This data package was created 2024-10-17 17:52:53 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.

Data are from monitoring conducted to assess the potential impacts of the Straight Fork Road Bridge Construction Project in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Straight Fork road ford was replaced with a bridge in early 2006. The purpose of this project was to determine if the water quality during bridge construction from March 2006 through August 2006 was significantly different than the water quality prior to construction (October 2004 through September 2005).

Data contained in Great Smoky Mountains National Park NPSTORET back-end file (GRSM_NPSTORET_BE_20240510_20240510_1245.ACCDB) were filtered to include:

Organization: - GRSM: Great Smoky Mountains National Park Project: - GRSM_SF: Straight Fork Road Bridge Construction Project 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 five 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 datatable - Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results

Period of record for filtered data is 2004-10-27 to 2004-10-27. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project.
