About this Dataset

Monitoring Associated With Greenbrier Road Upgrade

This data package was created 2024-10-17 17:43:59 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.

Data are from monitoring conducted to assess the potential impacts of the Greenbrier Road road-widening project in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The dataset includes 2,631 results collected from 6/23/2003 to 9/29/2004 at 6 monitoring locations comprising stream and bulk deposition sites.

Data contained in Great Smoky Mountains National Park NPSTORET back-end file (GRSM_NPSTORET_BE_20240510_20240510_1245.ACCDB) were filtered to include:

Organization:

GRSM: Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Project:
GRSM_MPL: Monitoring Associated with Greenbrier Road Upgrade
Station:
Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
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 2003-06-23 to 2004-09-29. 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:
