However, note that dates must be expressed as "mm/dd/yyyy" or "mm/dd/yy", where the "mm", and "dd" and "yy" must be two-digit integer like "02", not just "2" or " 2". To repeat, dates like "2/26/57" will be rejected (the correct form is "02/26/57", or to avoid Y2K problems, "02/26/1957")..
Lines beginning with a "#" are ignored. It should also be noted that
units are assumed to be cubic feet per second. Furthermore, the surface
water data must be continuous with one observation (possibly 0) for each
day. Do not leave gaps in the record.

Note that "less-than" values are identified by a "<" symbol preceding
the concentration. The units for concentrations are assumed to be milligrams/liter].
