PROVISIONAL DATA SUBJECT TO REVISION
 
 
  LOCATION.--Lat 41°50'35", long 74°05'11", Ulster County, Hydrologic Unit 02020007, on left bank 30 ft upstream from bridge on James Street in Rosendale, and 3 mi upstream from Wallkill River.
DRAINAGE AREA.--383 mi2.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--July 1901 to November 1903, October 1905 to December 1906 (monthly discharges only, published in WSP 1302), January 1907 to December 1913, January 1914 to January 1919 (monthly discharges only, published in WSP 1302), August 1926 to current year.
REVISED RECORDS.--WSP 756: 1933. WDR NY-90-1: Drainage Area. WDR NY-92-1: 1903.
GAGE.--Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 32.83 ft above sea level. Prior to January 1919, nonrecording gage at site 150 ft downstream at datum 6.00 ft higher. Aug. 3, 1926 to Sept. 10, 1969, at present site at datum 10.00 ft higher. Sept. 11, 1969 to Feb. 3, 1970, water-stage recorder, and June 9, 1970 to Jan. 18, 1971, nonrecording gage at site 0.2 mi upstream at datum 11.20 ft higher.
REMARKS.--Records good except those for estimated daily discharges, which are poor. Occasional regulation from hydroelectric plant upstream from station. Diversion upstream from station during navigation season for Delaware and Hudson Canal, 1901-19. Diversion from Rondout Creek through the emergency connection to the Delaware Aqueduct at Lackawack for New York City water supply during April 1944 to May 1951. Since October 1950, flow regulated by Rondout Reser- voir (see Reservoirs in Hudson River Basin). Subsequent to May 1951, entire flow except for period of spilling, diverted from Rondout Reservoir for New York City water supply. Discharge records for this station now represent the natural flow from 288 mi2 together with spillage during high flow from Rondout Reservoir. Telephone gage-height telemeter at station.
