The header line above may be copied and pasted into your text data file. Please use this to see if your format is accurate and the data
elements are in straight lines top to bottom. Often the header line can help identify if a data element has a truncated leading zero for a month 
or day or some other imperfection. This will be noted as there are not straight lines for the data elements. When there is a format problem, you will find the 
elements are not in a staight line top to bottom. Find the ones out of place and evaluate the data element field lenght to see what may
be amiss.

Below is a key with the data elements in the header line identified above. Also there is information on the field length for the data element.
If there are valid value or if a value must be captured in a reference table before use it will reference a reference table.
The data elements and data records in the notepad or text file should line up under the header line. If it does not, check to see if there is
an error in the data elements and record. Hopefully, the header line and the definitions for the data elements represented in the header
line will help ensure accurate and complete text file submittals. Please remove the header line before transmitting the file
to ADEQ or placement in the Uploaded File List table in the database. Let us know of any questions or suggestions for improvement.

 No Guidance for comment. Add any comment up to 1000 characters. However, all other data records in the data file with this comment must also end on the same position as the record with the comment. You may want to have a data file for records with comments and then a separate no comment data submittal due to lenght of data line issues.
