Table 1. Water-level data and well characteristics for wells used to develop water-level contours in the Rainier Mesa and Shoshone Mountain area, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada.
[Latitude and Longitude: In decimal degrees; referenced to NAD 83. Mean water-level altitude: Average of all predevelopment water-level measurements in well that were considered to represent the subsurface hydrologic unit type(s) open to well. Open interval: Area of well 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, altitudes are the top of uppermost interval and bottom of lowermost interval. Subsurface hydrologic unit types at well opening: Subsurface hydrologic unit types occurring at saturated part of open interval: AAQ, alluvial aquifer; LCA, lower carbonate aquifer, SCU, siliceous confining unit; UCA, upper carbonate aquifer; VAQ, volcanic aquifer; VCM; volcanic composite unit; VCU, volcanic confining unit. Abbreviations: NGVD 29, National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. USGS, U.S. Geological Survey; <, less than; >, greater than, ft, feet. Note: See appendix 2 for a more detailed table]
