# //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 937, 988-990, and 993.   Due to a lack of current definition, the upper end was shortened up significantly from Rating No. 50. Rating no. 51 went into effect on Apr. 24, 2026 during a period of no-flow."
