# //RATING REMARKS="All discharge measurements made between the 2024 Water Year and Summer 2026 defined fill through a significant portion of Rating No. 50, which resulted in the use of truss-shaped shift diagrams. Rating No. 51 was developed using a 4.20 ft. offset and is based primarily on discharge measurements 983, 985 and 988-990. Due to a lack of current definition, the upper end was only extended 1.5 times past the measured discharge for No. 989, which shortened it up significantly from Rating No. 50. Rating no. 51 went into effect on Apr. 24, 2026 during a period of no-flow."
