REVISIONS HISTORY -
Revisions: Groundwater levels for the period Sep. 13, 2017 to Nov. 08, 2019 caused a revision on Nov. 22, 2019, because the Measuring Point (MP) 1 correction length was incorrect in SVMAQ. Previous MP correction length was 2.61 ft above LSD in SVMAQ. New corrected MP length is 2.52 ft above LSD based on last 3 years of levels.
Revisions: Land-surface datum was updated to 867.85 ft NAVD88 on May 30, 2023, as determined by a GNSS Level II survey. Land-surface datum was previously published as 867.93 ft NAVD88 (furnished). Discrete water-level measurements prior to May 30, 2023, are referenced to the original datum.
