SUMMARY: This is an on-going program with the city of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for stream data collection. For Fiscal Year 2013, the City will contribute $60,080 to the annual program cost of $106,205 with the USGS providing the remainder. USGS's share of the cost is funded through federal funding at a set limit. For 2013 the federal limit is $46,125. These gages provide valuable information on stream and weather conditions, including water surface elevations, flow levels and amounts of precipitation. This information is used to calibrate stream flow models and increase the accuracy of stormwater flood projection models. The models are used in the design of stormwater projects. The gages, through their link to internet web sites, allow staff and the public to monitor stream flow levels from remote locations. The stream flow measured by the gage at Rock Creek and Kent Kangley Road is a requirement of the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan. It is used to determine the City's augmentation of flows in Rock Creek during the drier months. This contract will provide for operation, maintenance and data collection at five gages. Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek and two on Rock Creek. The gage information is available to the public real-time at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/current?tvlpe=flow EXHIBITS: USGS Joint Funding Agreement RECOMMENDED BY: Public Works Committee BUDGET IMPACTS: Costs for this contract will be charged partially to the Water Utility (Rock Creek gages) and partially to the Stormwater Utility (Mill and Springbrook gages).
