Important information about this monitoring location
The lake elevation data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. The instrumentation is operated and calibrated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed by USGS staff and therefore do not make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
