Station and Location Information:
► Latitude: 46.7406° North (WGS1984)
► Longitude: -121.8983° West (WGS1984)
► UTM Northing: 0 meters (NAD 1983 Zone 10N)

► Elevation: 2156.496 feet (657.3 meters)
► Recording Interval: 15 minutes

Station Notes:
► All in-water equipment at this site is down, including Water Pressure, Water Temperature, Water Conductivity, Turbidity, and Stage. This is due to severe damage that occurred during a winter storm in 2021. Additionally, the transmitter for the site is at risk of bank erosion and will be moved in the future. The in-water equipment will likely be down until AT LEAST Mid Summer 2023. This message will be removed when the site is back running normally.
► The rain gage is unheated and will not accurately record in periods of ice or snow fall.
► This site records river stage only (not discharge).
► This station may experience problems during and after storm events due to extreme sediment load. Please use the gage height and discharge data with caution during these periods.
