Gauge
Gauge Description:
The gauge is located downstream of a hydroplant in the latter portion of this reach. The gauge should largely reflect the flow at LaSalle Falls and Pine Rapids since the capacity of the flowage is limited (per USGS info).
OR
You can now go to WE Energies Hydro and look at "Pine" and "Pine Bypass Channel" to get hourly updates on flow information. (Sorry, we are unable at this time to directly query and post that information on our site.)
Penstock capacity for the hydroproject is 640 cfs, so subtracting this from the gauge reading should give the flow in the (usually dewatered) Pine Narrows. You will probably wish a minimum 150 cfs (790 cfs on the gauge) to consider running the 'narrows'.
Offseason ('Ice') gauge correlations (subject to revision):
2.00 = 181cfs
2.25 = 248cfs (suggested minimum)
2.50 = 326cfs
2.75 = 410cfs
3.02 = 500cfs
3.57 = 700cfs
4.27 =1000cfs
5.21 =1500cfs
6.01 =2000cfs
6.72 =2500cfs
7.00 =2700cfs (official 'flood stage')
