This station has been operation since 1967, although this 44 year long record has not been updated with verified data for 2011 and 2012.
Seasonal open water flow measurements are taken at this location. From 1967 - 1987 manual measurements were taken. In 1988 through 2012 a data recorder has been in place.
A cable trolley to pull the technician across the water is available for manual data collection.
"2009 MINIMUM DAILY AND INSTANTANEOUS DISCHARGE MAY HAVE OCCURRED OUTSIDE OPERATING PERIOD.
2010 MINIMUM DAILY AND INSTANTANEOUS DISCHARGE MAY HAVE OCCURRED OUTSIDE OPERATING PERIOD."
With the set up of the station near the start of the open water season there is potential that some data may be missed.
