Table 2. Ground-water quality data collected from drive-point wells at the former sewage lagoon at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, June and August 2006.

[Total nitrogen: Nitrate plus nitrite plus ammonia plus organic nitrogen. Abbreviations and symbols: mg/L, milligram per liter; μS/cm, microseimen per centimeter. D, data censored (rejected) by laboratory; rep, field replicate sample; E, estimated value; <, actual value is less than value shown; >, actual value is greater than value shown; ~, approximate value; –, no data]
