| Reporter | Paul Martzen |
| Gauge Reading | 245 cfs at MERCED RIVER BELOW MERCED FALLS |
Two gates were completely open, allowing the river to flow through unobstructed. Merced Falls dam is a run of the river PG&E hydro-electric project. The lake normally backed up by this dam is very small, but extends a mile to the base of McSwain dam.
