ANNUAL PEAK DISCHARGES FROM SMALL DRAINAGE AREAS IN MONTANA THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1980

by

R. J. Omang, Charles Parrett, and J. A. Hull

INTRODUCTION

A program to investigate the magnitude and frequency of floods from

small drainage areas in Montana was begun July 1, 1955. Originally 45Icrest-stage gage stations were established. The program was expanded to

152 stations in 1959, and to 216 stations in 1963. An average 214 stations

were operated from 1963 to 1967, 199 from 1968 through mid 1970, and 193

from mid 1970 through 1973.

In 1973 the program was evaluated. The evaluation indicated that

62 existing stations should be continued for long-term record, all other

stations should be discontinued upon collection of 15 years of record,

and about 100 new stations should be established to increase the density

of the network of stations. During water years 1974-75, 111 new stations

were established, making a total of 328 sites at which usable data have

been collected since 1955. During the 1980 water year (October 1979 through

September 1980) 172 gages were operated 142 east of the Continental Divide

and 30 west of the divide. The location of each current station is shown

| on figure 1.

2

The program of peak stage and discharge measurement is maintained by

the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Planning and Research

Bureau of the Montana Department of Highways, the Federal Highway Admin

istration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Forest Service

of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

This, the twenty-sixth annual report, is primarily a tabulation, by

water year, of the annual peak stage and discharge at each active crest-

stage gage station. It also summarizes the activities and progress made

during the 1980 water year.

Data on outstanding floods and streamflow, collected under other pro

grams at sites where crest-stage gages are not operated, are furnished dur

ing the year to cooperating agencies upon request.

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

The purpose of the program is to collect sufficient peak-flow data to

permit development of methods for estimating the magnitude and frequency of

floods at any point in Montana. The ultimate objective is to determine

methods for estimating the 1-percent chance flood (one having a 100-year re

currence interval) with the reliability needed for road design. Reliability

depends in part on the definition of regional boundaries, which need to be

defined from a relatively dense network of crest-stage stations.

A part of the program has been fulfilled by a report* based on data

collected from 1955 through 1966. That report presents a method for deter

mining the magnitude of floods having 10-year and 25-year recurrence in

tervals for drainage areas of less than 100 mi^.

* Boner, F. C., and Omang, R. J., 1967, Magnitude and frequency of floods _ from drainage areas less than 100 square miles in Montana: U.S. Geological Survey open-file report, 23 p.

I3

A second report^ released in January 1976 gives methods for estimating

magnitude and frequency of floods up to 100-year recurrence interval. This

report does not meet the ultimate objective because the standard errors of

estimate are large and the reliability poor. The increased density of the

network of stations should help define areal boundaries better and, thus,

improve reliability.

PROGRAM OPERATION

At each gaging station one or more standard Geological Survey crest-

stage gages record the maximum stage reached by the water surface (see

sketch inside front cover). Many stations are located at highway culverts,

which are used as control structures for rating the peak discharge. If the

peak discharge is not measured, it can be computed from the shape of the

I channel near the culvert, the culvert geometry, and the water-surface profile

upstream and downstream from the culvert at the time of the peak flow. The

water-surface profile, obtained from marks recorded on the crest-stage gages,

is usually supplemented by nearby high-water marks along the stream channel.

Flow records for continuous-record gaging stations, which are a part

of other cooperative programs, supplement the crest-stage network. The con

tinuous-record stations help establish the date of recorded peak stages and

help detect peaks at times when the crest-stage gages may not have been func

tioning properly. Climatological data published by the National Weather

Service are also used to help determine the dates of peak discharge.

o^ Johnson, M. V., and Omang, R. J., 1976, A method for estimating magnitude

and frequency of floods in Montana: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 75-650, 35 p.

The crest-stage gage stations provide information from drainage areas

that range in size from less than 1 mi 2 to several hundred square miles.

The areas represent various hydrologic conditions. During the 1980 water

year the network included 26 stations having drainage areas less than 1 mi ,

98 stations having areas from 1 to 10 mi^, 39 stations having areas from

10 to 50 mi^, and 9 stations having areas of more than 50

PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, 1980 WATER YEAR

Operation of the crest-stage gages to record peak stages continued to

be the primary phase of work. Periodic visits were made to service the gages

and record the peak stages that occurred between visits. Changes in channel,

culvert, and control conditions were also noted.

Sixty-one sites were operated as long-term stations, and 111 sites

were operated as short-term stations. Short-term stations will be discontinued

only when 15 years of record have been accumulated or when sites are found to

be unsuitable. One long-term station was discontinued at the end of 1979.

In general peak flows during the 1980 water year were low. Peak flow

of record was equaled or exceeded at three sites. Transit-stadia surveys for

computation of peak flow were made at three sites. At five other sites flow-

through-culvert computations were made to define the stage-discharge relation.

West of the divide the stage-discharge relation at most sites was well

defined by current-meter measurements. Other fieldwork included closed

traverse surveys to determine any changes in the altitude of the gage.

I I

PROGRAM PLANS, 1981 WATER YEAR

During the 1981 water year 53 long-term stations will be operated east

of the Continental Divide and 8 west of the divide. In addition, 89 short-

term stations will be operated east of the divide and 22 short-term stations

| west of the divide. A report summarizing peak-flow data through September 30,

1981, will be published by April 1, 1982.

An analysis of peak-flow data collected prior to and including the 1978

water year will be completed about April 1, 1981. Some of the basin and climat

ic characteristics have been re-evaluated on the basis of new maps and longer

climatic records. The analysis will give methods for estimating magnitude

and frequency of floods for recurrence intervals of as much as 100 years.

PRESENTATION OF DATA

All active stations are listed in downstream order. Those in the Missouri

River basin (Part 6) are listed first, followed by those in the Columbia River

basin (Part 12). The part number is the identification numeral of the river

basin as used in U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers. Each station

description includes the permanent station number, station location, hydrologic

unit code (see fig. 2), drainage area, period of record, type of gage, and

altitude of gage. Following the description, the annual maximum gage height

(or stage) and discharge are listed for each water year of record. The date

given for each annual peak is as near the actual day on which the peak flow

occurred as can be determined from available data.

6

The annual peak discharges in the tables are subject to revision. A

peak discharge listing of "unknown" means a reliable figure is not available.

Peak discharges listed as "not determined" will be determined when the stage-

discharge relation is defined. This may require 2 or more years of data

collection.

listed below.
