Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access

Abstract:

Point shapefile representing the spatial distribution of median fecal coliform counts (colonies per 100 milliliters) in the Susquehanna River Basin. The results were obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) STORET database for 95 stations in the basin. Samples were collected from 1986 to 2018.

Purpose:

Dataset developed to fit the needs of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission.

Process_Description:

Downloaded fecal coliform data for 95 sites within the Susquehanna River Basin from USEPA's STORET database. Lat/Long information was used to plot these sites and a shapefile was created. Median values were calculated for fecal coliform counts.  All attributes from the database were added to the shapefile.
