Project Initiated 12/10/98 12/10/98
Status As Of: August 31, 2009
Collected stage data and serviced streamflow gages during regularly scheduled field trips. Station levels were run at
Flatfor Swamp (02298494) to rectify minor discrepencies. No datum corrections were need to any prior year data. USGS
will continue to monitor all sites via satelite transmission for problems that need immediate attention and correction.
.Data for the 2008 water year have been reviewed and published at http://wdr.water.usgs.gov/ Safety rails were added to
all gages in the Flatford network to comply with OSHA standards. New shaft encoder was installed at Long Creek as the
old one malfunctioned and failed to provide data to be transmitted.
