Apr 26, 2019 · Documents and links to technical manuals and memoranda that define data collection, data processing, and quality assurance standards for stage and streamflow collected in USGS Water Programs are provided.

Many of the primary authorizations that allow the USGS and GWSIP to serve the American people are listed below, along with descriptions of either how the authorization relates to USGS or what GWSIP activities are performed under a particular authorization.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) oversees 54 projects (MS Excel file) in Washington State. The USGS has contracts for the collection of reservoir and streamflow data for about 20 of these projects with the owners of the projects, for their operational and management needs and to provide the real-time data to the public.

Points can be acquired by survey, GPS, or by identification of electronic coordinates of features (such as road intersections) from a USGS DRG or DOQQ. A minimum of three points are required for each map panel on the inundation map sheets and the points should be spread over the entire raster dataset rather than concentrating them in one area.

The USGS has technical manuals and memoranda that define data collection, data processing, and quality assurance standards for each of the major data types collected in USGS Water Programs (stage, streamflow, water level in wells, water quality, sediment, and biota).

All studies submitted to the FERC should contain a summary of the design assumptions, design analyses, and methodologies used. In the context of risk informed decision making, dam breach analyses are needed for determining the potential consequences of a failure mode’s occurrence over a range of loading conditions.
