This data was retrieved from the NAWQA Internal Data # Warehouse on June 18, 2004. # The data will be used in a series of reports to characterize # the Glacial Principal Aquifer as part of the # U.S. Geological Survey, National Water-Quality Assessment # Program. # # Spatial_Domain_Descriptor: # Bounding_Coordinates: # West_Bounding_Coordinate: -166.27384949 # East_Bounding_Coordinate: -51.99280167 # North_Bounding_Coordinate: 83.55232239 # South_Bounding_Coordinate: 37.61368942 # # Time_Period_of_content: # Currentness_Reference: June 18, 2004 # # Keywords: # NAWQA_Program_Component: Glacial Regional Princial Aquifer # Ground-Water Trends # Theme_Keywords: Ground water # Place_Keywords: Northern United States # # Supplemental_Information: # # Procedures_Used: # Process_Step: # The data was retrieved from the NAWQA Internal Data Warehouse # June 08, 2004. The Conditions used to retrieve the data are as follows: # # Pre-set Data Warehouse conditions used for retrieving data: # 1) Eliminate 'V' Coded data # 2) Groundwater Chemical Environmental Data # 3) Groundwater Sites Only # 4) GW POSV Patch Last Value of Day # 5) Remove 'Set Number' and 'Surrogate' from the search # # Additional Conditions for glacial aquifer wells: # Select Staids that are in glacial aquifer. # # Process_Step: # Some wells had more than one line of data. The data was collapsed # to one row per well. The bottom of the open interval was used to # select which lithology record to keep. All data was concatenated # into the row with the lithology of the open interval. # # Process_Step: # The retrieved Station IDs (STAID) were compared to a complete list of # STAIDs to determine if any wells were missing fromt he data retrieval # (due to no data for the requested parameters). The following STAIDs # were missing: # 420757072390101 # 431953088113701 # 433136089235301 # 433215088010001 # 435343089040601 # 435453089184701 # 440157089180501 # 440240088544101 # 442008089135201 # 442556088443501 # 443810088311601 # 444302089144401 # 445220088535601 # 450755088125301 # 451805088363101 # 451854087545501 # 452121088541301 # 453021088055801 # 453149088570801 # 453247088425701 # 454107088011001 # 454258088411601 # 454749088345301 # 455919089003201 # 460000088235501 # 460308088130601 # 461703088043901 # 461739087192201 # 462416088191901 # # Lines were added to the data file for these missing wells with a # '-' for all columns of data. # # Process_Step: # Some lines in the worksheet are highlighted in yellow. The # lithologies and open intervals of these wells indicate they # are drawing from bedrock and NOT galcial. These wells need to # be re-verified that they are indeed sampling from the glacial # aquifer. Lines highlighted in peach color are wells that the # lithologies indicate the well is much deeper than the indicated # well depth and/or open interval. Lines highlighted in blue are # wells for which no data was available when the data were retrieved. # # Revisions: # Reviews_Applied_to_Data: This data has not been reviewed # Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets: # Other_References_Cited: # Notes: # # Status: # Progress: Complete # Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: none planned # # Cross_Reference: None # # Data_Quality_Information: # Completeness_Report: Complete as of date when data was pulled # from NAWQA data warehouse # # Basic documentation of dataset elements and history # # Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: # # Attributes: # Column head, description # principal_aq, Principal Aquifer abbreviation.
