Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25°C).
Concentrations of chemical constituents in water are given either in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or micrograms per liter (µg/L).
| meq/L | milliequivalents per liter |
| per mil | parts per thousand |
