Summary

From July to November 2019, 48 environmental samples and four quality assurance and quality control samples were collected throughout the Lake Champlain and Susquehanna River Basins. Samples were collected from 10 production wells and nine domestic wells in the Lake Champlain Basin, and 14 production wells and 15 domestic wells in the Susquehanna River Basin. Of the total wells sampled, 24 were completed in bedrock and 23 were completed in sand and gravel. Approximately 20 percent of samples were collected from wells that previously have been sampled as part of this study in 2005, 2009, and 2014. Groundwater samples were collected prior to any treatment or filtration systems, from existing domestic and production wells equipped with [...]

Purpose

Groundwater samples were collected from domestic and production wells within the Lake Champlain and Susquehanna River Basins in support of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s responsibilities under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1977 to report on the chemical quality of groundwater within New York State. Since 2002, ambient groundwater quality samples have been collected by USGS from the 14 major hydrologic basins in upstate New York (north of the New York City metropolitan area). The sampling program is designed such that two to three major basins are sampled each year, with each basin resampled once every five years.
