REVISIONS HISTORY -
Revisions: Land-surface datum was revised to 462.24 ft NAVD88 on Oct. 4, 2023, as determined by a GNSS survey by Missouri DNR. Land-surface datum was previously published in error as 450 ft NAVD88 from topographic map. Discrete water-level measurements referenced to NGVD29 and NAVD88 were revised, based on changes to the land-surface datum.
The record from 11/25/2008 to 06/04/2009 was modified after it was previously set to 'Approved' status. A -0.02 ft correction was applied to the period to remove the affects of a gage reset on 11/25/2009.
