This dataset contains measurements of dissolved hydrocarbons in from groundwater samples collected in the shale gas producing regions of West Virginia, USA, between June and August of 2018. The target analytes in this study were: methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2), propane (C3H8), propene (C3H6), i-butane (C4H10), n-butane (C4H10), 1-butene (C4H8), propyne (C3H4), i-pentane (C5H12), n-pentane (C5H12), 2-methyl-pentane (C6H14), 3-methyl-pentane (C6H14), hexane (C6H14), and benzene (C6H6). This dataset also contains corresponding measurements of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Sulfurhexafluoride (SF6), dissolved permanent gases (N2/Ar), tritium, the isotope ratio of helium dissolved in water, the...

This Data Release is a compilation of existing water-quality data associated with groundwater resources originating from abandoned underground coal mines in West Virginia. Data were compiled from multiple sources for the purpose of understanding the suitability of groundwater from abandoned underground coal mines for public supply, industrial, agricultural, and other uses. This compilation includes data collected for multiple individual studies conducted from July 13, 1973 through September 7, 2016. Analytical methods varied by the time period of data collection and requirements of the independent studies. This project identified 770 water quality samples from 294 sites that could be attributed to abandoned underground...

This dataset contains measurements of dissolved hydrocarbons in various water sources, as well as ancillary raw calibration data showing the stability of the gas chromatograph with an atomic emission detector and flame ionization detector (GC-AED-FID) analytical system over time. Across multiple studies, samples from tap water, groundwater, surface water, springs, mine outflows, and blank materials were analyzed using this system over a period from 2014 to 2017, comprising 172 samples analyzed. In addition to water samples, 183 calibrations conducted over the same period of time are included to document the stability of the GC-AED-FID system over time. The target analytes in this study were: methane (CH4), ethane...

Fluorescein and Rhodamine WT dye-tracer injections were performed in Monroe County, West Virginia to determine groundwater flow paths and identify the location of the groundwater divide within the Greenbrier karst aquifer in the area south of Union, West Virginia. Fluorescein was injected in a swallet on Burnside Branch upstream of Steel's cave (37° 33' 56.0" latitude -80° 32' 57.6" longitude) and Rhodamine WT was injected into a swallet at the contact of the Hillsdale Limestone and Maccrady Shale in the headwaters of Taggart Branch (37° 33' 17.8" latitude -80° 28' 29.0" longitude). Data collected from these tracer injections supported interpretations made by Jones (1997) with some refinements. The first table contains...

These interpolated groundwater levels and altitudes product, for Monroe County, WV, was derived from groundwater-level data obtained from a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) synoptic survey of 257 groundwater wells during October 23, 2017 through September 19, 2019, and selected points from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) to represent equal-altitude contour lines of groundwater altitudes in 50-foot intervals. Attributes include groundwater altitudes in decimal feet. Horizontal coordinates are referenced to UTM zone 17, NAD83, and groundwater altitudes are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The potentiometric surface map, based on the 257 groundwater measurements, was constrained...
