351303119251404 031S024E20F004M
LOCATION - Lat 35°13'03.6", long 119°25'14.5" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in SE 1/4 SE 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.20, T.31 S., R.24 E., Kern County, CA, Hydrologic Unit 18030003,
REVISIONS HISTORY - When the site was established on 12/30/21 an elevation of 466 feet above NAVD88 was determined for the land surface datum (LSD) using a digital elevation model (DEM). On 3/31/22 a Level II GNSS survey was completed to determine the elevation of LSD more accurately. A new elevation of 472.27 ft above NAVD88 was calculated for the LSD. The water level elevation above NAVD88 was recalculated for the discrete groundwater levels measured on 3/31/22, 6/6/22, and 6/7/22. The depth to water below land surface measurements were not affected by this change.
