Channel unstable as bed material continues to move during moderate events. Offset selected roughly based on 2023 GZF of 3.9 ft. Additional fill has occurred since then, so used 4.1 was used. Indirect msmt no. 788 was used roughly on the higher end but not drawn directly through due to the uncertainty associated with indirect msmts. Also, only drew Rating 14.0 about 20% beyond the indirect msmt instead of doubling the highest msmt. The lower end of the rating was determined using late 2025 and most of the 2026 msmts.\\n\\nApproved-PMS 9/22/2026: Straight line rating with no breakpoints, same slope, and brought to 0.0cfs. Due to the straight line, no reverses and confirmed using the Rating Smoothing Check Excel sheet. Agree with use of almost all measurements after Jun 2, 2025, excluding Qm 815 and 820.
