14210000  CLACKAMAS RIVER AT ESTACADA, OR
LOCATION.--
Lat 45° 18'00", long 122° 21'10", in NE 1/4 sec.19, T.3 S., R.4 E., Clackamas County, Hydrologic Unit 17090011, on left bank 0.2 mi downstream from River Mill Dam, 1.5 mi northwest of Estacada, and at mile 23.1. DRAINAGE AREA.--671 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--April 1908 to current year. Monthly discharge only April 1908, published in WSP 1318. Published as "near Cazadero" January 1909 to September 1957. GAGE.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 286.93 ft above NGVD of 1929 (levels by Portland General Electric Co.). Water-stage recorder at same site at datum 12.00 ft higher. Feb. 17, 1965 to Sept. 30, 1991, water-stage recorder at same site at datum 10 ft higher. REMARKS.--Diurnal fluctuations and some regulation caused by powerplants at River Mill Dam and, since 1958, North Fork Dam. Minor regulation since 1956 by Timothy Lake (station 14208600). One small diversion upstream from station for city of Estacada municipal water supply. EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum discharge, 86,900 ft3/s Dec. 22, 1964, gage height, 18.36 ft (present datum); minimum discharge, 50 ft3/s Mar. 10, 1961, from rating curve extended below 260 ft3/s; minimum daily, 285 ft3/s Oct. 4, 5, 1958, caused by filling of North Fork dam forebay. NOTE: River forecasts and additional data can be obtained at the National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services web page. NOTE: The most current shifted rating for this site can be found at USGS Rating Depot website.
