After 1963, peak flows at Green River averaged 632 m3/s. The highest peak on record for <br />the Green River gage was 1,929 m3/s on 27 June 1917. Peak discharge at Green River exceeded <br />1,700 m3/s in 1897, 1909, 1917, and 1921 (Schmidt 1994). The lowest annual peak on record at <br />Green River was 183 m3/s on 17 May 1934. <br /> <br />Figure 3.5 depicts spring peak flows in the Green River near Jensen, Utah, from 1947 to <br />1996, with the component contributions of the Green and Yampa rivers indicated. Prior to the <br />closure of Flaming Gorge Dam, peak flows in the Green River were higher, and the relative <br />contributions of the Green and Yampa Rivers in producing the spring peak were very similar. <br />Following closure of the dam, the pattern changed. Mean annual peak flows were reduced, and the <br />
