USGS Site ID: Site identification number permanently assigned to the well by the U.S. Geological Survey and recorded in National Water Information System (NWIS), a national computer database maintained by U.S. Geological Survey.

Well location: The system used for locating wells is based on the rectangular system for subdivision of public land. The State is divided into 36 square mile townships numbered according to their location relative to the east-west Willamette baseline and a north-south Willamette meridian. The position of a township is given by its north-south "Township" position relative to the baseline and its east-west "Range" position relative to the meridian. Each township is divided into 36 sections approximately 1-square-mile (640-acre) in area and numbered from 1 to 36. For example, a well designated as 01S/03E-33DCA is located in Township 1 south, Range 3 east, section 33. The letters following the section number correspond to the location within the section; the first letter (D) identifies the quarter section (160 acres); the second letter (C) identifies the quarter-quarter section (40 acres); and the third letter (A) identifies the quarter-quarter-quarter section (10 acres). Thus, well 33DCA is located in the NE quarter of the SW quarter of the SE quarter of section 33. Sorted on this item.

Sample Depth: The depth to the sample collection, in feet below land surface.

Unit code: The name of aquifer or geologic unit stored by the U.S. Geological Survey in National Water Information System (NWIS), a national computer database maintained by U.S. Geological Survey.

Major and trace elements: Major elements are listed in weight percent concentration and trace elements are listed in parts per million concentration. One percent equals 10,000 parts per million.
