The Shenandoah National Park - University of Virginia 'Miscellaneous Data' (SHEN_UVA_MISC) project contains water quality data collected in Shenandoah National Park not attributatble to any other specific project. Other miscellaneous water quality data collected by the University of Virginia on U.S. Forest Service lor other lands can be obtained from the University of Virginia or the Water Quality Portal under the USFS_UVA_MISC and OTHR_UVA_MISC projects, respectively.
Data contained in the Shenandoah National Park - University of Virginia NPSTORET back-end file (NPS_UVA_NPSTORET_BE_20250108.ACCDB) were filtered to include:
Project:
- SHEN_UVA_MISC: Miscellaneous data

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 1980-12-03 to 2021-04-23. 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:
