INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Fate and Effects Division within the Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) has developed the Ecological Incident Information
System (EIIS). The Ens is a compilation of the data fields currently used for
completing risk assessments in OPP. These fields have been identified as playing
an essential role in understanding how the incident occurs. The incident data are
entered into the database and will be electronically available worldwide through
the Pesticide Information Network (PIN). Enclosed is an empty copy of the EIIS
for your convenience in addition to a user manual. The EOS is written in
dBASEffl plus and should execute on almost any PC with this software installed.
This may assist you in compiling data which are important in completing risk
assessments. Approximately 10 % of the state agencies have submitted their data,
and there are a total of 550 incidents which have been entered as a result. Some
state agencies have sent investigations to OPP, however, there are numerous
others that have not yet submitted the information. We look forward to hearing
from you! If you have questions, please contact Candy Brassard, US EPA, OPP,
EFED, 401 M Street SW, Washington, D.C., 20460, USA. Telephone 703- 305-
5392 FAX 703-305-6309.
USER MANUAL FOR ECOLOGICAL INCIDENT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Before beginning, you must have Shaughnessy number of the pesticide to
enter the pesticide. In order to print a listing of Shaughnessy numbers and
names, go into dBASEIQ Plus. At the dot prompt, type USE SHANUM
INDEX SHANAME. Press < Enter >. The status bar at the bottom should
indicate the database SHANUM is open and the number of records it
contains. Then, at the dot prompt, type LIST OFF TO PRINT and press
< Enter >. A listing will be routed to your printer and may require a form
feed to eject the last page. At the dot prompt, type CLOSE DATA Press
< Enter >. Then type QUIT. Press < Enter >.
To install the EIIS software, make a separate subdirectory on your harddrive
called "C:\INCID,"
Go to new subdirectory
type CD < ENTER >
then C:\EVCID < ENTER >
type COPY A:\*.* or COPY B:\*.* , depending on what
drive you are using
Unpack the files by typing PKUNZIP EIIS.ZIP < ENTER >.
When the program asks you if you want to overwrite, type "N".
Start dBasein Plus in your usual way. Go to dot prompt.
type run cd C:\INCID

-------
To change the default directory type
SET DEFAULT TO C:\INCID < ENTER >
To start the program, type DO INCIDENT < ENTER >
The database should appear automatically.
Enter your information into the fields as prompted by the cursor. Several
fields will have "pop-up" windows with an alphabetical list of selections. Use
the cursor keys and PgUp or PgDn keys to negotiate these windows and press
< Enter > when the highlight bar is on the selection of your choice. If there
is no appropriate choice for your entry, note that the top line of the window
is often a blank and can be selected as well. This selection allows free-form
entry into the field once selected. However, we recommend using the
available choices within each popup box whenever possible to limit data entry
errors. You also have the option of entering "N/R" (not reported) when the
data field is not mandatory and no information is reported.
Once your database is installed you will begin with the first screen.

Definitions for all the fields on this screen are located in Header

INCIDENT # is a number system we have developed within EPA. If you are
going to enter data you must fill in an incident number. You may have already
developed/ or wish to develop a number system of your own, or you may want
to keep it the same as your case number.
CASE # is your number system you have developed within your state. For
instance 94-01. This number is important so that when another interested party
contacts you, you will know which incident they are discussing. Please be sure
to enter the case number even if it is the same as the incident number so that
when the data are transferred over, we will not lose the case number. The
incident number will not be the same since we will be attaching a new incident
number to coordinate with our system.
After entering the mandatory incident number and the requested case number, the
blinking cursor will indicate the field awaiting input.
A data dictionary with field definitions is available as part of the user manual
documentation. See Appendix 1.

Use site is defined as TRTSITE in the data dictionary.
It is important for the use site to be recorded and reported, since the risk
assessments are currently done based on use pattern. For instance a pesticide
may cause bird kills when used on wheat but not for use on ornamental. The
circumstances under which the pesticide is applied varies depending on use
pattern. Therefore, reporting the use pattern is important for future regulatory
decisions with regards to risk reduction recommendations. For this example, golf
course was selected as the use site of the pesticide.

Use/ Misuse Is defined as CAUSE in the data dictionary.
It is important to understand if the bird kill occurred from intentional misuse of
the pesticide. There have been repeated cases of lacing carcasses in the Western
U.S. with a pesticide that inadvertently kills various birds of prey
(misuse/intentional), in particular endangered species. Another incident occurred
where the pesticide bag was adjacent to a pond and many birds died as a result
from feeding in the pond, this would be considered a misuse/accidental). Our
real purpose in the gathering of information is for the Agency to determine what
types of incidents occur when the pesticide was applied according to the label, or
in this case a "registered" use. For this example, misuse(intentional) was
selected.

The application method is defined as METHODAPPL in the data dictionary.
It is important to report the method of application. Since exposure varies
considerably depending on the method of application. Aerial application would
provide greater spray drift when compared to ground spray. The level of soil
incorporation is also important for granular pesticides. The more they are
incorporated the lower potential exposure to terrestrial wildlife. For this example
surface application was selected.
APPLICATION RATE
The rate of application is important as well, since the rate may vary depending
on region as well as pest. Please report the rate based on the pounds active
ingredient per acre. If you are reporting formulated product please indicate so.
For this example 40 Ibs /Acre of a.i. was applied to the golf course.

The certainty index is decided by the Agency. It basically indicates the Agency's
level of confidence that the pesticide caused the incident.
Definite: In other words, if a there are residues of a particular pesticide in the
carcass and there are measured cholinesterase values that are 80% inhibition, and
the circumstances under which the pesticide was applied are clear, then the
Agency would place a certainty index of a "definite" on the incident.
Probable: An incident would be considered to be probable when no chemical
analysis was conducted or chemical analysis was conducted but the level of
residues or pesticides detected were not considered toxic enough to have caused
the observed effects. The incident may be considered probable if the pesticide
was toxic enough to have caused observed effects and was used in close
proximity.
Possible: An example, is if there were multiple pesticides used and any one of
them could have caused the incident based on exposure and toxicity data then the
certainty index would be a "possible".
20
-------
Unlikely is when there are no measured residues, no necropsy analysis, or the
effects observed were not consistent with those caused by pesticides used in the
area or there was no pesticide use known in area.
Unrelated: this is when an incident occurs and it is unrelated to pesticide use, for
example, avian cholera may cause hundreds of birds to die, but they not be from
pesticide poisoning.

CERTAINTY DISCUSSION
Press and to enter additional information in the
certainty memo field.
The certainty discussion will be a memo field where you have the opportunity to
discuss the aspects that affect the certainty of the incident. In other words, if a
pesticide is believed to have caused the fish kill based on the report, however, the
sampling for residue analysis was done three days after the pesticide was applied,
this will impact the certainty. This memo field is where you can capture this
information.

See habitat defined as HABITATT in the data dictionary. It is important to
understand where the organism was found. In other words was the dead bald
eagle found in the middle of a corn field, or on a edge of a field, or were the
dead mallards found in the middle of a lake or in the middle of a wheat field. All
these facts are necessary in understanding the circumstances under which the
incident occurred, in order to make future risk reduction recommendations. For
this example, the marsh habitat was reported to be where the bald eagles were
found. •

The distance the incident occurred from the treatment site is important. For
example, if the pond with the 500 dead fish was 200 feet away from the field
treated with the pesticide, or if plants were affected 1 mile away from the treated
field, it is important to understand the potential spray drift that could occur from
the treated field. Again understanding field conditions, is important in making
sound regulatory recommendations. For this example, vicinity was the distance
to the treatment site. In other words, the bald eagles were found in a marsh in
the vicinity of the treated golf course.

The cause of exposure window addresses the source of the contaminant such as
drift, runoff, spills, etc. The reported fish kill may have occurred as a result of
runoff or acres of nontarget plants may have been affected from drift. If the field
investigator knows how the organism was exposed to the pesticide, it is important
for the Agency to know for future label changes for the pesticide. The cause of
exposure for this example was ingestion.

The response of the organism is important. In most instances, the response is
noted a mortality. However, as reporting is improved so will the level of
observation. Therefore, when the field investigator is observing the incident,
other affects such as delayed reproduction, behavioral affects such as drooping
head, etc. may also start to be reported. For this example, the response of the
bird was mortality- acute.

The age of the species is also relative. For example, a pesticide currently used
on alfalfa has been found to cause mortality to sage grouse in Idaho. After field
investigators retrieved carcasses and performed necropsies and residue analysis,
it was discovered that it was primarily juvenile sage grouse that were affected.
After studying the habits of this species, it is believed that the juvenile sage
grouse are feeding on only the alfalfa treated field causing mortality, whereas the
adult grouse are feeding on insects, etc. and therefore are not receiving the same
extreme dosages as the juveniles. When reviewing the toxicity data, the risk
assessor would not typically assume the pesticide would cause such high
mortality, but after observing the age of the species, and the habits, it is apparent
that with this species, the age plays an important role in the risk assessment. For
this example, the age of the birds were mixed.

The magnitude window is a field to address the cases when there is not an actual
count of organisms, but the field investigator actually will report cases such as
"all the bluegill were killed by the pesticide". For this example, the magnitude
affected was reported as all. Or all bald eagles in the area were found dead.
NECROPSY CONDITION, NUMBER NECROPSD2D
It is important to know the condition of the carcass prior to necropsy as well as
the number of species that were necropsied. For example, there may be an
incident with over 100 robins found dead, but only 5 were necropsied and
analyzed for residues. If the field investigator did not get to the site right after the
incident occurred, then the carcasses may not be in a condition which would
produce reliable results. For this example, the necropsy condition was quills a
flutter. A typical necropsy condition would be excellent, good, fair or poor. The
number necropsied was 5.
CHOLINESTERASE RANGE, NUMBER ANALYZED
The level of cholraesterase activity is important to report since this is used in
conjunction with the results from the residue analysis to determine the Agency's
level of confidence that the incident occurred from exposure to that pesticide(the
certainty index). The number juialyzed for cholinesterase activity is also
important, to get a full understanding of the possibilities at the site. For this
example, the rage was reported to vary from 20% to 60 %. The number
analyzed were reported to have been 5.

found in that species of organism. There may be 33 ppm found in the tissue of
one bald eagle, and 500 ppm in the tissue of another bald eagle. It is important
to know the lowest as well as the highest level which was measured pesticide for
that species.
If you enter tissue residue information, you must enter 9999.999 all the way

ENVIRONMENTAL RESIDUE WINDOW
DISSOLVED OXYGEN
The environmental residue window gives you the opportunity to report the
conditions under which the incident occurred, such as DO or dissolved oxygen.
Often a fish kill occurs not from the actual exposure to the herbicide, but from
the low dissolved oxygen which occurs as a result of the aquatic plants dying off
in the pond.
pH
The pH affects the persistence of the chemical and the hydrolysis of the chemical.
Reporting a pH of 9 with some chemicals would lead the Agency to believe that
the pesticide would break down within hours.
WATER, SOIL, SEDIMENT, FOLIAGE
Recording what environmental sampling was done at the site of the incident is
important as well as reporting the Level of Detection (LOD). There have been
reported fish kill incidents where a certain pesticide may have caused fish kill,
but the level of detection was not low enough to detect the pesticide. In other
words, if pesticide X LOD was reported to be 45 ppb, and the LC 50 for
warm water fish is 2 ppb, then the LOD is clearly not adequate to detect the
potential effects of the pesticide.

Then the incident will appear as it does in the ADD NEW INCIDENT (Chapter
1). The update options are Pesticide, Species, Residue, Update, and Exit. This
is an important feature when additional information comes in from another state
or federal agency on the same incident. OPP intends to only enter an incident
once, and does not want duplicate information in the system. Often times, a state
agency will report an incident, and then OPP will also receive additional
information from another federal agency such as USFWS, which therefore,
should be added to the database. This update feature accommodates these types
of information.

CHAPTER 9
REPORTS TO PRINTER
-------
This chapter specifically addresses the search and report options. There have been
many instances in which searching for any of the following variables allows for
OPP, EPA Regions, State and Federal Agencies, as well as industry, to have a
better understanding of the data. OPP reviews the pesticide based on use site,
therefore the report will search and print all incidents associated with pesticides
on a certain use site. This is essential in delineating trends of use patterns,
species, etc. In some instances OPP may review the pesticide for all use sites.
This report will search and print all incidents that have been entered for a certain
pesticide.
The search options are as follows: all data (which will provide a summary report
or a datadump for all fields for all incidents), class organism, date range, EPA
region, Formulation, Incident Number, Pesticide, Species, State, and Use site.
You can .select the options you wish to search by and print a report by pressing
< spacebar >. Note that some tagging combinations are not possible. This is
intended to prevent unlikely or illogical searches.

This menu option was designed to prevent the data entry person from assigning
an incident number and entering data on an incident that has been previously
entered. The OPP often times receives reports from various sources on the same
incident, and to prevent entering data on a previously entered incident, this
prescreen allows you to determine if you have entered the data before. The
prescreen options include screen, event started date, and the active ingredient
Shaughnessy Number. For this example, after these fields were entered, incident
123 appeared on the screen, and then the data entry person can determine if this
is the same incident, and just needs to be updated.
