Station gage image
STATION.--01547480 FOSTER JOSEPH SAYERS LAKE
LOCATION.--Lat 41`02'53", long 77`36'35", Centre County, Hydrologic Unit 02050204, at Foster Joseph Sayers Dam on Bald Eagle Creek, 1.0 mi upstream from Marsh Creek, and 1.2 mi south of Blanchard.
DRAINAGE AREA.--339 square miles.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--March 1971 to current year.
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder and heated tipping bucket precipitation gage. Datum of gage is U.S. Army Corps of Engineers local project datum. Prior to water year 2007, the datum was incorrectly reported as NGVD 1929.
REMARKS.--Reservoir formed by an earthfill dam with ungaged concrete ogee weir at elevation 657.00 ft with abutting concrete gravity walls and partially paved exit channel. Storage began in March 1971. Capacity at elevation 657.00 ft is 99,100 acre-ft. Dead storage is 25 acre-ft. Ordinary minimum (conservation) pool elevation is 610.00 ft capacity, 6,300 acre-ft. Reservoir used for flood control and recreation. Regulation is accomplished by two gates. Satellite telemetry at station.
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.

COOPERATION.--Funding for the operation of this station is provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District.
This station managed by the PAWSC Williamsport Field Office.
