Regulation by fish hatchery and by hydroelectric plant 0.5 mi upstream causes diurnal fluctuation, but since storage capacity is small, daily flows are not appreciably affected. Occasional minor upstream diversions by Lead-Deadwood Sanitary District out of drainage basin into Whitewood Creek Basin. Upstream diversions by Homestake Mining Company discontinued March 2003. Satellite data-collection platform at station.
