GAGE -

Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 1,319.13 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) and 1,318.17 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).

REMARKS - Accuracy of records for water years prior to 2014 are noted in the individual Annual Data Reports for those water years. For water years 2014 onward, records fair except those for estimated discharges, which are poor. Richmond Lake is formed by a rolled earth dam with a concrete spillway. The reservoir has no control structure and a total storage of 11,500 acre-ft. Satellite data-collection platform at station.
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge (observed), 1,670 ft³/s, Mar. 29, 1997, gage height (observed), 9.44 ft, (backwater from ice, different site and same datum).
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Minimum daily discharge, 0.00 ft³/s, June 30, 2002, no flow at times in some years.
