[!] Over the next year, the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center will be updating the geodetic vertical elevation (gage datum) for many locations. Click HERE for additional information including a current list of streamgages with upcoming datum changes. This update in gage datum does not affect the location of the streamgage, nor the observed local gage height or discharge recorded at the streamgage.



[!] ICE EFFECTS ON STREAMFLOW -- During cold weather, stage and discharge values may be affected by ice at some streamgages. Streamgages experiencing ice conditions will have the discharge record temporarily disabled to prevent the display of erroneous discharge values. Display of discharge record will resume when it is determined that ice conditions are no longer present. Adjustment of data affected by ice can only be done after detailed analysis.

Station gage imageSTATION.--01573160 QUITTAPAHILLA CREEK NEAR BELLEGROVE, PA
LOCATION.--Lat 40`20'33.4", long 76`33'42.8", Lebanon County, Hydrologic Unit, 02050305, on upstream side of bridge over Quittapahilla Creek on Palmyra-Bellegrove Road (SR 4008) , 0.7 mi Killinger Creek, 1.8 mi south of Bellegrove.
DRAINAGE AREA.--74.2 square miles.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--Non-recording gage, October 2002 to September 2009. Continuous recording gage, October 1975 to September 1994, September 2012 to current year.
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder and crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is 361.88 ft above National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.
REMARKS.--Some regulation by Millard Quarry 0.7 mi upstream. At a minimum groundwater seepage and some surface water is pumped from the quarry into the stream. Cities of Lebanon, Annville, and Palmyra effluent discharge enters the stream at various points above the gage. Flows are not adjusted due to uncertainty of figures.
