Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the North Carolina Turnpike Authority, conducted a study to establish baseline water-quality conditions and bed-sediment chemistry in Currituck Sound, North Carolina, prior to construction of the Mid-Currituck Bridge. This Data Release contains the associated data described in the Open-File Report, “Characterization of Water-Quality and Bed-Sediment Conditions in Currituck Sound, North Carolina, Prior to the Mid-Currituck Bridge Construction, 2011-18”. These datasets contain information on analytical constituents measured in samples, surface-water environmental and quality-assurance sample results, bed-sediment environmental and quality-assurance sample results, phytoplankton taxonomy [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to characterize water-quality conditions and bed-sediment chemistry of Currituck Sound in the vicinity of the planned Mid-Currituck Bridge. The data serve as a baseline to which future comparisons can be made to determine if and (or) to what extent the construction and bridge deck runoff from the completed bridge may affect environmental conditions in Currituck Sound, North Carolina.
