Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 01449790 is associated with a Lake, Reservoir, Impoundment in Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Current conditions of Elevation of reservoir water surface above datum and Precipitation are available. Water data back to 2006 are available online.

Reservoir is formed by earth and rockfill dam with ungated, partially lined spillway at an elevation of 651.00 ft. Storage began Feb. 8, 1971. Capacity at elevation 651.00 ft is 68,300 acre-ft. Ordinary minimum contents (conservation) pool elevation is 628.00 ft, capacity, 41,250 acre-ft. Dead storage is 1,390 acre-ft. Lake is used for recreation, flood control, low-flow augmentation, and water supply. Regulation is accomplished by a multi-level water-quality outlet system, and two flood-control gates. 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.
