Click to hide state-specific text

[!] 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.


! This page will be decommissioned in early 2026. Modernized Water Year Summary Reports are available in WDFN. Learn more about our modernization plans and timeline.

  • 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 2025
03106500 SLIPPERY ROCK CREEK AT WURTEMBURG, PA
LOCATION - Lat 40°53'02", long 80°14'02" referenced to North American Datum of 1927, Lawrence County, PA, Hydrologic Unit 05030105,  
DRAINAGE AREA - 398 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WSP 743: Drainage area. WSP 1305: 1914-18, 1920-22, 1923-24 (M), 1925-28, 1930. WSP 1385: 1932, 1935, 1936 (M), 1937-39. WSP 1625: 1955.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 1911 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1305.
GAGE -

Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 831.6 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Jan. 1, 1912 to Sept. 30, 1922, non-recording gage at site 1.5 mi downstream at datum 13.77 ft lower and Oct. 1, 1922 to Sept. 30, 1940, non-recording gage at site 2 mi downstream at datum 18.92 ft lower. Prior to February 5, 2024, the datum of gage was reported as  832.06 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 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
REMARKS -

Some regulation since May 1969 by Lake Arthur (station 03106280) 13 mi upstream. Records for water year 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. Water quality 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.
