USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

08059400 Sister Grove Creek near Blue Ridge, TX

LOCATION - Lat 33°17'40", long 96°28'58" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Collin County, TX, Hydrologic Unit 12030106, on downstream side of bridge on Farm Road 545, 3.5 mi upstream from Hatler Branch, 4.8 mi west of Blue Ridge, 7.4 mi upstream from Stiff Creek, 14.7 mi upstream from mouth, and 24.7 mi upstream from Lavon Dam.

DRAINAGE AREA - 83.1 mi².

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - July 1975 to Sept. 2001 (daily mean discharge), Oct. 2001 to Apr. 2014 (peaks above base discharge), May 2014 to current year (daily mean discharge). PERIOD OF RECORD, Water-Quality.-- CHEMICAL DATA: Nov. 1985 to June 1987, Oct. 1995 to Nov. 2001. BIOCHEMICAL DATA: Nov. 1985 to June 1987, Oct. 1995 to Aug. 1999. PESTICIDE DATA: Nov. 2001. RADIOCHEMICAL DATA: Mar. to Aug. 1999. SEDIMENT DATA: Nov. 2001.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 526.29 ft above NGVD of 1929; 526.33 ft above NAVD of 1988. Prior to June 29, 1988, at datum 10.00 ft higher at same site. Satellite telemeter at station.

REMARKS - Some records listed in the "Period of Record" for surface water and water quality may not be available electronically. Since installation of gage in July 1975, at least 10% of contributing drainage area has been affected at times by discharge from the flood-detention pools of 34 floodwater-retarding structures. These structures control runoff from 47.4 mi². Discharge may contain flow pumped from Lake Texoma and placed into channel 40 miles upstream from site. No flow at times.

EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - A stage of 30.7 ft, present datum, probably occurred in July 1913, from information by the Texas Department of Transportation. The probable date is from published records for Sister Grove Creek near Princeton (station 08059500, discontinued) located 9.7 mi downstream.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 13,300 ft³/s, May 13, 1982, gage height, 22.50 ft (at datum then in use). Minimum discharge, no flow at times, most years.

AVERAGE DISCHARGE FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - 26 years (water years 1975-2001), 69.5 ft³/s (50,340 acre-ft/year).
