REMARKS.--Since Aug. 1, 1960, storm runoff from 0.88 mi2 at headwaters has been diverted to Saline Branch through the Northwest Diversion Conduit. Prior to the 1970's, effluent from sewage-treatment plant about 2 mi upstream from gage. Since July 1999, a retention basin 1.9 mi upstream temporarily detains water during periods of heavy runoff. Water enters the retention basin by gravity flow during periods of heavy runoff, and is pumped out during the recession, with a maximum rate of 20 ft3/s not to exceed a maximum in-stream rate of 60 ft3/s. Since Oct. 1999, some temporary storage occurs in underground conduits 1.5 mi upstream during runoff events. Channel construction near the Boneyard Creek at Urbana gage (03337000) began Aug. 30, 2001. Streamflow diversion pumping for channel construction began Sept. 1, 2001 causing frequent fluctuations in stage. Channel construction and pumpage for channel construction ended May 6, 2003.
