DRAINAGE AREA.--591 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--October 1945 to Sept. 1948 (monthly discharge only, published in WSP 1302). October 1982 to current year. Gage height records beginning 1935 are contained in reports of the U.S. Weather Bureau. Miscellaneous measurements, water years 1977-78, 1980-81, and annual maximum, 1982. GAGE.--Water-stage recorder, crest-stage gage, and climatological sensor. Datum of gage is 444.26 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Prior to August 1970, at same site at datum 2.0 ft higher. Prior to December 1982, non-recording gage at highway bridge 190 ft upstream at same datum. Satellite and landline telemetry at station. FLOOD STAGE.--NOAA, National Weather Service river forecast station flood stage provided to USGS April 1999 is 10 feet. COOPERATION.--Funding for the operation of this station is provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District. REMARKS.-- The 15-minute precipitation data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Time series of 1-hour or cumulative daily values will NOT be available for retrieval following the 120-day display period. Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once a year, the temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies. This station managed by the Williamsport Field Office.
