Recorder removed on December 11, 2013, and was replaced on July 22, 2015 until final removal upon project completion on September 1, 2016. This site is part of bioremediation research in a wetland setting. Water level data may only represent shallow, small-scale groundwater flow processes and not necessarily represent unconfined water-table conditions.

Project was restarted and new equipment was installed 09/03/2020. A pressure transducer [Insitu-Troll 700 S/N: 681643].

New cable was installed on 01/18/2023.
