Water-Year Summary for Site 03034000
WDR PA-87-3: 1977-86 (P).
Revisions: Specific conductance records for Apr. 20, 2019, were revised on Feb. 28, 2020, the record was erroneous and removed.
Diurnal fluctuations at low flow may be caused by mine pump-age into stream upstream of station. Records are considered good except those for estimated discharges, which are poor.
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. Data collection for pH and dissolved oxygen is suspended November through March. Other interruptions in the records were due to equipment malfunctions.
Historically, water temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius were not reported. Water temperature sensors now have the ability to accurately read water temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
Cross-sectional water quality data is available upon request.
For water year 2014, records for water temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen are rated good. Records for specific conductance are rated good, except for May 23 to June 7, which are rated fair, and June 8 to July 22, which are rated poor.
For water year 2015, records for water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and pH are rated fair. Values measures by the monitor may not be representative of the entire stream width.
For water year 2016. records for water temperature and dissolved oxygen are rated good. Records for specific conductance are rated good, except for April 12-27, which are fair. Records for pH are rated good, except for September 9-12, which are fair, and March 8-18, which are poor.
For water year 2017, records for water temperature are rated good. Records for specific conductance are rated good, except for October 4 to March 29, which are fair. Records for pH are rated good. Records for dissolved oxygen are rated good, except for October 4-25, which are fair.
For water year 2018, records for water temperature are rated good. Records for specific conductance are rated good, except for October 7-10 and December 19 to January 30, which are fair, and January 31 to February 10, which are poor. Record for pH is rated good, except for August 3 to October 3, which is fair. Records for dissolved oxygen are rated good, except for September 25 and 26, which are poor.
Beginning in water year 2019, water quality records are not rated as "excellent", "good", "fair", or "poor".
