Hackbarth C and Weissinger R. 2016. Water quality in the Northern Colorado Plateau Network: water years 2013–2015. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NCPN/NRR—2016/1332. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
Water-quality monitoring in National Park Service units of the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) is made possible through partnerships between the National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring Division, individual park units, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the State of Utah’s Division of Water Quality. This report evaluates data from site visits made at 60 different locations on NCPN streams and rivers in or near 10 NCPN park units between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2015. Data are compared to state water-quality standards for the purpose of providing information to park managers about potential water-quality problems. The National Park Service does not determine the regulatory status of surface waters; state water-quality agencies determine whether waters comply with the Clean Water Act.
