Carl Sandburg National Historic Site, Water Quality Summary, Fiscal Year 2017

Meiman J. 2018. Carl Sandburg National Historic Site, Water Quality Summary, Fiscal Year 2017. National Park Service

The Cumberland Piedmont Network (CUPN) began long-term monitoring of water quality at Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site (CARL) in fiscal year 2003 (October 2002 through September 2003). Sampling occurs quarterly in alternating years. Water quality is measured at four sites: Front Lake, Side Lake, Mountain Reservoir and Trout Spring. Based upon program requirements and specific park concerns, a set of parameters was chosen for long-term monitoring, including the field measures of water temperature, specific conductance (SpC), pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO). Samples also undergo laboratory analysis for Escherichia coli (E. coli). Water-quality data are available upon request to the Cumberland Piedmont Network.
