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.
USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
01545000 KETTLE CREEK NEAR WESTPORT, PA
LOCATION - Lat 41°19'10", long 77°52'27" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Clinton County, PA, Hydrologic Unit 02050203, on left bank on SR 4001, 0.4 mi upstream from Short Bend Run, 3.5 mi upstream from mouth and Westport, and 5.0 mi downstream from Alvin R. Bush Dam (Kettle Creek Lake).
DRAINAGE AREA - 233 mi².
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1954 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 727.63 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988 from benchmark. Prior to Oct 14, 1956, non-recording gage at same site and datum. Prior to June 24, 2024, the datum of gage was reported as 728.24 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Satellite telemetry at station.
COOPERATION - Station established and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. Funding for the operation of this station is provided by with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Geological Survey.
REMARKS - Flow regulated since February 1962 by Alvin R. Bush Dam (station 01544800). Records are good except those for estimated discharges, which are poor.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - April 2002 to current year.
COOPERATION - Water-quality samples were collected as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Water-Quality Network (WQN) with cooperation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
REMARKS - As of October 2013, results from discrete water quality samples collected at this site are available through the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System web interface on the "Water Quality for the Nation" webpage.
Analyses for pH, water temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen were performed on site. All other sample analyses were performed at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection laboratory in Harrisburg, Pa. Occasionally, values for filtered parameters may exceed values for the corresponding unfiltered parameter. These results are within the limits of analytical precision and methods.
