Quaternary ammonium compounds in wastewater treatment effluents from 2020 to 2021

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) are used in many commercial and household disinfection products. A method was developed to measure QAC occurrence in water discharged from three wastewater treatment plants during 2020 and 2021. Water samples (20 mL) were processed via solid phase extraction using weak cation exchange (WCX) cartridges (3 cc, 60 mg) and analyzed via liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Samples were analyzed for 12 QACs including benzethonium, six benzylalkyldimethyl ammonium compounds (BAC), three dialkyldimethyl ammonium compounds (DADMAC), and two ethylbenzylalkyldimethyl ammonium compounds (EBACs). QACs were detected in 100% of WWTP effluents with individual concentrations ranging 2.30-1,630 ng/L and total QAC concentrations (ΣQAC, the sum of 12 QAC) ranged 38.1-3,450 ng/L. The average concentrations of QACs detected in effluents was 49% BAC (average ΣBAC = 168 ng/L), 38% DADMAC (average ΣDADMAC = 119 ng/L), 9% EBACs (ΣEBAC = 25.0 ng/L), and 4% benzethonium (15.6 ng/L).

Sediment generated noise and bedload data from the Trinity River, California, 2015-2019.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed acoustic bedload monitoring systems at four sites along the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam to record the noise generated by mobilized bed material, known as sediment generated noise (SGN) (Geay and others, 2017). The four sites are: Trinity River at Lewiston (TRAL, 11525500), Trinity River above Grass Valley Creek (TRGVC, 11525630), Trinity River at Limekiln Gulch (TRLG, 11525655) and Trinity River at Douglas City (TRDC, 11525854). These sites were selected because bedload measurements are frequently made at these locations during restoration flows as part of monitoring done by the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP). Monitoring took place in the spring of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. SGN is presented as a time-series of acoustic power in units of microPascals squared. Also presented here are paired bedload and acoustic  power datasets. Bedload data were collected by GMA Hydrology Inc. (Pittman, 2016; Pittman, 2017; Pittman, 2018; Pittman 2020).

2004 Post-Hurricane Charley West Florida EAARL Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2004 Post-Hurricane Charley West Florida EAARL lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Geohydrology data for groundwater analysis in the Lake Superior Watershed

This child item contains geology and hydrogeology data used in the hydrogeologic characterization of the Lake Superior watershed and a shapefile of water budget zones for reporting water budget terms for Lake Superior.  The geology data include shapefiles of bedrock units from the USGS Geologic map database (Horton, 2017) and surficial geology units from Soller and others (2012).  A compilation of hydrogeologic properties (hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity) from a variety of studies in and around the Lake Superior basin and from a field study conducted in 2021 is included in a data table and the values are applied to the bedrock and surficial unit shapefiles. We also include here a zipped grid of simulated groundwater discharge to surface water (rivers and streams) extracted from the Zell and Sanford (2020) MODFLOW6 model of the shallow groundwater in the United States. The sources of data used in the compilation of properties also are included.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 Site 0604 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Samoan swallowtail, life history, specimen fate, 2013-2014

Surveys for immature life stages of Papilio godeffroyi were conducted on 117 individually marked host trees (Micromelum minutum) in eight forest stands on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, at approximately monthly intervals during 2013-2014. The eight stands were mostly in or adjacent to the National Park of American Samoa (NPSA), but one site was sampled near the western tip of Tutuila, outside NPSA. Papilio life stages included eggs, eggshells, larvae, pupae, and exuviae, which were taken to the laboratory at American Samoa Community College for examination and processing. Specimens were reared (live specimens) or assessed (dead or inert specimens) to determine their reproductive outcome and rates of parasitism. Live eggs, larvae, and pupae were maintained in environmental chambers with fresh host plant foliage, and dead eggs were dissected to determine whether a Papilio embryo or parasitoid wasps were present. Eggshells were examined for signs that a Papilio larvae or parasitoid wasps had emerged. This metadata includes records for the end developmental stage for each reared specimen was recorded. These data can be used with other reproductive data available in this data release and with host plant and habitat data (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9A6CXQX), to evaluate variation in reproductive parameters relative to seasonality and physical differences between individual host trees and host tree stands.

Samoan swallowtail, life history, sampling effort, 2013-2014

Surveys for immature life stages of Papilio godeffroyi were conducted on 117 individually marked host trees (Micromelum minutum) in eight forest stands on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, at approximately monthly intervals during 2013-2014. The eight sites were mostly in or adjacent to the National Park of American Samoa (NPSA), but one stand was located near the western tip of Tutuila, outside NPSA. Specimens of immature Papilio (eggs, eggshells, larvae, pupae) and exuviae were collected during surveys and taken to the laboratory at American Samoa Community College for analysis, and in the case of living specimens, rearing. Sampling effort was measured in terms of number, area, and dry weight of host plant leaves examined during each survey. These methods allowed the frequency of specimen encounter to be compared in a standardized way according to the amount of host plant foliage examined on each host tree and in each host plant stand.

Samoan swallowtail, life history, parasitoids, 2013-2014

Surveys for Papilio godeffroyi eggs were conducted on 117 individually marked host trees (Micromelum minutum) in eight forest stands on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, at approximately monthly intervals during 2013-2014. The eight host tree stands were mostly in or adjacent to the National Park of American Samoa (NPSA), but one stand was sampled near the western tip of Tutuila, outside NPSA. Intact Papilio eggs were collected and brought into the laboratory at American Samoa Community College to be reared to determine their reproductive outcome and rates of parasitism. Eggs were maintained in environmental chambers with fresh host plant foliage until a Papilio larvae hatched or parasitoid wasps emerged. The number, sex, and date of emergence of wasps yielded by each Papilio egg was determined to increase knowledge about factors potentially limiting Papilio reproduction. Of 282 egg samples that were parasitized, 281 were of one species, the newly described  Ooencyrtus pitosina (Encyrtidae), but a single Papilio egg yielded another species (undescribed). These data can be used with other reproductive data available in this data release to evaluate the impact of egg parasitism on P. godeffroyi reproduction.
