Water-Year
Summary
instructions
and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

01362370 STONY CLOVE CREEK BELOW OX CLOVE AT CHICHESTER, NY
LOCATION - Lat 42°06'07.3", long 74°18'39.2" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Ulster County, NY, Hydrologic Unit 02020006, on left bank below Ox Clove, 10 ft downstream from bridge on State Highway 214, and 1.8 mi upstream from mouth, at Chichester.
DRAINAGE AREA - 30.9 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR NY-99-1: 1997(P), 1998(P).
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Annual maximum only--1997, February 1997 to current year. Prior to October 2006, published as "near Phoenicia" (01362380).
GAGE - Water-stage recorder, crest-stage gage, and concrete control. Datum of gage is 947.52 ft above NAVD of 1988. Prior to Aug. 7, 2007, at site 0.5 mi downstream at datum 55.48 ft lower.
REMARKS - Water Years 2014-23: Records fair except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor.
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 7,600 ft³/s, Apr. 4, 1987, by computation of slope-area measurement at site 250 ft upstream (drainage area, 26.9 mi²). Discharges for other floods by computation of slope-area measurements at site 1.8 mi downstream (drainage area, 33.3 mi²), are as follows: 6,560 ft³/s, Nov. 25, 1950, and 4,460 ft³/s, Apr. 5, 1952.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 14,300 ft³/s, Aug. 28, 2011, gage height, 9.61 ft, from rating curve extended above 2,900 ft³/s on basis of runoff comparison of slope-area measurement at gage height 7.92 ft (present site), from floodmarks, at site 250 ft upstream (drainage area, 26.9 mi²); maximum gage height, 10.33 ft, Apr. 2, 2005, site and datum then in use; minimum discharge, 2.49 ft³/s, Aug. 29, 30, 2022, gage height, 2.04 ft; minimum gage height, 1.96 ft, Aug. 31, Sept. 8, 9, 10, 2001, site and datum then in use.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 2010 to current year.
PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - TURBIDITY: DTS12 - November 2010 to February 2011, May 2011 to August 2011, October 2011 to February 2012, October 2013 to current year. Analite - November 2022 to current year.
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION: October 2016 to current year.
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT DISCHARGE: October 2016 to current year.
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION: October 2016 to current year.
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT DISCHARGE: October 2016 to current year.
COOPERATION - In cooperation with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
INSTRUMENTATION - An optical turbidity sensor provides readings at 15-minute intervals since November 2010.
REMARKS - Turbidity data are collected every 15 minutes using an in situ turbidity probe located in the same pipe with the automatic sampler intake tubing which is a 2 inch diameter galvanized steel pipe extending 3 ft from the left bank. Daily suspended-sediment load and concentration are derived from a regression equation relating turbidity to suspended-sediment concentration.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - TURBIDITY: DTS12 - Maximum, 1,860 FNU, Dec. 1, 2010; minimum, <0.2 FNU, on many days. Analite - Maximum, 1,260 FNU, Oct. 7, 2023; minimum, <0.2FNU, Dec. 12, 2022, Apr. 20, June 6, Aug. 2, Nov. 4, 5, 6, 8, 2023. [<, actual value is known to be less than the value shown]
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION: Maximum daily mean, 2,860 mg/L, Dec. 1, 2010; minimum daily mean, <1 mg/L, on Aug. 24, Sept. 1, 24, 28, 29, 2014. [<, actual value is known to be less than the value shown]
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT DISCHARGE: Maximum daily, 8,860 tons, Sept. 18, 2012; minimum daily, <0.01 tons, Jan. 15, 16, 17, 2012, on many days in September 2013. [<, actual value is known to be less than the value shown]
SUSPENDED-SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION: Maximum daily mean, 2,860 mg/L, Dec. 1, 2010; minimum daily mean, <1 mg/L, on Aug. 24, Sept. 1, 24, 28, 29, 2014. [<, actual value is known to be less than the value shown]
