Description
and
Version
Number:
The
Environmental
Monitoring
and
Assessment
Program
(
EMAP)
is
a
research
program
that
focuses
on
developing
the
tools
necessary
to
monitor
and
assess
the
status
and
trends
of
national
ecological
resources.
Research
is
conducted
on
various
ecosystems
(
e.
g.,
estuaries,
forests,
rangelands,
lakes,
etc.).
Although
analytical
data
are
available
for
estuaries
and
surface
waters,
relevant
analyses
were
conducted
on
fish
tissue
and
estuary
sediment
only.
Other
media
have
been
analyzed
(
e.
g.,
pH,
total
suspended
solids,
salinity).
Three
separate
data
sets
are
available
for
estuary
sediments:
the
Virginia
Province,
the
Louisiana
Province,
and
the
Carolina
Province.
There
are
three
different
analyte
lists
(
with
some
overlap)
depending
on
the
province
from
which
the
samples
were
collected
(
see
Appendix
A
for
a
list
of
analytes
and
Appendix
C
for
a
description
of
the
areas
sampled).
Sediment
samples
were
collected
in
only
18
states,
covering
five
EPA
regions,
at
various
times
between
1990
and
1997,
and
there
are
more
than
114,000
data
points.

An
example
of
sediment
data
available
is
provided
in
Appendix
B.
Appendix
D
provides
a
description
and
structure
of
the
fields
available
in
the
EMAP
database.

Explanation
of
Level
of
Effort
Estimate:
Three
separate
data
sets
are
available
for
estuary
sediments:
Virginia
Province,
Louisiana
Province,
and
Carolina
Province.
See
Appendix
C
for
dates
and
areas
represented
by
the
three
data
sets.
Except
for
the
Carolina
Province,
there
are
separate
files
for
each
year;
thus,
there
are
nine
files
in
total.

Data
Quality
(
peer
review
or
other
data
quality
indicators):
There
are
extensive
field
and
laboratory
QA/
QC
procedures
that
are
observed
during
the
collection
and
analysis
of
the
samples,
including
the
collection
and/
or
analysis
of
the
following
QA/
QC
samples:
blanks,
calibration
check
standards,
MS/
MSD,
and
Laboratory
Control
Material.
See
notes
in
Appendix
B
for
a
list
of
QA/
QC
codes.

Data
Limitations:
Samples
were
collected
in
only
18
states
(
AL,
CT,
DC,
DE,
FL,
GA,
LA,
MA,
MD,
MS,
NC,
NJ,
NY,
PA,
RI,
SC,
TX,
and
VA)
covering
EPA
regions
1,
2,
3,
4,
and

There
is
no
single
year
in
which
samples
were
collected
in
all
18
states.

Description
and
Version
Number:
Since
1995,
NASQAN
of
the
U.
S.
Geological
Survey
(
USGS)
has
focused
on
monitoring
the
water
quality
of
four
of
the
nation's
largest
river
systems:
the
Mississippi,
the
Columbia,
the
Colorado,
and
the
Rio
Grande.
A
network
of
40
stations
monitor
the
concentration
of
a
broad
range
of
chemicals
including
50
pesticides
and
32
major
ions
and
trace
elements.
Table
1
in
Appendix
A
contains
a
list
of
relevant
analytes.
Appendix
B
contains
a
copy
of
the
data
collected
at
one
of
the
40
monitoring
stations.
Appendix
C
is
a
statistical
summary
of
the
data
completed
by
NASQAN,
including
minimum
concentration,
maximum
concentration,
median
concentration,
and
number
of
detections
of
a
particular
contaminant.

The
primary
goals
of
NASQAN
are
to
characterize
large
sub­
basins
of
these
rivers,
to
determine
regional
source
areas
for
these
materials,
and
to
assess
the
effects
of
human
influences
on
observed
concentrations
and
amounts
of
these
materials.
USGS
uses
NASQAN
data
to
develop
and
compare
constituent
mass
fluxes
(
i.
e.,
the
amount
of
material
that
passes
through
a
station
expressed
as
tons
per
day)
among
stations
and
across
spatial
miles.

Data
for
years
1996­
1997
are
available
for
37
of
the
40
sampling
stations.
The
complete
data
set
includes
date,
time,
and
analyte
concentration;
the
statistical
summary
includes
percent
detections,
minimum,
maximum,
and
median
concentrations
for
each
analyte
during
the
complete
sampling
period.
The
summary
data
may
be
helpful
in
determining
the
probability
and
level
of
exposure
to
a
particular
analyte.
Provisional
data
for
1998­
1999
are
also
available;
however,
these
data
are
subject
to
revision
and
are
not
to
be
cited.

were
collected
in
order
to
evaluate
the
quality
of
sampling
data.

Data
Limitations:
NASQAN
data
do
not
characterize
ambient
water
quality
throughout
the
United
States,
rather
the
data
characterize
four
river
basins
and
sub­
basins.
One
of
the
primary
goals
of
NASQAN
is
to
allow
USGS
to
calculate
the
mass
flux
of
contaminants,
rather
than
simply
stream
characterization.

NAWQA
program,
which
began
in
1991,
is
designed
to
describe
the
status
and
trends
in
the
quality
of
the
nation's
groundwater
and
surface
water
resources.
There
are
59
areas
("
study
units")
being
studied
and
sampled
(
see
Appendix
A).
A
study
unit
1)
is
a
major
hydrologic
system
in
which
NAWQA
studies
are
focused,
2)
is
geographically
defined
by
a
combination
of
groundwater
and
surface
water
features,
and
3)
usually
encompasses
more
than
10,000
square
miles.
Data
collected
from
all
study
units
are
combined
and,
in
addition
to
information
from
other
programs,
agencies,
and
researchers,
are
used
to
produce
a
national
assessment
or
"
national
synthesis".

Currently
data
are
available
for
only
20
of
the
59
study
units;
however,
the
20
study
units
for
which
data
are
available
are
located
throughout
the
country
and
represent
all
ten
EPA
regions.
Data
for
the
remaining
study
units
were
expected
to
be
available
sometime
in
2002.

NAWQA
data
are
available
for
76
pesticides,
7
pesticide
degradation
products,
and
7
fumigants
(
groundwater
only)
analyzed
in
8,500
groundwater
and
surface
water
samples
collected
during
1992
through
1996
in
20
study
units
(
see
APPENDICES
C
and
D).
Preliminary
(
i.
e.,
subject
to
change)
summary
data
also
are
available
for
60
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs)
analyzed
in
1,600
groundwater
and
surface
water
samples
collected
during
1991
through
1995
in
20
study
units
(
see
Appendix
D).
Appendix
E
provides
a
list
of
all
analytes
included
in
NAWQA.

Although
summary
data
also
are
available,
USGS
emphasizes
that

summary
of
the
NAWQA
pesticide
results."

Preliminary
(
i.
e.,
subject
to
change)
summary
data
also
are
available
for
60
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOCs)
analyzed
in
1,600
groundwater
and
surface
water
samples
collected
during
1991
through
1995
in
20
study
units
(
see
Appendix
D
for
an
example
of
the
data
available).
Appendix
E
provides
a
list
of
all
analytes
included
in
NAWQA.

The
study
units
are
distributed
throughout
the
nation
and
more
than
two­
thirds
of
the
people
served
by
public
water­
supply
systems
live
within
the
boundaries
of
the
59
study
units;
thus,
NAWQA
is
representative
of
the
potential
exposure
of
the
entire
country
(
see
Appendix
A
for
the
location
of
the
59
study
units).

Data
Quality
(
peer
review
or
other
data
quality
indicators):
The
similar
design
of
each
investigation
and
use
of
standard
methods
allows
for
comparisons
among
the
results
measured
at
the
various
study
units.
All
ground
water
samples
are
analyzed
at
the
USGS's
National
Water
Quality
Laboratory.
Quality
control
check
samples
are
run
daily.

Data
Limitations:
Currently
data
are
available
for
only
20
of
the
59
study
units.
Data
for
most
of
the
remaining
study
units
are
expected
to
be
by
2002.
Because
of
the
limited
number
of
study
units
where
samples
have
been
collected,
the
data
do
not
represent
a
good
portion
of
the
nation's
water
resources;
however,
the
20
study
units
in
which
samples
were
collected
are
located
throughout
the
country
in
36
states
(

representing
all
ten
EPA
regions
(
see
Appendix
A).
Also,
to
date,
VOC
data
are
provisional
and
subject
to
revision,
and
for
VOC
analyses,
only
summary
data
are
available.
USGS
emphasizes
that
the
studies
conducted
at
the
various
study
units
are
not
designed
to
produce
a
statistically
representative
analysis
of
national
water
quality
conditions.

All
compounds
denoted

than
other
compounds
and
usually
much
lower
recoveries.

Individual

code
have
greater
uncertainty
because
the

Description

The
Water
Resources
Development
Act
of
1992
directed
EPA,
in
consultation
with
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration
(
NOAA)
and
the
U.
S.
Army
Corp
of
Engineers
(
USACE)
to
conduct
a
national
survey
of
data
regarding
the
quality
of
sediments
in
the
United
States.
To
comply
with
WRDA
mandate,
EPA's
Office
of
Science
and
Technology
initiated
the
National
Sediment
Inventory
(
NSI).
The
objective
of
the
NSI
fish
tissue
residues
studies
was
to
assist
in
the
assessment
of
sediment
quality.
The
tissue
data
was
used
in
conjunction
with
sediment
chemistry,
sediment
toxicity,
community
structure,
tissue
chemistry,
and
pathology
to
assess
the
sediment
quality.
The
tissue
residue
monitoring
assesses
potential
adverse
effects
on
humans
from
the
consumption
of
fish.

Data
collected
by
a
wide
variety
of
federal,
state,
regional,
local,
and
other
monitoring
programs
from
1980­
1993
are
available
in
Version
2.1.
NSI
fish
tissue
data
are
available
from
five
of
the
data
sources
in
NSI
(
STORET,
ODES,
Great
Lakes,
DMATS,
and
EMAP).
It
includes
over
300,000
records
for
over
7,000
monitoring
stations
from
across
the
country.
An
update
of
data
through
1998
is
scheduled
for
completion
in
late
1999.

Data
from
1980
­
1993
related
to
more
than
190
different
chemicals
or
chemical
groups
were
included
in
the
NSI
evaluation
of
tissue
residue.

Summary
tables
are
provided
on­
line
for
specific
chemicals
responsible
for
a
preselected
group
of
sampling
stations
These
tables
present
the
total
number
of
observations,
the
mean
and
median
of
all
observations,
the
number
of
detected
observations,
and
the
maximum
and
minimum
concentration
of
detected
observations
for
the
watershed.
However,
these
summary
tables
have
not
been
prepared
for
all
chemicals
nor
do
they
include
data
from
all
sampling
stations.

Data
Quality
(
peer
review
or
other
data
quality
indicators):
The
minimum
requirements
for
inclusion
in
the
NSI
data
were
monitoring
program,
sampling
date,
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates,
and
measured
units.
Additional
data
fields
such
as
quality
assurance/
quality
control
information
were
retained
if
available,
but
were
not
required
for
a
data
set
to
be
included
in
the
NSI.
Data
Limitations:
The
NSI
does
not
evenly
represent
all
geographic
regions
nor
do
the
data
represent
a
consistent
set
of
monitored
chemicals,
species,
or
tissues.
The
NSI
is
intended
to
identify
those
sediments
which
are
contaminated;
therefore,
uncontaminated
areas
are
most
likely
under­
represented.
Additional
limitations
of
the
compiled
data
include
the
mixture
of
data
sets
derived
from
different
sampling
strategies,
incomplete
sampling
coverage,
the
age
and
quality
of
the
data,
and
the
lack
of
measurement
of
important
assessment
parameters.
Because
the
data
analyzed
in
this
report
were
collected
over
a
relatively
long
period
of
time,
the
conditions
may
have
improved
or
worsened
since
the
sediment
was
sampled.
