The New York District is in the process of converting vertical datums used on its Controlling Depth Reports and Surveys from a local datum to the current epoch of MLLW (1983-2001). Waterway users interested in channel conditions may refer to the most recent Reports of Channel Conditions provided below. The minimum controlling depths are shown by channel segments on standard forms, along with notes on the location of shoals and other critical information. Coast Guard (USCG), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other government offices. This information is then reported to the U.S. The New York District performs periodic surveys throughout our geographic area of responsibility to determine channel conditions. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for reporting the conditions of Federally maintained navigation channels.
