Click to hide Water-Year Summary instructions and information
  • Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
  • For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
  • For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
  • For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
  • Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
445450093140101 LN-NE-U Lake Nokomis Urban GW Study 0000867057
Sand and gravel aquifers (glaciated regions)
Glacial Surficial Sand and/or Gravel
LOCATION - Lat 44°54'50.40", long 93°14'01.23" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in sec.13, T.28 N., R.24 W., Hennepin County, MN, Hydrologic Unit 07010206, The well is located in Minneapolis, MN near Lake Nokomis. The well is located in a grassy area between E Lake Nokomis Pkwy and Woodlawn Blvd. The well is located approximately 30 ft. west of Woodlawn Blvd. 
GROUNDWATER RECORDS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 47.37 ft. Upper casing diameter 2.04 in; top of first opening 37.5 ft, bottom of last opening 46.94 ft.
DATUM - Land-surface datum is 845.97 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: Black mark on top of 2-inch PVC well casing, NOT protection post, 2.73 ft above land-surface datum, Feb. 21, 2023 to present. The measuring point is a black mark on top of the 2-inch diameter PVC well casing, which was 2.73 feet above land surface on 21 February 2023. Elevation of the measuring point is 848.70 ±0.02 feet above sea level, North American Vertical Datum of 1988, based on a differential GPS survey completed by the U.S. Geological Survey on 11 Apr. 2023.
PERIOD OF RECORD -

Manual/discrete water levels were recorded periodically from 03 March 2023 to 22 April 2024. Continuous water levels were recorded every 1-hour from 03 March 2023 at 10:00 CST to 22 April 2024 at 10:00 CDT, except during the following periods:

15 Jun. 2023 at 07:00 CDT - 03 Oct. 2023 at 09:00 CDT: due to an unexpected voltage drain causing dead batteries.

GAGE -

Continuous water level, water temperature, and battery voltage are measured with a previously used OTT Orpheus Mini, 0-10m range, pressure transducer. These data are recorded every 1-hour from 03 March 2023 at 10:00 CST to 22 April 2024 at 10:00 CDT by the same OTT Orpheus Mini pressure transducer, which has a data logger built into it. The data logger is housed (hanging) inside the 2-inch diameter PVC well casing, which is inside the 6-inch diameter steel protection post and locking well cap. The pressure transducer is powered by 3 AA alkaline batteries that are inside of the data logger communications rod. Data are downloaded manually and there no telemetry at the gage.

The pressure transducer and data logger were removed from the well on 22 Apr. 2024 at 10:00 CDT. Data collection for the USGS/UMN Lake Nokomis Urban GW Study have concluded and all data logging equipment have been removed from the sites.

COOPERATION - This site was operated from 03 March 2023 to 22 April 2024 by the U.S. Geological Survey as a monitoring well for the USGS/UMN Lake Nokomis Urban GW study. The USGS/UMN Lake Nokomis Urban GW study is a collaborative study between the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Minnesota, and Minnesota Geological Survey.

PERIOD OF RECORD -

Continuous water temperatures were recorded every 1-hour from 03 March 2023 at 10:00 CST to 22 April 2024 at 10:00 CDT, except during the following periods:

03 Mar. 2023 at 10:00 CST: due to sensor equilibration after deployment.
15 Jun. 2023 at 07:00 CDT - 03 Oct. 2023 at 09:00 CDT: due to an unexpected voltage drain causing dead batteries.

COOPERATION - This site was operated from 03 March 2023 to 22 April 2024 by the U.S. Geological Survey as a monitoring well for the USGS/UMN Lake Nokomis Urban GW study. The USGS/UMN Lake Nokomis Urban GW study is a collaborative study between the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Minnesota, and Minnesota Geological Survey.
