LOCATION.--Lat 38°29'21", long 104°59'49", in NE14NE14 sec.16, T.18 S., R.68 W., Fremont County, Hydrologic Unit 11020002, on left bank 300 ft downstream from Beaver Park Irrigation Company diversion dam, 1.8 mi upstream from State Highway 115, and 4.7 mi north of Penrose.

DRAINAGE AREA.--138 mi2.

PERIOD OF RECORD.--March 1991 to current year (seasonal records only). For a complete listing of historical data available for this site, see http://waterdata.usgs.gov/co/nwis/inventory/?site_no=07099060

GAGE.--Water-stage recorder with satellite telemetry and crest-stage gage. Elevation of gage is 5,660 ft above NGVD of 1929, from topographic map.

REMARKS.--Records good. Natural flow of stream affected by storage reservoirs, diversions for municipal use by Colorado Springs, and diversions for irrigation. Flows are regulated to some extent by Beaver Park Irrigation Company diversion dam 300 ft upstream. Several measurements of specific conductance and water temperature, when obtained, are published in the "Supplemental Water-Quality Data For Gaging Stations" section of this report.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD (seasonal only).--Maximum discharge, 1,260 ft3/s, Sept. 6, 2003, gage height, 7.51 ft, from rating curve extended above 422 ft3/s on basis of flow over dam computation of peak flow; no flow on many days.

EXTREMES FOR CURRENT YEAR (seasonal only).--Maximum discharge, 1,260 ft3/s, Sept. 6, gage height, 7.51 ft, from rating curve extended above
