San Francisco Bay Area Network Water Quality Data for Three Projects from 2003-2025 as of 2026-02-17

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: March 04, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17T00:00:00Z
This data package was created 2026-02-25 10:44:08 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data contained in the San Francisco Bay Area Network NPSTORET back-end file (SFAN_MASTER_NPSTORET_BACKEND_20260217.ACCDB) were filtered to include: Organization: - SFAN: San Francisco Bay Area Network Project: - SFAN_I&M: SFAN Long-Term Water Quality Monitoring Program - SFAN_I&M_EXTRA: SFAN Long-Term Water Quality Monitoring Program, Extra Sampling - SFAN_WQ: SFAN Pilot Monitoring for Freshwater Quality Protocol Station: - Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results Activity Start Date (<=10/1/2025) Value Status: - Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Verified (exported as Final) or Final The data package is organized into five data tables: - Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts - Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations - Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping - HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations data table - Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results Period of record for filtered data is 2003-06-18 to 2025-09-16. This data package is a snapshot in time of multiple National Park Service projects. The most current data for these projects, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=SFAN_I&M&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=SFAN_I&M_EXTRA&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=SFAN_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET Note: The projects share some of the same monitoring Location_IDs as monitoring was conducted at those locations as part of each project separately.
