A monitoring-well screen or construction element cannot defensibly extend below the recorded borehole termination depth.
The borehole termination depth, screen interval, construction component, or annotation interval may have been entered using an incorrect value, datum, unit, or well record.
Compare the well construction log with the drilling and installation records, correct the verified interval or borehole depth, and confirm that all construction elements fall within the completed borehole.

Groundwater samples collected before field parameters stabilize may not be representative of formation water.
Sampling may have occurred before successive field measurements met the monitoring-program stabilization criteria, or the stabilization status or readings may be missing or incorrectly linked.
Review the purge and stabilization record, verify sequential measurements and configured tolerances, and qualify or repeat the sampling event when stabilization requirements were not met.
