-------
Foreword
Since the mid-1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has employed aerial remote
sensing technology as a method of assessing environmental condition and change. Aerial photographs
along with other sensor images are used to assist Agency officials in assessing emergency response
situations; for discovery and identification of new sites; and for analyzing and characterizing
environments at site-specific to regional scales. In order to accomplish these processes, and to provide
technical support to Agency Program and Regional offices, acquisition, processing, and interpretation of
aerial photographs and other remote sensing data are conducted by the Environmental Sciences Division
(BSD) of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) through the Landscape Ecology Branch,
Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center (EPIC), and its remote sensing capabilities in Las
Vegas and in Reston, Virginia.
In FY 99, EPIC initiated a new remote sensing research and development program. Research plans
were prepared and underwent peer review. During FY 2000, reconciliation of the peer reviewer's
comments was completed and research commenced in FY 2000.
In FY 2000, EPIC awarded a new 5-year (one base period, and four 1-year option periods) remote
sensing support contract with an expanded scope of work for supporting the remote sensing requirements
of the Agency. The new contract provides the traditional remote sensing technical support activities in
aerial photographic data collection, processing, and analysis, but it also provides digital (airborne and
spaceborne) remote sensing data collection and analysis support to EPA remote sensing researchers,
Regional and Program offices, and laboratories.
This program summary is prepared annually to provide Agency managers with an overview of
resource expenditures and program activities involved with both remote sensing technical support and
research and development activities.
Superfund Program Support
The Environmental Sciences Division (BSD) in Las Vegas, Nevada, of the Office of Research and
Development, provides remote sensing support-aerial photograph acquisition and interpretation~for
hazardous waste site investigations, assessments, and removal and remedial actions under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as
amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and under the National
Contingency Plan. Support is provided by the BSD to each of the 10 EPA Regional offices and to the
Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response (OSWER).
in
-------
RCRA Program Support
Since the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in 1976, the EPA has employed
aerial remote sensing techniques to assess waste sites. Aerial photographs and other sensor images are
used to assist Agency officials in permit reviews, site operations monitoring, and general environmental
assessments. Acquisition and interpretation of aerial photographs for this and other Agency programs are
conducted by the BSD in Las Vegas, Nevada, to provide technical support to Regional offices, and to the
OSWER.
ORD Program Support
In FY 2000, EPIC provided remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) support in
the form of data base development, research, data acquisition, processing, analysis, and accuracy
assessment activities for Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP), Advanced
Measurement Initiative (AMI), and other research and development (R&D) programs and activities.
EPIC continued developing GIS data and/or techniques for Eco-Pest/Tox; the Lower Colorado study,
Little Miami River Basin, OH; the Neuse River Watershed, NC; Spring Valley munitions removal,
Washington, DC; the Upper Accotink Watershed, VA; the Delaware/Catskill Watershed, NY; and
general land use and land cover mapping in the Mid-Atlantic. EPIC also provided routine data
management, film library, and archive support to the Agency to meet routine information needs and
requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
EPIC also continued R&D projects in several new areas of multimedia technology to develop new
and better means of providing remote sensing products and services to Agency users. These include the
development of an interactive remote sensing training CD-ROM, the development of a display poster of
EPIC products and services, both completed in FY 99, and research for the digital conversion of EPIC
reports and archives. Also in FY 99, EPIC began developing a remote sensing website which became
operational in FY 2000. The website contains a wealth of information on the fundamentals of remote
sensing and the technical support products, services, and R&D activities of EPIC. The web address for
the site is: .
GIS Support
During the past year, EPIC continued GIS data base development support for the Mid-Atlantic
Integrated Assessment (MAIA) region; Eco-Pest/Tox; the Neuse River Basin; the Tensas River Basin;
the Lower Colorado Basin; Spring Valley munitions removal, Washington, DC; the Upper Accotink
Watershed, VA; the Delaware/Catskill Watershed, NY; and the Little Miami River Basin, OH, to support
EMAP, Global Change Research Program (GCRP), North American Landscape Characterization
(NALC), and other R&D efforts in these regions.
Film Metadata Support
In FY 2000, EPIC continued exploring and developing the best way to manage its growing holdings
of aerial and satellite film. EPIC's archive represents more than 25 years of data acquisitions and all
metadata records are currently stored in hard copy format only. The goal of this effort is to create a
searchable, softcopy metadata data base. After several internal investigations, the best digital method
was determined to be a specialized World Wide Web page developed in cooperation with the USGS
EROS Data Center (EDC). An Interagency Agreement between EPA/EPIC and USGS/EDC was initiated
in FY 99. EDC will provide the EPA with metadata search and retrieval services based on the graphical
IV
-------
interface developed by EDC in their Earth Explorer (EE) system, formerly called the Global Land
Information System (GLIS). This search and retrieval system will enable EPA users to quickly search
for and determine the extent of aerial photographic and satellite image coverage retained in EPIC's
archive for any location in the United States. Currently, EPIC's remote sensing support contractor is
converting hand-drawn hard copy film plots to digital form and is generating the metadata format. This
data is then transferred to EDC for ingestion into the EE system.
EPIC Library/Archive
Previously, the archive was operated under EPIC's single remote sensing support contract. In order
to make the archive and library data management task more efficient and to dedicate more resources to
projects under development for the benefit and advancement of the archive, a new, separate
library/archive contract was recompeted in FY 2000. Under the new contract, the library/archive will
have a full time staff of 4 to 6 people and will have a greatly expanded mission. This will include bar
coding the holdings and creation of inventory data bases, the analog-to-digital conversion of hundreds of
thousands of records as well as the development of metadata products that will be input into and
accessible from intranet-based computerized Federal records systems such as the USGS EE system.
EPIC Report - HTML Prototype
In an effort to develop multimedia technical transfer technologies, EPIC initiated research for
producing standard EPIC reports in interactive, digital format, delivered on CD-ROM media. A
prototype was developed in FY 99 using the EPIC Report TS-PIC-9802237S, Aerial Photographic
Analysis, Pavilion Avenue Field Study Area, Riverside, New Jersey. The report was reproduced in a
HTML format utilizing web browser technology as the interface tool. Although definite technical
problems remain, initial results were promising. Research continued on this in FY 99, and in FY 2000 an
Arc View prototype was developed under the remote sensing contract. This prototype was completed for
the EPIC Report TS-PIC-20004486S, Aerial Photographic Analysis Report for the Georgia-Pacific
Corporation Hardwood Sawmill Site, Plymouth, North Carolina. The ultimate goal is to develop a user-
friendly, digital version of the EPIC reports which can be produced cost-effectively.
Multimedia Training CD-ROM
EPIC completed a project in FY 99 to develop a first-of-its-kind remote sensing training CD-ROM
for environmental users. This CD-ROM, which was made available in FY 2000, presents the
fundamentals of analog and digital remote sensing using text, graphics, animation, and sound to provide
basic remote sensing training for EPIC customers. This project was initiated through an Interagency
Agreement with the General Services Administration under the FAST program.
Advanced Measurement Initiative Support (AMI)
EPIC continued to support two ongoing projects under the AMI program. EPIC provided remote
sensing, photogrammetric, field data collection support to the AMI - Ray Mine, Arizona, project. EPIC
continues to process a detailed digital elevation model and field spectral data collection for this project.
-------
Under the AMI - Contaminated Mine Drainage (CMD) project (EPIC lead), three remote sensing and
field data surveys were also accomplished in 1999. Digital Multi-Spectral Video (DMSV), field spectra,
water quality, and bacterial data were collected at 12 CMD sites in central Pennsylvania. Additionally,
two sets of Airborne Visible and Infra-Red Imaging Spectroscopy (AVIRIS) hyperspectral data were
collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in support of this project.
Research on this project continued in FY 2000.

Abstract
The Environmental Sciences Division of the Office of Research and Development in Las Vegas,
Nevada, provides remote sensing and aerial imagery acquisition and interpretation support to the
Program Offices and each of the 10 Regional Offices of the Environmental Protection Agency. Support
is provided for site-specific to regional environmental characterization and change analyses; emergency
response to hazardous materials release situations; current site condition assessments; historical reviews
of site developments; waste site inventories for large geographical areas; and topographic mapping of
sites. Support is provided through the Division facilities of the Landscape Ecology Branch in Las Vegas,
Nevada, and Reston, Virginia.
In FY 99, EPIC initiated a new remote sensing research and development program. Research plans
were prepared and underwent peer review. At the close of FY 99, reconciliation of the peer reviewer's
comments was underway, and research commenced for some projects in FY 2000. A description of these
projects can be viewed on EPIC's new website at .
This document describes program operations management procedures and types of projects
conducted for requesting offices.
Superfund Program Support
In FY 2000, work was conducted on 126 Superfund aerial survey projects covering more than 120
specific waste sites. Of these, two projects covering two sites were completed as emergency responses.
Additionally, litigation support was provided to the Regions for three sites, and three overflights were
completed to acquire new aerial photographs. Work on 22 of these projects was carried over into FY
2001.
Finally, two miscellaneous projects providing general support to Superfund activities, including data
management and report/film archive maintenance and support, and Quality Assurance (QA) and Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) development were budgeted from CERCLA funds. It is anticipated that in
FY 2001, operations will be conducted in much the same way as previous years.
RCRA Program Support
In FY 2000, work was initiated on eight Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) projects
covering 12 RCRA sites. Almost all projects were in support of enforcement and compliance activities.
All work on these projects was completed in FY 2000.

-------
ORD Program Support
In FY 2000, EPIC provided remote sensing and GIS support in the form of data base development,
research, data acquisition, processing, analysis, and accuracy assessment activities for EMAP, NALC,
AMI, and other R&D programs and activities. EPIC developed GIS data and/or techniques for Eco-
Pest/Tox, the Lower Colorado study, the Tensas River Basin, and land use and land cover mapping in the
Mid-Atlantic. EPIC also provided routine data management, film library, and archive support to the
Agency to meet routine information needs and requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
EPIC also initiated R&D projects in several new areas of multimedia technology to develop new and
better means of providing remote sensing products and services to Agency users. These include the
development of an interactive remote sensing training CD-ROM, research for the digital conversion of
EPIC reports and archives, and the development of a new EPIC remote sensing website.
The website was completed in FY 2000 and contains a wealth of information on the fundamentals of
remote sensing and the technical support products, services, and R&D activities of EPIC.
GIS Support
During the past year, EPIC continued GIS data base development support for Eco-Pest/Tox research;
the Neuse River Basin; Valley Fills; the EMAP Western Landscape Ecological Assessment; the
Delaware/Catskill Watershed, NY; and the MAIA Landscape GIS Coverage Database to support EMAP,
GCRP, NALC, and other R&D efforts in these regions.
Film Metadata Support
In FY 2000, EPIC continued exploring and developing the best way to manage its growing holdings
of aerial and satellite film. EPIC's archive represents more than 25 years of data acquisitions and all

converting hand-drawn hard copy film plots to digital form and is generating the metadata format. This
data is then transferred to EDC for ingestion into the EE system.
EPIC Report - HTML Prototype
In an effort to develop multimedia technical transfer technologies, EPIC initiated research in FY 98
for producing standard EPIC reports in interactive, digital format, delivered on CD-ROM media. A
prototype was developed using the EPIC Report TS-PIC-9802237S, Aerial Photographic Analysis,
Pavilion Avenue Field Study Area, Riverside, New Jersey. The report was reproduced in a HTML format
utilizing web browser technology as the interface tool. Although definite technical problems remain,
initial results were promising. Research continued in FY 99 and additional prototype reports were
developed in FY 2000 in cooperation with the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR).
Vlll
-------
The ultimate goal is to develop a user-friendly, digital version of the EPIC reports which may be
produced cost-effectively.
Multimedia Training CD-ROM
EPIC initiated a project in 1998 to develop a first-of-its-kind remote sensing training CD-ROM for
environmental users. This CD-ROM was completed in FY 99 and presents the fundamentals of analog
and digital remote sensing using text, graphics, animation, and sound to provide basic remote sensing
training for EPIC customers. This project was initiated through an Interagency Agreement with the
General Services Administration under the FAST program.
Advanced Measurement Initiative Support
In addition to participating in seven research proposals submitted under the Advanced Measurement
Initiative (AMI) program, two projects were supported through the AMI program. EPIC provided remote
sensing, photogrammetric, field data collection support to the AMI - Ray Mine project, Arizona. EPIC
continues to process a detailed digital elevation model and field spectral data collection for this project.
Under the AMI - Contaminated Mine Drainage (CMD) project (EPIC lead), three remote sensing and
field data surveys were also accomplished in 1999. Digital Multi-Spectral Video (DMSV), field spectra,
water quality, and bacterial data were collected at 12 CMD sites in central Pennsylvania. Additionally,
two sets of AVIRIS hyperspectral data were collected by NASA in support of this project. Research on
this project continues in FY 2000.

Introduction
The Environmental Sciences Division (BSD) in Las Vegas, Nevada, of the Office of Research and
Development (ORD), provides remote sensing technical support including aerial photograph
acquisition and interpretation for site-specific to regional environmental characterization and change
analyses. Support is provided by the BSD to EPA Program offices, ORD laboratories, and all 10 EPA
Regional offices. This support is provided through the Landscape Ecology Branch and its remote sensing
capabilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in Reston, Virginia.
In FY 99, EPIC initiated a new remote sensing research and development program. Research
plans were prepared and underwent peer review. At the close of FY 99 and into FY 2000, reconciliation
of the peer reviewers' comments was underway. Research on some of these projects commenced in FY
2000.
-------
Remote Sensing Technical Support
Analysis of airborne and spaceborne imagery is the most commonly used remote sensing technique
for supporting the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC), CERCLA, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and other EPA programs and investigations. The principal
aerial photographic system used is the 9 inches by 9 inches mapping camera. While color film is most
frequently used for photo analysis, black and white film is often used for mapping, and color infrared
films are often used to enhance such features as surface water turbidity, soil moisture, and vegetation
stress. Various types of aircraft are used at flight altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 feet above the
ground. Archival aerial photographs provide a valuable source of information for the historical analysis
of hazardous waste sites. Routine search and acquisition from these photographs from sources
nationwide is a significant step in our analysis of sites. Finally, the image analysts who perform the
interpretation of the aerial photographs are fully qualified to furnish advice and expert witness testimony
on findings from the analyses in instances of litigation.
The most frequently applied spaceborne imagery is the Landsat Thematic Mapper for conducting
broad area characterizations of environmental and natural resources and land use and land cover
assessments and mapping.
ESD conducts four basic types of remote sensing technical support projects under the CERCLA,
RCRA, and other programs. The highest priority projects are emergency responses to hazardous material
release situations requiring rapid assessment of conditions at a site. When current information on a site
is required, it is generally the practice to acquire new photographs for the specific purpose. Single-date
analysis may be conducted on this new imagery or on historical imagery taken during a particularly
significant period in the history of a site. Intensive site analysis projects are performed on selected sites
to document changing conditions over a period of time and include analysis of both current and historical
photographs. Finally, waste site inventories are surveys over large areas that are used to establish a
baseline reference of possible sites.
A number of special-purpose products are produced from photographic data which are based on
advanced technologies. Such products include topographic and flood-plain maps using photogrammetry,
and digital elevation and GIS data. Surveys, aerial photography, and automated optical equipment are
required to produce modern topographic maps. Such maps, at various scales, provide highly accurate
representations of sites that include horizontal distances, building dimensions, volumes and dimensions
of lagoons and landfills, and contours to provide elevational data throughout the mapped area. The maps
are used to record site features, well sites, or any feature that needs to be accurately located. Other uses
include planning, quantity estimates, and a variety of special purposes.
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps are used to provide information about a site between approximately
1860 and the advent of regularly acquired aerial photographs in approximately 1930 and, later, to provide
information not available from the photographs about ownership, occupancy, land and building layouts,
and materials on-site.

++NOTE: Average costs were calculated for projects completed in FY 99.
'NOTE: Cost depends on contour intervals, size of site, population density, and on whether ground survey teams are
required to wear protective gear while surveying the site. The larger sites will average out to lower cost per acre
than the small sites. The costs have ranged from $10 to $1,300 per acre depending on the mapping requirement
of each site. It is more cost effective to conduct the ground survey around the hazardous waste site and not
require the survey team to suit up into protective gear.
"NOTE: These figures are for planning purposes only. We have insufficient data at present to provide accurate cost. Call
for cost estimate on specific sites.
Emergency Response
Emergency requests are given top priority, and emphasis is directed toward rapid response. An
aircraft that has aerial photographic capabilities is dispatched to the site as soon as possible, and
emergency response procedures are put into effect in the photo processing laboratory. All personnel are
prepared and are on call to work around the clock to process the photographs, analyze the film,
document the analysis results, and ship the results to the requester as soon as possible.
-------
Emergency requests, in response to a hazardous material release situation, require
information on conditions at the site. Extent and location of a visible spill, vegetation damage,
and threats to natural drainage and human welfare are typical of the types of information gathered from
emergency response activities at a spill site. Typical products for an emergency response project include
an immediate telephone report followed by photographic prints or positive film transparencies with
interpretations annotated on overlays to the photographs, annotated topographic maps, and a short letter
report describing results of the analysis. Scales for emergency photo coverage vary with condition and
area coverage requirements. A response time from 1 to 5 days, depending on weather conditions and
type of coverage required, is typical. On-scene support by photo analysts is provided as required. The
following contacts are available for activating an emergency response:
Donald Garofalo (703) 648-4285 (Work Telephone) 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (ET)
(301) 869-8409 (Home Telephone) 24-hours
Phillips A. Arberg (702) 798-2545 (Work Telephone) 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (PT)
(702) 261-9911 (Home Telephone) 24-hours
Single-Date Analysis
Projects in this category are conducted on a routine basis to acquire current information on a site or
sites. These projects usually require acquisition of new aerial photography of a site, although recent
(existing) photographic coverage of a site may suffice. Analysis of the photographs generally focuses on
surface drainage conditions, evidence of leachate, vegetation damage, adequacy of containment features,
and threats to sensitive environments. Final products normally include a report documenting the results
of the analysis, with emphasis on the specific requirements of the requester. The report also includes
photographs and maps with interpretation annotated on clear overlays to pinpoint the site locations and
conditions. These routine projects can normally be conducted from 6 to 36 weeks after data collection;
the length of time is dependent on the number, size, and complexity of the sites and on the detail of
information required.
Intensive Site Analyses
These projects are performed when the Regional or Program office requests an analysis of changing
conditions at a site through time. They rely heavily on the availability of historical aerial photographs.
However, the historical photographs may be augmented with current photo coverage when needed by the
requester. Historical photographs that date back to the 1930s are available for many areas.
Photographs of a site prior to the existence of any hazardous waste processing and disposal activities
or other man-made impacts are obtained when available. Later, photographs are used to monitor changes
at the site over time. Special attention is paid to photographs taken on or near dates identified as critical
by the requester.
Most historical photographs are panchromatic (black and white). Few color or color infrared
photographs are available for the years prior to 1970. A major reference source for historical
photographs is the Earth Science Information Center (formerly the National Cartographic Information
Center) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The Center maintains an index of the imagery holdings
of the Earth Resources Observations System (EROS) Data Center of the Department of the Interior and
the Aerial Photography Field Office of the Department of Agriculture. The earliest photographs are
-------
available from the National Archives and Records Administration. When photographs taken during a
particularly significant period are not found in Federal archives, State and local governments and private
sources are investigated.
In-depth analysis of historical photographs affords the opportunity to characterize
conditions and to identify specific activities at different points in time. By characterizing
conditions at a site for several dates, the sequence of events leading to the current conditions can
be understood. Intensive studies have been performed to characterize environmental or ecological
changes in surface drainage conditions; to identify the location of landfills, waste treatment
ponds/lagoons, and their subsequent burial and abandonment; to detect and identify the burial of waste
drums; to count the number of drums and to estimate the depth and horizontal extent of the burial pits;
and to recommend drilling sites for sampling and for identification of the sources of the spillage and of
the discharge of wastes.
Often photographs are not available for the location or time of interest. In these cases, Sanborn Fire
Insurance Maps have proven to be a useful source of data for historical analysis. For more than a
century, the Sanborn Map Company of Pelham, New York, has published maps and atlases of more than
12,000 U.S. cities and towns. These large-scale, highly detailed maps of commercial, industrial, and
residential buildings are designed to provide accurate, current, and detailed information to fire insurance
companies about the buildings they insure. The Sanborn Maps furnish information about ownership,
occupancy, building layouts, and materials on-site that are used in chemical and other manufacturing
processes.
The current collection of Sanborn maps comprises more than 700,000 single sheets in 50,000
volumes. The Library of Congress maintains this collection, and a published volume may be purchased
from the cataloguing collection. Maps published prior to September 19,1906, are available as
photocopies or microfilm directly from the Library of Congress, Photo Duplication Division.
Authorization to use Sanborn maps published after that date must be obtained from Sanborn on a case-
by-case basis, and requests for that authorization must be presented to the Library of Congress before
duplicates will be made.
Generally, an intensive site investigation requires 4-12 months to complete. However, the time
required to complete any single project will depend largely on the number of available data sets that must
be processed and analyzed. The photo analysis can be greatly enhanced when pertinent background
information is made available by the requester. Helpful information includes known conditions or
suspicions at specific points in time, drainage and ground water studies pertinent to the sites or general
areas, detailed maps and sketches, and names of facilities and of operators associated with the site.
Products of intensive site investigations include a detailed report documenting the results of the
photographic interpretation. The reports usually include photographs and maps with major observations
annotated on clear overlays. Annotated photographic enlargements for field use or as courtroom exhibits
are provided as required.
-------
Waste Site Inventories
ESD conducts general inventories over relatively large areas to detect and locate hazardous waste
sites. The inventories are conducted by using archival, recent, or newly acquired aerial photographs and
may be single-date or multi-date in nature. Site locations are annotated on map sheets or on overlays to
maps and photographs. No detailed site analyses are provided. However, the interpreter will frequently
flag those sites that appear to be particularly hazardous or threatening. The use of archival photographs
offers the most economical and accurate method of compiling these inventories.
Should the requester desire current photographs, ESD can acquire them at specifications
commensurate with the requester's information needs. The time required to complete an inventory will
vary with the total square miles involved, the number of sites, the chronological range, and the analysis
requirements.
Superfund Site Atlas
Uncontrolled hazardous waste sites listed by the EPA as being eligible for remedial response actions
under Superfund are documented in photographic volumes for each of the 10 EPA Regions. The atlas,
intended as a reference document and planning guide for hazardous waste site cleanup under CERCLA,
contains site location maps and color aerial photographs with photo overlays showing the boundaries of
the site and the surrounding areas. Boundaries shown indicate the general location of the sites and are
not intended to denote legal property lines or ownership. Also included are individual site descriptions.
The atlas covers those sites designated as eligible on the National Priorities List as of September 1984.
The ESD maintains an index to available aerial photographic data for these priority sites.
Removal and Remedial Action Documentation
Aerial photographs are collected before, during, and following removal and remedial actions at
selected sites. Such documentation provides a useful record of the effectiveness of the cleanup efforts.
Topographic Mapping
ESD produces topographic and feature maps, generally at a small contour interval (usually specified
at 2 -10 feet; however, any interval can be used), using precision photogrammetry of a site on which
control points have been established. This technique requires specialized equipment, complex
computations, aerial photography, and field surveys. These maps are produced in conformance with
National Map Accuracy Standards and EPA Photogrammetric Mapping Specifications.
A typical product from a topographic mapping project might include an orthogonally
correct black-and-white, enlarged photograph of a site and reproducible stable base map sheet(s)
containing highly accurate, detailed topographic and planimetric features. At a very large scale (for
example, 1 inch equals 50 feet), the map may show buildings, roads, railroads, drainage features, bridges,
culverts, fences, driveways, poles, sidewalks, individual trees, fire hydrants, manholes, catch basins, and
other features of similar size. Map scales, contour intervals, and planimetric details can be varied to suit
specific requirements.
There are several useful applications to topographic mapping in support of hazardous waste site
assessments and removal or other remedial actions. Highly accurate topographic and planimetric details
may be recorded without physically being at the site. This capability can be significant in overcoming
-------
problems related to gaining access to private lands and related to protecting field personnel from
hazardous conditions on-site. Maps may be useful in measuring the area, volume, and locations of the
hazardous material to be handled such as contaminated soil; defining drainage patterns; determining the
height and placement of containment berms, dikes, and impoundments; and determining the depth of
waste pits. Topographic mapping techniques are also useful in support of geophysical monitoring or well
monitoring in terms of establishing precise location and orientation data. In addition, changes in size,
shape, and other physical characteristics of a waste site can be documented through sequential
topographic mapping.
-------
Remote Sensing Research and Development
In FY 99, EPIC initiated a new remote sensing research and development program. Research and
development involves the scientific evaluation of existing and developing air and spaceborne remote
sensing systems and data in order to determine their utility for providing information at multiple scales
about the earth, its ecological resources, and impacts on these resources through natural and
human-induced processes. EPIC remote sensing scientists developed six research plans in FY 99. The
plans were distributed for scientific peer review and most of the reviewers' comments were returned and
reconciled in FY 2000. Research then commenced on reconciled projects in FY 2000. One of the
projects (entitled the Evaluation of Various Remote Sensor Platforms for the Identification of
Mountaintop Removal Mining Practices and Potential Environmental Impact) was determined unviable
following preliminary research and numerous failed attempts to obtain critical data and information
needed to support the research. Research on this project, therefore, has been suspended. The five
remaining research projects are entitled:
1) Evaluation of the IKONOS 1 Satellite Remote Sensor for detecting, inventorying, and
characterizing Animal Feeding Operations (AFO's)
2) Imaging Spectroscopy for detecting fugitive environmental contaminants
3) The Detection and Mapping of Impervious Surfaces: a Multi-date, Multi-scale, Multi-sensor
Approach in a Mid-Atlantic Sub-Watershed
4) The Use of Thermal AVHRR Imagery to Construct an Estimator of Seasonal Heat Budgets for
Large Lakes in North America
5) Imaging Spectroscopy for Determining Rangeland Stressors to Western Watersheds
Results of this research will be reported at scientific symposia, in appropriate reports, in scientific
journals and other publications, and on EPIC's new remote sensing website at
.

Program Management
General
The Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center (EPIC), of the ESD's Landscape Ecology
Branch (LEB), has staff in Las Vegas and at its headquarters' facility in Reston, Virginia, and is
responsible for research and development and operational activities of the Branch's remote sensing
program. The EPIC responds to routine Regional and Program office needs for remote sensing support
upon receipt of a written request from the Regional Program office. This written request is sent to the
attention of the director of the Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center, BSD. A concurrent
telephone call and correspondence copy of the request may also be directed to the appropriate Regional
Remote Sensing Coordinator. The EPIC director reviews the request and assigns it to an EPIC Work
Assignment Manager (WAM) for action. The WAM works with the requester to identify the study
objectives, the approach to be taken, the additional information required, the reports and data to be
delivered, and the estimated completion dates. Appendix B lists EPIC's WAMs as well as other LEB
contacts who are available to assist those in the Regional or other EPA Offices who request LEB support.
When the requester's requirements are clear, a Work Assignment (WA) is prepared in which the scope of
work, deliverables, estimated costs, and schedules are identified. Projects are generally performed
through the Division's support contractors. In addition, within each Regional Office is an identified
individual who acts as a Remote Sensing Coordinator. This person acts as a liaison between EPIC and
the Region to accept Regional requests for EPIC support work, assist requesters in identifying their
remote sensing requirements, and coordinate the flow of paperwork and project status information
between the Region and EPIC. Appendix C lists the Regional Remote Sensing Coordinators who act as
liaisons between Regional and Program offices requesting EPIC support and the EPIC WAMs. Remote
Sensing Coordinators assist requesters by providing them with information on the type of support
available through EPIC and the proper procedures to be used for initiating a remote sensing technical
support work request.
For emergency responses, the initiating request may be made by telephone from the Regional
Program office. The request is immediately coordinated with the requesting office, and, with their
approval, a project is initiated.
Expenditures of funds supporting this program are tracked on a project-by-project basis for cost
accounting and program management analyses. After receipt of a valid request, a work assignment is
developed and sent, after approvals, to the EPA remote sensing technical support contractor who
prepares a technical work plan and a completion schedule. Upon completion of a project, the requester is
provided the required number of report copies; one file copy is maintained by the LEB remote sensing
report library and archive.
As a part of an annual planning process to identify Regional remote sensing support needs for the
upcoming year, LEB/EPIC WAMs work with Remote Sensing Coordinators and administrative and
budget counterparts in the 10 regions. During this time, progress and problems are discussed, associated
-------
with the funding of project assignments at LEB/EPIC, and strategies are developed for ensuring that
Regional LEB support requirements and funding needs are met.
Contractor Support
In support of EPIC, a professional contractor staff acquires photographs, develops film, provides
aerial photographic interpretation, and prepares final written reports with photographic and other
graphics displays. EPA scientists provide technical oversight of each project, prepare
statements of work, and monitor progress toward completion. In FY 2000, a new remote sensing
technical support contract was awarded. This is an off-site, nondedicated contract which was
awarded for a 1-year base period, and four 1-year option periods.
Reorganization
In FY 97, the Characterization Research Division (CRD-LV) reorganized and became the
Environmental Sciences Division (BSD) and the former Monitoring Sciences Branch (MSB) under which
EPIC is housed, became the new Landscape Ecology Branch (LEB). The LEB is responsible for
conducting remote sensing research and development and technical support to EPA Headquarters,
Regional, and Program offices. The mission of the LEB is to conduct research on, and perform
assessments of, ecological health and trends at multiple scales. The Branch comprises teams of scientists
that develop and apply ecological indicators and methods for collecting and integrating information on
the health of our natural resources. Our focus is on the conduct of high quality peer reviewed science
and the support and satisfaction of our customers within the EPA.
Quality Assurance
New and more comprehensive Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures and SOPs
were in place in FY 96 and revised and updated in FY 2000. The BSD has developed a Quality
Management Plan. The EPIC support contractors are also required to prepare and submit to the EPA a
Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) which is a general description of the contractors' capabilities
and approach to Quality Assurance. In addition, the contractors are required to prepare and submit QA
Project Plans (QAPPs) outlining specific QA/QC procedures to be followed during completion of the
principal contract activities. In the case of EPIC, for example, QA/QC procedures were developed and/or
updated for the following processes: data acquisition; data processing; data analysis; and report
production. A QA Review Form (a checklist) has been developed by BSD which is attached to and filled
out for each WA by the WAM. The form is approved by the Project Officer and the designated QA
Officer. All of these procedures ensure that EPIC's clients receive the highest possible quality in the
products and services requested.
In FY 99, a peer review of the EPIC operation was completed. The peer review panel met at ESD-
LV and received presentations on all elements of the EPIC program. A peer review report was prepared
which outlined the recommendations of the peer review panel. The peer review report concluded that:
"... EPIC is doing an outstanding job in its traditional area of historic photo analysis, mostly of
Superfund and RCRA sites. However, the EPIC program is in a transition period for at least two areas,
1) R&D of new remote sensing technologies (some of which are used throughout EPA, not just
hazardous waste programs), and 2) archiving historic imagery and collateral data as it transitions from
analog to digital imagery. We expect that these activities will require additional new funding in addition
10
-------
to the existing funding, which includes headquarters and regional contributions. In effect, EPIC should
market its capabilities agency-wide and particularly to individuals with discretionary funds."
A response to these and other peer reviewer recommendations which cited specific corrective actions
was prepared by EPIC and submitted to National Exposure Research Laboratory management.
Personnel, Equipment, and Material Requirements
The resources to support the aerial photographic interpretation and analysis program are derived
from two sources. Base funding is provided through the Office of Research and Development (ORD).
These resources provide for in-house personnel and materials as well as limited extramural support.
Funding to support specific projects comes directly from the requesting Program or Regional office.
Resources primarily support contractor operations and equipment acquisition. All capital equipment
purchases are justified in accordance with established EPA procurement procedures.
11
-------
FY 2000 Program Summary
During FY 2000, EPIC continued to fund task requests from the Regional and Program offices.
While some of the Regional Superfund requests were not listed in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) data base, they were fully
justified as Superfund activities, and in many cases had higher priorities in the Regions than those tasks
identified in CERCLIS.
Resources for FY 2000 are shown in Table 2. A total of $2838.OK in extramural funds was
available for direct support of remote sensing for hazardous waste site assessment and emergency
response under the Superfund and RCRA programs. This included supplemental funding of $300.0K
provided by OERR in FY 2000 to allow the Division to maintain its capability for providing remote
sensing support to the Regions. Also, EPIC received $45.0K in ORD FY 2000 funding. Of the
Superfund, RCRA and OERR funding, $1290.0K was carried over from FY 2000 to FY 2001; $945 .OK
of ORD funding was carried over to FY 2001. Smaller amounts of funding were received to support the
specific project requirements of other programs and/or offices.

Refer to Appendix A for a summary of FY 2000 projects.
12
-------
In all, 55 photo interpretation projects (including one fracture trace analysis) were completed in FY
2000. An additional 14 were carried over into FY 2001. Also, four GIS projects were completed. Two
projects covering two sites were analyzed as emergency responses. In addition, four overflights to obtain
current aerial photographs of either sites or larger regional areas were performed. Litigation support was
provided for three sites. The remaining aerial survey projects were photo reproductions or historical
photo acquisitions only (i.e., requiring no photo interpretation); Regional Office requests; occasional
requests for documents by the regions; and cost recoveries.
Records Management
Records management refers to the way in which EPIC organizes and catalogs its technical reports
and associated products that result from its day-to-day activities in support of Regional and Program
offices. Since 1975, more than 4,000 reports have been produced covering hazardous waste sites and
approximately 11,100 industrial sites (under Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures). Some
110,000 frames of film are currently on file at BSD, and 80,000 additional frames have been archived in
a national data bank at the EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
EPIC has completed the creation of a computer-based technical report information retrieval system.
A data base has been developed which encompasses both technical and descriptive information about
historical and single-date site analyses and inventory reports produced by LEB/EPIC since the inception
of the program. The core data base of the system was completed in FY 90, and initial copies of the
published report were distributed to key program contacts in the 10 EPA regions. In FY 96, the data base
was converted from a VAX mainframe to a PC-based system and in FY 97 a final PC-based searchable
data base was completed. In FY 98, a Users Guide was developed to assist Regional users in accessing
and searching the data base and upgrades were made to the computer-based search routine in FY 99 and
FY 2000 to make it more user friendly for use by EPIC's customers. The data base and search engine
was distributed to all 10 EPA Regional Offices and to OERR at EPA Headquarters in early FY 2000.
The data base and search engine is also planned to be placed on the new remote sensing website. This
PC-based program allows Regional users to rapidly search the data base to locate any report entered and
retrieve detailed information such as:
• Report name, number, and date
• Funding source
• Project Officer and Image Analyst
• Site location (USGS quad name and latitude/longitude, city, county, state)
• Imagery dates and types used
• Type of analysis performed
• Summary findings
The data base is updated continuously after current projects are completed. Data base updates are
provided on a periodic basis to all 10 EPA Regions, and Headquarters' Program offices.
13
-------
Equipment and Specialized Software Purchases
In FY 2000, EPIC has continued to purchase and upgrade computer software. Installation and/or
upgrades to Microsoft Office Professional 2000 were provided for the EPIC staff through a IT Support
agreement with USGS. An installation of Arc View 3.2 and Spatial Analyst and two installations of SAS
7.0 were completed through the Las Vegas Branch office. One new installation and four upgrades for
ArcView 3.2, two new installations for Image Analyst, and three new installations for Spatial Analyst
were also purchased. A new installation for Arclnfo 8, Matlab 5.3, and Imagine 8.4 were purchased
along with two upgrades to Imagine 8.4. Additional software needs were identified and purchase
requests submitted in FY 2000. Finally, continued enhancement of computer capabilities is anticipated
for FY 2001.
Other - Training
Six EPIC scientists attended a 3-day hazardous waste operations (HAZWOPER) course on March 3-
5, 1999. This training is required for all field scientists working at hazardous waste facilities and allows
EPIC scientists to collect field spectral data at Superfund and other hazardous waste sites in support of
technical support and research. All EPIC personnel also participated in an 8-hour Medic First Aid class
on April 4, 2000. The class consisted of basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and first aid basics,
including, but not limited to, choking, bleeding, and burns.

Future Directions
EPIC is continuing its efforts to improve capabilities for imagery exploitation, dissemination of its
derivative products, and their utilization throughout the EPA environmental community. The new off-
site remote sensing technical support contract awarded in FY 2000 will continue to provide
comprehensive remote sensing support to EPA Regional and Program offices and laboratories through
FY 2005. Also, the new EPIC archive/library contract (awarded in early FY 2001) will help EPIC to
more efficiently organize, retrieve, and track EPIC's film and report products and make them more
readily accessible to EPIC's EPA customers.
In FY 96, EPIC moved its EPA staff and technical oversight operations from its current Vint Hill
Farms Station location near Warrenton, VA, to the USGS headquarters in Reston, VA. It ended 23 years
of continuous support from the Building 166 facility which was on the post-closure list and closed at the
end of FY 97. EPIC's relocation to the USGS facility provides for more rapid access to USGS maps and
natural resources data bases of value to the EPA mission, as well as access to state-of-the-art remote
sensing, GIS, and mapping equipment and expertise available at this premier remote sensing agency. In
addition, EPIC's security cleared staff at the USGS facility has easy access to the USGS Advanced
Systems Center (on the grounds of the USGS) for using classified remote sensing data assets and
equipment to support the EPA mission.
In FY 2000, EPIC partnered with other agencies which are leaders in the remote sensing field. For
example, EPIC conducted research and development in cooperation with NASA to evaluate applications
of new hyperspectral remote sensors to environmental problems associated with mining activities. EPIC
is also partnering with the USGS on an Advanced Measurement Initiative R&D project to evaluate the
location and quality of mine drainage using remote sensing spectral reflectance methods.
EPIC is partnering with the USGS to do mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the
Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. This project involves the use of an advanced airborne hyperspectral
remote sensing system to image SAV beds and coastal wetlands. The USGS has an ongoing ground-
based SAV mapping project and will provide detailed water quality and vegetation information for areas
imaged by the airborne sensor. EPIC is also partnering with the USGS Geologic Division to develop
spectral libraries of environmental contaminates, focusing on organic pollutants such as PCBs. These
spectral libraries are used in remote sensing image analysis to identify and classify materials in the
image. The USGS is providing analytical chemistry support for the chemical analysis of field samples.
Several laboratory and field spectrometers are available from the USGS for EPIC personnel to analyze
and create spectral library data bases of these compounds.
