PREFACE
The National Estuarine Inventory,being conducted as part of the
National Estuarine Pollution Study,is a compilation of the avail-
able information on the coastal zones of the United States.
This inventory includes a broad spectrum of information ranging
from the economic and ecological values of each estuarine system
through the impact of man's use on each system to the needs for
waste treatment to enhance water quality.
The Handbook of Descriptors presented here is the skeleton around
which the information of the Inventory is organized. The Handbook
consists of a set of tables showing the organization of the informa-
tion together with descriptive material and information on precisely
what data are presented in each table.

INTRODUCTION
As part of the National Estuarine Pollution Study it is essential
to describe the national estuarine system in terms of those para-
meters which are necessary to: identify quantitatively the present
and potential uses of the estuarine resource; identify the present
extent of pollution damage to beneficial uses of estuarine zones;
and make possible quantitative summaries and comparisons among the
individual estuarine components of the national system.
The following factors have guided the selection of descriptors:
1. The descriptors used should be absolute. The values
of the descriptors from which ratios and percentages
are formed are tabulated. Ratios and percentages are
not entered. For example, instead of entering the per-
cent of area in oyster-producing grounds, the total
area and the area of the oystering grounds are entered.
This approach permits flexibility in manipulating the
information in the inventory.
2. The descriptors used should be conventional. They
should be those which would be reported normally if
information of a specific type has been collected on a
particular system. For example, for systems in which
ports are established,the total number of ships using
-------
-2-
the port per year and the total number of tons loaded
and unloaded should be readily available; if a sanitary
water quality survey has been made, information on D.O.,
B.O.D., and waste discharge volumes and strengths would
be expected. Such an approach permits ready assimilation
of the available information into the inventory.
3. The descriptors must each describe some property of the
estuarine zone which is related to water pollution and/or
resource value. The information included must be broad
enough to provide a thorough description of the national
estuarine system as a water pollution problem and as a
natural resource.
4. The descriptors generally must be numbers or indices capable
of summarization in tables or figures. The total amount of
information to be obtained, stored, and used will be so
large that automatic data processing techniques will have
to be used. It is necessary that all descriptors be amen-
able to this type of operation.
5. This inventory should provide a foundation for a continuing
national estuarine inventory. The format in which the des-
criptors are stored must be flexible enough to permit addi-
tions and modifcations without major reworking of the system.

GUIDE FOR
DATA COLLECTION AND TABULATION
General
Estuarine Classification System
To form a basis for assembling and organizing information on the
estuaries and estuarine zones of the United States, the entire
coastal area of the Nation has been divided into Estuarine Register
Areas (ERA).
The object of this division has been to separate the coastal area
into units within which the available information may be organized inde-
pendently of other areas. The choice of boundaries for each system
was based on consideration of the water pollution and resource man-
agement aspects of the systems involved and does not necessarily
reflect a scientific or engineering classification of estuarine systems.
Each coastal system tributary to an ocean or sea is designated a pri-
mary system. Estuaries tributary to a primary system are designated
as secondary systems; estuaries tributary to secondary^ systems are
tertiary systems; etc. This identification scheme includes all coastal
waters of the United States from the oceans to the limit of tidal
effect.
Use 4 or 5-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to
identify types of industries where pertinent.
-------

References
A reference number is assigned to each report examined for this
study. No attempt is made to arrange references in any particular
fashion (i.e., alphabetically or chronologically); numbers are
assigned as each reference is used.
For numbering purposes, to avoid confusion among regions, this
system is used:
RNE-1 (Reference, Northeast, Number 1)
RH-1 (Reference, Headquarters, Number 1}
RBOR-1 (Reference, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation,
Number 1)
The R designation is necessary to avoid confusion with the Estua-
rine Register Area (ERA) identification system.
The last page of this handbook provides space for briefly describing
the references used.
Dates of Information Used
Much of the data included in this compilation is contained in statis-
tical summaries published by Federal agencies or private organizations,
Where such summaries are available, the statistics for each year
since 1950 will be included as a separate tabulation.
-------
-5-
Data published as summaries for periods greater than one year should
be included for the years since 1950.
All other data indicated should be included for whatever years are
available.
Supplemental Information
Provide a map or other identification, where needed, of the ERA
showing the key sampling stations, waste outfalls which have an iden-
tifiable affect on the environment, and major circulation modifying
structures.
Special Symbols
Every blank should be filled in. To avoid confusion with the use of
zero, use the following symbols:
0 = Value is zero;
X = Data should be available but has not been located;
Y = No information is available;
-2-= Information is included elsewhere. For example, fishing
statistics for a subsystem may be included in available
statistics for the primary system.
Instructions for Completion of Tables
If necessary, additional information or comments may be included on
the reverse of the page to which it pertains. For example, if addi-
tions to page 14, items 1.4. and 1.5. were given, the following would
be shown:
(1) At the bottom of page 14, the notation "continued";
(2) On the reverse of page 14,
Item 1.4._
Item 1.5.
This information may be legibly handwritten rather than typed.

INSTRUCTIONS AND TABLES
1.1. Name
Identify each system by name. The most common name in local use
should be used; if there is none in use, a name descriptive of
the Estuarine Register Area (ERA) should be chosen. If several
names are used locally, use the most common as the preferred name,
and list others after it in parentheses.
1.2. Number
Use ERA number.
1.3. Location of Entrance to the Receiving System
The coordinates required are those of the arbitrary boundaries of
the ERA. In Figures I and II, the geographical coordinates of the
points A and B are the data required. In Figure II, for H-l-2, the
coordinates of points C and D are the data required; for H-l-2-2,
J and K are the appropriate points.
All measurements of shoreline length begin and end at these points.
1.4. Receiving Systems
Give the names of the receiving systems in order. In Figure II,
if u-i-2-2 is the ERA being tabulated, list the names of H-l-2, H-l,
and Ocean in order.

2.1. Straight Line Distance
This is the straight line distance between the ERA boundary points
shown in 1.3. On Figure II, for H-l, the primary estuary, this
distance is that from A to B; for H-l-2-3, this distance is that
from L to P; for H-l-2, this distance is that from C to D. In each
case the distance can be calculated from the latitudes and longitudes
of the respective points.
2.2. Tidal Shoreline Length
This is the shoreline length at WW from one entrance location to
the other entrace location, omitting lengths within subsystems.
On Figure II, the tidal shoreline length of H-l is the sum of the
distances A to E; F to C; D to B. For H-l-2 the tidal shoreline
length is the sum of D to S; R to P; 0 to M; L to K; J to H; and
6 to C. For H-l-2-3 the tidal shoreline length is the sum of
0 to M via N; P to W; and V to L. For H-l-2-4 the tidal shoreline
length is the sum of T to S and R to U.
2.3. Number of Entrances
This is the total number of water connections at MHW between this
ERA and the one to which it is tributary. On Figure II, for H-l,
there is one entrance; for H-l-2-3, there are two entrances.
2.4. Total Water Length Across Entrances
This is the total water distance at the entrances at MHW. On Fig-
ure II, this distance is the sum of the lengths C to D and E to F ;
for H-l, and the sum of 0 to Pand L to M for H-l-2-3.
-------

2.5. Controlling Depth for Navigation at Entrance
This Is the maintained channel depth in those cases where a dredged
channel exists, or the sill depth where no channel is dredged for
navigational approach to the ERA. Where more than one entrance exists,
the controlling depth of the deepest channel should be given.
2.6. Number of Subsystems
This is the total number of subsystems tributary to the ERA being
tabulated. On Figure II, H-l has a total of 9 subsystems, 8 of which
are ERA s; for example, H-l-2-2 has no subsystems.
2.7. Number of Islands
Count the total number of islands in the ERA, excluding those in
subsystems which will be tabulated separately. Where an island forms
part of the boundary between ERA s, either (1) assign it to the
lower order ERA, or (2) if the ERA s are of the same order, assign
it to the one on which its uses have the greater impact. In Figure II,
the island is assigned to H-l-2.
2.8. Total Area of Islands
Include total area of all islands and island groups in the ERA, exclu-
ding those in subsystems. Marsh areas not part of an island should be
excluded under this heading.
-------
-17-
2.9. Total Water and Marsh Area
This is the water area defined similarly to the Tidal Shoreline (2.2.);
i.e., subsystem areas are excluded.
For ERAs opening into the ocean, assume their seaward extent to be
the next fathom contour deeper than the controlling depth for navi-
gation, as defined in Section 2.5. For example, if the value for Sec-
tion 2.5. is 35 feet, the seaward extent of the ERA is at the 6-fathom
contour.
2.10. Maximum Length and Width
These are approximations estimated from the overall appearance of the
ERA. On Figure II, H-l-2 is described by the lengths of the two lines
intersecting at X.
2.11. Artificial Circulation Modifying Structures Urthin the Estuary
The purpose of this series of descriptors is to gain an idea of how
much the circulation of a system may have been changed by artificial
structures. In deciding whether to include or exclude specific items,
judgments must be made as to whether they are large enough to have an
effect on circulation.
If the structures listed in 2.11.1,were completed after 1949, include
the year of completion. If they were completed in 1949 or earlier,
state only OLD in the table.
-------
-18-
In those cases where a crossing is composed partially of a
causeway and partially of piers, include the approximate lengths
of each, where possible.
Total Buoyed Channels includes all channels in which buoys are
maintained for navigation channels, including those which require
dredging.
Dredged Channels includes the channel segments maintained by dredging.
In Table 2.11.2, include dates only for those areas in which (1) fil-
ling was completed after 1949, or (2) areas have been set aside for
filling since 1P49. For fills having completion dates earlier than
1950, state only OLD in the table. For example, if a spoil area of
marshes on the shore was authorized for use in 1925 and was completely
filled by 1954, the first three columns in the table would read 12,
OLD, 1954.
2.1?. Uncontrolled Changes

4.1. Flow of Rivers
Describe only the hydrology of those rivers and streams entering the
ERA directly. Do not include any entering through a subsystem. On
Figure II,only the stream I is included in the tabulation for H-l-2;
the single streams entering through the subsystems H-l-2-2 and H-l-2-1-1,
for example, are listed in the tabulations for H-l-2-2 and H-l-2-1-1,
respectively.
4.2. Major Flow Regulation Structures
This tabulation is to determine whether the discharge of inflowing
streams is regulated, and, if so, how much control is exerted.
There is no need to list all the flow-regulation structures on a
river. The degree of regulation will be apparent from the information
in Table 4.1. For each river entering the ERA, information of these
types can be listed by number.
Type of Structure: 1. High Dams, 2. Locks and Dams, 3. Low Dams,
4. Pumped Storage. Show numbers of all types present.
Purpose of Regulation
1. Water Supply, 2. Low Flow Augmentation, 3. Flood Control,

5.1. Stage of Development - County Statistics
List values for each county contiguous to the ERA. (There will be dup-

single county.) Include cities not in counties. For example, Balti-
more City is governmentally separate from Baltimore County.
5.2. Urban Population :
(a) are those communities which are actually on the shoreline of
the ERA;
(b) are those communities which are not on the shoreline but which
discharge wastes to the ERA. (Do not include those communities
which discharge to a subsystem. They will be included in the
description of the subsystem.);
(c) are small communities, surburban areas, etc., which are not
included as municipalities.
The object here is to obtain an idea of how heavily built up an estu-
ary is, not how much waste goes into it.

Tidal prism at the entrance is the difference in volume of the system
between MHW and MLW (or MHHW and MLLW).
Estimated flows through the entrance are intended to provide estimates
of gross and net circulation through the system. Values included in
this table should be based on actual data taken in the prototype; they
should not be estimates based on estimates of river inflow and volume
of the system. These values should each be averages over at least one
complete tidal cycle.

7. Water Quality
A single page table is included for each water quality parameter.
Those parameters of particular interest are Temperature, Salinity,
(or Conductivity or Chlorides), Dissolved Oxygen, B.O.D., Coliform
bacteria (including Fecal), Suspended Solids, Phosphorus, Nitrogen,
Chlorophyll, pH, and Turbidity. Any other parameters which are of
significance for a particular ERA should be included. For example,
"Remarks" may include floating debris, offensive odor, or color.
Data at key sampling stations should be included. Selection of these
stations is a matter for individual judgment, and the number included
for each ERA will vary with the size and complexity of the ERA ( and
with the number of locations sampled). Suggested key stations are:
a. Entrance to lower order system: On Figure II, for H-l-2, a
station at the Section CD would be appropriate; for H-l-2-2 a
station at Section JK would be appropriate.
b. Near major waste outfalls: On Figure II, a station near outfall
Z would be a key station for H-l-2; a station near outfall Y
would be a key station for H-l-2-1.
c. Along a major axis of the ERA: If the ERA has an identifiable
axis (such as H-l-2), several stations along this axis can be
selected as key stations.
All locations should be expressed in terms of latitude and longi-
tude to a tenth of a minute when available.

10. Sources of Pollution
10.1. River Inflow
Give appropriate data for each river or stream not entering through
a subsystem. If possible, give a year-round set of data, and bimonthly
means if the data base is adequate.
10.2. Municipal and Domestic Wastes
The summary table should include all sources of municipal and
domestic wastes discharged directly to the ERA (not into a subsystem),
and obviously must include rough estimates of the minor discharges.
On Figure I, for H-l-2, the summary table will include outfall Z;
but will not include outfall Y.
10.2b.Data Table for Major Waste Discharges
Each major waste discharge should be reported individually on the
data table. Judgment must be exercised as to which waste sources
should be reported individually; the reported dischargers should
account for over 90 per cent of the waste load entering an ERA.
10.3. Industrial Wastes
The same general comments in 10.2 also apply here. Special types
of waste treatment should be identified separately. These tabulations
should include process wastes only, vf cooling water discharges can
be tabulated separately. Otherwise all plant wastes are included
here.
-------
-53-
10.4 Agricultural Land Drainage
Include Agricultural Land Drainage (ALD) from contiguous counties
only. That from upstream areas will appear in the River Inflow.
(10.1)
10.5 Thermal Loads
The major heated effluents from power plants and industrial operations
discharging directly to the ERA should be tabulated, not those entering
through subsystems.
10.7 Recreational Facilities
10.8 Special Problems
Any special waste discharge problems should be identified and estimates
of the magnitude of the problem included where possible. For example,
this may include heavily used beaches with no sanitary facilities.

11. Use Damages
It is likely that studies and estimates of damages to use will not
be broken down to the smallest subsystem included in this inventory.
In such cases* include the estimates at the smallest subsystem for
which they are valid, and include in the tabulation for damaged sub-
systems the notation that damages within this ERA are included in the
lower order system. For example, on Figure I suppose that damages
to shellfisheries in H-l-2 have been estimated at $1,000,000 annually,
due to pollution originating at outfalls Y and Z. The sum of
$1,000,000 is reported as damages in H-l-2; and in the tabulation for
H-l-2-1 there appears only a "-2-", denoting that the information is
included elsewhere. Note, however, that if the shellfishery in
H-l-2-3 is not damaged, the damages for H-l-2-3 should be included
as zero, even if the damages in other subsystems cannot be identified.

Under the Use Areas show the number of separate areas reserved
for each use within each ERA. This heading does not mean the total
acreage involved, only the number of individual pieces.
