USGS Site No. 01426000. Latitude 42.059381 Longitude -75.426851 by Map Interpolation NAD83 decimal degrees. Population of Watershed: 2000: 1,346 2010: 1,303 Drainage Area: 67.94 square miles, tributary to West Branch Delaware River Zone W (West Branch) EWQ definition currently underway by USGS/NPS, anticipated Completion by 2018 This tributary to the West Branch Delaware River was added to the list of control points because of necessity to establish baseline water quality conditions prior to potential natural gas development activities. Nearest upstream Interstate Control Point: None; compare with West Branch Delaware River at Stilesville, which is sited just below Cannonsville Reservoir (NYSDEC has data for Cannonsville release water quality) Nearest downstream receiving Interstate Control Point: West Branch Delaware River at Hale Eddy. Known dischargers within watershed: Undefined Watershed is 85.5 % forested; urban land cover is 0.8%. 100% glaciated. No carbonate rock. Mean annual precipitation 44.5 inches.
