REMARKS.--Flood control dam constructed 1965-1969. Low flow slightly regulated and high flow completely regulated by flood-control dam 370 ft upstream. Data-collection platform at station.

The water temperature data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 30 days. Water temperature instrumentation may not be calibrated, and other quality assurance measures may not be performed that would make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
