Cumberland Piedmont Network Water Quality Report: Third Serial; Guilford Courthouse National Military Park
Meiman J. 2009. Cumberland Piedmont Network Water Quality Report: Third Serial; Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. Mammoth Cave, KY
This is the third serial report on water quality of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park (GUCO) generated by the Cumberland-Piedmont Network (CUPN) Water Quality Monitoring Program. The first report, submitted to the park in February 2005, presented the initial results of the water quality inventory, beginning in April 2004. The second report (January 2007) included those early findings as well as data gathered in fiscal year 2006. This report will include those early findings as well as data gathered in fiscal year 2008 and display these results in graphic form (accompanied with a brief interpretation), and concludes with a water quality summary and recommendations. All data presented in this report were generated by CUPN Ecologist/Data Manager Shepard McAninch. Water quality is measured four times per year (quarterly) on alternate years at two sites; Hunting Creek and Blood Run. Based upon program requirements and findings of the water quality inventory, a set of parameters were chosen for long-term monitoring; including the field measures of water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Samples were also collected for analysis for Escherichia coli and acid neutralizing capacity (ANC). An additional sample is collected from one site per round for quality assurance/quality control.
