This data set was assembled by personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) using data from four different water-quality monitoring organizations: (1) Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) (contact Charlie Bell, 317-308-3203, cbell@idem.in.gov), (2) Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Lake Michigan Fisheries (contact Brian Briedert, 219-874-6824, bbreidert@dnr.in.gov), (3) United States Geological Survey (USGS), Water Resources Division, Indiana District (contact Cheryl Silcox, 317-290-3333, ext 136, casilcox@usgs.gov), (4) Interagency E. coli Task Force (ECTF) (contact Mike Kuss, 219-757-0289, mkuss@idem.in.gov or Bob Theodorou, 219-944-1211 ext 1230, Bob.Theodorou@UnitedWater.com).

The IDEM data were provided in the form of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Microsoft Access database files. The USGS data were provided in a text file listing location in latitude/longitude (degrees, minutes, seconds in NAD27).The 2001 through 2004 IDNR data were provided in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet; the older IDNR data were provided in hardcopy (paper) format. The ECTF data were provided in multiple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Locations were not given explicitly; however, point locations for the ECTF data were matched by station ID with locations plotted on 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic quadrangles (ECTF, 2001). These locations were digitized on a georeferenced version of the topographic map (digital raster graphic projected in UTM Zone 16 NAD83), and the UTM coordinates were derived using a script in the Calculate Field dialog while viewing the attribute table in ESRI ArcMap v.9.0.

Description:
Abstract:
This point shapefile shows the locations for water-quality sampling sites from 1973 through 2004 used by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the United States Geological Survey, and the Interagency E. coli Task Force.
Purpose:
The point shapefile was compiled in order to conduct spatial analyses on the station locations as well as to perform an assessment of data gaps and the need and placement of additional monitoring locations (see information in Larger Work Citation details).

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Some inconsistencies were identified in the ECTF station location information; specifically, the site IDs were marked on USGS 1:24,000-scale topographic base maps and the same site IDs were used to report the results of water-quality analyses. In the reports of the analyses, the names of the stations were used in conjunction with the site IDs, and these station names did not always appear to be located in the correct locations on the location maps. However, a number of sources were used to get the UTM coordinates of the ECTF sites and the same station numbers were always used for the same locations, so we proceeded with the analyses using the plotted locations. We recommend that the user be aware that the station name might be incorrect for the location, but we believe that the reported analyses are correct for the site ID location.
