23	Major flooding expands further into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway. The bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. Water begins to top the bridge and flood portions of the highway. It will be closed by local officials. Most of the service road leading to the Milstead Hydroelectric Plant will be flooded and water will begin to flood the plant.
21	Major flooding begins and expands further into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway. The bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. Water begins to cover the highway just south of the bridge and it will be closed by local officials. Portions of the service road leading to the Milstead Hydroelectric Plant will be flooded and water will be reaching the foundation of the plant.
19	Moderate flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway. The bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. The bridge will likely be closed by local officials. The service road on the right bank leading to the Milstead Hydroelectric Plant will begin to flood near the masonary dam which is around 1050 feet downstream from the bridge.
17	Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding will continue to expand further into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway. The water level reaches the bottom of the bridge. This may cause local officials to close it due to possible erosion around the supports. The service road on the right bank leading to the Milstead Hydroelectric Plant will begin to flood near the masonary dam which is around 1050 feet downstream from the bridge.
15	Minor flooding will continue to expand further into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway.
13	Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding will occur in portions of the woodlands near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 20 or Loganville Highway.
11	Bankfull conditions are reached upstream and downstream from the stream gage at Georgia Highway 20 bridge or Loganville Highway.
