Summary
Abstract:
Water quality monitoring is conducted at 26 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) at four locations within or adjacent to the reserve. The following parameters are collected at least every 30 minutes: water temperature, specific conductivity, salinity, percent saturation, dissolved oxygen concentration, water depth, pH and turbidity. All water quality data loggers will be deployed from a known depth from the bottom at each site.
Purpose:
Research objectives Measurements are taken every 30 minutes over a two to four week period from April 1 through the end of November of each year at two locations within the Tivoli Bays component of the Hudson River NERR. One datalogger monitors tributary water (Saw Kill, SK) entering the bay and the other monitors the Hudson River water flooding and ebbing to and from the bay (TS). The objective ... of this study is to monitor the quality of the surface water entering (via stream flow and tidal exchange) and leaving (via tidal exchange) Tivoli South Bay. This will help us understand the relative importance on each source of water on Tivoli South Bay. The Reserve staff have identified urban and residential land use practices as having a major influence on the water chemistry of the Saw Kill. Since residential coverage continues to increase, we hope that the intensive monitoring of the surface waters in this watershed will identify trends caused by this rapid development.SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: Associated researchers and projects Hudson River NERR Water Quality Monitoring: Physical and chemical constituents of the tributary waters discharging into HUDNERR marshes and marsh waters during ebb tides are measured monthly and during storm events. Concentrations of nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), and chloride are measured, as well as, seston, alkalinity, pH, temperature,salinity, and conductivity. Saw Kill Water Quality Monitoring: The surface water draining from five subcatchments representing five dominant land use practices within the Saw Kill have been monitored during several storm events. These five land use practices include: row crop agriculture, orchard, residential, solid waste landfill, and forested. All of the above constituents have been monitored during this project. Associated researchers with the work at Tivoli Bays include: scientists from the Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, NY; Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, New Haven, CT; and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.

SPATIAL DATA ORGANIZATION INFORMATION:
Indirect Spatial Reference: Site location and character The Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve (HUDNERR) is a multicomponent site composed of approximately 5,000 acres of tidal wetland, open water, and adjacent upland buffer habitat. The four component sites of the Reserve are located on the Hudson River in New York State by river miles (RM) proceeding north from the southern tip of Manhattan. These include: Stockport Flats (RM 124)(42o02'30"N 73o46'00"W), Columbia County; Tivoli Bays (RM 98)(42o02'15"N 73o55'10"W), Dutchess County; and Iona Island (RM 45)(41o18'15"N 73o58'45"W) and Piermont Marsh (RM 24)(41o02'30"N 73o54'15"W), Rockland County. These four components are located along 100 river miles of the Hudson and are representative of the diverse plant and animal communities that occupy the salinity gradient within the Hudson estuary. Development within the watersheds of Hudson River NERR component sites ranges from predominantly urban/suburban to forested/agricultural. The two YSI6000 dataloggers are placed at Tivoli Bays component site. The Saw Kill (SK) 42? 01’ 01.543”N, 73? 54’ 53.589”W drains a 26.6 square mile (6886.5 hectares) watershed that is characterized as a highly mixed land use watershed. These are both freshwater sites (0.0 ppt salinity). Water depth at ranges from 0.0 to 2.0m at TS and 1.0 to 2.0 at SK. Bottom type at TS is rocky and at SK is soft silt/clay. The dominant land uses within this watershed include: forested (51.1%), agriculture (25.8%), and urban (16.5%). Tivoli South Bay (TS) 42? 01’ 37.336”W, 73? 55’ 33.445”W, the receiving body for the Saw Kill, is a tidal freshwater wetland with a tidal range of 3.9 ft. (1.19 m). Tivoli North Bay (TN) 42? 02’ 11.56464”N, 73? 55’ 31.16645”W.

ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: Anomalous/Suspect Data April SK: No turbidity data for entire month, all data that was collected was out of range and was deleted. All values were slightly negative. Cause was probe failure. TS Turbidity data for 04/26/96 @ 14:00:00 and 04/30/96 @ 17:30:00 out of range and deleted. May SK No turbidity data for entire month, all data that was collected was out of range ... and was deleted. Cause was instrument failure. TS Turbidity data for 05/01/96 16:30:00 was slightly negative and deleted. Cause was likely mechanical and not a real turbidity event. June SK The following turbidity data deleted because data were out of measurable range of instrument: 06/04/96 @ 22:30:00 and 23:30:00; 06/05/96 @ 01:30:00 and 18:00:00 (values ranged from -713.5 to -717.4 NTU. YSI believes these data were caused by an object passing by the turbidity probe during the measurement. TS: The following turbidity data deleted because data were out of measurable range of instrument: 06/11/96 @ 19:30:00 and 06/13/96 @ 13:00:00 (values were -155.7 and -109.0 NTU respectively). YSI believes these data were caused by an object passing by the turbidity probe during the measurement. Negative turbidity spike occurred on 06/25/96 at 00:30 (-0440 NTU). This data point was likely caused by a probe blockage and was removed. July TN SpCond data for the following dates and times were 00.00 mS/cm and all data associated with these dates and times has been deleted because the instrument probes were exposed at low tides: 07/23/96 13:00:00 - 14:00:00 07/24/96 13:30:00 - 14:30:00 07/25/96 14:30:00 - 15:30:00 07/26/96 15:30:00 - 16:30:00 07/27/96 16:30:00 - 18:00:00 07/28/96 05:30:00 - 07:30:00 07/28/96 17:00:00 - 19:30:00 07/29/96 06:30:00 - 08:00:00 07/29/96 18:00:00 - 20:00:00 07/30/96 07:30:00 - 09:00:00 07/30/96 19:30:00 - 21:00:00 07/31/96 08:30:00 - 09:30:00 07/31/96 21:00:00 - 21:30:00 August TN Negative depth values occurred at 08/24/96 03:00:00 & 17:00:00; 08/26/96 19:00:00. Data left in, probes were not exposed. Large negative turbidity spikes occurred on 08/03 14:00 and 08/09 14:00 (both -737 NTU). These were likely caused by probe blockage and have been deleted. SpCond data for the following dates and times was 00.00 mS/cm and all data associated with these date and times has been deleted because the instrument probes were exposed at low tides: 08/01/96 09:30:00 - 10:00:00 08/01/96 21:30:00 - 22:30:00 08/02/96 10:00:00 - 11:00:00 08/02/96 22:30:00 - 23:30:00 08/03/96 10:30:00 - 12:00:00 08/03/96 23:30:00 08/04/96 00:00:00 08/04/96 11:00:00 - 13:00:00 08/05/96 00:00:00 - 01:30:00 08/05/96 12:00:00 - 14:00:00 08/06/96 01:00:00 - 02:00:00 08/06/96 12:30:00 - 15:00:00 08/07/96 02:30:00 - 03:30:00 08/07/96 13:30:00 - 15:30:00 08/08/96 04:00:00 08/08/96 15:00:00 - 16:30:00 08/09/96 04:30:00 - 05:30:00 08/09/96 16:00:00 - 17:00:00 08/10/96 05:00:00 - 07:00:00 08/10/96 16:30:00 - 18:00:00 08/11/96 05:30:00 - 08:00:00 08/11/96 17:30:00 - 19:00:00 08/12/96 06:30:00 - 08:00:00 08/12/96 18:30:00 - 19:30:00 08/13/96 07:30:00 - 08:30:00 08/14/96 08:30:00 - 09:00:00 08/14/96 19:30:00 - 20:30:00 08/16/96 10:00:00 08/17/96 09:30:00 - 10:30:00 08/17/96 22:00:00 08/18/96 10:00:00 - 11:30:00 08/18/96 22:30:00 - 23:30:00 08/19/96 10:00:00 - 12:30:00 08/20/96 11:00:00 - 12:30:00 08/22/96 12:30:00 - 14:30:00 08/23/96 13:30:00 - 15:00:00 08/24/96 03:30:00 - 04:30:00 08/24/96 14:30:00 - 16:30:00 08/25/96 04:00:00 - 05:30:00 08/25/96 15:30:00 - 17:30:00 08/26/96 05:00:00 - 06:30:00 08/26/96 16:30:00 - 18:30:00 08/27/96 06:00:00 - 07:30:00 08/27/96 17:30:00 - 19:30:00 08/28/96 07:00:00 - 08:30:00 08/28/96 19:00:00 - 20:30:00 08/29/96 08:00:00 - 09:30:00 08/29/96 19:30:00 - 21:30:00 08/30/96 08:00:00 - 09:30:00 08/30/96 20:30:00 - 22:30:00 08/31/96 09:00:00 - 11:00:00 08/31/96 21:30:00 - 23:00:00 September TS Turbidity probe failure during deployment from 09/12/96 09:00:00 to 09/30/96 23:30:00. Turbidity values dropped after this deployment to slightly negative values and only ranged +/- 5NTU for entire deployment. Unknown cause and all turbidity data removed from 09/12/96 09:00:00 to 09/30/96 23:30:00.

November TN SpCond data for the following dates and times was 00.00 mS/cm and all data associated with these date and times has been deleted because the instrument probes were exposed at low tides: 11/27/96 07:00:00 - 11:00:00 11/27/96 20:00:00 - 11/28/96 00:00:00 11/29/96 10:00:00 - 11:00:00 11/29/96 23:00:00 - 23:30:00 December TS SpCond data for the following dates and times was 00.00 mS/cm and all data associated with these date and times has been deleted because the instrument probes were exposed at low tides: 12/21/96 04:30:00 - 05:30:00. TN All DO Sat and DO mg/L data for entire month removed. DO probe drifted quickly to negative values and remained negative for the entire deployment. SpCond data for the following dates and times was 00.00 mS/cm and all data associated with these date and times has been deleted because the instrument probes were exposed at low tides: 12/12/96 08:30:00 - 09:30:00 12/20/96 15:30:00 - 19:30:00 12/21/96 02:00:00 - 07:00:00 12/21/96 17:00:00 - 19:30:00 12/22/96 05:00:00 - 07:00:00 12/22/96 18:30:00 - 20:00:00 12/23/96 05:30:00 - 07:00:00 12/23/96 20:00:00Post deployment information LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: NACOMPLETENESS REPORT: Data collection period YSI6000 datalogger sampling at the Saw Kill (SK) and Tivoli South Bay (TS) began during May, 1995. Sampling at Tivoli North Bay (TN) began during July, 1996. All sampling is ongoing, however, we cannot sample from approximately December 1 through March 31 due to winter storms and ice on the Hudson River and tributaries. During a tropical storm during mid-July the SK deployment site was damaged and we were unable to repair it during 1996. This site should be operational by April 1997. Deleted Data Missing Data January through March No data collected at TS, TN, or SK, no instruments deployed until April due to ice and late winter storms. April SK No data collected from 04/01/96 @ 00:00:00 through 04/25/96 @ 13:00:00, instruments not deployed until 04/25/96 at 13:30:00 due to ice and late winter storms. No turbidity data for entire month, all data that was collected was out of range and was deleted. All values were slightly negative. Cause was likely probe failure. TS No data collected from 04/01/96 @ 00:00:00 through 04/17/96 @ 07:30:00, instuments not deployed until 04/17/96 @ 08:00:00 due to ice and winter storms. Turbidity data for 04/26/96 @ 14:00:00 and 04/30/96 @ 17:30:00 out of range and deleted. Likely cause was probe blockage. TN No data, instrument not deployed May SK No turbidity data for entire month, all data that was collected was out of range and was deleted. Likely cause was probe failure. No data for 05/25/96 14:00:00 through end of month. Instruments out for servicing. TS Turbidity data for 05/01/96 16:30:00 was slightly negative and deleted. Cause was likely mechanical and not a real turbidity event. No data from 05/17/96 08:30:00 through 05/31/96 23:30:00, instruments out for servicing. TN No data, instrument not deployed June SK No data from 06/01/96 @ 00:00:00 through 06/04/96 @ 08:30:00 and 06/20/96 @ 03:30:00 through 06/26/96 @ 13:00:00. Instrument out for servicing. The following turbidity data deleted because data were out of measurable range of instrument: 06/04/96 @ 22:30:00 and 23:30:00; 06/05/96 @ 01:30:00 and 18:00:00 (values ranged from -713.5 to -717.4 NTU. YSI believes these data were caused by an object passing by the turbidity probe during the measurement. TS No data from 06/01/96 @ 00:00:00 through 06/04/96 @ 08:30:00 and 06/25/96 @ 10:30:00 through 06/26/96 @ 13:00:00. Instrument out for servicing. The following turbidity data deleted because data were out of measurable range of instrument: 06/11/96 @ 19:30:00 and 06/13/96 @ 13:00:00 (values were -155.7 and -109.0 NTU respectively). YSI believes these data were caused by an object passing by the turbidity probe during the measurement. Negative turbidity spike occurred on 06/25/96 at 00:30 (-0440 NTU). This data point was likely caused by a probe blockage and was removed. TN No data, instrument not deployed. July SK No data collected from 07/11/96 08:00:00 through 09:30:00 and 07/11/96 23:00:00 through 07/31/96 23:30:00. High flows in the Saw Kill from a tropical storm destroyed deployment site. Instrument not damaged but did stop collecting data. All data up to 07/11/96 23:00:00 appear good. TS No data from 07/17/96 10:00:00 through 07/30/96 09:30:00. Instruments pulled for servicing. No salinity data collected for 07/01/96 00:00:00 - 07/17/96 09:30:00. Did not program the instrument to collect data. However, the site is fresh water so salinity is essentially 0.0 ppt at all times. TN Instrument deployed for first time on 07/23/96 at 11:45:00. No data from 07/01/96 at 00:00:00 through 07/23/96 at 11:30:00. No salinity data collected for entire month.

With the new format, the use of periods to denote deleted or missing data has been abandoned. Hence, all periods contained in the SWMP water data collected prior 2003 were removed and left blank. Data are analyzed for outliers and anomalies using the outlier macro for Excel 5.0 developed by the CDMO. These macros discover outlier values which fall outside the range that the instrument is designed to measure (see section II.8 of this document). After outliers and anomalous data are identified, all data are graphed in Excel to help identify outliers that fall within the range of the probes and also anomalous trends. Missing data are identified using the CDMO Excel Date, Hour Count macro. All columns are formatted using the CDMO Excel Column Reformat macro. All data was FTPed to the CDMO via the CDMO dial-up access. All raw data files are archived at the CDMO and on 3.5" disks. Questionable data are either deleted or identified in section II.10. All missing data and deleted data will be identified in section II.11. Person responsible for data verification: Research Coordinator. PROCESS DATE: 20060210
