Summary
This data release provides a comprehensive dataset of sampling-site characteristics and baseline groundwater-quality data collected from a network of multilevel sampling wells installed in a densely developed coastal neighborhood undergoing a conversion from onsite septic systems to municipal sewering. Groundwater samples were collected during multiple events from a total of 227 well screens at 15 locations using a peristaltic pump between June 2016 and March 2024. Samples were collected and preserved following methods documented in the U.S. Geological Survey National Field Manual (variously dated) and Savoie and others (2012). This dataset provides well construction information, groundwater levels, water-quality field parameters, [...]
Summary
This data release provides a comprehensive dataset of sampling-site characteristics and baseline groundwater-quality data collected from a network of multilevel sampling wells installed in a densely developed coastal neighborhood undergoing a conversion from onsite septic systems to municipal sewering. Groundwater samples were collected during multiple events from a total of 227 well screens at 15 locations using a peristaltic pump between June 2016 and March 2024. Samples were collected and preserved following methods documented in the U.S. Geological Survey National Field Manual (variously dated) and Savoie and others (2012). This dataset provides well construction information, groundwater levels, water-quality field parameters, and laboratory results from nutrient and major ion analyses.

McCobb, T.D., Barbaro, J.R., LeBlanc, D.R., and Belaval, M., 2021, Evaluating the effects of replacing septic systems with municipal sewers on groundwater quality in a densely developed coastal neighborhood, Falmouth, Massachusetts, 2016–19: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215130.
These data were collected in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Southeast New England Coastal Watershed Restoration Program (SNEP) to assess the restoration of a coastal aquifer after the installation of municipal sewers that are intended to reduce nutrient loads to adjacent coastal estuaries and ponds.
