Abstract

The regulatory limits for surface water and groundwater contained in this database comprise chemical-specific preliminary remediation goals (PRGs) based on potential Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs). These values should be used in conjunction with PRGs based on risk assessment to ensure that the PRGs for a site meet the residual risk requirements for protection of human health and the environment in the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). In some cases, the values presented in this database may be To-Be-Considered (TBC) Guidance because these values are superseded by site-specific state requirements. ARARs are available for the Federal government, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin. The dataset provides maximum contaminant levels for drinking water and water quality criteria for fresh and marine environments based on acute and chronic exposures. Users can select ARAR sources, drinking water standards and water quality standards, individual chemicals, and retrieve results in tabular or spreadsheet formats for analysis. ARARs are derived from authoritative sources, including federal and state government agencies. The dataset supports environmental risk assessments, regulatory decision-making, and environmental planning, with tools for benchmarking against promulgated standards. Thismore »« less

Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model files for the East River, Colorado

Dataset Carroll, Rosemary ; Niswonger, Richard ; Ulrich, Craig ; ...

The data package contains model input files and executables for the East River, Colorado (750 km2) located in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin. The code applied is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model. The model contains a 100-m grid resolution to represent topographic complexity and a daily timestep accounts for energy and water partitioning between the snowpack, vegetation, soil zone and bedrock. The land surface model is dynamically linked to a three-dimensional groundwater flow model that allows for streamflow gaining and losing conditions. The groundwater model accounts for nine stratigraphic unitsmore »« less

Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model files to explore bedrock circulation depth and porosity in Copper Creek, Colorado

Dataset Carroll, Rosemary ; Williams, Kenneth

This data package contains integrated hydrological model input and output files for Copper Creek, Colorado (24 km2), a tributary of the East River located in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin. The model code is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model. The model contains a 100-m grid resolution and a daily timestep. The land surface model is dynamically linked to a three-dimensional groundwater flow model that allows for streamflow gaining and losing conditions. The groundwater model contains 12 model layers and extends 400 m below land surface. The original Copper Creek modelmore »« less
Groundwater and surface water head from 2019 to 2022 at the Tims Branch in Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina.

Dataset Chen, Zixuan ; Srivastava, Shreya ; Rosenfeld, Carla ; ...

This dataset contains groundwater and surface water head measurements for investigating hydro-biogeochemical processes in Tims Branch at the Savannah River Site, SC. Water levels were monitored using pressure transducers installed in surface water gauges and piezometers across three subsites in Tims Branch, identified as Wfloc, Snon (Snon1 and Snon2), and Sfloc. A barometric pressure logger was deployed in piezometers to correct pressure transducers from atmospheric pressure. Manual water level measurements were taken to calibrate transducer data. The dataset consists of at least paired groundwater and surface water head time series for each subsite, provided as individual CSV files. These datamore »« less
