A goal of the National Park Service's Vital Signs program is to develop a long-term water quality monitoring plan for Grand Teton National Park (GRTE). The first step towards achieving this goal is to collate and evaluate existing water quality data that have been collected from water bodies in the park and surrounding area. Much of these data are stored in the EPA's STORET database. The objectives of our study were to: 1) catalog the existing water quality data for GRTE from the EPA-STORET database; 2) supplement these data with additional data as it became available; 3) review all the data for their utility in determining the status and trends in park water quality; 4) determine the status and trends and the range of variability in water quality at GRTE; and 5) identify and prioritize water quality monitoring needs in accordance with the goals of the Vital Signs monitoring program.
