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
01547950 BEECH CREEK AT MONUMENT, PA
LOCATION - Lat 41°06'42", long 77°42'09" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Centre County, PA, Hydrologic Unit 02050204, on right bank 800 ft downstream from bridge on Iron Gate road at Monument, 850 ft downstream from Monument Run, 0.6 mi upstream from Twin Run, and 8.7 mi upstream from mouth.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1968 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder and crest stage gage. Datum of gage is 741.04 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Prior to September 1, 2023, the datum of gage was reported as 741.60 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. Satellite telemetry at station.
COOPERATION - Funding for this station provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Geological Survey.
REMARKS - Records for water years 2014-2016 are good except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Records for water years 2017-2020 are good except for estimated discharge, which is poor. Records for water year 2021 are fair except for estimated discharge, which is poor.
WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 2010 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.
