GROUNDWATER RECORDS

WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 80 ft. Upper casing diameter 6 in; top of first opening 70 ft, bottom of last opening 80 ft. Water-table well. The hole for well was drilled with an 8-inch-diameter cable tool to a depth of 80 feet. The well is constructed of a 4-inch-diameter, unknown-inch PVC slotted well screen, attached to 6-inch-diameter, PVC well casing. This casing stick-up was 2.85 feet above land surface when measured on September 16, 1976. The open interval of the well is between 70 and 80 feet below land surface and the well is 80 feet deep.

DATUM - Land-surface datum is 960.37 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: TOP OF CASING, 1.24 ft above land-surface datum, Jun. 17, 1976 to Sep. 17, 1976; MP TOP OF PLYWOOD SHELTER BASE, MARK ON SE SIDE OF PLYWOOD, 2.85 ft above land-surface datum, Sep. 16, 1976 to present. The measuring point is the top of plywood shelter base, above the 6-inch diameter well casing. A black "MEASURE HERE" arrow on the SE side of the plywood indicates the current measuring point inside the shelter, which was 2.85 feet above LSD (concrete pad) on September 16, 1976. Elevation of the measuring point is 963.22 ±0.19 feet above sea level, North American Vertical Datum of 1988, based on a level 3 GNSS differential GPS Survey.
