# Operated as a continuous-record gaging station.
1 Approximately.
2 Maximum gage height due to backwater from ice, actual discharge at time of maximum gage height was less than maximum discharge shown below.
3 Due to conditions at this location, computation of discharge not possible. Relocation planned.
4 Highest measured discharge. Probably higher discharge March 20, 1999, at a stage of 18.78 feet.
5 On or about.
6 Peak discharge was probably March 28, 1999, at a slightly greater amount. Suspect backwater from ice on peak. Site to be relocated.
7 Maximum gage height from high-water mark, 52.43 feet, probably occurred on April 22, 1997. Gage height at time of maximum discharge not known.
8 Observed.
9 Additional culvert/channel geometry required prior to determination of maximum discharge. Actual value will be published next water year.
10 Not previously published.
11 Backwater.
12 Estimated.
13 Not determined, gage damaged.
14 Revised.
15 Due to site conditions, site discontinued.
