The Department of Environmental Science is offering a grant to develop software tools and databases for the quality assurance and archiving of NPS-collected water quality data in EPA’s STORET Data Warehouse and the National Water Quality Monitoring Council’s Water Quality Portal. The grant aims to make this data accessible to EPA, states, and the public, including the integration of EarthSoft’s EQuIS and Aquatic Informatics’ Aquarius. This initiative will help archive NPS water resources data for Clean Water Act assessments and provide the public with updated information on the impairment status of NPS waters.

| Description: | CSU staff will continue to work with the NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) to research and develop new tools, techniques, and databases to quality assure and archive NPS-collected water quality data in the EPA���s STORET Data Warehouse and the National Water Quality Monitoring Council���s Water Quality Portal to make them available to EPA, states, and the public. This includes continued research and ongoing development of NPSTORET and the various electronic data deliverable format specifications that will be made available for public use. EarthSoft���s EQuIS and Aquatic Informatics��� Aquarius will be integrated into the process for providing NPS data to the EPA and the public. NPS continuous and discrete water resources data will be archived and made available for Clean Water Act assessments. Other legacy, non-database records and documents will be organized, archived, and made available for dissemination unless prevented by other mandates. A system for providing the public with the impairment status of NPS waters will be updated. |
