SUMMARY: This is an on -going partnership between the City of Kent and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for stream data collection. For federal fiscal year 2023, the City of Kent will contribute $121,078 to the total annual program costs of $156,660 with the USGS and the City of Tukwila will provide the remainder. These gauges 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 City design of stormwater flood projection models. The internet link allows staff and the public to monitor stream flow levels from remote locations in real-time. The stream flow measured at the gage at Rock Creek and Kent-Kangley Road is included in the Clark Springs Habitat Conservation Plan as a criterium to determine the City's augmentation of flows in Rock Creek from October through December. This agreement will provide for operation, maintenance and data collection at seven gages. Two are located on Mill Creek, one on Springbrook Creek, one on Rock Creek, and three on the Green River. The gauge information is available to the public real-time at <http://waterdata.usqs.gov/wa/nwis/current?type=flow> BUDGET IMPACT: Costs for this contract will be charged partially to the Water Utility (Rock Creek gauge) and partially to the Stormwater Utility (Green River, Mill Creek and Springbrook gages).
