those established by the R.I. department of environmental management to delineate the boundaries of the Pawcatuck basin aquifer, wellhead protection areas, and groundwater recharge areas.

B. Within the aquifer overlay protection district, there are two subdistricts that provide for different levels of groundwater protection:

1. The aquifer and all wellhead protection areas shall comprise subdistrict A.

2. The groundwater recharge areas shall comprise subdistrict B.

C. Uses permitted, allowed by special use permit, and prohibited in each subdistrict are shown in Chapter 18.16 of this Title.

D. The boundaries of the aquifer protection overlay district and its two subdistricts are shown on the official zoning map in the custody of the town clerk. The requirements of this Chapter apply only to the property included within those boundaries, regardless of the location of lot lines or zoning district lines, unless otherwise specifically provided.
