The USEPA participated in the 2015 Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative
(CSMI) focus year for Lake Michigan.  This work is describd here:

As a small sub-component of this work EPA staff collected water quality data
at the locations listed in grand_musk_tp.csv.  The fields in grand_musk_tp.csv
are described in grand_musk_tp.metadata.csv.  This data was collected to
support (provide validation data for) EPA nearshore nutrient modeling work
described in the paper (in prep.) “Nearshore Nutrient Circulation in the Great
Lakes - can a simple model provide transparency and utility?”.

Note: by default Excel will load grand_musk_tp.metadata.csv with the wrong
encoding.  You can force Excel to use the correct encoding (UTF-8) with the
Data -> From Text/CSV tool in Excel, although it is not essential to do so.
