# //RATING REMARKS="Revised rating May 3, 2024 based on fill after 2023 flooding. Used recent GZF 2.55 ft as an approximation of offset.  Recent measurements given more weight and upper end not fully extended as previously. Extended past Meas. no. 471 to 10.01 ft and 2,440 cfs. Lower end section control to about 3.30 ft then channel control in intermediate section. More overbank conditions as rating lays over to right and slopes above 2.00. Reviewed, JBS (5/7/2024) - Reason for new rating is justified due to fill after 2023 flood. No reversals requiring smoothing. There is still low flow scatter in defintion obtained since the flood, I believe low end is appropriate and goes to zero. Upper end may need to be extended as necessary. Slopes are consistent with control types. I agree with giving more weight to #558 instead of 560 as 560 had light debris noted on the control. Rating may need adjusted as further defintion is obtained. "
