a northeast to southwest line, and a small group in the southeast. Oxnard Plain Pressure LAS "Key" well 01N21W32K01S - December level was up 8.10 feet from the January measurement. UAS - Oxnard Pressure basin groundwater: Oxnard aquifer samples are calcium sulfate type. Mugu aquifer samples are calcium sulfate type. LAS - Oxnard Pressure basin groundwater: Hueneme aquifer samples are calcium sulfate type. Fox Canyon aquifer samples are sodium sulfate type. UAS "Key" well 01N21W07H01S - December level was down 10.73 feet from the January measurement. ( 42 wells) 2014 Groundwater Quality in General for All Wells Sampled by County In general for 25 wells measured in 2014 in the basin, water levels declined in 22 and rose in 3 wells over the course of the year from the 1st quarter reading to the last quarter reading. The 5 year trend based on a review of the Fall 2010 through Fall 2014 potentiometric surface maps is downward. The 5 year trend based on a review of the Fall 2010 through Fall 2014 potentiometric surface maps is downward. 5 Year Groundwater Level Trend 2010 - 2014 5 Year Groundwater Quality Trend 2010-2014
