     Book—

 

The title of this report was changed from “Surface-Water Quality-Assurance Plan for the Washington District, U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Discipline” to “Surface-Water Quality-Assurance Plan for the U.S. Geological Survey Washington Water Science Center”

 

The term “Washington District” was changed to “Washington Water Science Center” throughout report.

 

Page 3: The organization chart for the Washington District was replaced with the organization chart for the “Washington Water Science Center.”

 

Page 4: A section titled “Washington Water Science Center Hydroacoustic Specialist” was added.

 

Page 9: A section titled “Collection of Precipitation Data” was added.

 

Page 12: A section titled “Measurement of Velocity” was added.

 

Page 17: A section titled “Direct Measurement of Discharge Using Hydroacoustic Instrumentation” was added.

 

Page 37: Appendix A. Applicable technical memorandums were updated.

Page 6:  The sentence, “The Discipline maintains a Web page (http://istop.usgs.gov/qa) for the evaluation, acceptance testing, and calibration for entire classes of instrumentation,” was deleted from the bottom of the first column.

 

Page 10: The partial sentences, “at the URL http://1stop.usgs.gov/qa,” and “in their Proposed Instrumentation Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program Pilot Study, available at URL http://1stop.usgs.gov/icom.”, were deleted from the bottom of the first paragraph in the first column.

 

Page 20: The sentence, “OSW memorandum 97.01 and Water Resources Discipline memorandum 96.32 discuss computer programs SAC (Fulford, 1994), used for computing peak discharge with the slope-area method, CAP (Fulford, 1995), used to compute peak discharge at culverts, and NCALC, used to compute Manning’s n value from a known discharge, water-surface profile, and cross-section properties.”, at the top of the second column, was replaced with:

“Fulford (1994) discusses computer program SAC, used for computing peak discharge with the slope-area method, and computer program CAP (Fulford, 1995), used to compute peak discharge at culverts. Jarrett and Petsch (1985) discuss NCALC, used to compute Manning’s n value from a known discharge, water-surface profile, and cross-section properties.”

 

Page 23: The partial sentence, “which can both be accessed on the District Internal Web Page (http://wwwdwatcm.wr.usgs.gov/uo/internal) under the Data heading.”, was deleted from the bottom of the first paragraph of the first column.

 

Page 36: The sentences, “An abundance of safety-related information is maintained on the District’s Internal Web Page at http://wwwdwatcm.wr.usgs.gov/usgs-only/internal/wadmin/safety.htm. This page has a link to the WRD Safety Homepage, http://1stop.usgs.gov/safety, which contains much additional safety-related information. The information by Topic category on this page is of particular interest to hydrographers because it contains a section on Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs). JHAs are safety issues that relate directly to field work.”, were deleted from near the bottom of the second paragraph of the second column.

 

Page 38:  References Cited:  This reference was added.  “Jarrett, R.D., and Petsch, H.E., Jr., 1985, Computer program NCALC user’s manual¾Verification of Manning’s roughness coefficient in channels: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4317, 27 p.”

 

Page 40: Appendix A. The URL in the first sentence was changed to http://water.usgs.gov/admin/memo/.  The remainder of the paragraph was deleted.  From the list of memorandum, “Office of Surface Water Technical Memorandum 97.01” and “Water Resources Discipline Memorandum 96.32” were deleted.

 

Page 41: Appendix B. Number 2:  The URL http://1stop.usgs.gov/safety/topic/cableways.shtml was deleted.
