Metadata(Supporting Data of Documented Quality)
Through this site, EPA's STORET Data Warehouse supplies a series of pre-formatted reports

document their methods, processes, and standard practices. Each of the files available
here is national in scope, and subdivided internally by STORET Organization ID.
These reports are all in the Adobe Acrobat® Portable Document Format (PDF). After download,
each can be opened and searched for the Organization ID whose information you wish to read,
using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
