REMARKS.--Reservoir is formed by an earth and rockfill
dam with an ungated spillway at 1,150 ft above mean sea level
(capacity, 1,700 acre-feet). The dam has a maximum height of 90 ft
above the streambed and a top length of 1,270 ft. The outlet conduit is
uncontrolled and consists of a 490-foot-long, 36-inch diameter
vitrified clay pipe encased in reinforced concrete. Storage began in
October 1970. Reservoir is used for flood control and recreation.
The 15-minute precipitation data for this station are
temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Time series
of 1-hour or cumulative daily values will NOT be available for
retrieval following the 120-day display period. Although the
instrumentation is calibrated at least once a year, the temporary
classification means that documented routine inspections and other
quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the
data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general
scientific or interpretive studies. |
