Table 1. Characteristics of sites with at least one water-level measurement through 2005 in the Rainier Mesa area, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada.

[Latitude and Longitude: In decimal degrees; referenced to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Land-surface altitude: Altitude relative to sea level. Open interval: Area of well that is open to aquifer and where, if saturated, ground water may enter well. Open interval consists of open borehole and (or) well screen, including gravel packs. Where multiple open intervals occur in a well, depths are in feet below land surface to top of uppermost interval and bottom of lowermost interval. Contributing units: Lithologic units contributing water to well. Multiple units for single well listed in order of their likely importance in contributing water to well. C, Paleozoic carbonate rock; P, Paleocolluvium; S, pre-Tertiary clastic rock; V, volcanic rocks (primary tuffs); X, igneous or metamorphic rocks; *, hole was dry and contributing unit listed is the unit at bottom of hole; queried (?) where uncertain]

1The U.S. Geological Survey site identification is based on the latitude-longitude grid. Each site is identified by a unique 15-digit number. The first six digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude; the next seven digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of longitude; and the last two digits are the sequence number of the well or test hole within the 1-second grid of latitude and longitude. The assigned number is retained as a permanent identifier even if a more precise latitude and longitude are later determined. To determine the geographic location of a well or test hole, the latitude and longitude coordinates should be used rather than the site identifier. Site identifications beginning with “99” are used in this report only and are not in the National Water Information System (NWIS).

2Official Nevada Test Site (NTS) hole names are assigned to test holes according to the type of hole drilled, site location (NTS area number), and sequence code for consecutive order in which the hole was drilled or redrilled. Most of the holes drilled on the NTS begin with the letter “U.” Exploratory holes, drilled to assess material properties within a defined area, are designated with an “E” following the “U.” The “U” or “UE” are followed by a dash (-), NTS area number, and sequence code (letters “a-z, aa-az, ba-bz, ..., za-zz”). The suffix “PS” indicates a postshot hole, the suffix “#” followed by a number indicates a satellite hole, and “HTH” indicates a hydrologic test hole. Exceptions to the standard naming convention are wells beginning with “ER,” which indicates a well drilled for the Environmental Restoration Program.
