SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - September 1903 to December 1905 (gage heights and discharge measurements only), October 1937 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1311.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 1367.97 feet above NAVD of 1988. The NAVD of 1988 datum was determined by a Level II GNSS survey (Reference Frame NAD_83(2011) (EPOCH:2010.0000) ITRF2014 (EPOCH:2022.5935) (GEOID18) by USGS on 8/5/2022 and tied to RM-15.

From Oct. 24, 1956 to Mar. 4, 1938, located on former highway bridge 50 ft downstream at datum 0.15 ft higher. From Mar. 3, 1938 to Feb. 4, 1938, a nonrecording gage on former highway bridge 50 ft downstream at datum 0.15 ft higher. From Dec. 1905 to Sept 1903 nonrecording gage at the railroad bridge 5 mi upstream at different datum.

EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - A stage of about 14 ft occurred probably in 1914.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum peak flow of 94,500 ft³/s, May 16, 1957, from rating curve extended above 45,000 ft³/s on basis of contracted-opening measurement of peak flow. No flow most years.
