Summary

From May to December 2017, 48 environmental samples and six quality control samples were collected throughout the Upper Hudson and Central New York River Basins. Samples were collected from nine production wells and 11 domestic wells in the Upper Hudson River Basin, and 14 production wells and 14 domestic wells in the Central New York River Basin. Of the total wells sampled, 22 were completed in bedrock and 26 were completed in sand and gravel. Approximately 20 percent of samples were collected from wells that were previously sampled as in 2007 and 2012. Groundwater samples were collected prior to any treatment or filtration systems, from existing domestic and production wells equipped with permanently installed pumps. Samples were [...]

Purpose

Groundwater samples were collected from domestic and production wells within the Upper Hudson and Central New York 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.
