Type File Geodatabase Feature Class
The monitoring locations stored in Environmental Information Management (EIM) database.
The Environmental Information Management System (EIM) is the Department of Ecology's main database for environmental monitoring data. EIM contains records on physical, chemical, and biological analyses and measurements. Supplementary information about the data (metadata) is also stored, including information about environmental studies, monitoring locations, and data quality. Data in EIM is collected by Ecology or on behalf of Ecology by environmental contractors - and by Ecology grant recipients, local governments, and volunteers. EIM Locations is a point feature service representing the monitoring locations from EIM. The locations consist of both surface locations for monitoring air, water, and habitat and wells for monitoring ground water. This feature service queries directly the EIM publication database which is updated nightly from the production transactional database.

Attribute table
Department of Ecology
ID of facility or site where the field location exists, from Ecology 's Facility/Site database.
Department of Ecology
Indicates a well that is used to represent upgradient conditions at a particular facility or site, and is (known or assumed to be) unaffected by that site. Doesn’t necessarily reflect "pristine" or "natural" conditions. (Former Description: Identifies if a well is hydraulically up-gradient, of a facility or site.)
Department of Ecology
The primary use or type of well or monitoring location.
Department of Ecology
Unique identifier for the collection of environmental data at a specific Site. Multiple pieces of information describing the environmental data collection are combined to create the 'Data Collection Event' Format = AAA06600-****NN-DCE-YYYY-MMDD-HH:MM AAA = 3-letter identifier of site type (WAM are sites from the WA Master Sample site list http://www.ecy.wa.gov/services/gis/data/enviro/mastersample.htm; ERR are sites that were meant to be WAM, but due to an error, field work was performed at the wrong site; SEN are non-random statewide sentinel sites; EPA are non-random Puget Sound sentinel sites; BIO are non-random, statewide ambient biological monitoring sites). ****NN = the number portion of a 'SITE_ID' which comes from the WA Master Sample site list or a four character two digit abbreviation of the river/stream at a specific location. DCE = Acronym for 'Data Collection Event' YYYY = the four numeric digits of the year that the event occurred. MM = the two numeric digits for the month that the event occurred. DD = the two numeric digits for the day within the month that the event occurred. HH:MM = the military time when the event began.

Department of Ecology
A unique ID consisting of three letters and three numbers (e.g. ABC123). The ID is stamped on an aluminum tag and typically affixed to the well by the driller at the time of construction or later by Ecology staff. The ID is also included on the well log submitted by the driller.
