USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
452111093523402 ALUS-35 33N28W18ACB 0000620723
Sand and gravel aquifers (glaciated regions)
Glacial Surficial Sand and/or Gravel
LOCATION - Lat 45°21'26.77", long 93°52'52.36" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NW 1/4 SW 1/4 NE 1/4 sec.18, T.33 N., R.28 W., Sherburne County, MN, Hydrologic Unit 07010203, The well is located to the west of Sherburne Ave. (157th St. SE), approximately 0.5 miles. The well is located on the eastern side of a large cluster of trees. The well is also slightly east of the large Excel Engery power lines.
GROUNDWATER RECORDS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 41.45 ft. Upper casing diameter 2 in; top of first opening 36.45 ft, bottom of last opening 41.45 ft. The hole for well ALUS-35 was drilled with an 8.25-inch-diameter, hydraulic rotary drill rig, on 08 August 2006 to a depth of 44 feet. The well is constructed of a 5-feet-long, 2-inch-diameter, schedule-40 PVC, 0.010-inch slotted, flush-threaded screen attached to about 36 feet of 2-inch-diameter, schedule-40 PVC casing. The casing stickup was 2.75 feet above land surface on 08 August 2006. The open interval of the well is 36 - 41 feet below land surface and the total well depth is 41.45 feet.
DATUM - Land-surface datum is 955.05 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: top of casing, not protection casing and/or post, 2.75 ft above land-surface datum, Aug. 8, 2006 to present. The current measuring point is a black mark on the top of the PVC well casing (no protection post around casing), which was 2.75 feet above land surface on Aug. 08, 2006. Elevation of that measuring point was 957.80 plus-or-minus 0.1 feet above sea level, North American Vertical Datum of 1988, based on a RTK GPS survey on Sept. 06, 2013.
PERIOD OF RECORD - Water levels are recorded periodically from 17 August 2006 to the present. Hourly water levels were recorded from 16 December 2013 at 12:00 CDT to 04 November 2014 at 11:00 CST.
GAGE -

Well was drilled on August 08, 2006 by the U.S. Geological Survey as a monitoring well for the Upper Mississippi (UMIS) NAWQA Agricultural Land-Use study. The Minnesota Unique Well Number is 620723. The well began to be used as part of the I-94 Growth Corridor Study beginning on August, 2012. Water levels have been measured manually with a steel and/or calibrated electric tape periodically, from Aug. 17, 2006 to the present by the U.S. Geological Survey. A pressure transducer and datalogger were installed in the well during Dec. 16, 2013 at 12:00 CST to Nov. 04, 2014 at 11:00 CST, recording hourly values of water level, water temperature, and battery voltage.

An unheated Onset RG3 tipping-bucket raingage was installed at the site on Dec. 16, 2013 at 12:00 CST to Nov. 04, 2014 at 11:00 CST, recording quarter-hourly rainfall data. The raingage was mounted on a green T-post, located approximately 200 ft. WNW of well ALUS-35. The raingage had a built-in datalogger, which measured and recorded precipitation quarter-hourly. Raingage was nominally accurate to 0.01 inches.

The pressure transducer and raingage were removed from the site on Nov. 04, 2014, due to data collection completion for the I-94 Growth Corridor project.

This well is not currently gaged. Only visited periodically to measure discrete groundwater levels and periodically collect discrete water quality samples.

COOPERATION - This site is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey as a monitoring well for the Upper Mississippi (UMIS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. This well is included in the UMIS NAWQA Agricultural Land-Use Study (ALUS) network. The well was incorporated into the I-94 Growth Corridor Study during August 2012 to November 2014. The I-94 Growth Corridor Study was a collaborative effort between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey.
CLIMATOLOGICAL RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Quarter-hourly precipitation were recorded from 16 December 2013 at 12:00 CST to 04 November 2014 at 11:30 CST, except during the following period:

During Apr. 27, 2014 at 01:15 CDT to Jul, 29, 2014 at 08:30 CDT, hourly precipitation data is missing due to a partially plugged rain gage funnel. This partial plug was cleaned out on Jul. 29, 2014. The hourly data during this period were deleted. Daily sums during this period were accurately estimated based on nearby I-94 Corridor project precipitation data.
INSTRUMENTATION - Precipitation were measured with an Onset RG3 tipping-bucket rain gage, which is accurate to 0.01 inches. The rain gage was unheated and uncovered during the winter. Thus precipitation data during freezing periods (about December through early April) result from melting of snow during warm periods and do NOT represent actual precipitation.
