REVISIONS HISTORY -
WDR GA-2013: Drainage area.
The maximum peak streamflow was revised for the 2020 water year. The 2020 water year peak streamflow occurred on 04/20/20 and was estimated over 10% higher from the discharge output from the expanded rating table when a straight line extension was added to Rating 3.0. Rating 3.0 was created after the 04/20/20 peak occurred, however it was used to aid in the estimated discharge on 04/20/20 as the rating was created after high flow measurements were performed.
Gage datum was revised on December 7, 2021 based on an error in the determination of the gage datum.
