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 cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental 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 sys-
tems. The goal of the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic
energy supplies in an environmentally compatible manner by providing the nec-
essary environmental data and control technology. Investigations include analy-
ses 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 environ-
mental 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 SDDS
User Guide, gives instructions for the encoding of SDDS data sets and
defines procedures for submitting and retrieving data. It also describes
available software packages for analysis of SDDS data.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Assessment Data Systems (EADS) are a group of
independent computerized data bases which are interlinked to provide
common accessibility to data produced by a variety of EPA projects.
EPA-IERL/RTP1s Environmental Assessment (EA) programs are expected to be
heavy contributors and users. Accordingly, the EADS has been structured
in a manner such that EA data can easily be transferred to the input
forms. However, the structure is flexible and comprehensive enough so
that data from virtually any pollutant sampling and analysis protocol
could be included. The EADS is intended to accept data from either energy
systems or industrial processes. Often times these data are multimedia in
nature. Emissions could be fine particles, gases, liquids, solids, or any
combination all coming from the same industrial source. Because pollution
controls are developed on a media-by-media and pollutant-by-pollutant basis,
EADS is composed of media-specific data base systems. They are the Fine
Particle Emissions Information System (FPEIS), the Gaseous Emissions Data
System (6EDS), the Liquid Effluents Data System (LEDS), and the Solid
Discharge Data System (SDDS). This User Guide will instruct in the use of the
SDDS. There are companion User Guides for the other data bases (FPEIS User
Guide, EPA 600/8-80-007, January 1980; LEDS User Guide, EPA 600/8-80-008,
January 1980; GEDS User Guide, EPA-600/8-80-006, January 1980).
1.0-1
-------
While independent, the four data bases are very similar in structure
and are interlinked. 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.
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 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 EADS (FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, and SODS) is designed to characterize
these emissions by providing data on the factors affecting their generation,
modification, sampling, measurement, and analysis. The data base system is
designed so that one can encode and retrieve information regarding a specific
test, a specific source, a specific control device or treatment process, and a
specific pollutant, as well as a large array of other data elements that may
be. :of interest to the user.
The EADS can accommodate partial-data. The number of parameters
measured in a test depends upon the objectives of the testing program. It is
1.0-2
-------
possible that certain source tests will not have all the data which the
EADS is designed to contain, nor is the EADS intended to suggest or
dictate the details of a test program. For example, in a given testing
program, all the tests may be made at only the inlet or outlet, and the
chemical analysis or bioassay results may or may not be conducted. It is
also likely that some of the control technology design and operating
parameters may not be reported. Even if there are missing data, the
available data will be of use and should be reported.
Reading this manual may suggest that EADS is bound, even
constricted, by numerous operational rules. In any computerized system
there must be rules; once understood, they facilitate the job of data
encoding. It must be stressed, nevertheless, that flexibility has been
built into EADS. This will be shown in succeeding sections of this User
Guide.
Data from sources or sites for which the company name, location,
etc., are or should remain confidential can also be accommodated. The
encoding of data from confidential sources is discussed in Section 4 of
this User Guide and the EADS Systems Overview Manual (EPA-600/8-80-005,
January 1980).
The SDDS system contains industrial or energy process source
emissions test data and related source and control system design and
operating data. It attempts to comprehensively describe the solid
discharges at the point from which the solid sample is collected from the
discharge stream. General groups or categories of information include
source characteristics, discharge stream characteristics, control device
or treatment process information, process conditions, test information,
analyses of the fuels and feedstocks, sampling activity information,
1.0-3
-------
inorganic and organic chemical analyses, radionuclide analyses, and
bioassay results. Each group of information includes a number of related
data elements, each of which is a unique variable essential for the
description of the source tested.
A uniform protocol for units and terminology has been developed
along with standard data input forms, output report formats and analytical
software. Each data element in the system has been defined in detail for
clarity. These standards and definitions will allow all data in the
system to be stored or retrieved on a common basis.
The SDDS has been implemented at the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) National Computer Center (NCC) at Research Triangle Park, on
(IT) (IT)
the UNI VAC 1100 computer, using SYSTEM 2000^. SYSTEM 2000^ is a
data base management system developed by the Commercial Systems Division
of INTEL, Inc. It will provide users with a virtually unlimited potential
for data analysis. Features of SYSTEM 2000^ include sorting,
comparing, and retrieving information from the SDDS data base in a variety
of arrangements.
There are two companion documents to the SDDS User Guide: the EADS
Systems Overview Manual (EPA-600/8-80-005, January 1980) and the EADS
Terminology Reference Manual (EPA-600/8-80-011, February 1980). A
complete set of EADS documentation would include User Guides for the
liquid, fine particle and gaseous data bases (LEDS, FPEIS and GEDS,
respectively) as well. The EADS Systems Overview Manual contains a
broad-based description of the purposes and scope of the EADS, a
discussion of its organization, and descriptions of the EADS reference
data bases and user software. The EADS Terminology Reference Manual is a
general reference manual on the terminology used to enter and retrieve
1.0-4
-------
information from the EADS waste stream data bases. These manuals are
designed with discrete segments for major sections and subsections. As
changes, additions, and expansions of the system and the informational
capabilities are made, the manuals will be updated as appropriate.
Section 2 describes the structure, organization and contents of the
SDDS. Section 3 demonstrates an application of a sampling activity to the
SDDS structure and how data should be organized for an encoding effort.
Encoding instructions are given in Section 4. Section 5 describes
procedures required after data has been encoded and is being submitted for
inclusion in the SDDS. Section 6 describes the steps for on- and off-line
data retrievals. User output analysis packages are enumerated in
Section 7 ~ Program Library. Users should become thoroughly familiar
with the contents of this document before attempting to encode data.

SECTION 2
DATA BASE DESCRIPTION
2.0 SDDS STRUCTURE
The discussion in this section is intended to introduce the new
EADS user to the data base. The main objective is to familiarize the user
with the fundamental structural components of the data base and how they
are assembled to form a structural hierarchy. While this User Guide is
for SDDS only, the user should realize that each of the four data bases
that comprise EADS (6EDS, FPEIS, LEDS and SDDS) are structured in an
identical manner. 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.
The structure of the SDDS data base 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. The completeness of information
for any given source test within the data base is limited only by the
completeness of the test report or original test data from which the SDDS
input was derived.
Before continuing on in this section, the user should become
familiar with certain terms used throughout the EADS documents. These
2.0-1
-------
terms form the structure upon which all of the EADS waste stream data
bases are based. 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. In order to maintain the
integrity of the EADS data, it is imperative that these definitions are
understood and properly used.
media - Used in reference to an effluent stream from a
stationary source. May be either fine particle,
gaseous, liquid, or solid.
source ~ A source may be either an industrial or energy
conversion facility. 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.
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 on that stream is referred to as the
control system.
2.0-2
-------
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 at a
single source 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. For
example, a solid sample could be sieved into two or more
samples of different sized material. If each was analyzed
separately, then each must be considered a component.
Several data elements or information items are required to adequately
describe the groups of information which are contained within the SDDS.
These groups are discussed in the EADS Systems Overview Manual and in greater
detail in this section. Also, the reader may wish to refer to the Data Base
Definition (a computer listing of all data elements) and the Data Base Tree
(a graphical presentation of the major groups of information contained in
2.0-3
-------
the data base) in Appendix A.2. 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 2-1.
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.
It is possible that certain tests may involve changes to the process which
may make the use of multiple test series more appropriate. This is
entirely at the discretion of the encoder. The encoder should do whatever
seems most convenient and logical. The following examples will illustrate
this point.
Suppose a process is tested under two sets of aerobic digestion
treatment techniques which are very similar with regard to design
parameters. One test is performed using each treatment process
individually. The encoder would probably find it most convenient to
assign a unique Test ID Number to each test within one test series, rather
than assigning each test to a separate test series. Because these two
treatment processes do not have appreciable design differences, there is
no reason to call them different treatment processes, and thus assign them
to different test series. Now suppose a process is equipped with two
totally different treatment processes each of which is tested while the
other is not in operation. Because design conditions of the treatment

processes are different, it would be more appropriate to assign those
treatment processes to two different test series rather than two tests
within one test series.
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(s)/treatment process design parameters as well as stream
parameters (i.e., flowrate, moisture content, 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, S02 scrubbers, and waste water
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
fuels and feedstocks to the process are completely characterized. A test
is broadly defined as a set of various types of samples (e.g., integrated
composite, grab-core, continuous, grab-surface, etc.) taken to
characterize a source waste stream(s) under one set of source and control
2.0-6
-------
device/treatment process operating conditions. Occasionally engineering
judgement needs to be used when, for example, source operating conditions
may change during a test. A decision needs to be made regarding the
effect of the change on the emissions being tested. If it is deemed an
insignificant change then the encoder may designate the test as one test.
However, if the source operating change could appreciably alter the
quality or quantity of emissions, then the encoder should create multiple
tests, one for each source condition and each containing samples taken
during that particular operating condition.
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, 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 separate data bases. The solid sample data must be encoded
into SDDS and the liquid sample data into LEDS. While this procedure may
seem confusing while encoding data, it will facilitate data output
requests.
Looking again at Figure 2-1, 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
2.0-7
-------
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 solid discharge 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/treatment process operating conditions. Again, the
data system will accommodate information from any number of tests
performed on each discharge stream. Frequently a discharge 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.
When making a decision whether or not to submit data to EADS, the
user should not let the amount of data enter into his or her decision.
EADS will accept a test series of any size, regardless of the number of
effluent streams, tests, or samples. The primary decision criteria should
be the perceived value or usefulness of the data to the user community.
This decision should be a mutual one between the contractor and his
project officer. Guidance may also be sought from the EADS technical
staff.

2.1 SDDS ORGANIZATION AND CONTENTS
As one can see from the previous discussion, the SDDS data base
structure contains four levels. These levels are simply an organizational
tool -- enabling the data to be arranged in a manner which is logical from
the user's viewpoint. Each level contains specific types or groups of
data. Table 2-1 shows the relationship between these general groups of
information and the contents in each group, while the data base structure
is shown in Figure 2-2. 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 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.
2.1.1 Source and Test Series Related Information
This group of data elements identifies the stationary source that
was tested, the source location, and the origin of the data which comprise
the test series. 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 appropriate 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 SIC code

President Office of Management and Budget, prepared by the Statistical
Policy Division, GPO Stock No. 4101-0066, 1972) for cross-reference to
other data systems. The allowable entries for the EADS Source
Classification System are listed in the EADS Terminology Reference Manual
and use four increasingly specific descriptors to characterize a source.
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.
An important feature of the SDDS is that it can protect
confidential or proprietary source data, if the source owners so choose.
The SDDS will accept the entry "CONFIDENTIAL" for any source who wishes
their identity (i.e., site name and address) to be anonymous. This
enables the SDDS to store important gaseous data from sources which would
otherwise be unavailable. EPA will have no knowledge whatsoever of the
identity of the source. This feature has already been frequently used
with the original FPEIS and has been a great aid in obtaining data.
Each of the EADS data bases also contains cross references to other
data bases within EADS. For example, suppose a source with multimedia
discharge streams is tested and the solid discharge data are to be
reported in the SDDS. The SDDS test series would then contain cross
references (i.e., Test Series Number -- TSN) to test series in the other
media, either fine particle, liquid, gaseous or whichever combination was
appropriate, for the same source. In the same manner, test series in the
other media would contain a cross reference (TSN) to the SDDS data base.
2.1-5
-------
2-1.2 Control Device and Stream Design Conditions
A description of the design conditions of the solid discharge
stream at the sampling location is contained within this group. This
information may include data elements such as flowrate, moisture content
and velocity. 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.
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 device or treatment process by generic device type,
design type, specific process type, and the device class. If this
standard nomenclature is found to be insufficient in describing the
control device, the encoder may include keywords to further describe it.
Commercial name and manufacturer may also be entered.
Control device/treatment process design parameters are indicated by
type and value, where known. A tabulation of suggested minimum
specification types is provided as standard nomenclature in the
Terminology Reference Manual. The units to be used are also given. The
EADS uses SI units throughout, except where noted. A listing of units and
useful conversion factors is located at the end of Section 4.
2.1.3 Test Operating Conditions
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. Control device operating parameters are
indicated by type and value, and are described by standard nomenclature
2.1-6
-------
with appropriate units also given. As with the design parameters,
suggested operating parameters are given for many of the typical gaseous
control devices or treatment processes in use today for a variety of
sources. The user may define and include additional parameters as
required, but should, however, receive approval from the EADS Project
Manager beforehand.
This group also contains data describing all fuels and feedstocks
that are inputs to the process being sampled. Up to nine separate fuels
or feedstock materials may be described for each process waste stream
sampled in the test series. The description of the fuel or feedstock
includes proximate and ultimate analysis results, physical characteristics,
inorganic and organic composition, as well as the rate of consumption of
the fuel or feedstock.
2.1.4 Sampling Activity Information
This group of data elements consists of information that describes
individual sampling activities, including actual measured solid stream
conditions at the sampling location, such as velocity, flowrate, 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.
Frequently, a sample contains two or more components, each of which
is analyzed separately. For example, a solid sample may be sieved and the
resulting samples or components may be analyzed separately. This group of
SDDS 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 the sample or component. Chemical, physical,
radionuclide, and bioassay results may be reported. Results are typically
2.1-7
-------
presented as the identification of the species analyzed and the actual
source concentration as contributed by that component.
An important feature of this group is the quality control/quality
assurance information on the analytical results. Data elements that
provide some measure of quality control and assurance include detection
limits of the analytical method, total amount of sample analyzed, sample
aliquot, identification of the analytical laboratory and reference to any
laboratory quality assurance (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 SODS. More information on
the audit data base can be found in the EADS Systems Overview Manual and
in Section 3 of this User Guide.
Special provisions have been included to accommodate the organic
species reporting protocol of a Level 1 or 2 environmental assessment
sampling and analysis program. This analysis protocol includes a group of
qualitative and semi-quantitative analytical methods whose results are
suggested to be reported in a manner shown in the example in Figure 2-3
(taken from the "IERL/RTP Procedures Manual: Level 1 Environmental
Assessment (Second Edition)," EPA-600/7-78-201, October 1978). The SDDS
is designed to accommodate this information and, in addition, can report
analytical methods and detection limits as well.
The SDDS is, however, not restricted to accepting Level 1 data
only. It is flexible so that any reporting protocol can be included.

SECTION 3
DATA ACQUISITION AND ORGANIZATION
3.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to demonstrate how the encoder would
use the structural concepts discussed in Section 2 to prepare a set of
source testing data for encoding into the SDDS. This will be demonstrated
with a hypothetical example. This section will also discuss some special
problems that may occur while encoding source test data. For example, how
do you encode data obtained from the analysis of a liquid sample that
contains solid particles? Here we are dealing with two media. Also, how
are slurry stream samples encoded? This section will attempt to answer
these questions. We cannot forsee all the peculiar situations and special
problems that may occur during the encoding process, but the general
guidelines and techniques given here should greatly facilitate this task.
Feel free to call the EADS Data Base Program Manager or the EADS technical
staff listed on page xi if any questions arise during the encoding process,
3.0-1
-------
3.1 HOW TO BUILD A TEST SERIES
This section describes the techniques and the thought processes
that the user should employ when encoding source testing data onto the
SDDS data input forms. Using the techniques described here will be of
particular benefit to the user who is not familiar with the EADS system
and underlying concepts. To those who already have some experience with
EADS, possibly through the use of the original Fine Particle Emissions
Information System (FPEIS), these methods may already be familiar to some
degree.
In most cases, the user will have either a test report or perhaps
simply summary tables of results obtained from a source testing effort.
The problem that confronts the user is how to efficiently and accurately
transfer that morass of data onto the SDDS data input forms. Experience
has shown that the most efficient thing to do is to first organize the
data and information before you ~ on paper. The key to this organization
of data is the pyramid structure of the SDDS. All of the EADS (i.e.,
6EDS, FPEIS, LEDS, and SDDS) are structured in a similar manner and the
encoding forms and SERIES reports are designed to reflect this structure.
Indeed, source testing reports can be thought of as being arranged in such
a 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.
How then does the user arrange his source testing data into the
pyramid structure? Very simply, the user should lay out a structure on
paper similar to that shown in Figure 3-1. There will be one box at the
test series level to represent the source. The stream design level will
contain as many boxes as there are effluent streams. In a like manner,
the test operating level will contain one box for each test performed on
each stream. And finally, at the sample level, each test will contain as
many boxes as there are samples. The user should then assign appropriate
labels, according to his data, to the source, streams, tests and samples,
and enter those labels in the corresponding boxes of the pyramid. This
approach has two major benefits. One, it forces the user to understand
and organize his data, and two, it structures the data in a manner that
aids tremendously in encoding and proper ordering of the forms. You will
recall that the data forms are organized in a manner similar to the data
base itself. They proceed from the general to the specific.
Section 4 contains detailed encoding instructions which, when used
in conjunction with the above organization methods, make the encoding task
straightforward.
3.1-3
-------
3.2 DATA INPUT FORM STRUCTURE
The SDDS data elements (see Table 2-1) are entered on eleven data
input forms. The layout of the eleven forms is such that the data elements
in any one test series that are least likely to change, are located on
Form 1, and the most likely to change are on Forms 7 through 11. It becomes
apparent that the input forms are arranged according to the hierarchical
structure (i.e., a pyramid) of the data base as shown in Figure 3-1.
Forms 1 and 2 (see Section A.4 in the Appendix) include source
description data, stream design characteristics and control device/
treatment/storage/recovery process information. Because this is design
data, it will not change for a given test series on a given source/control
device/process combination. The information on Form 1 is contained in the
test series level while the Form 2 stream/control device/process information
is at the stream design level.
The test operating level is the third level down on the hierarchical
structure and it, as the name implies, contains operating information --
operating in the sense that these are the conditions of the source, control
device/process and fuels and feedstocks during the actual test. This
information is entered on Forms 3 through 5.
The bottom level in the EADS structure is the sample level. This
information is entered on Forms 6 through 11. These forms are expected to
be the most frequently used in that often a number of measurement
instruments, some with two or more components, are used in a given test.
Also a variety of analyses are frequently performed on a collected sample.
Once all data input forms have been encoded, the forms must be put
in a specific order. There are two important reasons for this. One,
because the repetitive data feature (described in detail in Section 4) is
3.2-1
-------
predicated on correctly ordered input; and two, the computer processing
performs order checks. The rules for ordering input are very
straightforward and can be explained in two different ways.
Look at Figure 3-2, a typical test series. The input forms are
ordered by starting at the top and moving down and left, checking off the
boxes as you encounter them. When you can't go down and left any more,
back up to the first place where you can go down and left again to an
unchecked box. The input forms are ordered in the same way as the boxes
are .numbered in Figure 3-2. Remember that each box represents one or more
input forms.
Each input form has multiple lines on it. Each line is identified
by a letter and a number called a card number. Each major grouping of
lines has the same letter and is identified on the input forms, e.g.,
F-fuels and feedstocks. Each line of input also has one or more of these
fields (or data elements) -- test series number, stream ID, test ID,
sample number, component number. Suppose that you are encoding a single
test series. The test series number will be the same on all forms
submitted. The first form will be Form 1, containing the source
description and test series comments. All forms for the first stream
follow. The stream characteristics and control devices on one or more
Form 2's are next. Then comes all of the data about the first test on the
stream on Forms 3, 4, and 5. The first sample of this test ID follows on
Form 6. The first component of the sample follows on Forms 7, 8, 9, and
10. Then comes the second component, the third and so on. Then come
bioassay data on the sample on one or more Form ll's. The second sample
of the test comes next followed by its component and bioassay data. Then
comes the third sample and its component and bioassay data, the fourth

another set of Forms 3, 4, and 5 describing the second test and sets of
forms for each sample and component following. After all tests on the
first stream have been encoded, then a new Form 2 is used to specify the
second stream. The test, samples, and components of the second stream
follow in the same way as they did for the first stream. Continue in this
way until all streams have been encoded.
Although the stream ID, test ID, sample number and component number
form a defacto page numbering scheme, it is recommended that the pages be
consecutively numbered in the space provided.
3.2-4
-------
3.3 STRUCTURE APPLICATION EXAMPLE
The techniques for organizing solid discharge source sampling data
are demonstrated in the following paragraphs using a hypothetical
example. Table 3-1 shows a sampling log of source tests performed at a
pressurized fluidized-bed combustion process (PFBC). The log shows that
two tests were performed at two sampling locations, the collection system
discard and the bed reject. The two tests correspond to two different
source operating conditions where the plant was operating first at 80
percent of capacity and then at maximum rated capacity. Core and surface
grab samples were taken at each location under both operating conditions.
While the sampling log clearly shows what occurred during the
testing program, it does not display this information in a manner such
that the user can easily visualize how the data should be organized for
encoding purposes. Nor does it provide any information on how the encoded
forms are to be ordered before they are keypunched. At least for the
beginning user, and we believe it's an excellent tool even for the
experienced user, the data should be arranged in the pyramid structure
shown in Figure 3-3. In our hypothetical example, the rearranged sampling
log information would look like Figure 3-3. The PFBC process would be
entered as the source at the test series level and the two sampled streams
would at the next level down. The stream design level can contain any
number of effluent streams. Following down to the test operating level,
you can see that each of the two tests is labeled and entered into a box.
Each stream thus has two tests, one at 80 percent load and one at full
load. The sample level Indicates which samples were taken during

each test on each stream. Each box represents one measurement instrument
or sample. The numbers in circles located at the upper left corner of
each box on Figure 3-3 indicate the order in which the encoded data input
forms should be arranged. The rule for ordering of forms is: starting at
the top, move down and left, number the boxes consecutively as they are
encountered. When you can't go down and left anymore, back up to the
first place where you can go down and left again to an unchecked box.
While the forms should be numbered in the manner indicated on Figure 3-3,
recall that each number may represent one or more forms. For example the
box:
80 percent load
test 1
may include forms 3 through 5 which describe the operating conditions
during test 1. The box:

may include forms 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

3.4 SPECIAL ENCODING CONSIDERATIONS
The SDDS has a certain amount of flexibility built in and this
enables it to accommodate data.from a variety of sampling protocols and
unusual source situations. The purpose of this section is to discuss some
of these special situations and to familiarize the user with the manner in
which EADS conforms to them. In addition, this section discusses the
rationale for some of the encoding instructions described in Section 4.
3.4.1 Multimedia Test Series
Frequently in source sampling activities, multimedia effluent
samples are collected and analyzed. This is particularly true in
environmental assessment (EA) programs where the contractor is trying to
assess the overall environmental impact of a stationary source. For
example, if a coal-fired utility boiler equipped with NO controls, an
A
electrostatic precipitator, and a flue gas desulfurization system was the
subject of an EA testing program, streams from all media, gas, fine
particle, liquid, and solid, would probably be sampled and analyzed. The
analysis data from each specific media effluent stream would be encoded in
its respective data base (i.e., solid discharge analysis results would be
encoded into the SDDS). You might ask yourself how, if data from one
source is entered into four separate data bases in EADS, a user could
benefit from this 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 TSN. Thus, in
our example, the SDDS file would contain the FPEIS, LEDS, and 6EDS Test
Series Numbers as cross references. Conversely, LEDS would contain the
GEDS, FPEIS, and SDDS TSN's as cross references. FPEIS and GEDS would
follow in the same manner.
3.4-1
-------
3.4.2 Multiple Control Devices
The EADS recognizes the fact that an effluent stream may have
multiple control devices. For example, a solid discharge stream may have
a shredding process and an incineration process in series. Up to five
control devices can be accommodated per stream. During the encoding
process, the user is required to assign a number to each control device.
The control device number will be unique for that device in that test
series. The device number is used to identify the set of design and
operating parameters for that particular device in the event that there
are multiple devices.
3.4.3 Parallel or Series Control Devices
Frequently an effluent stream will have two or more control devices
for various pollutants either in a series or parallel arrangement. This
situation is handled in the following way. In a series arrangement, the
control devices are serially assigned unique device numbers 1, 2, 3, ...
etc., to a maximum of five. Each control device will then have a Form 2
and a Form 3 encoded. These forms should be ordered in the same sequence
as they occur in the effluent stream and in addition, group all Form 2's
together and all Form 3's together. If the control devices are in
parallel, the convention is to label them as 11, 12, 21, 22, etc. Each
device will again have a Form 2 and a Form 3 and again they should be
ordered in the same sequence that they occur in the effluent stream with
all Form 2's together and all Form 3's together.
3.4.4 Fuels and Feedstocks
Frequently a stationary source of solid discharges will have one or
more fuels and/or material feedstocks as inputs to the process. These
inputs are routinely sampled as part of most testing activities and are
3.4-2
-------
subsequently analyzed for a variety of parameters and purposes. For
example, material balances around a process are usually performed on
elements (e.g., sulfur) with the intent of validating the data and to
assess the origin and fate of chemical species. The SDDS has two input
forms devoted totally to recording information about the fuels/feedstocks
and any chemical or physical analysis performed. In addition to the
consumption rate and type of fuel/feedstock, the SDDS has data groups
reserved for proximate and ultimate analyses (for fuels only), general
characteristics (usually physical parameters such as viscosity or pour
point), and chemical analyses. Information and analyses for up to nine
different fuels and feedstocks from one source may be included in each
test series.
The encoder of data should note that general characteristics may be
entered as either number or text values. Normally such values would be
entered as numbers (e.g., pour point, -10°C). However, occasionally
either a range of values needs to be entered or possibly a word descriptor
of some physical characteristic. Here, the entries would be written as
text. More detailed instructions on this point can be found in Section 4,
Group F.
In recognizing the variety of units in which fuels and feedstocks
chemical analyses are reported, the SDDS has left the units selection for
actual concentration open to the discretion of the user. This flexibility
is not the case, however, when reporting actual concentrations of chemical
species in effluent streams (on Forms 8 and 9). These units must be in
ug/g.
3.4-3
-------
3.4.5 Data Accuracy and Quality
The SDDS contains data elements that assist the user in assessing
data quality, accuracy, and validity. These include identification of the
testing group, analytical laboratories, analysis methods, sampling
methods, high and low detection limits of the analytical methods, total
sample quantities and aliquots, and QA/QC codes. The QA/QC codes are
obtained by the user from the EADS Program Manager at the time the SDDS
data input forms are encoded. Each analytical laboratory that has
undergone a quality assurance/quality control 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 SDDS 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.
3.4.6 Effluent Characteristics
This group of data is intended to accommodate any qualitative
measurement of an effluent stream parameter, other than inorganic and
organic chemical species, radionuclide, and bioassay results. This will
3.4-4
-------
typically include physical parameters of the sample such as opacity, odor,
or color. Values may be entered on the forms as either number or text.
For example, pH would be encoded as a number, say 3.4 percent, whereas
color would be encoded as a text value, light brown, for example. Space
on the encoding forms is also provided for the analytical method and any
applicable detection limits and their units.
3.4.7 Reporting of Chemical Analysis Results
The EADS input forms have been developed so that a variety of
sampling and analysis protocols can be accommodated. EPA/IERL-RTP's EA
programs are expected to be one of the primary suppliers and users of
data. Thus, in response to the special reporting protocols of EA
programs, EADS has put emphasis in this area, without relegating other
reporting protocols to a lesser position.
Specifically, Form 8 has been designed for all inorganic analysis
results and organic analysis results that do not conform to Level 1
protocols. Form 9, however, is reserved exclusively for reporting organic
analysis results that do conform to Level 1 protocol. 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 TCO and Grav
3.4-5
-------
concentrations. TCO analysis gives volatile organic material and Grav
analysis yields nonvolatile organic material. This data in combination
with qualitative results obtained from infrared analysis, called intensity
values, and information about the source, enables 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 SDDS is fully capable of accepting all
this data. In addition, fractions, organic categories, and species are
identified by a MEG number. This is a unique ID for that species and is
part of a system used in EA methodology (Multimedia Environmental Goals
for Environmental Assessment Volumes 1 and 2, EPA-600/7-77-136a, b,
November 1977) for evaluating and ranking pollutants according to
environmental impact. The encoder must use MEG numbers when inputting EA
data (i.e., Level 1 or 2). Either MEG or CAS numbers ("Chemical Abstracts
-- Chemical Substance Index," American Chemical Society) may be used for
data obtained by some other sampling and analysis protocol. When this
data is extracted from the data base as output, it will appear with the
preferred chemical name first, then other less common names.
3.4.8 Reporting of Radionuclide Data
One complete form is devoted to recording radionuclide analysis
results of solid samples. Actual source concentrations of radionuclides
are to be recorded in the units, pCi/gram. 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, note that space is available to
include metastable isotopes (i.e., Kr-85M).
3.4-6
-------
3.4.9 * Bioassay Results
As part of EPA's EA scheme, 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. This is especially true for gaseous
and fine particle samples. 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. Consequently Form 11, which records bioassay results, has no
space for component sequence number. The encoder should record in the
comments section which component sample was tested or if component samples
were combined.
While most bioassay data elements on Form 11 pertain to all types
of biotests, some apply to only specific tests. These are listed below:
Data Element Bioassay Test
Type of Value All except the Ames
Bacteria Mutagenicity Response Ames only

Manual: Level 1 Environmental Assessment Biological Tests for Pilot
Studies," EPA-600/7-77-043, April 1977.
3.4-7
-------
"Level of Toxicity" is defined as "a qualitative expression of the
bioassay results based upon a predefined range in LDgg, EC,-g or LC^g,
etc." Table 3-2* may be used as an aid in determining the Level of
Toxicity for specific bioassays. Given a certain assay and response
range, the encoder can determine whether the Level of Toxicity is high,
moderate, low, or not detectable.

SECTION 4
ENCODING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SDDS DATA INPUT FORMS
This section presents detailed, card-by-card, encoding instructions
for each SDDS data element on the Standard Data Input Forms. The
instructions are separated into 12 groups (identified by the letters A, B,
C, D, E, F, H, K, L, M, R, and T) corresponding to the major groupings of
SDDS data elements. The SDDS Data Input Form number (1 through 11) is
given for each group. While reading these instructions, it would be
beneficial to refer to the blank input forms in Appendix A.4.
4.0 GENERAL RULES
General instructions that apply to data coding include the
following:
The letter "0" is to be encoded "0" and zero is encoded "0".
t Zeros are treated as numbers. Blank spaces in a field indicate
either a lack of data, or that the pertinent data have been
coded for the preceding test conditions or sampling activity.
(See the discussion on the repetitive data feature in Section
4.1.) To blank out a data field, or to prevent data from being
automatically repeated by the EDIT program, encode 9999... in
all columns in the field for numeric fields, and NA in the
first two columns of the field for alphanumeric fields.
4.0-1
-------
All numeric data shall be right-justified and all alphanumeric
data shall be left-justified, except where noted otherwise.
Only specified alphabetical or numerical characters and a few
symbols (%, &, #, /, +, -,<,>, and all punctuation marks
except the colon) are allowed to be entered in the columns
where allowed. No unusual marks are to be made in the spaces.
No data field headings are to be changed and only data
appropriate to the field are to be entered. This rule prevents
unnecessary keypunching errors in processing the forms. No
colons are permitted anywhere.
Do not use Greek letters, as these cannot be interpreted by the
computer. For example, microgram (yg) is encoded UG. Refer to
Table A-14 in the Terminology Reference Manual or the tables at
the end of this section for the encoding of engineering units.
SI units are used throughout the EADS, except where otherwise
noted.
Only the allowed coding values may be entered in columns that
require coding symbols. When + is indicated at the top of the
column, enter either + or -, as appropriate. Also, indicate if
the data being encoded are less than, greater than, or equal to
a value by using the signs <, >, or leaving the space blank, as
noted on the appropriate field heading.
The small triangle between columns on the forms represents the
decimal point. Enter the fractional decimal digits to the
right of the triangle.
Leave all the shaded portions on the forms blank.
4.0-2
-------
t The following identification data elements must be entered on
the first card of every section (data group) where they appear.
Data Element Card Columns Instructions
Test series number 2-6 Enter on all forms.
Stream number 7-8 Enter only on Forms 2 through 11.
Test ID number 9-11 Enter only on Forms 3 through 11.
Sample number 12-13 Enter only on Forms 6 through 11.
Note, that if encoding instructions are not given for card columns
1 through 15 for any card, the instructions are the same as those
for the previous card.
In several instances, more cards than allotted on the forms may be
added by the user if needed to encode all the data. The detailed
encoding instructions indicate the corresponding data elements, and
specify a limit to the number of additional cards that may be
included.
Many data elements, identified in the detailed encoding
instructions, require standard nomenclature. The user must use
data from the tables given in the Terminology Reference Manual to
encode these data elements (Tables A-l through A-15). All standard
nomenclature is left-justified.
Whenever the data exceed the available space on the forms, use the
available space completely, then finish the discussion by using the
comments section of the appropriate level (i.e., test series, test,
sample, or component, described in Section 2).
Whenever there are pertinent data for which no data elements exist,
use the comments section of the appropriate level.
4.0-3
-------
Make the text as brief as possible through the use of
abbreviations, precise words, and elimination of redundant words.
The text should always start at the leftmost column (i.e.,
left-justified).
t The encoding instructions are designed to apply to the majority of
cases for which data will be reported. But, it is recognized that
unusual situations (source/control system combinations, for
example) may occur. If you have data that do not correspond with
the encoding instructions, make reasonable assumptions to reflect
the actual test data, or contact the EADS Technical Staff for
guidance.
When more than one control device is used, use a separate data
input Form 2 for each control device used. Be sure to give each
control device a unique number within the test series. Up to five
control devices in a test series may be coded for a given source
emission stream.
When more than one source is discharging into an effluent stream,
encode the data for one source (usually the dominant one), and
refer to the other source(s) in the test series comments.
If data are reported for different components of a sampling
instrument separately and combined, define component numbers for
all cases (on Form 7). For example, for the catches from different
sized sieves:
Component number 1 = Catch number 1
Component number 2 = Catch number 2
Component number 3 = Catches 1 and 2 combined.
4.0-4
-------
If the data from the sampling method are not split into components,
encode the component sequence number = 01, and the component name
as TOTAL SAMPLE (on Form 7).
After all the forms are encoded and put in order (see Section 3 for
a discussion of the ordering of the completed forms), paginate the
forms in the indicated spaces to keep them organized and to prevent
loss.
It is critical to include all "zero" cards which start a data
group. Specifically, these cards are AO, CO, DO, EO, FO, HO, and
KO. These cards initialize indices which are used to load the data
into the data base. These indices are the Test Series Number, the
Stream Number, the Device Number, the Test ID Number, the Feed
Material Sequence Number, the Sample Number, and the Component
Sequence Number, respectively for the above cards, and starred
below where they first occur.
The information that is REQUIRED on these cards is as follows:
CARD AO -- *Test Series Number
Source Category
Source Type
Product/Device Type
CARD CO -- Test Series Number
*Stream Number
Stream Name
CARD DO Test Series Number
Stream Number
*Device Number
Generic Device/Process Type (If uncontrolled, enter
"NONE". If not known, enter "NOT SPECIFIED".)
4.0-5
-------
CARD EO -- Test Series Number
Stream Number
*Test ID Number
CARD FO Test Series Number
Stream Number
Test ID Number
*Feed Material Sequence Number
Source Feed Material (If data are not available, enter
"NOT SPECIFIED".)
CARD HO Test Series Number
Stream Number
Test ID Number
*Sample Number
Method Type and Measurement Instrument/Method. (If not
known, enter "NOT SPECIFIED".)
CARD KO Test Series Number
Stream Number
Test ID Number
Sample Number
*Component Sequence Number
Component Name (If not specified, enter "TOTAL SAMPLE".)
These cards and data elements must be included even if no other
data are encoded. A "zero" card must be included whenever any
of the indices are reinitialized; that is whenever the encoder
returns to the start of a data group. For example, when a
second sample is taken, the encoder must include another CARD
HO with a new Sample Number.
In addition to the above, the following data elements are also
required to be entered on the forms:
CARD Al Process Type
Feed Material Category
CARD H2 Sampling Location Code
Sampling Location Description
Instruct keypunchers not to punch a card unless there are
handwritten data entered on the card.
4.0-6
-------
4.1 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.
However, misunderstanding of these features may result in the entering of
erroneous data. The labor saving features are explained below. If the
explanation is not clear, the safe rule to remember is "if in doubt, fill
it out."
4.1.1 Repetitive Data Feature
The "Repetitive Data Feature" is an important labor saving device
because it frees the encoder from having to enter repetitive data. In
general, this means that asterisked (*) fields on the input forms need
only be filled out when there is a change in the value of that field.
Putting in additional values or deleting existing values can also be
accommodated by the repetitive data feature.
However, there are limits and conditions. These are shown in
Figure 4-1, the schematic representation of a single test series with
specific groupings. The hierarchical (level) structures of the EADS data
base are also shown. The boxes outlined with dashed lines ( ) show the
limits on the use of the repetitive data feature. For example, at the
sample level, notice that repeating component data can be accommodated in
a single test across component groups, but not across different tests.
Operating conditions data at the test level can be accommodated across
tests but not across streams. In general, the limits can be described by
the following rule. The repetitive data feature operates at the stream,
test, and sample levels of the EADS data base. It only operates across
component groups which have the same data group at the next higher level

-------
of the data base. For example, it operates across components at the
sample level until the operating conditions (test level) change.
All the data elements for which the repetitive data feature is
valid are identified by an asterisk (*) on the input forms.
In many instances, a particular data element may not be constant
for all its occurrences. It may have one value for its first few
occurrences, then change values or not be known for other occurrences. In
these situations, the value of the data element must be reinitialized to
the new value each time the value changes. If the data are not known, the
correct way to reinitialize the value is to enter "NA" in the first two
columns of the field for alphanumeric data or "9" in every card column for
numeric data. Consider the following example.
Suppose that there are 20 samples with the same source/process
operating conditions. In the first nine samples, SAMPLE TEMPERATURE is
110°C. In the next four it is 120°C; it is unknown for the next
three, and is 150°C for the remainder. In the first sample, enter 110
in columns 58 through 61 of the HO card. The value has now been
initialized. The same field can be left blank for the next eight samples
because they have the same value. For the tenth sample, the value 120 is
entered, reinitializing temperature. The temperature on the next three
samples can be left blank because they are also 120. In sample 14, where
the temperature is unknown, the value 9999 is entered as "null" value,
reinitializing the field. If this were not a numeric field, then "NA"
should be entered as the "null" value. In sample 17, the value 150 would
be entered and then the field would be left blank for samples 18, 19,
and 20.
4.1-3
-------
In this way, with the repetitive data feature, only four unique
values must be encoded instead of 20. When there are a number of
unchanging values, this feature will save considerable time and effort.
4.1.2 Control Device and Design Parameters
Another example is in the case where two different streams from the
same source each have an identical control device installed. Here, one
should assign the same Device Number (CARD DO) to each. The repetitive
data feature will permit the encoder to fill out the data on all D cards
(DO, Dl, D2, D3, and D4) just once, leaving those for the second control
device blank. All of the data for the second device will automatically
repeat. For example, on CARD D4, once the design parameter data have been
initialized, they remain constant until changed. Be sure to include a
CARD DO with the Device Number on it, to reference the control device.
The only exception to the encoding instructions for an unknown or
"null" value occurs when such a value is needed in the first occurrence.
In that instance, leave the field blank for an unknown or "null" value.
4.1.3 Operating Parameter Serial Number Feature
The Parameter Number (CARD E2, cc 16 and 17) in the control device
operating parameter group is also a labor saving feature. The Control
Device/Treatment Process Operating Parameters as encoded for the first
Test ID Number will be printed in their entirety for succeeding Test ID
Numbers within the same Stream Number unless changed. Operating parameter
names and values which do not change between tests will be duplicated
automatically for subsequent tests provided that only the parameter number
is reentered for the new test.
If operating parameters happen to change between tests, only the
parameter number and its new value need to be encoded. The data which do
4.1-4
-------
not change do not have to be re-encoded. The EDIT program will
automatically reproduce the parameter name.
Be sure to include a CARD El to identify the control
device/treatment process to which the parameters apply.
To null out a previously entered Parameter Name and Value, enter
the parameter number and enter NA for the parameter name. Here again,
include a CARD El.

SECTION 5
DATA SUBMITTAL
5.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to provide users of the SDDS with
instructions for submitting new data for entry to the SDDS data base and
to describe the quality assurance and quality control activities which
will be performed on all data submitted. Previous sections in this User
Guide have discussed how the sampling data are to be organized and encoded
on the SDDS Data Input Forms. This section will provide the protocol for
transferring the data from the data sheets to a form that can be read by
the computer. Once this step is completed, instructions are given
regarding to whom the data should be sent and what documentation should be
provided. Next, the review cycle by the EADS Technical Support Staff is
described. The function of the EDIT program and LOADER program is
discussed, and the output of each program is described and interpreted.
5.0-1
-------
5.1 DATA INPUT FORM PROCESSING
The SDDS data input forms are designed to be entered into the
computer initially as 80-character records either as computer cards or
card images that can be interpreted by the UNIVAC U-1100 computer. It is
the responsibility of the submittor to ensure that the data are keypunched
and verified. The character set to be used should be compatible with the
IBM 029 set.
Cards should be segregated by Test Series Number (TSN) and should
be packaged in boxes (if they are to be mailed). Data may be submitted on
magnetic tape; however, before attempting to do so, the user should
contact the EADS Program Manager for guidance. The manner in which
computer tapes are formatted and read varies widely; thus, each tape
submittal must be handled differently. The EADS Technical Support Staff
will coordinate information between the user and the National Computer
Center staff to ensure that the user's tape will be compatible with the
UNIVAC U-1100. Magnetic tapes to be mailed should be packaged properly in
specially-designed tape containers for shipment. Such containers are
generally available in most data centers.
When the data input forms have been converted into a
machine-readable format for the computer, the submittor should retain the
data forms for reference until the test series has been loaded into the
data base.
5.1-1
-------
5.2 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES
All data in machine-readable format (usually cards) should be sent
to the EADS Program Manager accompanied by a cover letter that describes
each test series submitted. A sample cover letter is given in
Figure 5-1. The complete address is as follows:
Gary L. Johnson
EADS Program Manager
Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Mail Drop 63
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711
REMINDER; No test series should be submitted until it has been assigned a
unique Test Series Number (TSN) by the EADS Program Manager. As described
in Section 4, the TSN must be encoded in columns 2-6 on each card
submitted. If a permanent TSN has not been assigned, then the encoder
should write or call the EADS Program Manager prior to submitting the data.
Once the data have been received, the encoder will be sent a letter
acknowledging receipt of the data and notifying him that EDIT processing
of the data has commenced. A sample acknowledgement letter is given in
Figure 5-2.
In some cases, EADS users will have the facilities available to
directly submit the test series cards to the National Computer Center.
This is allowed; however, the submittor should contact the EADS Program
Manager for technical guidance prior to doing so.

5.3 REVIEW AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PROCEDURES
The responsibility for determining the validity of the data
submitted lies with the encoder; however, the EADS Technical Staff will
assist the encoder by identifying errors that must be corrected before the
data can be loaded into the data base.
Upon receipt of the card deck (or decks) submitted by the encoder,
the EADS Program Manager's office will load the cards into a card-image
file on the UNI VAC U-1100 computer at Research Triangle Park, NC. The
appropriate EADS Technical Staff persons will be notified that a new test
series has been received and that quality assurance (QA) activities may
begin for that test series.
The EADS QA activities are shown schematically in Figure 5-3. The
test series received will be processed through the EADS EDIT program which
will produce a SERIES Report-format 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 Section 5.4 which follows.
Initially, the EADS Technical Staff will review the EDIT report and will
identify any obvious errors. These errors will be corrected by the
Technical Staff and a new EDIT report will be produced. It should be
noted that by "obvious errors" we are referring to errors such as
encoding, keypunching, or spelling errors, etc. The Technical Staff
cannot and will not attempt to correct any data with respect to accuracy
or validity, or otherwise pass engineering judgement on the submitted
data, etc. Any errors in measurement data or descriptive data must be
identified and corrected by the encoder of the data.
The corrected EDIT report will be mailed to the encoder for his
review. Any changes to the data should be marked legibly on the

printout. Telephone interaction with the EADS Technical Staff to answer
questions, or to clarify data as they are encoded, is encouraged. The
marked EDIT report with the corrections should be returned to the
Technical Staff promptly. The Technical Staff will implement the
recommended changes and will produce another EDIT report. If no errors
are detected, the EDIT report will be returned to the encoder for final
verification. If the encoder is satisfied that the data are correct (and
valid) as submitted, then he should notify the Technical Staff that the
data are ready to load into the data base. If any errors remain after
review by the encoder, the changes should again be marked on the EDIT
report and it should be returned to the Technical Staff. This corrective
action QA cycle will be repeated until the submittor okays the data for
data base entry. No data will be loaded until encoder approval is
obtained.
Once final approval of the data is received from the submittor, the
test series is processed through the LOAD program, which actually loads
the sampling activity results into the SYSTEM 2000Wdata base
management structure described in Section 2. The specific details of the
LOAD program are given in Section 5.4, following.
When the test series has been loaded into the data base, a copy of
the SERIES report (see Section 7) will be sent to the submittor to
acknowledge the event. At this point, the contents of the test series are
available to be compared with any other data contained in the data base;
that is, only now will the test series be available for public access.
5.3-3
-------
5.4 EDIT/LOAD PROGRAMS
5.4.1 EDIT Program
The EADS EDIT program provides three functions on the data being
submitted for entry to the EADS data base. First, it processes and lists
all input cards for a test series, duplicating or filling data fields on
cards as instructed by the Repetitive Data Feature protocol (described in
Section 4). Second, the EDIT program produces a report that is formatted
similarly to the SERIES Report, which allows visual editing to be done in
a format familiar to the user. Third, the program performs values and
range checks on input data fields, such as those fields that require
standard nomenclature, and lists any errors detected. The EDIT program
does not replace actual reviewing of the data by the EADS Technical Staff
or, more importantly, by the submitter of the data.
An example EADS EDIT is given in Figure 5-4. Each page in the
SERIES report format has the form number given in the upper right corner
that identifies the data input form on which the data were encoded. It
should be noted that in the SERIES report format all analytical codes have
been translated into the full description and all chemical ID'S have been
expanded to report both the MEG ID and the CAS Number, the chemical
preferred name and any synonyms, and the chemical formula. The EDIT
report reflects the data as they are encoded, that is, the format follows
the pyramid structure form by form. This means that the chemical data
(Non-Level 1 Organic/Inorganic and Level 1 Organic) at the SAMPLE level in
the data base are sumnarized by COMPONENT. The actual SERIES report
differs from this in that the chemical data are summarized by chemical
species (or Level 1 fraction). The same is true for the radionuclide
5.4-1
-------
data. The EADS user should refer to Section 7 for more details on the
SERIES report.
Following the listing of the input in the SERIES (EDIT) format, a
summary of administrative data is presented on the TEST SERIES. The
submitter is identified as well as the sponsor, contract number, etc. The
principal milestones in the EDIT review cycle are documented.
After the administrative data, all of the input cards are listed
and numbered sequentially as received. This provides an easy reference to
the card images when errors are found. The EADS Technical Staff will
correct any errors in this card image file using the UNIVAC Text Editor,
which allows on-line changes to be made.
Following the listing of the input data cards, the ERROR file is
printed. The ERROR file contains a list of all of the errors detected by
the EDIT program. For each input card on which an error is found, the
card number and entire card text are printed, the error number is given,
the type of error (F = fatal or W = warning) is given, the data base
component number affected is shown, and the error message is listed. The
complete list of error messages is given in Appendix A.I. The format for
the ERROR file data is shown below:
15 F000110100101K001
No. Type Component Message
163 F C1305 Component Name Missing
The user may refer to the Glossary of Data Elements in Appendix A.3
for a complete description of the component number. It should be noted
that the ERROR file will only identify those fields left out or those
having standard nomenclature to which comparisons may be made. As stated
5.4-2
-------
previously, the ERROR file does not replace visual checking of the data by
the Technical Staff or validation of the data by the submitter.
5.4.2 LOAD Program
After the data have been reviewed completely and have been approved
for data base entry, the LOAD program is used to enter the test series
into the data base. Loading of the data base is accomplished by the EADS
Technical Staff. The LOAD program has no specific output like the EDIT
program. Verification of data loading is made by the Technical Staff by
checking the data base. Successful completion of the loading process will
be acknowledged to the submitter of the data by his receipt of the SERIES
report print-out.
The operation of the LOAD program is basically simple. The
expanded EDIT-LOAD file is the input file to the LOAD program. The file
is segmented into blocks of data which represent the principal levels of
the data base structure. Using the Test Series Number, Stream Number,
Sample Number, and Component Number as indices, the data are loaded into
pyramid structure through a mechanism called Procedure
Language Interface (PLI), a major feature of SYSTEM 2000^1 The reader

SECTION 6
DATA RETRIEVAL
6.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to provide users with instructions for
submitting new data for entry to the EADS and for retrieving existing data
from the EADS. In particular, Section 6 discusses direct interactions with
the computer and procedures for those users who do not have direct access
to the EPA National Computer Center (NCC) at Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina.
It is likely that many users of the EADS will have neither the time
nor the inclination to pursue the direct access methods. Since Federal
regulations do not permit the sale of computer services by government data
centers like the NCC, most users will not be authorized to access the NCC
unless they are under EPA contract. For this reason, procedures have been
established which will enable those "off-line" users to retrieve
information by written or telephone request instead.
It should be noted that there is no charge for "off-line" data
retrieval; however, EPA makes no guarantee regarding the completeness of
the data or the promptness of the response. In all likelihood, simple
data requests will be processed quickly, but the staff response will
depend upon their current workload and on the complexity of the request.
Special data requests which require computer program development will take
longer. Requesters will be appraised of any expected delays.
6.0-1
-------
6.1 DATA RETRIEVAL USING THE PROGRAM LIBRARY
The simplest method of retrieving data for an off-line user is to
request a program from the Program Library. Section 7 presents the
programs available which may be utilized to retrieve EADS data in a
specified manner. Each program is described separately and has its own
requirements for data input or qualification by the user.
Programs may be requested by off-line users by telephone or in
writing. The requester should supply all information in accordance with
the requirements of the program and send the completed request to the
following address:
EADS Program Manager
Special Studies Staff (MD-63)
Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711
Users should send separate requests for different runs even if the
same program is being used repeatedly. For example, if a user wishes to
interrogate the data base according to a specific access criteria, any
change to that criteria must be shown in a separate request. Receipt of
the request will be acknowledged to the requester in writing. If there
are any errors in the request or some information is missing, the
requester will be contacted to clarify the problem. When the request has
been processed, the output will be sent to the requester for verification.
6.1-1
-------
6.2 SPECIAL DATA RETRIEVAL REQUESTS
It is recognized at the outset that the Program Library is not
likely to be diverse enough to satisfy all user needs for data. For this
reason, a special data retrieval request category was established. There
is no specific form to be used for special requests; there is merely a set
of general guidelines to follow in preparing the request. These guidelines
are as follows:
1. Be explicit. Be thoroughly familiar with the SDDS data base
structure. Identify each data base element to be sorted and/or
retrieved by name. Should additional work on the request be
required, consultation with the requester will be initiated,
and, upon completion, the printout will be sent to the
requester for verification.
2. Plan the request: Be sure that the access criteria applies to the
proper type of data element. Remember that only key values may be
retrieved directly and that non-key values must be qualified for
data access (see Section 6.3). Specify all needed qualifications
and identify all input data for comparative evaluation.
3. Define the output: Determine how you wish the data to be displayed
on output. Identify how data elements are to be ordered. Specify
column headings. Define any calculations to be performed on the
accessed data.
The completed definition of the request should be sent to the EADS
Program Manager at IERL-RTP. The user should be sure to include his own
telephone number with the request. If there are any problems encountered
with the request, the user will be contacted by telephone to resolve the
problem.
6.2-1
-------
When the request has been received, a letter of acknowledgement
will be sent to the requester. The letter will include a preliminary
estimate of the length of time required to process the request. As
emphasized previously, the length of time needed to process a special
request will depend upon the complexity of the request.
If no problems are encountered that require consultation with the
requester, the results will be sent to the requester when the processing
is completed. The requester should review the output to verify that it
satisfies the request. If it does not, the printout should be returned
with corrections to IERL for reworking. If the printout is satisfactory,
the requester should notify the EADS Program Manager of his acceptance.
6.2-2
-------
6.3 KEY/NON-KEY DATA ELEMENTS
data base may be either KEY or
NON-KEY. This designation determines whether a particular data element
may be accessed directly or must be qualified by including additional
information. KEY elements may be selected directly; NON-KEY elements
require qualification by a KEY element. For example, the data element
GENERIC DEVICE/PROCESS TYPE is KEY and may be used to directly access the
data of interest, such as in the following:
PRINT SDDS TEST SERIES NUMBER WHERE GENERIC DEVICE/PROCESS TYPE EQ
ESP:
If, however, the data element is NON-KEY, as in the case of SERIES
START DATE, then qualification will be required:
IF SERIES START DATE GT 1/1/80 THEN PRINT SDDS TEST SERIES NUMBER
WHERE NAME OF SAMPLING GROUP EQ XYZ LABORATORY:
In this case, the KEY element, NAME OF SAMPLING GROUP, is used to qualify
the request regarding a NON-KEY data element.
Table 6-1 lists the KEY data elements, along with their SYSTEM
component numbers.

6.4 ON-LINE REQUEST PROCEDURES
The phrase "on-line request" implies that the user intends to
establish direct communication with the EADS data base through some type
of terminal-to-computer link. The procedure described in this section may
be used by a qualified user of EPA's NCC to access the EADS directly
through an interactive data communications (demand) terminal or a remote
job entry terminal. The specific qualifications for NCC user access are
discussed in Section 6.5.
On-line users of the EADS are presumed to have a reasonably working
knowledge of UNI VAC 1100 series computers and, in some cases, of
natural language. Special data retrieval procedures (see
Section 7) have been developed to minimize the data processing knowledge
required to use the EADS. Any user unsure of his familiarity with the
UNI VAC or SYSTEM 2000vV is urged to request information through the
off-line procedures described previously in this section.
On-line users is granted READ-ONLY access to the EADS data base.
No updating of data is permitted. New data must be submitted through the
EPA project officer. In the READ-ONLY mode, the user may retrieve, for
sorting and evaluation, any data stored in the system. The user may take
advantage of the wide array of features offered by SYSTEM
data sorting and retrieval.
6.4-1
-------
6.5 NCC USER QUALIFICATIONS AND SERVICES REGISTRATION
Qualified users are defined as those who have valid accounts with
the NCC at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. In most cases, NCC
users are either EPA personnel or contractors who are under EPA contract.
The NCC is not available to public subscribers. Federal regulations
prohibit the marketing of computer time by government data centers which
may be in competition with commercial computer services vendors. Thus, it
is not usually possible for EADS users who are not under EPA contract to
obtain account numbers in order to access the NCC directly. Exceptions to
this may be found with user access through interagency agreements or
grants. The qualifications of a potential NCC user are determined by
EPA's Management Information and Data Systems Division (MIDSD).
Any questions regarding the qualification of a user should be
addressed to:
MIDSD TSSMS Office
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
National Computer Center (MD-34B)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711
or by telephone to 919/541-3629 (FTS: 629-3629).
6.5.1 Registration Procedures
All users of the NCC UNIVAC 1100 must be registered for accounting
and security purposes. Application for NCC services is made by submitting
a completed EPA Form 2800-3 (Figure 6-1) to the appropriate Automated Data
Processing (ADP) coordinator for approval and signature. Each EPA office
or laboratory which uses the NCC or other computing facilities has a
designated person (or persons) who serves as the ADP coordinator. All
procedural matters pertaining to the use of the NCC should be directed to
the ADP coordinator. The MIDSD Time Sharing Services Management System

Office is located at the National Computer Center. Requests for EPA user
account modifications processed through the ADP coordinators to authorize
new accounts or add new users to existing accounts, normally submitted
using the EPA Form 2800-3, should then be forwarded to the following
address:
MIDSD TSSMS Office
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
National Computer Center (MD-34B)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711
In instances where a user organization requires immediate access to
computer facilities, temporary authorization can be achieved by telephone
contact with the TSSMS Office. Requests for temporary authorization
should be directed to 919/541-3629 (FTS: 629-3629). Upon receiving
temporary authorization, a completed Form 2800-3 must be forwarded to the
TSSMS Office. The temporary authorization obtained by telephone is valid
for a 2-week period pending receipt of the Form 2800-3 for processing
permanent authorization. Users must specify an EPA employee as Project
Manager who, in all cases, becomes responsible for the utilization of the
account. Requests for cancellation of specific users authorized under a
given account or changes in user address/telephone numbers will be
processed by telephone using the TSSMS telephone number listed above.
Non-EPA users (e.g., contractors, grantees, etc.) should submit all
required forms to their EPA project officer, who in turn will forward the
information to the ADP coordinator. Account authorizations/modifications
for Interagency Agreement User Accounts (non-EPA users) should be
forwarded for approval to:
W. 6. Allen, Computer Specialist
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
National Computer Center (MD-34)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711
6.5-4
-------
Upon approval of Interagency requests, the TSSMS Office will
complete implementation of the authorization and notify the respective
project manager. Any questions concerning the above should be directed to
the TSSMS Office at 919/541-3641 (FTS: 629-3641). Please note that, in
regard to EPA Form 2800-3, the organization titles and codes and the EPA
DIPS organization titles and codes, and the program element titles and
codes are assigned by the Office of Planning and Programming. The account
number will be assigned to the user by MIDSD and must appear on all
transactions attempted with the NCC UNIVAC 1100.
6.5.2 User ID and Password
The NCC UNIVAC 1100 has a comprehensive, multi-level security system
which is designed to prohibit unauthorized use of the computer. A feature
of this security system is the TSSMS which requires that all users be
identified by a unique USERID and PASSWORD before access to the computer
is granted. The USERID/PASSWORD must appear on all demand and batch job
requests. This will be discussed in detail later in Sections 6.6 and 6.7,
respectively.
The USERID/PASSWORD is assigned to each individual user of the NCC
by MIDSD. Requests for a USERID/PASSWORD should be submitted to the
appropriate ADP coordinator (through the EPA project officer, if
necessary) for approval and signature.

6.6 INTERACTIVE TERMINAL OPERATION
Demand processing or interactive terminal operation, is defined as
a mode of operation in which processing is dependent on manual interface
with the central processor during processing. Basically, it is a
conversational mode of operation requiring a demand and response type of
activity. Conversational operation via a remote terminal causes the
Executive System, a demand processor, or an active program to immediately
react and respond. Demand processing terminals are generally thought of
as being remote from the computer site and as having a printer or a
cathode-ray tube and keyboard. An example of a demand terminal is the
teletype-writer keyboard and printer.
The distinction between batch-mode processing and demand processing
lies in the frequent interaction with the user that occurs during demand
processing. The terminal user is considered to be in conversation with
the Executive System, special demand function, user programs, or the batch
functions of the Executive System on a unit basis.
Tasks executed by the demand terminal user normally have frequent but
short bursts of computation. To process a substantial amount of computation
may require a long period of time. Access to computation is a percentage of
the total computing facility and is scheduled in small increments of time at
frequent intervals to provide immediate responses. This action gives the
appearance of total system control to the user and the impression of being the
only user currently running. The more a user is required to interact with a
demand program the shorter the bursts of computation required to service a
given request. The bursts of computation are time-shared within the Executive
System to provide an apparent immediate response, with the program placed in a
dormant mode during idle periods awaiting response from the user.
6.6-1
-------
While a demand program is in a dormant mode, it may be necessary to
swap the program from main storage. Normally, this transfer happens only
when main storage is full and another program currently on mass storage
has work to do.
The demand has three distinct modes of operation. They are
described below:
Terminal Inactive Mode ~ The initial mode of the terminal
following the sign-on procedure. The terminal will return to
this mode at the completion of the other two modes.
Demand Run Mode This mode is achieved by submitting a ©RUN
control statement (see Section 6.6.1) from the primary input
device; that is, the keyboard. The terminal operator must wait
until the date and time message is displayed at the terminal
before submitting the run stream data. In demand mode, the
input will be solicited when input is desired by the Executive
System. The terminal is returned to the inactive mode by
submitting a @FIN control statement (see Section 6.6.2).
Batch Mode The demand terminal may be switched from demand
mode to batch mode for input or output. The "B" sub-option on
the @RUN control statement (@RUN,/B) will place the terminal in
batch input mode. Input will not be solicited as in demand run
mode. The terminal will be returned to the terminal inactive
mode following a @FIN control statement. Another @RUN control
statement will be accepted while in the remote batch run
whether it contains a 'B1 option or not. Output files
generated by the batch run, as well as those SYM'd (via @SYM)
to the terminal can be displayed at the terminal by entering
6.6-2
-------
the statement, @@SEND. The terminal is returned to the
inactive mode when the output process of the file is complete.
Interactive (or demand) processing with the NCC UNIVAC 1100 is
supported for a variety of low-speed data communications terminals.
Generally speaking, most 30 character/second (CPS) terminals which have
ASCII character sets will be able to access the NCC. The NCC does not
support any terminals which operate at 10 CPS or 15.5 CPS. Also, the NCC
does not support IBM 2741 or similar EBCIDIC code set terminals.
A partial list of terminals supported by the NCC for demand
processing include the following:
Anderson-Jacobson Models 630, 840, 830, and 832
UNIVAC UNI SCOPE 100
UNIVAC DCT 500 or equivalent
Texas Instruments Silent 700 series
Hazel tine (most models)
LA36 DECwriter II
If you are uncertain about the compatability of a particular
terminal with the NCC UNIVAC 1100, you should contact the following:
NCC User Services
919/541-3649
FTS: 629-3649
All UNIVAC supported demand terminals use a common interface (device
routines providing the user interface with unit record peripherals) for
input and output processing. This provides several controls and features
to all demand terminals in a uniform manner. Control of remote symbionts
is regulated by control statements prefixed with a double master space
. These control statements do not require the input solicitation.
6.6-3
-------
They may be entered after an output interrupt (break-key) or any other
time the terminal operator finds the need. The control statements are
given in Table 6-2.
For more details on demand processing, the user should refer to the
National Computer Center User Reference Manual. This manual may be
obtained from NCC User Services at the telephone numbers listed above.
The remainder of this section will address demand processing as it applies
to the EADS.
6.6.1 Initiating a Demand Processing Session
Communications are established with the NCC UNIVAC 1100 through
data communication modems or couplers over voice-grade telephone lines.
Users should follow the steps given in the equipment user manual for their
terminal in order to establish the data link to the computer. A list of
nationwide telephone access numbers for the,NCC is given in Table 6-3.
Once the data link is established, the following sequence of commands
should be entered (for clarity, the information printed by the computer is
shown in capital letters; the input required from the user in small
letters).
Note that the pound sign (#) denotes a carriage return:
Command Description

6.7 REMOTE BATCH TERMINAL OPERATION
Batch processing, whether remote or local submittal, implies that
discrete jobs are submitted to the NCC UNIVAC 1100 from cards or some
similar form. If local, card decks are submitted to the I/O Control Clerk
and then loaded into the computer; if remote, cards are read into the
computer through a high-speed remote job entry (RJE) terminal which has
been connected to the computer via telephone data link.
Remote batch terminal operation with the NCC UNIVAC 1100 is
currently supported under the UNIVAC 1004 and NTR (9000 Remote) terminal
protocols. This means that a variety of commercial RJE terminals which
are capable of emulating (or looking like) a U-1004 or NTR terminal may be
used to access the NCC UNIVAC 1100. A partial list of RJE terminals which
satisfy one or more of these conditions includes the following:
DATA 100 Models 74, 76, and 78
COPE RJE Terminals
Harris RJE Terminals
UNIVAC 1004
UNIVAC 9200 NTR
If you are uncertain regarding the compatibility of a particular
terminal with the NCC UNIVAC 1100, you should contact the following:
NCC User Services
919/541-3649
FTS: 629-3649
All RJE terminals are identified to the NCC UNIVAC 1100 by a unique
SITE ID which is assigned by the MIDSD TSSMS Office at Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina. Figure 6-2 gives an example of the form required
for batch terminal support. The completed form is submitted to the
appropriate ADP coordinator (through the EPA project officer if required)
for approval and signature.

Figure 6-2. Request for Batch Terminal Support Form.
6.7-2
-------
The batch SITE ID is of the form DATAXX and must be transmitted to
the NCC UNIVAC 1100 at sign-on before any processing can be initiated.
6.7.1 Initiating a Remote Batch Processing Sessioji
Communications are established with the NCC UNIVAC 1100 through
data communication modems over voice-grade telephone lines. The NCC
UNIVAC 1100 will support ROE processing only at 4800 bits/second (BPS)
transmission rate. A list of nationwide RJE telephone access numbers for
the NCC is given in Table 6-4.
Batch processing through an ROE terminal essentially means that the
terminal-to-computer data link must be established and the computer card
deck must be read into the computer in a prescribed manner. Since this
procedure varies dramatically among terminal vendors, the user should
refer to his terminal hardware operating manual for the appropriate
procedure. If any problems or questions arise, the user should contact
NCC User Services.
6.7.2 Terminating a Remote Batch Processing Session
The termination of a remote batch processing session depends upon
which UNIVAC RJE terminal is being used (or emulated). The user should
consult his terminal hardware operations manual for the correct procedure.

SECTION 7
PROGRAM LIBRARY
7.0 INTRODUCTION
The usefulness and usability of industrial discharge data which
have been compiled into a computerized information system is 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
.......,, ^ Natural 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 SYSTEM 2000^< The Natural Language commands are limited, however,
especially when there is a need to perform calculations using the data or
when a special formatted report is required. In addition, most EADS users
are not likely to undertake training in 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 that
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 is being developed for
the EADS. The programs described in the following subsections are
7.0-1
-------
applicable to one or more of the waste stream data bases contained 1n the
EADS.
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. Some programs will be applicable to both demand
(interactive) processing and batch processing, and step-by-step
instructions for executing the program in both modes are given when
appropriate. For demand processing, it is assumed that the user has
successfully established communications with the UNIVAC U-1100 computer as
described in Section 6 of this user guide. In like manner, batch users
are assumed to have established communications with the UNIVAC U-1100
through a remote terminal device or have the capability of submitting run
requests locally at the EPA National Computer Center at Research Triangle
Park, NC. All input requirements for each program are listed and a sample
(or representative) output is provided. Any comments pertaining to the
use of the program which may be helpful to the user are also given.
As new user programs are developed and made available to the EADS
user comnunity, this section will be expanded.

7.1 SERIES REPORT
7.1.1 Applicability; FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
7.1.2 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 commentary 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 test 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-spec ific 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 impact!on-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
7.1-1
-------
are given as a function of particle size; that is, as a function of
components of the sampling system.
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.
7.1.3 User Data Required
EADS Data Base Name (FPEIS, LEDS, 6EDS, and/or SDDS)
Valid TSN (or range of TSN's)
7.1.4 Data Qualification Required
None
7.1.5 Limitations/Restrictions
The SERIES Report program user has several printing options
available, including the NCC 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.
7.1.6 Functional Description
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.
7.1.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.SERIES
The SERIES Report program may be accessed through a "demand", or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access through the demand terminal allows the program to be
7.1-2
-------
executed as a batch job. The user should initiate the demand session by
following the procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session is
completed, the demand session may be ended by following the instructions
given in Section 6.6.2.

7.2 CHEMICAL SEARCH PROGRAM (CHEM-SEARCH)
7.2.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
7.2.2 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 Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) Number, its
Multimedia Environmental Goals (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.
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 requires
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.

7.2.3 User Data Required
Valid Chemical ID Code (MEG ID or CAS Number) or Empirical
i
Formula
t EADS Data Base Name (FPEIS, LEDS, GEDS, and/or SDDS)
Range of TSN's (optional)
7.2.4 Data Qualification Required
None
7.2.5 Limitations/Restrictions
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.
7.2.6 Functional Description
Using the user-supplied data on a particular chemical species, the
CHEM-SEARCH program initially checks the EADS Chemical Data Table (CDT) 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.
7.2.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.RUN/CHEM-SEARCH
The CHEM-SEARCH program may be accessed through a. "demand," or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access in demand mode enables the program to be run in
"real time"; that is, the results are returned directly to the user.
7.2-2
-------
The user shall initiate a demand session by following the
procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session is completed, the
session may be ended by following the procedures given in Section 6.6.2.
(In the following computer-generated instructions, the response by
the user is underlined.)

(If no particular data base is named, CHEM- SEARCH will scan all
entries in all four data bases. This is a lengthy sort and it is better
to request each data base separately. When the data base is specified,
the user may restrict the search to only a portion of the data base as
shown. If a range is not requested by the user, the last two queries are
skipped, and the entire data base is scanned.)

At this point, the terminal is returned to the Control Mode; that is, the
program has finished and the user may now enter additional commands.
The CHEM-SEARCH program is very flexible and has a number of
options available to users. This flexibility is best seen through the
sample demand runs given in Section 7.2.9. Use of the "HELP" option is
also shown there.
7.2.8 User Instructions Batch
The CHEM-SEARCH program may also be executed as a batch job on the
UNIVAC U-1100 using punched card input. It is assumed that the user has
card input access to the U-1100 computer either through "across the
counter" submitted at Research Triangle Park, NC, or through a remote
batch terminal.
7.2-5
-------
In order to run the CHEM-SEARCH program in batch mode, the user
should submit the following cards:
<3RUN,R/RS Run ID,Account Number,EADS,5,50/50
(3ASG,A EADS.
0XQT.BHZ EADS.CHEM-SEARCH
. . . parameter cards . . ,
0FIN
There are three types of parameter cards defined for CHEM-SEARCH
and they are used to drive the program. The Type 1 Parameter Card
identifies the chemical to be requested in terms of its MEG ID Number, CAS
Number, or empirical formula. The Type 2 Parameter Card identifies the
data base to be selected and specifies the range of TSN's to be searched.
The Type 3 Parameter Card is the END card which indicates to the program
that the input data have been completed.
The formats for the parameter cards are as follows:
Card Col. 12345678
Type 1: M/AAAAAA
or C/BBBBB-BB-B
or F/DDDDD...
where all data begin in column 1 of the card and:
M identifies the MEG Number AAAAAA;
C identifies the CAS Number BBBBB-BB-B; and
F identifies the Empirical Formula DDDD....
1 2
Type 2: Card Col. 12345678901234567890
DBDBD MINXX-MAXZZ
where DBDBD identifies the data base name beginning in
column 1 (choose FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SDDS),
7.2-6
-------
MINXX is the starting TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a right-justified
integer number in card columns 7-11,
(enter a dash in card column 12)
MAXZZ is the last TSN in the range of TSN's to be specified.
The TSN should be entered as a right-justified integer
number in card columns 13-17.
*Note* If no range of TSN's is requested (that is, if the entire data
base is to be searched), leave card columns 7-17 blank.
Also, if one end of the TSN's range is entered, the other is
required also. A Type 2 parameter card must be included for each data
base requested. The order of the Type 2 cards is not important.
Type 3: Card Col. 123

7.3 SERIES SUWARY INFORMATION PROGRAM (SNAP-SHOT)
7.3.1 Applicability; FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
7.3.2 Abstract
The Series Sunmary Information Program (SNAP-SHOT) is a brief
report which summarizes 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
V*
test series in a brief format that would ordinarily require the obtaining
of a more detailed and lengthy SERIES Report (see Section 7.1).
The formation 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 contain 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.
7.3-1
-------
The SNAP-SHOT program may be qualified by any combination of five
parameters to select several test series, or a specific range of test
series 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.
7.3.3 User Data Required
EADS Data Base Name (FPEIS, LEDS, GEDS, or SODS)
t Valid TSN (or range of TSN's) or
t Source Category, Source Type, Product/Device, Process Type,
and/or Feed Material Category
7.3-2
-------
7.3.4 Data Qualification Required
If the Parameters Option is selected, the user may qualify the
search for particular test series by inputting data for any combination of
the parameters chosen. The acceptable data are combined in the
Terminology Reference Manual in Table A-l and Table A-2. This
qualification is best shown by illustration in sections to follow.
7.3.5 Limitations/Restrictions
The SNAP-SHOT program user has several printing options available
including the NCC 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 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.
7.3.6 Functional Description
Using the EADS waste stream data base name and the TSN(s) (or the
source categorization parameters), the selected test series is (are)
(
retrieved from the data base and the sunmary information is printed.
7.3.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.RUN/SNAP-SHOT
The SNAP-SHOT program may be accessed through a "demand", or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access through the demand terminal allows the program to
be executed as a batch job. The user should initiate the demand session
by following the procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session
is completed, the demand session may be ended by following the
'"/: f
instructions given in Section 6.6.2.

Section 7.3.11.
7.3-5
-------
It should be emphasized that SNAP-SHOT does not actually execute as
a demand (time-sharing) job. The demand routine creates a job stream
which is processed as a batch job by the U-1100.
7.3.8 User Instructions Batch
The SNAP-SHOT program may also be executed as a batch job on the
UNIVAC U-1100 using punched card input. It is assumed that the user has
card input access to the U-1100 computer either through "across the
counter" submitted at Research Triangle Park, NC, or through a remote
batch terminal .
In order to run the SNAP-SHOT program in batch mode, the user
should submit the following cards:
@RUN,R/RS RUN ID, Account N umber ,EADS, 5, 50/50
0ASG.A EADS.
(s>XQT,BHZ EADS. SNAP -SHOT
. . . parameter cards . . .
Three types of parameter cards are used to identify the options
selected and to drive the program. If the user wishes to print the
SNAP-SHOT report for a specific TSN (or range of TSN's), the following
Type 1 parameter card is used:
1 2
Type 1: Card Col. 12345678901234567890
DBDBD MINXX-MAXZZ
where DBDBD identifies the data base name beginning in column 1
(choose FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SDDS),
MINXX is the starting TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a right-justified
integer number in card columns 7-11,
(enter a dash in card column 12)
7.3-6
-------
MAXZZ is the last TSN in the range of TSN's to be specified.
The TSN should be entered as a right-justified integer
number in card columns 13-17.
*Note* If no range of TSN's is requested (that is, if a single test
series is selected), leave card columns 12-17 blank.
If the user wishes to select the Parameters Option, then the Type 2
parameter cards should be used. Any or all of the following cards may be
included in any order:
1234
Type 2 Card Col. 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890

7.4 BIOLOGICAL SEARCH PROGRAM (BIO-SEARCH)
7.4.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
7.4.2 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.
For each data base scanned, the TSN is listed for those test series
in which the bioassay of interest is reported. The program does not
report the results of the biological tests. The selection criteria
requires only that the 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.
7.4.3 User Data Required
Valid Bioassay Test Type or Bioassay Test Name
EADS Data Base Name (FPEIS, LEDS, GEDS, and/or SDDS)
Range of TSN's (optional)
7.4-1
-------
7.4.4 Data Qualification Required
None
7.4.5 Limitations/Restrictions
None
7.4.6 Functional Description
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. If at least one occurrence of the assay 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.
7.4.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.RUN/BIO-SEARCH
The BIO-SEARCH program may be accessed through a "demand", or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access in demand mode enables the program to be run in
"real time"; that is, the results are returned directly to the user.
The user shall initiate a demand session by following the
procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session is completed, the
session may be ended by following the procedures given in Section 6.6.2.
(In the following computer-generated instructions, the response by
the user is underlined.)
>@ADD EADS.RUN/BIO-SEARCH (Enter the file name)
DO YOU NEED INSTRUCTIONS? (Enter YES or NO)
>YES

the user may restrict the search to only a portion of the data base as
shown. If a range is not requested by the user, the last two queries are
skipped, and the entire data base is scanned.)

At this point, the terminal is returned to the Control Mode; that is, the
program has finished and the user may now enter additional commands.
The BIO-SEARCH program is very flexible and has a number of options
available to users. This flexibility is best seen through the sample
demand runs given in Section 7.4.9. Use of the "HELP" option is also
shown there.
7.4.8 User Instructions -- Batch
The BIO-SEARCH program may also be executed as a batch job on the
UNIVAC U-1100 using punched card input. It is assumed that the user has
7.4-4
-------
card input access to the U-1100 computer either through "across the
counter" submitted at Research Triangle Park, NC, or through a remote
batch terminal.
In order to run the BIO-SEARCH program in batch mode, the user
should submit the following cards:

7.5 RADIOLOGICAL SEARCH PROGRAM (RAD-SEARCH)
7.5.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SDDS
7.5.2 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.
7.5.3 User Data Required
Valid Radionuclide Chemical Symbol and Isotope Number
EADS Data Base Name (FPEIS, LEDS, GEDS, and/or SDDS)
t Range of TSN's (optional)
7.5.4 Data Qua!ification Required
None
7.5-1
-------
7.5.5 Limitations/Restrictions
None
7.5.6 Functional Description
Using the user-supplied data on a particular radionuclide species,
the RAD-SEARCH program scans all of the data bases specified to search for
the radionuclide. 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.
7.5.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.RUN/RAD-SEARCH
The RAD-SEARCH program may be accessed through a "demand", or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access in demand mode enables the program to be run in
"real time"; that is, the results are returned directly to the user.
The user shall initiate a demand session by following the
procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session is completed, the
session may be ended by following the procedures given in Section 6.6.2.
(In the following computer-generated instructions, the response by
the user is underlined.)

to request each data base separately. When the data base is specified,
the user may restrict the search to only a portion of the data base as
shown. If a range is not requested, by the user, the last two queries are
skipped, and the entire data base is scanned.)

At this point, the terminal is returned to the Control Mode; that is, the
program has finished and the user may now enter additional commands.
The RAD-SEARCH program is very flexible and this flexibility is
best seen through the sample demand runs given in Section 7.5.9. Use of
the "HELP" option is also shown there.
7.5.8 User Instructions Batch
The RAD-SEARCH program may also be executed as a batch job on the
UNIVAC U-1100 using punched card input. It is assumed that the user has
card input access to the U-1100 computer either through "across the
counter" submitted at Research Triangle Park, NC, or through a remote
batch terminal.
In order to run the RAD-SEARCH program in batch mode, the user
should submit the following cards:
7.5-4
-------
@RUN,R/RS Run ID,Account Number, EADS,5,50/50
@ASG,A EADS.
0XQT,BHZ EADS.RAD-SEARCH
. . . parameter cards . . .
(9FIN
Three types of parameter cards are defined for RAD-SEARCH and they
are used to drive the program. The Type 1 Parameter Card identifies the
radionuclide to be requested in terms of its chemical symbol and isotope
(mass) number. The Type 2 Parameter Card identifies the data base to be
selected and specifies the range of TSN's to be searched. The Type 3
Parameter Card is the END card which indicates to the program that the
input data have been completed.
The formats for the parameter cards are as follows:
Type 1; Card Col. 12345678
XX-NNN
where all data begin in column 1 of the card and:
XX = the chemical symbol, and
NNN = the isotope (mass) number.
1 2
Type 2: Card Col. 12345678901234567890
DBDBD MINXX-MAXZZ
where DBDBD identifies the data base name beginning in column 1
(Choose FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SDDS),
MINXX is the starting TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a
right-justified integer number in card columns 7-11,
(enter a dash in card column 12)
MAXZZ is the last TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a
right-justified integer number in card
columns 13-17.
7.5-5
-------
*Note* If no range of TSN's is requested (that is, if the entire
data base is to be searched), leave card columns 7-17 blank,
Also, if one end of the TSN range is entered, the other is
required also. A Type 2 parameter card must be included
for each data base requested. The order of the Type 2
cards is not important.
Type 3: Card Col. 123
END
This card signifies the end of the data. It should be the
last parameter card included in the card deck.
*Caution* The parameter cards must be entered into the card deck
in the following order:

7.6 CONTROL TECHNOLOGY SEARCH PROGRAM (CONTROL-SEARCH)
7.6.1 Applicability: FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, SODS
7.6.2 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" conmand
is also available to users who encounter problems.
For each data base scanned, the TSN is listed for those test series
in which the control technology of interest is reported. The selection
criteria require only that the control technology generic type or design
type be found once in a given test series. It is recommended that the
user request the SERIES Report for each test series identified in order to
get more information.
7.6.3 User Data Required

Range of TSN's (optional)
7.6.4 Data Qualification Required
None
7.6-1
-------
7.6.5 Limitations/Restrictions
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.
7.6.6 Functional Description
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.
7.6.7 User Instructions Demand File name: EADS.RUN/CONTROL-SEARCH
The CONTROL-SEARCH program may be accessed through a "demand", or
time-sharing, terminal (see Section 6.6), which can access the U-1100
computer. User access in demand mode enables the program to be run in
"real time"; that is, the results are returned directly to the user.
*
The user shall initiate a demand session by following the
procedures outlined in Section 6.6.1. When the session is completed, the
session may be ended by the following the procedures given in
Section 6.6.2.
(In the following computer-generated instructions, the response by
the user is underlined.)

7.6.8 User Instructions -- Batch
The CONTROL-SEARCH program may also be executed as a batch job on
the UNIVAC U-1100 using punched card input. It is assumed that the user
has card input access to the U-1100 computer either through "across the
counter" submitted at Research Triangle Park, NC, or through a remote
batch terminal.
In order to run the CONTROL-SEARCH program in batch mode, the user
should submit the following cards:
SRUN/RS Run ID.Account Number,EADS,5,50/50
@ASG,A EADS.
0XQT.BHZ EADS.CONTROL-SEARCH
. . . parameter cards . . .
SPIN
Three types of parameter cards are defined for CONTROL-SEARCH and
they are used to drive the program. The Type 1 Parameter Card identifies
the control technology to be requested in terms of its generic type or
design type. The Type 2 Parameter Card identifies the data base to be
selected and specifies the range of TSN's to be searched. The Type 3
Parameter Card is the END card which indicates to the program that the
input data have been completed.
The formats for the parameter cards are as follows:
1 2 3
Type 1: Card Col. 123456789012345678901234567890123456
6/AAAAAAAA AA
or D/BBBBBBBBBB BB
where all data begin in column 1 of the card and:
G identifies the Generic Type AAAA ; and
D identifies the Design Type BBBB
1 2
Type 2: Card Col. 12345678901234567890
DBDBD MINXX-MAXZZ
7.6-5
-------
where DBDBD identifies the data base name beginning in column 1
(choose FPEIS, GEDS, LEDS, or SODS),
MINXX is the starting TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a
right-justified integer number in card columns 7-11,
(enter a dash in card column 12)
MAXZZ is the last TSN in the range of TSN's to be
specified. The TSN should be entered as a
right-justified integer number in card columns
13-17.
*Note* If no range of TSN's is requested (that is, if the entire
data base is to be searched), leave card columns 7-17 blank.
Also, if one end of the TSN range is entered, the other is
required also. A Type 2 parameter card must be included
for each data base requested. The order of the Type 2
cards is not important.
Type 3: Card Col. 123
END
This card signifies the end of the data. It should be the
last parameter card included in the card deck.
*Caution* The parameter cards must be entered into the card deck
in the following order:

APPENDIX A.3
GLOSSARY
-------
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, data element
C300 is the NPDES number which occurs only in the Liquid Effluents Data
System.
The table lists the name of the data element (in the order it
appears on the input forms), the data base variable name (as it is defined
in the data base definition), the corresponding component number(s) and
field size or format (from the data base definition), and a description of
the data element. For further clarification on these definitions, refer
to Section 4, the detailed encoding instructions.
In the field size or format, X(20) means an alphanumeric field
20 characters long. The format 9(5) means an integer field, five numbers
long, and 9(3).9(2) represents a decimal number field with three numbers
before the decimal point and two after.
The exponential format requires two data elements, a decimal number
for the mantissa, and an integer number for the exponent. In the
description of the data element, the exponential format is written
nn.nn E + nn.

16. ABSTRACT
The
The report is a user guide to the Solid Discharge Data System (SDDS), a
computerized data base on solid waste discharges from stationary point sources.
SDDS is one of four waste stream data bases which are components of the Environ-
mental Assessment Data Systems (EADS). The EADS concept has been designed to
aid researchers in environmental assessment, emissions characterization, and control
technology development. The SDDS contains data from source sampling which may
include": design and typical operating data on control technology applied to the
solid waste effluent stream; analysis of any fuel or feedstock to the process
producing the effluent stream; results of chemical, physical, radiological, and
biological/ecological tests of solid waste samples; process descriptions of the
sources; and descriptions of the sampling equipment and techniques employed. -The
SDDS protocol is consistent with Level 1 and 2 reporting requirements. The guide
gives detailed procedures for encoding \SDDS data sets, defines procedures for sub-
mitting and retrieving data, and contains standard nomenclature to facilitate data
encoding. It also contains a program library that describes analytical software
available to the user and provides instructions for its use. The report also
discusses procedures which allow its users to access the SDDS directly or through
the EPA project officer.
