Description
USGS lake/reservoir monitoring location 11287500 (DON PEDRO RES NR LA GRANGE CA). Coordinates are the USGS monitoring-location point. Current continuous values are lake/reservoir elevation only; elevation is not lake-body thermal. Existing ENABLE-2 L-B Estimated-eligible identity is preserved. Surface area and depth remain unset. Unavailable would be dishonest here because the existing Estimated path remains the accepted class.
