SCOPE OF WORK

This volume is one of a series of 37 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, of 

streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1961-65 water years. Since 1888, when the 

U.S. Geological Survey first studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have 

been obtained at more than 17,500 gaging stations in the 50 States. On September 30, 1965, the Geological 

Survey and cooperating organizations were maintaining 9,100 gaging stations. Partial-record stations for 

low flow or for floodflow have been operated at many other points. The records for the 1961-65 water years 

at gaging stations and partial-record stations in the Pacific Slope basins in California, Northern Central 

Valley, are given in this report.

COOPERATION

Many State, municipal, and private organizations have cooperated with the Geological Survey in this 

work by either furnishing or helping to collect data. Organizations that supplied data are acknowledged in 

station descriptions, and organizations that assisted in the collection of data through cooperative agreements 

with the Survey are as follows:

California California Department of Water Resources; Lake County Flood Control and Water 

Conservation District; and Georgetown Divide Public Utility District.

Oregon--State Engineer of Oregon and the State Highway Commission.

Assistance in the form of funds and services was given by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, in collecting records published herein for 7 gaging stations; by the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of 

the Interior, for 10 stations; by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, for 5 stations; and by 

the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, for 2 stations.

The following organizations aided in collecting records:

California Clear Lake Water Co.; Pacific Gas and Electric Co.; Placer County Water Agency; 

Sacremento Municipal Utility District; Nevada Irrigation District; and Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation 

District.

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 

The terms of streamflow and other hydrologic data, as used in this report, are defined as follows:

Gaging station is a particular site on a stream, canal, lake, or reservoir where systematic observations 

of gage height or discharge are obtained. When used in connection with a discharge record, the term Is 

applied herein only to those gaging stations where a continuous record of discharge is obtained.

Hydrologic bench-mark station is one that provides hydrologic data for a basin in which the hydrologic 

regimes will likely be governed solely by natural conditions. Data collected at a bench-mark station may 

be used to separate effects of natural from manmade changes in other basins which have been developed and 

in which the physiography, climate, and geology are similar to those in the undeveloped bench-mark basin.

Partial-record station is a particular site where limited streamflow data are collected systematically 

over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses.

Discharge is the volume of water in a stream which passes a given point in a unit of time.

Cubic foot per second (cfs) is the rate of discharge representing a volume of 1 cubic foot passing a given 

point during 1 second and is equivalent to 7.48 gallons per second or 448.8 gallons per minute.

Cubic feet per second per square mile (cfsm) is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per 

second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the runoff is distributed uniformly in time 

and area.

Runoff in inches (in.) shows the depth to which the drainage area would be covered If all the runoff 

a given time period were uniformly distributed on it.

Acre-foot (ac-ft) is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot and Is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet or 325,851 gallons.

Cfs-day is the volume of water represented by a flow of 1 cubic foot per second for 24 hours. It Is equivalent to 86,400 cubic feet, 1.983471 acre-feet, or 646,317 gallons, and represents a runoff of 0.0372 Inch 

from 1 square mile.

Stage-discharge relation is the relation between gage height (the stage of the stream In relation to a 

reference gage) and the amount of water flowing in a channel, expressed as volume per unit of time.

Control designates a feature downstream from the gage that determines the stage-discharge relation 

at the gage. This feature may be a natural constriction of the channel, an artificial structure, or a uniform 

cross section over a long reach of the channel.

Contents is the volume of water in a reservoir. Unless otherwise indicated, volume Is computed on the 

basis of a level pool and does not include bank storage.

Drainage area of a stream above a specified location Is that area, measured In a horizontal plane, 

enclosed by a topographic divide from which direct surface runoff from precipitation normally drains by 

gravity Into the river above the specified point. Figures of drainage area given herein Include all closed 

basins, or noncontrtbuting area, within the area unless otherwise noted.

WSP is used as an abbreviation for "Water-Supply Paper" In reference to previously published reports.
EXPLANATION OF DATA 3

DOWNSTREAM ORDER AND STATION NUMBER

Beginning with the series of reports for the water year ending September 30, 1951, the order of listing 

gaging-station records Is in a downstream direction along the main stem. All stations on a tributary 

entering above a main-stem station are listed before that station. A station on a tributary that enters 

between two main-stem stations Is listed between them. A similar order is followed in listing stations on 

first rank, second rank, and other ranks of tributaries. The rank of any tributary on which a gaging station is situated with respect to the stream to which it is immediately tributary is indicated by an indention 

in the listing of gaging stations in the table of contents of this report. Each indention represents one rank. 

This downstream order and system of indention show which gaging stations are on tributaries between any 

two stations and the rank of the tributary on which each gaging station Is situated.

The order of listing used before the publication of the 1951 report listed first all stations on the main 

stem from headwaters toward mouth, then all stations on the uppermost tributary to the main stem from 

the tributary's source to mouth, and then all stations from source to mouth of the uppermost tributary to 

the tributary.

As an added means of identification, each gaging station and partial-record station has been assigned 

a number. Numbers have been assigned in the same downstream order as described in this report. In 

assigning station numbers, no distinction is made between partial-record stations and regular gaging 

stations; the station number for a partial- record station indicates downstream-order position in a list 

made up of both types of stations. Gaps are left in the numbers to allow for new stations that may be 

established; hence the numbers are not consecutive. The complete 8-digit number for each station, such 

as 11-4095.00, includes the part number "11" plus a 6-dIgit number. In this report the nonessential zeros 

are not shown. For example, the complete number 11-4095.00 will appear asll-4095, just to the left of 

the station name.

EXPLANATION OF DATA

The base data collected at gaging stations consist of records of stage and measurements of discharge. 

In addition, observations of factors affecting the stage-discharge relation, weather records, and other 

Information are used as needed to supplement base data In determining the dally flow. Records of stage 

are obtained from a water-stage recorder that gives a continuous graph of fluctuations (for digital recorders, a tape punched at 15-, 30-, or 60-mlnute intervals) or from direct readings on a nonrecording gage. 

Measurements of discharge are made with a current meter by the general methods adopted by the Geological Survey on the basis of experience In stream gaging since 1888. These methods are described in WaterSupply Paper 888 and in U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of Water Resources Investigations; book 3, 

chapter A6.

Rating tables giving the discharge for any stage are prepared from stage-discharge relation curves 

defined by discharge measurements. If extensions to the rating curves are necessary to define the extremes 

of discharge, they are made on the basis of indirect measurements of peak discharge, (such as slope-area 

or contracted-opening measurements, computation of flow over dams or weirs, and by other methods), 

velocity-area studies, and logarithmic plotting. The application of the daily mean gage height to those 

rating tables gives the dally mean discharge, from which the monthly and the yearly mean discharges are 

computed. If the stage-discharge relation is subject to change because of frequent or continual change in 

the physical features that form the control, the daily mean discharge is determined by the shifting-control 

method. In which correction factors based on individual discharge measurements and on notes by engineers 

and observers are used in applying the gage heights to the rating tables. If the stage-discharge relation
4 SURFACE WATER SUPPLY, 1961-65, PART 11, VOLUME 4

for a station Is temporarily changed by the presence of aquatic growth of debris on the control, the dally 

mean discharge Is computed by what Is basically the shifting-control method.

At some gaging stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by backwater from reservoirs, 

tributary streams, or other sources. This necessitates the use of the slope method In which the slope or 

fall In a reach of the stream is a factor In determining discharge. Information requisite for determining 

the slope or fall Is obtained by means of an auxiliary gage set at some distance from the base gage. At 

some stations the stage-discharge relation Is affected by rapid change In stage. If so, the rate of change 

In stage Is used as a factor In determining discharge.

At most gaging stations In the northern part of the United States and at some In the mountainous regions 

of other parts of the country the stage-discharge relation is affected by Ice during the winter, and It 

becomes Impossible to compute the discharge In the usual manner. Discharge for periods of Ice effect 

Is computed on the basis of gage-height record and occasional winter discharge measurements, consideration being given to the available Information on temperature and precipitation, notes by gage observers and 

hydrologists, and comparable records of discharge for other stations in the same or nearby basins.

For some gaging stations there are periods when no gage-height record Is obtained or the recorded 

gage height is so faulty that It cannot be used to compute the dally discharge. This happens when the 

recorder stops or otherwise fails to operate properly, intakes are plugged, float is frozen in the well, or 

for various other reasons. For such periods the daily discharges are estimated on the basis of recorded 

range in stage, adjoining good record, discharge measurements, weather records, and comparison with 

other station records from the same or nearby basins.

The data In this report generally comprise a description of the station, and tables showing the dally 

discharge and monthly and yearly discharges of the stream. Records are published on a water year basis 

which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30.

The description of the station gives the location, drainage area, records available, type and history of 

gages, average discharge, extremes of discharge, general remarks, and notations on revisions of the previously published record. The location of the gaging station and the drainage area are obtained from the 

most accurate maps available. River mileage, given under "Location" for some stations, Is that determined 

and used by the Corps of Engineers unless otherwise noted. Under "Records available" are given the periods 

for which there are publiahed records generally equivalent to those at present site. Under "Gage" are 

given the type of gage currently in use and the datum of the present gage above mean sea level, and a 

condensed history of the types, locations, and da turns of previous gages used during the period of records 

available. The reference to "datum of 1929" and adjustments of other years are to the datum and adjustments of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Under "Average discharge" Is given the average discharge 

for the number of years indicated. It is not given for stations having fewer than five complete years of 

record or for stations where changes in water development during the period of record cause the figure to 

have little significance. Under "Extremes" are given, usually in tabular form, the maximum instantaneous 

discharge and gage height for the current wster years (1961-65); the minimum instantaneous discharge If 

there is little or no regulation; the minimum dally discharge if there is extensive regulation (also the minimum instantaneous discharge if it is abnormally low); and the minimum gage height if it is also abnormally 

low. For stations for which peak discharges are published, all independent peaks above the selected base 

and the time of occurrence and corresponding gage heights are published in the first table under 

"Extremes." The base discharge, which Is given In parentheses in the table heading, is selected so that an 

average of about three peaks a year will be presented. Peak discharges are not published for any canals, 

ditches, drains, or for any stream for which the peaks are subject to substantial control by man. Time of 

day is expressed in 24-hour local standard time; for example, 12:30 a.m. is 0030, 1:30 p.m. is 1330. The
EXPLANATION OP DATA 5

minlmums for these stations are published In a separate table following the table of peaks. In the paragraph 

following the current data, the data given are for the periods of record within the calendar year dates In 

the heading (not necessarily those for the complete years indicated by the heading dates). Reliable information concerning major floods that have occurred outside the period of record are given in the last paragraph 

under "Extremes." Unless otherwise qualified, the maximum discharge corresponds to the crest stage 

obtained by use of a water-stage recorder (graphic or digital), a crest-stage gage, or a nonrecording gage 

read at the time of the crest. If the maximum gage height did not occur at the same time as the maximum 

discharge, it is given separately. Information pertaining to the accuracy of the records and conditions 

which affect the natural flow at the gaging station is given under "Remarks."

Previously published records of some stations have been found to be In error on the basia of data or 

information later obtained. Revisions of such reports are usually published along with the current records 

In one of the annual or compilation reports. In order to make It easier to find such revised records, a 

paragraph headed "Revisions (water years)" has been added to the description of all stations for which 

revised records have been published. Listed therein are all the reports in which revisions have been 

published, each followed by the water years for which figures are revised in that report. In listing the water 

yesrs only one number Is given; for instance, 1933 stands for the.* water year October 1, 1932, to 

September 30, 1933. If no dally, monthly, or annual figures of discharge are concerned in the revision, the 

fact Is brought out by notations after the year dates as follows: "(M)" means that only the instantaneous 

maximum discharge was revised; "(m)" that only the instantaneous minimum was revised; and "(P)" that 

only peak discharges were revised. If the drainage area has been revised, the report in which the revised 

figure was first published is given. It should be noted that for all stations for which cubic feet per second 

per square mile andrunofflninchesarepubllshed, a revision of the drainage area necessitates corresponding revision of all figures based on the drainage area. Revised figures of cubic feet per second per square 

mile and runoff in inches resulting from a revision of the drainage srea only are usually not published in 

the annual series of reports.

The daily table gives the discharge corresponding to the daily mean gage height unless there are large 

or rapid changes In the discharge during a day. For days having large or rapid changes, discharge for the 

day is computed by averaging the mean discharge for several parts of the day. For digital recorders, the 

daily mean discharge is always the average of the discharges at each punched reading. For stations equipped 

with non-recording gages, the daily discharge corresponds to once-daily readings of the gage or to the mean 

of twice-daily readings; but for periods of rapidly changing stage, the discharge Is determined from gageheight graph based on gage readings.

In the monthly summary below the dally table, the line headed "TOTAL" gives the sum of the dally 

figures; it is the total cfs-days for the month. The line headed "MEAN" gives the average flow in cubic 

feet per second during the month. On the line headed "MAX" the figures are the maximum daily discharges 

for the months,-not the momentary maximum discharges. Likewise, the line headed "MIN" are the minimum 

dally discharges for the months. Discharge for the month may be expressed in cubic feet per second per 

square mile (line headed "CFSM"), or in inches (line headed "IN"), or in acre-feet (line headed "AC-FT"). 

Figures for cubic feet per second per square mile and runoff in inches are omitted if the drainage area 

includes large noncontrlbuting areas, or If the average annual rainfall over the drainage basin is usually 

less than 20 Inches, or if the flow is appreciably affected by regulation by upstream reservoirs.

In the yearly summary below the monthly summary, the figures of maximum are the maximum daily 

discharges for the calendar and water years; likewise, the minlmums are the minimum daily discharges.

Footnotes to the table of daily discharge are introduced by the word "NOTE." Footnotes are used to 

indicate periods for which the discharge is computed or estimated by special methods because of no gage-

height record, backwater from various sources, or other unusual conditions. Periods of no gage-height 

record are Indicated If the period Is continuous for a month or more or Includes the maximum discharge 

for the year. Periods of backwater from an unusual source, of indefinite stage-discharge relation, or of 

any other unusual condition at the gage site are Indicated only if they are a month or more in length and 

the accuracy of the records Is affected. Days on which the stage-discharge relation is affected by ice are 

not Indicated. The methods used In computing discharge for various unusual conditions have been explained 

In preceding paragraphs.

For most gaging stations on lakes and reservoirs the data presented comprise a description of the station and a monthly summary table of stage and contents. For some reservoirs a table showing dally 

contents or stage Is given. A skeleton table of capacity at given stages Is published for all reservoirs for 

which records are published on a daily basis, but is not published for reservoirs for which only monthly 

data are given.

ACCURACY OF FIELD DATA AND COMPUTED RESULTS

The accuracy of streamflow data depends primarily on (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation 

or. If the control la unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements, and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, measurements of discharge, and Interpretation of records.

The station description under "Remarks" states the degree of accuracy of the records. "Excellent" 

means that about 95 percent of the dally discharges are within 5 percent; "good", within 10 percent; and 

"fair" within 15 percent. "Poor" means that daily discharges have less than "fair" accuracy.

In earlier reports the figures of daily mean discharge, computed manually, were usually rounded to 

tenths below 10 cfs, but the roundlng rules were not rigid; some discharges were given to hundredths If 

the accuracy was sufficiently good and others were rounded to whole numbers if the accuracy was poor. 

In this report, however, most of the tables of dally mean discharge are tabulated by a computer which 

rounds the figures solely on basis of the magnitude of the discharge. Therefore, zeros to the right of the 

decimal point should not be construed to Indicate an accuracy greater than is stated in the "Remarks" 

paragraph.

Discharge at some stations, as indicated by the monthly mean, may vary widely from natural runoff, 

owing to diversion, consumption, regulation by storage, increase or decrease in evaporation due to artificial causes, or to other factors. For such stations, figures of cubic feet per second per square mile and 

of runoff In Inches are not published unless satisfactory adjustments can be made for diversions, for 

changes In contents of reservoirs, or for other changes Incident to use and control. Evaporation from a 

reservoir is not Included In the adjustments for changes in reservoir contents, unless it is so stated. Even 

at those stations where adjustments are made, large errors in computed runoff may occur if adjustments 

or losses are large In comparison with the observed discharge.

OTHER DATA AVAILABLE

Data collected at partial-record stations are given at the end of this report. Data for partial-record 

stations are presented in two tables. The first is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partialrecord stations, and the second Is a table of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations. 

Occasionally, a series of discharge measurements are made within a short time period to investigate the 

seepage gains or losses along a reach of a stream or to determine the low-flow characteristics of an area. 

Such measurements are given In special tables following the tables of partial-record stations.
PUBLICATIONS 7

Information of a more detailed nature than that published for most of the gaging stations is on file in 

the district offices, such as discharge measurements, gage-height records, and rating tables. Many 

gaglng-station records have been analyzed to give several statistical summaries, mainly: (1) the number 

of days in each year that the daily discharge was between selected limits (duration tables); (2) the lowest 

mean discharge for selected numbers of consecutive days in each year; and (3) the highest mean discharge 

for selected numbers of consecutive days in each year.

At or near some gaging stations, water-quality records also are collected. Data are obtained on the 

chemical quality of the stream water, on water temperature, on suspended-sediment concentration, and 

on the particle-size distribution of suspended sediment and bed material. Under "Remarks" of the station 

. description, reference is made to water-quality records collected on a regular basis for that station. 

Results of the data collected are published in water-supply papers entitled "Quality of Surface Waters of 

the United States," and in annual reports issued by States beginning with the 19641 water year. These 

annual reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for (state). Fart 2, Water Quality Records." Information on the availability of electronic computer analyses, unpublished data, or quality of water records 

may be obtained from the district offices listed on page 1.

PUBLICATIONS

Through September 30, 1960, the records of discharge and stage of streams and contents and stage of 

lakes or reservoirs were published in an annual series of U.S. Geological Surrey water-supply papers 

entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States." Prior to 1951, there were 14 volumes in the series; 

one for each of the 14 parts whose boundaries coincided with certain natural drainage lines within the 

conterminous United States. From 1951 to 1960, there were 20 volumes in the series, including one each. 

for the States of Alaska and Hawaii.

This report marks the beginning of a new series of water-supply papers to be published on a 5-year 

basis. This series covers the 5-year period October 1, 1960, to September 30,1965. To meet interim 

requirements, streamflow and related data have been released by the Geological Survey in annual reports, 

beginning with the 1961 water year, by State. These reports are entitled, "Water Resources Data for 

(state), Part 1. Surface Water Records." Distribution of these reports is limited and primarily for local 

needs. Any revision or corrections found necessary to the records published in these annual State reports 

have been made and published herein without reference.

Records for the area covered by this report have been compiled through September 1Q50 and for the 

period October 1950 to September I960 and published in Water-Supply Papers 1315-A and 1735, respectively. 

These reports contain a summary of monthly and annual discharges for all previously published records 

as well as some records not contained in the annual series of water-supply papers. All records were reexamined and revised where warranted. Estimates of discharge were made to fill short gaps whenever 

practical.

The reports listed in the foregoing tables contain the customary records of discharge collected during 

the systematic operation of gaging stations. Detailed information on the stage and discharge of many streams 

during major floods has been included in special reports on these floods published by the Geological Survey. 

The more recent of these special reports also contain other pertinent hydrologic information and analyses 

and compilations of data relating to earlier notable floods. The following list gives the numbers and titles 

of these reports:

RECORDS OF DISCHARGE COLLECTED BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Records of discharge have been collected by other agencies at numerous sites throughout the United 

States that are not published by the Geological Survey. The Office of Water Data Coordination, Water 

Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. 20242, maintains an index of such sites. 

Information on records available in specific sites can be obtained upon request.

Remarks. Records good. Flow regulated by Shasta Lake beginning Dec. 30, 1943 (see station 11-3700). 

Diurnal fluctuations from Shasta powerplant reregulated by Keswick Reservoir (capacity, 4,170 

acre-ft between normal operation elevations 579.0 and 586.0 ft) and powerplant. No diversion for 

irrigation between Shasta Dam and station at Keswick. Since December 1963, water is released from 

Whiskeytown Lake (see station 11-3717) at lat 40°37'03", long 122°31 1 31", through a tunnel to 

Spring Creek powerplant (see station 11-3716) and then into Keswick Reservoir. See schematic diagram for Pit and McCloud River basins. Records of chemical analyses for the water years 1961-65 

are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

to 1936) and Butt Creek below Almanor-Butt Creek tunnel (unpublished prior to 1936 and 1960-64).

Gage. Water-stage recorder and broad-crested weir. Altitude of gage is 4,380 ft (from topographic 

map). Prior to Oct. 1, 1936, staff gages or water-stage recorders at several sites within half a 

mile of present site at various daturas.

Average discharge. 60 years, 892 cfs (645,800 acre-ft per year), including diversion from Lake 

Almanor through Butt Creek tunnel.

from rating curve extended above 6,800 cfs; minimum, 0.3 cfs Aug. 31, Sept. 1, 2, 1960, Sept. 8,

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Dewey, 

Miners . and Hendricks Canals divert from headwaters of West Branch Feather River into Butte Creek 

basin (see Remarks for station 11-3900) for power development at DeSabla and Centerville plants 

of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Upper Miocene Canal diverts about 50 cfs to Lime Saddle powerplant. 

Flow regulated by Round Valley Reservoir (usable capacity, 1,284 acre-ft) and Philbrook Reservoir 

(capacity, 5,010 acre-ft). Records of water temperatures for the water years 1963-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

Cooperation.--Water-stage-recorder graphs and 43 discharge measurements furnished by California 

Department of Water Resources in connection with a Federal Power Commission project.

(Formerly published as Middle Yuba River above Oregon Creek)

Location. Lat 39°23'35", long 1S1°04'50", in SE^ sec.28, T.18 N., R.8 E., on left bank 1,000 ft 

upstream from Oregon Creek and 2 miles northeast of North San Juan.

Drainage area.--162 sq mi.

Records available.--October 1940 to September 1965. Monthly and yearly discharges for water year 

1941, published in WSP 1315-A. Prior to October 1949, published as Middle Fork Yuba River above 

Oregon Creek. If record for Oregon Creek near North San Juan is subtracted from record published 

as Middle Fork Yuba River near North San Juan, a record equivalent to that at this site can be 

obtained for the period 1910-41.

Gage.--Water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage Is 1,440 ft (from topographic map). 

Average discharge.--25 years (1940-65), 359 cfs (259,900 acre-ft per year). 

Extremes. Maxlmums and minimums (discharge in cubic feet per second, gage height in feet). 

Annual maximum discharge (*) and peak discharges above base (2,400 cfs), water years 1961-65

Minimum dally.

1910-65: Maximum discharge, 31,600 cfs Jan. 31, 1963 (gage height, 18.55 ft), from rating 

curve extended above 15,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement at gage height 15.25 ft; minimum, 10 cfs Jan. 3, 1950.

Remarks.--Records good. Natural flow of stream is affected by Jackson Meadows Reservoir since Novemher 1964 (see station 11-4078), Milton-Bowman tunnel (see station 11-4080) which diverts above 

station to Bowman Lake (see station 11-4155), and other small diversions above station. Records 

of water temperatures for the water year 1965 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

Revisions.--WSP 1395: Drainage area.

1940-65; Maximum discharge, 91,600 cfs Dec. 22, 1964 (gage height, 40.45 ft in gage well, 

43.9 ft outside, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 32,000 cfs on basis of computations of flow over dams at 29.5 and 42.0 ft; no flow at times in 1947, 1956-57.

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Plow 

usually completely regulated below 650 cfs by Bullards Bar powerhouse, otherwise slightly regulated by Bullards Bar Reservoir (usable capacity, 13,050 acre-ft). Water is diverted out of basin 

through Slate Creek tunnel (see Remarks for station 11-4133).

Lake receives water from Middle Yuba River through Milton-Bowman tunnel (see station 11-4080) and 

releases It through Bowman-Spaulding Canal (see station 11-4160), which conveys it to reservoirs 

of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Water is eventually used for Irrigation by Nevada Irrigation District.

Cooperation.--Prior to Oct. 8, 1964, record of gage heights furnished by Nevada Irrigation District.

Records available.--October 1941 to September 1965. Prior to October 1953, published as "at Narrows 

Dam."If record for Deer Creek near Smartville since 1941 is added to record at this site, a 

record equivalent to that published 1903-41 as Yuba River at Smartville can be obtained.

Gage. Water-stage recorder, flowmeter in penstock, and watt meters in powerhouse Just below dam. 

Datum of gage is at mean sea level (levels by Corps of Engineers). Prior to Sept. 19, 1958, at 

datum 526.99 ft higher.

1941-65: Maximum discharge, 171,000 cfs (no flow through powerhouse) Dec. 22, 1964 (gage 

height, 546.14 ft), from rating curve extended above 25,000 cfs on basis of computations of peak 

flow over spillway of dam of 148,000 and 173,000 cfs; no flow at times in 1942, 1949, 1956, 

1958-61.

Remarks.--Records good. Diversions for power and irrigation above station. Up to 250 cfs can bypass 

sTEaTfion and up to 670 cfs can be diverted into Bear River basin. Flow regulated by Lake Spaulding 

beginning in 1912 (see station 11-4141.4), Englebright Reservoir beginning in 1941 (capacity, 

70,000 acre-ft), Bowman Lake (see station 11-4155), Fordyce Lake beginning in 1926 (capacity, 

46,700 acre-ft), and many smaller reservoirs. Records given herein show total flow over Englebright Dam spillway and through and past powerplant. Records of chemical analyses for the water 

years 1961-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

Cooperation. Record of flow through powerplant furnished by Pacific Gas & Electric Co.

River.

1934-65: Maximum combined discharges of Sacramento River at Verona and Fremont weir, about 

322,000 cfs Dec. 25, 1964.

Remarks.--Records excellent. Plow regulated by Shasta Lake beginning Dec. 30, 1943, and several 

other reservoirs and powerplants above station, and bypassing for flood control. Many diversions 

above station for irrigation. When discharge exceeds about 55,000 cfs, flow begins over Premont 

weir (just upstream) into Yolo bypass (see station 11-4530). Elevation of crest of Premont weir 

is 33.5 ft (datum of Corps of Engineers).

Cooperation. Three discharge measurements furnished by California Department of Water Resources.

(Formerly published as Sacramento'weir near Sacramento)

Location. Lat 28°36'25", long 121°23'15", 2 gages on right bank, one 100 ft upstream from weir and 

one 100 ft downstream from weir, 3.2 miles upstream from American River, 4 miles northwest of 

Sacramento, and at mile 4.2 upstream from Sacramento.

Records available. October 1939 to September 1965. Monthly discharge only for water years 1940-51, 

published In WSP 1735. Gage-height records collected at same site February 1926 to September 1934 

and major flood flows only October 1934 to September 1939 are contained in reports of California 

Department of Water Resources.

Gage.--Water-stage recorders and concrete weir crest. Gage is set to datum of Corps of Engineers. 

October 1939 to September 1942 and October 1959 to September 1963 water-stage recorder or staff 

gage at downstream end of weir. October 1942 to September 1959 water-stage recorder on left bank 

of Sacramento River opposite center of weir at same datum. Since February 1963, water-stage 

recorders on right bank 100 ft upstream and 100 ft downstream from weir.

Average discharge.--26 years, 241 cfs (174,500 acre-ft per year).

Extremes.--Maximum and minimum discharges for the water years 1961-65 are contained in the following

1910-14, 1956-65: Maximum discharge, 11,500 cfs Feb. 1, 1963 (gage height, 14.28 ft), from 

rating curve extended above 1,200 cfs on basis of slope-conveyance computation of peak flow; no 

flow at times in some years.

Flood in December 1955 reached a stage of 13.0 ft, from floodmarks, present site and datum 

(discharge, 9,270 cfs).

Remarks. Records good. Low summer flow, beginning in 1950, augmented by release from streamflow 

maintenance dams on Lakes Clyde, Lois, Middle Velraa, and Schmidell (total controlled capacity, 

555 acre-ft). Plow below 1,200 cfs controlled by Rubicon diversion dam. Diversion to RubiconRockbound tunnel began Dec. 26, 1963. See schematic diagram for Middle Fork American and Rubicon 

River basins.

11-4298. Robbs Peak tunnel near Riverton, Calif.

Location. Lat 38°54 I 10", long 120°22'20", in NE£ sec.11, T.12 N. , R.14 E., on right bank 115 ft 

downstream from tunnel outlet and 10 miles northeast of Riverton.

Records available.--October 1962 to September 1965.

Gage. Water-stage recorder and concrete control. Datum of gage is 5,116.0 ft above mean sea level 

(levels by Sacramento Municipal Utility District).

Extremes. 1962-65: Maximum daily discharge, 1,440 cfs Dec. 22-24, 1964; no flow for several days

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are fair. Tunnel 

diverts at South Fork Rubicon River diversion dam in HE£ sec.27, T.13 N., R.14 E., and discharges 

into Union Valley Reservoir (see station 11-4410.01). Water is imported from Rubicon River basin 

via Rubicon-Rockbound tunnel and Buck-Loon tunnel to Loon Lake, thence via Gerle Creek and Robbs 

Peak tunnel to South Fork American River basin for power development. See schematic diagrams for 

Middle Fork American and Rubicon River basins and for South Fork American River basin.

a Minimum daily.

1943-64: Maximum discharge unknown, occurred Dec. 23, 1964 (gage height, 71 ft, from floodmarks), caused by overtopping of the partly constructed Hell Hole Dam; minimum, 3.4 cfs Nov. 10-13,

Remarks. Records good except those for periods of no gage-height record, which are poor. Plow regulated by Loon Lake (see station 11-4293.5) and diversion dams on Rubicon and Little Rubicon Rivers. 

Robbs Peak tunnel (see station 11-4298) diverts water to South Pork American River basin. Low 

summer flows augmented by release from streamflow maintenance dams built In 1950-56 on eight small 

headwater lakes (total controlled capacity, 1,295 acre-ft). Station destroyed by flood of 

Dec. 22, 1964, and will not be replaced. See schematic diagram for Middle Pork American and Rubicon River basins.

Revisions (water years). WSP 1285: 1943(M), 1945(M), 1951.

1911-65: Maximum discharge, 253,000 cfs Dec. 23, 1964 (gage height, 60.4 ft, from floodmarks), from rating curve extended above 69,000 cfs on basis of slope-area measurement of peak 

flow (caused by overtopping of the partly constructed Hell Hole Dam I; minimum, 20 cfs Sept. 6, 

1931, Sept. 19, 1934.

Remarks. Records good. Natural flow of stream affected by French Meadows Reservoir (see station 

11-4274), Loon Lake (see station 11-4293.5), Stumpy Meadows Reservoir (usable capacity, 20,000 

acre-ft), and diversion dams on Rubicon and Little Rubicon Rivers. Robbs Peak tunnel (see 

station 11-4298) diverts water out of basin. See schematic diagram for Middle Fork American 

and Rubicon River basins. Records of chemical analyses and suspended-sediment loads for the 

water years 1961-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

Remarks.--Records good. Flow regulated principally by six reservoirs (total usable capacity,

347,000 acre-ft). Echo Lake conduit (see station 11-4345) imports up to 1,900 acre-ft each year 

from Truckee River basin. Variable amount of El Dorado Canal water (up to 40 cfs, May to October, 

and about 7 cfs remainder of year) diverted for irrigation and domestic use between Pollock Pines 

and Placerville. Water from Jenklnson Lake in North Fork Consumnes basin diverted to Camino and 

substituted for flow from El Dorado Canal in some years. Since October 1962, water is imported 

from Upper Rubicon River basin by way of Robbs Peak Tunnel (see station 11-4298). American River 

flume near Camino was destroyed Dec. 22, 1964, by flood and will not be replaced. See schematic 

diagram for South Fork American River basin.

Cooperation.--Water-stage-recorder graphs and 34 discharge measurements for the flume and water-stagerecorder graphs or digital recorder tapes and 38 discharge measurements for the river gage furnished by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in connection with a Federal Power Commission Project.

1930, staff gages or water-stage recorders at several sites 2-j miles downstream, all at datum 

11.74 ft lower. Nov. 7, 1930, to Dec. 31, 1957, at site 2.2 miles downstream at datum 12.74 ft 

lower.

Average discharge. 61 years, 3,737 cfs (2,705,000 acre-ft per year), adjusted for change in 

storage, diversions, and evaporation from Folsom Lake since 1955.

Extremes.--Maximum and minimum discharges for the water years 1961-65 are contained in the following

86 cfs Apr. 7, 1955.

Remarks. Records good. Beginning Feb. 25, 1955, flow regulated by Folsom Lake (see station

TT=4~462). Some minor regulation of high flows by temporary pondage during period of construction January 1953 to February 1955. Diurnal fluctuations from Folsom powerplant reregulated by 

Nimbus Reservoir (capacity, 2,800 acre-ft between normal operating elevations 118.5 and 125.00 

ft) and powerplant. Many diversions above station for irrigation, municipal, and domestic 

water supply. Diversions of San Juan Suburban Water District, Natomas Water Co., and State of 

California are made at Folsom Dam. Some inflow from Bear and Yuba River basins. Records of 

chemical analyses and water temperatures for the water years 1961-65 are published in reports 

of the Geological Survey.

Revisions (water years). WSP 1181: 1928(M). WSP 1515: 1907 (M), 1910, 1931(M), 1943 (M).

Remarks.--This natural lake is regulated by a concrete overflow at outlet, completed in 1915. 

Capacity between gage heights U.Qn and 7.56 ft (limits stipulated by court decree of 1920), 

about 319,000 acre-ft. Water is released down natural channel of Cache Creek from which it is 

diverted for irrigation (see Cache Creek near Lower Lake, station 11-4510). Records of chemical 

analyses for the water years 1961-65 are published in reports of the Geological Survey.

570 SACRAMENTO RIVER BASIN

11-4520. Cache Creek near Capay, Calif.

Location. Lat 38°43'40", long 122°06'15", in Canada de Capay Grant, on right bank 1.8 miles upstream 

from Clear Lake Water Co.'s diversion dam, 3.2 miles northwest of Capay, and 5.4 miles northwest 

of Esparto.

Drainage area. 1,044 sq mi (revised).

Records available. Hay 1942 to September 1965.

Gage. Digital water-stage recorder. Altitude of gage is 225 ft (from river-profile map). Prior to 

Dec. 2, 1963, graphic water-stage recorder at same site and datum.

Average discharge. 23 years, 595 cfs (430,800 acre-ft per year); median of yearly mean discharges, 

380 crs (2757100 acre-ft per year).

Extremes. Maximum and minimum discharges for the water years 1961-65 are contained in the following

1942-65: Maximum discharge, 51,600 cfs Feb. 24, 1958 (gage height, 20.90 ft), from rating 

curve extended above 20,000 cfs; minimum, 2.2 cfs Sept. 11, 12, 16, 1947.

Remarks. Records good except those for period of no gage-height record, which are poor. Beginning 

In~T915, flow partly regulated by Clear Lake (see station 11-4500). About 3,700 acre-ft diverted 

annually between stations above Rumsey and near Capay for irrigation of approximately 900 acres, 

from data furnished by U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Records of chemical analyses for the 

water years 1961-65 and of suspended-sediment loads for the water years 1961-62 are published in 

reports of the Geological Survey.

Revisions (water years). WSP 1395: 1943.

DISCHARGE AT PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS

As the number of streams on which streamflow information is likely to be desired far exceeds the 

number of stream-gaging stations feasible to operate at one time, the Geological Survey collects 

limited streamflow data at sites other than stream-gaging stations. When limited streamflow data 

are collected on a systematic basis over a period of years for use in hydrologic analyses, the site 

at which the data are collected is called a partial-record station. Data collected at these partialrecord stations are usable in low-flow or flood-flow analyses, depending on the type of data collected.

Records collected at partial-record stations are ordinarily presented in two tables. The first 

is a table of discharge measurements at low-flow partial-record stations, and the second is a table 

of annual maximum stage and discharge at crest-stage stations; however, no records at low-flow 

partial-record stations are available for the water years 1961-65.

CREST-STAGE PARTIAL-RECORD STATIONS

The following table contains annual maximum discharges for crest-stage stations. A crest-stage 

gage is a device which will register the peak stage occurring between inspections of the gage. A 

stage-discharge relation for each gage is developed from discharge measurements made by indirect 

measurements of peak flow or by current meter. The date of the maximum discharge is not always 

certain but is usually determined by comparison with nearby continuous-record stations, weather records, or local.inquiry. Only the maximum discharge for each water year is given. Information on 

some lower floods may have been obtained but is not published herein. The years given in the period 

of record represent water years for which the annual maximum has been determined.
