Description: Abstract: SEDIMENT_INVENTORY_EPA_IN is a point shapefile from the National Sediment Inventory developed by the USEPA BASINS 3.0 program and edited by Bernardin, Lochmueller and Associates. Points represent monitoring stations attributed as occuring within the state of Indiana or along the Ohio River in Kentucky, or in Illinois along Lake Michigan. Joinable tables must be utilized to access data at specific stations for specific parameters. Five tables are available - tissue residue data (tischem.dbf), sediment chemistry data (sedichem.dbf), screening value, cancer slope factors, and noncancer reference doses for chemicals (reftabl.dbf), watershed summary data (watersh.dbf), biotoxicity data (biotox.dbf). US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports - "This dataset describes the accumulation of chemical contaminants in river, lake, ocean, and estuary bottoms and includes a screening assessment of the potential for associated adverse effects on human and environmental health. EPA evaluated more than 21,000 sampling stations nationwide using sediment chemistry data, chemical residue levels in edible tissue of aquatic organisms, and sediment toxicity data. Of the sampling stations evaluated, 5,521 stations were classified as Tier 1 (associated adverse effects are probable), 10,401 stations were classified as Tier 2 (associated adverse effects are possible, but expected infrequently), and 5,174 stations were classified as Tier 3 (no indication of associated adverse effects). Ninety-six watersheds were identified as areas of probable concern for sediment contamination. EPA believes that these watersheds represent the highest priority for further ecotoxicological assessments, risk analysis, temporal and spatial trend assessments, contaminant source evaluation, and management action because of the preponderance of evidence in these areas (although further evaluation is necessary). Also see the related report entitled The Incidence And Severity Of Sediment Contamination In Surface Waters of the United States, Volume 1, National Sediment Quality Survey (EPA 823-R-97-006, ) that was published in September 1997. For distribution with BASINS v.2.0, the spatial attributes of the database were prepared in Arcview shape file format while selected relational attributes were prepared in Arcview DBF file format." "This data set provides individuals with observation level data that were used in the most geographically extensive investigation of sediment contamination ever performed in the United States. Based on this evaluation, sediment contamination exists at levels where associated adverse effects are probable in some locations within each State of the country." Purpose: To provide general information on sediment contamination at monitoring stations in Indiana. US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports - "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared these data and the related assessment to meet the requirements set forth in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1992, which directed EPA, in consultation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), to conduct a comprehensive national survey of data regarding the quality of aquatic sediments in the United States. The Act required EPA to compile all existing information on the quantity, chemical and physical composition, and geographic location of pollutants in aquatic sediment." Supplemental_Information: This dataset, as well as many others, was compiled for mapping and download as part of the Indiana Statewide GIS Database funded by the Indiana Department of Transportation. Many publicly available datasets were created, edited, and compiled inclusion in the Statewide Database Website where users can download data or map online using ArcIMS. Many public data sources, not created in conjunction with the statewide project, were obtained by website download, contacting originators, and creating spatial files from tabular data. A range of layer editing was used, specific to each layer, from full creation, to data cleaning, to only reformatting metadata. The level of editing done by BLA or IGS is fully disclosed in the process steps of this metadata; credit for the information is retained by the originator.

Use should be limited to broad planning and information, however, completeness and horizontal position issues prohibit this digital file from replacing field review for final decision making. This data set was compiled by Bernardin, Lochmueller and Associates, using data believed to be accurate; however, a degree of error is inherent in all data. This product is distributed "AS-IS" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of suitability of a particular purpose or use.

These data are intended for use only at the published scale or smaller and are for reference purposes only. They are not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. A detailed on-the-ground survey and historical analysis of a single site may differ from this data. US Environmental Protection Agency BASINS metadata reports - "The National Sediment Quality Survey is a screening-level assessment of sediment quality that compiles and evaluates sediment chemistry data and related biological data taken from existing databases. The data and information contained in this document could be used in various EPA regulatory programs for priority setting or other purposes after further evaluation for program-specific criteria.

Using basic SAS commands, the files were converted directly to DBASE formatted files for transporting into this application. The geographic coordinates for sampling stations were obtained from the source data. Since most of these stations have existed for some time, it is likely they were determined by using USGS 1:24,000 - 1:100,000-scale topographic map (depending on map availability), which is consistent with the approach used for many EPA data systems originally developed in the early 1980's."
