INTRODUCTION
This directory presents national, regional, state, and local sources of
environmental and socioeconomic baseline information covering the six
states of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Region V
(Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin). The purpose
of this directory is to provide those EPA, state and local officials that
are involved in the environmental review of wastewater treatment projects
under the Construction Grants Program with information on sources of
environmental data. This information can then be used to assist in the
development and review of environmental inventory documents (EIDs),
environmental assessments (EAs), or environmental impact statements (EISs).
The information presented in this directory is also intended to be used by
public officials in the development and review of other programs carried
out by EPA Region V and the six participating state agencies. The data
sources cover a variety of topical areas, enabling them to be utilized in a
number of different ways. For example, as a reference tool, this directory
summarizes and highlights the primary data sources that can typically be
used to prepare environmental review documents, including EIDs, EAs and
EISs. This directory also is intended, in some instances, to provide
guidance as to the type of information that should be included in such
documents, although the level of detail required in a particular environ-
mental review document will vary depending on the nature of the project
under examination and the type of document being prepared.
The organization of this directory reflects the categories generally
addressed in the environmental review documents prepared under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA):
Earth resources and atmosphere (topography, geology, soils,
prime and unique agricultural lands, air quality, climate)
Water resources (surface water and groundwater hydrology,
quality and use, flood hazard areas)
-------
Biological resources (aquatic biology, wildlife, wetlands,
forests, endangered species)
Socioeconomics (population, housing, land use, community
finances)
Cultural resources (historical, archaeological, architec-
tural).
In each of the above categories, data sources and descriptions are given
first on national and regional levels, and then separately for each state
and other local sources. Proceeding the categorized sources is a section
detailing more broadly-based information sources including computerized
databases.
It should be noted that occasionally a category, such as floodplains, may
be addressed by data sources in more than one topic area. In such cases,
this document provides cross references for the reader in order to ensure
that a thorough presentation of sources is available. Chapter I describes
general data sources which have information on virtually all specific
categories, therefore, no cross referencing for these general sources is
needed.
-------
I. GENERAL DATA SOURCES
A. EPA REGIONAL LIBRARY, STATE LIBRARIES, AND MAJOR REFERENCE LIBRARIES
The EPA Regional Library, located in Chicago, was esblished in 1971 to
provide needed environmental information resources for the six states in
Region V, as well as the Great Lakes Basin, Ohio River Basin, and the Upper
Mississippi River Basin. Listed below are the general categories of
materials available:
Legal (includes the U.S. Code, Public Laws, Code of Federal
Regulations, EPA Legal Compilations, Congressional/Legis-
lative materials, and State Laws)
Technical Reports and Documents (includes EPA reports,
Environmental Impact Statements, Nuclear Plant Reports, and
Air Pollution Technical Information Center materials)
Reference materials
Journals (approximately 400 listings)
Books (approximately 2,500 titles).
The Region V Library shares resources with many other libraries and EPA
facilities through its interlibrary loan program. The library's address
is:
US Environmental Protection Agency
Region V Library
230 S. Dearborn St.
Chicago, IL 60604
312/353-2022
Each state in the United States maintains an official state library. The
state library acts as a depository of Federal government publications,
state legislative information and regulations, historical records, and data
on localities within each state. State librarians also provide valuable
guidance by advising individuals of other sources of available data. Major
reference libraries in communities throughout each state are also useful
-------
sources of site-specific data. Most state libraries provide on-line
searching of computerized bibliographic databases, and share the facilities
of other libraries through regional reference and information networks.

B. THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION SERVICE (NTIS)
5285 Port Royal Rd.
Springfield, VA 22161
703/487-4600
The National Technical Information Service (NTIS), an agency of the US
Department of Commerce, is the central source for the public sale of US
government-sponsored research, development, and engineering reports as well
as other publications prepared by national and local government agencies
and their contractors or grantees. The core of the NTIS information system
is a collection of more than a million different technical reports on
completed government research, all permanently available in the form of
film, paper, or magnetic tape. Full summaries of current research reports
and other specialized information are published regularly by NTIS in a
variety of formats, including weekly newsletters, a bi-weekly journal, and
an annual index.
The NTIS bibliographic database comprises the bibliographic citations or
research summaries of the approximately 70,000 technical reports announced
annually. This database is the machine-readable version of the printed
subscription journal, Government Reports Announcements and Index (GRAI).
Searches of the NTIS database, as well as the other databases listed in
this section, can be performed at nominal cost in most of the State and
major reference libraries. Searches can be conducted for specific informa-
tion either by identifying the author or title and date, or by identifying
a particular category. In the latter case, the search is conducted by
covering certain key words associated with that category. For example, to
obtain information on the effects of onsite wastewater treatment systems on
lake water quality, a search could be conducted using key words such as:
water quality, onsite systems, septic tanks, lake eutrophicatlon, nutrient
dispersion, algal blooms, etc.
In addition, NTIS also publishes a weekly "Abstract Newsletter on Environ-
mental Pollution and Control." This publication provides abstracts on
recently published reports in the areas of air pollution, noise pollution,
-------
solid wastes, water pollution, pesticides, radiation, environmental health
and safety, general environmental topics and recently issued environmental
impact statements.
The NTIS maintains a Local Government Credit Plan under which no advance
funds are necessary for local governments to obtain credit and immediate
shipments of NTIS products and services. Upon receipt of the special
credit account application (PR-220, free on request), NTIS will mail a
supply of preaddressed order forms bearing a special account number. These
forms also will show a "ship to" address, if one is required.
Subsequently, orders will be processed directly into the NTIS automated
system. Although the price of documents obtained from NTIS varies
considerably, most NTIS products cost between $7 and $40. In general, the
delivery time for material ordered from NTIS is one to two weeks.

Reston, VA 22092
703/860-6344
The Geography Program collects and analyzes land use data on a
nationwide basis, develops methods of applying these data, and
demonstrates the usefulness of the data to potential users. A
primary activity of the program is mapping land use and land
cover, and preparing associated maps showing political units,
hydrologic units, census county subdivisions, and federally-owned
land for the entire United States. The Geography Program
developed a two-level land use and land cover classification
system, and a computer-based Geographic Information Retrieval and
Analysis System (GIRAS) to facilitate computer manipulation,
graphic output, presentation of statistical tabulations, and
geographic analysis of land resourse use. Source data consists
primarily of aerial photographs, with secondary input derived from
remotely sensed data from satellites, maps, and data currently
available from other Federal agencies, together with field verifi-
cation when necessary.
Publications of the USGS Geography Program include: (1) Land Use
Map seriesland use and cover maps; (2) A Land Use and Land Cover
Classification System for Use with Remote Sensor Data; (3) GIRAS:
A Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System for
Handling Land Use and Land Cover Data; and (4) Land Use and Land
Cover Information and Air-Quality Planning.
19
-------
The functions of GIRAS include: (1) digital storage of land use
and land cover and associated maps; (2) cartographic editing and
updating of the geographic database; and (3) manipulation and
retrieval of data for performing area measurements, map composi-
ting analysis, and statistical and other computer-aided operations
such as the matching of land use maps with other environmental,
demographic, and economic data.
Digital tapes of maps are on open file with the National Carto-
graphic Information Center (NCIC). The Geography Program also
answers technical inquiries in its area of specialization.

associations of the county as well as more specific soils series.
These surveys are conducted to determine soil use potentials and
conservation treatment needs, and to give detailed information on the
kinds of soils in each county, where the soils are located and how
they can be used.
In addition to descriptions of the county's soil types and maps
showing their distribution, the SCS surveys identify the capabilities
of the county's various soils for agriculture, wildlife habitat, and
forestry; the location of prime and unique farmland; and the suita-
bility of the county's soils for such uses as septic tanks, land
treatment, construction of roads and buildings, and water supply and
sewerage systems. Information is provided on properties such as soil
texture, permeability, shear strength, compaction characteristics,
drainage, shrink-swell characteristics, grain size, plasticity, and
reaction. Additional information is provided on depth to water table,
flooding hazards, depth to bedrock, and relief characteristics.

management personnel, providing a systematic state, regional, and
national data base for reporting trends in water quality.
STORET's water quality data are derived from laboratory analyses
of water samples. The data are acquired from the USGS's National
Water Data System and from a variety of pollution abatement
agencies at Federal, state, and local levels. STORET also
contains fish contaminent and sediment contaminent data for the
Region V states. In addition, STORET contains effluent monitoring
data for all NPDES-peraitted industrial and municipal dischargers
located in Region V.
STORETfs search and retrieval system can be by river reach,
allowing users to pinpoint the exact geographic locations of point
source dischargers and sample collection points. Data are contri-
buted to STORET not only by the EPA, but also by the USGS, the
COE, the various state environmental protection agencies, and
other organizations. STORET's machine-readable files presently
hold about 60 million historical monitoring observations from over
500,000 locations.

C. RIVER BASIN/WATER SHED INFORMATION
In addition to providing assistance with soils data, the Soil Conservation
Service (SCS) has access to large amounts of water resources information
that have been collected in connection with the numerous projects that the
SCS has conducted in its many areas of responsibility. The major SCS
programs constituting this fund of information are as follows:
1. River Basin Surveys and Investigations. The SCS, along with other
agencies within the Department of Agriculture (the Economic Research
Service, the Forest Service, and the Science & Education Adminis-
tration), cooperates with other Federal, state, and local agencies in
studying the watersheds of rivers and other waterways. These studies
include cooperative river basin surveys that serve as a basis for
developing coordinated water resource programs; floodplain management
studies that furnish technical data, assistance, and information for
state and local governments to use in floodplain management programs;
joint watershed surveys with the US Army Corps of Engineers for the
purpose of flood prevention; and coordination of interagency water
resources activities.
2. Watershed Planning Studies. The SCS has general responsibility for
the administration of investigations and surveys of proposed small
watershed projects in response to requests by sponsoring local organ-
izations. The SCS assists sponsors in the development of watershed
plans.
3. Data from Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations. The SCS admin-
isters cooperative activities with local sponsors, state agencies, and
other public bodies in the planning and implementation of projects for
erosion, floodwater, and sediment damage control; conservation and
development of water resources; water utilization and disposal; flood
prevention projects, including development of recreational facilities
and improvement of fish and wildlife habitat; and also provides loans
to local organizations through the Farmers Home Administration to help
42

manager in the planning and development of resource projects and
environmental impact statements. Included for each taxon is informa-
tion on the degree of protection accorded under Federal and state law;
its geographic distribution; its known behavioral characteristics and
habitat requirements, especially in regard to its adaptability to
changes in its environment; its population structure and trends; and
a reference bibliography. In addition to providing this information
in narrative form, SWIS also produces computer-plotted distribution
maps for each animal covered.
The information in SWIS is gathered from Federal, state, university,
and other biologists, botanists, and ecologists; Federal, state, uni-
versity and commercial publications and databases; and several major
libraries. SWIS is available without cost to users who are authorized

301/899-7600
The Bureau of the Census (Bureau) collects, tabulates, and publishes a
wide variety of statistical data concerning the housing, population,
and economy of the nation. The Bureau's principal function, mandated
by the Constitution, is a tabulation of the U.S. population. Subse-
quent legislation acts have required decennial censuses of agricul-
ture, state and local units, manufacturers, mineral industries, dis-
tributive trades, construction industries and transportation. Current
surveys provide information on many of the subjects covered in the
censuses at monthly, quarterly, annual, or other intervals. The
Bureau also compiles current statistics on United States foreign
trade.
The Bureau conducts special censuses for states, counties and local
government units; publishes estimates and projections of the popula-
tion; provides current data on population and housing characteristics;
and issues current reports on manufacturing, retail and wholesale
trade, services, construction, imports and exports, state and local
government finances and employment, and other subjects.
The principal products of the Bureau are its printed reports, computer
tapes, and special tabulations. The Bureau also produces statistical
compendia, catalogs, guides, and directories that are useful in locat-
ing specific information. The following is a list of Bureau of the
Census field offices in the six states, together with their areas of

The mission of the Bureau of the Census covers a wide range of statis-
tical activities which vary considerably in purpose, size, and fre-
quency. The Bureau's activities fall into three major categories:
(1) a periodic program of major censuses, which include the decennial
censuses of population and housing, and the quinquennial economic
censuses, as well as other statistical projects that recur on a regu-
lar basis; (2) a current program of continuous collection, analysis,
and reporting of demographic and economic statistics, such as retail
sales and inventory estimates, housing information, and intercensal
population estimates; and (3) work conducted for government agencies,
educational institutions, and others under the Bureau's reimbursable
program.
Most of the above work involves conducting demographic surveys, which
represent 25 percent of the Bureau's total budget. These surveys
usually focus on households and obtain information on demographic
57
-------
subjects such as income, education, health, employment, and expendi-
tures. Major recurring surveys conducted by the Bureau in this cate-
gory Include the Current Population Survey for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and the Annual Housing Survey for the Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
The Bureau also conducts single-time or intermittent surveys, such as
its 1980 Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Associated Recre-
ation, conducted for the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Information on Bureau of the Census products in the first two cate-
gories above is presented in this section; information on the Bureau's
demographic surveys can be obtained by contacting its Demographic
Surveys Division, at the Washington, D.C. (301/763-2776) address
identified at the beginning of this section.

VI. ARCHAEOLOGICAL, HISTORIC and ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES
A. FEDERAL
1. National Register Of Historic Places
US Department of the Interior
National Park Service
440 G St., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20243
202/343-6401
The National Register (Register) is the primary source of information
on identified archaeological, historic and architectural resources in
the United States. The Register is a computer-readable inventory of
districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects Which have met
Federal eligibility criteria and are deemed to be worthy of preser-
vation. Properties meeting National Register criteria are nominated
by the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPO), or, in the case of
Federal property, by representatives appointed by agency heads. Final
decisions concerning listing on the Register are made by the Secretary
of the Interior.
The complete National Register is available from the GPO in the form
of a printed two-volume directory with updates. The two-volume
directory is cumulative through 1978, and subsequent annual compila-
tions (noncumulative), normally published the first Tuesday in
February beginning in 1979, must be consulted for an update of list-
ings. Additions to the National Register may be found by consulting
the Federal Register published the first Tuesday of the month. The
National Register also covers all historic areas in the National Park
System and properties eligible for designation as National Historic
Landmarks. Approximately 25,000 properties are currently listed in
the National Register.
The SHPO should be consulted to identify all properties potentially
and presently eligible for listing in the National Register within the
primary impact area. Regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic
70
-------
Preservation apply if the sites in question are either listed on or
are determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register.
The Advisory Council is a semiautonomous Federal council, separate
from the National Park Service, and is the major governmental policy
advisor in the field of archaeological and historic preservation.

manuscript materials housed in repositories in the United States.
Examples of such materials are collections of personal papers, corpo-
rate records, photographs, original motion pictures and sound record-
ings, machine-readable files, and oral history tapes. Information is
derived from a variety of sources, including questionnaires, published
descriptions of archives and manuscript collections, and survey forms
and data files submitted by field workers on cooperating projects.
The Commission publishes a Directory of Archives and Manuscript
Repositories, available from the above address. The Commission has
also supported cooperative database development in the states of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois, and is headquartered in the
Wisconsin State Historical Society.
