Cumberland Piedmont Network Water Quality Report; Guilford Courthouse National Military Park
Meiman J. 2007. Cumberland Piedmont Network Water Quality Report; Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. Mammoth Cave, KY
This is the second report on water quality of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park (GUCO) generated by the Cumberland-Piedmont Network (CUPN) Water Quality Monitoring Program (contact the CUPN office for details on program design). The first report, submitted to the park in February 2005, presented the initial results of the water quality inventory, beginning in April 2004. This report will include those early findings as well as data gathered in fiscal year 2006 and display these results in graphic form (accompanied with a brief interpretation), and concludes with a water quality summary and recommendations. Water quality is measured four times per year (quarterly) on alternate years at two sites; Hunting Creek and the un-named Spring. 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 laboratory analysis for bacteria (E. coli and total coliform) and acid neutralizing capacity. An additional sample was collected from one site per round as a quality assurance – quality control provision.
