Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32.
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).
Vertical coordinate information is North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
Horizontal coordinate information is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 10, North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27).
Elevation, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
