LOCATION.--Lat 40°26'04", long 105°10'47"

DRAINAGE AREA.--

GAGE.--A-35 Stevens recorder and Data Collection Platform (DCP) with shaft encoder in a wooden shelter
with inside electric tape. A High Data Rate DCP was installed during the 2003 water year to
replace the old 8004 model. The DCP is the primary record with the graphic chart recorder as back
up.

REMARKS.--The primary record is hourly date from satellite monitoring with chart back up. Daily maximum
and minimum stages for the satellite record checked to within +0.02 with the chart. The record is
complete and reliable. Shaft encoder corrections of up to 0.02 ft. were entered in Records program
and prorated hourly by time. Also from October 17 to November 4, 2002 a -0.08 ft. correction was
applied because a log was on the control affecting the gage-height. The record is good. Station
maintained and record developed by Shera Sumerford.
