SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - November 1950 to current year.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 301.25 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Prior to Aug. 19, 1955, water-stage recorder, and Aug. 23 to Nov. 24, 1955, non-recording gage at site about 1,300 ft upstream at datum 2.19 ft higher. Nov. 25, 1955, to July 24, 1956, non-recording gage at site 40 ft upstream at present datum. Prior to November 10, 2022, the datum of gage was reported as 301.84 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 this station is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Geological Survey.

REMARKS - Flows occasionally affected by backwater from the Delaware River. Peak gage height for period of record is from floodmark, at site about 1,300 ft upstream at datum 2.19 ft higher (previously published as 27.00 ft). Records are good except those for estimated discharge, which are 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. Water-quality 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.
