No, this would not increase the possibility of groundwater pollution. an impermeable rock layer is one that is not easily penetrated through by water or other contamination (pollution). Contamination is more likely to pool up on top of the rock layer in something called a plume.
An impermeable rock layer is one that is tightly compacted like a slate, which has clay minerals that are aligned in a horizontal manner. this is not to say that the groundwater could not become polluted. every rock (even clay layers) have a certain amount of fractures.

What does the word impermeable mean? Look it up. Then think about how an impermeable rock would affect groundwater flow.

No pollution for ground water if the top layers of soil is impermeable.
