Final Report September 1990 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region V Geographic Information Systems Management Office Environmental Sciences Division ------- **. UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY \ REGION 5 ° 230 SOUTH DEARBORN ST. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60604 REPLY TO THE ATTENTION OF: 5S To The Reader: I am delighted to provide you with the Final Report on the Ashtabula. Ohio Geographic Information Systems Demonstration Project. This project was designed and requested by Senior Staff of Region V as a basis, in part, for bringing GIS technology to the Region. The Final Report serves as a "primer" on GIS capabilities for future reference by program staff. In addition, the Final Report integrates and analyzes data from many different U.S. EPA programs. The publication of this report marks the end of the successful demonstration phase for GIS technology in Region V, and indeed the Geographic Information Systems Management Office has been performing analyses and providing products to the programs for the past year. My staff, in the GIS Management Office, looks forward to productive cooperation with the program staffs on future projects, especially projects that will use GIS to facilitate environmental decision- making in the programs.

A Geographic Information System (CIS) is the best available technology for managing these myriad data. Pollutants can be discharged to the area in surface water, ground water, air or on land. soil types largely determine the possible spread of contamination in ground water or as airborne particulates. Hydrography determines the potential dissemination of contaminants in surface water. Land use defines the potential exposure of the human population to the pollutants. The proximity of schools, homes for the elderly and drinking water supply sources is important to the estimation of human health risk associated with the pollutants. A CIS can manage, spatially relate, integrate and analyze all of these data. The purpose of this CIS demonstration project was as follows: (1) to demonstrate GIS capabilities to Region 5 program offices dealing with many different media; (2) to provide a set of data layers that could be used for the future management of the Ashtabula Area of Concern (AOC) and the Fields Brook National Priority List Superfund site; and (3) to provide a training exercise for the newly established GIS Management Office in Region 5 of the U.S. EPA. This project did not attempt to analyze all of the available data for a specific goal, such as the clean-up of a Superfund site. Rather, data from many different sources, and different types of analyses were chosen to specifically meet these goals. Future applications of GIS technology for management of the Superfund site or AOC would require that the Remedial Program Manager of the Superfund site or the Remedial Action Plan Coordinator of the AOC would guide more comprehensive data collection and analyses. However, these site managers could use all of the work performed for this demonstration project, and the now well developed capabilities of the GIS Management Office as the basis for the comprehensive management of the Superfund site and the Area of Concern. * The Plan of Study (EPA 1989) for this demonstration project included the Multi-media Environmental Actions Tracking System (MEATS). As noted in the Plan of Study, the inclusion of MEATS was dependent on additional funding and the "beta- testing" of MEATS by non-GIS personnel. Attempts to secure additional funding were unsuccessful and therefore MEATS was not included in this Final Report. ------- This Final Report was designed to serve the following functions: (1) to document the results of the Ashtabula CIS Demonstration Project; (2) to serve as an introduction to EPA managers of CIS capabilities; and (3) to provide examples of specific CIS analyses and display methods, that can be used as a reference guide by CIS "clients"; therefore, some discussion of basic CIS concepts and terminology is included in the text. ------- TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Geographic Information Systems 1 Ashtabula Area of Concern 1 Fields Brook National Priority List Superfund Site 2 DATA LAYERS 2 FIGURES 3 DATA DICTIONARY 3 CIS DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ASHTABULA AREA OF CONCERN Hydrography 4 Ecoregions and Soils 5 Ownership 5 Transport at i on 6 Land Use 6 Ownership and "Made Land" 6 Schools and Hospitals 7 Drinking Water Supply 7 Zip Codes f 8 Po 1 lut i on Dischargers ' 8 Sediment and Effluent Sampling Stations 9 Air Monitoring 9 Superfund Sites 9 RCRA Sites 10 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) 10 QA of TRI Data 10 Buffer Zones Around Selected Features 11 Triangulated irregular Network (TIN) 11 Color vs. Black-and-White Figures 12 SUMMARY 13 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 14 BIBLIOGRAPHY 15 FIGURES 17 * DATA DICTIONARY 47 APPENDIX I - EQUIPMENT USED FOR THIS STUDY 103 ------- INTRODUCTION Geographic Information Systems Geographic Information Systems provide data entry, storage, manipulation, analysis and display capabilities for geographic, environmental, cultural, statistical and political data in a common spatial framework. The data analyzed are a collection of spatial information (represented by points, lines and polygons) and their associated tabular and spatial attributes (characteristics of the features which the points, lines and polygons represent). The attributes associated with these spatial data may include ownership information, chemical characteristics or land use activities. Sources of data for GISs include maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, census data, field measurements, etc. These data may be in digital format or on paper. GISs are fully integrated systems that analyze and map spatial data and provide graphic and tabular products. CIS technology bridges the disciplines of geography, computer science, information management, cartography, environmental science and environmental management. The GIS is distinguished from other computer systems by its ability to perform spatial analyses. A GIS has five major components as follows: (1) Hardware - used to store, process and display digital map data; (2) Software - performs GIS operations; (3) Digital Map Data - which is manipulated with the GIS; (4) Procedures - followed to perform various operations; and (5) Expertise - the people who provide the intelligence to use the system. While not strictly a part of a GIS, a 6th component is necessary for the successful use of GIS by the EPA - people in media specific programs to design projects and formulate hypotheses to be tested using GIS. Ashtabula Area of Concern The City of Ashtabula is in Ashtabula County, Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie. The Ashtabula River near its entrance to Lake Erie has been contaminated with heavy metals, chlorinated organic compounds, PCBs and oxygen consuming pollutants. Eighteen industries and one wastewater treatment plant discharge to the Area of Concern (AOC) as designated by the International Joint Commission of Canada and the United States (IJC). Fish consumption advisories for the lower river and Ashtabula harbor have been issued due to PCBs and toxic organic chemicals in fish tissue. Ground water near Fields Brook and the lower Ashtabula River has been contaminated by past disposal practices and landfills. Clearly the ground water, surface water and sediments of the lower Ashtabula River may pose a substantial health risk to the local populace ------- and may be impairing ecosystem function. Several different approaches to the clean-up of the lower Ashtabula River are simultaneously occurring. The U.S. EPA Superfund Program is concentrating on Fields Brook, the state of Ohio is developing a Remedial Action Plan for the AOC, U.S. EPA's NPDES permit process has improved the quality of the effluent that continues to be discharged, and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (COE) proposes to dredge some contaminated sediments from Ashtabula Harbor. Fields Brook National Priority List Superfund Site Fields Brook, a tributary to the lower Ashtabula River, is a Superfund site due primarily to sediments contaminated by toxic pollutants. The contaminants include chlorobenzene; l ,1, l-trichloroethane; l, 1, 2-trichloroethane; 1,1- dichloroethene; tetrachloroethene; trichloroethene; vinyl chloride; hexachloroethane; hexachlorobutadiene; toluenediamine; toluene diisocyanate; 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene; hexachlobenzene; PCBs; zinc; mercury; lead; chromium and titanium. Because of the possibility of direct contact with the sediment, movement of the contaminated sediment into the Ashtabula River and Lake Erie, possible movement of contaminants into the public water supply of the City of Ashtabula, and the possibility of uncontrolled releases of hazardous materials from the sediment, the site was included on the National Priority List of Superfund sites. DATA LAYERS One way to organize data in a CIS is as thematic "data layers". These data layers can be thought of as a series of transparent map overlays, each for a specific feature such as streams, roads, wells or soils. — CIS FYI A data layer is a digital representation of spatial and tabular information. In ARC/INFO, tne Agency standard GIS, data layers are referred to as 'coverages'. For example, a point coverage of Toxic Release inventory (TRI) facilities may include a map with each facility represented by a point and a table for eacn facility witft the amount of chemical pollutants reported. This coverage vouid allow the mapping of all facilities with a specific discharge of a particular pollutant. ------- FIGURES The spatial information from data layers can be displayed on 'maps' either by itself or combined and integrated with other data layers. The data features are characterized as points (single locations), lines (multiple locations which are topologically consistent), polygons (areas of homogeneous features) , annotation (graphic text) , or combinations of the above. The tabular or attribute information in relation to the spatial information is used to graphically delineate and symbolize data features. All figures are in numerical order at the end of the text. These figures consist of maps produced at two different scales, each appropriate to the data being displayed. The large scale maps, at a scale of 1:29,230, are limited by the boundaries of the Ashtabula AOC (Ohio EPA 1990). The latitude and longitude (degrees and minutes) are indicated on the edges of the AOC boundary. The small scale maps, at a scale of 1:315,590, encompass all of Ashtabula County and parts of adjacent counties in Ohio and Pennsylvania. This scale permits the mapping of features that extend beyond the AOC boundary. With the ARC/INFO software, the GIS* Analyst has the ability to display data, with reference to geography, data scale and feature delineation. Maps and features can ;be presented at any physical size, with many colors and many customized user-generated symbols. Examples in the Ashtabula project display only a few of these capabilities, DATA DICTIONARY The importance of maintaining a data dictionary or data documentation is critical to any CIS project. The general goal of data documentation is to provide reviewers and potential users a history of the data and a means to determine the viability and integrity of the data. Constructive data documentation persists despite system, personnel and administrative changes. The most critical elements of data layer description, data layer source information and data layer quality information have been included in this report. The Data Dictionary for each coverage is in alphabetical order at the end of the text. ------- GIS FYI For the Ashtabula project several specialised programs were developed to input, update, display and query (51S data documentation. The data layer description provides an explanation of the data, its type and areal extent. The data layer source information indicates the original source of the data (reports, maps, offices, conversations etc.), original data scale and dates of the source and automation, The data layer quality information is a subjective but important account by the GIS Analyst of the accuracy, integrity and reliability of the data. CIS DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ASHTABULA AREA OF CONCERN Hydrography Hydrography describes the location and direction of flow (if any) of surface waters. Many different maps of the AOC show portions of the Ashtabula River or Fields Brook. Digital data are available at two different scales, 1:2,000,000 and 1:100,000 from the USGS as Digital Line Graphs (DLGs). The 1:2M data are too coarse for this large scale study. The l:100K hydrography data provide the Lake Erie shoreline and the Ashtabula River in Figure 1 and the baseline hydrography in many of the other figures. Paper maps for the AOC provide larger scale hydrography with greater detail than the 1:100K DLGs. Hydrography from four different sources (USGS 1978; USGS 1979; CH2M HILL 1987; Woodward-Clyde 1990) was digitized and combined in Figure 1, to provide a spatial definition of the hydrography of the AOC far superior to any previous document. Figure 1.1 provides some of the details about the types of features mapped on Figure 1. The reader interested in details of features and data sources should refer to the Data Dictionary for a description of each coverage named on a figure. GIS FYI Figure 1 provides an example of a combination arc and polygon coverage. It also demonstrates the ability of GIS to integrate data by simply overlaying data from different sources. The ecoregion coverage (Figure 2) is an example of data sharing between different offices within EPA. ------- Ecoregions and Soils A map of the ecoregions of the Upper Midwest States was compiled by the USEPA Environmental Research Lab in Corvallis (Omernik and Gallant 1988). The ecoregions represent areas that are relatively homogeneous in patterns of combinations of factors including land use, land-surface form, potential natural vegetation and soils. Figure 2 indicates that the AOC is all in one ecoregion according to the Corvallis delineation. By comparing Figure 3, the detailed Soils map for Ashtabula County (USDA 1973), with Figure 2, it becomes apparent that the soils in the AOC are far from homogeneous. Clearly the data collected for these two maps were designed to address very different goals. The data that are appropriate to use for decision-making are dependent on the specific question being asked. GIS FYI Figures 2 and 3 provide examples of polygon coverages. These figures highlight tne importance of study design prior to data collection. Further, when using existing data, icnowiedge of the scale and purpose of those data is mandatory for data interpretation, Ownership Land ownership is dynamic. The ownership shown in Figure 4 is the result of an aerial photo interpretation (EMSL-LV 1985). If the goal of a project were to create a series of maps showing historical land ownership, GIS would be the perfect tool for the job. GIS FYI A GIS can utilize data from many sources that already exist in EPA, such as aerial photos and remote sensing data from EMSL and EPIC* ------- Transportation Roads, railroads and pipelines (Figures 5 and 6) provide references for locating other map features. They also allow the potential analysis of risk associated the accidental spill of materials in transport. These figures (5 and 6) were produced from digital data purchased from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). GIS FYI< Digital Line Graphs (DLGS) are available from tne tfSGS at several different scales - 1:2,000,000; 1:250,000; 1;100,000; and 1:24/000, Many different data are available *- hydrography, transportation, census tracts, etc. However, availability of these data nationally Is very Incomplete. Land Use A description of the land use in a defined geographic area may serve many functions. A crude risk analysis could use the land use in Figure 7 to determine the proximity of residential areas to industrial areas. However, as with all data, the source and scale must be considered. The data used to produce Figure 7 were from 1973 and were produced at a scale of 1:250,000. These data are old and perhaps too coarse for a detailed risk assessment in the AOC. These land use data are from the USGS Geographic information Retrieval and Analysis System (GI&&S) , another source of digital data from a federal agency. Ownership and "Made Land" On Figure 3, the classification "Ma" indicates "made land". Made land consists of areas of earth fill, of borrow pits, and of areas where much of the soil surface is covered by streets, homes, factories or docks. in all of these areas, the original soils have been greatly altered (USDA Soil Conservation Service 1973). An immediate question that arises is - who made that land? By combining soils and ownership data into Figure 8, it becomes apparent that some of the industrial owners occupy a large percentage of the "made land". This analysis starts the complete inquiry into the question of who made that land. ------- GIS FYI None of the data used for the analysis shown in Figure 8 came in digital format. Paper maps were manually digitized on a digitizing tablet and attributes were assigned to each polygon!by the analyst. Schools and Hospitals Part of a risk assessment is determining the population exposed. Children, the elderly and the ill are high risk populations for some types of exposure. Figure 9 shows the location of schools, hospitals, day care centers and senior care facilities in the Ashtabula AOC. The location of points, such as schools, on a map is only part of: a Gis coverage. The other part is: a database that contains information about the point. For the school coverage, the database contains enrollment figures* that would allow the GIS analyst to interactively identify a school and the GIS would respond with the enrollment data. Drinking Water Supply The proximity of drinking water supply sources to pollutant dischargers or in-place contaminants is important in determining the pathway of exposure in risk assessment. Figures 10 and 11 show the drinking water supply sources in the AOC and in Ashtabula County. GIS FYI These data are from EPA's Federal Reporting Data system (FRDS)* AH databases maintained by the EPA should strive to contain actual locationai coordinates for the facility, wen, stack, etc, which is being described. County or zip code centroids are not adequate and Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) should become part of the tool kit of all field personnel collecting data to be entered into any EPA database. ------- 8 Zip Codes The zip code areas in Ashtabula County are shown in Figure 12. These can be used as a cross-reference with the county name or locational coordinates to provide a Quality Assurance check on the locational coordinates. GIS FYI This zip code coverage was purchased from a private vendor. There are many vendors creating digital data for use with <3i$s* In addition to off-the-shelf data, many vendors will create custom coverages* These services are expensive, but they do provide Mgh quality data and relatively short turn-around times when contract money is in greater supply than Pollution Dischargers Figure 13 shows the location of municipal and industrial dischargers in the AOC. It also shows the location of the STORET sampling stations in the AOC. 'with the high concentration of dischargers in the AOC, perhaps more STORET sampling stations should be monitoring water quality. GIS FYI The ability of GIS to perform a quality assurance check on locational data is also shown in Figure 13. The Cleveland Electrical Co. (CLEVE ELEC) is actually located on the shore of Lake Erie, but the Permit Compliance System (PCS) data places it in the southeast corner of the AOC* This error was apparent only because of the ability of a GIS to integrate and compare data from different sources. ------- Sediment and Effluent Sampling Stations Figure 14 shows the location of the sampling stations used during the scoping effort on the Fields Brook NPL site (CH2M HILL 1987). A comparison of this figure with Figures 1 and 4 indicates that many of the surface water bodies and land owners did not have sampling stations. CIS FYI A GIB could help design a sampling network that would insure adequate sampling near important features. For example, a GIB could answer -the following cjuestions (i) Are all i&entified water bodies being sampled? <2) Are all property owners being sampled? (3) Are enough samples being taken near sc&ools, hospitals, etc, Air Monitoring As seen in Figure 15, there are no Aerometric Information Reporting System (AIRS) monitoring stations in the AOC, and there are only two in Ashtabula County. CIS FYI The integration of data from different media programs is one of the main strengths of <3IS. If all of the air, water, sediment and biota sampling stations were overlaid with high priority sites (such as NPL sites), all programs would benefit from a more comprehensive and integrated sampling network. Superfund Sites There are 46 Superfund sites (not all National Priority List, NPL, sites) in Ashtabula County and 15 of those are in the AOC. Figure 16 and 17 map all of these sites as points. Clearly, many of the sites have the same coordinates in CERCLIS, the Superfund database; and many of the coordinates are incorrect. In CERCLIS, the Fields Brook NPL site is in Lake Erie. GIS FYI When errors in locationai data are found by Region 5 <3IS analysts, the error and often the correct coordinates are reported to the appropriate database manager for correction. Thus, all database users benefit from the QA check performed by a CIS. ------- 10 RCRA Sites The RCRA database is the Hazardous Waste Data Management System (HWDMS). While HWDMS has fields defined for latitude and longitude, only 19 of 161 records for Ashtabula County had coordinate values in those fields. Since the city of Ashtabula is not a Standard Metropolitan Area (SMA), as defined by the Bureau of census, coordinates can not be assigned to the addresses using TIGER files. The RCRA program has recognized the utility of latitude and longitude by including fields in the national database but clearly the reporting of coordinates has not become mandatory for RCRA facilities. The addition of coordinates to HWDMS would make these data much more useful in future analyses involving CIS. Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) TRI facilities in the AOC are mapped in Figure 18. In addition to a point representing the location of the facility, a shaded circle around each facility is exponentially proportional in size to the total amount of chemical release or transfer reported by that facility in 1988. GIS FYI Figure 18 highlights the GIS ability to display tabular data graphically. Often a graphic display of data receives more attention than a table of numbers. OA of TRI data Since this demonstration project mapped actual ownership boundaries, the locational errors in the TRI database were readily apparent (Figure 19). These errors have been reported to the national TRI database manager. ------- 11 Buffer Zones Around Selected Features Places that people congregate should receive emphasis during a risk assessment. Figure 20 displays 100 meter and 500 meter buffer zones around schools, hospitals, day care centers and senior care facilities. Using this coverage and the sampling station coverage (Figure 14), the CIS analyst could determine how many sampling stations are within the buffer zones. Or, using the buffer coverage and the TRI release coverage (Figure 18), the analyst could determine if significant releases of toxic chemicals had occurred in the buffer zones. GIS FYI— Analyses such, as suggested above, using tne buffer coverage, are relatively simple GIS functions once the coverages are built. However, GIS analysts are not specialists in the Sally functions of EPA's media programs and meaningful analyses must be guided by media program staff. Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) A TIN is a method of displaying three-dimensional data. Since volumes are 3-D data, TIN can be used to analyze volume data also. Figure 21 displays the population of Ohio as a TIN. GIS FYI While TINs provide eye-catching displays, they are not always appropriate for the data to £e displayed. For example, should population peaks be "smoothed" from county to county, or are population peaks really discreet "spikes" in only a small portion of the county? The GIS analyst can help media program staff choose the most effective and accurate analysis and display of media program data. ------- 12 Color vs. Black—and-White Figures Color graphics are easily produced by CIS and provide a more readily understood map with higher information content, as can be seen by comparing Figures 1,3 and 7 with Figures 22, 23 and 24. However, the production and reproduction of color graphics are expensive and most reports that will be widely distributed still depend on black-and-white graphics for economic reasons. Large maps or presentation graphics are presently the most viable use for color graphics. GISMO has been trying to acquire a color electrostatic plotter for Region 5 which would make color graphics much more accessible. ------- 13 SUMMARY Demonstration Project Educational Value The primary goals of this project were to demonstrate CIS capabilities to Region 5 program offices and to provide a training exercise for the newly established Geographic Information Systems Management Office (GISMO). These goals were more than fulfilled by this project. Data were used from many different sources and in many different formats; many different analyses were performed; all of the major modules of the software were used; and the basics of database design and documentation were invoked. In addition, contact was made with many media program staff and state personnel. The utility of this project to other offices in EPA is apparent in several cases. The necessity for better coordinate data has been strongly noted by several EPA database managers. Several Remedial Program Managers (RPMs) are now acutely aware of the need to have CIS personnel help design site plans for the collection of data. These RPMs are now also insisting on electronic copies of data and reports from contractors, whereas in the past only paper or microfilm copies were available.This final report was written to serve as an introduction to CIS for media program staff. The value of this report as a primer and reference on CIS capabilities will not be known until after distribution. We hope the readers will provide suggestions and comments. The following important lessons were learned during this demonstration project: (l) All CIS demonstration projects need a clear client to guide the study. (2) Demonstration projects need clear, well-defined modest goals. Each coverage should provide a stand-alone product or display of a CIS capability. (3) EPA should insist that all contractors provide their reports and data to EPA in an electronic format. „ (4) Zip code and county name do not provide adequate locational data. (5) Street addresses are of little value unless the site is in a Standard Metropolitan Area (SMA) for which a TIGER file is available; and even then extracting coordinates using address-matching is a painstaking process. ------- 14 (6) AH field inspectors collecting data to be used by EPA need to use a GPS as part of their routine inspection. (7) EPA needs to select a standard locational data format as much as EPA needs locational data accuracy standards. (8) EPA needs Arc/Info coverage documentation standards to facilitate coverage sharing and to prevent obsolescence of coverages. Future Use of the Coverages Developed These coverages will be used to help evaluate the field sampling conducted on the Fields Brook NPL site in the spring of 1990. The future management of the NPL site may make extensive use of these coverages and of CIS. These coverages will be exported and provided to the USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office and the State of Ohio for use in the management of the Ashtabula Area of Concern. A future risk assessment of the Ashtabula area may be performed in conjunction with the Office of Health and Environmental Assessment and a sponsoring program office.

Extent: Ashtabula Area of Concern (AOC), Ashtabula, Ohio Project Name: Ashtabula Demonstration Data Source Information Source: The Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of Ashtabula County, Ohio. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed during the period of 1953-64. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1967. The Soil Survey report was issued in 1973 and contains sheets or plates of soil boundaries and types drafted upon unrectified aerial photos. Source Scale: 1:15840 Source Date: 12/31/73 Automation Date: 7/ 5/90 Data Quality Information Quality Report for SOILS The soil survey of Ashtabula County within the Ashtabula AOC boundary was d digitized on a Calcomp 9100 series digitizing table. The minimum four tics used to orient the soil survey sheets were extracted from exact and known node coordinates (road intersections) of the 1:100,000 converted DLG data. RMS values during the automation averaged 0.010. This high value is related to digitizing from the 'unstable' paper soil survey sheets. A hardcopy plot was quality controlled and rectified with the soil survey sheets and 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. For More Information Contact: Dawn E. McWha CIS Management Office 536 S. Clark St..
