Important information about this monitoring location

LOCATION.-- on left bank, 3.3 miles upstream of mouth, 0.7 miles northwest of Kenilworth. PERIOD OF RECORD.-- July 2024 to present. GAGE.-- Water-stage recorder and velocity meter. Datum of gage is 0.00 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. REMARKS.-- This is a tidal discharge station. Discharge is computed from relations between stage vs. area and index velocity vs. mean channel velocity. PERIOD OF RECORD (Water Quality).-- July 2024 to present. REMARKS (Water Quality).-- Turbidity values greater than 1,000 formazin nepthelometric units (FNU) exceed the instrument calibration range. Values above 1,000 FNU are included in the record but are presumed to have lower accuracy. The accuracy limit of the turbidity sensor in low turbidity water is +/- 0.3 FNU. October 1, 2024: Values are censored and qualified as Less Than 0.3 FNU if they are recorded below 0.3 FNU.
