**1. INTRODUCTION**

The SCBPP Information Management System is designed to:

1)  Document sampling activities and standard methods;

2)  Support program logistics, sample tracking and sample shipments;

3)  Process and organize the field and laboratory data;

4)  Perform range checks on selected numerical data;

5)  Facilitate analysis of data;

6)  Facilitate the dissemination of data; and

7)  Provide interaction between SCBPP participants and EMAP.

**[1.1 Data Integration and QA/QC]{.underline}**

Two types of problems must be resolved in developing QA/QC protocols for
information and data management: 1) correction or removal of erroneous
individual values, and 2)resolution of inconsistencies originating from
the various agencies involved with the project. The SCBPP Information
Management System will provide a foundation for the management and
quality assurance of all data collected and reported during the Pilot
Project.

In addition to QA/QC activities described in the *SCBPP QA Plan*, data
compatibility will be attained by three mechanisms. First, sample log
numbers will provide a unique identifier for each type of sample being
analyzed and help track the data from sample collection to database
entry. Second, standardized field data sheets (and/or field computer
system) will ensure that consistency in field data collected. Third,
standardized data formats will provide consistency in data outputs
received from each of the participating laboratories, which will
facilitate compiling the data, entering it into the database, and
checking for errors.

**[1.2 Data Flow]{.underline}**

Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) will be the
central repository for samples and data. All field and laboratory
information will be forwarded to SCCWRP where it will be compiled and
disseminated. At the end of each sampling period (CTD, sediment, and
fish trawl), the original field data sheets and a diskette of the data
will be mailed (or hand carried) to SCCWRP (see Sample Tracking). Each
participating agency should maintain a copy of the field data sheets.

SCCWRP will compile and archive the data, and coordinate with the QA
Specialists to perform a preliminary check of the data. After the
preliminary QA has been completed, SCCWRP will forward the data to the
SCBPP IMO (Bob Hall, EPA Region IX) for archiving and processing through
the ODES QA/QC. Region IX has contracted conversion of the data into the
ODES format and the ODES QA/QC. If any data are flagged, the contractor
will contact the IMO who will coordinate with the appropriate QA
Specialist to make any corrections. After the data have passed through
the final QA/QC, it will be permanently archived in ODES and at Region
IX. The Region IX dataset will be administered by the IMO.

**2. STANDARDIZATION**

**[2.1 Log Numbers]{.underline}**

A systematic numbering system was developed for unique identification of
individual samples, sampling events, stations, shipments, equipment, and
diskettes. The sample numbering system contains codes that allow the
computer system to distinguish among several different sample types.
Each sample will be identified and tracked with an unique 10-digit log
number. Example: PSCWQ00090

The first field identifies the pilot project (P). The second and third
fields representing the agency collecting the data (i.e., SC for SCCWRP,
SD for San Diego, OC for Orange County, LA for Los Angeles County, and
HY for Hyperion). Fields four and five identify the type of analysis
that will be performed on the sample:

WQ for water quality,

BE for benthic analysis,

GS for grain size analysis,

TO for total organic carbon and nitrogen,

MT for sediment metals,

OR for organics,

FT for fish trawls,

for fish bioaccumulation

LS- Longfin sanddab,

PS - Pacific sanddab,

HT - Hornyhead turbot,

CS - California scorpionfish,

DS - Dover sole,

SS - Speckled sanddab,

WC - White croaker, and

ES - English sole, and

ST for sediment toxicity.

Fields six through nine are the station numbers (0009 to 2011). Field 10
is saved for replicate information (0 = original sample, 1 = first
replicate, 2 = second replicate, etc.). This system is flexible enough
to allow changes during the project, while maintaining a structure that
allows easy identification of the sample type.

**[2.2 Field Data Sheets and Field Computer System]{.underline}**

Hard copies of all field data sheets are mandatory; they can be either
hand- written or print outs from the field computer system, which was
developed for the SCBPP. The filed computer includes all field data
sheets except the Cruise Logs. Use of the field computer system is
optional. An instruction manual for the field computer system was
developed for training field personnel and for reference in the field.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between the electronic forms (or
records) and the paper forms. Data entered in the electronic forms will
be checked automatically by the software, which will warn when data are
outside of the expected range. After the data are entered into the field
computer system, it is printed onto hard copy and checked 100% against
the original paper data sheets. The check is performed by the field crew
chief, who may correct transcription errors and who is ultimately
responsible for assigning an acceptance code to the entered data. Once
the data have been checked and accepted by the crew chief, the field
personnel cannot change it.

After all data sheets have been received from SCCWRP the IMO will
perform a 100% manual check of the data sheets against the submitted
electronic data before archiving on the Region IX computer. Any
erroneous data values identified in this check or in the
previously-generated reports will be changed to correct values after
authorization from the QA Coordinator. Suspicious data are flagged for
further investigation. Whenever a change to the data is required, the
IMO will enter a computerized data change form indicating the data sheet
and variable changed, and the reason for change. This information is
written to a file that is used for compiling error rate statistics for
data entry. When satisfied that the data are 100% correct, the IMO
assigns an acceptance code.

**[2.3 Data Formats]{.underline}**

Standardized data output formats have been described for each of the
data types collected. See the Data Submittal Format section.

**[2.4 Sample Tracking]{.underline}**

Real-time tracking of sample shipments will be performed at the Field
Operations Center (SCCWRP). Shipment tracking from the field crews to
the analytical laboratories will minimize sample loss by field crews,
shipping carrier, or receiving laboratory, or as a result of improper
packaging. Shipment tracking is performed: 1) by transfer of shipment
and receipt information via daily/weekly telephone calls from the field
crews and receiving labs, and 2) by comparison of electronic shipment
and receipt files transmitted to SCCWRP.

Shipments sent to the analytical laboratories by field crews in other
agencies will be tracked by SCCWRP using the ten-digit log number. All
field samples collected will be associated with a shipment number,
copies of field data sheets, and chain-of-custody forms whether they are
shipped by carrier (e.g., UPS) or hand carried by a crew member. The
association of field samples with the shipment numbers make it possible
to track numerous samples by a single number.

Field crews will inform SCCWRP weekly via telephone of field and
shipping activities. The laboratory or field crew sending packages
(samples) to SCCWRP will inform them when a package will be shipped, by
whom, and when it will arrive at SCCWRP. The sender will provide SCCWRP
with the bill number. All shipment numbers, shipment dates, sample
types, destinations, and carrier identification numbers will be recorded
by SCCWRP on a phone log. If the package does not arrive on time, SCCWRP
will initiate a search. It is important for the laboratory and field
crews to provide the proper information, especially with frozen samples,
to trace the samples through the tracking system.

SCCWRP personnel will account for each sample by examining the raw
shipped and receipt files, by reviewing the field data sheets, and by
contacting the analytical laboratories. If any corrections to the
shipment or receipt datasets must be made (i.e., to correct
typographical errors), they will be approved by the QA Coordinator,
performed by the data librarian, and documented in a memo.

**[2.5 Reporting]{.underline}**

It is strongly recommended that data be entered twice, independently,
and then compared electronically. Differences should be resolved and
corrected before reporting the data. This method has proven reliable for
many agencies and is appropriate for any data quality checks.

Following analysis of the samples, the summary data packages transmitted
from the laboratories will include results, QA/QC information, and
accompanying text. If the laboratory has assigned internal
identification numbers to the samples, the results should include the
original sample number. Specific data reporting requirements associated
with each indicator are discussed in the corresponding section of this
plan. Analytical laboratories are responsible for permanent archiving of
all raw data used in generating results for a minimum of seven years.

**[2.6 Automated Data Verification]{.underline}**

Erroneous numeric data will be identified using automatic range checks
and filtering algorithms as part of the ODES submission process. When
data fall outside of an acceptable range, they will be flagged in a
report for review by the Project Manager, the QA Coordinator (QAC), or
their designee (QA Specialist). This report will specify the files
processed and the status of the QA checks. The report will be generated
on disk and in hard copy for permanent filing. The Project Manager or QA
Coordinator will review the report and release data that have passed the
QA check for incorporation into the database. All identified errors must
be corrected before flagged files can be added to the database. If the
data check ranges are not reasonable, the values should be changed by a
written request that includes a justification for the change.

Database entries in the form of codes should be compared to lists of
values (e.g., look-up tables) established by experts for specific data
types. Codes will be stored in a central database for easy access by
users. When a code cannot be verified in the appropriate look-up table,
the observation should be flagged in a written report for appropriate
corrective action (e.g., update of the look-up table or removal of the
erroneous code).

**[2.7 Redundancy (Backups)]{.underline}**

All files in the SCBPP IMS will be backed up regularly. At least one
copy of the entire system will be maintained off-site to enable the
information management team to reconstruct the database in the event
that one system is destroyed or incapacitated. All information in the
field will be recorded on paper data sheets as well as in the computer
(for those using the field computer system). All information saved to
the hard drive will also be copied simultaneously to a diskette. At the
end of each day, the field computers will be "equalized" to assure that
the information contained on both (hard drive and diskette) are
identical. At Region IX, incremental backups to removable disk will be
performed daily on all files that have changed. Backups of all SCBPP
directories and intermediate files will be performed weekly and monthly
as a backup in the event of a loss of the Region IX GIS facility.

All original data files will be saved on-line for at least two years,
after which the files will be permanently archived. Archiving of data
will be on a non-volatile medium such as an optical "WORM" disk; one
copy of this will be kept off-site. All original files, especially those
containing the raw field data, will be protected so that they can be
read only (i.e., write and delete privileges will be removed from these
files).

**3. DATA SUBMITTAL**

**[3.1 Data Format]{.underline}**

Data will be submitted in a specific format in a series of files. There
is one master SAMPLE file for each sampling regime with a single entry
for each sample regardless of the data type. The data results will be
contained in separate files (data tables) (Figure 3.1). A benthic
infauna sample would have one entry in the BENTHIC MASTER SAMPLE table
and multiple entries in the BENTHIC ABUNDANCE and BENTHIC BIOMASS files.
There would be another entry in the SAMPLE file for each sediment
chemistry sample and multiple rows in the SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY file. We
can associate sample with the proper data files by the fourth and fifth
characters in the sample log number, which identify the analysis type.

Each file will be a comma delimited, ASCII text file. Blank fields are
indicated by successive commas. Text fields are surrounded by double
quotation marks. For example:

"PSCMT00090","01/JAN/94",3.25,"\<",0.05

Although, not all fields require data, **the positions of ALL fields are
mandatory**. If there are no data for a particular field, it must be
indicated. In the above example, the field between "01/JAN/94" and 3.25
is missing.

**[3.2 Codes]{.underline}**

Some fields require codes (Section 5). It is important everyone uses the
same set of codes so the data are compatible. If a code is needed and
does not appear on the list, contact the IMO who will coordinate with
appropriate QA liaison.

**[3.3 MASTER SAMPLE FILES]{.underline}**

There is one master sample file for each of the three sampling regimes
(Water Quality, Grabs, and Trawls). Each agency will submit a copy of
the master sample files on diskette to SCCWRP.

**[3.4 WATER QUALITY (CTD)]{.underline}**

Data from each cast will be tracked through the log number (e.g.

PSCWQ00090). Each agency will submit, on diskette to SCCWRP, a copy of
the binary data file plus the corresponding header and configuration
files for each station.

All data will be output in ASCII format using the DATCNV in version 4
software. It will include all cast scans including those from the
equilibration time and upcast in the raw data, but upcast will be
eliminated from the one-meter averaged data. The data will be submitted
to SCCWRP along with a cover letter which links the file names to log
numbers, number of files, file names and file size, on each diskette.

**[3.5 SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY]{.underline}**

Samples will be tracked using the log number (e.g. PSCMT00090 for
sediment metals analyses from SCCWRP, the letters OR will be used for
sediment organics, and TO will be used for Organic Carbon). SCCWRP will
analyze all 264 TOC samples. Sediment samples for trace organics and
metals analyses will be performed by the participating laboratories (see
Appendix 2 - SCBPP Workplan). The collection crews will be responsible
for assuring that all sample collection and preservation requirements
listed in the Field Manual and Chemistry QA plan are achieved.

Each of the individual laboratories will be responsible for tracking the
samples through their labs. As noted in the QA plan, each agency will
have a sample custodian. The samples from the POTWs and the contractor
will be transmitted to SCCWRP along with a copy of the field data sheets
and the chain-of-custody forms.

The tabulated results shall be submitted in the following format.

laboratory control material (LCM), and certified reference material
(CRM). The next 2 digits will be the laboratory performing the analysis
from code list 25. The next 2 digits will be the analysis type from code
list 2. The final 5 digits will just be the replicate number. An example
log number would be QOCOR00001

**[3.6 Grain Size Analysis]{.underline}**

Each grain size sample will be identified by a unique log number (e.g.
PSCGS00090). These samples should be stored on ice and/or refrigerated
until analyzed. The participating agencies will be responsible for
transmitting their share of the 183 sediment grain samples, copies of
the field data sheets and associated chain-of-custody forms to SCCWRP
within two weeks of collection.

SCCWRP will transfer the samples to San Diego. San Diego will be
responsible for tracking all 264 samples internally within its
laboratory. The tabulated results and associated meta-data will be
compiled by San Diego and submitted to SCCWRP. Data loading and QA
review will be handled in the same manner as for sediment chemistry.

All tracking information, copies of the field data sheets, tabulated
results and associated meta-data (describing methods and MDLs) will be
submitted to SCCWRP. The tabulated results shall be submitted in the
following format.

**[3.7 BENTHOS]{.underline}**

**Sample Tracking**

Each sample will be tracked using the log number (e.g. PSCBE00090).

Each Laboratory will be responsible for sample tracking within their
laboratory. The sample tracking process should include documentation of
receipt of samples, and assurance sample storage procedures are
followed.

Each laboratory will employ its own bench sheet for taxonomic analysis.
For the SCBPP, certain standard forms of notation will be employed to
assure that all labs collect the required information in a uniform
fashion. Standardized forms will be used for sorting, biomass
estimation, and all QC checks. Each participating laboratory will retain
its taxonomic bench sheets and voucher sheets. Biomass records, and all
QC reports are to be submitted to the QA Specialist with analytical
results. Copies of all these documents are to be retained by the
individual laboratories.

The laboratory manager is responsible for assuring that all steps in the
process of analyzing infaunal samples follow SCBPP procedures and that
all QC steps are completed and documented. The manager must implement
any specified corrective actions resulting from QC protocols. He or she
is also responsible for preparing their data and documents for
transmission in the proper format. All data entry must be subject to the
established transcription error checking procedures within the
originating laboratory. All tracking information, copies of the field
data sheets, tabulated results and associated meta-data will be
submitted to SCCWRP. Data from the laboratories should be submitted in
the following format.

**[3.8 FISH TRAWLS]{.underline}**

**Assemblage Analysis**

Information on the size, abundance and biomass of fish and the abundance
and biomass of invertebrate species caught in the trawls will be
recorded by the field crew on field data sheets (and on the optional
field computer). Each trawl location will be identified by a unique log
number which will be recorded on all data sheets. Fish which cannot be
identified in the field and those with identifiable pathologies (i.e.
tumors, lesions, or fin erosion) will be saved for expert identification
and/or verification of pathology.

Copies of the field data sheets and chain-of-custody forms should be
sent to SCCWRP for collation within one week of the end of the sampling
period. The field collection teams will be responsible for transmitting
electronic data files (on disk) along with copy of field data sheets and
cover letter to SCCWRP within one month of the end of the sampling
period (standard format specified on the field data sheets or field
computer). Data will be submitted in the following formats.

**3.10 SEDIMENT TOXICITY**

Samples will be identified and tracked by a unique identifier
(PSCSTOO160). The last field should be used for differentiating sample
material that will be used for the test and that which will be used for
QA analysis. SCCWRP will do 132 of the sediment bioassays, and EMAP
laboratory, Narragansett, will do 132 samples. SCCWRP will do analyses
on 264 interstitial water bioassays. Each participating laboratory will
be responsible for tracking the samples through their laboratory and
insuring all QA/QC requirements have been met.

Test results and associated QA/QC information will be stored in the
laboratory notebook and recorded on standardized data sheets. Data will
be submitted in the following format. The toxicity laboratory will be
responsible for preparing data reports for transmission to SCCWRP.

**[3.11 METADATA]{.underline}**

The metadata is the abstract that accompanies the data. The abstract
explains the source and quality of the data as well as a general
description of the circumstances surrounding the collection and
generation of the data. It is reported in the following format, which is
based on the ODES format, where each of the bolded titles is a question
to be answered about the data.

**4. INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM**

**[4.1 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT OFFICER (IMO)]{.underline}**

The IMO will acknowledge receipt of the data within two days. The IMO
will then have a contractor compile the information onto a database.

Data will be compiled using the ODES format and passed through the ODES
QA/QC process (error checking). The compiled database will be passed to
the QA specialists (see below) for additional QA review and preparation
of the QA/QC abstract. The QA specialist will be responsible for
assessing the quality of the database on criteria established in the QA
plan and identifying which data should be flagged. The IMO will ensure
that the QA abstract and any data flags are incorporated into the
database(s). IMO will be responsible for loading the data onto the
Oracle Database at Region IX.

**[4.2 ORACLE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS)]{.underline}**

The Oracle DBMS, located at EPA Region IX, will integrate water quality,
water profiles, sediment chemistry, grain size, benthic infauna,
sediment toxicity, fish and invertebrate trawl data. It will reside on a
Data General (DG) UNIX workstation. This software contains tables,
screens and reporting utilities for all of the marine data types. The
programs consists of two components. The first is the underlying
database table and index structures. These define the way the data are
stored and manipulated. Included are coding schemes allowing dissimilar
data to be stored together and accessed through a common interface. The
second component is the application program, including data entry and
viewing, reporting and database administration. For data viewing, the
program contains a set of data screens customized for each data type.
These can be used to view the data, query for specific subsets using a
Query-By-Example technique and produce simple data output. For data
extraction, the Ad Hoc Query utility allows users to precisely define a
subset of the data and the format for the output without programming.
The pre-written programs automatically extract the data, performs the
necessary calculations and produces a report.

**[4.3 DOCUMENTATION AND RELEASE OF DATA]{.underline}**

Comprehensive documentation of information relevant to users of the
SCBPP IMS will be maintained and updated as necessary. Most of this
documentation will be accessible on-line, in databases which describe
and interact with the system. The documentation will include a database
dictionary, access control, and database directories (including
directory structures), code tables, and continuously-updated information
on field sampling events, sample tracking, and data availability.

A limited number of personnel will be authorized to make changes to the
SCBPP database. All changes will be carefully documented and controlled
by the IMO. Databases which are accessible to outside authorized users
will be available in "read only" form. Access to data by unauthorized
users will be limited through the use of standard UNIX security
procedures. Information on access rights to all SCBPP directories,
files, and databases will be provided to all potential users.

The release of data from the SCBPP IMS will occur on a graduated
schedule. Different classes of users will be given access to the data
only after it has passed a specified level of quality assurance review.
Each group will use the data on a restricted basis, under explicit
agreements with the Pilot Project Committee. The following four groups
are defined for access to data:

1.  The SCBPP members, including the information management team, the
    field coordinator, the SCBPP Project Manager, the QA Coordinator and
    the field crew chiefs.

2.  EMAP-Estuaries primary users - ERL-Narragansett personnel, ERL-Gulf
    Breeze personnel, NOAA EMAP-E personnel, and EMAP quality assurance
    personnel.

3.  EMAP data users - All other task groups within EPA, NOAA, and other
    federal, state and municipal agencies.

4.  General Public - University personnel and the research community.

Prior to release at level IV (general public), all files will be checked
and/or modified to assure that values contain the appropriate number of
significant figures. The purpose is to assure that the data released do
not imply greater accuracy than was realized. This will be especially
important in files where data were summarized. In such cases additional
figures beyond the decimal point may have been added by the statistical
program during averaging or other manipulations. It will be the
responsibility of the Quality Assurance Coordinator to determine the
appropriate number of significant figures for each measurement.

Requests for premature release of SCBPP data will be submitted to the
Information Management Team through the SCBPP Project Manager. The SCBPP
Information Manager and the Quality Assurance Coordinator, in
consultation with the SCBPP Manager, will determine if the data can be
released. The final authority on the release of all data is the SCBPP
Project Manager (Jeff Cross).
