	LASTUPDATE		Date which fields were updated
	*REASON			Why groundwater source was not located or does not have 
				associated attributes:

					CNC - Could not contact while gathering data
					DCE - Data corruption error during post-processing GPS data
					INACT - Inactive source and/or system
					MINE - System located on mine
					NCDTF - Not completed due to funding (mainly Campbell County)
					NEW - Source new or being developed (created in 1996 only)
					NLD - Source not listed in database individually

					EPA_PSW - Purchased surface water source located by USEPA
					WWRC_GW - Groundwater source located by WWRC

* indicates new field created by WWRC specific for project and not found within USEPA's system and source tables.
