Methods:	Stage height measurements were provided in 12-hour increments for most of the summer by the USGS Stevens chart recorder at the USGS gauging station, 10 meters downstream of the the Dalton Highway crossing. Discharge measurements were taken by Deborah Repert and Nancy Parmentier using a Marsh-McBirney flow meter and a Teledyne-Gurley flow meter at a location 20 meters below the chart recorder. Flow was measured at 20 points for each transect. A total of 8 discharge measurements were used to calibrate the rating curves for this year. Notes: For the rating curve, two separate curves were used according to the stage height. At stage heights less than 18.48 ft on the USGS gauging station, the curve has 5 points and is: Discharge (m^3/s) = 2.2853e-88(x^69.147), where x = stage height in meters. At stage heights greater than 18.48 ft on the gauging station, the curve has four points and is: Discharge (m^3/s) = 7.9921e-35(x^26.891), where x = stage height in meters. Sampling Description. None

Discharge          A). For stage heights of 18.48 feet or less:
Discharge (m^3/s) = a(x^b)
a=2.2853e-88
b=69.147
x=stage (m)
B). For stage heights greater than 18.48 feet:
Discharge (m^3/s) =a(x^b)
a=7.9921e-35
b=26.891
x=stage (m)
