2 Park Service Mission: The National Park Service Organic Act of 1916, defined the mission of the National Park Service: "... to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations" Greater Yellowstone Network 2
3 Omnibus Management Act: National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998: "The Secretary shall undertake a program of inventory and monitoring of National Park System resources to establish baseline information and to provide information on the long-term trends in the condition of National Park System resources. " Greater Yellowstone Network 3
4 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA): Long Term Goal Ia4. Water Quality: 85% of 265 Park units have unimpaired water quality Goal Description: The quality of water in the natural environment is a critical indicator for the health of that environment. Improved water quality enhances plant and animal species in the parks and can play a significant role in the safe recreational use of park resources. Almost 300 units of the National Park Service contain rivers, lakes, reservoirs, streams, springs, and wetlands, including 18 national riverways, 14 national seashores and lakeshores, and 12 parks containing major reservoirs. Greater Yellowstone Network 4
5 Water Resources The Upper Snake River Basin encompasses 35,800 square miles and flows 453 miles from the southern border of Yellowstone National Park to King Hill Idaho The Snake Headwaters, located in, are considered by the State and EPA to be Outstanding Natural Resource Waters (no degradation allowed) While we have no control of the water quality after it leaves Grand Teton National Park, Park Managers strive to maintain unimpaired water quality within Park boundaries Greater Yellowstone Network 5

26 Water Resource Monitoring Grand Teton Ground Water Monitoring Approximately 23 wells adjacent to sewage ponds and leach fields are presently being monitored and evaluated twice a year. Analysis includes depth to water, temperature, ph, alkalinity, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, fecal strep, fecal coliform, presence of nitrite, nitrate and chloride. National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) The first monitoring site was established in the Snake River - Flagg Ranch area in the early 90 s. A second site was established at Moose in 1996 Greater Yellowstone Network 26
27 Water Resource Monitoring Grand Teton Backcountry Water Quality Sampling Testing for fecal coliform began in 1996 in selected backcountry streams. Testing includes DNA sourcetracking of e-coli.

31 Proposed Water Quality Monitoring Goals: 1. Monitor quality impaired waters to enable the Network to determine whether the overall goal of improved water quality is being achieved 2. Monitor ONRWs and other pristine waters to: Allow characterization of existing water quality and to identify changes or trends in water quality over time, and Allow identification of specific existing or emerging water quality problems Greater Yellowstone Network 31
32 GRYN Monitoring Plan The end product will be a detailed water quality monitoring plan specifying: the major/most significant water bodies identified in the Network location of the monitoring stations to be established the parameters to be measured at each station with the data objectives of that monitoring the sampling protocols to be followed (may vary by state) the quality assurance and quality control measures, and any statistical analysis of the data that will be undertaken.
