<br />FIELD INVESTIGATION
<br />OIi' /~.
<br />ARK~NSAS RIVER STREAM GAGING STATIONS
<br />
<br />August 1 and 2, 1960
<br />
<br />The following men accompanied me on this investigation:
<br />
<br />Ross lVoor and Ed Tripp of the U. S. Geological Survey, Vlllliam
<br />
<br />Fagerqulst of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Fred Boydston ot the
<br />
<br />engineering staff of the Colorado Vi ater Conaervation Board, Ralph Adkins
<br />
<br />of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corp., D. E. Heizer, Commissioner of Water
<br />
<br />District No. 17,
<br />
<br />Their cooperation and advice was extremely helpful and Is gratefully
<br />
<br />acknowledged.
<br />
<br />Following is a list of stations visited with com.ments and recommenda_
<br />
<br />tions concerning the same:
<br />
<br />STATE LINE STATION - South of Coolidge, Kansas
<br />
<br />Tllis station was constructed by the U. S. G. S. In 1951 and is operated
<br />
<br />by them. It is well located and competently operated, Gage height is broad-
<br />
<br />cast each hour on a frequency of 265 ~ K. C. by means of a IIhom.e..tai1ored"
<br />
<br />radio transmitter operating on a 6 volt battery. To the reading obtained
<br />
<br />from this atation must be added the diversion of the Frontier Ditch to arrive
<br />
<br />st total State Line river flow. TheBe readings are also transmitted by radio
<br />
<br />each hour on the same frequency.
<br />
<br />These combined Citations have been charting river now since 19Ca.
<br />
<br />Some notes on the river station follow; 10,000 c. t. s. can be measured
<br />
<br />at the station before overflow of the north primary river bank occurs; the
<br />
<br />cableway clear span is 409,6 feet and required 511 feet of 7/8 inch Tramway
<br />
<br />Type wire rope; the 'A' trames are 25 feet high and were built with 6 inch
<br />
<br />'HI beams welded; cost of the complete cableway was $2,800. The recorder
<br />
<br />hauoe is built of concrete blocks on a concrete foundation and has a 60 inch
<br />
