SHUSWAP RIVER NEAR KINGFISHER AT OUTLET OF MABLE LAKE

   Project 9620F049                         October 1996

   Cross Sections 86, 86.1, 87, 87.1 and 87.2

   Please note, this historical information reflects the 
   channel conditions and confiqurations at the date of survey.

   SURVEY LOGISTICS:
   5 cross sections were established and run on the Shuswap River 
   between the outlet of Mabel Lake downstream to approximately 
   Kingfisher Community Hall. Cross sections 86 and 87 are reruns 
   of cross sections established in 1975 and cross section 86 is 
   in the same location but cross section 87 is only approximate 
   as no 1975 references points were found.  
   Cross sections were tied together by traverse and referenced 
   with a bridge bolt on both banks except XS86 which has the 
   orginal 1975 rebars on both banks.

   * This survey is part of a larger floodplain survey in September 
     and October 1996 under Project 9620F049 of Shuswap River,
     Bessette and Duteau Creeks covering an area from the south end 
     of Mabel Lake upstream to the Lumby area.

  SURVEY DATA:
  a) Field surveys carried out by Water Surveys Unit,
     Operations Sub-Section, Aquatic Inventory Section.      
  b) Horizontal control established by EDM traverse using a
     total station theodolite. 
  c) Vertical control established by reciprocal height traversing
     using a total station theodolite & confirmed by differential
     levelling throughout the project area.
  d) Cross section data obtained using a total station theodolite.

  DATUM:
  a) Horizontal control for cross sections based on reference points
     at cross section 86 established in June 1975 under Project 75F4, 
     rebar XS86 right bank assigned scaled U.T.M. Coordinates (NAD27)
     and scaled bearing between rebars on XS86 right bank to left bank.
  b) Vertical control for cross sections based on Water Resources
     Service bench mark 690 established in 1975 under Project 74F-4.
  c) Mapping Coordinates are Universal Transverse Mercator,Zone 11, 
     Central Meridian 117 degrees, NAD27.
  d) Elevations are in metres and referred to Canadian Geodetic Datum, 
     CVD28.
