USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
03283500 RED RIVER AT CLAY CITY, KY
LOCATION - Lat 37°51'53", long 83°56'01" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Powell County, KY, Hydrologic Unit 05100204, on right bank 25 feet upstream from bridge on State Highway 15, 0.1 miles downstream from Skinner Branch, 0.4 miles upstream from Brush Creek, 0.5 miles west of Clay City, and at mile 21.6.
DRAINAGE AREA - 362 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 1275: 1931-32. WSP 1385: Drainage area.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1930 to March 1932, April 1938 to current year. Monthly discharge only for October 1930, published in WSP 1305.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gages for peak verification.  Datum is 599.80 feet above NAVD of 1988 and 600.47 ft above NGVD of 1929.  Prior to August 14, 1939, nonrecording gages, August 14, 1939, to August 13, 1975, water-stage recorder at site 50 feet downstream at same datum.
REMARKS - A gas transmission compressor station, located 5.0 miles northwest of the gaging station, has an emergency water supply consisting of an intake structure about 75 ft upstream of the gage and a six inch pipe line running back to the plant. They estimate the capacity to be 150 gallons per minute. Any water removed from the river is either evaporated or discharged into Lulbegrud Creek, which discharges into Red River about 10.0 miles downstream of the gage. The plant is normally supplied from Lulbegrud Creek and an associated lake. The amount of water drawn from Red River is considered to be negligible.
