Water-quality data for six Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) wells at Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has collected water-quality data at six Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) wells at the Letterkenny Army Depot since the 1990s. Electronic data (field and analytical) for this project were put into the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database beginning in 2017. Analytical data include total forms of selected metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Groundwater, surface water, and soil data collected near and at the Ammonium Perchlorate Rocket Motor Destruction (ARMD) facility at the Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania (UNDER REVISION)

Note: this data release is currently being revised and is temporarily unavailable. Sampling was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at four wells, one surface water site, and five soil sampling locations near and at the Ammonium Perchlorate Rocket Motor Destruction (ARMD) facility at the Letterkenny Army Depot. Analytical results for groundwater samples collected in 2021 are provided in “ARMD_wells_data_2021.xlsx”. Analytical results for surface-water samples collected in 2021 are provided in “ARMD_sw_data_2021.xlsx”. Analytical results for soil samples collected in 2021 are provided in “ARMD_soil_data_2021.xlsx”. The data files with analytical results also include quality assurance/quality control sample...

Soil Chemistry and Quality Control Data in support of Environmental Monitoring at the Open Burning/Open Detonation (OB/OD) areas in the Ammunition Area (AA) at Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, 2021 (version 1.1, February 2022)

Soil sampling was needed to provide analytical soil data for areas near the Open Burning/Open Detonation (OB/OD) areas in the Ammunition Area (AA) of Letterkenny Army Depot. The U.S. Geological Survey sampled 10 locations and prepared the samples for chemical analyses. Samples were collected from depths of zero to six inches with a stainless-steel trowel. Multiple subsamples (10-20) were homogenized at each location in a disposable plastic bowl, and the homogenized samples were used to fill two eight-ounce glass containers for each location. Seven soil sampling locations were in forested areas, two were in open-field areas, and one was at a forest-field interface. The results will be used to determine impacts of...

Compilation of wells sampled, physical characteristics of wells, links to water-quality data, and quality assurance and quality control data for domestic wells sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey in Potter County, Pennsylvania, April-September 2017

This dataset contains the lithologic class and topographic position index information and quality-assurance and quality-control data not available in the online National Water Information System for 47 domestic wells sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey in Potter County, Pennsylvania, April-September 2017. The topographic position index (TPI) for each well location was computed on the basis of a 25-meter digital elevation model (U.S. Geological Survey, 2009) using criteria reported by Llewellyn (2014) to indicate potential classes for topographic setting. The bedrock geologic unit and primary lithology were determined for each well location on the basis of the digital bedrock geologic map of Pennsylvania (Miles...

Groundwater, surface water, bed sediment, soil, benthic macroinvertebrate taxa and biological indices data collected near and at the Open Burning/Open Detonation (OB/OD) Areas at the Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, 2018-2021 (COPY)

Note: this data release is currently being revised and is temporarily unavailable. Sampling is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at nine wells, eight surface water sites, three bed sediment retention ponds, and two fields for soil samples at areas near and within the Open Burning/Open Detonation (OB/OD) areas in the Ammunition Area (AA) of Letterkenny Army Depot. Analytical results for groundwater samples collected from 2018-2021 are provided in “OBOD_wells_data_2018-2021.xlsx”. Analytical results for surface-water samples from 2018-2021 are provided in “OBOD_sw_data_2018-2021.xlsx”. Benthic macroinvertebrate taxonomic data collected from 2018-2021 at three streams are provided in “OBOD_benthic_taxa_2018-2021.xlsx”....
