Dataset is one layer in the Indiana Statewide GIS Database funded by Indiana Department of Transportation. Original data was edited by Bernardin, Lochmueller, and Associates. Data was obtained from the USEPA BASINS 3.0 Region 5 CD, website <http://www.epa.gov/OST/BASINS/>, and was developed by the USEPA, Office of Water, OST. BASINS created this file from the STORET data system, www.epa.gov/storet. The development of the source data had no relationship to the Indiana Statewide GIS Database.

Description:
Abstract:
WATER_QUALITY_OBSERVATIONS_EPA_IN is a point shapefile developed by the USEPA BASINS 3.0 program and edited by Bernardin, Lochmueller and Associates. Points represent monitoring stations attributed as occurring within the state of Indiana or along the Ohio River in Kentucky. Joinable tables must be utilized to access data at specific stations for specific parameters.

US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports -

"This data set provides a limited set of raw water quality observation data for the conterminous United States. The data are extracted from the U.S. EPA Storage and Retrieval of US Waters Parametric Data (STORET) which is contributed by a number of organizations including federal, state, interstate agencies, universities, contractors, individuals and water laboratories. Data updates are performed weekly. Each provider of data is responsible for the data it submits to STORET. For distribution with BASINS v.2.0, raw water quality data was extracted from STORET for a maximum of 15 stations per cataloging unit. The WQOBS data were prepared in Arcview shape file format while selected relational attributes were prepared in Arcview DBF file format."

Purpose:
To provide general information on water quality observations at monitoring stations in Indiana. US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports -

"The STORET database serves as a repository of waterway parametric data, including information on ambient, intensive survey, effluent and biological water quality."

DATA DISCLAIMER This is a small scale national database and positional error does exist. Use should be limited to broad planning and information, however, completeness and horizontal position issues prohibit this digital file from replacing field review for final decision making. This data set was compiled by Bernardin, Lochmueller and Associates, using data believed to be accurate; however, a degree of error is inherent in all data. This product is distributed "AS-IS" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of suitability of a particular purpose or use. No attempt has been made in either the designed format or production of these data to define the limits or jurisdiction of any federal, state, or local government. These data are intended for use only at the published scale or smaller and are for reference purposes only. They are not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. A detailed on-the-ground survey and historical analysis of a single site may differ from this data.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No information was included in original BASINS 3.0 metadata.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No information was included in the original BASINS 3.0 metadata. It is possible that multiple points occur concurrently at the same location.
Completeness_Report:
The monitoring stations included in this file are subset of the national dataset consisting of stations listed as occurring in Indiana and along the Ohio River in Kentucky.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Observing positional accuracy suggests that this layer is best used at smaller scales.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
No information was included in the original BASINS 3.0 metadata. Vertical accuracy does not appear to be a factor in the digital production of the data set.

Process_Description:
US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports -

"The BASINS Water Quality Observations dataset was created by extracting data from STORET for a maximum of 15 water quality stations per cataloging unit. The selection of the stations was based upon data extent and completeness. The main criteria were period of measurement, number of parameters, and number of observations. If a cataloging unit contains less than 15 stations, all were extracted. A BASINS water quality station ID was assigned to each station in order to facilitate links and joins within BASINS between station data and the monitoring data summary. For distribution with BASINS v2.0, ARCVIEW shapefiles which included the spatial extent of each of the ten U.S. EPA Regions, plus the 8-digit hydrologic units that crossed region boundaries were prepared to indicate the geographic locations of the monitoring stations within the region."

Process_Description:
The Metadata provided by the orignator to accompany the unedited data obtained by BLA, was used to create the FGDC compliant metadata which accompanies this file. Information from orignial metadata was used to fill the fields in the FGDC form and other information regarding any edits made by BLA to the original file are documented. Because information in this metadata is provided by the originator, occasionally, field information may not comply with FGDC field definitions, although the overall form is FGDC compliant. Errors are corrected when possible, but if doubt exists the field was populated by whatever information was provided by the orignator. Fields where errors have been more frequent include Data Quality Information and Entity and Attribute Information.
