EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of a cooperative agreement between the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) and the Central Plains Center for BioAssessment (CPCB) at the Kansas Biological Survey (KBS), relevant water quality standards, biological & physical habitat sampling methods, biological criteria, methods for determining reference conditions, and water quality data were examined for each HTLN park service unit. When available, legacy data from the NPS and other relevant agencies (e.g. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, etc.) were compiled into a relational database and analyzed in order of HTLN priority. This document constitutes the water quality analysis portion for Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA). Listed in order of rank, priorities for this park (as identified by HTLN) were: habitat (rivers and streams); pathogens (rivers and streams)*; amphibians (wetlands); nutrient loading and cycling (wetlands); toxicity (rivers and streams)*; macroinvertebrates (rivers and streams); core elements (rivers and streams)*; nutrient loading (rivers and streams); water level/discharge*; fish; metal contamination (rivers and streams)*; core elements (wetlands); sediment toxicity (rivers and streams); fluvial geomorphology (rivers and streams); water clarity (rivers and streams)*. Priorities marked with an asterisk had statistically viable data for at least one relevant parameter and were included in the analyses of this report. The Cuyahoga River is the only waterbody in the park study area with specific uses designated by the state of Ohio. These designated uses are: Warmwater Habitat, Agricultural Water Supply, Industrial Water Supply, Primary Contact Recreation, State Resource Water. Secondary contact recreation standards were also considered. All segments of the Cuyahoga River within the park study area were listed as impaired for aquatic life and human health (fish tissue), with 3 of 6 assessment units also listed as impaired for recreation use. Of the 142,951 records of 473 parameters at 227 stations in the park study area (roughly 3 miles upstream and 1 mile downstream from the park boundary), 117,288 records of 250 parameters at 139 stations were suitable for meaningful statistical analyses. The period of record for raw, unfiltered data was from 16 September 1922 to 17 October 2005. Analyses were performed to examine three general areas: core elements (as identified by NPS servicewide), priority concerns (as identified by HTLN), and potential concerns (as determined by comparison of data with relevant criteria). The core elements – alkalinity, pH, specific conductance (conductivity), dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and flow – were all within acceptable ranges for flowing water systems. Of the priority concerns, stream pathogens (as indicated by Escheria coli, fecal coliforms, and total coliforms), nutrients (as indicated by total nitrogen and total phosphorus), stream toxics (specifically arsenic), and metals (aluminum, manganese, and cadmium) all appear to be consistently above criterion limits for some portion of the year in some park waterbodies. However, elevated values for arsenic and metals may either be the result of actual in situ concentrations or relatively high detection and reporting
ii
limits in some sampling methods. Further analysis is required to discern this difference. Potential concerns identified by comparison with federal criteria are total phosphorus, toxic non-metals (arsenic and cyanide), potential pathogens (specifically E. coli), and toxic metals (cadmium, lead, and copper). Turbidity was also identified as a potential concern at relatively few locations. Park managers should consider including these elements in future research programs. In addition to these findings, the following recommendations are made: exchange information with other agencies (especially Ohio EPA and USGS) that study park-related waters; relate sampling locations to relevant regulatory waterbody segments; be sure to document and standardize metadata; standardize database files; be sure to uniquely define sampling locations; establish a sampling design for long-term trend analysis; take hardness measurements concurrently with metals; take pH and temperature measurements concurrent with ammonia; develop study areas along watershed boundaries; and correlate water quality parameters with actual park use.

OVERVIEW Aquatic and water dependent environments are fundamentally important to the ecological, biological, chemical, and physical integrity of significant portions of lands and waters protected by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS). As part of its mission to preserve and protect these aquatic and water dependent resources, NPS has recognized the need for a plan to ensure the integrity of water quality within park service units over the long term. Accordingly, the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) of the National Park Service began the aquatic component of the Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program in FY 2001. As part of this aquatic component, HTLN entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of Kansas’ Central Plains Center for BioAssessment (CPCB) to aid in the development of a comprehensive Network Monitoring Plan. In this endeavor, CPCB’s tasks were: 1) to summarize existing relevant state, national, and tribal water quality standards applicable to waterbodies within each of the HTLN parks, 2) to summarize existing relevant state, national, tribal, and NPS protocols for biological monitoring and to determine, when applicable, whether appropriate methods exist for use by each HTLN park, 3) to recommend monitoring designs based on these findings, 4) to update water quality monitoring data collected for each HTLN park since publication of that park’s NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) Baseline Water Quality Report, where possible, 5) to develop an accessible relational database to house these data, 6) to re-analyze and summarize the collected data to reflect current knowledge of the condition of aquatic resources within each of the HTLN park service units, and 7) to make recommendations regarding future research and monitoring efforts based on the information and experience garnered from the previous steps. The first three steps reside in documents previously submitted by CPCB (Goodrich and Huggins 2003; Goodrich et al. 2004). This report represents the documentation of the latter four steps of the plan development process for this park unit.
Project Scope The intent of this report is to provide further data and analyses regarding the water quality of each HTLN park service unit beyond the published WRD Baseline Water Quality Report, where possible. In the cases where a Baseline Water Quality Report had not yet been published by WRD, an effort was made to collaborate with WRD in order to maximize data continuity. Rather than providing an exhaustive numerical and graphic summary of every parameter monitored at every station, this report focuses on three target areas of water quality in key waterbodies within the park service unit:
1) Core Elements, corresponding with the Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring program’s “Level I” water quality parameters,
2) Priority Concerns identified by HTLN as important for this park service unit, and 3) Potential Concerns as determined by comparison of historic and extant data with
attainment levels identified through the water quality standards review.

DATA COLLECTION AND HANDLING
Data Collection Existing water quality and station location data were collected for the 15 Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) park service units. Additional data beyond those available from the NPS Baseline Water Quality Inventory and Analysis Reports (Baseline Reports) were included from various federal (e.g., USGS) and state (e.g., ARDEQ) agency sources, beginning with the earliest records available in the Baseline Reports and continuing through 2001 where available. Usable records include five general types of information: where the sampling event occurred, when the sampling event occurred, what was measured, the measured value, and additional information regarding the sampling event or measurement. In order to determine long-term trends, it is essential that sampling locations and sampling dates and times be clearly recorded. Future efforts by the park unit should take special care in accurately and precisely defining station locations and relating them to specific segments of park waterbodies identified by relevant state and federal regulatory agencies.
Sources Water quality and station location data were collected from five primary sources: 1) NPS Baseline Reports, 2) USEPA’s STORET database, 3) NPS (either from the Water Resources Division, HTLN, or individual park service units), 4) state agencies (e.g., ARDEQ, MODNR), and 5) USGS’s National Water Information System. For parks with little available data, notably Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield (WICR), additional data were available from published academic studies. The older data were made available in a variety of electronic and/or hard copy formats, depending on the source. For example, data gathered by ARDEQ for several parks in Arkansas were available in relational database (MS Access 2000) files, whereas data from USGS were available for download in tab-delimited flat ASCII files, and data for WICR were provided both in written reports and multiple spreadsheet (MS Excel 2000) files.
Conversion Because water quality data came in widely varying formats from diverse sources, significant effort was required to convert data into a common format for inclusion in a relational database. Semi-automated processes were developed for converting data files where possible, but due to inconsistencies between and within files, often even those for the same location from the same agency, manual format and field name conversions were necessary. In addition, station location information had to be manually verified to avoid duplication of locations and records. Station locations were assigned to new or correlated with existing NPS Station Identification Numbers, and parameters were correlated with Parameter Codes corresponding to USEPA’s STORET database. To facilitate interpretation and summary of the results, stations were also grouped by the waterbody to which they belong (e.g., all of the stations known to be on the same creek were coded the same) and by the waterbody type (i.e., “Main Stem,” “Tributaries,” “Springs,” “Lentic
3
Waters,” or “Point Sources”). Observations were also coded for the Hydrologic Season in which they occurred, established either by the park-specific Baseline Report, or by separate hydrologic analysis.
Database Development As part of the cooperative agreement between NPS and CPCB, a relational database incorporating the collected data for this park service unit was developed in MS Access 2000 format, based on the NPS National Relational Database Template and input from HTLN. A copy of this database is provided with this report. As with any study that uses data from a wide range of sources, gathered and compiled in a wide range of formats, significant time and effort is required in the initial construction of the database. Rigorous file naming standards and metadata collection procedures are required for automation of such tasks. At this time, sufficient consistency in file format and naming conventions does not exist to automate data collection from these sources. As a general recommendation, future databases, including georeferenced databases, should be fully standardized and rigorously maintained to insure the possibility of transfer between database file formats.
Data Handling
Location Identification and Handling Correct assignment of sample locations is a particular challenge for water quality records. For database purposes, the location recorded in the field by GPS or other means is a sampling event attribute subject to a variety of errors (in GPS calibration, transcription of readings, or differences in where the reading was recorded). In older records, location data may have been taken from a map with limited spatial resolution. There can be difficulties even when location information is correct. Distinct sites that are close together may be located in the same section of a waterbody, which may or may not make them analytically unique. CPCB has established stream site grouping rules for the purposes of analysis. Summarized in Appendix A, these rules underline the importance of using GIS to validate location information. Future studies could use a similar approach for lake and reservoir sites. Site identification is a time-consuming task, but one that may become more feasible for NPS units as GIS coverages become more complete and accessible. For purposes of this project, we reviewed sites previously included in the baseline reports for each park unit. Often sites that were actually the same appeared as different, due to misspellings or other data entry errors. In other instances, sites with similar names were ambiguous due to poor or incomplete spatial information. In all cases, sample sites added from other data sources were matched with previous sites by site description or agency site codes, which were included in the data records’ “Other Names” field. After careful inspection, sites that appeared to be the same were assigned to the same location, with original site attribution retained in the database records’ “EventID” field. A related challenge is definition of the relevant water quality sample area for individual NPS units. For the baseline reports, a “study area” was defined as 3 miles upstream and
4
1 mile downstream of park boundaries. For these analyses, the same, arbitrary boundaries as those in the baseline reports were used for including additional sites. It would be preferable to base the study area on actual watershed boundaries, but that was beyond the scope of this project.
Water Quality Data Screening Once the gathered water quality data were compiled and converted into a relational database format, data screening was used to ensure data quality. Screening was executed as a layered approach (Figure 1), using multiple screens to remove data unsuitable for statistical analysis. All screens are included as select queries in the relational database. Original data, once converted to the relational database format, were termed “Raw Data” and correspond with Data Screen [ 0 ]. These data were the input for Screen [ 1 ], which was an Observation/Parameter Screen. This screen retained records based on two conditions. First, the parameter measured had to be statistically viable (e.g., a concentration as opposed to a narrative or administrative code), and secondly, that there had to be at least five observations of the parameter in the database. A list of the included parameters appears in Appendix C. The output of Screen [ 1 ] was used as the input for Screen [ 2 ], which was a Value Screen. Screen [ 2 ] compared the measured values of parameters in the data remaining after Screen [ 1 ] to pre-determined minima and maxima for the same parameters. The minima and maxima were the same as those listed in the Baseline Reports, Appendix C (“STORET Water Quality Control/Edit Checking”). The output of Screen [ 2 ] was used as the input for Screen [ 3 ], which was a Remark Screen. Screen [ 3 ] compared the accompanying Remark field to a list of statistically viable Remarks to remove composite values, estimated values, species, sex, and administrative information values, and values of known error. The results of Screen [ 3 ] were termed “Data for Analysis” and were comprised the pool of data from which all subsamples for analysis were taken. Remarks for detection limits were not removed by this screen, and detection limits were retained as their full values, rather than as half values as in the Baseline Reports. This approach, though conservative, assumes no information beyond that which is implicit in the data. Screen [ 4 ] is a quality control screen for the data excluded by Screen [ 1 ] through [ 3 ]. The individual sums of the counts of locations, parameters, and records from Screen [ 3 ] and Screen [ 4 ] should equal the counts of locations, parameters, and records from the Raw Data (Screen [ 0 ]), respectively. The periods of record may differ slightly, as included data may have been gathered over a different period of time than excluded data (and vice versa). A Data Screen Report (Table 1) for this park service unit is included to show the results of data screening.

Output for Analysis Once the “Data for Analysis” were obtained via the screening process detailed above, they were subsampled for three specific types of analysis: Core Elements Analysis, Priority Concerns Analysis, and Potential Concerns Analysis. These analyses correspond to the major analysis sections of this report. An Analysis Group Data Report (Table 2) for this park service unit is included to show the results of data subsampling. Specific information regarding the nature and methods of these analyses are provided in the relevant analysis sections of this report.
Core Elements Data For the Core Elements Analysis, data were subsampled from the “Data for Analysis” by matching parameters with indicators of the NPS defined “Level I” Water Quality Parameters identified by the Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program for “Key” waterbodies, namely alkalinity, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and flow. Rapid bioassessment baseline data were generally unavailable in sufficiently robust studies for statistical analysis. Where available, they were included. The subsampling for these Core Elements Data was accomplished via a select query, which is included in the relational database for this park service unit. The statistical software package used in the data analyses (Hintze 2004) also required the data format to be rearranged and additional fields (e.g., observation counts by station, stream codes, waterbody codes) added for analysis. These manipulations were carried out via a crosstab query and subsequent data table modifications. A copy of the output file used for analysis (“tblCoreElements_OutToNCSS”) is included in the relational database for this park service unit.
Priority Concerns Data For the Priority Concerns Analyses, data were subsampled from the “Data for Analysis” by matching parameters with indicators for the park service unit’s identified Priority Concerns (Table 6), as provided by direct correspondence with HTLN staff. Similar to the Core Elements Data, subsampling and manipulation for output to NCSS were carried out within the relational database, and a copy of the output file used for analysis (“tblPrimaryConcerns_OutToNCSS”) is included therein.
Potential Concerns Data Unlike the previous analyses, the Potential Concerns Analysis was performed using the relational database software and a spreadsheet. A 2nd Remark Screen was applied to the “Data for Analysis” (Figure 1), to remove all data with remark codes. This was necessary since minimum-reporting limits of certain constituents (e.g., total cadmium) either changed within the period of record or were already above the maximum recommended criterion for those constituents. Once all remarks were removed, including reporting limits, the resulting data were compared with published and developing regional criterion values (USEPA 2004a, b; Huggins 2005) to determine the number and percentage of exceedances of these criteria. The results of these manipulations are included in the relational database for this park service unit (“tblEPACriteriaScreen” and “tblEPACriteriaScreen_HardDep”).

1 Data screens represent the steps for screening data depicted in Figure 1. Screen [ 1 ] screens data for statistically viable parameters with at least 5 observations. Screen [ 2 ] screens data for values within a reasonable range. Screen [ 3 ] screens data for remarks that indicate bad or statistically nonviable observations. Screens [ 1 ] through [ 3 ] are cumulative (i.e. Screen [ 1 ] is used on Raw data, Screen [ 2 ] is used on results of Screen [ 1 ], Screen [ 3 ] is used on results of Screen [ 2 ]). Screen [ 4 ] is for error checking. Values for Raw Data minus those for Screen [ 3 ] should equal Screen [ 4 ]. Please see the data handling and analysis sections of this report for more information on screening and analysis. Table 2. Analysis Group Data Report.

Statistical Analysis and Methodology The statistical analyses for this report were performed using NCSS-PASS statistical software for Windows, developed by Dr. Jerry L. Hintze (Hintze 2004). This software provides a robust platform both for rigorous statistical analyses of flat data files (e.g., dbf files, MS Access data tables, MS Excel spreadsheets, etc.) and extensive visualization capabilities. The development of the specific data files used in each analysis type is described in detail in the Data Handling section of this report. Graphical techniques are uniquely suited to applications in monitoring and management, since they can convey large amounts of significant information and place that information into a concise, relative context. Four graphical methods for data analysis and visualization were used in this project: box plots, violin plots, error bar charts, and scatter plots. For future, more detailed studies of water quality constituents, other statistical techniques may be more appropriate. Where relevant data were either unavailable or too sparse to represent in a meaningful way using these techniques, one of two specific notations were used. The note “NO DATA” indicates that no observations were made for the given category of data. The note “INSUFFICIENT DATA” indicates that only 1 to 4 observations were made for the given category of data (at least 5 data points are required to produce meaningful statistical graphics). In both cases, these notes were added to help identify areas where additional data collection may be appropriate.
Box Plots Box plots of various parameters were produced to analyze and make multiple comparisons between the distributions of parameters between locations. Originally developed by John Tukey (Tukey 1977), box plots have a long history of use by many scientific disciplines (e.g., hydrologists), but ecologists, fisheries biologists, and others interested in environmental assessment and monitoring have only begun to use this powerful graphic technique relatively recently (Karr et al. 1986; Larsen et al. 1986; Plafkin et al. 1989; Ohio EPA 1990; USEPA 1996). In addition to the usual advantages of graphic techniques, box plots provide a concise visual representation of the central tendency and dispersion of the data distribution. Box plots integrate visual effectiveness with numerical information to provide an excellent overview of the data. From a box plot, it is possible to identify many features of the data distribution of a particular variable, including location, spread, skewness, tail length, and outlying data points (Chambers et al. 1983; Hoaglin et al. 1993). Box plots can be calculated to include a number of different positional measures, but typically include the median. In this report, the box plots are configured such that quartiles partition the distribution into four equal parts (Figure 2a). Thus, the box (rectangle) is divided by the median (a line). The top and bottom of the box represent the 75th (upper quartile) and 25th (lower quartile) percentiles, respectively. The length of the box is the interquartile range (IQR), a popular measure of spread. That is, the box represents the middle 50 percent of the data. The box plots in this report also display lines that extend from each end of the box. These lines are often referred to as
9
“whiskers.” The upper and lower ends of these lines indicate the position of the upper and lower adjacent values. These values represent the largest (upper) and smallest (lower) observation that is either less than or equal to the 75th percentile plus 1.5 times the IQR (upper value), or is greater than or equal to the 25th percentile minus 1.5 times the IQR (lower value). Values outside the upper and lower adjacent values are termed “outside” values or “Mild Outliers,” and are represented by green dots. Values outside three IQR’s are termed “Severe Outliers” and are represented as red dots. Box plots are often used for comparing the distribution of several batches of data (e.g., dissolved oxygen for location one versus location two), since they summarize the center and spread of the data. When making strict comparisons among medians from different batches of data (i.e., different locations), a modified box plot called a “notched box plot” is useful. These notches are constructed using the formula: median ± 1.57(IQR / √n), where 1.57 is selected for the 95% level of significance. Therefore, if the notches of two boxes do not overlap, it may be assumed that the medians are significantly different from each other. However, when making multiple comparisons, the notched box plots do not make any adjustment for the multiplicity of tests being conducted. Despite this shortcoming, notched box plots provide a simple, straightforward, and powerful assessment approach. For example, they can help determine if individual locations are members of least impacted reference populations, or if not members, then how far the locations deviate from that reference. Future studies of greater detail should use more formal tests (e.g., t-tests, ANOVA) based on specific study designs to determine whether two or more populations have different mean values for a given parameter. For general assessment of locations on a park unit scale, though, notched box plots provide excellent and easily accessible information.
Violin Plots Many modifications build on Tukey's original box plot. A proposed further adaptation, the violin plot (Figure 2b), pools the best statistical features of alternative graphical representations of batches of data (Hintze and Nelson 1998). It adds the information available from local density estimates to the basic summary statistics inherent in box plots. This marriage of summary statistics and density shape into a single plot provides a useful tool for data analysis and exploration. A violin plot is a combination of a box plot and a kernel density plot. Specifically, it starts with a box plot. It then adds a rotated kernel density plot to each side of the box plot. A kernel density plot can be considered a refinement of a histogram or frequency plot in which individual bin or bar heights are joined by a line plotted using a data “smoothing” technique. In NCSS, the statistical software program used to create violin plots for this report, the violin plots are made by combining a form of box plot with two vertical density traces (frequency distributions). One density trace extends to the left while the other extends to the right. The two density traces are both added to the plot to create symmetry, which makes it easier to compare batches. The violin plot highlights the peaks and valleys of a variable's distribution. The box plots within the density traces were modified slightly by showing the median as a circle and the upper quartile and lower quartile boxes as thickened lines. The upper and lower adjacent values are indicated by the endpoints of thinner lines. Through comparison of this plot with the box plot and frequency
10
distribution of the same data, it becomes apparent that although the box plot is useful in a lot of situations, it does not represent data that are clustered (multimodal). On the other hand, although the frequency distribution shows the distribution of the data, it is hard to see the mean and spread. The obvious answer to these shortcomings is to combine the two plots. Comparison of the medians, the box lengths (the spread), and the distributional patterns in the data becomes much easier using violin plots.
Error Bar Plots Error bar plots are a graphical technique for condensing discrete ranges of data values into successive categories in order to display potential trends between those categories (Hintze 2004). Error bar plots are a good analytical tool for identification of potential trends in time-series data, because they condense a range of data values from a discrete time period into means for each category of data. In other words, they show a mean value of the given parameter for each time period. They also add error bars to indicate the standard error associated with the calculated mean for each category (Figure 2c). For example, the error bar plots in this report group data by year for a particular parameter, say dissolved oxygen, by waterbody type (main stem, tributary, or spring) and hydrologic season. Then, a mean value for the parameter for each year is produced for each waterbody type and hydrologic season. Error bars are added to the mean to indicate the standard error associated for each calculated annual mean. In addition, the means for each hydrologic season are joined by lines to aid in the general visualization of year-to-year changes. This technique is the first step in identification of both annual trends and areas in which better temporal or sampling resolution may be required to identify any trends. Once potential trends are identified by the error bar plot, further and more formal characterization of those trends may be done using scatter plots and regression analysis.
Scatter Plots Scatter plots are one of the most commonly employed techniques for visualizing the relationships between two variables (Figure 2d). More extensive descriptions of these plots and their properties are available (Chambers et al. 1983; Tabachnick and Fidell 1996). For a given set of paired data points, for example dissolved oxygen concentration and the date of sampling, one value (e.g. dissolved oxygen concentration) is plotted against the other (e.g. date). Typically, two types of relationships become evident in scatter plots: dependent relationships, where the value of one variable depends directly on the other, or correlative relationships, where the value of each variable is related to the other indirectly. However, there may not be any relationship between the variables at all. One of the strengths of the scatter plot is that each paired data point is included, giving a full picture of the spread and distribution of the data. Without extensive prior knowledge of the variables under examination, a potentially correlative relationship, rather than a direct dependence, is generally assumed. This is especially the case in the examination of isolated water quality variables in complex natural systems. By convention, the independent or causal variable is plotted on the abscissa (x-axis) and the dependent or response variable is plotted on the ordinate (y-axis). For the scatter plots in this report, the independent variable is typically the date of the sampling event. Various statistical techniques of regression and smoothing are available to quantify the relatedness of the two variables. The technique used in this report is a simple linear
11
regression of the ordinate on the abscissa (y on x). This linear regression produces a trend line that describes the nature of the relationship between the variables. The line has a positive slope if an increase in one variable correlates with an increase in the other and a negative slope if an increase in one variable correlates with a decrease in the other. The extent of this correlation is described by a correlation coefficient ranging in value from +1 (perfect positive correlation) to 0 (no correlation) to –1 (perfect negative correlation). The scatter plots in this report are used primarily to illustrate potential trends of specific parameters in different hydrologic seasons through different time periods. This is achieved by plotting the parameters versus time, while changing the symbols for observations in different hydrologic seasons (i.e. using a square or a triangle instead of a circle to mark the point). Often, it is apparent from the scatter plot that data have been collected at different rates through time (many points in one time period, few in another) or that the available data are too few or too widely spaced to provide useful information in regards to annual trends.

PARK SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Background Information and Designated Uses Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (CUVA), now Cuyahoga Valley National Park, encompasses approximately 33,000 acres along the banks of the Cuyahoga River in northern Ohio, just upstream from Lake Erie. Officially established as the nation’s 57th national park in 2000, CUVA has a long history of conservation both at the federal and state level. The primary resources of the park are the aquatic resources of the Cuyahoga River and its tributaries, coupled with the surrounding riparian and woodlands. Waters within the park have several designated uses (Table 3), which correspond to specific standards and criteria as outlined in previous reports within this cooperative agreement (Goodrich and Huggins 2003; Goodrich et al. 2004). Typical uses of the park’s resources include boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, bird watching, golfing, horseback riding and camping. Table 3. Waterbodies and their designated uses for this park service unit. Waterbody Designated Uses Cuyahoga River Warmwater Habitat Agricultural Water Supply Industrial Water Supply Primary Contact Recreation State Resource Water For the purposes of this report, the hydrologic seasons for CUVA (Table 4) were defined the same as those previously developed for the park service unit’s Baseline Report (National Park Service 1995).

WATER QUALITY CONCERNS ANALYSIS
Analytical Background for Cuyahoga Valley National Park A series of core water quality parameters was examined for each park service unit. These parameters included total alkalinity, pH, specific conductance (conductivity), dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and flow (discharge). In those instances where five or more values of a parameter were taken at a site or for a waterbody type, several graphical methods were used to analyze the data. An explanation of these analytical graphing techniques and their uses is provided in the Overview Section of this report. These graphical methods (e.g. box plots, error bar plots) were used to help determine if there were any deviations from expected conditions and to identify potential areas of concern. First, the data were compared for the three waterbody types with data suitable for analysis – main stems, tributaries, and point sources. Second, the data were compared for three hydrological seasons (hydroperiods) – low or normal flow conditions, periods of generally ascending flow, and periods of peak and descending flow. Within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA), the low or normal flow period was defined as occurring between July 1 and October 31, the ascending flow period from November 1 to March 14, and the descending flow from March 15 to June 30 (National Park Service 1995). Finally, the data were analyzed over time to assess temporal trends. However, the variability in data collection through time and space for nearly all variables precluded the use of any statistical time-trend analysis. Discharge records at some collection stations were complete enough that some robust trend analysis might be possible. In general, yearly data collections varied in density and sometimes quality, often exhibiting temporal trends that highlight changes in minimum detection or reporting limits for some of the water quality constituents. Because these analyses are conducted on data collected and analyzed by different organizations and laboratories, special attention must be given in interpreting some of the graphs and raw data. Several core parameters were identified by the NPS as important water quality variables that should be collected and assessed by virtually all parks. Three of these common water quality constituents display a high degree of natural variability in time as well as space. Dissolved oxygen, pH, and water temperature levels vary naturally within differing time scales (e.g. hourly, daily, monthly) due to a number of site-specific to watershed- and regional-scale factors including but not limited to primary production, community respiration, instream and near stream habitat, climate, topography and altitude. In order to minimize or account for sources of natural variation in these and other environmental and water quality factors of interest, the timing and frequency of sample collections must be systematic. This is seldom the situation when large, disparate datasets are joined for posteriori analyses. Thus, care must be taken in interpreting the data and assessing possible causal factors related to observed changes. Core factors must be collected in a uniform manner and within regular temporal and spatial frameworks appropriate to the NPS facility and its surrounding landscape (e.g. ecoregion, watershed, hydroperiod). Alkalinity is a measure of the buffering capacity of water, or the capacity of bases to neutralize acids. Measuring alkalinity is important in determining a stream's ability to
23
neutralize acidic pollution from rainfall or wastewater. Alkalinity does not refer to pH, but instead refers to the ability of water to resist changes in pH. Alkalinity is generally a problem more common in lakes and reservoirs than streams. The most common cause of alkalinity in surface waters is eutrophication that, although a natural process, is accelerated by nutrient pollution and organic enrichment. Because alkalinity varies greatly due to differences in geology, there are no general standards for alkalinity. However, total alkalinity levels of 100-200 mg/L provide for high buffering capacities in streams and thus act to stabilize the pH level in streams. Levels below 10 mg/L indicate that the aquatic ecosystem is poorly buffered, and is very susceptible to changes in pH from natural and human-caused sources. The USEPA pH criteria for freshwater are the value range from 6.5 to 9 pH units. However, this range does not take into account some aquatic waterbody types that are naturally acidic, such as fens and bogs. Specific conductance is a measure of how well water can conduct an electrical current. Conductivity increases with increasing concentrations and mobility of cations and anions found in the water. These ions, which come from the breakdown of compounds, conduct electricity because they are negatively or positively charged when dissolved in water. Therefore, conductivity is an indirect measure of the presence of dissolved solids such as chloride, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and iron, and can be used as an indicator of water pollution. The state of Ohio’s water quality standard for dissolved oxygen (DO) for all but modified warmwater habitats in the Huron/Erie lake plains ecoregion, including surface waters associated with CUVA, is 5.0 mg/L. This state DO standard is the same as the national standard of 5.0 mg/L supported by USEPA. Some states having cold-water ecosystems that support salmonid fisheries and other cold-water communities often have more stringent dissolved oxygen criteria and standards. The water temperature criteria for surface waters of CUVA are the same as those imposed on all waterbodies that occur within the general Lake Erie basin, except for Lake Erie itself. The criteria are actually a series of average and daily maximum values calculated 18 individual time periods within a calendar year (see CUVA review in Goodrich and Huggins 2003). Application of these temperature criteria would demand that each temperature observation in the CUVA database be compared to the respective criteria limit associated with the appropriate time period in which the data were collected. Because of the summary nature of this report, individual station temperatures (daily values) were not compared to criteria established for each separate time period. Rather, the reader is referred to either to Table 8 of section N-10 in Goodrich and Huggins (2003) or the relevant section of Chapter 3745 in the Ohio Administrative Code (Ohio EPA 2002) to make detailed comparisons. Of these criteria, the highest daily maximum temperature limit listed was 29.4 degrees centigrade, which applies to four consecutive time periods beginning on June 16 and ending September 15. This value was used for discussion purposes, since it represents the overall maximum allowable water temperature for all waterbodies. Like DO values, water temperatures associated with many stream and small lake ecosystems can vary greatly during a single day, as well as show the seasonal changes associated with solar radiation and other climate factors.

Assessment of Core Factors In nearly all cases, the observed ranges of the six core water quality parameters were within acceptable ranges for flowing water systems located in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Based on the available data, no major areas of concern regarding core factors for this park were identified. The one possible exception was dissolved oxygen that occasionally showed levels below 5.0 mg/L, a state of Ohio minimum for the protection of aquatic life. These lower dissolved oxygen values occurred principally during low to normal flows (hydroperiod 1). The vast majority of stations had median concentrations for dissolved oxygen above the Ohio criterion level of 5.0 mg/L. However, one main stem station, one point source station, and several tributary stations, including stations on Brandywine, Creek, Little Cuyahoga River, and Ohio Canal, had median values that were below the Ohio criterion limit for DO. Total alkalinity concentrations ranged from about 75 to just over 220 mg/L CaCO3 for the main stem of the Cuyahoga River associated with CUVA (Figure 4). This range was the largest observed for total alkalinity for all waterbodies in the study area. Alkalinity levels for most tributaries and the point source stations tended to occur between 100 and 200 mg/L CaCO3 (Figure 4 – Figure 7). The lowest observed median value for any station was for an unnamed tributary (CUVA0107) and was approximately 40 mg/L CaCO3. Low alkalinity values were also seen in Dickerson Run (CUVA0109). Alkalinity values were highest in the summer and fall during normal flows (hydroperiod 1), with median values occurring between 125 and 175 mg/L CaCO3. Median values for hydroperiods 2 and 3 ranged from about 100 to 138 mg/L CaCO3 (Figure 8). While yearly trends in total alkalinity values were not apparent, beginning in the 1980s there appeared to be a slight but inconsistent increase in total alkalinity values for the tributaries during hydrologic seasons 1 and 3 (Figure 9). Overall, the streams within the CUVA system appear to be sufficiently buffered and thus resistant to alterations in the natural pH and pH flux associated with these systems. The range in pH concentrations for main stem stations was somewhat variable, but median station values remained between 7.5 and 8.5, with point source sites (especially CUVA0228) having somewhat lower median values (Figure 10). Stations CUVA0053, CUVA0202, and CUVA0228 had some of the lowest pH values observed in this assessment, but these low levels were extremely rare. Median concentrations for most tributary stations also fell between 7.5 and 8.5 (Figure 11 – Figure 13). Deer Lick Run had a median value of about 8.5, while the pH value of the upper quartile (75th percentile) was 9.0. Single stations each on Tinkers Creek, Mud Brook, and Ohio Canal, as well as stations CUVA0105 and CUVA0214, all had median concentrations between 7.0 and 7.5. Very little variation in the median values for tributary, point source, and main stem stations was observed in the violin plots grouped by hydroperiod, suggesting that all sites were well buffered with limited responses to changes in flow (Figure 14). During hydroperiods 1 and 2 in all waterbody types, some pH values were observed to drop to below the lower pH criterion level of 6.5. Error bar plots of pH values collected over about 40 years suggested that main stem pH values might have increased over time (Figure 15). However, no data trends were noted for tributaries, and insufficient data prevented meaningful interpretation of point source trends.
25
Median specific conductance values for Cuyahoga River stations ranged from a low of just under 600 umhos/cm to a high of about 900 umhos/cm, with one station (CUVA0088) having an upper quartile level of over 1000 umhos/cm (Figure 16). Point source specific conductance levels were fairly uniform, and most stations had median concentrations of about 600 to 700 umhos/cm. The median values for stations on Tinkers Creek, Deer Lick Run, Chippewa Creek, Brandywine Creek, and Ohio Canal generally varied from 800 to 1000 umhos/cm, while the median values for Yellow Creek and Little Cuyahoga River ranged between 300 and 800 umhos/cm (Figure 17 – Figure 19). The median concentrations for conductivity for most other tributary station fell within the 300 to 800 umhos/cm range. The exceptions were stations CUVA0102, CUVA0104, and CUVA130a, all of which had median concentrations above 1200 umhos/cm. There was little difference among waterbody types in hydroperiods 1 and 3 (spring through fall), but in the winter or ascending flow period (hydroperiod 2) the point source concentrations dropped to the 200 to 300 umhos/cm range (Figure 20). There were no observable trends in specific conductance levels in any of the waterbody types within the approximate 40-year period of record (Figure 21). Median dissolved oxygen levels were above 5.0 mg/L for all main stem stations except CUVA0149 (Figure 22). This main stem station and one point source station (CUVA0190) had median station values of about 4.0 mg/L. Dissolved oxygen levels in Tinkers Creek, Deer Lick Run, Chippewa Creek, and Yellow Creek were well above the criteria level of 5 mg/L and typically had median values of over 7 mg/L, except at a single station on Tinkers Creek (CUVA0182) (Figure 23, Figure 24). Mud Creek had a median DO value of about 8 mg/L, but the lower quartile (25th percentile) level was very low, approaching hypoxic conditions (Figure 24. Several other tributaries had stations with median concentrations below the criterion value of 5 mg/L (Figure 25). About 13% (2 in 16) of the stations on Little Cuyahoga River, and 38% (3 in 8) to 40% (4 in 10) of the stations on Brandywine Creek and Ohio Canal, respectively, had median values below the 5.0 mg/L limit. Median DO concentrations were above the DO criteria during all hydroperiods, with the high median values occurring in hydroperiod 2 (Figure 26). Dissolved oxygen levels in hydrologic seasons 1 and 3 (i.e. most of the spring, summer, and fall) displayed lower median values (about 8 mg/L) than the median value associated with hydroperiod 2 (winter), which was at or above 11 mg/L (Figure 26). Low DO levels occurred within some main stem and tributary stations during all hydroperiods. Dissolved oxygen levels for point sources typically dropped to their lowest values during hydroperiod 2 (winter). No obvious time trends could be determined in the error bar charts for dissolved oxygen, other than a slight apparent increase in DO levels in the Cuyahoga River over time (Figure 27). However, observation of this trend is speculative. Median water temperature values for main stem stations varied from a low of about 15 (CUVA0052) to a high of 24 (CUVA0057) degrees centigrade (Figure 28). The median values between stations within several individual tributaries (e.g. Brandywine Creek, Little Cuyahoga River, and Ohio Canal) were noted to vary over a large range (7 to 18 degrees), with some stations having median values as low as 5 degrees centigrade and others as high as 23 degrees centigrade (Figure 29 – Figure 31). The causes of some of the noted difference in temperature regimes can only be speculated, but one factor might be biased collecting efforts. Three main stem stations (CUVA0052, CUVA0063, and CUVA0202) had some stream temperature values above 30 degrees centigrade (Figure
26
28). In general, however, most stations had temperatures below 29.4 degrees centigrade, which is the overall maximum temperature allowed by the state of Ohio for the protection of aquatic life. Except during hydroperiod 2 (winter), the tributaries tended to be somewhat cooler than both point sources and the Cuyahoga River (Figure 32). The violin plots of stream temperatures for each waterbody type by hydroperiod (Figure 32) suggested that the distribution of values was, in most cases, fairly normally distributed around the median values, with the exception of point sources, which often showed a bimodal distribution of values. This distribution indicates that the point sources stations constitute two different temperature groups (also shown in Figure 28). The spread in median values between waterbody types was greatest during the spring or descending flow period (hydroperiod 3), when the main stem was warmer than the tributaries. A slight downward trend in summer and fall temperatures (hydroperiod 1) was noted for both the main stem and tributaries (Figure 33). No trend was noted in waterbody types for the other hydroperiods and little temperature data were available for point sources. Long-term flow data were available for only two main stem stations, two sites each on Tinkers Creek and Little Cuyahoga River, and one station on both Ohio Canal and the Springfield Lake outlet (CUVA0010) (Figure 34 – Figure 37). Median values for the mean daily discharge for the upper and lower sites on the Cuyahoga River were approximately 300 and 800 cfs, respectively. Flow differences between stations within Tinkers Creek were negligible (Figure 35), while medians for mean daily flows in Little Cuyahoga River varied by about 10 cfs (Figure 37). The calculated median value for mean daily flows for the Cuyahoga River varied from a low of approximately 300 cfs in hydroperiod 1 to a high of just over 1000 cfs in hydroseason 3. This same pattern of seasonal variability was also observed for the tributaries, but flow values were about an order of magnitude less (i.e. 30 cfs in hydroperiod 1). Based on mean daily flow records for the Cuyahoga River from 1959 through 1989, flows in all hydroperiods appear to have decreased, especially for winter flows (Figure 39). Conversely, mean flows for tributaries appear to have increased over time; however, the period of record was much shorter for these waterbodies (14- verses 30-year span). No explanation for these observations is readily discernible, other than the possibility that the data may not represent true trends.
Assessment of Priority Concerns The priority variables associated with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, in order of importance, are habitat in rivers and streams, stream pathogens, wetland amphibians, nutrient loading and cycling in wetlands, non-metal toxicity in rivers and streams, macroinvertebrates in rivers and streams, core elements for rivers and streams, nutrient loading in streams and rivers, water levels/discharge, fish, metal contamination, core elements for wetlands, sediment and stream water toxicity, fluvial geomorphology and water clarity (Table 6). Discharge (i.e. daily flows) and other core elements are discussed in the core element section above. Of the remaining priority concerns, data were available to characterize stream pathogens, and some non-metal and metal toxic contaminants in the Cuyahoga River and some of its tributaries. Core elements data for streams and rivers, as well as some nutrient data, were also available. Water clarity (i.e. turbidity) as a concern was grouped within the non-metal toxics section, rather than
27
assigning it a new section. Stream toxicity is addressed in the context of the metal and non-metal contaminants found in water, but no sediment toxicity data were found for those portions of streams and rivers associated with the park. In general, CUVA concerns were addressed when relevant parameter measures were both available and of sufficient data quality to be used in analyses and discussions (see Table 6).
Assessment of Water Clarity and Pathogens Violin plots of turbidity for both the Cuyahoga River and tributaries associated with CUVA indicated that median turbidity values during all hydrologic seasons (Figure 40) were at or below a regional benchmark of 10.4 NTU (see Table 8 for benchmark information). Typically, during hydroperiods 3 and 1 (spring through fall) most upper quartile (75th percentile) values were above the 10.4 NTU benchmark level for both main stem and tributary stations, with upper values ranging from 20 to 40 NTU. The main stem stations of the Cuyahoga were generally more turbid than tributaries during hydroperiod 2 (winter). No obvious time trends were observed in the turbidity data except for a 6-year jump (1998-2003) in main stem values for all hydroperiods (Figure 41). Distributional analysis of colony count data for Escheria coli from both laboratory-cultured samples and in situ counts were examined to assess spatial and temporal occurrences of this bacterium in waters associated with CUVA. Data from laboratory-cultured samples indicated that during hydroperiod 2, the vast majority of both main stem and tributary samples had E. coli counts above both Ohio primary contact criteria (126/100 mL and not to exceed 298/100 mL in 10% of samples) in the main stem and tributaries (Figure 42). In hydroperiods 1 and 3 the median values for E. coli counts (lab cultured data) from the main stem stations again exceeded both Ohio criteria, but median and lower quartile (25th percentile) values for tributary samples were below one or both criteria levels. E. coli data from in situ cultures in the main stem and tributaries were also compared to lab-cultured values. In situ data were limited, but indicated that E. coli levels in both main stem and tributary samples taken during hydroperiod 1 were higher than both Ohio criteria, as were main stem levels for hydroperiod 3 (Figure 44). E. coli counts based on data obtained using the in situ culture method appeared to be consistently higher than counts from lab-cultured samples during the same hydroperiods for all waterbody groups (Figure 42, Figure 44). As an example, the median count for main stem stations sampled during hydroperiod 1 was approximately 800/100 mL for lab-cultured data, while the in situ median count was 10,000/100 mL. These comparisons indicated that the historic measures of E. coli using standard lab culturing methods could be underestimating environmental levels of E. coli. No trends in E. coli counts were found within the yearly data sets for either lab-cultured or in situ samples (Figure 43, Figure 45). Distribution and median values for fecal coliform bacteria displayed similar abundance patterns for all waterbody types, both within and between hydroperiods (Figure 46). Further, in all hydroperiods main stem values tended to be higher than point source values, which were in turn higher than tributary levels. The highest median levels for fecal coliforms were in the winter (hydroperiod 2), while median values for both the main
28
stem and point sources fell between the two Ohio standards for primary contact recreation (1000/100 mL and not to exceed 2000/100 mL in 10% of samples) during both hydroperiods 2 and 3. Except during hydroperiod 2, the majority of values of fecal coliforms for tributary samples were below both criteria for this bacterial group. However, most of the upper quartile (75th percentile) values for all waterbodies were found to exceed the most stringent criteria level of 1000/100 mL in the winter (hydroperiod 2). Additional research has confirmed that fecal coliform numbers continue to exceed the 1000/100 mL primary contact recreation criterion between Akron and Cleveland when stream flow is elevated due to rain runoff (Ohio EPA 1999). The majority of main stem stations included in this analysis (e.g.CUVA0202, CUVA0146, CUVA0086) are located within this portion of the Cuyahoga River. A similar finding was reported by the US Geological Survey in an extensive bacteriological survey of the lower Cuyahoga River (Francy et al. 1993). This study concluded that the most significant source of fecal coliform bacteria was from multiple bypasses of the secondary treatment process at the Akron WWTP. Error bar plots of fecal coliform counts for both tributary and main stem groups (Figure 47) showed that in the mid- to late- 1970s, fecal coliform levels were somewhat higher than in other years. A possible second pulse may have also occurred in the early 1990s within the main stem of the Cuyahoga River. Violin plots of total coliform bacteria counts for both main stem and tributary stations show that counts seldom exceeded Ohio’s maximum criterion value of 5000/100 mL for primary contact (Figure 48). Median values for samples collected in hydroperiods 1 and 3 indicated that main stem levels were higher than point source levels, but this pattern was reversed during hydroperiod 2 (winter). Winter samples for E. coli, fecal coliforms and total coliforms were always higher than corresponding levels for other hydroseasons. Meaningful, multi-year trends in total coliforms were indiscernible, as only one to two years of data could be plotted (Figure 49).
Assessment of Nutrient Loading and Non-Metal Toxicity The USEPA is currently supporting the development of numeric criteria for nutrients for each state. Regional Technical Assistance Groups (RTAGs) supported by USEPA regional offices are facilitating the development of “regional” nutrient criteria. These RTAGs provide the scientific expertise to assess regional data and eutrophic conditions, which can be useful to the states in adopting and developing individual state criteria. While few states have numeric criteria for either total nitrogen (TN) or total phosphorus (TP), the state of Ohio has recommended a summer limit of 1000 µg/L (1 mg/L) of TP for the lower Cuyahoga River as part of the final recommendations for the Lower Cuyahoga River TMDL (Ohio EPA 2003). No suggested concentration limits for TN for rivers and streams in Ohio were found in the literature. Because there are few numeric criteria in use in regulatory organizations that might oversee Heartland facilities, benchmark values for TN and TP, which are currently under consideration by the USEPA Region 7 RTAG, were used for evaluation purposes. These TN and TP benchmark values are the means of TN and TP values taken from the literature or derived statistically as ranges of values both considered protective and associated with reference or “high quality” streams. A summary of values and sources are listed in Table 8, representing current efforts within the USEPA Region 7 RTAG.

Table 8. Potential benchmark values for nutrient stressors and other associated variables derived using multiple approaches.
1 (Dodds et al. 1998) These values are for streams in the mesotrophic range. 2 (USEPA 2000d, a, b, c, 2001a, b, c). 3 Tri-section values are for upper one-third streams in USEPA Region 7 having highest
total richness for macroinvertebrates. For all hydrologic seasons, median levels for total nitrogen for tributaries were above a suggested benchmark value of 1.03 mg/L (Figure 50). TN levels were highest in hydroperiod 1 and similar, but lower in hydroperiods 2 and 3. The median TN values were between 3 and 6 mg/L for all waterbody types in all hydroperiods. Yearly trends in TN suggested that a steady decrease in concentrations within tributaries might be occurring, but no trends or patterns were observed in point source or main stem categories (Figure 51). The median values for total phosphorus were well above the regional benchmark value of 68 µg/L (0.068 mg/L), but below the Ohio standard and TMDL-recommended limit of 1000 µg/L (1 mg/L) (Figure 52). Both main stem and point source levels of TP were highest in hydroperiod 1 and lowest in hydroperiod 2, while tributary levels were highest in the winter (hydroperiod 2, the ascending flow period). Also, the highest median values for TP were associated with the Cuyahoga River and point sources, except during the hydroperiod 2, when the tributary median value reached almost 0.5 mg/L. Error bar plots of TP data for each waterbody type (Figure 53) clearly suggest that TP concentrations have been in decline since the early 1980s in the main stem of the lower Cuyahoga River and its tributaries, however no significance test was performed. Suitable data were too few to evaluate trends for point sources.
30
It is clear from these data that both TP and TN are present in all waterbodies at levels in excess of concentrations suspected as limiting for plant growth in lotic ecosystems, and that these excess levels may constitute significant water quality issues. Ohio EPA has also indicated that excessive nutrients are a primary cause of impairment in the lower Cuyahoga River basin (Ohio EPA 2003, 2006). Median levels of total arsenic (a metalloid) were well above the USEPA human health water-organism criterion value of 0.018 µg/L in all waterbody types in all hydroperiods, but were also below the Ohio agricultural use criterion (100 µg/L) for this element (Figure 54). Total arsenic levels were noticeably higher in tributaries during hydroperiod 2, but levels of arsenic were otherwise similar among waterbody types. Total arsenic concentrations appear to have dropped in tributaries beginning in the 1980s (Figure 55). Limited yearly data for the main stem and point sources prevented development of meaningful trends, except for hydroperiod 1. Further trend interpretation is therefore extremely speculative.
Assessment of Metals with Hardness-Independent Toxicity Of the metals whose aquatic life toxicity is unaffected by hardness, few had literature values for chronic aquatic life criteria. Total aluminum values appeared to be high throughout CUVA (Figure 56). Violin plots for the lower Cuyahoga River, its point sources, and its tributaries showed median values above the national freshwater criterion chronic concentration (87 µg/L) for the protection of aquatic life. However, it is noted that this standard was proposed based primarily on information from a single study on striped bass in waters having a pH of 6.5 to 6.6 and a total hardness of less than 10 mg/L. Aluminum is considered a non-priority pollutant by USEPA (USEPA 2004b). Nevertheless, total aluminum levels are high in all waterbodies and at all times of the year, and are typically highest in both hydrologic season 2 and in the tributaries as a group. Data for temporal distributions of total aluminum values by year was incomplete for tributaries and point sources, and main stem data did not show any discernible trends in yearly aluminum levels (Figure 57). Data for total manganese was limited to the main stem and tributaries, with yearly measures available for the main stem dating back to the 1960s (Figure 58, Figure 59). The single criterion for manganese (50 µg/L) is a national criterion for the protection of human health (USEPA 2004b). Median values for manganese for all waterbody types during all hydrologic seasons were about twice this human health criterion level. Generally, total manganese levels were similar between main stem and tributary groups and were only slightly elevated during the winter months (hydroperiod 2), when compared to other hydroperiod values. No clear trends were observed in manganese levels either in the Cuyahoga or its tributaries (Figure 59). Total mercury data were sufficient to produce violin plots for all hydrologic seasons fro both the main stem and the tributaries of the Cuyahoga River (Figure 60). USEPA’s aquatic life freshwater criterion chronic concentration and Ohio’s aquatic life outside mixing zone average criterion for total mercury are both 0.91 µg/L, and nearly all plottable data were below this value. Median values for total mercury were typically
31
about 0.5 µg/L for all hydrologic seasons and all waterbody groups. Based on the error bar plot, it appears main stem total mercury concentrations have been reduced since the 1970s (Figure 61). Similarly, tributary values may have also been reduced since the 1980s. However, differing analytical methods and corresponding detection limits may influence these plots.
Assessment of Metals with Hardness-Dependent Toxicity Seven metals having hardness-dependant toxicities (cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, selenium, silver and zinc) were observed at both main stem and tributary stations. Total cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel and zinc were also measured in point sources. Violin plots were constructed for each of these metals and any appropriate criterion value(s) included. Criteria for the protection of aquatic life were typically relevant. Since toxicity of these metals is dependent upon hardness, criterion values are adjusted using standard equations (Ohio EPA 2002, 2003; USEPA 2004b) to account for ambient total hardness values (as CaCO3). In general, these metals are more toxic in waters with lower hardness values. Since concurrent hardness observations were not made with observations of many metals, a representative hardness value for each waterbody type was developed for analytical purposes. This representative value, based on the mean of available total hardness (as CaCO3) observations within the park study area, was chosen as 200 mg/L (as CaCO3) for all three waterbody types (i.e. main stem, tributaries, and point sources). Though each stream tends to have its own characteristic hardness based on geology, runoff, etc., this value was considered generally applicable to all waters within the park study area. Therefore, all criterion values for metals with hardness-dependent toxicity used in this report were calculated for this representative value. Total cadmium values were plotted against both the Ohio and federal criteria for protection of aquatic life (Figure 62). These criteria differ in value by about one order of magnitude, with the federal criterion chronic concentration being more restrictive. Median total cadmium concentrations for all waterbody groups were lower than the more restrictive USEPA criterion during hydroperiod 1, while tributary median values during hydroperiods 2 and 3 fell between the state and federal criteria. In general, it appears that total cadmium concentrations are seldom a problem within the main stem, but may be problematic in the tributaries. The apparent decrease of cadmium levels over time may be an artifact of reporting limits and improved detection limits, as the data appears to be somewhat monotonic in nature (Figure 63). Medians of reported values for total chromium for both the main stem and tributary stations were both well below the state and federal hardness-based criteria (Figure 64). The majority of chromium values at tributary stations appeared to meet the criteria for total chromium during all hydrologic seasons. Median concentration for this metal varied between 20 and 30 µg/L for all waterbody groups, depending on hydroperiod. In general, chromium does not appear to be a problem in these systems. The error bar plot for the main stem stations appears to be affected by a detection or reporting limit, as nearly all values recorded after 1982 are 30 µg/L (Figure 65). Yearly data for the tributaries show a decrease in chromium levels, and the plot did not suggest a detection or reporting limit restriction.
32
Median values for total lead in the Cuyahoga River and tributaries were below one or both of the calculated total lead criteria (Figure 66). Median values for point sources and tributary stations were highest during hydroperiods 2 and 3. The median and quartile ranges for waterbodies within hydrogroups were often similar, with tributaries having slightly higher to distinctly higher values. As with other metals data, lead values recorded in the 1970s appear to be higher with more in-year variance than current levels, which could again be related to the use of high detection limits associated with earlier analytical methodologies (Figure 67). The error plot for the point source group suggests that there were great reductions in the concentration of total lead in these waterbodies. However, plottable data were limited to hydroperiod 1 of only eight years. Violin plots of total nickel suggest that concentrations of nickel occurring in the Cuyahoga River and its tributaries seldom exceeded Ohio’s relevant aquatic life chronic criterion (Figure 68). Nickel measurements for point sources were limited, with collections only during hydroperiod 1. All of these measured values were below the criteria level. Median values for waterbody groups were very similar within and between individual hydroperiods, and median concentrations never exceeded 40 µg/L. Nickel levels appeared to drop in concentration from 1980 through 1982 in the main stem of the lower Cuyahoga, but this may be an artifact of changing analytical methods and detection limits, as suggested by the monotonic nature of most data values before and after the early 1980s (Figure 69). Tributary values peaked during the same time period that main stem levels were dropping, which seems counter intuitive. It may be that a number of different methods were used for main stem and tributary station analyses, and the joining of disparate data sets has created artificial patterns in the trend data. No selenium values were available for point sources plots, but violin plots of total selenium data for the main stem and tributary groups indicated that most values fell below the USEPA chronic criterion value (Figure 70). Several total selenium values measured in the 1970s and 1980s were above the criterion of 5 µg/L, but more current levels are nearer to 2 µg/L (Figure 70, Figure 71). Sufficient data were available for long-term plotting of only main stem conditions, and no clear trend was apparent, other than consistently low levels of selenium from 1983 to 2002. The calculated hardness-based criterion for total silver, again based on a representative value of 200-mg/L for total hardness, was 12.5 µg/L. Violin plots were produced for both the main stem and tributary groups in hydroperiod 1 but only main stem distributions could be plotted for hydroperiods 2 and 3 (Figure 72). Median and quartile values for all waterbodies in all hydroperiods occurred below the criterion level of 12.5 µg/L. Examination of the error bar plots suggested that little data were available for analyses of the occurrence and distribution of this metal between years, waterbody groups and hydroperiods (Figure 73). Violin plots for total zinc were typically below the more restrictive total zinc criterion, and only a few values exceeded both criterion levels (Figure 74). Most exceedances were for total zinc in tributaries especially during hydroperiods 2 and 3. In general, median values for waterbody groups were most similar during hydroperiods 1 and 3, varying between about 20 and 40 µg/L. Median levels in hydroperiod 3 were highest with a point
33
source median value >100 µg/L and main stem and tributary values of 30 and 70 µg/L, respectively. Total zinc measurements for all waterbody groups appeared to decrease from relatively high values in the 1970s, with an additional drop in levels in the late 1980s (Figure 75). These declines might be real, or they might represent changing methods and better detection limits over time.

Assessment of Potential Concerns
Background and Intent of Analysis Water quality criteria play an important role in the assessment, monitoring, and regulation of waterbodies. Often, many jurisdictions overlap a given park service unit, creating a complex amalgam of criteria. The specifics of these overlapping criteria have been previously described for this park service unit (Goodrich and Huggins 2003). Parameters of potential concern that may or may not currently be known to park management can be identified through comparison of existing data with relevant national criteria for aquatic life, human health, and drinking water. In order to facilitate the analysis of these potential concerns, national criteria and regional benchmark values were tabulated for comparison. Since the intent of this analysis was to identify parameters of concern, rather than determine specific attainment levels, and as most state, tribal, and local standards adhere in large part to published national criteria, a subset of all of the relevant criteria was used for analysis (Table 9). The aquatic life and human health criteria were either pulled directly from or derived according to the recently updated National Recommended Water Quality Criteria (USEPA 2004b). Similarly, the drinking water standard values for this analysis were those published in the 2004 Edition of the Drinking Water Standards and Health Advisories (USEPA 2004a). Regional benchmark values for total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and turbidity, currently under development by the Regional Technical Assistance Group for USEPA Region 7 (Table 8), were also included to gauge potential nutrient and water clarity concerns. A table of relevant criteria and their associated values and sources is included in the relational database for this park service unit. For actual attainment determinations, park managers should reference and confirm the most current and specific criteria and standards for the designated waterbody in question. Table 9. Included criteria for potential concern analysis. Criterion Category Criterion Name Criterion Source Aquatic Life Freshwater Criterion Maximum

Water Quality Regional Benchmark Value (Huggins 2005) To be included in the potential concerns analysis, parameters had to have a published criterion in at least one of the previously detailed categories. For analytical purposes the most restrictive of these criteria for each given parameter was designated the “limit criterion.” For example, total arsenic has a Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) of 340 µg/L, a Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) of 150 µg/L, a Water-Organism Criterion of 0.018 µg/L, and a Maximum Contaminant Load (MCL) of 10 µg/L. The designated limit criterion is the most restrictive of these, namely 0.018 µg/L, and all of
113
the observations of total arsenic in the screened data for this analysis were compared to this limit. In the case where only one criterion value was available, that criterion was used as the limit criterion. Designated limit criteria and their respective sources are included in Appendix D of this report. The data for this analysis were screened according to the methods described in the data handling section of this report. It is of particular importance to note that data used in the potential concerns analysis were devoid of remark codes. Ostensibly, this ensures that the results are not clouded by either analytical or reporting limits. However, since a significant portion of the available data were collected from the STORET system, which has had notoriously little data quality assurance, the results of the potential concerns analysis identify exactly that, potential concerns. Determination of the true nature and extent of actual water quality problems related to these concerns and any future corrective action that may be necessary will require more detailed, case-specific studies.
Method of Analysis This approach is intended to summarize a large amount of data into a form that is both intuitively understandable and inherently useful for park management decisions. The general concept of this analysis is to compare each observation to a relevant criterion value. Those parameters found to exceed their respective criteria on a consistent basis are then identified as “potential concerns.” For each waterbody with available data, a potential concerns analysis was performed both by parameter (Table 10) and by specific location and parameter (Table 11). Appendix E contains the data from which these summary tables were constructed. As a framework for interpretation of the results of these analyses, observations were grouped into four major categories: those having less than 20 total observations, those having between 20 and 50 total observations, those having between 50 and 100 total observations, and those having more than 100 observations. In addition, parameters were compared to criterion values published by USEPA (USEPA 2004a, b) and to CPCB recommended potential benchmark criteria (Huggins 2005). For each parameter, the percentage of total observations that exceeded the relevant designated limit criterion (termed “percent exceedance”) is noted in the appropriate column for its total observation count. For example, if 25 observations of a given parameter were made for a given waterbody, then its percent exceedance would be recorded in the 20-50 total observations column. Percent exceedance is itself denoted by specific symbols (shown here in parenthesis) for each of the following categories: 0 to 5% exceedance (-), 5 to 10% exceedance (+), 10 to 20% exceedance (++), and greater than 20% exceedance (+++). Each row is marked for percent exceedance in only one of the four columns designating total observation count, since the total observation count categories are mutually exclusive. These percentage groupings were established in order to generally characterize both future and current concerns. Additional analyses could modify the grouping categories to attain higher or lower resolution. As a rule of thumb, more plus signs to the right of the table identify greater areas of concern. This is for two reasons. First, higher percent exceedance values (i.e. more plus
114
signs) tend to occur in areas with concentrations that are recurrently too high or too low for the parameter in question, compared to a limiting criterion. Second, higher sample sizes (i.e. more to the right) tend to give a better picture of the actual concentration of the parameter in question. For example, total arsenic noted (+++) in the (>100) Total Observations column would indicate more than 20% exceedance of the designated limit criterion for total arsenic in a sample size of more than 100 observations. This example would be a greater potential concern than a lower level of exceedance at the same sample size, since lower exceedance levels probably indicate lower actual concentrations of total arsenic. This would imply a greater potential concern than the same exceedance level at a lower sample size, since high exceedance at low sample sizes could be due to sampling error. Similarly, smaller sample sizes tend to have a greater potential for misrepresenting the actual in situ concentrations of a given parameter, since few exceedances in small sample sizes can constitute a relatively high percentage (consider 1 exceedance in two samples, versus 1 in 10 or 1 in 100). By applying this rule of thumb to the summary tables (Table 10, Table 11), park managers can quickly identify parameters and locations of potential concern for those waterbodies, locations, and parameters where data were suitable for analysis. As a final caveat, even though care has been taken to remove known reporting and detection limit values and poor data, many criterion values are very small. Often these criteria approach analytical limits. In future studies, great care must be taken to limit the impacts of sampling or laboratory errors, which can affect interpretation and management decisions, and to record reporting limits, which can skew data if they are not properly identified. In the end, it is up to park managers and relevant support staff to determine which levels of exceedance constitute truly significant concerns. Those concerns deemed significant should then be investigated through further sampling and analysis to better quantify the potential and actual impairment of the waterbody in question.
Park Specific Potential Concerns In general, the most frequently identified potential concerns for all waterbody types in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park can be divided into four categories: total phosphorus, toxic non-metals, potential pathogens, and toxic metals (Table 10, Table 11). While many compounds (including gamma-BHC and heptachlor epoxide in the Cuyahoga mainstem; antimony, chromium, and silver in several tributaries) showed relatively high percentages of exceedance (greater than 20%) in relatively smaller sample sizes (less than 20 observations), there were not enough viable data available to properly characterize these areas as significant or persistent problems by this method. Rather, they are here identified as potential concerns, with further sampling required to verify actual in situ concentrations. In such cases it is difficult to assess whether the relatively high percentage of exceedance is more related to sampling errors or small sample size than to actual water quality concerns. Similarly, relatively large sample sizes with relatively low (less than 5%) exceedance were identified in the summary tables, but not specifically referenced in the text of this analysis, since they represent the lowest level of potential concern, and may be artifacts of sampling or analysis. The data upon which the
115
following summary tables (Table 10, Table 11) are based, including the limiting criteria values and their sources used in this analysis, appear in Appendix E. Total phosphorus is by far the most frequently identified potential concern, regardless of waterbody type. In the mainstem of the Cuyahoga River, total phosphorus exceeded the recommended regional benchmark (68 µg/L) in 5 to 10% of more than 100 observations at each of 6 stations, and in 10 to 20% of 50-100 observations at an additional 5 stations. Total phosphorus also exceeded the benchmark in at least 10% of 20-50 observations at 11 stations in the tributaries. Similarly, total phosphorus exceeded the benchmark in at least 5% of more than 100 observations at an additional 4 tributary stations. Of the assigned tributaries, Deer Lick Run and Mud Brook appeared to have the most potential concern for total phosphorus, with more than 20% exceedance in 20-50 and 50-100 observations, respectively. The Ohio Canal also had 10 to 20% exceedance in more than 100 observations of total phosphorus. The State of Ohio outside mixing zone maximum (OMZM) criterion for phosphorus is narrative and seeks to prevent adverse aesthetic conditions. Specifically, it states “Total phosphorus as P shall be limited to the extent necessary to prevent nuisance growths of algae, weeds, and slimes that result in a violation of the water quality criteria set forth in paragraph (E) of rule 3745-1-04 of the Administrative Code or, for public water supplies, that result in taste or odor problems. In areas where such nuisance growths exist, phosphorus discharges from point sources determined significant by the director shall not exceed a daily average of one milligram per liter as total P, or such stricter requirements as may be imposed by the director in accordance with the international joint commission (United States – Canada agreement)” (Ohio EPA 2002). A maximum of 1 mg/L for total phosphorus was also recommended by in the TMDL for the Lower Cuyahoga (Ohio EPA 2003). Although park managers may ultimately deem a higher benchmark concentration to be more appropriate for CUVA, the CPCB benchmark of 68 µg/L (0.068 mg/L) represents a realistic target concentration for total phosphorus in high quality rivers and streams of the central plains. Total arsenic also frequently exceeded its relevant limiting criterion value of 0.018 µg/L for human health (USEPA 2004b). On the mainstem of the Cuyahoga, one station had more than 20% exceedance in 20-50 observations, one station had 10 to 20% exceedance in 50-100 observations, and 4 stations had at least 5% exceedance in greater than 100 observations. Similarly, 5 tributary stations had more than 20% exceedance in 20-50 observations, 3 had at least 10% exceedance in 50-100 observations, and one had 5 to 10% exceedance in more than 100 observations. Point sources had 10 to 20% exceedance in 20-50 observations at one station and in 50-100 observations at another. Total arsenic concentrations also exceeded the criterion value in 10 to 20% of over 100 point source observations combined. These exceedances may be due to the relatively low Human Health criterion (Water-Organism) for arsenic (0.018 µg/L), compared to its other criteria (CMC = 340 µg/L, CCC = 150 µg/L, MCL = 10 µg/L, State of Ohio OMZA = 50 µg/L for drinking, State of Ohio OMZA = 100 µg/L for agricultural use), or they may be the result of exceptionally high and widespread arsenic concentrations. Given the extent and magnitude of other known impairments and the designated uses of park waterbodies, further arsenic investigation may or may not be a park priority at this time. Total cyanide has a limiting criterion value of 0.0052 mg/L, which is the USEPA freshwater criterion chronic concentration (CCC) for aquatic life. Total cyanide
116
exceeded this criterion in 10 to 20% of 20-50 observations at point source stations, 10 to 20% in more than 100 observations on Mill Creek, and 5 to 10% of more than 100 observations on Tinkers Creek and the Little Cuyahoga River. Potential pathogens, represented by total counts of membrane filtered Escheria coli per 100 mL, are not to exceed the State of Ohio primary contact criterion (298 per 100mL) in more than 10% of samples (Ohio EPA 2002). However, this criterion was exceeded in more than 20% of 20-50 observations at one mainstem station (CUVA0054) and in 10 to 20% of 50-100 observations at another (CUVA0121). The criterion was also exceeded in 10 to 20% of 20-50 observations at a Mud Brook station (CUVA0067) and on one unassigned tributary station (CUVA0065) and in less than 20 observations at another (CUVA0107). E. coli counts also exceeded the primary contact criterion in 5 to 10% of more than 100 observations at each of two tributary stations (CUVA0173 on Tinkers Creek and CUVA0140 on Brandywine Creek). While E. coli criteria are also tied to season, number of measurements within a given time period, and designated use, the application of these additional factors was beyond the scope of this analysis. Dissolved and total cadmium, total lead, and total copper all had 5 to 10% exceedance in at least 50 observation at two or more stations on the Cuyahoga mainstem. Total manganese and total aluminum also had more than 20% exceedance in 20-50 observations at two mainstem stations, with aluminum also showing similar exceedance at two point source stations. Potential concerns for metal contamination of the tributaries include total aluminum, total copper, total manganese, total mercury, total nickel, total silver, total selenium, total lead, and total cadmium, with the latter two exceeding criterion values in at least 10% of at least 20 observations at four and five tributary stations, respectively. Of the highest potential concern tributaries, Deer Lick Run, Mill Creek, and Dickerson Run all had multiple metal exceedances of at least 10%, with Deer Lick Run having the most (4) and Dickerson Run having the fewest (1). Total lead, total cadmium, total copper, and total zinc were also identified as the most recurrent potential problems for unassigned tributaries. In all cases, since the toxicity of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc are all dependent on hardness, characterization of the actual in situ effects of these metals is difficult to assess without concurrent hardness data. For the purposes of this analysis, a representative hardness of 200 mg/L as CaCO3 was used, based on average observed hardness for similar waterbodies in the area. Relevant criteria for comparison were calculated using USEPA guidelines and this estimated value. For the purposes of this analysis, 200 mg/L as CaCO3 is an overestimate of the hardness of the waters within the park, giving a more conservative criterion value for identifying potential metal toxicity concerns. Turbidity was also identified as a potential concern at two mainstem stations (CUVA0120 and CUVA0203 both had 5 to 10% exceedance in at least 50 observations) and one tributary station on Tinkers Creek (CUV0167 had 5 to 10% exceedance in 50-100 observations), based on a CPCB recommended benchmark value of 10.4 NTU. No additional potential concerns having at least 20 observations were identified by this analysis.

NOTES: 1 Percent exceedance is defined as the number of observations that exceed the designated limit criterion value divided by the total number of
observations multiplied by 100. As a rule of thumb, more plusses at higher observation counts suggest greater potential concerns. See discussion of limit criterion values in this section. A list of values and sources is in the Appendix. - indicates 0 to 5% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value + indicates 5 to 10% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value ++ indicates 10 to 20% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value +++ indicates more than 20% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value
2 1 = Main Stem, 2 = Tributaries, 3 = Springs, 4 = Lentic Waters, 5 = Point Sources 3 X indicates that this parameter is a USEPA priority pollutant (USEPA 2004b) 4 Total Observation Counts are for those parameters which have some percentage of exceedance. Parameters without any exceedances were
not included in this analysis.

NOTES: 1 Percent exceedance is defined as the number of observations that exceed the designated limit criterion value divided by the total number of
observations multiplied by 100. As a rule of thumb, more plusses at higher observation counts suggest greater potential concerns. See discussion of limit criterion values in this section. A list of values and sources is in the Appendix. - indicates 0 to 5% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value + indicates 5 to 10% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value ++ indicates 10 to 20% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value +++ indicates more than 20% of observations exceed designated limit criterion value

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the water quality analyses in this report and on the various processes required for their development, the following recommendations are made: Exchange information with other agencies that study park-related waters. For example, Ohio EPA and USGS also perform water quality research in the Cuyahoga basin. Since major portions of the Cuyahoga River are currently listed as impaired by Ohio EPA, it is apparent that significant water quality research efforts and literature are already associated with waters relevant to CUVA. Information sharing, including data exchange, circulation of published reports, and contact between data managers and relevant staff, could greatly benefit all parties involved. Relate sampling locations to relevant regulatory waterbody segments. In order to make decisions within a regulatory context, it is important to know which stations are within which regulatory unit. Without easily accessible or fairly precise spatial information, it is difficult to ascertain whether stations contribute to a particular subbasin in a watershed or not. Without this knowledge, it is also difficult to assess the relative water quality at a given site in comparison to its relationship with the watershed, both upstream and downstream. For example, Ohio EPA currently has a system of spatial identification for the Cuyahoga and other river and stream segments, based both on river miles and assessment units. Current CUVA sampling stations should be related to these spatial indices for more meaningful analyses and future data comparisons. Be sure to document and standardize metadata. Institutional knowledge of station locations, sampling methods, and data handling must be clearly recorded. The implementation of this recommendation is likely a service- or network-wide concern, but each park should be prepared to contribute. The National Research Council has characterized some of the relevant concerns and applications associated with metadata. An executive summary of their recommendations is available at http://www.nap.edu/execsumm_pdf/4896.pdf. Standardize database files. Rigorous adherence to standards is the key to automating data extraction and analysis, especially with data field names (e.g. DissolvedOxygen, DO, DissOxy) and field types (e.g. text, number, date). NPS has begun to institute servicewide data standards and has been developing new data entry and management tools that should aid in this regard. Be sure to uniquely define sampling locations. For proper statistical analysis and relational database development, every observation must be linked to a unique place and time. Based on the scale of analysis (e.g. riffle versus watershed), sites may be grouped for analysis, but their original identity should be clearly maintained by documentation. Establish a sampling design for long-term trend analysis. In order to appropriately characterize trends over the long term (decades to centuries), comparable sampling
150
procedures and efforts should be maintained throughout the period of comparison. The goals of trend analysis should be clearly defined to address the scale of the trends being monitored (e.g. differences between months, seasons, years, stations, tributaries, waterbody types), so that sampling design can accommodate the statistical requirements for discerning the desired scale of change. Take hardness measurements concurrently with metals. Several priority pollutant metals vary in toxicity with hardness. Future studies should include hardness as part of the sampling regime. Take pH and temperature measurements concurrently with ammonia. Ammonia toxicity is dependent on both pH and water temperature. Since pH and water temperature fluctuate on multiple scales (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.), it is difficult to assess ammonia toxicity without concurrent measurements of these parameters. Develop study areas along watershed boundaries. Watershed boundaries provide more meaningful study areas than arbitrary upstream or downstream distances. By placing future assessments within a watershed framework, park managers will be better able to recognize the limits of their control over water quality within their parks, and they will also be able to identify the relevant entities whose cooperation will be required for water quality conservation and improvement. Correlate water quality parameters with actual park use. Some water quality concerns, especially turbidity and fecal coliforms, may be highly correlated to the number of users and the type of use of park waterbodies. Without an understanding of the amount and pattern of park usage, it is difficult to assess its impacts on water quality. In some cases, these impacts may be very significant to waters within and downstream from the park.

APPENDIX A: CPCB Algorithm for Location Grouping (November 2003) For analysis, unique locations were characterized according to the following process:
RULE – Sample sites that are nominally within 2 km of each other are considered to be at the same location.
Exceptions: 1. Look at Strahler order - if different - then they are different sites. 2. Look at database information for sites in the same source database: descriptive information may indicate special circumstances or details warranting separate treatment 3. Look on GIS map - does a tributary come between the sites? If yes, then the sites are different. 4. Look on GIS map and location description - does a waste water/sewage treatment plant come between the sites? If yes, then the sites are different. Upstream of plant is different than downstream regardless of distance. 5. Look on GIS map - lots of sites in a row. Weed out those intersected by tributaries or treatment plants. Use measure tool to measure 1st and last site -
if < 2 km, and nothing in between, then all same site. if > 2 km, then sites closest to each other are same site.
6. Look on GIS map - if one site is off of the stream - look in gazetteer to see if there is a tributary not showing up in GIS. If no tributary indicated, then this will be a judgment call based on distance and site description.

NOTES: 1 NPS Station ID code. This code has been assigned by NPS for unique identification of locations. 2 1 = Main Stem; 2 = Tributaries; 3 = Springs. Coded only for those stations included in the analyses of this report. 3 Code added by CPCB to identify stations within the same waterbody or segment. Coded only for those stations included in the analyses of
this report. 1 = Buffalo River; 1000 – 9999 indicate various tributaries; 10000 indicates springs. Springs were not separated by stream code, since they are point source stations (i.e. the sampling station is the only location within that spring).
4 Name of waterbody. Assigned only for those stations included in the analyses of this report, based on best available information. All springs were grouped into one category, since each spring has its own station as a unique identifier.
5 Field provided by STORET and included in the Baseline Report (National Park Service 1995). 6 Aliases by which this station is identified in databases other than STORET or the Baseline Report (National Park Service 1995). 7 In decimal degrees. Projection information was derived from NPS GIS metadata files. Refer to available NPS sources for these files.

APPENDIX D: Designated Limit Criteria and their Respective Sources 153 parameters with published criterion values were included in the analyses in this report. Criteria in this table were derived from two sources (USEPA 2004a, b). Additional regional benchmarks for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and turbidity were also included (Huggins 2005). These values appear in (Table 8). From these values, the limit criteria were designated. Water quality pollutants with limit criteria were then matched with relevant parameters by description. Additional state criteria were included in the core elements and priority concerns analyses where applicable. However, potential concerns analyses were based solely on the following limit criteria. See the analysis sections of this report for more detailed information on the methods of analysis.

NOTES: 1 Indicates parameter is categorized by USEPA as a priority pollutant (USEPA 2004b). 2 Name of pollutant in USEPA criteria documents (USEPA 2004a, b). 3 USEPA Storage and Retrieval (STORET) parameter code. This code is also used in the Baseline Report (National Park Service 1995) and
other NPS databases. 4 Description of the phase and actual measurement technique for this parameter. 5 Indicates the criterion for this value is a lower limit (i.e. lowest permissible value). Criteria are upper limits unless indicated here. 6 Units of limit criterion are the same as those of the parameter. The value is the most restrictive of the following four criteria:
Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) (acute) Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) (chronic) Human Health: Water-Organism Consumption Drinking Water Standard: Maximum Concentration Load (MCL)
“Most restrictive” means the lowest upper limit or the highest lower limit. For example, total arsenic has a Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) of 340 µg/L, a Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) of 150 µg/L, a Water-Organism Criterion of 0.018 µg/L, and a Maximum Contaminant Load (MCL) of 10 µg/L. The designated limit criterion is the most restrictive of these, namely 0.018 µg/L.

APPENDIX D: Designated Limit Criteria for Parameters with Hardness-Dependent Toxicity (continued)
D-14
NOTES: 1 Indicates parameter is categorized as a priority pollutant (USEPA 2004b). 2 Concurrent hardness values were not available for most metals observations. Therefore, conservative hardness levels were assumed based
on average observed hardness in each waterbody type. For more information on this approach, see the analysis section of this report. 3 Waterbody code assigned by CPCB for purposes of analysis 4 Name of pollutant in USEPA criteria documents (USEPA 2004a, b). 5 USEPA Storage and Retrieval (STORET) parameter code. This code is also used in the Baseline Report (National Park Service 1995) and
other NPS databases. 6 Description of the phase and actual measurement technique for this parameter. 7 Units of limit criterion are the same as those of the parameter. The value is the most restrictive of the following four criteria:
Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) (acute) Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) (chronic) Human Health: Water-Organism Consumption Drinking Water Standard: Maximum Concentration Load (MCL)
“Most restrictive” means the lowest upper limit or the highest lower limit. For example, total arsenic has a Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) of 340 µg/L, a Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) of 150 µg/L, a Water-Organism Criterion of 0.018 µg/L, and a Maximum Contaminant Load (MCL) of 10 µg/L. The designated limit criterion is the most restrictive of these, namely 0.018 µg/L. The aquatic life criteria for these parameters were derived from the hardness-dependent equations published in the National Recommended Water Quality Criteria document (USEPA 2004b).

NOTES: 1 1 = Main Stem; 2 = Tributaries; 3 = Springs; 4 = Lentic Waters; 5 = Point Sources 2 Name of waterbody. See Appendix B and park map (Figure 3) for locations of all stations with respect to waterbody. Upstream or
downstream refer to the portion of the Current River upstream or downstream of the confluence with the Jacks Fork River. 3 Description of the phase and actual measurement technique for this parameter. 4 Units of limit criterion are the same as those of the parameter. The value is the most restrictive of the following four criteria:
Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) (acute) Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) (chronic) Human Health: Water-Organism Consumption Drinking Water Standard: Maximum Concentration Load (MCL)
“Most restrictive” means the lowest upper limit or the highest lower limit. For example, total arsenic has a Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) of 340 µg/L, a Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) of 150 µg/L, a Water-Organism Criterion of 0.018 µg/L, and a Maximum Contaminant Load (MCL) of 10 µg/L. The designated limit criterion is the most restrictive of these, namely 0.018 µg/L. The aquatic life criteria for these parameters were derived from the hardness-dependent equations published in the National Recommended Water Quality Criteria document (CITE Water Criteria).
6 Exceedance Count = Number of times observed value exceeded limit criterion for this parameter. 7 Total Count = Total number of observations of this parameter. 8 % Exceedance = Exceedance Count divided by Total Count multiplied by 100, or the percentage of observations that exceed the limit
criterion for this parameter 9 This limit criterion is a lower limit. Unless marked in this column, limit criteria are upper limits.

NOTES: 1 1 = Main Stem; 2 = Tributaries; 3 = Springs; 4 = Lentic Waters; 5 = Point Sources. 2 Name of waterbody. See Appendix B and park map (Figure 3) for locations of all stations with respect to waterbody. Upstream or
downstream refer to the portion of the Current River upstream or downstream of the confluence with the Jacks Fork River. 3 NPS Station ID code. This code has been assigned by NPS for unique identification of locations. See Appendix B for complete list. 4 Description of the phase and actual measurement technique for this parameter. 5 Units of limit criterion are the same as those of the parameter. The value is the most restrictive of the following four criteria:
Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) (acute) Aquatic Life: Freshwater Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) (chronic) Human Health: Water-Organism Consumption Drinking Water Standard: Maximum Concentration Load (MCL)
“Most restrictive” means the lowest upper limit or the highest lower limit. For example, total arsenic has a Criterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) of 340 µg/L, a Criterion Chronic Concentration (CCC) of 150 µg/L, a Water-Organism Criterion of 0.018 µg/L, and a Maximum Contaminant Load (MCL) of 10 µg/L. The designated limit criterion is the most restrictive of these, namely 0.018 µg/L. The aquatic life criteria for these parameters were derived from the hardness-dependent equations published in the National Recommended Water Quality Criteria document (USEPA 2004b).
6 1 = CMC (USEPA 2004b); 2 = CCC (USEPA 2004b); 3 = Water-Organism (USEPA 2004b); 4 = MCL (USEPA 2004a); 5 = Potential Regional Benchmark Value (Huggins 2005) (Huggins 2005); 6 = State of Ohio criterion value (Ohio EPA 2002).
7 Exceedance Count = Number of times observed value exceeded limit criterion for this parameter. 8 Total Count = Total number of observations of this parameter. 9 % Exceedance = Exceedance Count divided by Total Count multiplied by 100, or the percentage of observations that exceed the limit
criterion for this parameter. 10 This limit criterion is a lower limit. Unless marked in this column, limit criteria are upper limits.
