WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - Water Year 2010 to current year.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - TURBIDITY: October 2010 to current year. WATER TEMPERATURE: October 2010 to current year.

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-Quality pumping samplers, stage, and water-quality monitoring of water temperature and turbidity since October 2010.

REMARKS - Turbidity records rated poor. Water Temperature records rated good. Interruptions in the record were due to malfunctions of the instrument. Turbidity data used to compute daily turbidity record were measured in-situ in unfiltered stream water using near IR LED light technology, 780-900 NM, and a detection angle of 90 degrees. Daily turbidity data are reported in Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU).

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - TURBIDITY: Maximum, 730 FNU, March 9, 2012; minimum, <4.0 FNU, on many days. WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum, 35.8 °C, June 6, 2011; minimum, 3.6 °C, Feb. 10, 2011.
