# //RATING REMARKS="Developed due to the significant scour from historic 2022 floods which caused significant scour on the lower and mid ranges and fill on hte upper end. No GZF's were made after the flood, thus an offset of 0 was chosen based on fit.  The lower end has a slope of 2.182, which is section control as indicated by meas. nos. 884-886.  The slope above stages of 2.83 changes to 1.943 which is channel control.  The rating was drawn to meas. no 879 which was an indirect.  More definition is needed.  "

Intermediate and lower portions defined by recent measurments post flood.  A straightline relationship used until more data becomes available.  Temporary scour indicated by Meas. 880 on upper end during flood peak but not given full weight for rating defintion. Offset selected at based on past GZF measurements but some channel scour occurred after the flood event"
