USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

02289060 TAMIAMI CANAL OUTLETS, LEVEE 30 TO LEVEE 67A, NEAR MIAMI, FL

LOCATION - Lat 25°45'40.11", long 80°33'42.14" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in SE 1/4 sec.06, T.54 S., R.38 E., Miami-Dade County, FL, Hydrologic Unit 03090202, on south bank of Levee 29, 50 ft west of bridge 53 on U.S. Highway 41, and 22.8 mi west of Miami.

DRAINAGE AREA - Indeterminate.

REVISIONS HISTORY -

WDR FL-2000-2A, 1998-99. Discharge data for the 2013 Water Year and 2014 Water Year, was revised on May 2018, based on changes to the stage-discharge rating.

Discharge measurement 1193 performed on April 22, 2014, was revised on April 26, 2022, after it was determined this measurement was not representative of actual discharge conditions at the site.

Discharge measurement 1214 on March 4, 2015, was revised on April 26, 2022, when new information became available resulting in the recalculation of the measurement.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - November 1939 to September 1963 (monthly discharge), October 1963 to current year. October 1962 to September 1963, stage only (twice monthly) published as Tamiami Canal at bridge 45, near Miami (auxiliary). Stage records prior to October 1962 are available in files of the U.S. Geological Survey. Prior to October 1963, daily discharge for this portion of the canal was published as part of the total daily discharge of station, Tamiami Canal Outlets, Miami to Monroe (station 02289000).

GAGE - Electronic data logger. Datum of gage is National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 and 1.68 feet below North American Vertical Datum of 1988. To maintain consistency with the historical record, data recorded at NGVD 1929 does not reflect the updated elevation reported by NGS in 1992, which is 0.12 ft lower. Prior to August 27, 1942, non-recording gage at datum 0.80 ft lower; August 27, 1942 to February 21, 1952, non-recording gage at present datum; and February 21, 1952 to August 7, 1969, water-stage recorder at same datum, all at site 4 mi to the west. Revised.

COOPERATION - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USGS Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science, and National Park Service.

REMARKS - Records poor. Figures of daily discharge consist of seepage through levee 29 from Conservation Area 3B and discharges from S-333 distributed along Levee 29 from Conservation Area 3A as represented by flow through all the outlets of Tamiami Canal from levee 30 to levee 67A (Bridges 45-59). Flow releases from S-334 were observed during portions of the water year. Discharge from S-334 not included in the table of mean daily discharge for this station. Since March 2014 the calculated one-mile bridge discharge, is derived from the of difference of East and West index sites discharges, 02289080 Tamiami Canal West end 1 Mile Bridge, 02289085 Tamiami Canal East end 1 Mile Bridge.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum gage height, 9.76 ft Nov. 1, 1960; minimum, 1.66 ft May 13, 14, 1971.
