USEPA
Query all data within tribal land boundary
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Tribes need to be able to download all data within their tribal boundary. Currently, this is not possible with the available WQP filters.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use EPA tribal land boundary service to get WQP station IDs within the boundary, then query the WQP to get all sites within the boundary. A new function input could be added to TADA_DataRetrieval in DataDiscoveryRetrieval.R to facilitate this (e.g. tribalBoundary = "FondduLac"). Meaning, the user selects the tribal name, and the resulting df would include only WQP sites that are within their tribal land boundary.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Find another way to do this, or ask the WQP team if we can do it in FY24 (unlikely).
Additional context
The HMW is interested in facilitating this as well. [9/28 1:32 PM] Brad Cooper WATERS/RAD (a little behind "processing schedule") has a copy of all WQP locations, we could use that EPA WQP service and do the query to get a list of station ids and then use those station ids to formulate the WQP data download web service call.
