The selected site was Queen Anne <br />Bottom near Bonita Bend, approximately 20 miles downstream. The reason for this site <br />selection was that the Recovery Program flooded bottomlands work being conducted in <br />Canyonlands was focused on this lower reach of river. The flooded bottomlands work was <br />conducted from-river mile 25.3 to 34.2. In addition, the FLO Engineering field crew needed <br />access to the gage to record staff gage heights after discharge measurements. The selected <br />gaging site is an historic ferry cross section at Queen Anne Bottom (river mile 32.5). The <br />location of the gage is on the left bank on a bedrock outcrop where remanents of the ferry <br />crossing can be found (Figure 1). It is approximately 1 mile upstream of the Bonita Bend staff <br />gage. <br />a <br />J <br />~~ <br />v <br />~\ <br />\\ <br />pw„ <br />Cllff 1 / <br />pwemng . <br />~ . <br />I <br />bevel I.ogger~'~ <br />- ~ ~~ Queen <br />~ ,J Anne <br />Bgtta <br />_~-' <br />~B~e~ o9~yp <br />Boitom~ <br />' \ ~~ <br />1 •' ` <br />~, - -v _ <br />~ /Beau r ~'~~ 3 <br />Figure 1.
