Location context and information

May 7, 1914, to Sept. 30, 1930, and July 6, 1979, to Dec. 5, 1980, non-recording gage. June 30, 1977, to July 5, 1979, water-stage recorder at site 2,800 ft downstream on right bank at same datum. July 5, 1979 to Aug 30, 2018, water-stage recorder at site 1,300 ft downstream on left bank at same datum. Aug 30, 2018 to Apr 25, 2023, water-stage recorder at site 2,700 ft downstream on trail bridge at same datum. Flow regulated by Still Creek Reservoir (station 01469200) since February 1933, Blue Marsh Lake (station 01470870) since April 1979, and to some extent by Lake Ontelaunee. The 30-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.
