Summary

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”. The field and habitat data for benthic-macroinvertebrate sampling are provided in “OBOD_benthic_field_data_2018-2021.xlsx” [...]

Provenance

Revision 2.0 by Linda Zarr on April 29, 2024. The data release title was updated from "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" to "Groundwater, surface water, bed sediment, soil, benthic macroinvertebrate taxa, habitat, and biological indices data collected near and at the Open Burning/Open Detonation (OB/OD) Areas at the Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania (ver. 2.0, April 2024)". To review additional changes that were made, see "OBOD-Benthic v2.0.txt" in the attached files section.
