Dis- charge is computed on a as needed basis in the USGS computer by applying an area-velocity algorithm to compute streamflow. (b) USGS installs and operates a continuous water-quality monitor for the parameters of dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, pH, and water temperature. A Yellow Springs, Inc.. Model 600XL multi-parameter monitor is installed annually during May and operated through September (during periods of low oxygen levels). USGS cleans and calibrates sensors twice weekly. Data are available on a real-time basis and published in a USGS annual report of the Washington District. 2 USGS Station No. 12113347 CITY USGS TOTAL Mill Creek at Earthworks Park Streamflow data $4,750 $4,750 $9,500 (c) Real-time satellite telemetry 885 885 1,770 Telephone telemetry 400 0 400 Subtotal 6,035 5,635 11,670 (c) USGS operates peak-stage crest-stage gages upstream and downstream from street culvert downstream from gage.
