USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

02102000 DEEP RIVER AT MONCURE, NC

LOCATION - Lat 35°37'37", long 79°06'58" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Lee County, NC, Hydrologic Unit 03030003, on right bank, 1.0 mi upstream from Lockville Dam, 1.2 mi upstream from bridge on U.S. Highway 1, 1.5 mi northwest of Moncure, 2.2 mi downstream of Rocky River, and 4.5 mi upstream from confluence with Haw River.

DRAINAGE AREA - 1,434 mi².

REVISIONS HISTORY -
WDR NC-81-1: Drainage area.

Period of Oct 7, 2017 to Feb. 28, 2018 was unlocked due to the decision not to use MMT 0461(large bias in sections) and the shift associated with it..Discharge for the period Oct. 7, 2017, to Dec. 09, 2017, was revised on March. 27, 2018, based on changes to the stage-discharge rating.

Period from Dec. 29, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2019 was unlocked and revised due to discharge qualifier not being applied properly for data that had been estimated due to lack of gage height data because of a power outage.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - July 1930 to current year. Records for May 1898 to December 1899 published in 21st Annual Report, Part 4, and in Bulletins 34 and 39 of North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development have been found to be unreliable and should not be used.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 184.5 ft above NAVD88 NAD83(2011) Geoid 18. Satellite telemetry at streamgage.
Historical: Datum of gage is 185.06 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.

REMARKS - Diurnal fluctuation and some regulation at low flow caused by small power plants upstream from station. Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally good except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-nc_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge 80,300 ft³/s, September 18, 1945; Maximum gaga height 17.20 ft, September 18, 1945.
