The National Park Service has the honor of preserving battlefields, military parks, and historic sites that commemorate and honor the service of American veterans. These sites and the stories they tell provide opportunities for our military community to connect to the landscapes and the important history they defend. This project will focus on engaging veterans (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps instructors), university students, grade 9-12 students, and National Park personnel together in the study and analysis of military history. Previous Kutztown University Frederick Douglass Institute research concluded that an improved experiential model would include a more active role for our veterans and park personnel when networking and studying military history with Higher Education and K-12 School students in National Park places. This project aims to facilitate the collaboration of research, preparation and delivery of military history topics by multiple communities. Students perspectives of military history will be shared as they engage in dialogue with veterans and park personnel in national park spaces concerning the nation's ongoing quest to fulfill the promise of life, liberty and happiness for all.

The objective of this Agreement is to provide personnel, equipment, and supplies needed to continue and enhance containment operations for invasive quagga mussels at Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAKE). Quagga mussels were first discovered in LAKE in 2007, and an initial response plan developed by the park focused on a two part strategy to prevent their spread: mandatory inspection and decontamination of high-risk slipped and moored vessels entering and leaving the park in partnership with marina concessioners and voluntary inspection and decontamination of low-risk day use vessels. Inspection and decontamination of both high and low risk vessels on the Nevada side of the park are currently provided as a free of charge service to the public in partnership with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). These successful partnerships have resulted in a significant reduction in the number of vessels with quagga mussels leaving LAKE and being intercepted at state inspection stations. In addition, NDOW staff provides extensive public information on park launch ramps about aquatic invasive species and prevention of their spread, which increases the public awareness, knowledge, and support of ongoing efforts to protect the nation s waterbodies. In order to continue the success of these programs, personnel, supplies, and replacement equipment are needed to support and augment field operations and improve safety. Funds from this project will be used to support NDOW contract staff to provide public education and inspection/decontamination services on park launch ramps. Funds from this project will also be used to purchase replacement equipment which is reaching end of life (vehicles, travel trailer, golf carts, radios), to purchase equipment to augment decontamination operations (boat jacks, boat stands, lights), and to purchase fuel and supplies for continued operation of wash stations. In support of the partnership with NDOW, the park maintains equipment and supplies needed for inspection and decontamination of vessels, including fixed and mobile wash stations along with support equipment needed for operation of these wash stations within the park. In addition, park personnel collaborate with NDOW staff on development of public information and messaging, and assist NDOW staff with delivery of messaging during events, such as fishing tournaments. This project address current management objectives related to containment of quagga mussels and prevention of their spread to uninfested waters found in the draft NPS Aquatic Invasive Species Strategic Plan, which is currently in review, including: Goal 1 Prevent the introduction and establishment of Dreissenid mussels and other AIS in NPS waters. Objective 1.1 Reduce the risk of Dreissenid mussel / AIS introduction on recreational watercraft. Strategy 1.1.1 Containment: Maintain risk-based watercraft / inspection decontamination programs at NPS waters with established populations of quagga / zebra mussels in cooperation with federal, state and local partners.

The decentralized management framework created by the Clean Water Act presents challenges to organizations and citizens trying to understand, monitor, and track water quality conditions locally, regionally, and/or nationally. CSU and the NPS Water Resources Division (WRD) have previously collaborated to ameliorate this problem over America s treasured park lands by consolidating and centralizing data, information, and maps from 56 states and territories about water quality conditions in the National Park System to make those resources readily available to the parks, the public, and other organizations so they can become part of the water quality management process. The current project continues that collaboration. CSU faculty, staff, research associates, and students will work with the NPS WRD to identify Clean Water Act outstanding resource waters classifications and impaired waters designations by states within the National Park System and use this information to update and expand existing databases and websites. The products generated by this effort will include GIS coverages as well as a website with reports containing descriptive graphical and tabular summaries of: (1) park waterbodies that are currently listed on state 303d water-quality impaired lists; (2) parks that have designated Outstanding National or State Resource Waters created by state water quality regulations; and (3) parks that contain particular types of impairments. To the greatest extent feasible, this project will extract and reformat, on a park-specific basis, data from existing databases, including individual state water quality standards systems and several databases maintained or being developed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey (e.g. National Hydrography Dataset, STORET, 305b, and 303d). Syntheses of these data will be made to support Government Performance Results Act (GPRA), Vital Signs, State of the Parks, and Scorecard efforts as well as to empower the public to help steward water resources in parks.
