This grant, facilitated by Colorado State University in collaboration with the NPS Water Resources Division, aims to compile and develop comprehensive water resource databases and tools. It supports 32 ‘Park Vital Signs’ monitoring networks by collecting essential water-quality data, which CSU and WRD actively use to populate STORET. The collected data is crucial for preparing Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Reports. These reports serve as a foundation for establishing long-term water-quality monitoring programs within each network and assist states in their Clean Water Act 305(b) water quality assessments and 303(d) impairment lists. Additionally, the initiative addresses data gaps by contracting short-term baseline data collection efforts.

| Description: | This is a notice of intent only. This task agreement will provide 32 Park Vital Signs monitoring networks throughout the country to collect primary and secondary water-quality parameter data in impaired, threatened, and Outstanding National/State Resource waters. In a parallel effort, the NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) and Colorado State University (CSU) students and staff have been actively populating a local copy of STORET with water-quality data collected by park staff, contractors, and cooperators. This data has been used by CSU and WRD to prepare Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Reports for public use. These reports provide the foundation for establishing the long-term water-quality monitoring program within each Park Vital Signs monitoring network and can assist states in preparing their statewide 305(b) water quality assessments and 303(d) impairment lists under the Clean Water Act. Additionally, where Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Reports have identified a lack of data for key waterbodies, the NPS has contracted for short-term Level I baseline water-quality data collection efforts to eliminate the data gaps. |
