SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

Over a thousand water bodies in the 

United States are listed by states as 

biologically impaired. For many of these 

sites, the cause of impairment is 

reported as ‘‘unknown.’’ To formulate 

appropriate management actions for 

impaired water bodies, it is important to 

identify the causes of biological 

impairment (e.g., excess fine sediments, 

nutrients, or toxic substances). Effective 

causal analyses call for knowledge of 

the mechanisms, symptoms, and 

stressor-response relationships for 

various stressors, as well as the ability 

to use that knowledge to draw 

appropriate, defensible conclusions. To 

aid in these causal analyses, NCEA 

developed CADDIS. CADDIS is a Webbased decision support system that will 

help regional, state, and tribal scientists 

find, access, organize, and share 

information useful for causal 

evaluations of impairment in aquatic 

systems. It is based on EPA’s Stressor 

Identification process, which is an EPArecommended method for identifying 

causes of impairments in aquatic 

environments. EPA released the first 

version of CADDIS earlier in 2006, after 

addressing comments from the public 

and independently selected peer 

reviewers. Current features of CADDIS 

include a step-by-step guide to 

conducting causal analysis, 

downloadable worksheets and 

examples, a library of conceptual 

models, and links to useful information 

sources. Additional information is being 

added to the CADDIS Web site in 

preparation for release of a major 

revision in September 2007. The review 

announced here is the first of two sets 

of modules added to the CADDIS Web 

site. Specifically, comment is invited on 

information on six candidate causes: 

metals, sediments, nutrients, dissolved 

oxygen, thermal alteration, and ionic 

strength. Since its release, CADDIS has 

become a valuable resource for EPA, 

state, tribal, and local risk assessors. 

CADDIS 2007 will add more capabilities 

to this already important diagnostic 

tool.
