SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
LOCATION.--Lat 41°04'35", long 74°41'43"
referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Lafayette Township, Sussex
County, NJ, Hydrologic Unit 02040105, on right downstream wingwall of
bridge on Garrison Road, 0.8 mi upstream from mouth, 1.6 mi south of
Lafayette, and 3.4 mi northeast of Newton.
DRAINAGE AREA.--13.0 mi
2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--Continuous-record discharge station, August
1992 to current year.
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder with telemetry and crest-stage gage.
Datum of gage is 555.40 ft above NGVD of 1929 (levels from American
Geodetic Survey Company benchmark).
REMARKS.--Records good, except for estimated discharges, which
are fair. Possible regulation from ponds and golf courses upstream.
Beaver dam construction may occasionally affect flow. A significant
portion of the base flow was the result of continuous pumpage from a
limestone quarry into a tributary approximately 1.5 mi upstream from
gage, until April 2004 when it largely ceased with only occasional
short periods of pumping.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum discharge, 589 ft³/s,
Aug 28, 2011, gage height, 6.63 ft; minimum discharge, 0.16 ft³/s, Sep
12, 2016, possible result of regulation.
