  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Supersaturation of total dissolved gases (TDG) can potentially occur in the tailrace water at the Youghiogheny River at dam outlet tunnel near Confluence, Pennsylvania (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] streamgaging and monitoring station 03077100). The USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, established methods to collect and report TDG saturation data in the tailrace below the Youghiogheny Dam. Monitoring and TDG data collection started in June 2008 and continues currently (2025). Data are collected from June 1 through November 30 of each year, and these data are used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to guide management of the dam outflow. Methods used for data collection, processing, reporting, and quality assurance for TDG monitored at USGS station 03077100 are presented in this report. The TDG data are publicly available in the USGS National Water Information System database.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
