SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD -

July 2004 to current year.

Occasional low-flow measurements, water years 1999-2000, 2002-2004.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Geological Survey satellite telemeter at station. Current datum in use is 775.59 NAVD88. Current datum was established by a GNSS Level III REF FRAME: NAD_83(2011)(EPOCH:2010.0000) ITRF2014 (EPOCH:2022.6077)[NAVD88 (Computed using GEOID18)] Tied to RM-6. Prior to 10/01/2022 the datum in use was 775.16 NAVD88.

REMARKS - Quality of data for all periods can be obtained by contacting the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center.

All estimated periods are considered poor unless noted otherwise.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Zero flow computed at times during period of record.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - March 2000 to September 2000, March 2004 to April 2006 and April 2019 to current water year.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: July 2004 to September 2006 (discontinued). pH: July 2004 to September 2006 (discontinued). WATER TEMPERATURE: July 2004 to September 2006 (discontinued). DISSOLVED OXYGEN: July 2004 to September 2006 (discontinued). TURBIDITY: October 2004 to September 2006 (discontinued).

REMARKS - Interruptions in daily water quality record were due to malfunction of the recording instrument. Periodic samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. Specific conductance, pH, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity were determined in the field.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Maximum, 2540 microsiemens, Dec. 9, 2005; minimum, 385 microsiemens, May 9, 2006. pH: Maximum, 7.6 units, on several days during February 2006; minimum, 6.3 units, May 9,10, 2006. WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum, 30.6°C, Jul. 15, 2006; minimum, 0.3°C, Dec. 24, 2004 & Dec. 19 2005. DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Maximum, 13.3 mg/L, Feb. 20,21, 2006; minimum, 3.3 mg/L, April 17, 2006. TURBIDITY: Maximum, 1120 FNU, on July 10, 2006; minimum, <1.0 on many days in 2006.
