Emmott R, Witcher B, DeVivo JC. 2018. Data quality standards: Monitoring freshwater mussels in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and Obed Wild and Scenic River. Natural Resource Report. NPS/APHN/NRR—2018/1857. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The purpose of this report is to document the standards used by the Appalachian Highlands Network (APHN) for activities related to the collection, processing, storage, analysis, and publication of monitoring data as described in Monitoring Freshwater Mussels in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and Obed Wild and Scenic River: Protocol Narrative (Emmott et al. 2018). The policies and procedures documented in this quality-assurance plan for activities complement the quality-assurance plans for other monitoring activities conducted by the Appalachian Highlands Network and supplement the National Inventory & Monitoring Division Quality Management Plan (in prep). The plan also serves as a guide for all APHN personnel who are involved in protocol or program activities, and as a resource for identifying memoranda, publications, and other literature that describe associated techniques and requirements in more detail.
