Dedication
I am pleased to announce this new, updated 1995 edition of
the Information Systems Inventory. We welcome your comments on
its utility and value, and invite suggestions for improvement.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the
Information Systems Inventory (ISI) for use by its' personnel,
its governmental partners and clients, and the public. As the
Agency's principal source of information about our systems,
the purpose of the ISI is to provide an index and pathfinder
to roughly 270 EPA computer systems, databases, models, modules
and other applications.
A greater awareness of the variety and content of EPA's
information systems can encourage improved, more cost-efficient
data gathering, integration, and sharing among Agency program
managers. This becomes more important in an era of more limited
resources, when we must use our resources more effectively.
In addition, increased public access to our information
strengthens our ability to fulfill our legislatively-mandated
mission. An informed citizenry can more fully participate in
critical environmental decisionmaking and provide the Agency with
comments necessary to improve and better manage our programs.
To ensure that the public can easily access information
about EPA computer systems, selected core data from the ISI are
available for the first time this year through the Government
Information Locator Service (GILS). Key parts of the ISI also
are available on the Internet. As always, the ISI will be
available in hard copy and magnetic disc for personal computer
use through the National Technical Information Service, in
Springfield, VA, and through the Federal Depository Libraries.

EPA INFORMATION SYSTEMS INVENTORY (ISI)
Introduction
Agency's Information Systems Inventory (ISI) contains information on EPA's current
information systems as well as some models and data bases, and is the definitive source
of summary information about EPA systems. The ISI was developed to enhance the
Agency's ability to track major information systems and share information across media
and program boundaries. Information for the ISI was collected through a major mailing
and telephone collection effort to all previously registered system contacts. In addition,
OIRM coordinated this update process with Senior IRM officials and other EPA
headquarters and regional staff to solicit information on new systems developed since the
last Inventory was compiled.
The ISI database is updated and maintained by the Enterprise Information Management
Division of the Office of Information Resources Management, and is available in hardcopy
and automated forms in the EPA Headquarters and Regional libraries and through the
National Technical Information Service (NTIS), For each system in the inventory, the
following information is collected and maintained: system name and acronym, system
level, responsible organization, contact person, legislative authorities, database descriptors,
access information, hardware and software, system abstract, and key words.
Purpose of the ISI
Maintaining an inventory of Agency systems is required by Federal regulations and
oversight agencies. In addition to meeting this requirement, the ISI serves to:
* Increase users' awareness of existing Agency information systems,
• Reduce duplicative information system development and data collection
efforts,
• Improve EPA's oversight of information system development, and
• Provide EPA with the ability to effectively respond to information requests
about Agency information systems.
Organization of the ISI
This volume is a hardcopy version of the complete list of systems contained in the
automated ISI database. The systems are organized by EPA offices and regions, as shown
in the Index on page v.
-------
At the end of this volume, there are three additional indexes to the information. These
indexes include:
• Index A - contains an alphabetized listing of system names and page numbers.
• Index B - contains an alphabetized listing of system acronyms and page
numbers.
• Index C - lists the systems according to system level.
These indexes can help you search through the systems inventory. More powerful searching
capabilities are possible using the electronic version of the inventory, which is available in 3,5"
disk format from NTIS for use on DOS-based personal computers. A PC User's Guide has
been developed for use with this product.
For this printed version of the ISI, each system record contains the following selected
information:
• System: This is the name of the system and the acronym provided by the
system's owners.
• Responsible Organization: This information is taken from the National
Program Manager Code (which identifies the responsible Assistant
Administrator) and the allowance holder code (which usually identifies the
office level organization within an Assistant Administrator/Regional
Administrator).
• Responsible Person: This is the name of the EPA person at the Branch
level or equivalent, within the organization named above, who has
management rather than technical responsibility for the system. If no
name has been listed, the overall office has been identified as being
responsible for the system.
• Hardware/Software: This category describes hardware and software used
to implement the system.
» System Level: This category is based on system use and criticality to the
Agency. There are four selections for this category. They include:
Major Agency System (Level 1) - An information system that is Mission
Critical for Multiple AAships or Regions; or Agency Core Financial
System. Cost is greater than $25 million throughout the systems lifecycle
or $5 Million annually.
-------
Major AAship or Regional System (Level 2) - An information system that
is Mission Critical for 1 AAship or Regional Office. Cost is greater than
$10 million throughout the lifecycle or greater than $1 million annually.
Significant Program Office System (Level 3) - An information system that
is Mission Critical in Program Office. Cost is greater than $2 million
throughout the lifecycle or less than $100,000 annually
Local Office or Individual Use System (Level 4) - An information system
that is below Level 3 Thresholds. Cost is less than $100,000 annually for
one project
Abstract: This is a paragraph that describes and defines the system.
Updates to the ISI
The ISI database is updated annually. OIRM maintains the master database and system
documentation. The current ISI database contains the best available information on EPA
information systems. The dynamic nature of the information, however, means that the ISI
can capture only a static picture of the Agency's collection of information systems at a
given point in time. Questions and updates to the ISI are welcomed and encouraged. If
you are aware of an Agency system, database, or model which should be added to the ISI,
or if you have changes to make to a current system entry, please fill out a copy of the form
with your additions or changes and forward them to:

Additional Copies of the ISI
The automated version of the ISI is available in a microcomputer-based form which lets
you search through the database more rapidly and selectively. The copy can be installed
on any IBM PC-compatible computer, although an IBM AT-level microcomputer or better
is recommended for best performance. The ISI can be placed on local area networks,
running either under Microsoft 'WINDOWS', or using the WordPerfect shell. A diskette
copy of the ISI database and search programs can be obtained by EPA staff by submitting
a request to the office at the address shown above. Contractors and other partiesjnterested
in obtaining a copy of the ISI database and software may contact the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161, to purchase

The UAM is a three-dimensional photochemical grid model designed to
calculate the concentrations of both inert and chemically reactive
pollutants by simulating the physical and chemical processes in the
atmosphere that affect pollutant concentrations. The basis for the
UAM is the atmospheric diffusion or species continuity equation.
This equation represents a mass balance in which all of the
relevant emissions, transport, diffusion, chemical reactions, and
removal processes are expressed in mathematical terms. The model
is usually applied to an 8- to 72-hour period during which adverse
meteorological conditions result in elevated pollutant concentrations
of the chemical species of interest.

PAIR is a collection of information from manufacturers, importers,
and processors on production, uses, exposure levels, and waste
treatment/release qualities. Worker exposure is reported based
on kilograms of subject chemical manufactured or imported, the
number of workers and worker-hours spent in various categories of
use activity: manufacture, use (reactant and non-reactant), and
preparation. The manufacturer also reports on qualities and
process categories for customers of the product. Approximately 900
chemicals (including 23 categories) and three categories of un-
specified chemicals are currently subject to the PAIR reporting
rule. The list of chemicals is frequently amended, after review
of substances by the Interagency Testing Committee, and others.

The WHPA model consist of four different particle-tracking modules:

capture zones around pumping wells or contaminant fronts around in-
jection wells for multiple pumping/injection wells in homogeneous
aquifers of infinite areal extent with steady and uniform ambient
ground-water flow. MWCAP is similar to RESSQC but can incorporate
stream or barrier boundary conditions for semi-infinite aquifers.
GPTRAC is similar to RESSQC/MWCAP but can accommodate a wider range
of aquifer and boundary conditions. GPTRAC"s numerical option
performs particle tracking using a head field obtained from a
numerical ground-water flow code. MONTEC performs uncertainty
analysis for a single well in confined/leaky confined aquifers.

The flow and transport of multiple fluid phases, such as water,
hydrocarbons, and air, are common conditions in soils and aquifers
at contaminated sites. MOFAT has the flexibility to handle the
conditions expected in a field scenario. For example, the flow of a
gas phase can be modeled directly, and its impact on volatilization
can be accessed. Likewise nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) flow and
transport can be evaluated from a leaking underground storage tank
or accidental spill. The flow module can be used to evaluate two-
phase flow of water and NAPL in a system of constant gas pressure
or explicit three-phase flow of water, NAPL, and gas at variable
pressures. The transport module can incorporate five partition
components that simulate the redistribution of a contaminant.

defined by the user, VLEACH simulates three separate processes that
include the download migration of the contaminant in the liquid

fish)) of nonionic, nonmetabolized, organic chemicals that are
bioaccumulated from either: (a) water only - which is the pre-
dominant route of exchange during acute exposures, or (b) water and
food jointly - which is more characteristic of chronic exposures.
FGETS also calculates the time to reach the chemicals lethal
activity by assuming that the chemical elicits its pharmacological
response through a narcotic mode of action. FGETS is parameterized
for a particular fish species by means of two morphological/
physiological databases that delineate the fish's gill morphometry,

concentration of each species according to mass action expressions
written hi terms of component activities. The total mass of each
component is then calculated from the concentrations of every
species containing that component. The calculated total mass is
then compared with the known input total mass for each component.

soil hydraulic properties on the movement of water and chemicals
in the unsaturated zone. Water movement and chemical transport are
modeled using the Richards and the convection-dispersion equations,
respectively. The equations are solved numerically using finite
differences. The model can simulate both drainage and drying of a
soil. General assumptions in the model include homogeneous soil
properties, negligible hysteresis in the wetting and drying process
with chemical partitioning being instantaneous and reversible. The
model requires input parameters defining the water system, the
chemical character, and the soil conditions.

The vertical transport of dissolved pollutants through the vadose
zone is simulated in PESTAN as a slug of contaminated water that
migrates into a homogeneous soil. The concentration of the slug
equals the solubility of the pollutant in water. The pollutant
begins to eater Hie soil at the first precipitation/irrigation
event at a rate equal to the pore water velocity. PESTAN assumes
steady flow conditions through the soil domain according to the
relationship developed by Campbell (1974), which relates water con-
tent of the soil to hydraulic conductivity. PESTAN is a one
dimensional, unsaturated flow and transport model that is based on
a closed-form analytical solution of the adveetive-dispersive-
reactive equation.

RITZ is a useful tool for predicting fate and transport
potentials of hazardous organic constituents contained in
contaminated soils. It is a one dimensional, unsaturated flow and
transport model. The model provides an estimate of the amount of
each organic constituent which will be volatilized, transformed,
leached, and retained in a defined zone of the soil. One of the
principal features of RITZ is its ability to account for effects of
the presence of oil in the waste-soil matrix. The mode describes
the subject site as consisting of two zones: the plow zone where
the contaminated material is applied; and the transport zone where
the contaminant is transported and transformed.

QUAL2E permits simulation of several water quality constituents in
a branching stream system using a finite difference solution to the
one-dimensional advective-dispersive mass transport and reaction
equation. The conceptual representation of a stream used in
the QUAL2E formulation is a stream reach that has been divided into
a number of subreaches or computational elements equivalent to
finite difference elements. For each computational element, a hydro-
logic balance in terms of flow (Q), a heat balance in terms of
• temperature (T), and a materials balance in terms of concentration
is written. Both advective and dispersive transport are considered
in the materials balance. This software product can be used to
study the impact of waste loads on instream water quality.

The Streamwalk program is a public outreach system designed to
compile observational data from volunteers in the field about
stream conditions for streams they adopt. The database is designed
to be used by volunteers with or without PC's. Streamwalk
observational data is transferred to a central system at the
region for compilation of data. The Streamwalk program uses the
Marplot program from CAMEO for automatic calculation of LAT/LONG
data. Volunteers with PC'S are given both the database and a
MARPLOT map of their region so that calculation of LAT/LONG
locations along a stream are not a problem. This program will
be enhanced to include lake, and wetlands in FY96.
