Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis

The scope of work identified in the Request For Proposals outlined several sequential, interrelated project phases, including, but not limited to: (1) determining the water quality retrieval/query area around each park; (2) downloading and assessing the quality of the data from STORET; (3) generating basic water quality summary statistics and graphic plots; (4) reformatting water quality data for compatibility with the park-based Water Quality Data Management System presently underdevelopment; and (5) providing recommendations concerning possible hardware, software, and personnel options for storing combined park databases in a centralized NPS water quality database. This report documents the results of phases one through four of this effort for this park unit.
