GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 338.69 ft above NGVD of 1929 and 338.51 ft above NAVD of 1988. Prior to Feb. 21, 1983, at datum 5.00 ft higher. 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 Sept. 1953, at least 10% of contributing drainage area has been regulated. The City of Forney discharges wastewater effluent into a tributary below Lake Ray Hubbard and above this station. The North Texas Municipal Water District discharges wastewater effluent into tributaries above this station from their Mesquite and Changler's Landing wastewater treatment plants. The North Texas Municipal Water District periodically diverts water immediately upstream of gage for water reuse. Flow is also affected at times by discharge from floodwater-retarding structures controlling runoff from a 39.2 mi² area above this station. No flow at times.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD PRIOR TO REGULATION - WATER YEARS, 1950-1953: Maximum discharge, 24,000 ft³/s May 4, 1950 (gage height, 22.12 ft); no flow at times.

AVERAGE DISCHARGE FOR PERIOD PRIOR TO REGULATION - 4 years (water years 1950-53) prior to regulation by Lavon Lake, 652 ft³/s (472,400 acre-ft/yr).
