GAGE.-- Water-stage recorder, phone telemeter, and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 606.36 ft above NGVD of 1929 (606.08 ft NAVD 1988). Prior to June 17, 1963, water-stage recorder at same site at datum 3.73 ft higher. However, datum incorrectly published as 609.64 ft above NGVD of 1929 from 1951 to 1963. June 17, 1963, to June 26, 1964, nonrecording gage at site 0.5 mi upstream at datum 4.82 ft higher. |

REMARKS FOR CURRENT YEAR.--Habitat measurements, including physical and geomorphic, were collected as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) in the upper Illinois River Basin. The measurements were collected according to Fitzpatrick and others (1998). Reach A begins 36 feet upstream of German Church Road and continues upstream for 591 feet. |

The following links list up to five tab-delimited text files containing habitat reach data collected at several sites. An explanation of column headers in these files can be accessed at this link.
Reach -- General description of the sampled reach.
Geomorphic Channel Unit (GCU) -- Fluvial geomorphic descriptors of channel shape and stream velocity (for example pool, riffle, or run).
Transect -- Channel and bank measurements made along transects (cross sections) within each reach.
Transect Points -- Channel and substrate measurements and observations at points along a transect (cross section).
