information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

Monongahela Formation
LOCATION - Lat 40°12'17.0", long 80°36'28.0" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Brooke County, WV, Hydrologic Unit 05030106, about 2.5 mi west of Bethany on hilltop about 1,700 ft west of Buffalo Creek.
GROUNDWATER RECORDS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 50.5 ft. Upper casing diameter 6 in; top of first opening 46.5 ft, bottom of last opening 50.5 ft.
DATUM - Land-surface datum is 1,125.6 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: Top edge of recorder shelter floor, 2.14 ft above land-surface datum, Mar. 1, 2002 to present. For the period from June 3, 1999 to Feb. 28, 2002, measuring point was top edge of recorder shelter, 2.18 ft above land-surface datum. Prior to June 3, 1999, measuring point was top edge of recorder shelter floor, 2.20 ft above land-surface datum.
PERIOD OF RECORD - July 1982 (periodic water level), August 1982 to current year (daily water level at noon).
GAGE - Water-level recorder with satellite telemeter. No instrumentation prior to August 1982.
REMARKS - Aquifer test data available. This well is part of a climate-response network designed to monitor the affects of climate change upon water levels. Water-level response to human activities such as nearby pumping or other human activities skews or masks the affects of climate upon water-level data. For this reason, water-level data affected by a nearby oil and gas operation for June 15, 18-19, Aug. 11-24, and Sept. 29-30, 2015, are not included in published data for Water Year 2015. These data are retained in the data files of the U.S. Geological Survey.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Highest water level, 34.87 ft below land-surface datum, Apr. 3, 1985; lowest, 43.15 ft below land-surface datum, Dec. 13, 1994.
