RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad categories
were established to facilitate further development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously planned to foster
technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from the effort
funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment Research and Development
Program. These studies relate to EPA's mission to protect the public health and
welfare from adverse effects of pollutants associated with energy systems. The goal of
the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic energy supplies in an
environmentally-compatible manner by providing the necessary environmental data
and control technology. Investigations include analyses of the transport of energy-
related pollutants and their health and ecological effects; assessments of, and
development of, control technologies for energy systems; and integrated assessments
of a wide range of energy-related environmental issues.

PREFACE
In the course of fulfilling its charter, EPA performs multimedia
environmental assessments of stationary sources of pollution and conducts
R&D programs to develop and demonstrate feasible control technology. Such
programs generate voluminous data, often according to different reporting
protocols and sampling and analysis practices. The Environmental Assessment
Data Systems (EADS) have been developed to consolidate the results of these
programs and others into one comprehensive information system. The EADS is
also designed to provide uniformity in reporting protocols and to supply
current information and methods for analyzing data.
The EADS is composed of four waste stream data bases and a number of
reference and support data bases. The waste stream data bases include the
Fine Particle Emissions Information System (FPEIS), the Gaseous Emissions
Data System (GEDS), the Liquid Effluents Data System (LEDS), and the Solid
Discharge Data System (SDDS). The FPEIS was the original data base in EADS,
having become operational in 1977, and is now a mature system containing
data from hundreds of stationary sources and serving the needs of a diverse
user community. The GEDS, LEDS, and SDDS were initiated in 1978 and are now
operational. The original FPEIS has concurrently been redesigned to conform
to the requirements of expanded multimedia testing, although existing data
in FPEIS will continue to be available to the user.
-------
A complete set of EADS documentation includes six publications —
one User Guide for each of the four waste stream data bases, a Terminology
Reference Manual, and a Systems Overview Manual. This document, the
Systems Overview Manual, provides a general systems review and technical
reference guide. It has been written for one who requires a general
familiarization with the EADS and not for the day-to-day user and encoder
of data, although the latter group of users would do well to read the
Systems Overview Manual upon first introduction to the EADS.

SECTION 1.0
INTRODUCTION
This document is a general systems overview manual and technical
reference guide for the Environmental Assessment Data Systems (EADS), a
group of interrelated computerized data bases which describe multimedia
discharges from energy systems, industrial processes, and municipal
treatment systems. The EADS has been designed to aid researchers in
environmental assessment, source characterization, control technology
development, and a variety of other research and development program
types. The EADS is composed of four media-specific waste (or product)
stream data bases (i.e., the Fine Particle Emissions Information System
(FPEIS), the Gaseous Emissions Data System (GEDS), the Liquid Effluents
Data System (LEDS), and the Solid Discharge Data System (SDDS)), and
several reference data bases. The waste stream data bases contain a
variety of information related to source sampling activities of a
multimedia nature. In general, the data groups include: source
description, stream design characteristics, control device/treatment
process design information, test operating conditions (for the source,
stream, and control device/treatment process), fuels and feedstocks
analysis, sampling activity description, and physical, chemical,
radionuclide, and bioassay analyses results.
1.0-1
-------
The service that EADS can provide will appeal to a wide variety of
users. The major users (as well as data suppliers) of EADS are, at least
for the near-term, expected to be the environmental assessment community
and government research and development organizations. The Conventional
Combustion Environmental Assessment (CCEA) is one program which will
probably be a significant user in this group. This is a program designed
to perform a comprehensive assessment of the environmental, economic, and
energy impacts of multimedia emissions from stationary conventional
combustion processes (SCCP). CCEA will require large amounts of data of
the types to be included in EADS, to:
t Assess the value of existing information and to aid in
identifying and acquiring new information to evaluate the
environmental, economic, and energy impacts of SCCP;
• Define control technology development and modification
requirements;
• Define the requirements for modified or new standards to
regulate pollutant emissions.
A second category of users for EADS may be ambient and regional
pollutant modelers -- those looking at specific area emission problems and
source/receptor relationships. A third group of users are the
regulators. This group will include the EPA Program Offices; the Office
of Air Quality Planning and Standards, the Effluent Guidelines Division,
and the Office of Solid Waste. The last anticipated group of users is the
control equipment developers. The primary function of EADS will be to
provide a base of information on sources, controls, and emissions that can
support these users in attaining their separate but related objectives.
1.0-2
-------
EADS is expected to be a multipurpose data base due to its
comprehensive structure and content. In addition, its utility will be
greatly enhanced due to its multimedia content and the interlinking between
the four waste stream data bases. Interlinking is necessary to enable a
control strategy analyst or an R&D program planner to select the most
environmentally acceptable control methods on a systems basis. When one
considers the objectives and scope of today's investigative and iterative
environmental studies, it is easy to see why interlinking is necessary.
Environmental Assessments, for example, are intended to determine
comprehensive multimedia environmental loadings and compare them to
existing emissions and ambient standards. Resulting health, ecological
and environmental effects, and cross-media impacts and trade-offs are also
assessed. It is necessary and useful to examine and compare emissions
across all media from a specific source.
Last, but not least, the EADS will save valuable program funds.
Information and data searches will be much easier and more thorough, and
information can be obtained from the data base at no cost to the user.
This report describes the various system components, how they are
used, and what functions they perform for the user.
The Systems Overview Manual is intended to supply the user with a
general knowledge of the contents and capabilities of the EADS in
engineering terms rather than from a computer viewpoint. More specific
information for the day-to-day user regarding the entry and retrieval of
data, the detailed structure, and precise functioning of the complete
system can be found in the individual waste stream data base User Guides
and in the Terminology Reference Manual.

SECTION 2.0
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF EADS
2.1 WHAT IS THE EADS
The EADS is composed of four waste (or product) stream data bases
supported by a variety of reference data bases and user output programs.
The four waste stream data bases are the Fine Particle Emissions
Information System (FPEIS), the Gaseous Emissions Data System (GEDS), the
Liquid Effluents Data System (LEDS), and the Solid Discharge Data System
(SDDS). Each contains media-specific waste stream emissions or effluent
data from stationary point sources. These may include industrial
processes, energy conversion processes, or municipal wastewater treatment
plants. The EADS concept has been designed primarily to aid researchers
in environmental assessment, emissions characterization, and control
technology development. Users will find the waste stream data bases to be
comprehensive in design and, thus, will certainly find a wide range of
application for them. Section 2.3, which follows, will discuss potential
uses of the EADS in greater detail.
Each of the four waste stream data bases contains similar data. In
fact, approximately 90 percent of the data elements are common to all four
data bases. The types of data contained in the EADS have been modeled
after the sampling and analysis protocols of several EPA offices and
laboratories. The most current protocols available were used during the
2.1-1
-------
data base development. In particular, the Level 1* environmental assessment
protocols used by the Industrial Environmental Research Laboratories were
followed, as well as the special requirements of the Municipal Environmental
Research Laboratory in reporting data obtained from sampling of public owned
treatment works (POTW). Great care was taken in designing the system to
facilitate the entry of results of chemical, radionuclide, and bioassay
analyses. In the event that these protocols are changed, it will be a
relatively simple matter to modify the data base as needed. In fact,
periodic updates will be a matter of course, and those users holding
registered documentation will regularly receive these updates.
Each waste stream data base contains source sampling data which may
include: design and operating data on the control equipment; results of
chemical or physical analysis of the fuels and feedstocks used in the
process; process descriptions of the source; descriptions of the sampling
equipment and techniques employed; and results of chemical, physical,
radiological, and biological/ecological tests on the collected samples.
Each of these general data categories contains numerous data elements in
which to record information. In addition, the FPEIS and the LEDS have
unique data groups designed for the special requirements of their
particular media sampling requirements. The FPEIS has special elements
for recording particle size information and the LEDS has a unique data
group for recording wastewater collection system effluent information. A
more detailed discussion of the data elements and groups is given in
Section 3.2.

Edition), EPA-600/7-78-201, October 1978.
2.1-2
-------
EADS will also be supported by a number of reference data bases and
user software designed to provide a variety of service functions to the
waste stream data bases. The use and function of these are discussed in
detail in Sections 4.0 and 5.0, respectively. We will briefly discuss
some of the more important ones in this section.
MEGDAT is a reference data base which catalogues properties of
chemical compounds, including chemical and toxicological properties. In
addition, all regulatory standards, recommended exposure levels of that
compound, threshold values, etc. from NIOSH, EPA, OSHA, and other
government organizations, are included. Such information, when compared
with actual source emissions, will assist researchers in a variety of
studies. For example, such information may assist a researcher in
assessing the effect that a specific control technology has on emissions
of pollutants other than the one it is intended to control, and how those
emission concentrations compare to regulatory values.
A related reference data base is the TERMS data base, of which the
Chemical Data Table (CDT) is one part. The TERMS data base is described
in detail later. The CDT supplies chemical ID numbers, synonyms, the
empirical formula, and the molecular weight of the species or compound.
The CDT can be thought of as providing a link (or translator) between the
waste stream data bases and MEGDAT. Source emissions of compounds are
stored in the waste stream data bases as either Multimedia Environmental
Goal (MEG) ID numbers (Multimedia Environmental Goals for Environmental
Assessment Volumes I and 2, EPA-600/7-77-136a,b, November 1977) or as
Chemical Abstracts (CAS) numbers (Chemical Abstracts -- Chemical Substance
Index, American Chemical Society). MEGDAT is organized by MEG ID number.
2.1-3
-------
The CDT is the link which facilitates data searches, particularly for users
more familiar with the CAS numbers.
User software is described in Section 5.0, Program Library.
Briefly, the user software includes output routines for specific purposes
which, in some cases, are media-specific. They are tools to assist the
user with more efficient retrieval and use of the data.
The EADS originated from recognition of the fact that ERA'S
Environmental Assessment (EA) program would produce a large quantity of
source emissions data. For that data to be organized and useful, it would
have to be computerized. Since then, many other EPA programs have
committed to entering their data into the EADS. These include a number of
programs related to specific sources and environmental problems that have
their own unique set of reporting requirements. The EADS has been, and
can be again, modified to accommodate those unique requirements.
Similarly, special purpose output programs can be developed if users have
particular data analysis needs.
The question is frequently asked, what is the relationship of EADS
to other data bases? Does the EADS replace other EPA data bases? The
EADS is designed to augment other systems as well as to provide a totally
new and comprehensive repository for stationary point source emissions
data. It is not intended to replace any other existing data bases such as
STORET, NEDS, or SOTDAT. Whereas these program office data bases are
concerned with collecting data from all sources within a given industrial
category, EADS is not. The principal function of the EADS within OR&D is
to support control technology development. In this role, it is not
necessary to sample all sources in order to quantify the performance of
control systems or to ascertain their applicability to a particular type
2.1-4
-------
of source. It is necessary, however, to describe the source and control
systems as comprehensively as possible. Generalizations may always be
made from detailed data compilations. If only the results or conclusions
are given, we have no way of knowing how they were determined. In this
way, the EADS satisfies not only an important research function, but it
also supplements program office data available to the Agency through
regulatory or enforcement-related activities.
2.1-5
-------
2.2 WHY AN EADS
Any data base Is useful only if it works, if it contains current
information, and if it treats the subject matter comprehensively. And, of
course, there must be a demonstrated need. Why, then, has the EADS been
created? What are its purposes? What are its uses? The purpose of this
section is to explain the reasons for developing the EADS. Its precise
uses, which exist as an output program library, will be discussed in
detail in the following section.
There are three primary reasons for the development of the EADS, and
they are all very much interrelated and dependent on each other. First, a
system was needed to consolidate the vast amount of sampling and analysis
data which was, and still is, being produced by various government agencies
and their contractors. The research and development emphasis in the 1970's
has been on pollutant regulatory activities and control technology
development. This will surely carry through to the 1980's and will likely
expand with more complex programs involving multimedia sampling and
analysis. Regulatory strategies and control technology development
efforts must now take many more factors into account due to the
increasingly recognized additive and synergistic effects of stationary
source emissions and pollutant controls. The problem is now recognized to
be multimedia. Researchers must assess types and quantities of pollutants
being emitted as aerosols, gases, liquids, and solid discharges.
Furthermore, in addition to just quantitative measurements of pollutant
chemical concentrations, programs now are evaluating radiological
emissions, and are studying health and ecological effects of discharge
stream samples as well.
2.2-1
-------
The EPA and its contractors are major producers of sampling and
analysis data, and are expected to continue in this role for some years.
Consequently, the EPA will be a major supplier of data for the EADS, as
well as being a major user of that data. Other Federal and State agencies,
such as the Department of Energy (DOE) and the California Air Resources
Board (GARB), are also expected to be users. All these agencies are
producing more data, from a greater variety of sources and industries, and
they are employing constantly evolving sampling and analysis methods.
The EADS has been designed such that there are actually four
independent, but interrelated, waste or product stream data bases -- one
each for fine particle, gas, liquid, and solid discharge streams. Each is
structured in a similar manner, but some differences exist to reflect the
manner in which different media waste streams are sampled and controlled.
The contents of the EADS can easily accommodate the variety of information
resulting from multimedia sampling and analysis programs. This, then, is
the first reason for the creation of the EADS -- to provide a comprehensive
and diverse repository for multimedia environmental sampling and analysis
data and to consolidate that data in a central location where it is easily
available to the user community.
The second reason for the development of the EADS is one that
follows naturally from the first, and it is to provide uniformity in the
manner in which data are reported and stored. This does not mean to imply
that the EADS in any way dictates how data are to be collected, analyzed,
and synthesized. What the EADS does do is to provide a standardized and
uniform protocol for reporting sampling and analysis data. This is a
critical point. Data must exist in the data bases in comparable formats
so that accurate and reliable assessments of that data can be made. More
2.2-2
-------
specifically, data must be reported in similar units. Indeed, government
agencies, the EPA in their EA program for example, actually require
specific units when reporting pollutant discharge concentrations. In
response to this need, the EADS has adopted a uniform data reporting
protocol based on EPA's EA program and the SI system of units. Thus, data
will be reported in standard units and be directly comparable in output
formats.
In addition to providing uniformity with data reporting protocols,
the EADS provides a good mechanism to document quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) procedures used by the contractors. This
capability was included in recognition of the high priority given QA/QC by
the EPA administrator. More details on the QA/QC functions provided by
the EADS are given in Sections 2.6 and 3.3.3.
The third and perhaps the most important reason for the creation of
the EADS is to supply current sampling and analysis data for evaluation by
the user community and to provide standard methods for the retrieval and
analysis of that data.
For example, the Program Offices of EPA require current information
in fulfilling their charter of regulatory development. Data such as that
contained by the EADS (i.e., stationary source emissions data) provide the
foundation for regulatory policy decision making. This data must be
current, comprehensive, and of documented quality. The LEDS currently
supports the Office of Research & Development, Office of Water Planning &
Standards, and the Office of Water Enforcement in the development of the
Wastewater Treatability Manual, which is being used by EPA Regional
Offices and several states. Current information and analysis methods are
being provided by the FPEIS in support of an inhalable particle emission
2.2-3
-------
standard being developed by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards. Output software provides estimated (i.e., extrapolated) mass
fraction data in the inhalable and respirable particle range.
Once the EADS matures and contains a substantial amount of data
(the FPEIS has been available for use since 1976), it will provide users
with an economical, detailed, and timely source of current information.
Much of the information contained in the EADS will be from 1 to 3 years
old. It provides a very easy means for obtaining emissions data, being as
near as your data terminal or telephone. In addition, data retrieval and
use of the program library is provided as a service by EPA and, as such,
will save valuable program funds. Regulatory and control technology
development programs frequently require literature searches to supply
available information on a source, its controls, and emissions. EADS
provides this service in a variety of ways. Section 5 discusses the
methods available to the user community in the form of a program library.
2.2-4
-------
2.3 DATA BASE USES
The EADS has been built upon and designed around the needs of the
user community. In 1977, a feasibility study indicated a significant need
and desire on the part of the user community, through a questionnaire
survey, to have available a central repository for environmental assessment
(EA) data. In addition, at the outset of the development of the EADS, the
user community was once again approached, and needs, comments, and
suggestions were solicited. The EADS was originally intended to provide
support for the EA program enacted by EPA's Industrial Environmental
Research Laboratory at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. While the
EA program is continually changing, the fundamental uses of the generated
data remain; they are (1) to establish research, development, and
demonstration priorities for waste stream control, (2) to identify waste
streams and pollutants requiring further attention, (3) to identify
processes for which environmental standards may be needed and the
technologies available for their control, and (4) to assist with other
integrated technology assessments. EADS was designed to organize and store
the information and data produced from EA activities, but it has not been
limited, through a rigid structure dictated by EA protocols, in its ability
to accommodate data from a variety of other sources. The types of data
uses that EA programs and other users may find with the EADS include the
following:
• Characterize emissions data according to source category,
fuels, control devices, and other qualifiers
• Summarize waste stream data by EA project
• Develop emission factors
2.3-1
-------
• Characterize emissions for purposes of new and retrofit control
device design and application
• Assist with regional emissions studies
• Provide background data for standards development
• Assess source types with respect to toxic and hazardous
pollutants
• Perform control device and waste treatment evaluations
• Provide data for correlative studies (e.g., correlating source
types with radionuclide emissions)
• Provide source emissions data for various equipment design
purposes
• Provide data for private industry research projects
These are fairly specific uses to which the EADS data may be employed. You
may very well be asking yourself, how can I apply the EADS data to my
specific problem? How will EADS make my job easier and the solution to my
problem more reliable and comprehensive?
The EADS Program Library and other data manipulation procedures
provide the techniques for obtaining, organizing, and, in some cases,
analyzing the data contained in the multimedia data bases. The Program
Library provides a great amount of flexibility to the user and simplifies
the data retrieval process. One of the most useful options available to
the user is the system's ability in a retrieval operation to group data
into classes according to varying criteria. With respect to a hierarchical
tree structure, such as that of the EADS (Figure 2-1), this means that
data may be retrieved in many convenient ways (e.g., print all information
pertaining to a single site test activity, or list all sources equipped

with a specific control device and emitting a specific pollutant). These
retrieval features are discussed in greater detail in Section 5.
In addition to general sorting and retrieval options, the EADS also
can perform certain statistical, graphical, and plotting functions. And
more specialized options are also available. For example, control device
efficiency calculations can be performed, assuming that device inlet and
outlet emissions data are available. Another program calculates fractional
removal efficiencies of control devices in a fine particle stream. In
other words, it calculates the efficiency of a particulate control device
with respect to particle size. Other programs will search the data base
for specific compounds and pollutants. A user could, for example, search
the data base for a priority pollutant, a hazardous pollutant, or a
conventional wastewater pollutant.
Sections 4 and 5 describe in greater detail the various features
that EADS has to assist the user.
2.3-4
-------
2.4 DATA ORIGINS
One of the main purposes of EPA's Industrial Environmental Research
Laboratories is to prepare multimedia environmental assessments of energy
systems, stationary conventional combustion processes, and industrial
processes. In preparing these assessments, large amounts of multimedia
emission data on both controlled and uncontrolled sources must be
collected. In addition, the data collected during the assessment of one
source category are often needed for another study. The EADS was thus
created to organize, store, and facilitate the retrieval of these data.
EPA's EA program is expected to be the prime source of data that will be
entered into the EADS. The EADS will, however, not be limited to EA
programs, but will accept data from virtually any source yielding
multimedia emissions data.
Among other types, EADS is expected to include data from programs
designed for purposes of establishing emissions standards. EADS output
programs can assist in the analysis of that data. A substantial quantity
of data is expected to be entered into the EADS concerning industrial
effluent data as it corresponds to source type and generic control device
type. This information can then be statistically analyzed to determine
how specific pollutants from a particular source react to treatment in a
control device. The EADS will also contain toxic pollutant data from a
variety of sources, including POTW and municipal sewers.
In summary, there are no restrictions on the type of stationary
source multimedia emissions data that the EADS will accept. In fact,
users have every encouragement to enter their emissions data, for only a
comprehensive body of information will allow the EADS to reach its full
potential.
2.4-1
-------
2.5 CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA AND SOURCES
The EADS recognizes the sensitive nature of some stationary source
emissions data. Contractors may have clients who wish to remain anonymous
for a variety of reasons. The EADS has a special feature which is
designed to protect confidential or proprietary source data. This feature
may be implemented if the source owner chooses to do so. EPA and its
representatives (i.e., the EADS technical staff) will have no knowledge
whatsoever of the identity of the source. The manner in which this
important feature is implemented is very straightforward. The encoders
who are compiling the source emissions data simply ask the source owners
if they wish to remain anonymous. If they so choose, the data encoders
enter "CONFIDENTIAL" on the data input forms under site name and address.
The owners' source, name, and location thus remain anonymous.
In addition to being an advantage to source owners, this feature is
beneficial to the EADS itself. It enables the EADS to obtain, store, and
use multimedia emissions data that would otherwise be unavailable.
Confidentiality has already been frequently used with the original FPEIS
and has been a great aid in obtaining data. Source owners should not be
reluctant to enter data because of this feature.
2.5-1
-------
2.6 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES
This section will describe the quality assurance and quality control
activities which are performed on all data submitted to the EADS. A major
objective of EADS is to provide valid and useful data to the user
community. To ensure this as much as possible, each test series is
reviewed and approved by the EADS Technical Support Staff, and by the
submittor of the data, before it is loaded into the appropriate data base
(i.e., FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SDDS). The ultimate responsibility for
determining the validity of the data submitted lies with the encoder.
Only he can decide if the data truly represent the results of the test
program. It should be relatively easy for the encoder to determine the
validity of the data because of the comprehensive nature of the EADS
structure and specific data elements. For example, elements such as
detection limits on analytical instruments, sample size, sample aliquot
size, type of instrument used, and waste stream parameters at the time of
sampling all enable the encoder to make an intelligent judgment on the
validity of the data.
Upon receipt of the data submitted by the encoder, the EADS
Technical Support Staff begins the QA activities on the test series. The
EADS QA activities are shown schematically in Figure 2-2. The test series
received is processed through the EADS EDIT program* which produces an
easily read listing of the input data, a list of all errors detected, and
a list of all cards contained in the test series.
*The EDIT program is described in detail in the EADS User Guides,

The Technical Staff reviews the EDIT report, identifies and

submittor for review.
The QA procedure cycles between the encoder and the EADS staff
until the submittor approves the data for data base entry. The test
series data are then loaded into the data base management structure,
described in Section 3.2.2. The contents of the test series are then
available for public access.
The Technical Staff cannot and will not attempt to correct any
measured values; that is, those data such as values of pollutant
concentrations, source or control technology operating conditions, etc.
Any errors in these data must be identified and validated by the encoder
of the data. To put it simply, the Technical Staff corrects errors; it
does not validate data. The validity, representativeness, and, ultimately,
the quality of the data are the responsibility of the submittor of the
data.

SECTION 3.0
EADS DESCRIPTION AND ORGANIZATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the structure, contents, and data definitions
and protocols of the four EADS waste stream data bases (FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS,
and SDDS). From the fundamental structural components all the way to the
details of the data definitions, the EADS is designed to be flexible and
accessible to the users of the data bases.
The hierarchical structure of the data bases intuitively orders the
data from the general (source description) to the specific (analytical
results). The data are contained in four levels that form the pyramidal
structure, described in more detail in Section 3.2.
The four waste stream data bases are identical in structure, but
they have detail differences due to data protocols specific to each media.
They are interlinked to provide convenient access to data from multimedia
testing programs. Examples are given to illustrate the differences and
interfaces between the four data bases.
The EADS is designed to accommodate data from most testing, sampling,
and analysis programs. This is accomplished through the flexible structure
and data definitions. In addition, standard nomenclature has been developed
to describe several data elements in a consistent and familiar manner. This
expedites input processing and output requests.
3.1-1
-------
This section outlines these points. Further information may be found
in the EADS User Guides or from the EADS Technical Staff, whose names are
listed on page vii.
3.1-2

3.2 WASTE STREAM DATA BASE STRUCTURE
This section presents the fundamental structural components of the
EADS data base and shows how they are assembled to form a structural
hierarchy.
The four EADS waste stream data bases (FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, and SDDS)
have the same structure. Naturally, though, certain data elements will be
specific to one media only. Consequently, there will be detail differences
between data bases, but not structural differences.
3.2.1 EADS Nomenclature
Before presenting the details of the structure of the EADS, certain
terms used throughout the EADS documents are explained. These terms form
the foundation upon which all of the EADS waste stream data bases are
structured. Many of the terms will probably be familiar, but others such
as "test" may, in the context of EADS, have definitions that are slightly
different from the typical definition.
media — Used in reference to an effluent stream from a
stationary source. May be either fine particle,
gaseous, liquid, or solid. While not technically a
media, fine particles are considered apart from air due
to their environmental implications.
source -- A source may be either an industrial process, an energy
conversion facility, or a waste treatment/collection
system. It is the origin of one or more multimedia
effluent streams. An oil refinery and a coal-fired
powerplant would each be examples of a source.
stream — Any multimedia effluent discharging to the environment
from a stationary source.
3.2-1
-------
control device/treatment process — A device or process designed to
remove or treat a specific pollutant or pollutants from
an effluent stream.
control system — Frequently a discharge stream is controlled by a
number of control devices which may be in either a
series or parallel arrangement. The total group of
control devices (or processes) on that stream is
referred to as the control system.
level ~ A data base structural term used to differentiate
groupings of data within the data base. The EADS
contains four structural levels: the test series
level, the stream design level, the test operating
level, and the sample level.
test series — Taken in its broadest context, a test series
designates the sampling activities performed on a source
at a single site over a specified period of time (usually
continuous) with a specific control system employed.
test ~ A set of various types of samples taken to characterize
a source waste stream(s) under one set of source and
control device/treatment process operating conditions.
sample ~ The measurement or group of measurements taken with a
single measurement method or instrument to describe the
composition of a stream at a given point in time and at
a specific location.
component ~ Frequently a measurement instrument can be separated
into two or more components, each of which contains a
sample which may be analyzed separately or combined.
3.2-2
-------
3.2.2 Multilevel — Hierarchical Structure
The structure of the EADS data bases presents and organizes a
comprehensive set of data which describes the conduct, techniques,
conditions, and results of stationary source emission sampling and
analysis activities. Each variable or bit of data or information
concerning the source test is defined as a data element.
Several data elements or information items are required to
adequately describe the groups of information which are contained within
the EADS. From an organizational standpoint, the various data elements
are grouped in one of four levels: the test series level, the stream
design level, the test operating level, and the sample level. These
levels and their relationship are shown in Figure 3-1.
The key to this organization of data is the pyramid structure of
the EADS. All of the EADS waste stream data bases (GEDS, FPEIS, LEDS, and
SDDS) are structured in a similar manner. Looking at Figure 3-1, the
pyramid structure becomes evident. Data is arranged so that general
information, such as the source description and reference information, is
situated at the apex of the pyramid. The next level down contains design
information on the sources' effluent streams and control devices. The
pyramid further expands into the tests performed on each effluent stream
and the operating conditions of the source and control device(s) during
those tests. The final level in the pyramid contains data on each of the
samples taken during each test. This is the most specific information
contained in the data base. It includes chemical, physical, radionuclide,
and bioassay analytical results. Think of the pyramid structure as
descending from the general to the specific, the source description being
general and analytical results being the most specific.

The term "test series level" is used to designate the uppermost
level in the data base structure. This is where source description data
are contained. A single "test series" is composed of all data in the four
structural levels, the first of which has been designated the "test series
level". A test series designates the sampling activities performed at a
single site over a specified period of time (usually continuous) with a
specific control system employed. Each test series is assigned a unique
Test Series Number (TSN) which can always be used to identify that data.
The level following the test series level is the stream design
level. Here, each waste stream that has been sampled during the test
series is fully described with regard to design parameters. These include
control device/treatment process design parameters as well as stream
parameters (i.e., flowrate, temperature, pressure, etc.). Being design
data, the information at this level will not change within a test series,
barring, of course, any physical changes to the process, ductwork, or
control device. This is a highly unlikely situation. It is important to
keep in mind the meaning of a control device/treatment process. Fine
particle, gaseous, and liquid waste streams have control devices to reduce
emissions. Examples include ESP's, SO,., scrubbers, and wastewater clarifiers.
Solid discharge streams do not, however, have control devices per se. They
are "controlled" rather by treatment, storage, or recovery processes which in
some manner decrease the pollutant burden on the environment. Hence, the
terminology. Control Device/Treatment/Storage/Recovery Process.
Following the stream design level is the test operating level. As
the name implies, operating data for each test is defined here. Source
operating data, such as operating mode and feed material rate, and control
device/treatment process operating data are included. Here also, the
3.2-5
-------
fuels and feedstocks to the process are completely characterized. A test
Is broadly defined as a set of various types of samples (e.g., SASS,
continuous, grab, integrated grab, etc.) taken to characterize a source
waste stream(s) under one set of source and control device/treatment
process operating conditions.
The fourth level in the EADS structure is the sample level. All
details for each discrete sample taken during a test are contained here.
This includes measurement equipment particulars, measured stream conditions
at the sampling location, and complete physical, chemical, radionuclide,
and bioassay analysis data.
This level contains a "component" feature which enables one to
report data with respect to a measurement instrument component. For
example., a sampling instrument may have multiple components that collect
different samples simultaneously. Each sample component may be analyzed
separately or the samples may be combined and analyzed in some combination,
depending on the purpose of the test. EADS is designed to accommodate the
data in any arrangement, by allowing the encoder to define the components
of the sampling method according to the needs of the test or the analysis.
3.2.3 Waste Stream Data Base Contents
The previous section described the EADS hierarchical structure.
This section will elaborate on the contents of the four structural levels.
These levels are simply an organizational tool that logically
arranges the data from the user's standpoint. Each level contains
specific types or groups of data, shown in Figure 3-1, in the previous
section. The data are grouped into the following general categories: (a)
general source description and related information; (b) design conditions
and parameters of the effluent stream and of the control device or
3.2-6
-------
treatment/storage/recovery process; (c) test operating information including
analyses of any fuels and feedstocks; (d) sampling activity information
including chemical, physical, radionuclide, and bioassay analysis results.
The reader may find it useful to refer to the data input forms and the
descriptive glossary in the Appendix while reading about the data base contents,
3.2.3.1 Source Description
The first, or test series, level contains the data elements that
describe the source that was tested, the source location, and the reference
material from which the data were derived. Also in the test series level (in
the LEDS only) are data elements that contain wastewater collection system
effluent information.
To enable a general grouping of sources to be made and to facilitate
computer searches of particular source types, each source is to be described
using standard terms from the EADS Source Classification System.*
The NEDS Source Classification Codes (SCC) were formerly used with the FPEIS,
but to enhance flexibility, they have been replaced by the EADS system. The
NEDS SCC system had proved to be too cumbersome and archaic and had contained
terminology unfamiliar to users of environmental data. The EADS system
contains more familiar source terminology and, in addition,
contains a reference to the Standard Industrial Classification** (SIC) code for
cross-reference to other data systems.
*The listing of the EADS Source Classification System is in the
Terminology Reference Manual.
**Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Executive Office of the
President, Office of Management and Budget, prepared by the Statistical
Policy Division, 6PO Stock No. 4101-0066, 1972.
3.2-7
-------
The name of the testing organization and the reference (report,
journal article, etc.) from which the data have been extracted are
included. Additionally, comments or data may be included which may be
pertinent to the test series, but for which a specific data element is not
available.
3.2.3.2 Stream Design Characteristics
A description of the design conditions of the effluent stream at
the sampling location is contained within this group. This information
may include data elements such as flowrate, temperature, and pressure.
Because this is design information, the values will not change from test
to test, unless of course the control device or stream itself is altered
in some manner.
3.2.3.3 Control Device Design Characteristics
This grouping of data elements contains design information and
descriptions of the control system tested (if any) for the test series.
Standard nomenclature (see the Terminology Reference Manual) is used to
characterize the control device or treatment process. The commercial name
and manufacturer may also be entered. Design parameters provide additional
information on the control device or treatment process.
3.2.3.4 Test Identification
Data elements in this group describe actual operating conditions,
as opposed to design conditions, for the test, source, and control devices.
Included here is such information as test dates and times and operating
conditions of the source. Operating parameters describe the actual
characteristics of the control device.
3.2-8
-------
3.2.3.5 Fuels and Feedstocks Characteristics
This group contains data describing all fuels and feedstocks that
are Inputs to the process being tested. With today's synergistic
approaches to assessing environmental impacts and their control, it is
necessary to perform comprehensive material balances on a pollution source.
It is not enough to look only at outputs; inputs must be scrutinized also.
The EADS contains data on the consumption rate and type of fuel or
feedstock, and general characteristics such as physical parameters. In
addition to an ultimate and proximate analysis of the fuels fed to a
process, EADS is also designed to accept inorganic and organic chemical
data.
3.2.3.6 Sampling Activity Description
This group of data elements consists of information that describes
individual sampling activities, including actual measured stream conditions
at the sampling location, such as temperature, pressure, and moisture
content. In addition, the sampling location itself would be described in
such a manner that its location with respect to a control device or
treatment process would be clear.
3.2.3.7 Component Description
Frequently, a measurement instrument or sample contains two or more
components, each of which is analyzed separately. This group of EADS data
describes not only the sample collection instrument itself, but also each
component separately and reports the results obtained from the analysis
performed on each sample or component.
All of the chemical, physical, and radionuclide results are
reported at the component level. Bioassays may be performed using one
3.2-9
-------
sample component, but frequently components are combined to meet a minimum
sample quantity requirement. Consequently, these results are not reported
by component.
Space is provided to accommodate any qualitative measurement of an
effluent stream parameter, other than inorganic and organic chemical
species, radionuclide, and bioassay results. This will typically include
physical parameters of the sample such as opacity, odor, or color. For
LEDS only, there are standard terms to be used in describing the effluent
characteristics which are conventional wastewater pollutants.
3.2.3.8 Inorganic/Non-Level 1 Organic Analysis
The EADS is designed to accept all inorganic results and organic
results that do not conform to Level 1 protocols; that is, species-specific
organic results. Results of the inorganic or non-Level 1 analysis are
typically presented as the identification of the species analyzed and the
actual source concentration as contributed by each component.
The EADS provides flexibility for the identification of chemical
species. This is in recognition of the fact that there presently exists a
variety of coding systems for identifying chemical species and compounds.
The chemical ID used in reporting chemical data is likely to be one with
which the user is most familiar, based largely on the nature of the
project on which he is working. The EADS enables users to choose between
two chemical ID schema when they encode their data. These are the
Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) Registration Numbers,* and the
Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEG) Numbers.** A list of chemical

-------
compounds and elements is provided in the Terminology Reference Manual, in
preferred name order.
3.2.3.9 Level 1 Organic Analysis
Special provisions have been included to accommodate the organic
species reporting protocol of a Level 1 environmental assessment sampling
and analysis program. Level 1 organic analyses require special reporting
formats due to the mix of qualitative and semiquantitative results from
analyses such as liquid chromatography fractionation and low resolution
mass spectra. The purpose of this type of analysis is to identify the
major classes of organic compounds in a process effluent stream and to
estimate their concentrations. In Level 1, this is done by liquid
chromatography which separates a sample into fractions characterized by a
range of boiling points. These are called fraction ID'S and are labeled
LCI through LC7 — corresponding to groups of chemical species with
successively higher boiling points. Both the whole sample and the LC
fractions are analyzed for total chromatographable organics (TCO) and
gravimetric (Grav) organic concentrations. TCO analysis gives volatile
organic material, and Grav analysis yields nonvolatile organic material.
These data, in combination with qualitative results obtained from infrared
analysis, called intensity values, and information about the source, enable
the analyst to identify the chemical species in a waste stream sample.
Occasionally, individual species are identified in an extension of Level 1
analysis, and their concentrations are determined. The EADS is fully
capable of accepting all this data. In addition, fractions, organic
categories, and species are identified by a MEG Number, discussed in the
previous section. This is a unique ID for that species and is part of a
3.2-11
-------
system used in EA methodology for evaluating and ranking pollutants
according to environmental impact. The encoder must use MEG Numbers when
inputting EA data (i.e., Level 1).
3.2.3.10 Radionuclide Analysis
The EADS is designed to accept radionuclide data results. Actual
source concentrations of radionuclides are recorded. The isotopes most
likely to be of interest include the following: U-238, Ra-226, Pb-210,
PO-210, U-235, Th-232, Bi-212, Ac-228, and Bi-214. Also, space is
available to include metastable isotopes (i.e., Kr-85M).
3.2.3.11 Bioassay Analysis
As part of EPA's EA methodology, biological indicators are coupled
with chemical tests to assess the hazard potential of process waste
streams. The Level 1 screening phase uses a series of short-term
bioassays* to detect acute biological effects. Bioassays may be either
health-related or ecological tests. While EA methodology has specific
recommendations for applying bioassays to samples, it is frequently the
case that these recommendations cannot be followed. For example, EA
protocol says that particulates captured in a SASS train should be divided
into two components — those less than 3 microns and those greater than
3 microns. Frequently, it is the case that neither component separately
can meet the minimum sample quantity requirement for bioassay tests, so
the components must be combined.

3-2.4 Waste Stream Data Base Differences
The four waste stream data bases (FPEIS, 6EDS, LEDS, and SDDS) have
the same structure, but due to differences in media, the contents (or data
elements) are not identical. Each data base was designed for the sampling
and analysis methods specific to the media it covers, while retaining
structural similarities with the others for efficient cross linking for
multimedia sampling. This section will elaborate on some of the differences.
An obvious example occurs in the stream characteristics. The
encoder is interested in moisture content of a gaseous stream, but not of
a liquid effluent stream. Hence, this field is included in 6EDS, but not
in LEDS.
Several data elements are defined similarly, but the values are
entered in units suitable to the media. For example, the actual
concentration of a chemical compound is entered in micrograms per cubic
meter (GEDS and FPEIS), per liter (LEDS), or per gram (SDDS). When
comparing data from two or more media, the user should be alerted to these
differences.
In two of the data bases, FPEIS and LEDS, special data elements
were defined to accommodate important data specific to each media.
In the case of LEDS, an entire data input form is devoted to
wastewater collection system effluent information. This identifies the
site location (latitude and longitude) and the fraction of the influent
stream to a treatment works that is from industrial sources. Other data
elements contain the SIC code, the flow contributed by each industrial
activity, and the number of establishments in the service area.
For FPEIS, a special data input form is included for component level
data. Included are data elements for particulate sizing and for the
3.2-13
-------
particle stage weight or concentration. A short input form is to be used
if no chemical or radionuclide data will be reported for the component.
If this information will be reported, a longer form is used which includes
all the information on the short form in addition to chemical and
radionuclide data. The purpose of the short form is to save encoding time
and computer storage.
3.2.5 Waste Stream Data Base Interfaces
Because pollution controls are developed on a media-by-media and
pollutant-by-pollutant basis, EADS is composed of media-specific data base
systems. The four EADS waste stream data bases (FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, and
SDDS) are independent but interlinked to provide common accessibility to
data. Interlinking is necessary to enable a control strategy analyst or
an R&D program planner to select the most environmentally acceptable
control methods on a systems basis. When one considers the objectives and
scope of today's investigative and iterative environmental studies, it is
easy to see why interlinking is necessary. Environmental Assessments, for
example, are intended to determine comprehensive multimedia environmental
loadings and compare them to existing emissions and ambient standards.
Resulting health, ecological, and environmental effects, and cross-media
impacts and trade-offs are also assessed. It is necessary and useful to
examine and compare emissions across all media from a specific source.
3.2.5.1 Multimedia Test Series
Frequently in source sampling activities, multimedia effluent
samples are collected and analyzed. For example, to evaluate the total
environmental impact of a flue gas scrubber installation on a coal-fired
boiler, you would need to sample and analyze a variety of effluent streams
from different media. Among these might be the boiler bottom ash, the
3.2-14
-------
flue gas into and out of the scrubber, and the liquid slurry produced from
the scrubber treatment of the flue gas. These would be solid, gaseous,
and liquid effluents, respectively, all from one source. The analysis
data from each specific media effluent stream would be encoded in its
respective data base (e.g., gas stream analysis results would be encoded
into the GEDS). You might ask yourself how, if data from one source are
entered into four separate data bases in EADS, a user could benefit from
these data. Each data base contains a cross reference to the other data
bases containing data taken from the same source at the same point in time.
This cross reference is in the form of the Test Series Number (TSN). Thus,
in our example, the GEDS file would contain the FPEIS, LEDS, and SDDS TSN's
as cross references. In the same manner, test series in the other media
would contain a cross reference (TSN) to the GEDS data base.
3.2.5.2 FPEIS/GEDS Interface
The Source Assessment Sampling System (SASS)* is a measurement
instrument with multiple components that collect different compounds
simultaneously. The SASS train is the recommended EPA environmental
assessment measurement instrument for gaseous streams which may contain
fine particles. The SASS train has a set of three cyclones followed by a
filter which classifies fine particles in a gas stream according to size.
Each cyclone and the filter may be analyzed as a separate component or they
may be combined and analyzed in some combination, depending on the purpose
of the test. Simultaneously, other components collect gaseous organic
^Complete detailed information on the SASS can be found in IERL-RTP
Procedures Manual: LeveT'l Environmental Assessment (Second Edition),
EPA-600/7-78-201, October 1978.
3.2-15
-------
material and volatile trace elements. Typically, each SASS component is
subjected separately to a variety of analyses. EADS is designed to
accommodate the data resulting from such an arrangement.
The SASS is a special case however. Even though the SASS is one
sampling train, it produces data on fine particles and gaseous pollutants.
Thus, the fine particle data would be in FPEIS, with the cyclones and
filter being the components, and the organic and trace element data
collected from the organic module and impinger components would be in
GEDS. While this procedure may seem confusing while encoding data, it
will facilitate data output requests.
3.2.5.3 LEDS/SDDS Interface
Often a liquid effluent sample is filtered prior to analysis, and
the residue and filtrate are analyzed separately. EADS treats these two
samples as two components. However, since the residue sample is a solid
and the filtrate is a liquid, the resulting analysis data for each must be
encoded in a separate data base. The solid sample data must be encoded
into SDDS and the liquid sample data into LEDS.
Again, this procedure facilitates output requests, and the test
series in the two data bases will be cross-referenced for multimedia
analysis.
3.2.6 System Flexibility
While it may appear to the user that the EADS has many rules and
restrictions, the system has been designed with flexibility to accommodate
all data. Any computerized data system must reach a compromise between
flexibility and established rules to maintain a protocol. Indeed, once
the user becomes familiar with the system protocol, he will come to realize
that uniformity of terminology and units, for example, actually facilitates
3.2-16
-------
the use of the system rather than being a restriction. This section
describes some of the ways in which the system accomplishes this.
3.2.6.1 Structural Flexibility
Looking again at Figure 3-1, it is easy to see the flexibility of
the data base structure. Each test series includes information and data
from one stationary source in a given time period with one particular
source/control system. Each source, however, can contain any number of
effluent streams in any media. The data system is capable of accommodating
as many effluent streams as are tested. In the same manner, each stream
is likely to be tested a number of times under a variety of source and
control device operating conditions. Again, the data system will
accommodate information from any number of tests performed on each
effluent stream. Frequently an effluent stream is sampled with a variety
of measurement methods under each set of source/control operating
conditions. The data system will accommodate information from any number
of samples obtained during each test on each stream.
The EADS will contain many test series each structured in a similar
manner. The EADS will accept a test series of any size, regardless of the
number of effluent streams, tests, or samples.
3.2.6.2 Comments Sections
In the development of the EADS, every effort was made to include
data elements to cover most types and amounts of data, typical of a
sampling and analysis program. However, the data elements that comprise
the EADS waste stream data bases may not be appropriate for all the data
that are taken during the testing or sampling activity. Or, the data may
not fit into the available space on the encoding forms.
3.2-17
-------
The EADS is designed to accommodate all data by providing comments
sections where any data or remarks may be entered. Also, in a number of
cases, additional cards may be included when extra space is required.
3.2.6.3 Confidential Data
An important feature to note is that the EADS can protect confidential
or proprietary source data.* This enables the EADS to store data from
sources which would otherwise be unavailable to the EADS. Neither EPA nor
any other user will have any knowledge of the identity of the source. This
feature has been used with the original FPEIS and has been a great aid in
obtaining data.
3.2.6.4 Labor Saving Features
In developing the data input forms and the data processing programs,
several labor saving features have been introduced. These features reduce
time, labor, and cost on the part of the encoder and the keypuncher.
The "Repetitive Data Feature" (RDF) is an important labor saving
device because it frees the encoder from having to enter repetitive
data.** When large amounts of unchanging data are entered into the data
base, this feature will save considerable time and effort. For example,
control device design parameters will not change between tests performed
at different operating conditions. Rather than having to encode these
parameters and values for each test, the RDF enables the encoder to make
the entries for the first test only. The identical entries for design
parameters are automatically filled in for the remainder of the tests.
*The submitter simply enters "CONFIDENTIAL" in those fields which identify
the source.
**The repetitive data feature is discussed in detail in the EADS User
Guides.
3.2-18
-------
Another benefit is reducing the amount of verifying that is needed to
ensure the validity of the data. Putting in additional data or deleting
existing values can also be accommodated by the repetitive data feature.
Another labor saving device involves the control device and design
and operating parameter data. If two different effluent streams in a test
series have the same control device or treatment process applied, all the
data on the control device and its design specifications may be referenced
by the unique device number assigned to the control or process. The
information is entered for the first stream, and automatically repeated
for the second by specifying only the device number. Similarly, the
operating parameters, as encoded for the first test, are repeated
automatically for subsequent tests unless changed or deleted.
3.2-19

3.3 DATA DEFINITION AND PROTOCOL
A major function of the EADS is to provide quality data that is
readily accessible for environmental analysis. The data elements that
constitute the EADS waste stream data bases are designed to accommodate
most testing, sampling, and analysis data. The data definitions are
intended to be flexible and understandable to the encoders and the users
of the data in the EADS.
To facilitate output requests and sorting of data, lists of standard
terms have been developed for certain data elements. This provides
consistent and familiar terminology to characterize and define the source,
the feed material, and other sampling and analysis protocols. Standard
units are also used in most cases, allowing convenient comparisons of data
from different sources and media.
To provide the user with a means to assess the quality of the
sampling and analysis data, the EADS has references to a quality assurance
data base which contains reports on audits of the analytical laboratories.
This section elaborates on these points.
3.3.1 Standard Nomenclature
The EADS has been designed to aid researchers in environmental
assessment, source characterization, and control technology development
activities. Standard nomenclature or terminology is used to aid in
entering and retrieving information from the EADS. To selectively
retrieve data from the waste stream data bases, consistent terminology
must be used if the computer search is to obtain an exact match.
3.3-1
-------
The Terminology Reference Manual* contains tables of standard
nomenclature used to describe certain data categories in the waste stream
data bases. The terminology is used to categorize sources, describe
control technology, identify chemical compounds and elements, describe
analytical methods in sample analysis, and list other data. The
terminology applies to fine particle, gas, liquid, and solid discharge
effluent streams.
3.3.1.1 Using Standard Nomenclature to Retrieve Data
The use of standard nomenclature enables the users to request
computer searches and sorting of data. Computerized information retrieval
systems require standard terms for specific data selection to be made.
Computers search for and select data by comparing the selected
value to a known value. When alphanumeric characters are specified, such
as in the name of a control device, the selected value must match the
known value
exactly. For example, if "ESP" is the standard term, or known value, and
a search is made for it, all entries in the data base with the value "ESP"
will be selected. However, entries having the value "ELECTROSTATIC
PRECIPITATOR" will not be chosen, although it is technically correct. As
far as the computer is concerned, the two data are not equal and do not
match, and the selection will fail.
Therefore, to ensure that uniform selection criteria are possible,
the encoder selects terms from lists of standard nomenclature for certain
data elements. Whenever a computer search for data from one of these data
elements is requested, it is essential that correct spelling is used, or
the request will fail.
*Environmental Assessment Data Systems: Terminology Reference Manual,
Larkin, R.J., Ballard, B., Editors, EPA-600/8-80-011, February 1980.
3.3-2
-------
After the data are encoded, but before they are loaded into the data
base, a program edits the data to ensure correctness. This EDIT program
will check the entries for those data elements that require standard
nomenclature by matching the entry with the standard list to check for
spelling, etc. This procedure will ensure that the data are correctly
encoded and that a subsequent computerized data search will be successful.
(The reader is referred to the User Guides,* Section 5, for a discussion
of the EDIT Program, and to Section 7 for more detail on the other report
programs.)
3.3.1.2 Adaptability/Flexibility
These lists of standard nomenclature are not fixed but are expandable
and will likely be expanded on a continuing basis. The encoder may suggest
additions to the lists by contacting the EADS Program Manager, who will
approve the new term(s) and add them to the list. As additional entries are
included in the tables of standard nomenclature, the Terminology Reference
Manual will be updated, and revisions will be issued to those with
registered documentation.
The EADS Source Classification System has been developed to describe
the source. The source is defined by four data elements, with increasingly
specific descriptors. The intent of this type of organization is to be

3.3-3
-------
general enough to accommodate most, if not all, sources, but at the same
time maintain a flexible mechanism for sorting data by source
characteristics. The focus of this classification system is to use
familiar terminology to describe the source that will be meaningful to the
user. For example, one could use this terminology to search EADS for all
data pertaining to "tangential utility boilers" or data from "high Btu
coal gasifiers using the Lurgi process." Furthermore, one could sort data
from these sources adding other qualifiers; for example, design process
rate or feed material category. Other source classification systems, such
as the NEDS SCC codes, do not have this degree of flexibility.
For convenient sorting and searching of information, other data in
the EADS for which standard nomenclature has been developed include the
feed material, control device or treatment process, design and operating
parameters, sampling method, laboratory analysis method, names of chemical
species, and bioassay data.
3.3.2 Standard Engineering Units
The EADS uses metric units exclusively. While every attempt has
been made to use SI (International System of Units) protocol, some data
elements are expressed in the metric equivalent of a more common English
unit. This is consistent with EPA policy regarding the use of metric
units.
The Terminology Reference Manual contains a list of accepted
engineering units to be used in encoding data into the EADS. We recognize
the inconvenience for the encoder in requiring specific units for the
input data, but data in standardized units will be valuable to the user
who retrieves information from the EADS. The data will be in consistent
units and will be readily comparable for environmental analysis.
3.3-4
-------
The EADS contains data which follow EPA's Level 1 protocols for
reporting chemical species data.* For example, concentrations are reported
in micrograms per cubic meter for a gas stream, per liter for a liquid
effluent stream, or per gram for a solid discharge stream. Also, total
chromatographable organics (TCO) and gravimetric analysis results are
reported in milligrams.
Bioassay data are reported in terms and units which are in common
engineering practice. This will provide a consistent basis for data
analysis by the user of the information in the EADS.
3.3.3 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The EADS contains data elements that assist the user in assessing
data quality, accuracy, and validity. These include identification of the
testing group, analysis methods, sampling methods, high and low detection
limits of the analytical methods, total sample quantities and aliquots,
analytical laboratories, and reference to any laboratory QA audit
information. Analytical laboratory audits are routinely performed by
government organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency. The
results of such audits can be valuable in assessing the reliability and
accuracy of analytical results. The audit information is contained in a
separate reference data base which is accessed through a QA/QC code
reported in the EADS.
The QA/QC codes are obtained by the user from the EADS Program
Manager at the time the EADS data input forms are encoded. Each

Edition), EPA-600/7-78-201, October 1978.
3.3-5
-------
analytical laboratory that has undergone a QA/QC audit will be assigned a
unique QA/QC code. The code refers the user to a reference data base
which contains the results of the audit. These QA/QC audits describe the
efficiency and effectiveness of a particular laboratory in recovering a
known concentration of a chemical species from a spiked sample, thereby
giving the user of the laboratory's services an appraisal of the
laboratory's performance. The QA/QC data base will contain each chemical
species reported and will identify the analysis method used to detect the
chemical. Also, the number of samples submitted, the average percent of
recovery and its standard deviation, and the quality control frequency are
reported for each chemical species or compound in the audit.
In the final analysis, the EADS QA/QC data elements, however, only
ensure the correctness of the data on an as reported basis. The
responsibility for data validity lies with the people who collect and
input the data.

SECTION 4.0
REFERENCE DATA BASES AND USER SOFTWARE
4.1 INTRODUCTION
As discussed earlier, the EADS is composed of two general types of
computerized data bases: the waste or product stream data bases that
report actual process discharge data and the reference data bases that
provide ancillary data or information pertaining to the interpretation of
the waste stream data. This section describes the reference data bases
presently contained in the EADS and identifies the role each fulfills in
the use of the EADS.
The reference data bases will vary dramatically in the type of
information and the manner in which the data are utilized. As the needs
of the EADS user community grow, additional reference data bases will be
developed and implemented. Separate user documentation will be issued on
each data base in a format consistent with the other EADS User Guides.
4.1-1
-------
4.2 EADS TERMINOLOGY DATA BASE (TERMS)
The EADS waste stream data bases require that standard nomenclature
be used for certain data elements. Much of this standard nomenclature is
contained in computerized form in the EADS Terms data base and is reported
in the EADS Terminology Reference Manual (EPA-600/8-80-011, February
1980). The TERMS data base is used by all waste stream data bases to
check the validity of new data submitted for entry. It will be updated
routinely as new terminology is needed.
4.2.1 Origin of the TERMS Data Base
The development of the EADS waste stream data bases identified
several data variables requiring standard terminology to ensure proper
selection during any data selection or retrieval activities. Tables of
values for the standard nomenclature were compiled for each variable, and
it became evident that several of the tables would be lengthy and would
require frequent updating to be current with rapid changes in
terminology. The computerization of the largest tables was recommended as
the most cost-effective means of ensuring the availability of current
information.
In addition, the fact that most users of the EADS will use the
Terminology Reference Manual frequently, requires that this document be
revised often. Clearly, the re-editing and recompilation of large volumes
of data would be costly and time-consuming if done manually.
Consequently, special computer programs were developed so that the tables
can be generated directly from the TERMS data base. As the Terminology
Reference Manual is revised, affected tables will be recreated and will
completely replace the outdated tables.
4.2-1
-------
4.2.2 Description of the TERMS Data Base
The TERMS data base is a SYSTEM 2000^ data base, like the other
EADS data bases; however, TERMS may undergo frequent structural revisions
to add new tables as the need arises. The other EADS data bases are
expected to be more stable. The tables included in the TERMS data base
are described below.
The Chemical Data Table (CDT) is perhaps the most used table in the
TERMS data base. The CDT identifies chemical compounds and species for
entry to the EADS waste stream data bases by the MEG ID Number and the
Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) Registry Number. For each compound, the
CDT reports the preferred name and any synonyms by which the compound is
known, as well as the molecular weight and empirical formula. Whether or
not the chemical is listed as a priority or hazardous pollutant is
indicated. As new chemicals of special interest to EPA are identified,
they will be added to the CDT.
The EADS waste stream data bases require that the type of
industrial or energy process be clearly identified. To facilitate the
identification of process sources, the Environmental Assessment Source
Classification System (EASCS) was created. The components of the EASCS
are Source Category, Source Type, Product/Device Type, and Process Type.
Related to the EASCS, and included in the TERMS data base, is the Feed
Material Category. These data elements are defined in the EADS User
Guides, and in the glossary in the Appendix of this manual.
Information on control technology was also expected to change
frequently; therefore, several tables were added to the TERMS data base.
One table contains the Generic Type, Design Type, and Specific
Process/Design Name for each media specific control technique.
4.2-2
-------
A second table lists suggested design and operating parameters by Generic
Type and Design Type. Related to control technology are tables for Device
Class and Device/Process Category keywords. All of these data elements
are defined in the glossary and in the EADS User Guides.
In the Liquid Effluents Data System (LEDS), the effluents
characteristics data include the classic wastewater pollutants (e.g.,
Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids). Codes for data entry are
listed in the TERMS data base.
Bioassay tests have a unique terminology that is often difficult to
use. A table for Bioassay Test Type and Bioassay Test Name is included in
the TERMS data base.
In addition to providing direct support to the EADS waste stream
data bases, the TERMS data base also supports another reference data base,
the Project Profile System (see Section 4.3), and supports the data
submittal and review cycle. The Project Profile checklist codes and
descriptions are included for reference by the Project Profile System.
Also, the EADS Error Messages reported in the EDIT program output and
described in detail in the EADS User Guides are tablulated in the TERMS
data base. The messages identify efforts in the use of the other standard
nomenclature during the encoding of data for the waste stream data bases.
This is described more completely in the EADS User Guides.
4.2.3 Applicability to the EADS
From the preceding discussions, the applicability of the TERMS data
base to the EADS is clear. The successful processing of new field
sampling data depends upon the TERMS data base to compare data fields for
encoding errors. Also, when retrieving data, the use of standard
4.2-3
-------
nomenclature to describe data elements allows convenient searching and
sorting of data.
Moreover, the availability of the TERMS data base allows for
frequent updating of the EADS Terminology Reference Manual, to ensure that
users have access to current documentation.
4.2-4
-------
4.3 PROJECT PROFILE SYSTEM (PPS)
The Project Profile System (PPS) is a project management
information system that has been developed primarily to support a single
program: the Conventional Combustion Environmental Assessment (CCEA).
The PPS contains data on projects conducted by EPA, DOE, etc., that
pertain to the broad category of conventional combustion. These projects
are grouped into nine different types as follows:
Fuels
Emissions/Effluents Monitoring
Sampling and Analysis Methods Development
Control Technology
Transport, Transformation, and Fate
Health Effects
Ecological Effects
Socio-economic Factors
Integrated Assessments
For the appropriate project types, much of the same terminology from the
EADS waste stream data bases is used. The principal difference is that
the PPS does not contain any numerical data; that is, the PPS may identify
what pollutant was measured, but it will not report any concentration
values. The PPS is used by the CCEA program to identify, catalog, and
manage information on conventional combustion processes.
4.3.1 Origin of the PPS
The CCEA program demonstrates a comprehensive approach to identify,
acquire, and analyze all information relevant to the environmental
assessment of conventional combustion processes. The purpose is to
provide to EPA, other Federal and State agencies concerned with
4.3-1
-------
environmental protection, combustion and control equipment designers and
users, and other interested parties, valid, comprehensive information to
form the basis for specifying those activities and procedures that will
enable operation of such processes in a manner protecting human health and
welfare, and the nation's air, water, and land resources.
Because of the fundamental importance and widespread use of
combustion devices for energy production, industrial processing, space
heating, and many other purposes, identification of potentially harmful
substances released from combustion and ancillary equipment and processes
is essential. Quantification of amounts released under various operating
conditions is equally as important. This identification and
quantification requires the application of, and quite often the
development of, reliable and accurate techniques for sampling and
analysis. The transport of pollutant species, distribution, and possible
transformation of such species must be understood and quantified. The
acute and chronic effects of pollutants on human health and on the
ecosystem must be understood and quantified. Critieria for the quality of
the media — air, water, and land -- must be developed and specified as
environmental goals set with due regard for human health, ecological
integrity, and the realization that a careful balance must be maintained
between a thriving, technology based society and its natural environment.
Comparing these environmental goals with the types and rates of
emission of pollutant species from combustion sources burning various
fuels provides a measure of the degree of control that must be employed to
attain the desired goals. The availability of effective control devices
and processes must be ascertained, and the necessary research and
4.3-2
-------
development stimulated to produce more effective controls where needed.
Among the important outputs of the CCEA program are recommendations for
environmental standards. These recommendations are based on the perceived
scope of the environmental impact, the types of pollutants involved, and
the state of the art of the control technology available with
quantification of its cost, energy usage, and effectiveness.
Because of the complexity of the CCEA program and the large amount
of information and data that must be assembled and analyzed to direct the
program toward its objectives, it was hypothesized that a computer-based
management information system could be a cost-effective tool for program
management. Accordingly, a pilot-type demonstration using only a few
projects to illustrate the method was proposed, authorized, and
conducted. The demonstration proved the feasibility of the concept and
the development of the PPS ensued.
4.3.2 Description of the PPS Data Base
ffh
The PPS is a SYSTEM 2000vv data base that has been implemented
on the UNI VAC 1100 computer system at EPA's National Computer Center,
Research Triangle Park, NC. Detailed descriptions of the data base and
available program library software may be found in the EADS User Guide:
Project Profile System (PPS), EPA-600/8-80-037, June 1980. This
discussion is intended only to provide a general overview of the types of
data contained in the PPS.
The data stored in the PPS are compiled on the basis of projects
instead of test sites as is the case of the EADS waste stream data bases.
For example, the environmental assessment project for a particular
industrial process may involve the sampling of many multimedia test sites,
4.3-3
-------
each of which would be reported separately in FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SDDS.
In the PPS, however, there would be only one entry for the overall project.
The organization structure of the PPS is shown in Figure 4-1. Each
project entered into the data base is identified by a unique Project
Profile Number (PPN). The PPN may be used to refer to a particular
project profile when searching the data base or retrieving data. As seen
in Figure 4-1, the top level or tier of each project profile contains
administrative data on the project. These data include the identification
of the contractor and sponsor, the period of performance, the level of
funding, the contract number, etc. Any reports from the project are
identified by title, author(s), publication date, etc., and a narrative
abstract describes the nature of the project.
The second level reports on specific activities performed by the
contractor during the course of the project. The nature of the data
reported varies dramatically by project type. The third level reports
specific programs or definable subsets of work under each activity. The
fourth and lowest level in the structure describes the detailed attributes
of the activity and program. For example, this level identifies any
pollutants measured or examined, describes analyses performed, etc. In
essence, it tells what was done or what the objective was.
This arrangement of information allows the user to track data from
the most specific case upward through the hierarchical structure to the
more general case. It provides maximum flexibility to the user in
responding to a diverse area of inquiries. In an abstract sense, this may
be somewhat difficult to visualize; however, Table 4-1 contains a list of
the general types of data reported at each tier of the data base

4.3.3 Applicability to the EADS
The PPS provides a guide or "road map" to combustion data stored in
the EADS waste stream data bases. While the PPS identifies what work was
done, the EADS waste stream data bases contain the actual results. In the
context of the CCEA, the PPS will provide important initial information
about projects relating to a particular aspect of conventional combustion
(e.g., who did the work, were there any reports, what pollutants were
measured, etc.). If there are sampling data in the EADS from that
particular project, references to the EADS TSN's will be given in the
Project Profile. In this way, the user can obtain the actual data if he
wishes.
Of course, not all project types reported in the PPS will be
relevant to the EADS waste stream data bases. An attempt has been made,
however, to utilize the standard EADS terminology protocol described in
the EADS Terminology Reference Manual, EPA-600/8-80-011, February 1980.
Should the need arise, the design of the PPS will allow its
application to industrial source categories other than conventional
combustion. For the present, though, the PPS will continue to support
only the CCEA.

4.4 MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS DATA SYSTEM (MEGDAT)
MEGDAT is a technical data base that contains comprehensive
properties, toxicology, and regulatory data on organic and inorganic
compounds and species. These data provide basic reference information to
users of the EADS waste stream data bases who may wish to perform
different analyses using the data, such as determination of acute or
chronic effects due to exposure to a possibly hazardous pollutant.
4.4.1 Origin of MEGDAT
The MEGDAT data base represents the result of the decision by
IERL/RTP to computerize the Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEG's) data
developed by Research Triangle Institute as part of the methodology of the
IERL/RTP EA program for energy processes. The concept of the MEG's is
described in detail in Cleland, J. G., and G. L. Kingsbury, Multimedia
Environmental Goals for Environmental Assessment, Volumes I and II,
Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC. EPA-600/7-77-136a,b
(November 1977).
In this synopsis of the MEGDAT data base, the background discussion
on the MEG's will be kept necessarily brief.
To provide for comprehensive environmental assessments, the
Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory at Research Triangle Park has
developed a protocol to facilitate quantitative evaluation and comparison
of streams and processes with respect to their potential environmental
impacts. The methodology prescribes a systematic approach to the
interpretation of data obtained in environmental assessment projects. In
order to fully characterize waste streams for environmental assessment,
pollutant levels must be related to their environmental effects. The
4.4-1
-------
development of MEG's is a first attempt at a procedural approach to
evaluate and rank a large number of pollutants for the purpose of
environmental assessment.
MEG's are defined as levels of contaminants or degradents (in
ambient air, water, or land or in emissions or effluents conveyed to
ambient media) that will not produce negative health or ecological effects
in the surrounding environment, or that represent control limits
demonstrated to be achievable through state-of-the-art technology.
Emphasis thus far in the MEG's development has been focused on specifying
three types of goals: levels desirable in ambient media, existing levels
of ambient media (natural background), and levels believed safe for
exposure of limited duration.
The primary objective in compiling MEG's has been to provide an
index to allow quantitative comparison and evaluation of the hazards posed
by a large number of chemical substances. The MEG's project began with
the compilation of a list of chemical contaminants associated with fossil
fuel processes. The more than 600 chemicals on the list were organized
into categories effectively grouping chemically and toxicologically
similar substances. (Identification numbers for specific compounds were
subsequently assigned on the basis of the category organization.) In the
next step of the MEG's development, existing Federal regulations and
guidelines applicable to chemical substances were assembled. Other types
and sources of available information relevant to environmental goals were
also identified. Finally, a suitable presentation format, the MEG chart,
was adopted, and a one-page information summary was prepared to accompany
and support the numerical goals for each chemical. The disadvantages of
this format were soon discovered as the original list of compounds was
4.4-2
-------
expanded. The computerization of all the MEGs was determined to be the
most effective means of updating new MEG data and disseminating
information to the environmental assessment user community. Thus, the
concept of MEGDAT was born.
4.4.2 Description of MEGDAT
Like the other EADS data bases, MEGDAT is a SYSTEM 2000® data
base, and MEGDAT is structured in a hierarchical or tiered manner. The
data are organized according to specific compounds or elements. Thirteen
separate categories of information may be reported for each chemical
listed in the data base. These information types and the specific data
supplied are given in Table 4-2. The 13 information types are stored
according to the data base structure shown in Figure 4-2.
Each compound or chemical species stored in MEGDAT is identified by
a. unique, six-character MEG ID Number. While the Chemical Abstracts
Services Registry Number is also reported for each chemical, the MEG ID
has been designed to further classify the chemical as a member of a family
or class of compounds. The first two characters of the MEG ID identify
the Category of the compound. For example, Category 01 identifies
aliphatic hydrocarbons. Addition of the third character of the MEG ID
provides the Sub-Category. Following the same example, 01A identifies
alkanes and cyclic alkanes; 01B identifies alkenes, cyclic alkenes, and
dienes; and QIC identifies alkynes. The last three characters identify a
specific compound (e.g., 01B062 identifies Cis-2-Butene). As seen from
Table 4-2, MEGDAT may report a wealth of information about chemical
compounds. A detailed discussion of those data is beyond the scope of
this synopsis. The reader is referred to the aforementioned report or to
the EADS User Guides for more detail.

Figure 4-2. MEGDAT Data Base Structure
-------
4.4.3 Applicability to the EADS
Utilization of MEGDAT data in conjunction with data from the EADS
waste stream data is expected to be extensive. MEGDAT data will be
particularly applicable to computations that require exposure limits for
certain chemicals so that the environmental impacts of multimedia
discharge streams may be determined. Such computations, models, etc., are
varied in nature. Attempting to discuss all possible uses of the data in
those applications is impractical here. As new user programs are added to
the Program Library (described in Section 5) for each data base, any
involvement of MEGDAT will be defined clearly.
MEGDAT is unique in that it contains both toxicological data and
regulatory data. Clearly, there are other data bases available to the
user which contain more comprehensive properties data, health effects
data, ecological data, etc., separately, but it is unlikely that these
other data bases contain as much detail on such a variety of subjects as
MEGDAT. There is great utility in having a single source of comprehensive
data.
It must be acknowledged, however, that despite its comprehensiveness,
MEGDAT is rather narrow in scope at present. The focus to date in
compiling data for entry to MEGDAT has been on those compounds pertaining
to energy processes, and it is recognized that these represent only a
small fraction of the thousands of chemical substances that may adversely
impact the environment. MEGDAT will be expanded to include chemicals
found in or produced by other industrial processes. The extent to which
new data are added will depend upon the need and the availability of
resources to do the job. It is very unlikely that MEGDAT data will be
4.4-6
-------
compiled on all chemical substances; however, no limit on the number of
chemicals to be reported in MEGDAT has been set.
4.4-7
-------
SECTION 5.0
PROGRAM LIBRARY
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The usefulness and usability of industrial discharge data which have
been compiled into a computerized information system are limited if the
data cannot be retrieved and utilized to answer questions that a user might
($\
have. As discussed previously, the employment of the SYSTEM 2000^-''data
base management system provides a flexible set of commands that can often
(o\
answer many questions. SYSTEM 2000v-yNatural Language, as this command
language is called, is a powerful tool for the knowledgeable user; that is,
the user who is familiar with or has received training in the use of
(Tl
SYSTEM 2000V^ Most EADS users are not likely to undertake training in
(T)
the use of SYSTEM 2000^Natural Language, nor should these users be
expected to have any particular expertise in the use of computers or
computer programs. This means than no user of the EADS should be required
to have any special computer-related training in order to use the EADS data
bases.
In order to provide greater flexibility to the user and to simplify
the retrieval of data, an extensive program library has been developed for
the EADS. The programs described in the following subsections are
applicable to one or more of the waste stream data bases contained in the
EADS.
5.1-1
-------
Each entry in the program library is described by a brief abstract
which identifies in general terms the input required from the user and the
output to be expected. The details of each Program Library entry are
given in the EADS User Guides.
As new user programs are developed and made available to the EADS
user community, this section will be expanded.

5.2 SERIES REPORT
5.2.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
5.2.2 Abstract
The SERIES Report is the basic report for the EADS waste stream data
bases. This report lists all of the data contained in the test series by
stream, test operating level, and sample. The length of the SERIES Report
will depend upon the quantity of data contained in the test series.
The format of the SERIES Report follows the structure of the EADS
data base. The first page of the report describes the source that was
sampled, identifies the sponsor of the testing and the organization which
did the actual testing, and provides any comnentary on the test series
which was included. Beginning with the second page, the report describes
the effluent stream level, including the control/treatment technology
design parameters. Following this, the testing operating level is
reported which includes the control/treatment technology operating
parameters and the description of the source fuel or feed material. Next,
the sample level and any subsequent components are described. These data
include the chemical, radiological, and biological analysis results. The
chemical data may include Level 1 Environmental Assessment data as well as
compound-specific data for inorganics and organics. The chemical and
radiological data for various sampling components are summarized by
chemical/radiological species (or Level 1 fraction).
For the FPEIS, the SERIES Report provides calculated particle size
distributions for impaction-type sampling equipment including cumulative
mass concentrations, geometric mean diameters, etc. Where other types of
samples are used, the mass or number concentration is provided. The data
5.2-1
-------
are given as a function of particle size; that is, as a function of
components of the sampling system.
Using the EADS waste stream data base name and the TSN, the selected
test series is retrieved and printed in its entirety. Multiple SERIES
Reports may be initiated during one session. The SERIES Report may be run
by inputting the TSN and the data base name. The report may be initiated
only through a "demand" terminal session although the SERIES program is
only executed as a batch job. The demand session gives complete instructions
for using the SERIES Report program. The SERIES Report program user has
several printing options available, including the National Computer Center
local printers, remote high-speed terminal printers, and low-speed time-
sharing (demand) terminals. Because of the length of the SERIES Report for
most of the test series, it is recommended that the low-speed terminal
option be avoided where possible.
5.2-2
-------
5.3 CHEMICAL SEARCH PROGRAM'
5.3.1 Applicability: FPEIS, 6EDS, LEDS, SDDS
5.3.2 Abstract
The Chemical Search Program (CHEM-SEARCH) enables the user to search
all or part of the EADS waste stream data bases to determine the presence
of a particular chemical species. The user may identify the chemical
species by its CAS Number, its MEG Number, or its empirical formula. If a
search is to be made of part of a data base, the data base name must be
given and the range of TSN's must be specified. Both demand and batch
versions of the program are available to the user. The demand version
provides complete instructions on the use of the program through an
interactive interface with the user. A "Help" command is also available
to users who encounter problems.
Using the user-supplied data on a particular chemical species, the
CHEM-SEARCH program initially checks the EADS Chemical Data Table (CDT),
which is listed in the Terminology Reference Manual, to verify that a
valid species has been requested. If so, both the MEG ID and CAS Number
are retrieved. The program next scans all of the data bases specified
using both the MEG ID and the CAS Number to search for the chemical. If
at least one occurrence of the species is found within a test series, that
test series is listed in the output. If no data are found in the entire
data base, this fact is also listed in the output.
The user is cautioned to use care when selecting the Empirical
Formula format option for organic compounds. Since several organic
compounds of the same class may have the same formula (e.g., isomers), it
would likely be safer to search on the basis of the MEG ID or the CAS
Number.
5.3-1
-------
The output from the CHEM-SEARCH program provides additional
information on the chemical species selected, including the MEG ID Number,
CAS Number, empirical formula, preferred name, molecular weight, other
names by which the chemical is known, and whether or not the chemical is
designated as a priority pollutant, hazardous pollutant, or both. For
each data base scanned, the TSN is listed for those test series in which
the chemical of interest is reported. The program does not report the
concentration of the chemical species. The selection criteria require
only that the chemical species be found once in a given test series even
though multiple occurrences of the chemical may be present. It is
recommended that the user request the SERIES Report for each test series
identified in order to get more information.
5.3-2
-------
5.4 SERIES SUMMARY INFORMATION PROGRAM
5.4.1 Applicability: FPEIS, 6EDS, LEDS, SDDS
5.4.2 Abstract
The Series Summary Information Program (SNAP-SHOT) is a brief report
which sunmarizes the contents of an EADS test series. The report gives an
indication of "what" is contained in the test series without getting into
details. It will provide the user with an overview of the test series in
a brief format that would ordinarily require the obtaining of a more
detailed and lengthy SERIES Report.
The format of the SNAP-SHOT Report follows the SERIES Report very
closely; it is as if a "snap-shot" had been made of the SERIES Report.
The first page of the SNAP-SHOT Report is the same as the first page of
the SERIES Report; that is, the source that was sampled is described in
terms of its industrial categorization and location (if available), the
sponsor of the testing and the organization which performed the work are
identified, and any comments on the test series are provided. Any EADS
test series which contains data from other media that were collected at
the same time are identified, and a list of references pertaining to the
test series is provided. Next, a summary of the data to be found in the
test series is given, including the type of waste or product streams
reported, the type of control technology applied (if any), the number of
discrete samples collected and whether they were collected from a control
system inlet or outlet, and whether or not data are present for the sample
on the results of inorganic/non-Level 1 organic analysis, Level 1 organic
analysis, radionuclide analysis, and bioassay. Finally, the total number
of effluent or product streams is given along with the total number of
samples reported.
5.4-1
-------
The SNAP-SHOT program may be qualified by any combination of five
parameters to select several test series, or a specific range of TSN's may
be specified by the user. The five parameters which may be chosen are as
follows:
Source Category
Source Type
Product/Device
Process Type
Feed Material Category
Acceptable data for these parameters may be found in the Terminology
Reference Manual in Table A-l for the first four parameters and in
Table A-2 for the Feed Material Category. The user may specify any
combination of these parameters to retrieve summary information from a
particular data base. For example, a user may request SNAP-SHOT reports
for all test series where the Source Type equals UTILITY, Product/Device
equals BOILER, and Feed Material Category equals COAL; that is, the user
wants to identify all test series on coal-fired, utility boilers. The
user is not required to utilize this parameter option. He may instead
specify a single TSN or a range of TSN's.
The SNAP-SHOT program may be initiated either through a "demand"
(time-sharing) session or through submitting a batch job. The demand
version of the program prompts the user with complete instructions for its
use.
The SNAP-SHOT program user has several printing options available
including the National Computer Center local printers, remote high-speed
terminal printers, and low-speed time-sharing (demand) terminals. While
the SNAP-SHOT Report itself is not long (usually two to three pages), the
5.4-2
-------
volume of output could become voluminous, particularly if the Parameters
Option is selected and the subsequent retrieval involves many test
series. Unless the user is selecting a specific test series, it is
recommended that the low-speed terminal option be avoided where possible.
5.4-3
-------
5.5 BIOLOGICAL SEARCH PROGRAM
5.5.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
5.5.2 Abstract
The Biological Search Program (BIO-SEARCH) enables the user to
search all or part of the EADS waste stream data bases to determine the
presence of the results of a particular bioassay test. The user may
identify the bioassay results either by specifying the type of bioassay or
the specific test name as found in the EADS Terminology Reference Manual
Tables A-ll and A-12, respectively. If a search is to be made of part of
a data base, the data base name must be given and the range of TSN's must
be specified. Both demand and batch versions of the program are available
to the user. The demand version provides complete instructions on the use
of the program through an interactive interface with the user. A "Help"
command is also available to users who encounter problems.
Using the user-supplied data on a particular bioassay test type or
test name, the BIO-SEARCH program initially checks the data to verify that
a valid bioassay test type or name has been requested. The program next
scans all of the data bases specified using either the test type or the
test name. The program does not report the results of the biological
tests. The selection criteria require only that a bioassay be found once
in a given test series even though multiple occurrences of the assay may
be present. It is recommended that the user request the SERIES Report for
each test series identified in order to get more information.
5.5-1
-------
5.6 RADIOLOGICAL SEARCH PROGRAM
5.6.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
5.6.2 Abstract
The Radiological Search Program (RAD-SEARCH) enables the user to
search all or part of the EADS waste stream data bases to determine the
presence of a particular radionuclide. The user may identify the
radionuclide by its chemical symbol and isotope (mass) number in the form
XX-NNN. If a search is to be made of part of a data base, the data base
name must be given and the range of TSN's must be specified. Both demand
and batch versions of the program are available to the user. The demand
version provides complete .instructions on the use of the program through
an interactive interface with the user. A "Help" command is also available
to users who encounter problems.
For each data base scanned, the TSN is listed for those test series
in which the radionuclide of interest is reported. The program does not
report the concentration of the radionuclide species. The selection
criteria require only that the radionuclide species be found once in a
given test series even though multiple occurrences of the radionuclide may
be present. It is recommended that the user request the SERIES Report for
each test series identified in order to get more information. If no data
are found in the entire data base, this fact is also listed in the output.
5.6-1
-------
5.7 WASTEWATER CONVENTIONAL POLLUTANTS SEARCH PROGRAM
5.7.1 Applicability: LEDS
5.7.2 Abstract
The Wastewater Conventional Pollutants Search Program (WATER-SEARCH)
enables the user to search all or part of the LEDS data base to determine
the presence in a test series of a specified conventional (classic)
pollutant. The user may select a code from a list of conventional
pollutants provided by the program. Once the code is entered, the user
may request that all of the data base be searched or he may enter a range
of TSN's to be scanned.
Using the code supplied for the conventional pollutant by the user,
the WATER-SEARCH program first validates the code to ensure that no error
has occurred. Next, the program scans the LEDS data base to search for the
conventional pollutant. The program does not report the concentration of
the pollutant. The selection criteria require only that the conventional
pollutant be found once in a given test series even though multiple
occurrences of the pollutant may exist in the same test series. It is
recommended that the user request the LEDS SERIES Report for each test
series identified in order to obtain more information.
The program is available both in batch and demand (time-sharing)
versions. The demand program contains instructions for using the
program. The computer will prompt the user for responses to questions
about the input data.
5.7-1
-------
5.8 CONTROL TECHNOLOGY SEARCH PROGRAM
5.8.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SODS
5.8.2 Abstract
The Control Technology Search Program (CONTROL-SEARCH) enables the
user to search all or part of the EADS waste stream data bases to
determine the presence of a particular control technology. The user may
identify the control technology by specifying either the generic device
type or the design type as given in Table A-4 of the EADS Terminology
Reference Manual. If a search is to be made of part of a data base, the
data base name must be given and the range of TSN's must be specified.
Both demand and batch versions of the program are available to the user.
The demand version provides complete instructions on the use of the
program through an interactive interface with the user. A "Help" command
is also available to users who encounter problems.
The user is cautioned to use care when selecting the Design Type
option for control technology- Since several generic control system types
have the same or similar design types, it would likely be safer to search
on the basis of the generic type only, or thoroughly check the Terminology
Reference Manual to be certain of the correct Design Type value.
Using the user-supplied data on a particular control technology,
the CONTROL-SEARCH program initially checks to verify that a valid Generic
Device Type or Design Type has been requested. The program next scans all
of the data bases specified. If at least one occurrence of the generic
type or design type is found within a test series, that test series is
listed in the output. If no data are found in the entire data base, this
fact is also listed in the output.

APPENDIX A.2
GLOSSARY OF DATA ELEMENTS
The following table is a glossary of the data elements in the EADS
waste stream data bases. While this encompasses all the data elements in
EADS, note that no single data system (fine particles, gaseous, liquids,
or solids) contains all of the data elements. As an example, the NPDES
number occurs only in LEDS.
The table lists the name of the data element (in the order it
appears on the input forms) and a description of the data element. For
further clarification of these definitions, refer to Section 4 of the EADS
User Guides, the detailed encoding instructions.

16. ABSTRACT
The report is a systems overview manual and technical reference guide
for the Environmental Assessment Data Systems (EADS), a group of related compu-
terized data bases which describe multimedia discharges from energy systems and
industrial processes. The EADS have been designed to aid researchers in environ-
mental assessment, source characterization, and control technology development.
The EADS data bases are categorized as either waste stream data bases or refer-
ence data bases, and the report describes in detail the structure and data con-
tent of each category. Separate user guides will be issued for each data base
component of the EADS. This report addresses the purpose and scope of the EADS
and discusses the component1 data bases from an engineering (rather than computer)
viewpoint. The Systems Overview Manual provides the user with a general know-
ledge of the contents and capabilities of the EADS. Specific instructions on
the use of each data base are given in the individual user guides. This report
also contains program library abstracts for available user software.
