Prior to this, the gage was located under the bridge tenders office, on the east bound portion of route 37.

GAGE.--Tide elevation recorder with telemetry and tidal crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is at 0.00 ft NAVD of 1988. To determine approximate elevations to NGVD of 1929 datum, add 1.01 ft.
REMARKS.--Records poor. Streamflow at this site is significantly affected by astronomical tides. Daily mean discharges were computed from filtered unit value discharge data. The Godin low-pass filter is used to remove principal tidal frequencies from unit values. Positive discharge (ebb tide) is generally to the south direction, and negative discharge (flood tide) is generally to the north.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--DISCHARGE: Maximum positive discharge (unfiltered), 74,800 ft³/s, Oct 30, 2012; maximum negative discharge (unfiltered), -182,000 ft³/s, Oct 29, 2012. GAGE HEIGHT: Maximum gage height, 6.35 ft, Oct 30, 2012; minimum gage height, -1.97 ft, Feb 19, 2013.
