Criteria For New Gages
Gages in the Floodzilla Network should provide a public benefit for farms, farmers, land owners or community members of King County. In order to be eligible for installation, gages should be located within or near the geographic extent starting at the confluence of the Three Forks near Snoqualmie and ending at the confluence of the Snoqualmie River and the Skykomish River in Monroe, and including relevant tributaries. Requested gages will ideally meet at least one of the following requirements:
- Located on/serves as flood indicator for any public road
- Located on/near an area of the Snoqualmie River Watershed that is experiencing change
- Provides information to protect infrastructure of at least one farm/farmer or at least 3 residential properties
- Monitors projects taking place within the geographic extent that are relevant to water or flood levels
- USGS gage is insufficient in predicting timing of local flooding
Gages that will receive priority placement are the following:
- Close gaps in river miles between existing gages
- Are within range of an existing receiver
- The requesting party is willing to act as a gage steward for requested gage (See Gage Steward Job Description)
To serve our community to the best of our ability, we will engage in adaptive management if the need becomes apparent.
