SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1913 to current year.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 1,145.56 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Prior to Oct. 17, 1928, non-recording gage, and Oct. 17, 1928, to Oct. 25, 1967, water-stage recorder at site 200 ft upstream at same datum. Prior to September 1, 2023, the datum of gage was reported as 1,146.08 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Satellite telemetry at station.

COOPERATION - Station established and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. Funding for the operation of this station is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Geological Survey.

REMARKS - Flow regulated since December 1960 by Glendale Dam (station 01541340) about 25 mi upstream. Records are good except for estimated discharge, which is poor.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - April 2002 to current year.

COOPERATION - Water-quality samples were collected as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Water-Quality Network (WQN) with cooperation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

REMARKS - As of October 2013, results from discrete water quality samples collected at this site are available through the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System web interface on the "Water Quality for the Nation" webpage. Analyses for pH, water temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen were performed on site. All other sample analyses were performed at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection laboratory in Harrisburg, PA. Occasionally, values for filtered parameters may exceed values for the corresponding unfiltered parameter. These results are within the limits of analytical precision and methods.
