1. INTRODUCTION
Under the direction of EPA, SAIC conducted the 1988 Sewage Sludge Use and
Disposal Questionnaire Survey. The main objective of the survey was to collect
data on sewage sludge generation and disposal practices to support the
development of regulatory standards for the disposal for sewage sludge. SAIC's
major responsibilities included developing the sample design and survey
methodology, implementing the survey, and compiling and delivering the final
database. The purpose of this report is to document for EPA the activities
undertaken and employed to carry out the survey. Section 1 provides a background
to the survey and Section 2 describes the survey methodology. Sections 3 through
7 details the implementation procedures including the pre-mail out activities,
mail-out and receipt procedures, database design and development, finalization
of the database, and quality assurance activities undertaken throughout the
survey. Section 8 provides a discussion of potential sources of nonsampling
error while Section 9 evaluates the survey assumptions upon which the survey
methodology was originally designed.
1.1 Regulatory Background
Section 405(d) of the CWA of 1977, as amended by the Water Quality Act of
1987, requires that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulate the use
and disposal of sewage sludge to prevent adverse effects to human health and the
environment. In response, the Agency is developing a regulation which addresses
five use and disposal practices, any combination of which potentially may be used
for the disposal of sewage sludge. The five use and disposal practices are:
Land Application;
Distribution and Marketing;
Monofill;
Incineration; and
Ocean Disposal.
1-1
-------
The technical regulation being developed is comprised of maximum pollutant limits
and management practices for each of the use and disposal practices. If the
concentration of a pollutant in a sewage sludge exceeds the respective limit for
a given use or disposal practice, then the particular sewage sludge cannot be
used or disposed of via that practice. EPA is developing the limits for a set
of pollutants based on an assessment of the health and environmental risks of
use or disposal.
1.2 Need for the 1988 National Sewage Sludge Use and Disposal Survey-
In developing the pollutant limitations, the Agency requires information
about pollutant concentrations currently found in sewage sludge as it is
generated and disposed via the various disposal practices. Without data from
a national sample of POTWs, estimates of the impacts and risks associated with
sewage sludge use and disposal practices are incomplete. In the absence of this
information, basic and critical questions cannot adequately be addressed, much
less answered. Examples of these questions are:
What are the risks of current sewage sludge disposal practices?
How many POTWs will have to change their use and disposal practices?
What alternative practices do these POTWs have available?
What are the costs of the alternative practices?
To fill in the existing data gaps, the Agency decided to undertake a data
collection effort which resulted in the 1988 National Sewage Sludge Use and
Disposal Survey (NSSS). As stated in the February 6, 1989 proposed standards
for the disposal for sewage sludge, EPA is conducting the National Sewage Sludge
Survey (NSSS) to "provide a current and a reliable data base that will be used
to set pollutant limits for a limited number of practices, to better assess the
proposed risks of sewage sludge disposal practices, and to evaluate the impact
of the rule." In the proposed rule, the NSSS data base is deemed "necessary
1-2
-------
for a number of essential analyses required before the promulgation of the final
regulation." ^
1.3 Overview of Survey
The NSSS consists of two national probability-based sample surveys of
publicly owned treatment works (POTW):
A questionnaire survey of 479 POTW facilities;
An analytical survey of 208 POTW facilities (a subset of the 479)
in which samples of sewage sludge were to be collected by an EPA
agent for analyses.
All surveyed POTWs utilized at least secondary wastewater treatment procedures.
A fifty page questionnaire was mailed to facilities in the questionnaire
survey sample. This questionnaire was divided into seven sections. It was
structured so that respondents provided general information regarding POTW
demographics and daily operations. Each facility was then required to complete
questions specific to the sludge disposal practice(s) that it employed to dispose
of its sewage sludge. A copy of the questionnaire is displayed in Appendix A.
For the analytical survey, sludge samples were drawn by an EPA agent
(contractor) at the end of the waste treatment stream just prior to disposal.
Approximately four hundred chemical analyses were then run on each sample by EPA
contracted laboratories.
The survey respondents for the questionnaire survey and the participants
for the analytical survey are individual POTWs. Each survey component has its
own probability sample. However, the two probability samples are related in that
a POTW included in the analytical survey was also included in the questionnaire
survey. This document addresses the methodology used to implement the

Rules. p. 11

questionnaire survey. Because of the relationship between the two surveys,
information concerning the analytical survey is included when appropriate.

2. SURVEY DESIGN
SAIC was responsible for the sample design of the survey and development
and implementation of the data collection procedures. The questionnaire design
was undertaken by another EPA contractor. This section will discuss the sample
design, including the definition of the target population, sample frame
development, and the sample selection. This section will also present an
overview of the data collection plan presented to EPA and the implementation will
be discussed in Sections 3 through 7.
2.1 Target Population
The target population of the NSSS is POTWs which have at least secondary
wastewater treatment. There are three major reasons for this definition of the
target population. First, secondary treatment is the basic required level of
treatment for sewage wastewaters, and the vast majority of the nations's sewage
sludge is generated by POTWs having at least secondary treatment. Second, sewage
sludge generated by POTW's having less than secondary treatment will have fewer
contaminants than sewage sludge generated by at least secondary POTWs. Third,
producing reliable national data on sewage sludges produced by POTWs having less
than secondary treatment would substantially increase the cost of the survey.
2.2 Sample Frame Development
The 1986 Needs Survey conducted by the EPA Office of Municipal Pollution
Control served as the sampling frame for the National Sewage Sludge Survey. This
survey is a census of all POTW facilities and contains basic data on treatment
systems, flow rates, and disposal practices. There are 15,305 active POTWs
within the Needs database. Of these 15,305 POTWS, 3898 facilities do not meet
the operational definition of secondary treatment (i.e, no discharge, raw
discharge, or advanced primary) and therefore are excluded from the target
population of the survey. The exclusion of nearly 4000 facilities results in
11,407 POTWs in the sampling frame of the survey. These 11,407 POTWS meet the
2-1
-------
operational definition of the survey in that they are secondary, advance
treatment I and advanced treatment II wastewater treatment facilities. These
11,407 facilities span the 50 states and U.S. possessions.
2.3 Sample Design
The questionnaire survey was designed as a stratified random sample of 479
facilities from the target population of 11,407 secondary treatment POTWs. Joint
stratification across four wastewater flow rate groups and six sewage sludge use
and disposal practices, as identified by the 1986 Needs survey, resulted in
twenty-four strata. The flow rate and use and disposal strata were selected to
insure that sufficient data will be available to analyze survey results
separately by flow rate group and use and disposal practices. Flow rate group
and use and disposal practices were defined as follows:
POTW flow rate group:
1
more than 100 MGD
2
10 to less than 100 MGD
3
1 to less than 10 MGD
4
less than 1 MGD
POTW sewage sludge use and disposal practice group
1: land application
2: distribution and marketing
3
incineration
4: monofill (sewage sludge only landfill)
5: landfill and other (Other being use and disposal
practices not classified in the above items.)
6: ocean disposal
2-2
-------
An initial sample size of 434 was estimated for the questionnaire survey. This
sample size was derived to minimize the maximum coefficient of variation for
estimation of an aggregate proportion for all flow rate groups and all use and
disposal groups. Two adjustments were made to this theoretical sample size.
First, 23 facilities were required for the highest flow group. The target
population contained only 28 such facilities. As these facilities generate large
volumes of sludge, all were included in the questionnaire survey. The remaining
strata were increased by 11% to compensate for an anticipated 10% nonresponse
rate.
The analytical survey was designed as a stratified random sample of 208
facilities from the target population of 11,407 secondary treatment POTWs. The
208 facilities were stratified across flow group only and each facility included
in the analytical probability sample was also included in the questionnaires
probability sample. Cost considerations restricted facilities in the analytical
survey to the contiguous 48 states.
Exhibits 2-1 and 2-2 illustrate strata sampling frame and sample size
distributions, respectively. Maps depicting the state distribution of facilities
in the questionnaire and analytical survey are provided in Exhibits 2-3 and
2-4. More detailed explanation of the survey sample design can be found in the
O
supporting statement for the National Sewage Sludge Survey.
2.4 Implementation Plan
An implementation plan for the questionnaire survey was presented February
23, 1989. This plan is provided in Appendix B. Note that the plan is divided
into four survey phases:
o Pre-mail out activities;
o Mail-out of questionnaires;

The proposed time schedule provided at the end of the plan was originally
designed with a response period for respondents as thirty days. However, one
of the conditions for OMB approval was to extend the response period to 45 days.
Because the deadline for delivering the database did not change, the time frame
for carrying out nonresponse followup activities as well as database development
activities operated under a more compressed schedule.
The remainder of this methodology report details the implementation of the
National Sewage Sludge Survey. The sections that follow closely parallel the
implementation plan presented to EPA and therefore is used to organize the
content of each section which is as follows:
Section 3 presents the pre-mail out activities;
Section 4 presents the activities surrounding the mail-out and the
receipt of the questionnaires, including nonresponse followup
efforts;
Section 5 presents database design and development activities;
Section 6 presents procedures used to upload the database to NCC;
Section 7 highlights the quality assurance measures implemented
throughout the survey;
Section 8 discusses possible sources of nonsampling error; and
Section 9 evaluates the survey assumptions initially presented to
EPA.

3. PRE-MAIL OUT PROCEDURES
Upon OMB approval in February 1989, SAIC began preparing for the mail-out
of survey packages to the 479 POTW facilities. The survey package consisted of
a cover letter encouraging the facility's participation in the survey, a
questionnaire, and a pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope in which to mail the
completed questionnaire back to EPA. A number of steps were taken prior to the
mail-out of the survey packages to ensure that 1) the packages would reach their
destination and 2) the questionnaires would be accurately tracked through the
entire survey process. Specifically, the steps taken prior to the mail-out were
as follows:
Updates to the facility mailing list (i.e., mailing address, contact
name, and telephone number);
Assignment of ID numbers to each facility;
Development of a receipt control system;
Assembly of the questionnaire package for mail-out;
Preparation and Distribution of Regional Mailing List; and
Preparation of Problem Log Book.
Each of the pre-mail out steps is explained below in detail.
3.1 Updates to the Facility Mailing List
Initially, facility identifying information was extracted from the .1986
Needs Survey which was conducted by the EPA Office of Municipal Pollution
Control. Part of the identifying information that was extracted included the
NPDES Number, the name of the POTW facility, the name of the authority under
which it operated, and the authority city, county, state, and zip code. The
Needs Survey did not contain complete information on POTW mailing addresses, such
as street or P.O. box addresses. Moreover, the Needs Survey did not provide
name of contact persons and telephone numbers, which were needed for later stages
of the survey effort.
3-1
-------
Both SAIC and EPA were concerned with the completeness of the POTW mailing
addresses. Though EPA was under a tight time constraint, the Agency agreed that
additional effort should be spent upfront to collect complete mailing addresses
for each facility prior to mailing, thereby increasing the likelihood that the
survey packages would reach their destinations.
SAIC extracted mailing and other contact information from several sources
with the analytical survey serving as the primary source. The analytical survey
was conducted prior to the mail-out of the questionnaire packages and, therefore,
contained updated contact information for all its survey participants (208).
SAIC contacted Dave Dunlap of Environmental and Energy Services Co. (ERC) to
obtain mailing addresses, contact names, and telephone numbers for the 208
analytical survey participants. SAIC then focused on several other sources to
identify mailing and contact information for the remaining 271 facilities. The
sources included:
Water Pollution Control Federation;
The Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA);
EPA Region and State contacts; and
Local Limit Case Studies conducted by the Office of Water Enforcement
and Permits.
The updates to the mailing and contact information took place over a period of
three weeks and involved obtaining the updates, recording them on update sheets
(see Exhibit 3-1), entering the updates into a database, and performing a quality
assurance check on the accuracy of the key entry efforts. The three week
updating effort resulted in 342 of 479 facility records being updated. The
remaining 137 facilities were mailed survey packages which used the authority
name, city, state, and zip code from the Needs Survey as the mailing address.

3.2 Assignment of ID Numbers
Survey identification numbers were developed and assigned to each facility
in the questionnaire sample. The ID Number was primarily assigned for tracking
purposes and was designed so that one could take a questionnaire and identify
the stratum to which it belonged and in the state in which it was located. The
ID Number consisted of seven digits, with the first two digits representing the
stratum, the third and fourth digit representing the state, and the last three
digits were assigned as a unique identifier (e.g., 001, 002, 003, etc.) Exhibit
3-2 displays the translation for the ID Number.
3.3 Receipt Control System
An automated receipt control system (RCS) was developed to track all 479
questionnaires through each stage of the survey. The RCS contained identifying
information for each POTW which included the seven digit survey ID number, the
name of the facility, mailing address, contact person, telephone number,
authority information, population served, flow rate, primary method of sludge
disposal, EPA Region, and an indication as to whether it was part of the
analytical survey. The RCS was developed to track the major phases of the
survey: the mail-out of the questionnaire packages, the receipt of certified mail
receipt cards, verification calls to determine receipt of the survey package,
nonresponse followup efforts, receipt of questionnaires, and coding and key entry
activities. The RCS specifically tracked the following survey information:
The initial mail-out date of the survey package;
The receipt date of the certified return receipt cards;
If EPA did not receive a certified return receipt card, the date that
a call was placed to the facility to verify whether or not the survey
package has been received;
The date that a survey package was remailed for those facilities
that did not receive the survey package from the initial mail-out;

The dates that nonresponse followup actions were taken for a facility
(i.e., the mail-out date of the first reminder letter, the mail-out
date of the second reminder letter, and the date of the telephone
reminder call);
The date that SAIC received the returned questionnaire and the status
of the questionnaire (i.e., complete, incomplete, out-of-business,
ineligible); and
The dates that completed questionnaires were sent through coding and
key entry phases of the survey.
The RCS was developed as a menu driven system in DBASE which could be
operated by any staff person with little or no knowledge of DBASE. The RCS
allowed for the entry and editing of the above survey information and generated
four types of reports which summarized the information tracked in the database.
Examples of each of the reports are displayed in Exhibits 3-3 through 3-6.1
3.4 Preparation of the Questionnaire Package
As mentioned earlier the survey package consisted of a signed cover letter
from the division director, the questionnaire, and a pre-paid, pre-addressed
envelope for the return of the questionnaire (i.e., Business Reply Mail
Envelope). Numerous steps were taken prior to prepare each of the three
components and to assemble them into a survey package for ready for mail-out on
March 31st. A brief overview of the steps are as follows:
A cover letter was drafted by SAIC and sent through EPA for comments
and approval. Upon approval, SAIC generated a cover letter for each
of the 479 facilities. Using the name and address files in the RCS,
SAIC created a mail merge routine whereby each of the letters were
addressed to each individual facility. Upon generation of the
letters, SAIC delivered the cover letters to EPA for signature.
ฆ^SAIC developed a RCS User Manual which explains how to operate each
function of the database and provides the design documentation which served as
the basis for developing the database. Refer to the RCS User Manual issued
September 29, 1989 for more information.

-------
The pre-addressed, pre-paid return envelope was being prepared as
"Business Reply Mail" (BRM) which essentially involved obtaining the
appropriate BRM labels from EPA and attaching them to the EPA
envelopes.
The survey packages were being mailed certified return receipt which
entailed obtaining 479 return receipt cards and certified receipts.
A return receipt card was attached to each envelope being mailed to
a facility while the certified receipts were kept by SAIC in the
event a package needed to be traced.
Several sets of address and survey ID labels were generated and
attached to all envelopes, questionnaires, and return receipt cards.
A facility address label was attached to the first page of the
questionnaire, the envelope in which the questionnaire was being
mailed to the facility, and on the return receipt card. An EPA
return address label was attached to the BRM envelope and to one side
of the return receipt card. Survey ID labels were attached to every
page of the questionnaire so that detached pages could be traced back
to the correct questionnaire. Survey ID labels were also attached
to the back of the BRM envelopes, and the certified receipts.
Three days prior to the mail-out of the survey packages, SAIC staff began
preparation of the individual components which included the attachment of the
labels as described above and the assemblage of the components into a survey
package. Once the survey packages were assembled, two quality assurance checks
were undertaken. First, SAIC staff checked that each survey ID number was
accounted for in regards to a survey package. Secondly, before any survey
package was sealed, the components of every fifth package was examined to ensure
that the facility name and address on the envelope and cover letter matched and
corresponded with the survey ID number attached to the questionnaire and
envelope.
3.5 Preparation and Distribution of Regional Mailing List
Parallel to the initial mail-out of the questionnaires, SAIC was asked by
EPA to prepare a list of POTWs participating in the survey by EPA Region. The
purpose of list was to provide the EPA Regions with names and addresses of the
POTWs in the questionnaire survey so that the Regions would be familiar with the
participants in the survey should they call with questions. In addition to the
names and addresses of each POTW, the listing indicated whether or not the
3-11
-------
facility was in the analytical survey, and it specified the flow rate group and
the disposal practices employed by each facility.
3.6 Preparation of Problem Log Books
Both the questionnaire instructions and the cover letter encouraged
facilities to call EPA if they had questions regarding the completion of the
survey. To assist EPA in tracking telephone calls from respondents and to
document the answers given to them, SAIC developed a problem log book. The
problem log book was organized by survey ID number so that a questions asked by
a respondent would be filed together under the survey ID number assigned to the
facility. SAIC developed a problem log sheet to record the respondent's question
and the EPA response. Exhibit 3-7 displays an example of the problem log sheet.

4. MAIL OUT, RECEIPT AND NON-RESPONSE FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES
4.1 Initial Mailing and Remail of Undeliverable Questionnaires
Once the questionnaires were prepared for mailing, they were hand carried
to the post office. Each receipt for the return receipt service was individually
stamped. These receipts are filed in a permanent questionnaire file. The 479
questionnaires were mailed on March 31, 1989. Appendix C contains a list of the
479 facilities.
Eleven questionnaires were returned marked as undeliverable. These
facilities were contacted and addresses were updated. The questionnaires for
these facilities were remailed with more complete addresses.
4.2 Return Receipt Cards
The return receipt cards, indicating successful delivery of the
questionnaire, began arriving as early as April 3, 1989. These cards were logged
on a transmittal sheet (Exhibit 4-1) at EPA and then retrieved by SAIC for entry
into the RCS. Two weeks from the mail out date the RCS was used to generate a
report listing of those questionnaire for which no return receipt card had been
received. The report contained the name and address of the facility, a contact
person and phone number if available. There were 19 facilities on this report.
Each of these facilities was contacted by phone to confirm the receipt of
questionnaire package. Of the 19 facilities contacted, 11 had not received the
questionnaire. Questionnaires were remailed to these 11 facilities and their
address was updated in the RCS.
4.3 Receipt of Questionnaires
The first completed questionnaires began coming into EPA by April 7, 1989.
Again the questionnaires were logged onto transmittal sheets (Exhibit 4-1) at

-------
EPA and picked up by" SAIC for entry into the RCS. For each returned
questionnaire, SAIC entered the identification number, the date of receipt from
EPA, and a status code.
All questionnaires were assigned an interim or pending code of "9" as they
were mailed out respondents. The pending code indicated that the respondent was
mailed a questionnaire and has not returned it. Once a questionnaire was
received, it was reviewed for completeness and assigned a final code of complete
(C) , incomplete (IC), out-of-business (OB), ineligible (I), not deliverable (ND) ,
refusal (R) , or other (0) . A questionnaire was considered complete if the
respondent completed the Section I on general POTW information and the section(s)
pertaining to the use or disposal practice used by the POTW. If the respondent
did not complete Section I and the corresponding use or disposal section, the
questionnaire was given an incomplete status. If the respondent returned the
questionnaire and indicated that the facility had closed and therefore did not
operate in 1988, the status code of "out-of-business" was assigned. If the
respondent indicated that the facility was only used for primary treatment or
was newly constructed and had not begun operation, it was coded as ineligible.
If a questionnaire was returned as undeliverable and efforts to locate the
facility failed, a status code of "not delivered" was assigned. If a facility
did not return a questionnaire after a specified time period, a status code of
"refusal" was assigned. The "other" status code was used for questionnaires
whose status was not readily apparent. After followup, the status of these
questionnaires was resolved and recoded appropriately with one of the above
status codes.
In spite of the initial influx of completed questionnaires, the response
rate was slow for the first month. By May 12, 1989 only 34 percent of the
questionnaires had been returned. As the 45 day deadline specified in the
questionnaire approached, the cumulative response rate rose to 57 percent. The
target response rate of 85 percent was not reached until June 23, 1989. Shortly
thereafter, the return rate diminished. By July 24, 1989, the overall cumulative
response rate reached 95 percent. At this time the response rate was over 90
percent for each stratum with one exception. This stratum (#12) was missing
4-3
-------
questionnaires from three POTWs located within one city, resulting in a stratum
response rate of 62 percent. This stratum contained facilities in the high flow
group which distribute and market their sludge. The sample design called for
100 percent response rate for high flow group facilities (i.e. , greater than 100
MGD). Diligent follow up by both EPA and SAIC facilitated the receipt of these
completed questionnaires on September 21, 1989. At the close of the 1988/1989
fiscal year the overall survey response rate was 97 percent.
Once the returned questionnaires were reviewed for completeness, given a
status code and entered into the receipt control system; they were prepared for
coding. Before a questionnaire was sent to coding, it was checked for membership
in the analytical survey. If the facility was part of the analytical survey,
the corresponding episode number from the analytical survey was recorded on the
questionnaire. This was done to ensure that the data from the two parts of the
1988 National Sewage Sludge Survey could be merged. A clean photocopy of the
original questionnaire was made for transmittal to coding and the original was
filed in-house. A problem log sheet and flag sheet, both with the questionnaire
identification number, were attached to the questionnaire. The problem log sheet
and flag sheet are described in Section 5 of this report. Next, the
questionnaire was logged on a transmittal sheet and sent to coding along with
a copy of the transmittal sheet. The date the questionnaire was sent to coding
and identification number were logged into the RCS.
When questionnaires were returned from coding, they were reviewed to try
to resolve any problems identified on the problem log or flag sheets. Then they
were logged on another transmittal sheet and sent to key entry. Questionnaire
identification numbers and the date sent to key entry was entered in RCS. The
date the questionnaire was returned from key entry was also entered into the RCS
to close the loop.
4.4 Non-response Follow Up
The strategy for non-response follow up included mailing two reminder
letters to nonrespondents before the 45 day deadline expired and then, after the
4-4
-------
deadline, contacting nonrespondents by telephone. The RCS was used to generate
a list of nonrespondents to be sent the first reminder letter three weeks before
the deadline. The first reminder letter was mailed to 381 facility contacts who
received their questionnaire during the initial mailing. The reminder letters
were generated by SAIC and taken to EPA for signature. The signed letters were
picked up by SAIC and prepared for mailing. Staff were instructed to verify that
the facility contact on the letter corresponded with that on the mailing
envelope. Then a quality control check of every fifth letter was conducted prior
to mailing. Finally the letters were counted to verify that the number of
reminder letters being sent coincided with the number of nonrespondents. The
second reminder letter was mailed on May 17, 1989, one week before the deadline,
to 220 POTW contacts. The second reminder letter was mailed using the same
procedures as the initial reminder letter. A staggered reminder letter was sent
on June 7, 1989 to those facilities to which the questionnaire was remailed
either because it was initially undeliverable or because they had requested
another copy of the questionnaire be mailed to them. Each of the reminder
letters was signed by the EPA project manager.
The telephone follow up with 42 nonrespondents was initiated on June 15,
1989. Again the nonresponse report in the RCS was used to identify those
facilities from which the completed questionnaire had not been received. A
telephone nonresponse follow up sheet was generated for each facility by the RCS.
These sheets served as a telephone log. They contained the name and address of
the facility, the name and phone number of the facility contact and the dates
the facility had been mailed the questionnaire and the two reminder letters.
The telephone follow up effort was undertaken by both EPA and SAIC. EPA called
all nonrespondents in the high flow groups and anyone with whom EPA had already
had telephone contact. SAIC contacted the other facility contacts. By June 23,
1989, SAIC had contacted 28 facility contacts of which 13 were still completing
the questionnaire, 11 had already put it in the mail, and 4 requested an
additional copy be sent to them. One of the telephone contacts on June 27, 1989
found that the POTW contact had lost the questionnaire. Since this facility was
part of the analytical survey another questionnaire was mailed on June 29, 1989.
The nonresponse telephone follow up was terminated on July 11, 1989. Three
4-5
-------
facility contacts could not be reached. Appendix D provides a list of facilities
and the nonresponse followup actions undertaken.
4.5 Results of Nonresponse Follow Up Efforts
The nonresponse follow up activities proved extremely useful in improving
the response rate. Through these extra efforts the final response rate exceeded
the targeted response rate by 7 percentage points. The nonresponse follow up
provided a final response rate which exceeded 90 percent in each stratum. When
facilities were sorted by the EPA region in which they are located, the response
rate was 94 percent or greater. The questionnaire response rate was 96 percent
among those facilities that were part of the analytical survey. Exhibit 4-2
displays the final survey status report, providing the stratum and overall
response rates for the survey.

5. DATABASE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
After a facility completed and returned a questionnaire to EPA, the
questionnaire was retrieved by SAIC and processes described in Section IV were
implemented. After logging in a questionnaire at SAIC, it was reviewed for
completeness and then prepared for the database development phases of the survey:
Coding which included those activities associated with reviewing
questionnaire responses for integrity and formatting the responses
so that they were ready for key entry;
Key entry which involved reading the responses from the questionnaire
and key entering them directly into a database;
Data quality audits which involved developing and programming a
series of range and logic checks by which to identify problem
responses which need further clarification; and
Response clarification which involved contacting facilities whose
questionnaires were flagged for response clarification as a result
of the automated data quality checks.
This section describes each of the database development phases (coding,
key entry, and response clarification) as well as the initial design step of the
designing the file structure for the database.
5.1 Development of the File Structure
SAIC staff were responsible for the development of the database structure
(i.e., specifying the file and variable layout). The database structure was
developed to minimize the burden on key entry in terms of interpretation and
erroneous key entry as well as allowing maximum flexibility for the user of the
database. The staff first examined the survey instrument and determined how each
response should be coded into the database. The general guideline followed was
to code each response as a separate variable in the database. Next the SAIC
staff assessed the number of files to allocate for the database and the number
of variables to include in each file. Once the overall file structure was
determined, the column layout of each variable was assigned as well the
5-1
-------
assignment of character versus numeric field types. For each variable coded,
the SAIC staff developed variable labels which were 40 characters in length and
adequately described the variable to the user.
Following the procedures above, Section I of the questionnaire was divided
into 11 files and Sections 2 through 7 were each divided into two files. The
database, therefore, resulted in 22 files, with a total of 1,467 variables being
coded. Exhibit 5-1 displays the overall file structure of the database.^
5.2 Coding Questionnaires
After the file structure was developed, SAIC began work on developing a
coding manual which provided guidelines for coding the questionnaires and
established a set of procedures by which problems were identified and resolved
in a consistent manner. The codebook provided question-by-question guidance and
was formatted so that the question appeared on the left-hand side and the coding
guidelines on the opposite facing page. An example of the format employed in
the coding manual is illustrated in Exhibit 5-2. The coding guidelines were
O
divided into four sections:
Question Description/Comments . Useful comments or pointers regarding
the intent or the use of the question was provided. A number of
comments that were incorporated were the result of telephone
conversations that EPA had with a respondent regarding the completion
of the question.
Coding checks/Flags. Guidelines were given on identifying and
flagging specific problem responses which included missing sections,
skipped questions, missing values, and inconsistencies between
responses. Each of the checks were recorded on a flag sheet which
is explained below.
ฆ'ฆSAIC developed a Data Element Dictionary which specifically lays out the
structure of each file and provides a description of the variables contained in
each file. Refer this document, issued September 29, 1989, if more detailed
information on the structure of the database is needed.
%f more detailed information is needed on coding procedures employed for
the National Sewage Sludge Survey, refer to the Coding Manual issued May 23,
1989.

Critical Items. Specific questions were identified as critical by
EPA in its efforts to support the development of sewage sludge
regulations. EPA and SAIC met to examine the questionnaire
item-by-item. During the examination of each item, EPA indicated
whether it was critical, semi-critical, or not critical to the study.
Key Entry Format. Guidelines were provided on formatting responses
for key entry. The guidelines were directly dictated by the file
structure specifications; i.e., number of columns allocated to the
response and numeric versus character.
The project staff met with the coders to review the guidelines presented
in the codebook. Coders were instructed to code all questionnaires so that they
were ready for key entry, to flag any problem responses on the questionnaire and
to record them on a flag sheet (Exhibit 5-3). In addition to completing the
flag sheet, the coders were instructed to document any unique response problems
and resolutions on a problem log sheet (Exhibit 5-4).
The coding process itself extended over a three month period beginning,
June 5th. Special steps were taken to prepare the questionnaires for the coding
process. Prior to coding, each questionnaire was photocopied and the original
was filed in-house. The photocopied version then served as the working copy
through the stages of coding and key entry. A blank flag sheet and problem log
sheet was then inserted in the photocopied questionnaire. For each facility that
was part of the analytical survey, the episode number that was assigned to the
facility was recorded on the photocopied questionnaire. The questionnaires were
then grouped in batches and the survey ID numbers were recorded on a transmittal
sheet (Exhibit 5-5). Prior to sending the questionnaires to coding, the survey
ID numbers being sent and the date of transmittal to coding were entered into
the RCS.
After each questionnaire was coded, the coding staff returned the coded
questionnaire with the flag sheet and any problem log sheets. The transmittal
sheets were used to verify the return of the questionnaires. The coded
questionnaires were then reviewed for quality by project staff prior to
transmittal to key entry. If there were any coding mistakes that appeared

consistently throughout a batch of questionnaires, memos were issued which
explained the coding mistake and the recommended approach for coding the
question(s) correctly.
5.3 Key Entry of Questionnaire Responses
SAIC managed the key entry of questionnaire responses into a database
structured according to the file specifications. As a quality assurance measure,
SAIC performed key entry verification on each questionnaire entered into the
database. In other words, each questionnaire was entered twice and the key
strokes were compared for the two entries. Any discrepancy between two entries
was resolved by examining the questionnaire.
After a batch of questionnaires were coded and reviewed, the batch was sent
to key entry. Again, the survey ID number and date of transmittal were entered
into RCS. Each questionnaire was logged onto a transmittal sheet as displayed
in Exhibit 5-6. After receiving a batch from key entry and logging the
questionnaires into RCS, SAIC performed quality assurance reviews on selected
records in the batch to check that the questionnaire responses were keyed
correctly into the database.
5.4 Development of Automated Data Quality Audits
During the period that questionnaires were being key entered into the
database, SAIC began specifying and programming a series of automated data
quality audits. The data quality audits served a two-fold purpose: 1) to act
as a quality assurance check on the coding efforts and 2) to perform complex
checks across variables which otherwise would be cumbersome and time consuming
it performed manually by the coders.
Five groups of automated edit checks were developed and programmed. Each
group of edit checks primarily focused on the questions which were marked as

critical items in the codebook. A list of critical items is displayed in Exhibit
5-7. The four groups of checks are described as follows:
Skin pattern checks. These checks were developed to identify those
respondents who answered a question and then were instructed by the
directions to continue with the following question but instead
skipped over that question.
For example:
7.
Is this POTW a combined sanitary wastewater and storm water
treatment facility?
a.
No [Skip to Item 91
b.
Yes [Continue]
Range Checks and Blanks. Edit checks developed in this category
identified out-of-range responses and blanks. Ranges for responses
were developed by SAIC staff who have expertise on sewage sludge
generation and disposal practices. The ranges were programmed so
that a response that was lower or higher than the expected range of
values was flagged. In terms of blanks, any respondent that did not
answer specific critical questions were flagged for a blank response.
Mutually Exclusive Fields. A number of questions in the
questionnaire contained a series of responses where the respondent
could only choose and mark one response. Checks were developed for
such questions to identify those respondents that marked more than
one response.
Logic/Consistency Checks. The purpose of this type of audit was to
cross-check the responses between questions that were in some way
related. For example, the number of industrial dischargers in
Section 1, question 6 should be approximately equal to the sum of
dischargers across industries as reported in question 10. Another
example is the population served in Section 1, question 4 should be
related to the average daily domestic flow rate. Consistency checks
for quantitative responses were generally designed so that the
response to one question must be within 10% or 15% of response to
the other question against which it was being compared.
Each questionnaire was run through the automated edit checks and an error
sheet was generated which listed for each questionnaire (i.e., survey ID number)
the individual error checks that it failed. An example of an error sheet is
5-12
-------
displayed in Exhibit 5-8. These error sheets were than used to prepare
questionnaires for a telephone effort whereby responses were clarified or
confirmed.
5.5 Response Clarification
After a batch of questionnaires was run through the data quality audit
program, an error sheet for each questionnaire was produced. The SAIC project
staff examined each error sheet and identified those questionnaires that failed
error checks for critical items and flagged them for response clarification by
telephone. Nearly every questionnaire failed some type of critical item check.
To set a priority on the response clarification efforts, SAIC specifically
focused the effort first on those questionnaires that were in the flow groups
1 and 2 of the analytical survey and then with time permitting also sent the
remaining questionnaires through the response clarification effort.
To simplify the response clarification efforts, SAIC developed Response
Data Sheets which referenced each error code, explained the error, and indicated
what the respondent should clarify. The Response Data Sheets were also formatted
so that the SAIC staff person asking the question could record the respondent's
response on the left-hand side of the sheet and another staff person could then
read the response and code it on the right-hand side so that the sheets could
be given directly to key entry for updates into the database. The Response Data
Sheets were pulled and attached to each questionnaire which required
clarifications over the telephone. An example of a Response Data Sheet is
displayed in Exhibit 5-9.
The telephone clarification effort took place over a three week period,
beginning on August 21st. Four staff persons and one backup were trained in a
four hour training session. The training session included an introduction to
the survey (i. e.,background, description of the questionnaire, description of
the respondents), an overview of the types of errors that needed to be clarified,
a detailed review of each type of error code, and telephone procedures. As part
of the training, role plays were conducted so that the staff

being trained became familiar with the types of questions to ask respondents,
the types of responses that may be given by respondents, and the way responses
were to be recorded on the problem response sheets. In addition to the training
session, two formal debriefings were held with the SAIC staff who were conducting
the phone calls to discuss any problems encountered during the phone calls to
facilities. Project staff also met regularly with individual staff to discuss
any problems encountered.
The response clarification effort resulted in a total of 159 facilities
or 33 percent of the survey sample being contacted for response clarification.
Of the 159 facilities, 94 facilities are part of the analytical sample with 30
of the facilities in flow groups 1 and 2.
After a staff person completed response clarification calls to a set of
facilities, the Response Data Sheets were collected and coded for key entry.
The Response Data Sheets were then passed on to key entry where changes to the
responses were implemented in the database.

6. FINALIZATION OF THE DATABASE
Data entry for late responses and key entry of edits resulting from
response clarification efforts were completed September 22, 1989. The process
of uploading the data to EPA's National Computer Center (NCC) was then initiated.
Upon completing the upload procedure, data were converted to the Statistical
Analysis System (SAS) format. Results of the questionnaire survey now resides
in a SAS IBM 0S/VS2 library on a disk drive at NCC. This SAS library is titled:
DGPA0111.SLU29515.SSEP2689.SASFILE.
As mentioned previously, the survey data is partitioned into 22 member
files. Prior to considering the database final, content lists of each file were
audited to insure that the upload and format procedures had been executed
successfully. File statistics generated from SAS indicate that each file contains
data from the 460 responding POTW's. This number of responses was correctly
verified by RCS. To document the final database, six listings of each file were
delivered to EPA on September 29, 1989.
Information from each returned questionnaire was translated into 1467
variables. SAIC developed a variable naming convention that allowed data in the
database to be mapped back to corresponding questions in the survey instrument.
Because of the complexity of these variable names, a permanent label has been
attached to each variable in the SAS library. Although the labels are concise,
effort was taken to create labels that inform database users about the nature
of the data recorded in each variable without referring to the questionnaire.
Prior to uploading these labels to the SAS library, they were reviewed by several
individuals unfamiliar with the survey document. These individuals were of the
opinion that the labels achieved the desired objective.
To enhance the use of the resulting database, a data element dictionary
was created and delivered to EPA. This document provides information concerning
the file structure of the database, explains the variable naming convention, and
identifies unique variables for the facilities. Procedures are also provided
6-1
-------
to link two or more files between the questionnaire and survey databases as well
as linking within the questionnaire database.

7. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
As cited throughout the document numerous quality control steps were taken

8. NONSAMPLING ERROR
The 1988 Sewage Sludge Use and Disposal Survey Database will be used to
develop a number of population estimates regarding the generation, use and
disposal of sewage sludge. These include, for example, estimates on the quantity
of sewage sludge generated, the number of facilities that dispose sewage sludge
using land application, the quantity of sewage sludge disposed in co-disposal
landfills. It is important to keep in mind that these are statistical survey
estimates and are subject to error. Such error can be classified into two
general categories: sampling error and nonsampling error.
Sampling error is the difference between an estimate obtained from a sample
and the value resulting from a census of the entire population if the same
questionnaire and survey procedures had been used. Sampling error is generally
measured by confidence intervals and standard errors. Nonsampling error, on the
other hand, refers to all other sources of errors that might occur in a survey.
These include mistakes by the respondent in entering responses on the
questionnaire, misinterpretation of specific questions, undetected data entry
errors, transcription errors, nonresponse, and conversion of quantitative
responses into standard units.
It is nonsampling error which will be discussed in this section.
Generally, nonsampling errors cannot be measured from the data collected in a
survey; however efforts were made to identify the sources of nonsampling error
and steps were taken to reduce their impact. Some of the major sources of
nonsampling error are described below.
8.1 Respondent's Ability to Understand the Questions Clearly
The questionnaire included instructions on how to complete each question,
key phrases that helped the respondent understand the intent of specific
questions, and definitions to ensure that all respondents have a common
understanding the terms being used in the survey. Given these survey aids,
respondents still misinterpreted or did not understand certain questions. The
8-1
-------
coding and data quality audit efforts identified certain questions which
consistently showed inconsistent or ambiguous responses. The response
clarification efforts by telephone revealed the reasons for respondent
misinterpretation or misunderstanding of certain questions. The examples of
questions and reasons for misinterpretation are as follows:
Section I. Questions 6 and 10: A misunderstanding of how commercial
and industrial users should be accounted for. SAIG checked for some
consistency between questions 6 and 10. Quite often the number of
industrial establishments recorded in question 6a did not match the
number of industrial establishments entered in question 10. The
response clarification efforts identified that respondents omitted
certain categories of industrial establishments if they did not fit
the categories already listed in question 10. Other respondents
relied on water billing data to respond to question 6a while question
10 was answered using municipal pretreatment program information
which often times only detailed significant industrial users. Some
instances occurred where question 6 included industrial and
commercial establishment who did not discharge during 1988 while
question 10 excluded those establishments. All of the above reasons
resulted in the value to question 6 being inconsistent with the value
to question 10, and often times by an order of magnitude.
* Section I. Question 9: Misunderstanding on how to record flow rates
in MGD. There were a few respondents who recorded flow rates as
gallons per day (GD) instead of million gallons per day (MGD). A
specific logic check was developed as part of the data quality audits
to identify unusually high flow rates based on the population and
industrial establishments served. Once the facilities were
identified, telephone calls were placed to the facilities to verify
whether the responses were recorded as GD or MGD.
8.2 Respondent's Ability to Report Quantitative Responses
Some respondents had difficulties in reporting quantitative responses for
certain types of questions. The two most difficult questions for respondents
to answer were questions 16 and 24 in Section I. Question 16 asked respondents
to provide the quantity of sewage sludge, in dry tons, generated during the 1988.
Two types of problems occurred in providing quantitative responses to this
question. First, a number of respondents that used sludge lagoons as a means
for disposing sludge do not measure the annual quantity of sludge generated.
8-2
-------
Second, a number of facilities do not dry the sludge before shipment off-site
for disposal and consequently failed to answer question 16 or provided wet
weight.
The types of response problems identified for question 16 also apply to
question 24. Respondents either did not measure the quantity of sludge being
used and disposed during 1988 or could not quantify the quantity of sludge
disposed in wet weight and therefore failed to answer the question.
Telephone response clarification efforts quite often focused on resolving
blank or inconsistent responses for questions 16 and 24. When necessary,
respondents were encouraged to provide estimates versus leaving the blank
responses for both questions.
Some respondents also found difficulties in responding to question 9 in
Section I. Question 9 asked respondents for several types of facility flow
rates. For a few facilities, flow rates were either left blank or they did not
add up (i.e., the average domestic, industrial, infiltration, and "other" flows
did hot sum to the average daily total flow). Facilities that failed to provide
a response for flow rates indicated that they did not meter flow rates or that
their meters for measuring flow were broken. Other respondents could not break
down the flow rates in Question 9 by type (residential, industrial/nondomestic,
infiltration, and other) because the rates were not metered by the categories
listed in the questionnaire. During the response clarification efforts,
respondents were reasked the question and prompted to break down the flow rates
according to the four categories listed. If respondents were unable to break
down the flow rates, the individual flow rates were left blank.
For flow rates that did not sum to the total daily flow rate, facilities
indicated that they did not know certain flow rates, such as the infiltration
flow or the "other" flow, and consequently resulting in the sum of the component
flow rates being less than the daily total flow.
8-3
-------
The revenue and expense categories presented in Section I, questions G33
and G34, was often inconsistent with the respondent's recordkeeping practices.
For example, respondents could not break down user sewer charges by the three
types of customers: residential, industrial, and commercial. During the response
clarification efforts, respondents were asked to break down aggregate user sewer
charges by the three types of users. However, a number of respondents were not
able to do so. Consequently, the aggregated sewer charges was entered under one
of the user categories.
8.3 Conversion of the responses for quantities of sludge from other units of
measurement, such as cubic yards, cubic feet, barrels, into the standard
unit of tons.
Some respondents reported the quantity of sludge generated (question 16
in Section I) and the quantity of sludge used and disposed (question 24 in
Section I) in a unit of measurement other than U.S. tons. Efforts were taken
to converts such responses into U.S. tons. In converting responses to tons,
however, assumptions were made with regard to the density of waste and quantities
of waste were rounded off, all of which may contribute to nonsampling errors.
8-4
-------
9. EVALUATION OF SURVEY ASSUMPTIONS
Several assumptions were made at the onset of the survey to guide the
nonresponse followup efforts and clarification efforts. The survey assumptions
were part of the presentation given to EPA on SAIC's implementation plan as shown
in Appendix A as well as in Exhibit 9-1. An evaluation of the survey assumptions
is presented in this section.
As shown in Exhibit 9-1, it was assumed that two weeks after the initial
mail-out of the questionnaires, only 50% or 240 return receipt cards would be
returned to EPA. The initial mail-out of the questionnaires provided this
assumption to be quite low. In reality, 460 or 96% of the POTW facilities signed
and mailed back the return receipt cards two weeks after the initial mail-out.
As a result, only 19 reminder calls were placed to POTW facilities versus the
anticipated calls to 240 facilities.
The second assumption was that 5% or 24 facilities would require a remail
of the questionnaire. Two weeks after the initial mail-out only 2% or 11
facilities required a remail. However, as the reminder letters were sent to the
facilities, a number of facilities called EPA stating that they misplaced their
questionnaires and required a remail. Approximately 13 questionnaires were
remailed due to facilities calling in and requesting another copy of the
questionnaire.
After 21 days, it was anticipated that 20% or 96 completed questionnaires
would be received. This anticipated percentage was higher than the survey showed
after four weeks. Eleven percent which totaled 77 facilities mailed back their
questionnaires after four weeks. As a result, approximately 400 initial reminder
letters were sent to facilities reminding them to complete and return their
questionnaires.
Approximately 40 days after the initial mail-out, SAIC expected that 70%
or 355 facilities will have returned completed questionnaires. The survey,
however, showed that after 42 days only 21% for a total of 100 facilities

-------
returned completed questionnaires. Approximately 54 days after the initial
mail-out, the response rate increased to 48% after which a second reminder letter
was mailed out nonresponse facilities. A total of 253 facilities received a
second reminder letter.
The target response rate was 85%, and it was achieved on June 23rd after
a series of reminder telephone calls were placed to nonresponse facilities. By
July 6th, however, a 91% response rate was received, and by August 11th the
response rate was over 95%. The RCS was used to track the response rate of the
survey over time. Exhibit 9-2a and 9-2b graphically display the cumulative
number of questionnaires returned and the survey response rate over time.
The final assumption presented was that 360 questionnaires would require
phone contact with respondents for item (response) clarification. At least 75%
of the questionnaires would have required some type of response clarification,
even if minor. Due to time and resources, however, response clarification
efforts focused on questionnaires in the high flow groups, particularly in the
analytical survey. The response clarification effort resulted in contacting 159
facilities, of which 94 were part of the analytical survey.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a technical regulation for the
use and disposition of sewage sludges either generated or treated in a treatment works. This
questionnaire is limited to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). A treatment works is any
device or system used in the treatment (including recycling and reclamation) of domestic sewage
of a liquid nature. This questionnaire covers six use and disposal practices for sewage sludge:
(1) Land application;
(2) Distribution and marketing;
(3) Incineration;
(4) Monofill;
(5) Co-disposal landfill; and
(6) Ocean disposal.
Information collected through this questionnaire is needed to evaluate the risks, costs, and
economic impacts of the regulation of these sewage sludge use and disposal practices.

-------
Section I - General POTW Information
DEFINITIONS OF SEWAGE SLUDGE USE AND DISPOSAL PRACTICES:
Land application - The application of liquid, dewatered, dried, or composted sewage sludge
to the land by surface spraying, surface spreading, or subsurface injection. Sludge may be
applied to land intended for a number of end uses including, but not limited to, cropland,
pasture, commercially grown turf, silviculture, land for reclamation, and dedicated sites.
The sludge may be applied by the POTW or by a distributor or end user under a contract or
similar control mechanism with the POTW. Note that in this definition the POTW has
direct control over the application of sewage sludge.
Distribution and marketing - The give-away, transfer, or sale of sewage sludge or sewage
sludge product (e.g., composted sludge product) in either bagged or bulk form. The POTW
does not apply the sludge and the end-user applying the sludge is not under the direct
control of the POTW. Note that a label or notice provided with the sewage sludge does not
constitute direct control.
Sewage sludge incineration - The treatment of sewage sludge exclusively in an enclosed
device using controlled flame combustion. Includes all sewage sludge incinerators on site
and also, those facilities transporting sewage sludge to another facility that operates sewage
sludge incinerators.
MonofiU - A controlled area of land that contains one or more sewage sludge units. A
sewage sludge unit is defined as a controlled area of land where only sewage sludge is
placed. The sludge is covered with a cover material at the end of each operating day or at
more frequent intervals.
Co-disposal landfill - An area of land or an excavation that is used for the permanent
disposal of solid waste, residuals, and sewage sludges. These include, but are not limited to,
municipal landfills that accept sewage sludge for disposal in conjunction with other waste
materials.
Ocean disposal - Dumping or controlled release of sewage sludge from a barge or other
vessel into marine water.
Co-incineration - The combined treatment of sewage sludge and other combustible waste
materials (e.g., trash and other municipal solid waste) in an enclosed device using controlled
flame combustion.
-Surface disposal - A controlled area of land where only sewage sludge is placed for a period
of one year or longer. Sludge placed in this area is not provided with a daily or final cover.
(Surface disposal areas may become naturally covered with vegetation as a result of seed
drift.) Surface disposal does not include areas where sludge has formed or is currently
being formed and being deposited as a result of ongoing treatment (e.g., finishing ponds).
Surface disposal can be a natural topographical depression, man-made excavation or diked
area formed primarily of earthen material designed to store (not treat) sewage sludge for a
period of one year or longer. Surface disposal also includes placement of sludge in piles for
a period of one year or more, as a means of disposal.

24. After reading the definitions on page 10, enter the quantity (wet basis) and percent solids
content of sewage sludge used and disposed during 1988 by each of the following practices,
whether final processing is accomplished at this POTW or off-site. Include only sewage
sludge generated at this POTW. DO NOT INCLUDE SLUDGE GENERATED OFF-
SITE BUT PROCESSED AND DISPOSED BY THIS POTW. This question pertains to
final end use and disposal practices, not interim storage or drying.

SECTION II. LAND APPLICATION
Land application is the application of liquid, dewatered, dried, or composted sewage sludge
to the land by surface spraying, surface spreading, or subsurface injection. Sludge may be
applied to land intended for a number of end uses including, but not limited to, cropland,
pasture, commercially grown turf, silviculture, land for reclamation, and dedicated sites.
The sludge may be applied by the POTW or by a distributor or end user under a contract
or similar control mechanism with the POTW. Note that in this definition the POTW has
direct control over the application of sewage sludge.
