Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

USGS Water-Year Summary 2024

13310800 EAST FORK OF SOUTH FORK SALMON RIVER ABOVE MEADOW CREEK NEAR STIBNITE, ID

LOCATION - Lat 44°54'08.1", long 115°19'32.4" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in NE 1/4 NW 1/4 sec.14, T.18 N., R.9 E., Valley County, ID, Hydrologic Unit 17060208, Stibnite quad., Boise National Forest, on right bank, 9 miles southeast of Yellow Pine.

DRAINAGE AREA - 9.1 mi².

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - September 2011 to current year.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Elevation of gage datum is arbitrary.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 163 ft³/s, June 5, 2017, gage height 16.60 ft; minimum daily, 2.2 ft³/s, Dec. 8, 2013.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - Continuous water temperature, specific conductance, and pH were collected seasonally on site between Sept. 2011 and Sept. 2014. Continuous water temperature and specific conductance data collection resumed April 2016 and is current.

REMARKS - Numerical uncertainty is not currently computed for time-series water-quality records but qualitative ratings are provided based on professional judgment.

Water Year 2014: Quality of water temperature, specific conductance, and pH records for the year are good except for:
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE:
May 15-23: Poor due to sediment fouling.
June 10-24: Fair due to sediment fouling.

During water year 2014, water-quality sensors were installed on site on Apr. 24 and removed indefinitely on Sept. 30. Daily values are missing for each parameter on Apr. 24 and Sept. 30. 98.7% of the daily values will be reported. There are no daily values that are or will be estimated.

Water Year 2016: Water-quality sonde was installed on site on Apr. 7 and removed Oct. 4 for winter. Quality of water temperature and specific conductance for the year is good.
98.9% of daily values for water temperature and specific conductance will be reported. There are not daily values that are or will be estimated.

Water Year 2017: Water-quality sonde was installed on site on Mar. 14 and removed Nov. 14, 2017 for winter.
The practice of assigning qualitative accuracy ratings to continuous water-quality data was discontinued in WY2017.
