An Assessment of Coliform Bacteria in Water Sources near Appalachian Trail Shelters within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

"In Great Smoky Mountain National Park, it has long been held drinking water should be treated for the water to be drinkable. This research project will focus on water samples from a number of popular Appalachian Trail shelters, as well as more remote areas, after the spring through-hiker season and at the end of fall hiking season. The levels and species of fecal coliform organisms that can cause infectious diarrhea will be determined, which will increase awareness of waterborne illness threats for visitors of the park, and perhaps promote more consistent water purification by backcountry travelers.
7/10 springs were positive for coliforms, 6/10 with E. coli.  Coliform counts ranged from 0 - 489 CFU / 100 mL and E coli ranged from 0 - 123 CFU / 100 mL.  Spence had the most coliforms, but Silers had the most E. Coli."

Kittlitz's and marbled murrelet survey cumulative corrected observations (KM_E)

Cumulative tabular data in CSV form of Kittlitz's and marbled murrelet survey observations conducted in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GLBA) by the Southeast Alaska I&M Network (SEAN) monitoring program. During GLBA field surveys, murrelet group observation data are recorded. This single file covers all data points having bird group sightings collected since 7/5/2011. Empty trackpoint records are excluded. Records flagged as having bad data quality are also excluded.

This data product has been compared against the formal quality criteria specified in protocol KM-2023.1 (in review), found to be in complete compliance, and certified by the program lead for public dissemination on 10-MAR-2025.

Deliverable KM_E is fully defined in the protocol document package available at NPS Data Store reference 2254276.

Great Lakes Landbird Monitoring Data Package by the Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network

The Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network coordinates landbird monitoring in nine national park units. A standardized protocol published in 2010 and implemented across the Great Lakes Network parks allows for regional comparisons while still giving parks the freedom to analyze and identify trends within their boundaries. The overall goal of this protocol is to improve the consistency, comparability, quality, and access to landbird monitoring data being collected each year by network parks. To accomplish this, we: develop and use a standardized sampling method that is flexible enough to fit the unique sampling challenges at each park but still yield data that are comparable across parks and can be integrated at regional and national levels; develop and integrate quality control measures such as training and certification for observers; provide an online database for storage and retrieval of data; periodically analyze the data and report the findings to park managers through the NPS report series and resource briefs; and publish datasets, data packages, reports, and resource briefs to the NPS Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) DataStore (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/).

2019 Three-Pass Depletion Fish Census Surveys

These data represent fish census surveys in Great Smoky Mountains National Park conducted using the Delury Method of Three-Pass Depletion electrofishing. In 2019, fish were collected, sorted by species, and weighed at unique sites from streams ranging in size from first to third-order waterways. These streams are surveyed on an annual basis to monitor population trends over time.

The Long-Term Effects of Exurbanization on Stream Health and Salamander Communties in the Southeast Appalachian Mountains

The southern Appalachian Mountains have experienced a large population growth over the past 30 years. Land use practices are shifting and forests are being converted into residential land. The majority of development has been low density, suburban land, especially in the Southeast and is often near highly biodiverse areas. Streams and riparian areas may be severely degraded by conversion of rural land to urban land. The long-term effects of urbanization in the southeastern Appalachian Mountains are not well known and even less is known with respect to stream salamander response to urbanization. PI seeks to determine if streams disturbed for exurban housing will eventually rehabilitate to conditions more similar to the undisturbed sites, or if they will remain degraded in the long-term.  Streams in the park represent an undisturbed condition.  Sampled streams were all in the Tremont area, at Dorsey Branch, Lone Branch, Bull Branch and Ashley Branch, sampled three times each during the summer of 2015.

Springs and Seeps Monitoring Protocol Data for Park Units in the Northern Colorado Plateau Network from 1999-02-19 to 2024-11-20

This data package was created 2025-09-24 08:12:31 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.

Data are from the Northern Colorado Plateau Network's Springs and Seeps database that was exported/converted into an NPS WQX Electronic Data Deliverable (EDD) for EQuIS.  The EDD was also imported into NPSTORET to produce an NPSTORET version of the database named NCPN_SAS_NPSTORET_BE_20250922.ACCDB (NPSTORET back-end file).  This NPSTORET version of the database was filtered to include the following data in the Data Package:

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 six 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 data table
- Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results
- Taxon.csv - enumerates the domain of taxa available in NPSTORET to identify the organism sampled for Results

Period of record for filtered data is 1999-02-19 to 2024-11-20.  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:
