We plan to investigate further the <br />peak gage height and discharge recorded June 3,1997, and the extent of the umecorded <br />overflow. Bob Jarrett and Mark Smith will join personnel from our Meeker office to visit the site <br />when the remaining snow has melted, <br /> <br />We note that the gage was operating correctly at the time of the event and that the recorded gage <br />height was used for computation of the peak discharge of 5,370 cubic feet per second. This peak <br />discharge will be published in the 1997 data report. If our investigation substantiates a different <br />peak discharge, we will publish a revised record. <br /> <br />We will inform you of the results of the investigation and we appreciate your concern in this <br />matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at 236-4882, extension 258, or Mark Smith <br />at 236-4882, extension 255. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~Q~~ <br /> <br />~ William F.
