#  REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: arsenic.chem.txt
#
#   This dataset contains water-quality data for wells in the 
#   glacial aquifer system that were selected for analysis of 
#   arsenic and redox conditions for USGS Scientific 
#   Investigations Report 2007-5036.     
#   The original data, as retrieved by Terri Arnold on 5/20/04

# REPORT_ARCHIVAL_DATA_SET: arsenic.age.txt
#
#   This data set contains variables related to ground-water age
