Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: NICO

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).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Capulin Volcano National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

The vegetation map for Capulin Volcano National Monument was developed using a combined strategy of automated digital-image classification and direct analog-image interpretation of aerial photography and satellite imagery. Initially, the aerial photography and satellite imagery were processed and entered into a GIS along with ancillary spatial layers. A working legend of ecologically based vegetation map units was developed using the vegetation classification described in Chapter 2 as the foundation. The intent was to develop map units that targeted the plant-association level wherever possible within the constraints of image quality, information content, and resolution. With the provisional legend and ground-control points provided by the field-plot data (the same data used to develop the vegetation classification), a series of automated image segmentation and supervised image classifications were conducted, followed by fine-scale map refinement using direct image interpretation and manual editing. The outcome was a vegetation map composed of a suite of map units defined by plant associations and represented by sets of mapped polygons with similar spectral and physical characteristics.

Southeast Alaska Network water quality raw sonde data for monitoring year 2013 (FQ_E)

Water quality sensor data are logged by YSI 6920V2 multiparameter sondes during the 2010 – 2020 monitoring seasons. YSI’s EcoWatch or EcoWatchLite software is used to read and graph raw (DAT format) data files. A season cumulative raw data file is uploaded from the sonde during each monthly maintenance visit. The FQ_E deliverable includes all DAT files from all monthly visits from all monitoring sites in the sampling year, zipped into a single archive file. No corrections or quality control are applied at this stage. Sondes log data cumulatively during the season and are not erased, thus typically only the final file for each site is of interest; all other DAT files are retained in event of data or sensor loss. The details of FQ_E are in SEAN protocol package FQ-2013.1, SOP 8.

Amphibian Inventory for Vancouver National Historic Reserve tabular data

Amphibian survey tabular data for Fort Vancouver National Historical Reserve, 2002-2003. 

Our primary goal for FOVA was to search for the presence of expected species: Ensatina, western red-backed salamander, northern red-legged frog, Oregon spotted frog, American bullfrog, Pacific treefrog, and western toad. At the request of the FOVA Superintendent, the inventory was expanded to include the Reserve and three additional species expected to occur within the Reserve: northwestern salamander, long-toed salamander, and rough-skinned newt. Reptiles were not targeted during this project but were documented when encountered.

Thirteen surveys were conducted within the Reserve. Three of 10 species (Ensatina, Pacific treefrog, and long-toed salamander) expected to inhabit the Reserve were observed but no amphibians or reptiles were found within FOVA. The common garter snake was also documented in the Reserve. Species absence is extremely difficult to determine; some species recorded historically or occasionally but not detected during our survey efforts may still be present in the park. Additional surveys of targeted habitats and species should be conducted.

This project at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (FOVA) and the greater Vancouver National Historic Reserve was part of a larger effort to document species presence at five North Coast and Cascades Network parks: Mount Rainier National Park, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA), Lewis and Clark National Historical Site (LEWI, formerly FOCL), FOVA, and San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH). Four parks (EBLA, FOCL, FOVA, and SAJH) had incomplete amphibian lists based on limited or undocumented data. Our primary goal was to meet the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program goal to better assess the status of amphibian species listed as “expected” in the parks and to verify the occurrence of 90% of these species. Species occurrences were documented or verified by written records and photographs; no specimens were collected in this inventory. Prior to this inventory, FOVA had no verified list of amphibians and reptiles occurring in the park. Additional searches of museum specimens and state records have not been completed.

Pilot Landbird Monitoring at Grand Teton National Park, 2005-2008 - Geospatial Data

Landbird monitoring is a widely used monitoring type that can help land managers determine the habitat quality within the survey area. The Greater Yellowstone Network (GRYN) used landbird monitoring to determine the quality of select habitats within Grand Teton National Park (GRTE): High elevation/Alpine, aspen, riparian floodplain, riparian willow, and sage shrub steppe/sagebrush. Both point count and transect methods were employed to record the landbirds encountered along randomly-selected 2.1 km-long transects and 15 points within these habitats. In addition to habitat quality, the data found in these surveys can be used to determine the distribution and density of target landbird species, community dynamics, and habitat (vegetation) structure. The surveys that produced these data were performed in the months following the end of spring migration yearly, from 2005 to 2008.

Phytoplankton Communities and Biomass in Lakes in the Noatak National Preserve July 2006

These data provide information about phytoplankton community composition and biomass in 8 lakes in the Noatak National Preserve during early to mid July 2006. Phytoplankton were collected using an integrated tube sampler, preserved in Lugol's solution and sent to Phycotech for analysis. Files include a raw data file and a summary report. Phytoplankton was collected by the Arctic Network Inventroy and Monitoring Program (NPS) and Chris Luecke (Utah State University). In addition to collecting phytoplankton, we also collected zooplankton and used a multiparmater instrument (Hach Hydrolab) to obtain vertical profiles of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity and relative chlorophyll fluorescence. Concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the epilimnion were determined. These datasets are aslo stored on the NPS data store.

Index Layers for High-Resolution Orthorectified Imagery from 2003 for the Coastal Areas of Cape Krusenstern NM (CAKR), Northwest Alaska

This vector shapefile is one of two index map layers for a 2003 digital orthophoto mosaic for the coastal and nearshore areas of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA), Cape Krusenstern National Monument (CAKR), and nearby portions of northwestern Alaska. The index polygons are attributed with a code for each of the 103 tiles. The orthophoto mosaic was created by Aero-Metric from 1:24,000-scale, natural-color aerial photographs acquired for NPS on July 19, 2003, and for NOAA on September 14-24, 2003. Other imagery available in this series includes orthorectified aerial photography for approximately 1950 and 1980. All data is available through an unrestricted public license, and can be obtained on a hard drive by request (see Distributor contact information below). The imagery will be of interest to land managers, scientists, and others for observation and analysis of natural features and ecosystems.
