Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. National Park Service, conducted a study to determine the presence of algal toxins and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) within Pipestone National Monument located in Pipestone County in southwestern Minnesota. Three algal toxins (microcystins, saxitoxin, and anatoxin-a) were analyzed in 12 water-quality samples collected from 8 surface and 2 quarry-water sample sites by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Two of the three analyzed algal toxins (microcystins and anatoxin-a) were also analyzed using immunosorbent strip test methods. All analysis kits were provided by Eurofins Abraxis Inc. (Warminister, Pa) and analyses were completed at the U.S. Geological [...]

Purpose

The datasets were created to disseminate environmental and quality-assurance data obtained using research analytical methods that support the identification of water-quality issues that may pose issues to human health at Pipestone National Monument in Pipestone, Minnesota. These data will help support park managers to: (1) establish health and protection measures for park staff, park visitors, and Native American quarry use, (2) develope and implement appropriate remediation strategies, (3) engage other stakeholders in the area regarding health concerns, and (4) protect cultural and natural resources within the park.
