Network (PRIMENet): Acadia, Big Bend, Canyonlands, Everglades, Denali,
Glacier, Great Smoky Mountains, Hawaii Volcanoes, Olympic, Rocky Mountain,
Sequoia-Kings Canyon, Shenandoah, Theodore Roosevelt, and Virgin Islands
National Parks. These parks are representative of major ecosystem types
and were chosen because of their status of Class 1 air quality parks.
At these sites the NPS is sponsoring
