Water-Year
Summary
instructions
and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.
USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
02336526 PROCTOR CREEK AT JACKSON PARKWAY, AT ATLANTA, GA
LOCATION - Lat 33°47'40.1", long 84°28'27.1" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Fulton County, GA, Hydrologic Unit 03130002, on the upstream left bank of bridge on Jackson Parkway (GA 280).
DRAINAGE AREA - 13.4 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY -
Gage datum was revised on March 21, 2022, based on an error in the determination of the gage datum.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD -
DISCHARGE: October 1961 to September 1990(maximum only), December 2002 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: October 1961 to September 1990 (maximum only), December 2002 to current year.
DISCHARGE: October 1961 to September 1990(maximum only), December 2002 to current year.
GAGE-HEIGHT: October 1961 to September 1990 (maximum only), December 2002 to current year.
GAGE - Satellite telemetry with water-stage recorder and a continuous water-quality monitor. Datum of gage is 758.83 feet above NAVD88. Datum of gage is unknown prior to December 2002.
COOPERATION - City of Atlanta.
REMARKS - Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally fair except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-ga_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.

For period: 10/01/2015-09/30/2016: Specific conductance, pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen record is rated good. Turbidity record is rated fair.
For period: 10/01/2016-09/30/2017: Specific conductance, pH, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity record is rated fair.

For period: 10/01/2017-09/30/2018: Specific conductance, pH, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity record is rated fair.
Data for parameter code 63680 (turbidity) were collected using a probe with the following specifications: turbidity, water, monochrome near infra-red LED light, 780-900 nm, detection angle 90 +/-2.5 degrees, FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units). Prior to October 1, 2004, turbidity data were published using parameter code 00076: turbidity, water, unfiltered, NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). Hydrologic event 9 indicates a routine sample while J designates a storm event sample. Laboratory sediment analyses are by the U.S. Geological Survey, Kentucky Sediment Laboratory. Field determinations of discharge, gage height, specific conductance, pH, water temperature, turbidity, barometric pressure, microbiology, air temperature, and dissolved oxygen are by the U.S. Geological Survey.
