1961 Congress authorized construction of seven laboratories: one, for the purpose of conducting research on
marine water pollution, to be located in Rhode Island.
1965 The National Marine Water Quality Laboratory, housed on the main campus of the University of Rhode
Island in Kingston, RI, began operating with a small staff.
1966 The laboratory moved to temporary quarters in West Kingston, RI, and used a modified barge for wet
laboratory support.
1974 The laboratory moved to its present location in Narragansett, occupying the former U.S. Public Heath
Service's Shellfish Sanitation Laboratory.
1977 Major expansion, including new wet laboratory, and renovation of laboratory facilities.
1984 ORD's Field Station in Newport, Oregon, administratively transferred from the Corvallis laboratory to
ERL-Narragansett.
1988 Pollution Abatement Building completed.
1989 Laboratory reorganized with 3 research branches and research support in Narragansett, and Newport
reorganized as the Pacific Ecosystems Branch with four research teams.
1990 Construction of new research laboratory, library, seawater intake and distribution, and storage facilities
completed at the Newport facility.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT CAPABILITIES
The Atlantic Ecology Division (AED) is located
approximately 30 miles south of Providence, Rhode
Island, on an 11-acre site overlooking the West
Passage of Narragansett Bay. The surrounding area
is predominantly rural or residential in character,
with services provided at village-sized commercial
centers. Adjacent to the AED is the 165-acre Bay
Campus housing the University of Rhode Island's
Graduate School of Oceanography, the Coastal
Institute, the Marine Resources Center, the Rhode
Island Nuclear Science Center; andNOAA's
National Marine Fisheries Service's Narragansett
Laboratory. The main campus of the University of
Rhode Island is 7 miles west of the site. AED's
buildings provide 68,600 sq. ft. for research and
research support activities:
MAIN OFFICE/LABORATORY BUILDING
The Main Office/Laboratory Building (49,622
sq. ft.) houses the reception area, administrative
support and scientific staff office space, conference
rooms, dry and wet-laboratory space, and space for
the storage of scientific samples.
Wet Laboratory Facilities
The AED has two marine wet laboratory
facilities. The original wet laboratory, which is the
smaller of the two, contains two microcosm rooms,
one marine algae culture chamber, ten (10) wet
tables, and office space for scientific staff. The wet
tables can be supplied with both filtered or
unfiltered seawater, and/or heated or cooled sea
water.
The main wet laboratory, constructed in the mid
1970's, contains the following areas: a high hazard
testing area, a low hazard testing/holding area, a
marine algae/plant laboratory, a general purpose and
glass fabrication shop, a seawater filtration system
room, and an electronic control room. The sea water
supplied to this laboratory can either be unfiltered
(i.e., directly from Narragansett Bay), or it can be
filtered before use. Either type of water can be
temperature controlled. The seawater filtration
system can supply a maximum of 250 gallons per
minute (gpm) of filtered seawater (suspended solids
removed as small as 5 microns) to the aquaria and
test systems located in this laboratory. The high
hazard testing area contains six (6) wet table
enclosures that are equipped with air exhausts. This
area has been used for conducting toxicity tests used
to derive EPA's Water and Sediment Quality
Criteria, to study the effects of dioxin on marine
fish, and other research. The low hazard testing/
holding area is currently being used for the research
on, maintenance of, or culture of the following
marine algae and animals : marine macroalgae,
rotifers, brine shrimp, mysids, grass shrimp,
estuarine and marine amphipods, mud crabs, lobster
larvae and adults, blue mussels, quahogs, soft-
shelled clams, sea urchins, inland silversides, sheeps
head minnows, mummichogs, summer lounder, and
winter flounder. The main wet laboratory has also
supported such diverse research as the development
of Complex Effluent and Dredged Materials
Toxicity Tests, Reproductive Toxicology,
Biomarkers, development of Dissolved Oxygen
Criteria, and development of Sediment Toxicity
Identification Evaluation (TIEs) methodology.
Analytical Equipment
The AED utilizes sophisticated state-of-the-art
analytical equipment during the analysis of estuarine
and marine water, sediment, and tissue samples. In
particular, inorganic chemistry analyses (e.g.,
metals) are conducted by using Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometers (AAS), an Inductively Coupled
Plasma (ICP) Spectrophotometer, an ICP/Mass
Spectrometer, and a mercury analyzer. In addition,
-------
an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer is used to
measure carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotope ratios
in marine samples. Organic chemistry analyses
(e.g., PCBs, PAHs, pesticides, dioxins, and
dibenzofurans) are conducted by using gas
chromatographs (GC: FID or EC), a
Multidimensional GC, a GC/Mass Spectrometer,
and a Liquid Chromatograph (LC)/Mass
Spectrometer. State-of-the-art microwave extraction
systems are used in the preparation of both the
inorganic and organic chemistry samples before they
are analyzed by the above equipment and
procedures.
The AED also conducts cellular and tissue
research by using a state-of-the-art laser cytometer.
Because of this piece of equipment, the AED is also
capable of investigating the underlying causes and
effects of pollution on marine organisms at the
cellular and subcellular level.
Computing/Information Management
Both research and administrative activities at the
AED are supported by extensive computer
capabilities. The AED is connected via the internet,
not only to other Agency facilities, but also to the
broader Government and research community
online. Personal computers (PCs), which provide
popular capabilities such as word processing,
spreadsheets, and graphics to most members of the
staff at the desktop, participate in a local network
which ties them all to a central computer center.
The computer center currently incorporates servers
and timesharing systems from Digital Equipment
Corporation and Data General Corporation and a
wide variety of peripheral equipment. The center
acts as a repository for data of common interest,
provides the staff with sophisticated computational
tools, and manages communications.
The computer center is itself staffed by
employees of Signal Corporation, which provides
this service to the Federal Government by contract.
That staff are organized into three groups, each of
which provides a distinct range of services including
information management and analysis, visualization
and graphics, and systems management; using such
software tools as Oracle, SAS, Arc/Info, AVS, '
Pathworks, and Multinet.
Among the most recently added of these
services is an extremely sophisticated capability
called Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS
provides for spatial analysis of data and subsequent
presentation of the results in geographic context.
Such a capability is extremely important to AED,
which gathers for analysis much data spatially
organized by specific geographic location of origin
(e.g., EMAP data). Supporting this capability are
state-of-the-art electrostatic and other ink jet plotting
devices and scientific workstations.
SUPPORT SERVICES BUILDING
The Support Services Building (9,900 sq. ft.)
contains receiving and storage space, machine and
woodworking shops, the Histopathology Laboratory,
the dive locker, and AED's dark room. Field
equipment, such as trawl nets, benthic grab
samplers, sediment sieves, water samplers, CTDs,
"DataSonde" samplers, an Acoustic Doppler Current
Meter (ADCP), and field protective clothing (needed
at SuperFund sites) are stored in five (5) cages
located in this building.
Histopathology Laboratory
The histopathology laboratory contains all the
supplies and equipment necessary to conduct
histopathoiogical studies on tissues and organs
obtained from marine organisms (e.g., crustaceans,
mollusks, fish) collected from the field, or after
exposure to toxicants in the wet laboratory.
-------
Dive Tearn/Lockfir
To support research, AED maintains a SCUBA
dive team. This dive team consists of employees
who also work on other projects at the AED. The
dive team collects samples from the environment
when other methods of collection are not possible.
They also conduct field experiments, such as mussel
transplants (e.g., placing clean mussels in
contaminated aquatic environments) and benthic
sediment recolonization experiments. The divers
also install underwater instrumentation used to
collect data, maintain the seawater system's intake
system, and retrieve scientific equipment (e.g.,
current meters, fouled trawl nets). The dive locker
consists of a dressing room with cages for
individually assigned dive equipment, as well as
general equipment uses. A separate room houses the
air compressor, and the air storage tanks.
FIELD OPERATIONS BUILDING
The Field Operations Building (1,600 sq. ft.)
houses maintenance space for boats and other field
equipment (see above). Three (3) "Boston
Whalers," and three (3) "Romarine" sampling
vessels (8-m), equipped with Global Positioning
Systems (GPS), are used by AED staff to conduct
field sampling and monitoring activities (e.g.,
EMAP-Virginian Province). Portable electric
generators are maintained and stored in this building.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE/
POLLUTION ABATEMENT BUILDINGS
The Hazardous Materials Storage Building
(1,656 sq. ft.) provides isolated and segregated
storage for bulk chemicals, compressed gases, and
hazardous wastes.
The Pollution Abatement Building (690 sq. ft.)
houses the laboratory's wastewater pre-treatment
facility (lower floor) as well as a containment
laboratory for handling and conducting experiments
with highly toxic or contaminated materials (upper
floor).
PIER PUMP HOUSE
The Pier Pump House (100 sq. ft.) houses
pumping equipment for the seawater supply system.
OTHER OFFICE BUILDINGS
Three (3) temporary trailers and a small frame
cottage provide about 4,000 sq.ft of office space.

JOINT ORD/REGION III
COMMUNITY-BASED ASSESSMENT TEAM fCBATt
On February 7, 1995, EPA's National Senior Leadership Council agreed to implement a Community-
Based Environmental Protection (CBEP) approach. CBEP is a geographic-driven process which utilizes
science, information sharing, partnership-building, and socioeconomic considerations to achieve greater
benefits for human and ecological communities.
In support of the Agency's approach, EPA's Region Ill's Office and the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) have formed a joint Community-Based Assessment Team (CBAT) which will work
together for three to five years on-site in Annapolis, Maryland. The CBAT will coordinate efforts with the
Region III data teams (located in Philadelphia), ORD laboratory personnel, and regional academicians located
across the country.
The CBAT will integrate and enhance the various science, technology, and information management
capabilities and experiences of Region III, ORD, other EPA offices, other federal agencies, state/local
governments, and nongovernmental scientific organizations. This integration will produce the complete
package of science-based tools needed for a comprehensive environmental planning effort at the community
level.
The CBAT will also conduct ecological and human health assessments using the comparative risks
framework. Assessments will initially focus on specific resource categories (estuaries, surface waters, forests,
land-use/land-cover, and agriculture) as well as crosscutting issues (information management, socioeconomics,
"futures" forecasting, and outreach). Existing data, as well as additional acquired data, relying heavily on
Geographic Information System (GIS) data bases, will be used by CBAT during the conduct of these
assessments.
Subsequent multiple-resource assessments will provide insight into issues of scale and resource integration
needed to define ecological conditions and ecosystem sustainability, and to improve ecosystem management.

EY-1994 SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
The Scientific and Technological Achievement
Awards (STAA) program promotes and recognizes
scientific and technological achievements by EPA
employees and fosters a greater exposure of EPA
research to the public.
The STAA program began in 1980 and is
sponsored and coordinated by the Office of Research
and Development (ORD). EPA's Science Advisory
Board (SAB) provides scientific and technological
evaluation of the nominated publications.
Nominated publications must have received
critical acceptance among the nominee's peers,
including publication in a high-quality peer
reviewed journal. The contribution must have a
significant impact at the local, national and/or
international level of environmental activities. The
research, as presented in the published paper, must
have been completed within the five years preceding
the award year. The nominated paper must have
been published within five years prior to the award
year.
AED personnel received three 1994 STA
Awards, for which short synopses are provided
below:
Davis, Wayne R. 1993. The role of bioturbation
in sediment resuspension and its interaction with
physical shearing. Journal of Experimental
Marine Biology and Ecology, 171:187-200.
Organisms that live in marine sediments (e.g.,
benthic infauna) are not only vulnerable to
sediments containing contaminants (e.g., metals,
PCBs) but also to the myriad of biological activities
conducted by these organisms (e.g., feeding,
respiration and habitat development). This paper
investigated how benthic activities (i.e.,
bioturbation) affect sediment-chemical transport,
and how bioturbation interacts with bottom water
movement and chemistry. It was found that
successful food foraging requires a high level of
sediment processing, ingestion and waste .
redistribution. This results in significant sediment
transport. The work supports the hypothesis that
bioturbation is an important means of contaminated
sediment remediation. It is proposed that marine
organism protection should be expanded from its
fisheries potential to include critical ecological
function (e.g., acceleration of microbial degradation
of contaminants in sediments).
Pniell, R.J., N.I. Rubinstein, B.K. Taplin, J.A.
LiVoIsi and R.D. Bowen. 1993. Accumulation of
polycholorinated organic contaminants from
sediment by three benthic marine species.
Archives of Environmental Contamination and
Toxicology 24:290-297.
Contaminated estuarine sediment was collected
from the Passaic River, NJ. This sediment
contained high concentrations of numerous chemical
contaminants including polychlorinated biphenyis
(PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDDs),
and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Three
benthic species including sandworms, clams, and
grass shrimp were exposed to this sediment in the
laboratory and the accumulation of PCBs, PCDDs,
and PCDFs by the three species was described.
Relationships were established between contaminant
and organic carbon levels of the sediment and the
contaminant concentrations accumulated by the
organisms. This was the first laboratory study
conducted to measure the biological availability of
dioxins and dibenzofurans from marine sediment.
Information provided from this work has been used
to evaluate dioxin containing sediments proposed for
dredging.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 24,328-
337 ERLN#1340
A marine in vitro neutral red assay using brown
cells of the hard shell clam Mercenaria mercenaria
has been developed at AED. The method offers a
new and potentially useful means of assessing the
potential hazard associated with the discharge of
waste materials in near-coastal areas. In addition,
the test is rapid to perform, inexpensive, accurate,
precise and requires few animals. Results of the
assay have served to illustrate the general versatility
of the assay in evaluating the interactive effects of
toxicant mixtures (e.g., metals) on the cells of the
hard shell clam.

Dechlorination of PCBs in New Bedford Harbor Sediments
flummary - Research scientists at AED-Narragansett
k3 have examined the reductive dechlorination of
Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) residues in sediments
of a Superfiind site in New Bedford Harbor,
Massachusetts. The sediments of the site, the upper
portion of which is an approximately 200-acre salt
marsh estuary, were contaminated by PCBs from a
capacitor manufacturing plant which used PCBs from
the late 1940s until 1978. The reductive dechlorination
processes result from the action of anaerobic bacteria
that remove chlorine atoms from the biphenyl molecule.
These processes appear to be environmentally beneficial
because toxic and bioaccumulatable individual PCB
compounds are degraded by them. However, the
toxicities of dechlorinated residues have not been
measured. The possibility that dechlorination processes
may be enhanced by nutrient addition is being
considered in the evaluation of remediation options for
this site.
~f%esearch Objectives and Methods - The objectives
jfV of this study were to examine the extent or
dechlorination, and to estimate the rate of dechlorination
in sediments from the Superfund site in New Bedford
Harbor, Massachusetts.
Cores were obtained from locations shown in Figure
1. Core sections taken for analysis in this study were
obtained at depth sections a=0-2.5 cm, b=5-7.5 cm,
c=15-17.5 cm, d=30-32.5 cm and e=45-47.5 cm, but in
shorter cores only the top sections could be sampled. A
sediment sample from Black Rock Harbor (BRH),
Connecticut, was used as a moderately contaminated
non-dechlorinated reference sample. Sediment samples
were extracted with organic solvents and analyzed for
PCBs using high-resolution glass capillary-column gas
chromatography with electron capture detection. The
extent of dechlorination was assessed by comparing the
distributions of individual PCB compounds (congeners)
with those present in unaltered mixtures of Aroclors
1242, 1016, 1254, which were the mixtures utilized and
presumably released by the capacitor manufacturing
plant.
esults and Discussion • Concentrations of PCBs
as sums of Aroclor 1242 and 1254 ranged from
2,960 ppm dry weight at the II1 15-17.5 cm section to
about 1-10 ppm in cores C6 and C7. PCB
concentrations decreased rapidly below the 15-17.5 cm
section in cores. The non-dechlorinated reference
sample from BRH had 21.4 ppm.
The dechlorinations in NBH varied in the types
and extent of transformations of PCB residues with the
location of the sample in the estuary and the depth of
the sample in the sediment. The largest changes in
PCB residues found in this study were in sediments
closest to the outfall from a capacitor plant (the
presumed PCB source) at a depth of 15-17.5 cm in the
sediment. A trend toward less dechlorinated residues
with increased distance from the plant (and lower PCB
concentrations) was found. Samples from lower NBH
showed only minor evidence of dechlorination, and a
reference sample from Black Rock Harbor,
Connecticut, showed none.
Three distinct dechlorination pathways were found
to remove chlorine substituents from congeners with
chlorine at 2,3,4-, 2,4,5-, and 3,4- positions on one of
the biphenyl rings.
An example of the extent of dechlorination of
congener CB 105, which is indicative of the 2,3,4-
dechlorination pathway, is shown in Figure 2. The
amount of decrease in the concentration of CB 105
measured in sediment samples relative to the
concentration in unaltered PCB mixtures (predicted) is
shown by the length of the bar and is expressed to the
power of 2. Therefore, a value of-2 indicates that the
concentration of the congener measured in the sample
is 1/4 the predicted concentration found in the Aroclor
mixtures that contaminated the specific sediment
sample.
-------
Almost no change in concentration of CB 105 was
found for the sediment from Black Rock Harbor (BRH
at extreme left of Figure 2). Large decreases in the
concentration of CB 105 were found in cores taken near
the plant, whereas smaller decreases or no losses were
found at down bay stations. (Core locations and
sections correspond to those shown in Figure 1 and the
methods section.)
Less extensive alterations of PCBs by the 2,4,5-
and 3,4- dechlorination pathways were found, and the
extents of dechlorination by these different pathways
were not constant in the samples. These results suggest
that site-specific factors (e.g., metals, nutrients,
temperature) may determine the pathways and extents
ofdechlorinations.
Rates of dechlorination processes were made by
assuming 25 years from the time of environmental
release to the time of sampling for all residues. This
approximation was needed because no reliable
relationship between the depth of a sample in the
sediment and the length of time a PCB residue had been
in a specific sediment could be established. Using this
assumption and first order kinetics, rate constants and
New
Bedford
Harbor
half lives for dechlorinations of specific congeners were
established. The estimated rate constants and the
corresponding half lives showed large variations
depending on the location of the sample and the congener.
For example, congener CB 031 (25-4) showed rate
constants of .001 f and .053 t:1 and half lives of 465 and
13.2 years in core H22 15-17.5 cm section and core I 11
15-17.5 cm core sections, respectively. For CB 105 (234-
34) the rate constants were .092 and .16, and the half lives
were 7.5 and 4.4 years in the H22 15-17.5 cm and II1 15-
17.5 cm core sections.
The estimates of rate constants represent averages over
the 25-year time period from input to sample
collection; other average rate constants would be obtained
if different input times were specified. Further, the
average rate constants do not give specific information
about past dechlorination rates. For example, the PCB
congeners may have been dechlorinated over a short time
followed by years of dormancy. Finally, these average
rate constants offer no information on present rates or
whether and at what rate these processes will continue in
the future.
Measurements of the toxicities of the PCB residues
remaining after alteration by dechlorination processes will
be valuable for evaluating the potential of using these in
situ processes in remediation of parts of this site.
