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.

02204037 POLE BRIDGE CR AT EVANS MILL RD NEAR LITHONIA, GA
LOCATION - Lat 33°40'05.5", long 84°09'04.2" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Dekalb County, GA, Hydrologic Unit 03070103,
DRAINAGE AREA - 16.1 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY -
Discharge for the period Aug. 24, 2019, to Aug. 30, 2019, was revised on Mar. 20, 2020, based on changes to the estimated discharge.
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: May 2012 to current year.

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). Hydrologic event 9 indicates a routine sample while J designates a storm event sample. Laboratory chemical analyses are by RTI Laboratory, Livonia, MI. Laboratory sediment analyses are by the U.S. Geological Survey, KY Sediment Laboratory. Field determinations of discharge, specific conductance, pH, water temperature, turbidity, barometric pressure, microbiology, air temperature, and dissolved oxygen are by the U.S. Geological Survey.
