Quality of the High-Water Mark (HWM) (after Lumia, R., Burke, P.M., and Johnston, W. H., 1986, Flooding of December 29, 1984 through January 2, 1985, in northern New York State, with flood profiles of the Black and Salmon Rivers, U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report WRIR 86-4191, 53p.)

Good (G)+/- 0.05
Fair (F)+/- 0.10
Poor (P)>+/- 0.10
No Rating Reported (--)

HWM Code: The first two letters of the HWM code refer to the reach where the mark was flagged. The number following the two-letter code is the sequential number that the mark was flagged. Additional numbers such as SA-94-2 refers to a second mark that is unflagged and surveyed near the flagged mark (SA-94 in this example).
