When a well is taken out of service permanently, the abandonDate on the MonitoringWell record captures the date the abandonment was completed. Regulators often require wells to be properly decommissioned by grouting, and this date serves as the official closure timestamp in the well's lifecycle record. Wells with an abandonDate set and a status of Abandoned are excluded from active sampling event planning.
