Analysis of Water Temperature and Turbidity Data from the Pipeline Construction Monitoring Network

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has been awarded a contract by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for water resource analysis. The contract, identified as PO05026974, focuses on the analysis of water temperature and turbidity data from a pipeline construction monitoring network. The contract has a cumulative value of $165,000.00 and is set to be performed between May 28, 2025, and May 31, 2026.

The primary deliverable is a comprehensive analysis of water quality metrics, specifically temperature and turbidity data, with Sandra Mueller designated as the recipient of the final report. The contract specifies a quantity of 165,000 units at a unit price of $1.00, suggesting a detailed, data-driven assessment of environmental conditions related to pipeline infrastructure in Virginia. The project appears to be a targeted environmental monitoring and research initiative aimed at understanding water quality impacts associated with construction activities.
