Reviewed rating 7/15/26. Ran through the reversal spreadsheet tool and no reversals found. The lower end of rating subject to minor fill. Recent GZF measurements of near 2.00 ft and above used as approximation of lower offset. Slope of lower segment is 2.03 and indicative of section control. Measurements noted as section or combined control upto 3.50 ft. More weight given for more recent measurements in 2025-2026 WY's. A break point at 4.32 ft (offset =+0.50 ft) where recent higher Meas. 194-196 are used to derive the upper portion splitting these measurements. Rating only extended to 7.90 ft and 3,120 cfs. Channel upstream and approach changed after 2011 flooding where flows bypassed on right bank upstream of gage. Now higher stages are contained where some road overflow occurred before it occurs now at a higher stage." # //RATING EXPANSION="logarithmic" # //RATING BREAKPOINT1=4.320310E+00 # //RATING OFFSET1=2.000000E+00 OFFSET2=5.000000E-01 # //RATING_INDEP ROUNDING="????"
