About this Dataset

Data From A 2007-2008 Shenandoah National Park - University Of Virginia Project To Characterize Threatened And Impaired Headwater Streams And Springs In Shenandoah National Park

This data package was created 2025-01-14 13:47:36 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.

Data were collected in response to recommendations in a Water Resources Scoping Report, to provide essential information for revision of the park's General Management Plan, and to develop and implement its GPRA goals. The goal of the project was to expand the water resource inventory and monitoring programs in Shenandoah National Park from the lower stream reaches of the park to include headwaters and springs and examine the newly identified threat from mercury deposition.

Data contained in Shenandoah National Park - University of Virginia NPSTORET back-end file (NPS_UVA_NPSTORET_BE_20250108.ACCDB) were filtered to include:

Project:

SHEN_UVA_HEADWATER_STUDY_2007: Characterize Threatened and Impaired Headwater Streams and Springs in Shenandoah National Park
Station:
Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
Park/Unit Code:
SHEN
Value Status:
Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final

The data package is organized into five data tables:

Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts
Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations
Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping
HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations datatable
Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results

Period of record for filtered data is 2007-05-21 to 2008-05-01. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at:
