Rates of flow across the sediment-water interface (seepage), measured every 5 seconds with an automated seepage meter and summarized every minute with a digital datalogger, are presented for 17 measurement locations at Newtown Creek, NY. Final values are presented in cm/day. An electromagnetic seepage meter, custom made for USGS by Quantum Engineering, was capable of measuring seepage averaged each minute with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 cm/d. Deployments at each location lasted at least two tidal cycles. Three ESM systems were available but most of the time only two systems were operated simultaneously, requiring several weeks to obtain measurements at all 17 locations. Data are presented in an Excel workbook composed...

Efficiency of seepage meters, long considered a fixed property associated with the meter design, is not constant in highly permeable sediments. Instead, results from this study indicate that efficiency varies substantially with seepage-bag fullness, duration of bag attachment, depth of meter insertion into the sediments, and seepage velocity. Efficiency also varies substantially in response to variable hydraulic conductivity. The first worksheet titled "Literature efficiency" presents seepage-meter efficiency values from the literature to show the progression of efficiency versus time. The remaining 7 worksheets present time-series data showing seepage-meter efficiency related to several different tests: (1) flow...
