Statistics on Quality Control Checking of the SiteFile

CPAC action item #9 assigned to Alan Lumb
February 2000 - Columbia CPAC Meeting


Email transmittal from Alan Lumb, 3/6/2000 - I had an action item to provide you some summaries from District application of the GWCHECK program. The issue concerned the QA requirements on the site file for delivery of data on the web. Since the CPAC meeting, NWIS and the GW Users Group meet and discussed the concern and have altered the requirements to not require that the method and accuracy for latitude, longitude and altitude be populated in the site file. These data entries are still required for entry of new sites using GWSI, but are not required for historic sites. The relaxing of this requirement will enable more data on the web with less effort by the Districts. NWIS is in the process of making and testing the code changes to the GWCHECK program and hope to make the new code available this week.

For your information I have included summary output from GWCHECK for some Districts.
