Subject: Changes in Gauge Zero Elevation above North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) for the river gauge on the
West Branch of the St. Regis River near Parishville, NY.
Effective March 3, 2025, the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) will change the Gauge Zero elevation for the river gauge on
the West Branch of the St. Regis River near Parishville, NY
(PARN6) from 969.05 feet above NAVD88 to 969.24 feet above NAVD88.
This change is reflective of a broader effort by the USGS to
update all gauges to reference a more accurate geodetic datum. The
gauge will remain at the same physical location. Only the defined
elevation of the Gauge Zero will change. Observations and
forecasts will also remain as stage reported in feet above Gauge
Zero, so this change will remain largely transparent.
The National Weather Service welcomes public feedback. If you have
any questions or comments on these changes, please contact:
