WLR spacer Lab Qualifiers:
<: Reported value less than noted detection limit.
<MDL: Less then method detection limit.
<MDL,E: Combo qualifier: less then method detection limit and estimated value (possible interference).
<MDL,TA: Combo qualifier: less then method detection limit and text added.
<RDL: Less then reporting detection limit.
<RDL,B: Combo qualifier: less then reporting detection limit and analyte found in associated blank.
<SRL: Less then State Reporting Limit - WA DoH results only.
>: Reported value greater than noted detection limit.
>MR: Exceeds quantitative range.
B: Analyte found in associated blank.
E: Estimated because of the presence of interference.
H: Possible Handling errors.
ND: Not Detected - WA DoH results only.
RDL: Result value equal to reporting detection limit.
TA: Text added to comment field.
TMTC: Too Many To Count: refers to microbiology results that are overgrown.
<NULL>: Blank qualifier.
WLR spacer Location Accuracy:
GPS - Global Positioning System: The site has been located using GPS and the expected error is +/- 1 foot.
Map: The site has been located using maps or aerial photography and the expected error is +/- 100 feet.
Parcel: The site has been located using parcel boundaries in GIS and the expected error is +/- 200 feet.
QtrQtrSec: The site has been located using Township/Range/Section/Quarter/Quarter placement and the expected error is +/- 500 feet.
Unknown: The expected error is unknown.
WLR spacer Surface Elevation:
Land surface elevation. NOT the top of the casing.
WLR spacer Time:
Time is displayed in 24 hour time. For example, 00:00 is Midnight, 12:00 is Noon, 13:00 is 1 PM and 23:00 is 11:00 PM. A proxy value of 23:59 is used when no time was recorded.
WLR spacer Wildcards:
When doing a search, you do not need to enter a complete, exact Unique Well ID, WA DOE Well Tag, or Local Number. Partial entries with a % wildcard appended will return all records that start with your text entry. For example, entering 'GrpA%' in the Unique Well ID text entry box will return any records that begin with 'GrpA'.
