@clark, Rachel Johnson (@johnson) will be scheduling a time soon to redeploy this station at your office site at Schuylkill River Greenways, as well as scheduling a time to install the two new stations at Berks Nature and The Schuylkill Center.  We’ll be in touch!

This is the report for 7/11/20

@lemon, @vogt, sl153 – Hunter Ck U-Strohl Valley. Since 7/8/20 the water depth has been fluctuating frequently in a 24-hr period. Is this reflecting natural changes? The depth values themselves do not seem unusual – 400mm or 500mm maximum during rain event on 7/10.

@ebel, @molloy, sl131 – Little Lehigh at Mill Brook Farms. Battery is slowly dropping and now 3.67v; consider recharging battery. Sensors require cleaning in order to see storm-related changes in turbidity.

@melvin, @ruggiero, sl171 – Loper run.  Turbidity is/has been so high that sediment or fouling might be affecting e-conductivity and depth measurements because it is flatlined at 0 μS/cm since late on 7/10, while water depth is reading 2.4-2.7 meters.

@renzi, sl279-Valley Ck near Ecology Pk, and sl286-Valley Ck at Valley Ck Park.  Sl279 battery is persistently declining, now 3.64v; consider recharging. Sl286, turbidity is >1100 NTU since 7/6/20 indicating sensors might be buried in sediment or other material.

This is the report for 7/19/20.

It is a more limited report, and indicates battery issues and if data is being sent up to date.

Let me know if you have comments or suggestions. For example, would you prefer the site id, rather than the logger id to identify your station?

The following stations have batteries that are declining and below the recommended 3.7v level:
<div>@toran, sl118, UT to Sandy Run, Last battery reading on 7/19 was 3.53-3.64v</div>
<div>@ebel, @molloy, sl131, Little Lehigh, Last battery reading on 7/19 was 3.65v</div>
<div>@weinberg, @troscianecki, sl134, Mine Hole, Last battery reading was 3.65v</div>
<div>@griffith, @seeds, @fisher, sl168, Punches R, Last battery reading on 7/19 was 3.47v</div>
<div>@melvin, @ruggiero, sl172, Indian Field Br, Last battery reading was 3.56v</div>
<div>@renzi, sl279, Valley Ck, Ecology Park, Last battery reading was 3.59v</div>
<div>@renzi, sl286, Valley Ck, Valley Ck Park, Last battery reading was 3.67v</div>

This is a report for 8/10/20.

@mcgrath, @weaver, @mooney.  sl155, Ridley Ck U.  Battery has dropped, and is now stable at 3.55-3.6v.

This is the report for 8/23/20

@weinberg, @troscianecki, PKMH2S, SL134, Mine Hole, Battery is down to 3.49v, is charging to 3.5v or 3.6v, but recharging/switching battery would prevent logger failure.

@griffith, @sarnoski, MSAC1S, SL167, Angelica Ck-St. Bernadine.  Turbidity has been >1200NTU since 8/12/20.

This is the report for 9/3/20

@coffey, @moyer, @tice, @molloy.  SL136(MSHO2S:Hosensack C, Hwy 29) – The battery is no longer charging from the solar panel since 9/1/20, and remains at 3.55v.

@nolan. KCMR1S:UT to Muddy run, Sheep Pen Rd, NJ. Battery regularly at 3.44v, and recharging only to 3.5v. Signals being transmitted less frequently.

This is the report for 9/27/20

@Roth,  SL112(PUPP3S:Pennypack D-PaperMillBridge). Data transmitting periodically, battery at floor of 3.55v and recharges only to 3.56 since 9/6/20.

@Blanton, SL117(PUSR1S:Sandy Run). Long gaps in signal occurring, battery at 3.5v.  SL118(PUSR3S:UT to Sandy Run): Long gaps in signal occurring, battery at 3.5v.

@McGrath, @weaver, @mooney.  SL156(PURC2S:Ridley Ck D). CTD not functioning as of 9/23, conductivity, temp, and depth reading -9999.0.

@Ebel, @molloy, SL131(ULLL2S:Little Lehigh at Mill Brook Farms).  Station still offline since 9/12/20 when battery was 3.8v.

@collins, SL158 (PUPC2S:Primrose Ck U-Solebury School). Is it safe to leave sensors and station at the stream site since the sinkhole?  They are still transmitting but data might not be valid; water depth and temperature are correlating.

@ferrell, SL189 (BCPC1S:Independence School-UT to Pike Ck).  Battery is very low – 3.55v, and the station is transmitting intermittently.

SL289 (PUSR4S:Schuylkill River at SCEE). Battery at 3.53v and station transmitting only intermittently. (The deployment info for this station does not appear on the master deployment google sheet, so could not notify station owner).

This is the report for 10/10/20

@collins, SL159 (PUPC3S:Primrose Ck D at Delaware R) battery has declined persistently since late August, now at 3.6v. Data does not appear interrupted.

@melvin, @ruggiero, SL171 (KCLR1S:Loper Run) battery remains low, 3.55v, station is transmitting intermittently.

@archer, SL246 (PUMC1S:Mill Creek – Silver Lake Nature Center) turbidity sensor is very frequently reading below 0 NTU since early October, sometimes < -20 NTU.

[Carol ArmstrongParticipant]

This is the report for 10/18/2020

@shanemorgan, SL132, BCMC2S:Mill C-Hickory Hills, data is transmitting and up to date, but signal strength and percent full scale became -9999 around 10/15.

@wang, SL176, PUSR2S:Schuylkill River-Bartram’s Garden, last observation from station recorded on MonMW was 10/13/20. Battery was >4.0v.

@renzi, SL279(SHVC1S:Valley Creek – Ecology Park), Last observation from these sensors was 7:25am today (8+ hrs ago), battery was 3.73v.
