NEW BEDFORD PCB DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Introduction
Polychiorinated biphenyl (.PCB) contamination in New Bedford
Harbor first became acknowledged in 1976 when the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency conducted a New England wide PCB
survey.* Further testing by Massachusetts Agencies, Federal
Agencies, research institutions, and others has revealed that the
problem is pervasive and that two industries, Aerovox and Cornell
Dublier, are major sources of the PCB’s.
A recent report prepared by Grant Weaver, of the Massachu-
setts Coastal Zone Management (CZM), t presents a detailed history
and overview of the New Bedford problem. Although direct
discharge of PCB have been greatly reduced In recent years, it is
estimated that the municipal wastewater treatment plant is
discharging 135 to 315 kilograms (Kg) of PCB’s annually. Sediment
concentrations in excess of 100,000 parts per million (ppm) PCB
have been reported in New Bedford Harbor, and in Buzzards Bay
sediments in excess of 50 ppm have been reported. The New Bedford
landfill contains over 227,000 Kg of PCB’s and there is indication
of high blood levels of PCB’s in New Bedford area residents.
In recognition of the extent and complexity of the
documented and potential PCB contamination, Secretary Bewick
of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs
*Weaver, Grant. 1982. PCB Pollution in the New Bedford,
Massachusetts Area: A Status Report. Massachusetts Coastal
Zone Management.

MFIC *ir l FDO
-------
established a New Bedford PCB Task Force in 1981. This Task
Force, chaired by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering, has met monthly to coordinate investigation,
construction, and permitting activities which might relate to
PCB’s. The Task Force has also served as a central point for the
organization and planning of additional studies and abatement
measures.
Recent activities by CZM, Region I EPA, and others have
revealed that there is a large volume of PCB—related data for the
New Bedford area (over 3,000 data points). Much of the data
appears to be poorly organized, sometimes contradictory, and not
centrally sited. Although there is an acknowledged need for more
information, a comprehensive assessment of existing data is a
prerequisite to future decisions regarding development of
solutions. Consequently, EPA addressed these needs by developing
a New Bedford PCB Data Management System.
Overall Scope of Data Management
The EPA Office of Program Support has contracted the
consulting firm of Metcalf & Eddy to conduct the first phase of
the development and implementation of the Data Management System
for all PCB related data from the New Bedford, Massachusetts area.
Additional phases are envisioned to delineate data deficiencies
and develop alternative strategies for PCB clean up. The
advantage of a phased study is that the approach is flexible, with
each phase contingent upon the results of the previous phases.
Consequently the exact need, timing or scope of additional phases
2
ii FDD
-------
is not yet exactly defined, but presented below is a general
description of the objectives of the three phases envisioned at
this time.
Phase 1 . Phase--i is completed with publication of this
report and the September 1, 1982, Data Management System
demonstration seminar. As part of this phase, categories were
established for cataloging the data in the basic Data Management
System. All readily available Information on PCB’s and related
parameters from the New Bedford, Massachusetts area was then
described and entered in terms of these categories. Data reviewed
and cataloged included all PCB species as well as metals or other
taxies collected In conjunction with--any PCB related studies. PCB
related Information from all areas, Including sediments, water
column, biota, air, land, and sewer system was Included.
Also preliminary criteria for evaluating the usability of
individual data sets were developed as part of this phase.
Throughout this first phase, communication was maintained with the
New Bedford PCB Task Force and the member agencies. This
communication Insured that the data assembled and the management
system developed were accessible to the involved state agencies.
Phase 2 . As presently conceived under Phase 2, the data
evaluation criteria will be - refIned and applied to the entire data
base. Following an analysis of the data, additional Information
needed to fully define the--problem and evaluate abatement measures
will be identified. A recommended program to supply this missing
data will then be developed for implementation by other Federal
agencies, State agencies and research institutions. During this
3
MFTC*LF I EDDY
-------
phase, the data file will continue to be expanded with all new
data and will be accessible to concerned parties (through EPA
Office of Program Support) to address specific inquiries or
investigate potential data trends.
Phase 3 . Once the PCB problem has been adequately defined
in Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 will be undertaken to develop and
evaluate potential cleanup and disposal alternatives.
Data Management System — Phase 1
Objective . —The overall objective in the establishment of
the Data Management System is to consolidate the existing data
from all of the agencies and institutions which have conducted PCB
studies and related investigations in the New Bedford, MA area
into one, central, computerized data base. The data would be
described and filed in such a format that it could be easily
accessed; sorted, selected, plotted and evaluated for comparison;
assessed in terms of defining the existing problem and identifying
gaps in the data base; and supplemented by ongoing studies.
General Description . The Data Management System
established by Metcalf & Eddy for the New Bedford PCB data
utilizes the Digital Equipment Corporation computer software
package, DATATRIEVE—li. DATATRIEVE is an all—purpose data storage
and retrieval system which provides direct, easy access to data as
well as Inquiry and report—writing capabilities.
Data is stored In the DATATRIEVE file in Individual data
points, or records, with each record described in any number of
categorical data fields. Data may be numerical, textual, alpha—
numeric, or coded. Manipulative capabilities of the program
14
MFTC Lr
-------
include easy addition of new records, deletion of old ones and
modification of existing data records.
DATATRIEVE’s interactive inquiry language permits the user
to query the system for the purpose of isolating and sorting data
for individual job needs. Some limited statistical capabilities
are also incorporated into the system, including average, total,
maximum and minimum values. In addition, DATATRIEVE records may
be selected and merged with other computer programs, such as a
statistical or graphical package.
Finally, DATATRIEVE’s report writer permits the user to
organize and visually present the data file, or any portion
thereof, in an easy to read, understandable format.
Establishment of Data Fields . Each variable and
descriptive parameter relating to the generation of the PCB data
base was entered into the DATATRIEVE PCB file as an individual
data field. Items of information ihich were too closely
associated to warrant separation, (e.g., units of concentration
and their designation as wet weight or dry weight), were entered
into a single data field. Supplementary descriptive information
which could not be specifically categorized was grouped into one
“co m ents” field. Numerical items were separated to optimize the
selection and sorting capacity of the system.
Generally, the data were sorted into categories for
identification (enumeration); location of sampling; characteriza-
tion of the sample; time of reference; analytical Information and
results; referencing and additional comments.
5
. .r1c .Lr 1 IODY
-------
Each sample recorded in the file was assigned a new sample
accession number (designated “sample number”), with subscripts
indicating replicate analyses of the same sample (e.g., for
different parameters). The original sample number assigned by the
collector was also filed, as were the original station number (or
code) and lab number. The new sample number eliminates
duplication between studies and provides an easy way to select
specific data points. The subscripting allows each analysis to be
entered as individual record, without misconstruing the number of
samples actually collected. The original field and lab numbers
are kept in the flle..to aid in cross—referencing and verifying the
data file.
All sampling locations were assigned coordinates in the
USGS Transverse Mercator 1000 meter grid system. This grid system
was selected because of its metric basis and the fact that it Is
more easily broken into linear distances than are angular
coordinates. Distances may be recorded in increments of ten
meters, where that level of detail is warranted. In addition,
this grid system is the one used on the New Bedford, MA, area base
map developed by MassachusettsCoastal Zone Management. Although
the coordinates are not actually angular, they were assigned the
field names “latitude” and “longitude”.
Data fields characterizing samples collected were
established in three heirarchical levels of detail, “sample
type”, “sample source”, and “exact source”. The sample type
category allows for a general grouping of the data; for example as
sediment, water or lobster samples. The sample source Is an
6
MF1C LF P. FOOr
-------
elaboration of the type, identifying the source of sediment or
water samples, or part of the organism sampled. The exact source
provides more detailed information, Including depth of sediment or
water samples or sex and size of an organism, where the
information is available.
In order to provide a chronological reference and evaluate
the time elapsed between sample.-collection and analysis, the dates
of each were recorded in the data file. In addition, a “tide or
time” field was established for a more detailed reference in
studies where tidal fluctuations can influence the data.
Analytical methods and the parameter analyzed, measured
concentration, and units reported were assigned Individual fields
in the data file. Both the lab performing the analysis and the
agency conducting the study were also Identified. For the latter,
the year the study was conducted was also included to provide
some delineation between different studies conducted by the same
Investigating agency.
Twenty fields were used to describe the existing data.
Should future data collection become sufficiently detailed to
warrant it, or other needs develop, new data fields can be easily
added to the system. For example, a field containing a quality
control evaluation of the data can be added at a later date.
The twenty data fields currently in the system are:

Original Sample Number Tide or Time
Original Station Number Parameter

Original Lab Number Concentration

Filing of the Data Base . Most of the data initially stored
in the Data Management System iere obtained from the Massachusetts
Office of Coastal Zone Management.* Additional reports were
provided by EPA Region I. All data relating to PCB’s in the New
Bedford area were utilized, as well as readily available PCB data
from surrounding areas and analyses. of related parameters
collected in association with the PCB data.
Much of the data were acquired in the form of xeroxed
reports of analytical results, therefore backup documentation was
substantially incomplete. .A great deal of cross—referencing was
required in sorting out the data, matching lab reports to reports
of field collection and summary reports, eliminating duplication,
etc. A majority of the most vital backup documentation was
eventually Identifiable. However, no Information was available on
the sampling and analytical methods employed in any of the
studies. No tide or time data were obtained either, but that
information is only relevant to water studies in the Acushnet
Estuary.

Sampling locations, where they were identified in the
literature, were mostly marked on maps and charts of the area,
with varying degrees of precision. Some station locations were
identified only by geographical reference (e.g. “Butler Flats” or
“off Aerovox”). Sampling stations were assigned grid coordinates
by interpolating them on the USGS quadrangle maps for the area.
Stations outside of the New Bedford area (which were not mapped)
were assigned only general coordinates, since their main purpose
Is to provide background data, For example, all samples from the
Cape Cod Canal were assigned the same coordinates.
In order to expediate verification of the data, units of
concentration were stored . in the data file as they were originally
reported, including a wet weight or dry weight designation where
relevant. The units can be converted at a later date to
facilitate comparision between samples.
In order to minimize computer storage space and data entry;
maintain consistency; and facilitate selection and presentation of
the data filed in the system, most of it was put into abbreviated
or coded form. .Aquatic biota data was coded In the “SAMPLE TYPE”
field with a general Identifier of “AQB”, followed by the first
letter of the generic name and the first two letters of the
species name. For example, the Northern lobster, or Homarus
americanus was coded as AQBHAM. Parameters analyzed were coded
using the numeric system adopted by EPA for Priority Pollutants.
Analytical methods and references were listed separately and
assigned reference code numbers in the file. Definitions of the

Copies of the printouts, listing all of’ the data fields
except grid locations and tide/time, were sent to the respective
labs and agencies in April, 1982. Included with the printouts was
an explanation of the system and codes, identification of informa-
tion missing from that particular file, and a request that the
filed data be verified and the missing information supplied if
available. All of the labs and agencies were also asked to
document the analytical methodology used in generating the data,
and supply any additional data not listed in the file.
By July, 1982, approximately half of the 26 labs and
agencies contacted had responded to the request. Of’ these, eight
sent additional data. Based on these responses, corrections and
additions were made to the data file and analytical methods were
listed, coded and entered into the system.
Data on File . The PCB data base file, as it presently
exists in the Data Management System, contains over 3,000 data
records, representing 750 individual samples. Approximately 1,500
records (half of the data base) are sediment data; L 00 are
shellfish; 300 are lobster; 250 are finfish; 200 are water; 50 are
11
MFTC .Lr R roo
-------
air; and the remainder are miscellaneous types from various waste
and industrial processes.
The data represent the investigating efforts of 30 labs and
agencies, participating since 1973 in nearly 100 different
studies.
Although the present file can be considered complete with
respect to the data base cited, PCB research in the New Bedford,
MA area continues. It should be noted therefore, that the Data
Management System described herein is a dynamic one, subject to
continuous updating, assessment and modification.
Use of the System . The Data Management System containing
the PCB data base can be used to isolate data of any specified
field contents, either singly or in combination. A specific range
In, for instance, latitude or longitude may be selected for study.
Any portion of the specified data can then be printed, sorted,
counted, etc.
The data can be combined and cross—referenced in a number
of ways with user—input queries. For example, one may wish to
plot or summarize in tabular form all of the sediment data
collected in the past 2 years; or all lobster data with PCB
concentrations in the meat greater than 5.0 mg/kg wet weight, and
so on.
It is anticipated that this interactive querying capacity
of the system will prove invaluable In sorting Information In the
data base, so that It can be used for specific purposes, and
identifying where information gaps exist.

Management System is contained in Appendix B. Also attached are

Development of Data Evaluation Criteria
The major objective in establishing Data Evaluation
Criteria with relation to PCB’s in the New Bedford area is to
determine the data’s..usability In defining problems related to the
flux of PCB’s in the environment, and in developing solutions
related to public health concerns. The criteria are developed to
determine the quality of the PCB data (accuracy and precision) as
related to the analytical considerations as well as to the field
collection of the samples. Since there is a great potential for
contamination of the sample during the pretreatment steps of
sample collection, handling, preservation and storage, sample
collection methodology affects the quality and utility of the
resultant data. Application of the Data Evaluation Criteria will
permit a critical review of the data to better define the PCB
problem in the New Bedford Area; determine the areas where
additional data is required; detail the specifics as to how and
where the data should be collected; and to identify and evaluate
cleanup strategies.
The basic approach in the development of a data evaluation
procedure Is to establish criteria against which each data set*
*Data set as used here is defined as the results of analysis of
the same sample type (e.g. air, lobsters, sediment, etc.) by the
same laboratory within a given time period conducted.
13
Mrlc*Lr i roo
-------
can be compared to determine the data’s usefulness in decision
making. The first step is to define the critical areas of sample
analysis and collection.
The critical areas Identified to date are:
Analytical
Ext raction
Clean Up
Analytical Instrumentation and proper operation
Standardization—including spiked samples, replication, and
split samples, and mixtures of compounds
Correction for percent recovery
Date of analytical procedure utilized
Collection
Sample type specificity
Collection methodology
Pretreatment handling including preservation, & cross
contamination avoidance
Replication
Time of collection
The methods used in each of these critical areas, for each
data set, are then scrutinized to determine if they are
acceptable. To the extent feasible, acceptable methods for each
category will be defined in advance. However, In many cases,
particularly with regard to collection, methods used for a
specific data set will have to be reviewed Individually. When
this occurs, the review process will be clearly documented and be
hi
MF1C LF rDov
-------
considered when similar situations arise on other data sets, to
maintain consistency. The results of the data scrutiny will be to
classify the data for each critical area as:
RELIABLE — of proven consistency in producing satisfactory
results, i.e. data that is trustworthy or possessing a reliability
worthy of fullest confidence.
INCOMPLETE — the method used is not defined and reported In
enough detail to judge the adequacy of the method; or the data
reporting Is Incomplete or suspect (such as typographical error or
calculation); so that the data cannot be assessed to determine its
reliability.
UNUSABLE — data possessing collection and/or analytical
deficiencies which preclude their use in making any decisions.
If a data set is deemed acceptable in each analytical area,
it is RELIABLE and a code of R can be attached to each point in
the set as part of the Data Management System. If, however, the
data is acceptable In some areas, incomplete In others, and
unacceptable in still others a decision must be made as to whether
to classify the data as R, I (INCOMPLETE), or U (UNUSABLE). This
decision will be based on the importance, sensitivity, and
vulnerability of the areas involved. Although every effort will
be made to make the decision totally objective, some subjective
judgment will ultimately be required. It is vital, therefore,
that this judgment be made by a reviewer trained and experienced
in that particular area, After this decision is made It will be
reviewed by other experienced personnel where warranted.
15
Mr1c Lr A IOOV
-------
A procedure identical to the one described above would be
followed for each collection area. The designation for Collection
Evaluation would be a lower case r for RELIABLE, I for INCOMPLETE,
etc.
The evaluation of a particular datum would thus result in a
two letter designation code attached to the data report in the
Data Management System. (Upper case representing the Data
Evaluation Criteria based on analytical considerations, and lower
case representing the Data Evaluation Criteria based on the
collection considerations). For example, “Ri” would denote that
the data is based on “reliable” analytical procedures, but is
“incomplete” based on collection documentation.
For data sets coded as.-I or i.every effort will be made to
contact the appropriate agencies or institutions to obtain the
information required to place the data in the R (or r) or U (or u)
classification.
As presently conceived, in Phase 2 of the New Bedford
study, these Data Evaluation Criteria will be further detailed,
re—evaluated and modified as necessary based on their
implementation and utilization. After screening existing data
based on this evaluative procedure, recommendations will be made
regarding all new data to be acquired under separate contracts.
The new data, once collected, will be screened with the same Data
Evaluation Criteria so as.to document the utility and
applicability of the data in making decisions regarding the
mitigation and clean up of PCB’s in the New Bedford area.

In summary, the PCB Data Management System has been
designed to not only efficiently characterize all components of
the PCB data related to New Bedford, MA, but also to be responsive
to user needs in answering inquiries, and aiding in the
development of short term and long term solutions. The
flexibility of entering, updating, and screening the data as well
as the simplicity of providing output In the form of tables and
graphics, make It especially useful In applications related to
problem solving. A demonstratiop of the system will be held
September 1, 1982, at Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., 50 Stanlford Street,
Boston, MA 021114 starting at 1000 hours In Room 200.
The New Bedford, MA PCB Data Management System has been
developed as an interactive, ongoing system. Its overall utility
will be determined by its application. Use of the system is
encouraged for a multiplicity of purposes related to the cost
effective development of solutions In the New Bedford area. For
