Supplemental Data for Apra Harbor, Guam, Included in AECOS 1991-Preliminary Toxics Scan of Water, Sediment, and Fish Tissue from Pago Pago Harbor, American Samoa
This data package was created 2025-12-03 09:34:00 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data are from a 1991 report prepared by AECOS, Inc. for the Government of American Samoa, the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources, American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency, and American Samoa Coastal Management Program. The data set is supplemental data included in a study of Pago Pago Harbor, American Samoa, by AECOS 1991 to be used for comparison. The purpose of the American Samoa data was to determine whether toxic chemical compounds could be detected in the marine environment of the harbor and provide a preliminary assessment of the extent of the contamination and the risk to public health. The Apra Harbor data are from 1974.
Data contained in WAPA_NPSTORET_BE.ACCDB (NPSTORET back-end file) were filtered to include:
Organization:
- WAPA: War in the Pacific National Historical Park
Project:
- WAPA0018: Supplemental Data for Apra Harbor, Guam, Included in AECOS 1991-Preliminary Toxics Scan of Water, Sediment, and Fish Tissue from Pago Pago Harbor, American Samoa
Station:
- Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
Value Status:
- Accepted or Certified (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 1974-01-01 to 1974-01-01. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at:
