Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: ROLA

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge : Vegetation Mapping : Accuracy Assessment Points & Final Vegetation Shapefiles

Inventory survey on Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge to develop a current baseline vegetation map. The completed vegetation map will aid in facilitating evaluation of management alternatives, aid in the prioritization of management activities, and contribute to monitoring progress toward achieving Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) objectives. 

This reference houses the final vegetation shapefiles, as well as the accuracy assessment point shapefiles, as a single zipped folder.

NWRS Management Units 2025 Archive

The Management Units Land Feature Class defines general management units on Refuge system lands. The boundary of these units may or may not differ from related management unit boundaries (grazing, fire, wetland etc.). If only a single set of management units exist for a National Wildlife Refuge or Wetland Management District, they should be defined here. This data is managed by the National Wildlife Refuge System. Individual features and attributes are the responsibility of managing stations and their regions. This data is current to December 31, 2025.

Human Influences of the River Continuum Concept: Impacts of Anthropogenic Watershed Development and Nutrient Sources --  in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Field Methods:
Undisturbed streams with easy access from parallel trails and crossings within the Smoky Mt National Park will be sampled from headwater (1 or 2 order stream reaches) to main valley reaches (4th or 5th order streams) at sites determined to represent increasing stream orders and compared to natural and impacted streams and rivers surrounding Grandfather Mt State Park (e.g. Wilson Cr, S. Fork New River, N. Toe River, Watauga River) in northwestern North Carolina. At each sampling site, water chemistry parameters will be collected using mulitmeters and probes for pH, temp, conductivity, and DO. Water samples (250ml) will be collected and kept ice cold until returned to AppState where they will be analyzed for toxic metals by ICP-OES and anions (Chloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate) by ion chromatography. Aquatic insects will be collected by NC DWQ standard methods at stream sites and will be keyed out to family and genus (and species when possible) and used to determine stream scores, diversity indices, and % belonging to the trophic feeding guilds. 

We are still investigating appropriate streams within the park boundaries through discussions with park staff, but the following streams are being considered:
Cataloochee Creek, Cosby Creek, Deep Creek, 20 Mile Creek, Oconaluftee River, Little River, Nolan, (off Blue Ridge Parkway) Buchannon Creek of N. Fork Catawba R., Wilson Creek (Pisgah Nat'l Forest) and West Prong Little Pigeon River.

Method of access
Roads that have stream crossings, or hiking trails that follow a good portion of the length of the streams. Samples will be collected by visual collections and kick seining ~30ft2 riffle habitats. No large stones will be moved in order to preserve aquatic habitat for salamanders (e.g. hellbenders). Use of waders and boots will not be used in summer collections in order to reduce possibility of introduction of invasive or nuisance species.
