Summary

In 2018, groundwater samples were collected from aquifers in the Williston Basin in parts of eastern Montana, western North Dakota, and northwestern South Dakota. This dataset includes quality-control data for volatile organic compounds that include data for source-solution blanks and field blanks. The dataset also includes data for sulfur hexafluoride in environmental samples of groundwater.
