LOCATION - Lat 38°05'00.9", long 90°33'55.6" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NW 1/4 NE 1/4 SE 1/4 sec.22, T.39 N., R.4 E., Jefferson County, MO, Hydrologic Unit 07140101,
REVISIONS HISTORY -
Revisions: Land-surface datum was updated to 796.73 ft NAVD88 on May 22, 2023, as determined by a GNSS survey by Missouri DNR. Land-surface datum was previously published as 790 ft NGVD29 from topographic map. Discrete water-level measurements prior to May 22, 2023, are referenced to the original datum.
The record from 08/13/2013 to 10/14/2014 was set back to working after previously being set to approved. Upon reviewing the record, the block correction of -0.30 ft was ended on 10/15/2014 as it was determined that the wrong MP had been utilized when trying to determine correction factors.
The following correction was removed. A prorated correction from zero to -0.30 ft. was applied to the period 08/13/2013 to 03/05/2014. then correction was continued to 08/14/2014 with a -0.35 ft. Gage was restarted late after WL was made on 10/15/2014 which needed a -0.30 ft. correction to smooth the hydrograph to the recorded water levels.
The following correction was added. A prorated correction of zero to +0.05 was applied to the period 08/13/2013 to 03/05/2014. The correction was continued as a block correction from 03/05/2014 to 10/14/2014. A prorated correction of +0.05 to zero was applied to the period 10/14/2014 to 08/24/2015.
