Leviathan Mine Pond 1 Nr Markleeville Ca reservoir
Leviathan Mine Pond 1 Nr Markleeville Ca
Leviathan Mine Pond 1, located near Markleeville, California, is a historical mining site that was designated a Superfund site in 2000 due to high concentrations of toxic heavy metals in the water. Hydrology studies have shown that the pond is connected to several springs and creeks in the area, which can transport the contaminated water downstream. Surface flow from surrounding hills and snowpack melting contribute to the pond's water source, which is treated to remove toxic metals before being discharged. The area around the pond is primarily used for cattle grazing, and there are no recreational activities permitted due to potential exposure to toxic materials. Ongoing remediation efforts are being undertaken to reduce the environmental impact of the mine and restore the natural ecosystem.

About Leviathan Mine Pond 1 Nr Markleeville Ca
Where does the data for Leviathan Mine Pond 1 Nr Markleeville Ca come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
