Our @ rincipal efforts were turned toward recovery of Data Bank information see A.2) rather than the scattered pieces of unpublished reports. However, we did make one pilot project of a concentrated study on the Maine rivers (Appendix C.5) which went tnto more detail than was pos- sible for the rest of the study area. Of primary concern was the unpub- lished literature associated with rivers and estuaries within the coastal drainage basins in Maine. For the majority of unpublished re- ports reviewed we found that the level of detail was generally narrow and local and that many reports were not pertinent. This meant that such an effort was considered premature for the entire region of this S4-U dy. The methods demonstrated by the pilot Maine Rivers study are, however, useful to fut-ure efforts once Site-Snec4fic data are needed. One other area where we made extensive use of unpublished data was in the Geology of Beaches, Section 5.1 where use of the U. S. Ar-my Corps of Engineers reports, House Documents, theses, and dissertations were -all used to supplement the published scientific literature. A.1.1 WELL LOG DATA As an example, but -by no means necessarily a typical one, we present the type of "other data sources" that are prevalent in the unpublished and less easy to obtain data. The following report presented as Attach- ment A.1-1 is a well log from Shell Mohawk No. B-93, an exploratory well drilled in 1970 southeast of the southern tip of Nova Scotia. This is the closest-well drilled to Georges ang Brown Bank 8nd is located 70 miles from Shelburne, N.S. at about 42 50'N and 64 301W. This report was furnished by the Maine Bureau of Geology. Approxi- mately seventy such exploratory wells have been drilled in Canadian waters on leased or permitted tracks shown in Attachment A-1. The majority of these wells are referenced as P & A (plugged and abandoned) and reportedly only four are cited as being potential producers. These four were, however, on leased tracts where reporting of findings is required as opposed to permit drilling which requires no disclosure.

The purpose of the well was to test the un-faulted, low relief Mohawk anti- clinal structure for hydrocarbon accumulations. The drilling contractor was Southeastern Commonwealth Drilling Limited, utilizing the semi-submersible drilling vessel Sedco H.- The@vesse:l' was anchored in a water depth of 384 feet. The wel-I spudded May 1, 1970, and was drilled to a total depth of 6,975 feet.. Rig release date was May 23, 1970. Protective casing strings were set at 1,148 feet and 3,488 feet. The hole bottomed in granite after penetrating 6,930 feet of sedi- ments. Lithology of the clastics consisted of shale, sands and:dense carbonates. There were no shows and no testing was conducted.

A fairly recent re- view of most of these can be found in Interstate Electronics Corp. (1973) and NODC'S Environmental Data Base Directory (EDBD) (1973). However, only a few are fully operational or able to provide useful data on request. Parts of several reports were used in the present study to provide supplementary data or they were used in an evaluative process to show what might be useful in terms of the type of data stored and ease of retrieval. No attempt was made to sample or list all the available data banks. An abbreviated list is included, how- ever, below: FEDERAL DATABANKS.

A.2.2 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA LOCATION: NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA CENTEk, WASHINGTUN, U. C. In response to a visit,and formal request to, NODC we obtained parts of an unpublished atlas which was in the proces@s of being printed, which summarizes all available NODC data on variou's physical and one chemical property by plotting these and providing ta6ular summaries. Figure A-1 shows the three areas covered. these are Area 4, 5, and 6 in the Western North Atlantic. The following types of data are avail- able by each of these three areas, and are 0'resented in Attachment A-1 with tables on pages and following.: These tables are:' .Table A-1 Temperature-salinity, a composite for all months A-2 Temperature vs depth by seasonal;quarters A-3 Temperature vs depth with seasonal distribution plots A-4 Salinity vs depth with seasonal distribution plots A-5 Salinity vs depth with seasonal olots at standard depths A-6 Oxygen vs depth sea surface values plotted A-7 Phosphate vs depth sea surface values plotted A-18 Temperature (Bathythermograph) NODC has for some time maintained computer files of thermal structure determined from mechanical BT and XBT for the upper layers. Figure A-2 shows the density of-observations for the study area by one degree squares. A summary of these data are presented as a sample for one month (February; Marsden 151 one degree 37.) on Table A-8. Current Speed The only data available from NODC for the Gulf of Maine and south of Cape Cod are based on ship position and drift (NODC H 1-9 printout). A sample summary is shown on Table A-9. Most of those points on Marsden Square 151 (Gulf of Maine) have.too few data to be computed since there are less than four observations. South of MS 151 the.number of vessels passing through increases and calculations are possible. However, as is rather obvious, this type of "course steered-course made good" de- termination is a rough approximation and subject to many errors of which the majority are likely to be in excess of the current velocity.

WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION (WHOI) Several visits were made to WHOI to search for readily available physi- cal data. It was not possible to search thoroughly but our efforts do indicate the types of data, form of storage, and general availability. Temperature Monthly averages are available form one degree squares taken by BT and XBT. The original data and averages are recorded on 3" x 5" cards along with complete information on location and date taken. These data are also entered into data books. Region covered: North Atlantic Ocean Period of coverage: 1940 to present Quality: Most areas including inshore have sufficiently detailed average data to be reliable.

Contact at WHOI: Dr. Elizabeth Schroeder Currents Relatively few current measurements from toWers, buoys, or bottom mounted instruments appear to be available.@ A larger listing of data was available but since the majority of these records were U., S. Coast Guard data, the original data were not tran@mitted to us. Also, data older than 10 years were considered to be inlyalid as they were "taken under primitive conditions" (personal communication, Ms. Susan Tarbell, WHOI). Those few data that were made available are for south of Georges Bank (due south of Nantucket Island), inshore of Jeffreys to Ledge, and at'Woods Hole. Table A-10 prese6lts these data. The sta- tions are also plotted along with other bottom current data in Chapter 3, Figure 3-54A. Additional Physical Data: Other bits of physical data obviously are taken, although probably not with any sizable length of record. A better summary can be found in the Environme'ntal Data Base Directory (EDBD) issued by NOAA/NODC in 1973 and discussed subsequently in this text. A.2.3 BIOLOGICAL DATA NODC appears to have attempted the only file system for biological data readily available, although some specialized systems may exist at either private or institutional levels. !The NODC.capability is only bibliographic A request for the complete printout for Marsden 151 and 152 produced 778 biological references from'a total of 16,392 titles searched. The results of this printout will] be integrated into the re- port bibliography and appear in a separate Volume. An earlier request for this bibliographic printout in 1973 usi@g subject codes of "Gulf of Maine", "Passamaquoddy Bay", and "Bay of@Fundy" produced 38 titles from a total search of 13,899 titles. Only!a few of the latter are included in the broader larger search of al,1 ocean areas using Marsden Squares 151 and 152 indicating the difference resulting from the use of place name subject codes and the Marsden numbers., Contact.for more information: Millington Lockwood, NODC (202) 343-8345 A.2.4 GEOLOGICAL DATA NATIONAL GEOPHYSICAL AND SOLAR-TERRESTIAL DATA CENTER (NGSDC) Data that was formerly stored at NODC was transferred to NGSDC about 1972. A formal request to NGSDC for data located in the study area pro- duced an old catalog (NODC, 1968) which inventoried data up to 1967. Three inventory charts show these data (Figure A-3 to A-5). Listed are cores and grab samples. The actual printout was examined but we deter- mined that it was too raw a form to be of any immediate use. A more up-to-date catalog has been produced by NGSDC (1972). This document, Marine Geophysical Data Catalog, shows data for navigational bathy- metric, magnetic, gravity, and seismic data. NODC Part of the geologic data system still within NODC is the bottom.photo- graph records. A large number of bottom photographs have been com- piled in a computer access system. A request to this system produced 10 photo-citations in which only one was located in the Gulf of Maine. A section of the printout is given in Table A-12 as a sample. WHOI Probably the best data bank and precise cataloging of geologic samples is to be found at WHOI where data from the Continental Margins Program collected under auspices and funding of U. S. Geological Survey are stored. An exhaustive listing of samples including a variety of geo- logical.properties is given in a single summary document (Hathaway, 1971). Figure A-6 shows the sample location and distribution while Table A-13 describes the actual sediment properties available. An updated description of the techniques used in curating, digitizing, and photographic documenting can be found in Driscoll (1973), Johnson and Driscoll (1972), and Gilman (1973) respectively. A list of cores taken by WHOI-ONR submersible ALVIN of samples collected in the study area is presented on Table A-14. Contact at WHOI: Dr. Alan Driscoll, Supervisor of Core Lab.

Areas 6, 5, .4 (western North a A%tl dnt-10 are well covered. 111i sttori cal ly, records start in the mid 1800's and continue io the preset-it with periods of few@observations during WWI, WWII,.!and the Depression when there was little shipping. However, some quantum leaps in the volume of data appear around 1900, also after WWII and around 1961. Each of the 30 or 40 major maritime nations c6llects the forms from commissioned ships. Data are then copied andimailed to other nations. For mailed data there is a lag of 3 to 4 months for U. S. ships, and up to two years for foreign ships. However, National Climatic Center also receives all radioed weather information from:ships and has since April 1973 automatically put this information on magnetic tape. Although the data are current, the quality of this information is poorer than the wri tten forms. NCC also has synoptic data for a large region,from the Synoptic Data File (useful only on large regions with inferences made from missing data points). They also have a large bank in:microfilm and microfiche of satellite-gathered data. Parameters that m,ight be extracted from these data are: cloud cover, wind (inferred);, and sea surface tempera- ture. Skew points are usually cleaned from SSMO datla before summarizing. NCC .can provide many different formats and types ,of pointouts and plots. Old SSMO's should be carefully examined becaulse the cleaning process was not done. A sample of the type of data available for each one degree square follows on Table A-15. SSMO's are produced i1n collaboration with Naval Weather Service Command. We did not consider it within the scope of our study to obtain all 29 one degreesquares :necessary to cover our study area, but included the sample data onl@,. Several atlases con- tain many of the basic data and are readily available. In addition, all historical data for weather'stations can be extracted by hand. Such an effort was outlined Tor one station, Eastport, Maine as a sample by NCC. The type of data 0.e.,@barograms, thermograms, wind records) were listed by each year whichithey are available. Esti- mates for the actual search were about $400 6er station to produce all back records (W. T. Hodge, Personal Communicaltion). Table A-16 is a A-28 listing of the normally available data. Contact at NCC:. (704) 254-0961 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA SERVICE, NOAA (EDS) EDS is a relative of the NOAA family and closely allied with NCC. The raw data are compiled by NCC and EDS analyzes these for specific location's and make probability charts for storm frequencies and the. like. They al'so help with revisions of National Ocean Survey pub- lications incl'uding coast descriptions, navigationalhazards, and weather. A machine produced, annotated biblioqraphy was prepared for TRIGOM primarily for physical oceanography. A similar special search could be done for meteorological data. These particular titles were used for the physical oceanography sections 3.2 and 4,.3 of this report and appear in the KWIC bibliography in a separate vol- ume at EDS: Bob Freeman (202) 343-7614. BENDIX COMMERCIAL SERVICE CORP. A specialized ship routing service is conducted by Bendix using basic U.S. Weather Bureau data. Contact at Bendix: Fred-Pickhardt (201) 288-1550. A.2.6 ENDEX-EDBD A part of the EDS capability has been to prepare a special directory of data called Environmental Data Base Directory (EDBD) for the New York Bight Area. This rogram was compiled by NOAA/NODC for MESA (Marine .Ecosystem Analysis@. EDBD (1973) is a computer access system that lists the availability of oceanographic and environmental data that relate to the New York Bight. The major topics included are: Physical/Chemical Oceanography Biological/Chemical Oceanography Geology/Geophysics and Sediment Chemistry Chemistry (Water Column) Air/Water'Pollution Meteorology General A-'29 The first edition of the Directory was issued in September 1973 and contained information on data at 124 facilities, all with data per- taining to New York Bight. While there was the' stated intent to pro- duce subsequent updated versions of EDBD as of@our last discussion in April 1974, there is no second version contemplated (Millington Lockwood, personal communication). As an extension to EDBD, an additional task has been assigned requir- ing a visit to each of the 18 principal data r@positories in the New York Bight region (ma.inly within our study area) to catalog in greater detail and more accuracy theavailable data coptainedat each facility. This activity should show up in On-going Research, Appendix C.3. A.2.7 OTHER NATIONAL DATA BANKS As we mentioned previously, at the outset we did not intend to locate, assess, or evaluate all the data banks. One of the more recent studies that has done a credible job of this sort of listing is Interstate Electronics Corporation (1973) in a review of@data sources for water quality. We have contacted a portion of these: sources for information not only on water quality but for physical and chemical data. Table A-17 lists those data banks believed to be useful for BLM. We have not verified these data sheets compiled by IEC. A, more thorough investi- gation of several of these data banks was conducted as part of our analysis of Maine rivers including water quality and environment. These can be reviewed in our pilot study described in Appendix C.5. STATE DATA BANKS An increasing trend.among state governments, @,aced with a growing.-in- formation overload and access problem, is the'development of compre- hensive resource data banks. We were able toifind three states in the study region which have moved in this direction. These are: Maine, Rhode Island, and New York. These will be briefly discussed below., Others may exist in the study area but were n,ot evident in our investi- gation. Maine: MIDAS The Maine Information Display Analysis System (MIDAS) originally was developed by 'the Maine State Planning 04ice in cooperation with the Departments of Inland Fisheries andlGame and Marine Re- sources. It is a computerized information sy'stem including the natural resources area with some subsystems relatingito socio-economic. considerations. A list of the files contain,ed in MIDAS is presented below: Accident Fish and wildlife, boating, hunting and .Subsystem snowmobile accident @,eports. A-30 Species Fish and wildlife population and condition stibsystem of their habitat such as wetland inventory. Harvest Fish and wildlife harvesting information. subsystem Information is also available on the hunter and the fisherman. License Catalog of licenses obtained for fish and subsystem wildlife harvesting. Characteristics will. be available on hunters and fishermen for 1971. Land-Use Data available on current land and related Subsystem water use. Wetland and deer wintering area information partially available. Pollution Water quality data Subsystem Prosecution Detailed information about the characteristics subsystem of the crime and the disposition of the cases. For 1971-1972. U.S. Census The 1970 Census of Population an d Housing Subsystem Characteristics. by city and town ' countIy and State. Income data available also. Master Indicies City, town, county, river, lake, and other subsystem name and geographical area listings. These files are drawn from records of a number of Agencies, in- cluding t4e Maine Departments of Environmental Protection, Forestry, Health and Welfare, Marine Resources, Inland Fi,sh and Game, Bureau of Taxation; U.S. Departments of Agriculture,,Commerce and Interior (Bureau of Sport-Fisheries and Wildlife). A more detailed listing of data contained in each file is available from the Maine State Planning Office. Data may be retrieved for man-v of the files by town count or state planning unit. Access may be obtained through the @tate rV;n- ning Office by contacting Mr. Al Goodwin (telephone: 207/289-3261). Rhode Island: Environmental Inventory The Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program, in response to a directive from the Governor issued January 4, 1972, recently began the development of a computerized statewide environmental data bank. It will include "any element which is either a part of the environ- ment or may have an effect upon the environment." (written communic- ation, R.I. Statewide Planning, 1974). The system is based spatially on the Universal Transverse Mercator System (UTM) which is organized A-31 by a grid.with grid linesspaced one kilometer apartand subdivided into smaller units. The cell unit in Rhode Island is approximately 10 acres. Information is currentl being transcHbed to this grid y system and computerized. The following is a list of elements already coded along with elements tentatively planned@,for future codings:'. (written communication, R.I. Statewide Planni'ng, 1974). FY 73 general soil types (twelve groups) classification of present water quality (ten groups) 1961 land use (thirteen types) public water service areas public sewer service areas traffic zones (685 for entire state) FY 74 topography vegetation historic sites and areas, municipal zoning fresh water wetlands flood hazard areas FY 75 urbanized areas (1965 & 1970) 1970 land use transportation data (road type, volumes, access, etc.) watershed areas unique natural areas New York: LUNR Inventory The Land Use and Natural Resources (LUNR) Inven'tory was developed by tFY-L;orneii un1versity for the state bepartmentiof Environmental Conser- vation in 1969. It, like Rhode Island, is based on the UTM coordinate .system, and contains land use informa I tion on over 120 categories which break down generally into residential$ industrial, agricultrual, for- ested uses and natural.characteristics including soils, geology, topog- raphy, and hydrology (the hydrologic information is now in pilot study status, not accessible). Table A-18 details some of the information available. Data may be accessed by UTM grid, or by county. System access may be obtai 'ned through LUNR User Service, Cornell'University, 468 Hollister Hall, Ithaca, New York 14850 (807) 256-3364.

EXPLANATION OF ENTRIES (FROM NODC, 1973) Symbol MSq 'Marsden square DEG SQ One degree square according to Marsden Square System. Position of a current observation 'is determined by the computed median position. Mo Month DIR Direction octant to which the cur@,e'nt flows. N=3380 - 220 etc. Currents of less'than 0.1 knots are classed under CALM. Class Current speed (knots) in 14 class. ntervals. Example: Class Intervals -0.1 contains all currents of 0.1 and 0.2 knots. Currents of 4.0 knots and greater are shown under 4.0. The numbers shown are the numbers of observations falling into the respective class of speed and direction. SUM OBS The total number of cur-_-%=n@ observations for the one degree square and month is shown in the lower right hand corner under SLr,4 OBS. The'tota-1 number falling in each direction category (regardless of speed) are shown in the vertical column on the right. The total number of observations falling in,each category of -speed are shown in the horizontal row on the.bott6m. PCT OBS SUM OBS expressed as percent of total observations in the one degree square. MEAN SP The arthmetric mean speed of all observations in the respectiv e direction class. This and allot@er averages are based on the actual values of the individual current observations rather than on class values. MAX SP Maximum individual current speed reported for the respective octant. RC '(DIR) Resultant current direction in degrees. Direction of the aver- age resultant current vector obtained by arctangent approximation of the eastern and northern average current component. RC(DIR)= Arctan [V(E)/V(N)I. A-94 TABLE A - 9 (cont'd) RC (SPEED) Speed of average resultant current in knots. RC (SPEED)= V(N)2 + V(E)2 AVG SPEED Arthmetric average of current speeds (regardless of direction) in knots. V(N), V(E) Average northern and eastern component of resultant current speed. V(N)= (speed x cos. direction)/no. of observations.

TABLE A - 15 (cont'd) Financing Work for Non-Federal Agencies, Private Firms or Individuals (Including Foreign Countries) The National Climatic Center, an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the Department of Commerce, is authorized to perform work for non-federal agencies, when the work load permits, and the customer service involves climatological data. Briefly, the applicable regulations are as follows: a. All work performed shall be on a reimbursable basis. b. An obligating document, e.g., Purchase Order, Purchase Requisi- tion or letter, authorizing expenditures for work requested, should be forwarded to the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Center, Federal Building, Asheville, North Carolina 28801. c. For single work requests, the cost of which is estimated at $500.00 or less, the estimated cost will be accepted as a firm cost and the - . requester will be billed the quoted price by the National Climatic Center. In exceptional cases where there is an immediate need for the desired data a telephonic commitment by the requester to accept billing will be accepted by the National. Climatic Center in lieu of an obligating document. d. For single work requests,.the cost of which is estimated to be in excess of $500-00, the requester is required to furnish an obligating document before any work can begin. The customer will be billed for the actual. costs of the job by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis- tration Finance Division, Rockville, Maryland. If it becomes evident that additional funds will be required to complete the project, the requester will be advised. The requester will also be advised, as soon as possible, if there is a significant balance remaining, which may be used to finance additional work, if requested. e. Open accounts may be established to cover a combination of single work requests, the total cost of which is estimated to be in excess of $500-00 each year. This is accomplished by preparing a blanket Purchase Order in an amount covering the cost of anticipated needs for Meteorological and/or Climatological Data for each Fiscal Year (July 1 - June 30). When the account is established, the National Climatic Center will provide the customer a monthly status report showing the approximate costs for data furnished during the month and the approximate balance remaining in the amount contracted. Invoices (Standard Form 1114) covering actual charges for data furnished will be issued by our Finance Division, Rockville, Maryland, as soon as possible after the end of each quarter. There may be minor difference 'between the costs shown in the status reports prepared by.the National Climatic Center and the actual costs billed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Finance Division.

Introduction This index has been prepared as a part of ENDEX, Ahe Environmental Data Index Experiment. Its purpose is to automate the indexes of environmental and geophysical data to efficiently serve the needs of atmospheric and earth scientists. All of the hourly aviation, synoptic. supplementary airways, and similar observations available in manuscript form at the National Weather Records Center are listed in this state index. In deciding about the inclusion of unusual records, those which would help in plotting detailed synoptic weather maps were included; those s i milar to cooperative climatologi'9al daily observations were not. Indexes of the latter will be digitized as another project. Autographic charts and traces have been included in this index, since values of temperature, pressure, wind. humidity and so forth, could be extracted for the kinds of studies this index has been designed to aid. One of the most valuable parts of this index is the station history information contained in the latitude- longitude and station elevation columns. Many of the earlier station indexes are incomplete in this regard. Extensive research went into the effort to pinpoint the locations of the stations. The assistance of the Weather Bureau Regional Offices in this regard is gratefully acknowledged. Users who find inconsistencies in the station history information are asked to call them to the attention of the Chief, Climatic Information Section, WArRC. The records covered by this series of indexes form the major file of.meteorological data within the United States. Begun by the Army Signal Corps in the late 19th century, some of the records have been preserved and passed on by the government agencies that have followed. The records that are filed by the National Archives are not indexed here. Nearly all of those are for the years before 1900. Copies of the records can be provided at the requester's expense in a number of forms including paper copy, micro- film, microfiche, punched cards and magnetic tape. For costs. or information, write Director, National Weather Records Center Federal Building Asheville, North-Carvlina 28801 2. Description of Indexes Alphabeti The alphabeticlisting utilizes the narnes of the weather station preparing the observations. This is often the name of the city or community; oceasionally, it is the naine of a military installation, an airport, ora geographical feature. Cross- referencing has been inserted to help the us.er. For a given station, the records are listed in time arrangement gives a quick. lild alm(N t order.

A- 119 TABLE A 16 (cont'd) By'Yea The records are listed from the oldest to the newest to readily show which nre available for studies based on many years of data. This arrangement also expedites the selection of records wjhen studying particular storms of the past. By, referring to a specific year, all available records can be seen. : An interesting feature of this index is the way in which it shows the expansion of the national meteorological network. From few entries per year in the early times, there is a marked increase with the advent of commercial aviation in the 1930.1s. The many.stations shown during World War If and the post-War era are followed in most states by a shrinkage due to retrenchment in the more recent times. By Latitude This index is abbreviated to give names and station history data for locating weather observing points on a geo- graphical basis. This supplements the map. By Elevation This index will aid those looking for observations characteristic of certain altitudes above sea level. 3. Explanation of Entries Station Name Long names were abbreviated. Commonly used abbreviations are: AP, APT - Airport Lk -Lake Cty - city LS - Light Ship/Station Fld - Field Mt -Mount, Mountain Ft - Fort Nk - Neck Rb - Harbor Rck- Rock Is - Island Rvr - River LE Sta- Light Boat Station Type The type of weather station. This is sometimes best described by naming the service which operated the station.

"Hourly" Records by Month These are the records usually made for aviation purposes and are the most detailed observations made. Because of their irnpoctance, they have bven indexed in greater detail than th@@_, offier records. A nurnber entry nican% that records are on file for that month. The value of the number is a code v.-hich tells the number of records observations taken pur elay.

Number of Months in Year-wit-h: The records in these categories are so voluminous that it was felt an abbreviated index would suffice for nearly all purposes. In these columns, a 12 means that records are on file for every month. A blank means that no records are on file. 08 followed by a group of 12's will nearly always mean that records began in May of the first year and were continuous thereafter. Numbers higher than 50 mean that the records exist only on microfilm. In such cases, 50 has been added to the number of months available for that year. Synoptic Form Form 1033. This usually gives 4 observations per day in the special code used for reporting weather internationally. Examples of the forms are given in the publication listed previously under the explanation for "Hourly" records. Intermediate 3-hourly observations are soinatim0s included on the form; from July 1939 to December 1948 the 3-hourly observations may appear on a companion form (Form 1082). Some stations omitted the nighttime observations. Laymen find these forms difficult to use because of its special coding and the fact that times are often in GMT. "Hourly" records, if available, are usually preferable. Aleteorolo-ical Summar Form 1001, and/or 1002, andfor 1014. These are the comprehensive station records kept by first-order Weather Bureau stations from 1892 to. 1948. A few stations have continued a modified form. Examples of the forms are given in the publication listed previously under the explanation for "Hourly" records. A similar military record, Form 1, is also indexed under this category. Barogram. A continuous record of pressure in which the oscillations have been traced by a pen on a moving sheet of paper. In the older records, a 1-inch change of pressure was shown as a I-inch change on the chart. Beginning in 1936, the older instruments were replaced by microbarographs which magn ified the change 2 1/2 times. At Weather Bureau stations, each chart formerly contained 4 days record. The exact times of pressure changes with squall lines, thunderstorms and other phenomena were hard to read, so the chart commonly in use toda3lfis accelerated to rotate once each 12-hours. Two traces appear on each chart since they are changed daily. thermograms A continuous record of temperature. A variety of charts has been used through the years. First-order stations are no longer required to operate thermographs. During the years in which thermograms were considered an official record, they were carefully annotated and the periods are nearly complete. In recent years. some instruments appear to be out of calibration and there are gaps in the series of forms. Most being received now are from cooperative stations that have volunteered their records. Triple Register Most of the records indexed under this column are the daily sheets from the station meteorographs, sometimes Yrown also as a quadruple register since they recorded wind direction, wind speed, sunshine and rainfall. The oldest records are from single registers which recorded speed only; from two-magnet registers which recorded wind speed, rainfall and sunshine; and from double registers (anemographs) which recorded wind direction and speed. The most recent records of this type are in the form of long strips torn from continuous rolls in daily increments- Wind Recorder These show a continuous trace of wind speed as opposed to the triple register type of equipment which is based on an electrical contact opening and closing with the passage of each mile of wind. These records have not been quality controlled and there have been problems of calibration, lack Of aLinotation and improper time registration. Many of the records do not contain direction traces. For some stations, direction and speed are on different rolls. Humidity Recorder The-se are instrumont charts v.-hich give a ineasurement of relative humidity oi- dew point. Those of the hygrotherm- o.graph type usually contain an adjoining record of temperature.

STATE-OF NEW YORK NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER, GOVERNOR OFFICE OF PLANNING SERVICES RICHARD A. WIEBE, DIRECTOR 488 BROADWAY ALBANY, NEWYORK 12207 MAY 1972 A- 14`9 WHAT IT IS: The Land Use and Natural Resource Inventory is an information system showing detailed land uses, plotted on maps and coded for computer data handling, for all of New York State. WHY IT WAS DONE: Late in 1966, Governor Rockefeller requested the Office of Planning Coordination, with the cooperation and coordination of other interested agencies, to develop a natural resource inventory of the-state. The need for such an inventory had become evident. Earlier research by OPC turned up only spotty information of this. type on a statewide basis. What had been gathered varied widely as to dates and could often not be compared because classification systems were incompatible. SOURCE OF INFORMATION: Aerial photography, supple- mented by existing maps, field checks and current reports. Initial upstate area flights were made in the spring of 1967, but most of tile photos were taken in the spring of 1968. Long Island and New York City were photographed in 1969 and 1970. MAPS: Two types of transparent overlays at a scale of 1:24,000 I inch = 2000 feet). Outlining 51 categories of land use by area and 79 categories of special information by point location, are used over standard U. S. Geological Survey 3 7.5-mintue quadrangle maps. COMPUTER PRODUCTS: Two types - tabular lists and sum maries of data and computer graphic maps based on a one-square-kilometer grid system. The lists identify desired data to specific grid cells and provide totals such as acreages or counts of point data items. Computer maps print out data as distributions (by kilometer units) and can Select cells by type. Supplementary data is available either in list or map form. SOME TYPICAL USES: This type of information is already proving useful in locating parks, recreation, and sanitary, land fill sites: routing utility lines: selecting alternate high-, way corridors: choosing subdivision sites: Studying wildlife, habitat: preparing zoning maps: conducting watershed studies: and in may other public and private applications.

APPENDIX A.3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS A.3.1 INTRODUCTION During the course of the study we were able to obtain a sampling of Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and Environmental Reports (ER) from many of the major projects in New England. These documents,' es- pecially in the case of nuclear power plant ER's, provide a wealth of compiled data from a wide range of sources, as well as some original @survey data not otherwise published. Following is a discussion of the sorts of data that are available and the site localities where a speci- fic baseline of environmental data now exist. A.3.2 TYPES OF REPORTS AND KINDS OF DATA The list of these reports received and reviewed is presented on Table A-19. The locations of these proposed developments and facilities can be seen on Figure A-7. The type of data presented varies widely from one state to another, presumably based on differing state requirements and to some degree on how recent the ER is; more detail appears, generally, in the most recent reports. Many of the major applications such as power plants and refineries also have extensive hearing records and documents introduced subsequent to the original application that do not show up in these ER's. In cases where thorough coverage was pro- vided, such as SEABROOK ER in New Hampshire, we passed all these rele- vant data from the report to our various chapter authors. However, the more broad comprehensive treatments of large geographic areas were not always the best place to include detailed nearshore or terrestial site-specific data. The two principal types of reports received are the ER for nuclear and conventional power plants and the EIS for dredging spoil @disposal. The more extensive of these have reviewed most of the current and previous literature in the general vicinity both for marine and terrest*ial topics. They are therefore excellent sources of local site-specific data. In the following selected tables extracted from the Seabrook Power Plant Environmental Report prepared for Public Service Company of New Hampshire, we cite sections of the Tables of Contents with topics rele- vant to our inventory as a-sample of valuable source data. These'appear in Table A-20. A-151 N) 74* 72* 70 0 680 64e 64?

A survey of the epibenthos in the Hampton-S6abrook estuary. 6) A survey of the finfish in the Hampton-Seabrook estuary. 7) A botanical survey of the Hampton-Seabrook estuary, salt marsh, and nearby offshore waters. Studies conducted during 1970, reported in Seabrook Ecological Study: Phase 11, 1970-71 (Normandeau Associates, Inc.,:1971) emphasized environmental factors thought to impinge significantly upon stability and maintenance of the soft-shelled clam, Mya arenaria, population and recreational fishery. Phase III studies conducted in 1971 and early 1972 reported on in a series of technical, reports (Seabrook Ecological Study - 1971, Technical Reports III-1 through 111-8) dealt with several aspects of the ecology of the marsh, estuary, and offshore waters. Specific,- ally, they reported on: ..Technical Report III-1 Soft-shelled Clam Spat Density Technical Report 111-2 An Assessment of Zooplankton Abundance and Exchange (between) Hampton-Seabrook Estuary and Nearby OffshoreVaters Technical Report 111-3 Soft-s.helled Clam Density Technical Report 111-4 Marsh Disturbance Study Technical Report 111-5 Primary Productivity in Hampton-Seabrook Estuary A-162 TABLE A-20 (Cont'd) Technical Report 111-6 Day/Night Zooplankton Study Technical Report 111-7 Fish Larvae and Eggs of the Hampton- Seabrook Estuary - 1971 Technical Report 111-8 Soft-shelled Clam (Mya arenaria) Larval Studies In addition, the Phase III document included a Progress Report on the preliminary bioassay of marsh peat extract. Studies currently being conducted are discussed in "Environmental Study Program, Hampton-Seabrook Estuary and Near Offshore Waters, 1972" (Normandeau Associates, Inc., 1972) and consisted of: 1) Ecological Survey of the Benthos Offshore of the Hampton- Seabrook Estuary in the Area of the Proposed Intake and Discharge. 2) Studies of the Soft-shelled Clam in the Hampton-Seabrook Estuary including Density and Distribution, Age-Growth, Re- cruitment, and Larval Ecology. 3) Studies of the Effects of Marsh Peat Extract on Estuarine Animals. 4) A Census of Finfish Offshore of the Hampton-Seabrook Estuary in the Area of the Proposed Intake and Discharge. 5) A Study of'the Lobster Fishery in the Area of the Proposed Intake and Discharge Lines. 6) A Study of Estuarine and Nearby Offshore Plankton in the Hampton- Seabrook Area. 7) A Hydrographic Survey and a Survey of Plankton in the Neritic Zone Along the Coast of New Hampshire with Emphasis on the Area of the Proposed Intake and Discharge Pipelines.

We chose several courses of attack to see which could pro- duce the most useful results. By identifying programs just beginning or underway only one or two years, we believed we@could show areas where future data should be generated. Since many of the results will not be in the published, scientific literature for one or two years, knowledge of on-going programs enabled us to correspond,with principal investigators and receive technical reports, drafts, and open file reports. Following is a listing and description of the programs and services we used. C.2 SMITHSONIAN SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION EXCHANGE (SSIE) This organization, a part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, is chartered to receive periodic notices of research contracts primarily governmentally funded but including a few private companies. These notices state project title, funding agency, group and principal investi- gator conducting the research, and a one-page abstract or description of the project objectives, techniqUes, and methods. If available, the dol.lar value of the contract for the present fiscal year is given.; The SIE notice does not contain results of the research project but only a description.of the on-going act,ivity. We -found no way to determine how thorough or complete the coverage of the SSIE service is. Nearly all federal.agencies are required to cooperate by supplying notices, yet we doubt that the coverage is thorough. To our knowledge, no SIE notice of this present BLM study appeared in either our November or April search. No definite conclusions have been attempted nor did time per- mit a thorough analysis of the coverage or comparison with known con- tracts. We did use the notices as sources for que@ry of research reports, papers or technical memos. The notices are arranged by state in Attach- ment 1. There were a total of 335 notices in the'study area. Our most ,recent search was performed in April 1974. C.3 MESA/NEW YORK BIGHT The multi-disciplinary, five-year intensive study of -the New York Bight has been underway approximately one year by NOAA and other related fed- erally funded.agencies. Relatively little in the:way of research re- sults have been produced so far. Attempts to obtain planning documents, task statements, and detailed survey plans met withlittle success or aid from the MESA/NYB office at SUNY. The best summary of related on- going research of the New York Bight is to be found in NOAA's Directory of Current Research (1973). This preliminary document is simply a C-4 listing.of SSIE notices (see C.2). This document is arranged by disc,i- pline and contains 98 notices for the New York Bight. We did not at-: tempt to compare these with those notices produced for our larger study area. A recent booklet (NOAA 1974) issued by the MESA office covers the services, programs and data available from NOAA on the New York Bight. It contains a brief description of each program element. C.4 NEW ENGLAND COOPERATIVE COASTAL RESEARCH FACILITY (NECCRF) This is a group of 20 institutions in New England which has been formed as a regional consortium to operate a coastal research vessel under the University National Ocean Laboratories (UNOLS) program of NSF. In pre- paring tKe proposal for a jointly operated ship, NECCRF member institu- tion (12 major participants) listed the on-going or proposed research programs for all of New England. Some of these may overlap slightly with the SIE notices. The NECCRF list is presented as Attachment 2 of this Appendix. C-5 APPENDIX C.5 MAINE RIVERS BIBLIOGRAPHY - A PILOT'SURVEY C.5.1 INTRODUCTION A noted resource economist-has observed that over a*period of years the amount of oil actually used as a percentage of total oil reserves has remained fairly constant. He also explained the reason, one which only becomes a part of visceral knowledge when one is engaged in a similar search: as one finds more of a given resource he also dis- covers that there is so much-more yet to find (up to a certain point, of course). So it is with information on Maine rivers. This biblio- graphic search has so far unearthed 36.7 percent of all the informa- tion sources presently available; further effort,would undoubtedly exceed the 36.7 percent level. From the search, it appears there is an endless array of projects and documents. The topographic diversity of Maine rivers, from fiords to flat forested valleys, political diversity such as intr-state, interstate, and international rivers, and demographic diversity from relatively pristine headwaters to metropolitan regions provide a rich fabric of geophysical, bio-ecological, and �ocial-political relationships. However, there is another area of diversity less attended: the river as a problem. We either have too much water or ,not enough; we have water which is polluted and waterways which are no longer suitable for fish or recreation; we have flooding and we have flood control projects which do more damage than the floods; we have large undeveloped hydro-power capacity and old hydro-power dams which are being left to decay in the rivers. Since nearly all these problems, such as building on flood plaint, stream channel- ization, and pollution are man-created we might @onclude that they can be man-solved. The following text and bibliography is intended as an approachto solving the problems of our rivers. C.5.2 INTEREST GROUPS INVOLVED IN MAINE RIVERS A summary of various interest groups and their activities is shown in Table C.5-1. The table identifies research/p6licy making sectors and river uses (problems) and presents their inte'rrelationships in matrix form. C.5.3 ACCESSIBILITY OF INFORMATION Perhaps the most readily accessible information is on groundwater and geology simply because the United States Geological Survey and the Maine Geological Survey have put the published and unpublished data in such good order. In spite of the relatively large number C-6 Table C.5-1 Maine rivers:, who is doing what.

Also, equally responsive to public informational needs are the state wildlife ag.encies including the Departments of Inland Fisheries and Game and Marine Resources. Not only are their published reports and informal reports.made readily available but these agencies go out of their way to answer all inquiries. 'On the other hand in two pressing problem areas, flooding and pollution, the data gathering task is more difficult. The United States Soil Conservation Service with its stream channelization program and the United States Amy Corps of Engineers with iheir various dam building projects have exemplified man's attempts to control nature. Water resources planners, attempting to keep up with the latest information and techniques are devoting major .efforts to flood plain delineation. This involves a radical de- parture. Instead of striving to reduce the size of flood plains through physical stream control measures the accent has been on reducing the amount of unnecessary and poorly designed building on flood plains. Such a new perspective cannot be formulated immediately. Flood plain delineation programs are so poorly formed that none of the agencies principally responsible know exactly what is going on. Information on pollution is quite another matter. The problem with retrieval.of information on pollution is that it is largely located in regulatory rather than public service agencies. The primary responsibility of regulatory agencies is to control polluters rather than satisfy the informational needs of special constituencies. How- ever, the United States Environmental Protection Agency at the Region I headquarters in.Boston does have some information about EPA programs in the State of Maine. In discussing retrieval of pollution data we found that programs as large,as three million dollars may be over- looked. (Personal.communication, March, 1974). Unfortunately, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection is even less able to disseminate information. A vast quantity of reports and studies are generated by its activities through this agency. Surprisingly, one must search the large repository for most of the reports himself. C.5.4 TOPICAL SUMMARY OF MAJOR WORKS This section briefly describes some of the major works completed or in process which pertain to Maine Rivers. The discussion is arranged by topic. C-9 GROUND WATER Work by Glenn Prescott for the United States Geological Survey gives the.most extensive picture of Maine groundwater quality and quantity. Caswell of Maine Geological Survey is continuing with in-depth work for the State Planning Office begun in Knox County; eventually he may be able to provide a more detailed groundwater picture for Maine coastal counties. Two U.S. Environmental Protection Agency studies on groundwater quality are still in progress. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY Maine is water rich.- at least for the time being. The last major drought in the Northeast prompted the NEWS study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see references in C.8). Further creative thinking on this sort of question has led to a@conference on water diversions (NECUCD), while at the same time water supply problems raised in connection with new industrial.siting, i.e., soup manu- facturing and oil refining, have caused some-pOople to ask if Maine actually has enough clean water left to be diverted elsewhere. Most of the information on this matter resides in the files of the Maine Department of Health and Welfare who are concerned with the quality of municipal water supplies, Mait),-, regionai planning commissions who have ongoing water studies, and various private interests., Some of the latter are: local water companies, hydro-electric companies, .and.those paper companies who con'trol large volumes of river flow. Also importwi.- sources are the published and file records of the U.S. Geological Survey. FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT The other side of the water supply,problem isione of too much in the wrong place. Floodplain problems are of greatest concern to the federal agencies. The U.S. Geological Survey,has a series of reports on historical floods and is involved in a current program of mapping flood-prone areas. The U.S. Department of HoU 'sing and Urban Develop- ment has contracted similar mapping work as arfirst step in its flood insurance program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in addition to its flood control projects in the past, has allready conducted at least two flood'plain delineation studies, has' contracted for several others, and probably has sufficient information to do more work partic- ularly on the Androscoggin River. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service through its regional Resource Conservation and Development Programs has a large amount of flood plain mapping work planned in addition to its Small Watershed Program which includes stream alteration devices for controlling floods on smaller tributary,streams. C-10 SURFACE WATER QUALITY Although the municipal wastewater treatment plant construction grant program is tangled up in a maze of federal agencies, the basic respon- sibility is fairly straightforward at all levels of government. At the national level the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides the following: (1) a stored data bank on municipal and industrial wastewater dischargers (together with information from various in- stream sampling programs) (2) a series of ongoing water quality modelling projects (3) permit applications under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) (4) hearing records, most of them unpublished, on enforcement conferences and on the issuance of permits under NPDES (5) effluent monitoring data required for NPDES permits will eventually become available through EPA (6) miscellaneous special research reports (7) several newsletters on their activities (8) various report's on the setting of discharge standards for polluting industries At the state level, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) can provide the following information: (1@ all the original and revised classification reports on Maine rivers and coastal areas (2) interim river basin plans (commissioned by EPA) (3) river basin implementation plans (essentially an arranged compilation of the agency's historical materials on each basin) (4) a series of annual reports ending in 1969 @(5) a file of license applications and licenses issued under various environmental regulatory laws: site selection, wetlands, wastewater discharge, minimum lot size, mine rehab-ilitation, oil terminal operation (6) a file of monthly operation reportsfor Maine's municipal wastewater treatment plants (7) data on oil spills. (8) data and sometimes reports on the ag@ency's water quality sampling program (where special intensive efforts have been made) (9) a file of engineeringreports on all Maine municipal wastewater treatment plants. 00) a file of various reports bearing on,industrial wastewater discharge and treatment in Maine (11) an annual report to EPA on the Department's water quality planning program Regional planning commissions all have some committment to.regional sewer and water planning; while the private sector, the University of Maine at Orono, and the Maine Pulp and Paper Industry have done much of the water quality research. Two other,items are worthy of special note. Oil spill information is available from the Maine Port authority, the organizations of Maine oil,terminal operators, and Sea Coast Ocean Services, (an oil spill clean up company), as well as from the DEP. Hunter and Goodnow's,Maine Water Resources Plan (1969) is also recommended (see extensive'references in Chapter 17.1). RIVER CORRIDOR LAND USE AND SOILS: The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is conducting soils mapping. The Maine DEP and Land Use Regulation Commission which is concerned with unorganized territories, have acquired even greater powers of control over new uses of Maine land and thus are in the process of collecting land use information, building files on land use applicants, and re- fining land use guidelines. One of the most recent statutes having mo5t relevance to rivers is the Shoreland Zoning Act. Since this is meant to be administered on the municipal level, various state agencies and the University of Maine at Orono (Environmental Studies Center) have teamed up to provide towns with information and funds through regional planning commissions. Reviews of the information and expertise available are being pre- pared for rivers, lakes, and the coastal zone, and soils. With the end of the federal "701" program funding for town planning commissions. Their work and that of local conservation commissions at the town level in open sp .ace planning has great,potential:l for Maine rivers and streams particularly where it can integrate with shoreland C-12 zoning and flood plain delineation work. BIOLOGY/ECOLOGY The State has assumed leadership in wildlife,management with two agencies dividing up the responsibility geographically. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Game has completed a series of freshwater fish and waterfowl management studies, while the Maine Department of Marine Resources (formerly the Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries) is responsible for marine species and commercial fisheries. The offices of Maine Atlantic Sea-Run Salmon Commission, and the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife are located either on or adjacent to the University of Maine campus; the Univer- sity's Department of Wildlife Management interpenetrates state agencies; and one organization, the Maine Cooperative Fishery Unit, Js a complete integration of all' three. The University through its various biological sciences departments has also been cooperating with other state agencies and with private industry to look at a range of problems and organisms from the development of macro- invertebrate sampling techni ues (for the DEP) to the development of biological baseline-data Vor the mini.ng@ and@ nuclear power industries)@. The paper industry's role in thils sort of research is presently undefined. NAVIGATION The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the most prominent agency in Navigational studies. Relatively few projects have been conducted on erosional beach studies. The Corps is chiefly responsible for harbor maintenance dredging project. A list of these latter appears in'Appendix A.3 HYDRO-LECTRIC POWER When the Dickey-Lincoln hydro-electric project was recently revived. everyone soon discovered that the only place to get adequate informa- tion was from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers., The two other sources on hydro-storage.capacity are the U..S. Federal Power Commission Bureau of Power, with its series of bookl.ets covering all the major basins, and the major electric companies, Central: Maine Power and Bangor Hydro-Electric Company, with most of their data residing in private company files. A few other reports on-electric power in general are of interest. @RECREATION The main branches of all major Mai-ne-rivers, have been cons.idered fit for neither canoe nor camper. Recreattonal considerations have moved upstream to the Allagash and the upper Penobscot. With increasing C-13 pressures to clean up pollution and reclaim open!,pit mining oper 'a- tions perhaps the U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, the Maine De- partment of Parks and Recreation,, the Regional Planning Commissions, and the Natural Resources Council of Maine may reorder their priorities anddo some to river studies. PLANNING Multi-Agency, multi-purposes comprehensive studies seem to come in twenty year intervals. The "308" studies of the,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1930's, the New England-New York Interagency Committee report in the early 1950's, and the Noi,,tt".1i Atlantic Regional study in the early 1970's, are examples. These programs appear to be largely motivated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. C.5.5 SUMMARY OF MAJOR WORKS ARRANGED BY BASIN For the purposes of organizing this bibliography,on Maine rivers we have divided.the State into eleven basins. Four@of them are large basins, four small basins, and three collections@of minor coastal basins as shown in Figure C.5-1. The major point of difference between this geographic division and other -systems is where to fit Penobscot Bay and whether to deal separately with certain sub- basins, most notably the Little Androscoggin, the Sebasticook, the Aroostook, and the Allagash. Each basin presents its own special research significance in terms of the individual'problems. ANDROSCOGGIN RIVER BASIN Gone are the days when people had to evacuate sections of Lewiston and Auburn during critical summer periods due to@ he pollution of the Androscoggin River. Dr. Walter A. Lawrance, irecently appointed river master handling such problems, points out the reason for the improvement has been the conversion of the major pulp mills from the sulfite to the Kraft process, not court ordered controls, federal intervention, or enlightened industrial management. In spite of the change, the dirty river tradit-ion continues. It is likely this attitude prompted the first. Miaine Rivers Guide Plan to be done on the Androscoggin. Certainly.. it led to the formation of the Maine Sanitary Water Board, a precursor to the Maine DEP, as well as a federally sponsored tjater quality enforcement conference, and Dr. Lawrance's research. Today the A'ndroscoggin Valley Regional Planning Commission continues ,%,ith its research and programs on waste disposal, water and set,,,er planning, storm water runoff, cor- ridor land use and shoreland zoning aid to municipalities. C-14 KENNEBEC RIVER BASIN The Kennebec runs through the capitol city of Augusta. Though. the proximity of the Kennebec has sparked many proposals, few have received legislative approval. The list of submitted pro- posals includes proposals for corridor planning by the Natural Resources Council (NRC); proposals for regional wastewater handling by DEP; proposals for flood control, proposals for use of prin- cipal storage capacity by New England Regional Basins Commission (NERBC); and general proposals to do something positive with the Kennebec. So far the Natural Resources Council of Maine.and the Maine DEP have not met with much success on their ideas nor have the proponents of pumped storage. Howard Trotzky of.NRC tried to change this with his campaign to get the logs off and out of.the River, and perhaps the North Kennebec Valley Regional Planning Commission will have some success with its investigation of corridor control measures for non- point sources of water pollution. PENOBSCOT RIVER BASIN The University scientists at Orono are not faced-with the same predi- cament as the Augusta policy makers and instead the Penobscot River has become Mai-ne's river laboratory. The attractions of the Penobscot Bay have proven particularly powerful with studies conducted by the Maine State Planning Office, Maine Geological Survey, and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The lower river and estuary has seen two major University studies, one designed to maximize the rivers waste assimilation capability, the other to mini- .miz6 the cost of wastewater treatment and handling. Three ongoing biological studies are concentrating on the upper river. In additon there is the continuing work of the fishery biologists of the two State agencies to monitor water quality and restore Atlantic Salmon. The EPA sponsored one enforcement conference on the estuary and in so doing gathered information on bacterial and organic pollution loading and effects. SACO RIVERBASIN Maine's model river, the Saco, had become so prior to any legislative action. Part of the answer may lie in Toynbee's theory of history. Here one sees on a small scale what happens when enough of a threat is offered so that people feel challenged, yet the threat is not so great that they feel overcome by it. The minimal threat rivers such as the Penobscot and Kennebec and maximum threat rivers of the Pre- sumpscot and St. Croix offer the contrast. The challenge on the Saco has,been one of the increasing land development pressures felt both because of the expanding megalopolis of the old.exurbanites to the C-15 south and changing life styles of the new counterculture. The response has been the organization of the Saco River Corridor Association and its planning efforts which wasiforeshadowed by Haskell (1969). This means that a whole series, of river-related problems arising from land development can be handled in a compre- hensive way which includes water pollution, flooding, erosion, and recreation. PRESUMPSCOT RIVER BASIN On a small river the discharge of a single pulp:mill can make a great deal of difference. Such is the case with the Presumpscot River. The S.D. Warren Paper Company at Westbrook probably has collected the most inforTnation on the river and its varying environmental conditions. These include flow rates from its dam operation, biolo- gical studies and monitoring of physical and chemical water quality parameters. Perhaps a DEP-S.D. Warren cooperative study during the. summer of 1974 may give some insight into what is actually happening on this river, particularly during the critical summer period when the dam is shut down, as well as highlighting where real information gaps still exist. , ST. CROIX RIVER BASIN Most of the information so far developed onthe@st. Croix, another mill dominated river, is publically available. Asborn (1972) made good use of the work of the International Joint Commission's Advisory Board on Pollution Control, while the EPA has conducted an extensive sampling program on the river. PISCATAQUA - SALMON FALLS RIVER BASINS Approximately three quarters of the Piscataqua River Basin is in New Hampshire, thus one must turn to the New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission for information from its special reports on the River, files, and monitoring reports by private in- dustry. SOUTHERN COASTAL RIVER BASINS Th.e rivers between the Piscataqua and the Androscoggin Basins, ex- clusive of the Saco and the Presumpscot, comprise the Southern Coastal Basins. This is a rather arbitrary category, those rivers being neither geographically unified nor sharing a common problem. There has been geological work on the Harraseeket and the Scarborough (Farmsworth n.d.; Farrell, 1970), a recreational,.study on the Royal River (GPCOG), and water quality monitoring on the Mousam, Nonesuch, And Scarborough Rivers (Cullo; DEP). Also, the threshold to Maine Resource Conservation and Development'Project (S(S) has been very C-16 active throughout the whole of southern Maine in a number of major and minor basins on programs ranging from flood plain delineation to upgrading water quality standards. MID-COASTAL RIVER BASINS There are some areas that are better left to make their own statement. So it is with the mid-coast region from Merrymeeting Bay to Penobscot Bay. To gain some appreciation of this, one need only look at a map. The laboratories in the area have quite naturally concentrated on biological and geological studies, much of it oceanographic rather than riverine. This includes the National Marine Fisheries Service at Boothbay Harbor (this laboratory was transferred to the State of Maine in 1973.) with work on the Sheepscot River; Maine Sea and Shore Fisheries, now the Department of Marine Resources at Boothbay Harbor, with work an shellfish and mercury monitoring; and the Ira C. Darling Center of University of Maine at Walpole with work on various estuaries and intensive studies for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Plant on Montsweag Bay, Wiscasset. NORTHERN COASTAL RIVER BASINS Lying between the Penobscot and St. Croix basins are a number of relatively u-ntouched, unpolluted, and unstudied coastal rivers. Aside from the Narraguagus River where there is ongoing water quality work (Diamond, see ongoing research), fisheries restoration (ASRSC), and a study on macroinvertebrate fauna (Gibbs, see ongoing research), the bulk of other recent research has been Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Game work on fisheries management. SUMMARY This brief review of river projects and research is both superficial and selective. It is superficial since many relevant major reports have not been included; it is selective because a complete literature review would be both endless and pointless. Some of the areas purposely avoided have been lakes studies (Wallace and Strunk have the definitive work here), meteorology and climatology, geology other than that speci- fically related to water resources, historical works, and political economic information in general. C.5.6 BIBLIOGRAPHY The following is the listing for all river basins including multi- basin studies and areawide programs. C-17 AREAWIDE STUDIES KEY WORD Anderson, Burton R. and E.

Abstract: This project will determine the impact of coolant waters from the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Plant on the principle commercial fishery near the plant, the harvesting of sandworms and bloodworms. A detailed field program will relate temperature profiles in the water column and intertidal sediments to worm distri- bution, behavior, gametogenesis and reproduction. In a comprehensive laboratory study worms will be subjected to physical conditions simulating those near the plant. Worms will be studied under both constant and fluctuating temperature regimes. Investigations include acclimation, modifi cations of metabolic rates, behavior, growth rates, gametogenesis, reproduction and development, and deter- mination of critical thermal maxima on various life history stages. HOW INFORMATION WILL BE APPLIED (Be specriic): The field studies will determine whether the warm water discharge from the nuclear plant has altered nearby populations of sandworms and bloodworms. This information will assist state and federal regulatory agencies in determining whether Maine Yankee has complied with its licensing requirements. Both field and laboratory studies will provide new information about these species that will assist many state and federal agencies in the planning,, siteing, licensing, and regulating of future power plants.

Woodard (address above) C-112 BLM Form 5 I. Statement of Goals and Objectives A. General Goals 1. To develop a comprehensive plan for water.quality monitoring, data processing, and ultimate water quality control for the Penobscot River Estuary. 2. To provide the Department of Environmental Protection the capability of monitoring the quality of water in Maine rivers and estuaries and the capability of pre- dicting water quality in light of hypothetical or expected events. 3. To enhance the state of the art with respect to the application of systems'engineering to water quality monitoring and control. B. Central Operational Objectives 1. To validate a predictive mathematical water quality model for the Penobscot River Estuary 2. To select necessary in-stream sampling, telemetering, data processing, and computing equipment for a functional river basin management program. 3. To develop the details of a program for monitoring and control of the water quality in Maine rivers and estuaries. 4. To implement the program by transferring all acquired equipment, skills and capabilities to the Department of Environmental Protection. C. Specific Objectives (These objectives are itemized to illustrate the steps required to attain the central operational objectives.) 1. Refine the computer programs used in the execution of the mathematical simulation and optimization models making them more easily useable by the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection to manage the water resources of Maine 2. To determine, through laboratory studies, oxygen uptake rates (Kl) for Penobscot River water at different points and at different times of the year. C-113 3. To determine, using laboratory and field studies, accurate reoxygenation rates (K2) for Penobscot River water at different locations and at different times of the year. 4. To determine, using laboratory and field studies, accurate data on lxygen production from algal activity in Penobscot River water-In different locations and at different times of the year. 5. To determine, using laboratory and field studies, accurate diffusion coefficients for Penobscot River water at dif- ferent locations and at different times of the year. 6. To determine, Using laboratory and field studies, accurate eddy diffusion coefficient data for Penobscot River water at different locations and at different times of the year. 7. To conduct a series of dye studies to determine the waste- water plume dispersion characteristics in the Lower Penobscot River and Estuary. 8. To develop a model which is.capable of simulating waste- water plume dispersions and which will become, an integral part of the water quality simulation model. 9. To conduct a series of computer runs to determine oxygen levels in the Penobscot River and to compare these results to actual data obtained in the field. 10. To select two points in the Penobscot River Estuary where water quality monitoring apparatus should be located. 11. To evaluate water quality monitoring equipment which are considered to be accurate and reliable which could provide necessary informafion for real time input to the mathe- matical models. 12. To select items of equipment based on the above evaluation 'providing that the results of the evaluation show that a full-scale monitoring system would be reliable and worthwhile. D. Specific objectives to be addressed during Phase II. 1. Evaluation and updating of water quality simulation model will continue as carried out in Phase I. 2. The river water quality sampling'work will continue as in Phase I with the following exceptions: a. Sixteen points will be sampled rather than eight. C-114 b. More emphasis will be placed on gathering DO and BOD data while less emphasis will be placed on gathering K1data. 3. General sets of data input will be prepared based on conditions which exist at certain times of the year. 4. The following studies will be carried out during the months of July, August, September and October: a. Aeration (K ) studies will be carried out at the sites of the Veaz?e and Bangor overflow dams. Results show- ing the influence of the tidal cycle on reaeration at the Bangor dam should be interesting and valuable. b. Extensive work will be carried out to determine differences in DO concentration and temperature at different locations in the cross-section at selected locations in this study area. 5. Continued use of dye studies will be employed to study the wastewater plume dispersion characteristics in the study area. 6. The water quality simulation-model will be rewritten to include the simulation of wastewater plume dispersion, both from point discharges and from outfall diffusers. 7. Water quality. monitoring equipment which are considered to be accurate and reliable will be evaluated by onsite observation and by communication with present users. 8. Water quality monitoring equipment will be selected for use in a full-scale monitoring system based on the above evaluation, providing that the evaluation shows that the purchase of such equipment would be worthwhile.

The New England Consortium.on Environmental Protection (NECtP) is an unincorporated body formed by fourteen member colleges and universities in New England: Boston College, Boston Uni- versity, Brown University, Dartmouth Col-lege, Harvard.Univer- sity, Lowell Technological Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, Tufts University, Uni- ve'rsi.ty of Maine, University of Massachusetts,.University of New Hampshire, University of Vermont, and Worcester Polytech- nical Institute. Its purpose isto stimulate educational programs and to provide information and assistance to the public, in the field of environmental protection. Organized in 1970, in response to encouragement from the National Air Pollution Control Administration, the Consortium has now expanded its concern from air quality programs to all environmentally- oriented efforts. in 1973 the Consortium published the Directory of Investigators and Environmental Activities (Meadows, 1973). This. 119 page report lists on-going e.nvironmental research at each of the member institutions including the department, the investigator, and the project, The listing is arranged by school in the first section and by project topic in the second, to facilitate cross- reference. Constant efforts will be made to keep the informa- tion current. Theodore H@ Rider, Lowell Technological Research Institute Research Foundation, Lowell, Massachusetts is the managing director. A description of the resources file question- naire is given on Table C.6-1. C.7 U. S. ARMY CORPS OF, ENGINEERS INVENTORY The Center for Natural.

ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS In response to the New England drought of the 1960's, the 89th Congress authorized the Northeaste.rn.Unite.d States,Water Supply (NEWS) Study on October 27, 1954, under Title I of Public Law 89-298. The study is yet ongoing, and is intended to assure adequate supplies of water for the metropolitan centers which had experienced problems during the drought. It includes those river basins in the U. S. which drain into Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean north of Chesapeake, the St. Lawrence River, and Lake Ontarto (see Figure C.8-1 and C.8-2). Priorities for problem areas have been established on the premise that work will be done first in areas in which projected demands for water in 1980 will probably exceed supply capabilities. Areas in this category are: Eastern Massachusetts Rhode Island Northern New Jersey - New York City Western Connecticut South Central Pennsylvania Metropolitan Washington, D. C. Studies completed and ongoing are listed in Table C.8-1. A second priority effort, called the "Long-Range Study", has been under- taken involving an evaluation of areas not seriously affected by the 1960's drought, but which could be Potential problem areas by 2020. The study was conducted by Anderson-Nichols and Company, Inc., and a series of draft reports issue.d, dated November, 1971. Table C.8-2 lists the areas considered in these reports, within the BLM study region.

Engineering Feasibility Report on Alternative Regional Water Supply Plans for the Northeastern New Jersey-New York City-w Western Connecticut Metropolitan Area (Joint Venture) (Metcalf & E.ddy-Hazen & Sawyer) November 1971 Reprinted May 1973. This investigation was performed to develop feasible engineering a 1 te rnati ves fo r wa ter s upp ly sys tems to meet the domes ti c and industrial water needs of the study area to the year 2020. It was specifically stipulated that the selection of alternatives be based solely on engineering considerations,, without regard to restrictions of law, jurisdictional authority, boundayy limits, or details of project financing. Nearly 50 water supply projects were described, of which fourteen were examined in de- tail ; from the latter, seven illustrative regional water supply programs were composed and displayed. -($9-'75). 3.

C-179 C.9 NEW ENGLAND RIVER BASINS COMMISSION COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES C-9.1 SOUTHEASTERN NEW ENGLAND STUDY (SENE) The Southeastern New England Water and Related Land Resources Study is a comprehensive federal-state planning effort for the most densely populated area o-l' New England (see Figure C.9-1). The study covers nearly all of Rhode Island, about forty percent of Massachusetts, and a small part of Connecticut. The New England River Basins Commission, under the authority of the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965, is the coordinator. The objective of the study is the formulation of a plan for managing the water and related lands of the region, developed through the optimization of two alternatives: one emphasizing econom- ic and one emphasizing environmental concerns. The plan is being de- veloped through a series of phases, listed below: (1) Develop environmental and socio-economic framework; (2) Develop resource inventory and analysis; (3) Formulate preliminary single-purpose alternative plans; (4) Formulate preliminary multi-purpose alternative-plans; (5) Review and refine preliminary multi-purpose alternatives; (6) Produce a best economic and a best environmental plan and formulate a recommended plan; and (7) Review and transmit recommended plan with major economic and environmental plans detailed to provide a basis for choice. Progress on the study is reported by NERBC in their 1973 Annual Report: During the past year, SENE study participants pursuing this comprehensive approach, have been collecting information and analyzing resource issues for each of ten major basin planning areas in the region. For each basin, a team of state and federal resource agency professionals and SENE staff plani.,ars prepared reports on fifteen individual resource issues. Some of the issues covered included flood piain and groundwater management, coastal and wet- lands resources, recreation, water supply, water quality power. navigation, transportation, fish and wildlife, minerals and others. Information on each of these issues has been placed on maps large enough to permit identifica- tion and comparison of resources between towns and thus allows problems and conflicts to be seen from a regional point of view.

C.9.2 LONG ISLAND SOUND STUDY (LISS) The Long Island Sound Regional Study is a comprehensive planning effort by federal government, and New York and Connecticut, led by the New England River Basins Commission. The study area is shown on Figure C.9-2. The goal of the study is "to produce a plan of action by Janu- ary, 1975, which balances the needs to protect, conserve and wisely develop the Sound and its related shorelands as a major economic and life-enriching resource for the 12 million people who live near it." The study, similar in nature to the SENE Study, has completed its in- ventory stage and has published a "Bibliography for Planning" (NERBC, 1973b) and a series of interim reports including the following: Soils (NERBC, 1973c) Sources and Movements of Water (NERBC, 1973d) Erosion and Sedimentation (NERBC, 1973e) Recreation (NERBC, 1973f) Mineral Resources and Mining (NERBC, 1973g) Electric Power Generation (NERBC, 1973h) Flood Plains (NERBC, 1973i) Scenic and Cultural Resources (NERBC, 1974b) Water Supply (NERBC, 1973c) Water Quality (NERBC, 1974d) Transportation (NERBC, ?)

The designated recipient state agency to receive these federal funds is the State Planning Office, Coastal Planning Group. The award of this con- tract in the amount of $230,000 was the third made to the states after the creation of CZMO. Preparation of this coastal plan is the result of previous work by ihis group beginning in 1970 with Phase I Report, and including the Penobscot Bay Resource Plan (1972), and Maine Coastal Resources Renewal (1971). The Maine Coastal Plan (1974), the proposal for the subsequent work, is divided into three sections: (1) Overall Program Perspective, Current Program (2) Elements (3) Analysis of CZM Act in relation to Maine Various parts of the current elements are already underway in the form of inventories. Most of these activities are being conducted by other State agencies with the CZMO funds. These elements are: (1) Land and Water Capability Analysis ... Bedrock Geology Surficial Geology Soils Slopes Watersheds and Water Classification Forest Types and Land Use Facilities and Activities Wildlife and Marine Resources (2) Applied Research for the Coastal Zone'... Marine Environments Aquaculture Suitabilities Biological Tolerances Coastal Lakes and Great Ponds Coastal Hydrology Marine Water Classification Scenic and Historic Inventory Recreation and State Critical Areas Socio-Economic Research (3) Local and Regional Citizen Participation The following is taken from the Maine Coastal Plan (1974): "The Maine Coastal Plan is an evolving strategy for reconciling the many conflicting uses of Maine's coastal resources. It is a two-pronged effort aimed at generating and compiling environ- mental data and using this information as a stimulus to public C-191 policy formation. These activities constitute the forma- tive elements of the Coastal Plan and are in various stages of progress as described in the previous sections of this application. Resource Limitations and Opportunities "A final element of the Coastal Plan will synthesize the re-. sults of the Land and Water Capability Analysis, Applied Research for Coastal Zone Management, and Local and Regional Public Participation Programs. "Preliminary syntheses will identify conflicting activittes in the coastal zone. The method used will be a combination of data overlays and possibly resource-use matrixes. "Opportunities and limitations will be identified on sepa- rate maps and published in the various resource Plans for each coastal planning area. Cross reference between the re- source opportunity and limitation maps and the.basic data maps in the Resource Atlas will indicate the specific nature and extent of the opportunity or limitation. This interpre- tation will be aided by suggestions for Various groupings of suitable activities geared to specific resource situations. Environmental Zones "Final synthesis will result in the division of the.coastal zone into four resource management categories. These cate- gories will be designated by the Coastal Planning Group. "This program would.bear an obvious evolutionary relation- ship to the Mandatory Shoreland Zoning Law which requires the towns to zone their shorelines (salt and fresh in conformance with minimum State guidelines.. Under existing law, any land use zones and accompanying performance standards established by the Coastal Planning Group would be simply advisory in nature, giving both the state and the towns some guidance in granting variances under existing laws. This is especially necessary as it is the pattern of variances granted at both state and local levels that will determine the ultimate effec- tiveness of laws such as the Mandatory Shoreline Zoning Act. Furthermore, using this information, the state will have a basis for measuring the adequacy of local ordinances in protecting key natural resources."

This rift system and associated sedimentary basins apparently are part of a linear fracture belt which developed along the eastern margin of the North American continent In the Late Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic. It is believed that the tectonic forces which folded and faulted the sedimentary strata in these,structural basins also are responsible for the rifting of the crust that lead to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean. These Triassic and Carboniferous rift basins within the Gulf of Maine will be investigated using seismic reflection and oblique-reflection profiling, magnetic, and sampling techniques. These data subsequently will be used to construct geologic and tectonic maps of the onshore and offshore regions of the northeastern United States and Canada in an attempt to better understand the early history of the continental margin.

To develop and test new equipment to measure geotechnical properties of deep sea sediments in situ from research submersibles (vane shear, cone penetrometer, transmission gammaray densitometer, etc., to depths of 3.4 meters), 2. To establish two specific relocatable areas on the sea floor and to determine the geotechnical properties and their variabilities, for the purpose of systems testing of instruments and equipment whose successful operation depends at least in part on the bearing strength and/or settlement characteristics of sea floor soils. 3. To make this information available to potential users (industries, qovernment agencies and universities) through publications, demonstrations. 4. To establish a computerized data bank for world-wide geotechnical properties of sea floor soils. How information will be applied: Industries and others developing bottom-resting devices, new anchoring systems, etc., will be able to. test the operation of these devices in known qeotechnical environments in easily accessible locations before deploying them at their ultimate sites, It is very difficult to simulate soils with realistic geotechnical properties in Pressure-testing tanks, Accomplishments during the Past twelve months; 1. Two in situ probe systems have been designed, developed, constructed, tested and successfully operated to specifications on DEEP QUEST off San Diego and on ALVIN in Gulf of Maine. 2. The Vane Shear Probe has worked to design penetrations of 3.4 m, and the combination Cone Penetrometer and Transmission Gamma-Ray Densitometer has worked to design penetrations of 1,2 m, 3, 5 dives with DEEP QUEST were made in October 1971 and 4 dives in June 1972 with a total of 28 stations occupied. 6 dives were made with ALVIN in July 1972 with a total of 18 stations occupied. 4.

This entails occupying the station from a research vessel, water sampling, and measuring the environmental parameters. The physical, chemical and biological factors associated with plankton growth in the. temperate waters of the Gulf of Maine are being explored with special reference to the understanding of biochemical mechanisms involved. This study entails measurement of photosynthetic rate, the distribution of biochemically active nutrients, and rate-limiting activities within the system. Associated with the biological studies are measurements of temperature, salinity and assessment of the vertical transport within the water mass. Of particular Interest is the environmental factors which stimulate spring and fall blooms, as well as those associated with the decline of the bloom, Timing and duration of the blooms are of interest and the resulting data is of use on a comparative basis with other areas. Results: The observational proqram has been going on for a period of 18 montbs. In both years (1971, 1972) sizeable spring outbursts occurred in. APril. The difference in timing between the two years was within a few days. The spring outburst is accompanied by a mammouth decrease in the amount of nitrate In the waters which has suggested that the declining Populations are nitrogen deficient. In 1971, the nitrogen deficiency (ammonium enhancement, measurements showed no or little adverse effect after the decline of the spring bloom, However, 1972 showed a marked ammonium enhancement, The difference between the two Years appears to be due to the fact that a greater amount of the fixed form of nitrogen was removed in the second year than in the first, SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE SIE NO.

OBJECTIVE: Survey bacterial populations of Maine aquatic. and estuarine environments; develop methodology for analysis of aquatic and estuarine bacterial populations; correlate water quality with bacterial populations. APPROACH: Characteristic-bacterial species will be isolated from. aquatic and estuarine environments. These will be characterized and suitable selective and differential media will be adapted or developed for a quantitative analysis of the bacterial populations. Samples from selected environments will be analysed.for size and composition of the population. Results will be analysed with respect to environmental parameters with particular attention paid to pollution. PROGRESS: Plate counts, using the spread plate technique, were obtained from water samples taken from lakes of different trophic states. Standard agar media for freshwater plate counts were compared with gelatin agar, with and without supplementation. Maximum counts were obtained, with few exceptions, on unsupplemented gelatin agar. Pigmentation was poorest on this medium. Incubation at 23 C for 14-21 days or 15 C for 21-28 days produced maximum counts. Preliminary screening showed that randomly selected isolates were predominantly non fermenting, gram negative rods. Further characterization is in progress, together with a comparison of the eftect of plating procedures upon individual organisms and the entire aquatic population. Polymyxin has been employed as a selective agent in the study of populations of intertidal zone bacteria. A slowly growing polymyxin resistant population has been observed; these bacteria do not appear on non-polymyxin containing media and are inhibited by rapidly growing polymyxin sensitive bacteria. 10 160 10 WATER-QUALITY POLLUTICN ESTUARIES MICROORGANISMS WATER AQUATIC-BACTERIA 1016010 MARINE-BACTERIA SELECTIVE-MEDIA DIFFERENTIAL-MEDIA BACTERlA AUTOCHTHON0U 016010 S-BACTERIA WATER-POLLUTION POPULATION-DENSITY COUNTING POPULATION AQUATI 016010 C-ENVIRONMENT CUANTITATIVE-ANALYSIS SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

Determination of larqe-scale circulation patterns in Green Bay and the northern half of Lake Michigan under actual (or model) wind stresses of differing force and direction, and (when desired) in combination with forcing action of observed water level changes at the mouth of the Bay, 2. Verification of the model by comparison of its output with recorded motions (level fluctuations and currents) at selected points, 3. Provisions of physical data needed by other investigators. Termination of project is expected in 1972. How information will be applied: The recently renewed interest in using the bay of Fundy for the generation of tidal power has raised the question of modal behavior of the Bay oscillation near its mouth. A solution of this problem will be of great Practical importance in determining the effect of engineering structures on the tidal amplitudes and on the amount of power which can be generated from them. The Green Bay study is the first, to the investigator's knowledge, which has considered these "bay mouth" conditions, We find that in Green Bay an expected mode does not in fact exist, The striking resonant oscillation of Green Bay, therefore, turns out to be a co-oscillation involving the whole of Lake, Michigan. It may turn out, therefore, that. the Day of Fundy oscillation also involves the Gulf of Maine and Perhaps a large portion of the Continental Shelf, and that the Green Bay study, which was terminated by the Sea Grant Office on the grounds that it seemed to be an enterprise in basic science, may have practical applications in coastal engineering. Accomplishments: This study, for which funding terminated In August 1972, is now being Prepared for publication, first in the form of a report and later in a scientific journal.

OBJECTIVE: Assist in the development of a system of mariculture for selected species cf shellfish that have potential for commercial production on the Maine coast. Develop new food products, by-products and processing methods for utilization of shellfish. Determine market potential and consumer acceptance of shellfish products. APPROACH: As a contributing effort to an overall sea grant project on the development of a commercial system of mariculture for selected species of shellfish, the departments of Agricultural Engineering, Agr. and Resource Economics, Animal Science and Food Science will participate in the engineering, food technology, and marketing aspects of developing a total mariculture and marketing system. Work will include hatching mechanization, development of submersible rafts, harvesting techniques, new product development, processinq techniques, consumer acceptance, and analysis of marketing system. Selected species will include European oysters, Cancer crabs, Blue mussels and scallops. PROGRESS: Growing oysters in trays successful on a trial basis and seems more practical than reattaching oysters to a board. Mobile service raft developed and tested for mechanizing submerged tray culture system. Collected data on market conditions and potential for half-shell oysters in U.S. markets, Montreal, and exploring prospects of export to France. Made analysis of variables affecting oyster consumption and developed predictive equation for use in estimating consumption. Raw scallop viscera ground, dried. Chemical analyses shows value as protein supplement feed but preliminary feed trials resulted in paralysis of chicks and high mortality. Later tests with autoclaved viscera were excellent, Suspect enzyme thiaminase in raw material caused thiamin deficiency in preliminary tests. Mussels tested for keeping quality in ice, vs. sea water at 32 and at 50 F. mussels acceptable after 13 days on ice but not at 17 days; acceptable after 10 days in 32 Sea water but not at 13 days; acceptable after 3 days in 50 sea water but not at 6 days.

It is intended to develop a means of assisting restoration of the river rather than simply controlling or stopping deterioration of the river If the research is successful the river can be considered in either of two ways; active restoration would allow the river to handle even more waste without violating the stream classification; or, the same amount of waste could be discharged into the river but the water could maintain a higher classification than Is now possible, This new study will be extended to the entire tidal estuary and the dynamic interaction between the ocean and the river, ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

The availability of the right kind of food at a given time is more critical for the larvae than for the adults and could be an important factor in determining the size of the year class, The MARMAP ichthoplankton survey Is designed to provide a balanced system of broad-area low intensity sampling supplemented by high intensity "zoom" studies relating to specific hypotheses, This approach will lead to an understanding of the factors controlling the abundance levels of resource Populations, and allow for more rapid predictions of the status of living marine resources# A Part of the study will provide information on the spawning abundances, times and Places of the more abundant fish species in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Approach: The initial step towards reaching this goal has been taken by the National Marine Fisheries Service under the MARMAP Program, The University of Maine Ira C. Darling Center, will sort, enumerate and identify to family taxon (and where possible to species), fish eggs and larvae collected on MARMAP cruises in the Gulf of Maine, Dr. Hugh H. DeWitt of the University of Maine will be responsible for supervising the sorting and processing the samples by graduate students.

In the northern New England region the tradition of the independent lobsterman is extremely strong, and the livelihoods of many coastal families depend on the lobster. Therefore, before lobster culture Is commenced on a commercial basis, any maricultural Program, especially when supported by government funds must seriously address itself to the socio-economic problems of the lobstermen Information on the status of the lobster.fishery should be, consolidated,.the impact of mariculture on the fishery should be evaluated and approaches to include the lobstermen in any mariculture effort should be studied. This study is intened to be a cooperative effort among other universities and agencies and the seed money requested will be used to develor contact with all individuals and organizations presently involved in lobster mariculture and the lobster fishery, After contact is made efforts will be made to determine the need for and desirability of planning and carrying out such a cooperative study If deemed appropriate, requests for funding for the study will be made before June, 1973.

Zoogeographical investigations include computer analysis to relate recurrent groups of species to particular water masses, Speciation studies involve the use of the methods of numerical taxonomy to elucidate intraspecific variation and interspecific variation. By such means the investigator proposes to identify morphologically similar populations and species with the view to formulating hypotheses on I speciation within the Candaciidae. Simultaneously rearing experiments are being conducted to distinguish between environmental and genetic effects on adult morphology, Additionally, collections of deep water calanoid copepods are to be obtained from the Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent northwest Atlantic Ocean in order to further examine the species composition of the Mediterranean basin, the vertical distribution of the species and the extent to which they have diverged from North Atlantic populations. At the same time, the specific areas in or near the bottom where planktobenthic copepods typically live is to be studied in detail in order to make possible precise collections of these animals and thus to understand fully the local and geographic distributions of the species in bottom depths between 500 and 2000 meters off the coast of Massachusetts and Florida. In a broad sense,s this data will contribute to our interpretation of marine food chains and secondary production in the oceanic environment and will provide, as well, a meaningful background for speculation on the evolution of life in the sea. 4qJSG ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

This research is designed to yield on annual organic carbon budget for a 5 km main stem section of the river using the ecosystem compartment model approach. All organic matter inputs and outputs, as well as seasonal changes in organic matter storage will be monitored for two years. This will require measurements of meteorologic inputs (precipitation and litter fall) geologic inputs and outputs (organic matter in stream water and groundwater), and biologic inputs and outputs (primary production and respiration). The storage and flux data will be assembled in budget form to provide short and long term views of the metabolism of the ecosystem. The approach used is designed to generate a holistic context ohich will be used in further compartmentalization of the system. Detailed studies of intrasystem processes will take Place after the system is better understood. Ultimately the goal is to expand the study to include nutrient budgets as well and to model the system using independent variables such as channel morphometry, substrate type, temperatures, discharge and hydrologic regimes turbidity, inorganic nutritents and land use as predictors of stream metabolism.

To measure relative abundance, movement and recruitment of estuarine sub-adult flounder in Waquoit Bay-Fel Pond. To analyze the number of fin rays in dorsal and anal fins in probable variation in the Young flounder. Approach: For the third Year surface and bottom plankton samples were obtained bi-monthly, April-June, from eleven Nantucket Sound stations. Flounder eggs and larvae from all samples have been extracted and counted. For the first time reliable quantitative data was made available following the acquistion of a General Oceanics Digital Flowmeter for our benthic plankton sled. Stations were also monitored for younq-of-the-year with an experimental beam trawl July-September. We believe three years' effort and data, particularly that obtained during the Past Year, are sufficient to fulfill the objective of this study. Segment Five work will be aimed at write-up of this data and our conclusions. The winter flounder population in Waquoit Bay-Bel Pond has been intensively studied since 1969. Our work has centered on defining the age structure and population through mark-recapture studies and the tagging of 1,216 recruqitable (age II and III) fish. Final segment efforts will be directed towards an assessment of recruitnent of Waquoqit Bay-Eel Pond flounder to the offshore fishery attained through two methods. One will involve a comparison of the number of recruitable fish to overall stock recruitment, the latter being derived from a population estimate using tag return data and the total instantaneous mortality rate, which can be calculated from survival rate estimated from the release of tagged flounder in two consecutive years. The second method will involve yield equation work- Sheet methodology, using catch records and tag return data to estimate mortality, combined with other vital statistics and growth parameters of flounder south of Cape Cod, In large part the analysis Is predicated on official catch statistics in statistical sub-unit areas.

The investigator will test the hypothesis that the lower diversity of the former community results from the virtual absence of a functionally dominant secondary carnivore which in turn results from a relatively unpredictable environment (as compared to that experienced by the latter community). The two main components of this test will be (1) an analysis of a typical North Atlantic rocky intertidal community (in Maine) and (2) a comparison of this community to the already well understood Northeast Pacific community. The research proqram to be undertaken in the North Atlantic community includes (1) measurements of the predictability of resource availability for primary and secondary consumers, (2)construction of and comparison between energy budgets of the potentially functionally dominant carnivore (Asterias forbesi) in in the subtidal habitat (presumed optimal) and the intertidal habitat (presumed sub-optimal) and (3) an analysis of the causes of the observed patterns of community structure in Maine. The proposed research program is based on field (and some laboratory) experimentation supplemented by observations and measurements of fundamental natural history phenomena, a powerful approach of proven value.

The maps prepared from 1971 aerial photography will provide ground truth for training in interpretation of Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) imagery. Approach: Develop and test the use of aerial photogrammetric techniques as a tool for identifying and classifying agricultural, forest and wet lands; mining and waste disposal areas, as well as urban land and outdoor recreation sites. Determine changes in vegetation and land use which have taken place since the state was photographed and mapped in 1951 and 1952 by a similar system. Establish predictions of future rates and patterns of change for major land-use types based on changes over the past 20 years. Population growth and construction of I transportation facilities will be used to help predict future change. Provide vegetative cover and land-use maps of the entire state for watershed managers,foresters, wildlife biologists, resource planners and others interested in the environment. Study urban growth and decay, especially the situation in the urban-agriculture or urban- forest interface in Massachusetts. Progress: Specifications for aerial photography for Massachusetts were prepared, a contract for the flying was let, and aerial photographs were inspected for quality as they came -in, and then filed for easy I access. The land-use classification used for the Connecticut River (MS-8) was refined and improved. Two photo interpreters, one with Viet Nam experience, began field reconaissance and land-use typing on July 1,1971. Three more interpreters went into training on September 1, and two technicians began transferring the land-use types from the annotated photographs to USGS maps on the same date. All hands are now working on Plymouth County and it should be completed sometime in February. As soon as Plymouth County is completed, the maps will be reproduced and a publication will be prepared so that Plymouth County can be considered a pilot study for the whole state.

Locational considerations and impacts will be ascertained. Evaluation of social and private benefits and costs of seasonal homes on environment of the shoreline will be stressed. Future market potential for seasonal homes will be assessed and alternative planning arrangements analyzed. Approach: Identification, classification, sampling and questionnaires will provide basis for determining relationships between environmental factors and shoreline seasonal homes. Varying environmental products of seashore estuarine areas will be studied for their susceptibility to modification and their reversibility. Benefit-cost analysis will be employed to assess allocation and incidence of public and private benefits and costs associated with seasonal homes. Alternative institutional arrangements will be determined and their impact tested against existing arrangements. Optimal planning considerations will he studied for balancing multiple use of the coast line in Rhode Island. Progress Report: The low cost housing study is leading to basically negative results in the sense that there does not appear to be any substantial savings in the housing construction industry, except at the expense of quality or choice. A more important problem, is to examine what savings are rather than construction since construction costs are only a part of total ownership costs. This is being done and will be completed by this summer. ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

One is the design of a physical (and eventually a biological) monitoring system for the Rhode Island Coastal Zone. Such a system would have a variety of uses, including pollution control. It is not our present intention to implement fully such a monitoring system, since this appears to be a task better suited for a state or federal agency. However, we do expect to operate a system sufficient to assist in the development and verification of the various physical and biological models previously discussed. Our plan is to develop a limited operational capability by the summer of 1970 using standard instrumentation and processing techniques where possible, in order to gain operational experience. At the sate time we will be undertaking limited development work in instrumentation and data processing; these developments will be fed into the operational system as practicable. The predicted state of the bay from the analytical models will be compared with the available data and new data from the bay instrumentation system. ISG SMITHSONIAN SIE NO.

The long term objective is to produce a mathematical model which can predict hydrodynamic, thermal, salinity and oxygen changes in the Bay as a function of location and time. The analytical model of the Bay must include all types of equations, algebraic or possibly stochastic in nature, which accurately model the turbulent transport. Although there is already considerable work reported in this area, it will be necessary in Narragansett Bay to have supporting equipment to verify these models and, in the case of specific pollutants, data which refine presently proposed models. A pilot study of a three dimensional hydrodynamic model has been successfully completed for the Harbor of Refuge at Gallilee. A similar model is being constructed for Narragansett Bay and Providence River. To assist in the development and verification of mathematical models, the "Bay Watch" Program is developing a limited capability to measure various physical, chemical and biological parameters. For ease of operation, the majority of the initial experiments are being conducted in West Passage. ISG TAPE INPUT 281 SMITHSONIAN SIE NO. SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE,INC. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

APPROACH: A set of 16 sediments and 8 soiils will be sequentially extracted, and the fractions obtained will be characterized by physical and chemical properties. Two fractions will be studied by the methods of lithium reduction and sodium hypobromite oxidation. A model system involving an Actinomycetales isolated from a sediment will be studied. This organism produces a water-soluble, yellow-colored exudate that has many properties similar to several fractions of sedimentary organic matter. PROGRESS: Serial extraction and partial analysis of eight sediment samples (three anaerobic, three aerobic, and two soils) has been completed and the data have been compiled for statistical consideration. Five organic fractions have been obtained from each sample and each has been analyzed for total mass, ash content, and C, H, and N contents. A study of the organic matter-metal chelates of zinc and copper in Narragansett Bay sediments has been initiated in order to characterize the organic moieties those fractions of high molecular weight, require a suitable method of degradation. To date, apparently the most satisfactory method developed involves the cleavage of intermonomeric bonds by reduction with metallic lithium in an ethancl-benzene solvent system at temperatures from 125 to 175 C. Yields of the order of 40 to 50% are typically obtained. Four fractions (acidic, neutral, basic, and amphoteric) have been obtained by solvent fractionation, with further fractionation accomplished by thin-layer chromatography. 016010 CHEMICAL-ANALYSIS CHEMICAL-PROPERTIES PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES ACTINOMYCETES 016010 CHARACTERIZATION FRACTIONATION BIOCHEMISTRY ORGANIC-MATTER SEDIMENTS HUM 016010 IC-ACIDS EXTRACTION TRANSFORMATION SOILS BENTHOS 021001 00000000 SMITHSONIAN TAPE 11 INPUT 281 SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE STE NO 1730 M STREET, N.W.

APPROACH: Map four or five salt marshes of somewhat ditferent types. Records will be taken of species of plants, areas occupied by them and possible stages of succession. Animals will be rccorded with reference to species that breed in Rhcde,Island and the temporary or migratory species. Take soil samples for determination of soluble salts from marked plots within the different zones of vegetaticn, at least three.times during the year. Correlate salt levels with species found. Use marking substance to indicate whether the marshes are being built up by sediment and accumulation cf organic matter, or are being hed away. Collect saffples of soil and vegetation for determination of total organic matter to help clarify the status of 11 salt marsh pat. By of sand boxes on a sand flat area, explore the conditions under which salt marshes can be built. PROGRESS:. Considerable effort was spent taking photographs of salt marsh species and in determining what species are present on specific salt marshes since we do not have data from a formal biological survey. Spartina alterniflora survived in some of the s sandboxes in spite of I severe scouring. This work needs repeating with refinements in the original design. 016018(8) MARSHES ECOLCGY FLORA FAUNA SOILS VEGETATION SALT ORGANIC-MATTER ECOLOGY 10146010 CONSERVATION RECREATION SEDIMENTS #RD-1 02100l ocoooooo SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

Long-term fisheries survey: To compile and make available a survey on the distribution and abundance of benthic fishes in Narragansett Bay. To evaluate long-term variations as function of climatic change and environmental alteration, Now information will be applied: l. Less than half of the total particulate organic matter suspended in estuarine water is Phytoplankton; detritus, the major fraction, must be evaluated as an energetic input to filter feeders, an essential compartment in the ecosystem model. 2. Records of fisheries abundances, species contributions and water temperatures have been applied in studies on the environmental impact of a proposed power plant in Narragansett Bay. These records are also being used as background information on the life history and ecology of sport fishes. Accomplishments during past twelve months: 1. The Marsh fishes Fundulus majalis and F. heteroclitus have a diet that is composed of five parts detritus to one part live, invertebrate tissue (Palaemonetes pugio). 2. Juvenile menhaden appear to ingest Pore detritus the further they move into an estuary. 3. There is a 6-year cycle of abundance in the winter flounder population of Narragansett Bay; the cycle is related to small changes in mean water temperature. 4. Abundances of the winter flounder and lobster in Narragansett Bay are positively correlated.

APPROACH: Using uniform regional procedures, collect secondary data on services of central importance to rural development throughout the region. Select localities of variable population change patterns in the region and describe selected services within these in terms of organization, quality, financing, accessibility and mix of services. Use appropriate statistical and other techniques for comparative macro- and micro-analysis of quantitative and qualitative data to isolate factors that could be manipulated to improve services. On the basis of theory, literature and available data, identify existing and potential institutional arrangements in the region for delivery of selected services. Analyze each alternative arrangement in terms of benefits/costs, efficiency of production and representation of various groups of citizens and efficiency in reconciling conflicting views and values. PROGRESS: In attacking the regional concerns on the nature and availability of personal health services, 1967 and 1970 county data for Connecticut were updated to 1971 and reanalyzed by comprehensive health planning districts. Physical facilities of non-metropolitan general hospitals and nursing homes are increasing significantly. Numbers of nursing homes, however, are declining. To an increasing extent, new and larger nursing homes are being owned and managed in groups rather than singlely such that the health care organizational structure for nursing homes is becoming more oligarchical. For the housing component of the regional project, 1960 and 1970 tabulated census data by counties in Connecticut were checked prior to publication in the forthcoming regional report on housing. 016010 SERVICES ALTERNATIVES ECONOMICS SOCIAL-ECONOMICS PUBLIC-SERVICES #RD-1 R 016010 URAL-COMMUNITIES COMMUNITY-SERVICES RURAL-DEVELOPMENT DELIVERY SOCIOLOGY SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

The Connecticut Valley Urban Area Project is one of several U.S.G.S. projects undertaken to demonstrate the importance and usefulness of natural resource information in planning for the development and management of land and water resources. The project area is more than 5000 square miles and extends from latitude 43 degrees in southern Vermont and New Hampshire southward to Long Island Sound, between longitude 72 degrees 7 1/2' and 73 degrees. The boundaries coincide with those of 7 1/2-minute topographic quadrangle maps because most of the geologic and hydrologic data are compiled on this base. Also, this base permits various combinations of natural-resources maps to be used as overlays at a common scale. The project is designed to meet a variety of needs for earth- resource information in planning and resource management, but should not be considered a substitute for detailed site investigations. Natural- resource data will be presented at two scales: 1:24,000 (one inch equals 2000 feet) and 1:125,000 (one inch equals approximately two miles), for local and regional use, respectively. The 1:24,000-scale maps are available on paper and also on transparent, scale-stable base to accommodate use of the maps as overlays. The 1:125,000-scale maps will be compiled as final products of the project and will be accompanied by an orthophoto mosaic map of the entire project area at 1:125,000 scale. Because the earth-resource maps will be used for planners and educators (predominantly by non-technically oriented users), simplified earth-resources maps are being prepared. For the non-geologist, standard geologic and hydrologic maps are commonly too complex and too technical because of the scientific vocabulary, the detailed symbolism, and the fact that several levels of spatial and conceptual information are presented on a single sheet of paper. CVUAP maps separate these levels of information, presenting them as simplified, single-subject resource maps, consistent with the scientific integrity of the original product, but more readily useable by the general public.

MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE FY72 FUNDS UNKNOWN MILFORD, CONNECTICUT 06460 SUMMARY OF PROJECT This Project has developed largely in an attempt to discover the origin and distribution pattern of the oyster larvae that set in Long Island Sound. Studies of the intensity of setting In the Bridgeport- Milford-New Haven area have shown that, while certain sections are more likely to get a heavier set than others, setting is usually very spotty i.e., some sections may get a heay set while nearby sections receive almost none at all. Plankton samples have shown that, even during the spawning season, oyster larvae are not numerous and that the earlier stages, 75-250 microns in length, are rarely encountered. The 250-325 micron larvae appear suddenly in the plankton samples and setting starts immediately. At present we are attempting to locate the "nursery areas" where these larvae develop to the 250-325 micron stage before they appear in Iona Island Sound. Once these "nursery areas" have been discovered, we shall attempt to determine the attributes that enable the larvae to develop there and to increase recruitment by replenishing the spawning stock in these areas.

APPROACH: Monitor water volume and concentration of nutrients entering and leaving impoundments on the Housatonic River. PROGRESS: A compute rmodel has been developed to predict water flow in a 33-mile stretch of the Housatonic River. Allowance is made for varying retention times in the two impoundments and the pump-storage off from the ungaged portion of the watershed have also been derived. On an annual basis, the predicted flow agrees closely with the gaged flow at the downstream end of the stretch under study. On a daily or even weekly basis, however, large and unexplainable discrepancies occur between predicted and observed flow. Bank storage is not large enough to account for this discrepancy, and other possible sources of error are under investigation. 016010 PLANT-NUTRITION WATER PLANT-NUTRIENTS WATER-POLLUTION EUTROPHICATION LAK 016010 ES RIVERS NUTRIENT-MOVEMENT ION-EXCHANGE ION-TRANSPORT 021001 00000000 SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

To determine the source and extent of this weight loss from various body parts, and to classify this loss as to percent fat, carbohydrate, protein, etc. To assess the significance of this weight loss in terms of total available reserves at the time of entry into the Connecticut River. To relate the potential energy available from utilization of these stored reserves to the work done during migration in an effort to estimate the efficiency of the spawning migration. Procedures - weight loss will be determined by comparing fish of like sex, length and age caught at various stages of the freshwater migration. Individual variation in weight per given sex, length and age will be determined by comparing specimens collected in Long Island Sound prior to their entry into the river. Classification of the components of the weight loss will be accomplished by standard chemical techniques. Energy equivalents of the consumed reserves will be calculated, and these values will be related to estimates of work required for the spawning migration in an attempt to determine the efficiency of migration and the maximum migration possible under existing environmental conditions.

The "backbone" of the study is a new method of epoxy resin impregnation of sediments which preserves in situ the sedimentation features, interstitial organism distribution, and the protoplasmic materials of micro- and macroorganisms (both plant and animal) without the contractions common in these types of preservations. The upper six centimeters of thin-sections cut from impregnated sediments collected seasonally from differenct environmental settings in the Poquonock River estuary will be studied by light micorscopy to determine the similarities and differences among foraminifera-rich and foraminifera-poor communities, and try to ascertain why there is an unequal distribution of foraminifera in similar contiguous materials and what constitutes the foarminifera's food supply. The question of whether shallow water foraminifera ate epifaunal or infaunal organisms will aslo be investigated. The writer's study of thin sections cut from one impregnated Poquonock River core collected in 1969 shows subsurface reproduction in foraminifera; joined foraminifera undergoing gamogony are found from 3 to 34 millimeters below the sediment-water interface.

Procedures: Temperature determinations will be obtained with a Barnes Model PRT-5 infrared radiation thermometer and recording equipment mounted on S-46 helicopter owned and operated by the State of Connecticut Dept. of Aeronautics. Over-flights will be made at altitudes of 100 feet or less on a monthly basis from April through November. One day each month, upriver flights will be made from Saybrook, Connecticut, to the vicinity of Wilder, Vermont. During these flights, the river to Hartford will be crisscrossed using marine navigation aids and man-made structures as reference points. Above Hartford, the flight will be essential midriver using man-made objects and topographic features as reference points. After a review of the average temperature profile at the completion of the upriver flight, a detailed survey will be made at points of temperature rise and depression--such as heat effluents, impoundments and tributaries during the return flight. Certain major tributaries will be surveyed to provide data to correlate with main stem temperature patterns. Data will be plotted as an average temperature profile along the length of the study area against river miles and man-made features. Detail survey data will be plotted as isotheras in the areas of interest. Completed temperature information will be utilized as base data for future analysis as regards recommendations to regulatory agencies on location and allowances for heat-producing industries. Data will be used also to provide information on the cause and magnitude of thermal loading from various sources such as steam electric plants, manufacturing operations and solar energy in areas of impoundments and shallows related to hydroelectric operations.

If it turns out that the proposed use of the heated water discharged from power plants is not feasible, research will be carried out in order to establish criteria for preventing harmful ecological effects. This research has an important bearing upon multiple use of water resources because of the large quantities of water committed to nuclear power plant usage. Enchancing the production of shellfish is, of course, an important consideration for the coastal regions of New England. Research at the Marine Research Laboratory at Noank, Connecticut will consist of laboratory and field studies of the effect of thermal effluent on oysters. By comparing the metabolic activity and the rate of growth of oysters in heated and unheated waters of the Long Island Sound, the practicality of using the heated effluent can be assessed.

SUPPORT MARINE SCIENCES INSTITUTE FY73 FUNDS $5,275 GROTON, CONNECTICUT 06340 SUMMARY OF PROJECT The clarity of river and estuarine waters or, conversely, their turbidity can serve as an index of the rate and degree of fine sediment transport and biological productivity. To date, the utility of such data within water quality studies has been limited by an imperfect understanding of the relationship between total turbidity and its component parts (i.e., primarily its organic and inorganic constituents) and a lack of instrumentation that would permit in situ detailing of the suspensoid. A program is proposed to examine the relationship between total, turbidity and its constituents and to develop the methods and instrumentation capable of providing long-term in situ data in rivers and estuaries. Drawn samples from selected sites in the Connecticut River will be analyzed in the laboratory to determine the volume concentration and major constituents of the suspended load. These data will be used to establish the design requirements of a nephelometer. The feasibility of combining the principles of light scattering and selective absorption to permit in situ detailing of suspended load characteristics will be studied. Measured light properties obtained in the field will be correlated with the suspended load characteristics obtained in the laboratory to calibrate the instruments and to derive a governing equation. After development, the instrument will be used to map the spatial variations in turbidity near the mouth of the Connecticut River and to monitor the temporal variations on a seasonal scale.

The importance of this information to problems of metal pollution and the fate or reactor generated radionuclides is self- evident. We have four areas of research that are now being pursued under AEC aegis and we plan to bring them to successful conclusions in the next few years: 1. The fates of iron and manganese in an estuary, Long Island Sound, and the consequences for the trade metal regimes in estuaries. 2. The natural and man-induced controls on the chemistry of a major river system, the Susquehanna, and the supply of metals to the coastal ocean. 3. Pb210 dating of salt marsh deposits. 4. The horizontal and vertical distribution of PU239 in Long Island Sound sediments. Results: Logistic preparations for the sampling activities in estuaries and streams were made and preliminary analytical techniques for Fe and Mn determinations in natural waters were tried. The detailed chronologic study of estuarine deposits such as bottom sediments and salt marsh deposits were continued using Pb210 and other natural radionuclides. The papers on mercury in New Haven harbor sediments and the mechanism of molybdenum deposition announced in press in the last progress report have been published and similarly the papers on trace elements in pteropods and plankton, and molybdenum in marine deposits are due to appear in journals before July 1, 1973.

Preliminary studies to date have indicated the presence of unexpected large color differences which are believed to be related to circulation and water mass characteristics, nutrients, trace metal, and the organic content of the water as well as to the quantity of phytoplankton present. It is proposed to use the ERTS-A RBV and MSS imagery and to perform a Skylab EREP experiment using the S190 multispectral camera, S191 IR spectrometer, and the S192 multispectral scanner to support and extend this shipboard study. The imagery obtained from these experiments will be analyzed using additive color viewing equipment, density slicing- masking techniques, and computer classification programs. These data will be correlated with the results of shipboard sampling and in situ spectra using multiple regression techniques. It is expected that the ERTS and Skylab space-acquired data will significantly contribute to this state-supported program by providing synoptic repetitive coverage of the Block Island Sound and adjacent coastal waters. Particularly the tidal and seasonal affects on dynamic variation in the interaction between, as well as changes within, water masses will be invaluable in understanding the coastal environment sufficiently to manage this irreplaceable resource which is being rapidly depleted.

Such solutions are expected to result in economies of scale, operational efficiency and the establishment of an improved priority basis for scheduling and pollutional control efforts. A major obstacle to the development of basin or sub-basin-wide solutions has been the lack of modernization of governmental institutional arrangements to stimulate and encourage the early and efficient utilization of existing and newly developing technology for the public benefit. The research proposes to develop alternative institutional arrangements for the Hudson-Mohawk River Basin, or appropriate sub-- basin units, to achieve a substantially improved water pollution control program for the study basin. The plan of research will consider basin history, geography and culture; current water pollution control programs of state, federal, compact and local agencies; government organization affecting water pollution control; water pollution control plans; preliminary type engineering-economic studies of alternative pollution control measures; formulation of criteria to consider in the development of regional institutional arrangements for pollution control; the relation of alternative institutional arrangements for water pollution control to local water and waste water utility services, and to multi-basin and multi-purpose water and related land resources development programs in the northeastern United States. The research will conclude with a synthesis, recommendations and supporting references. ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

The working hypothesis to test this relationship is that polymorphism and variability of allellic frequencies are more pronounced as an historical consequence of variable environments. Such evolutionary flexibility may result from the genetic variability necessary to survive sudden environmental change, and also from the heterozygote advantage in variable regimes. The role of genetic variability in ecological specialization, evolutionary flexibility, and propensity to mass extinctions in organisms is currently a controversial topic in both paleontological and evolutionary science. The establishment of a firm data base for theoretical discussion in this field would be most important. Environmental variability decreases with increasing water depth, due to the damping of temperature, salinity and environmental variation caused by surface effects. Therefore, populations of a given species, or a group of species, will be sampled from this gradient. Intertidal and shallow subtidal populations will be compared with deeper water (100-300 m), continental shelf, and slope populations. Environmental variability may also be studied by comparing shallow water species from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the U.S. Due to its maritime climate, waters of the Pacific coasts are much less variable than those of the Atlantic coast. Since several Atlantic coast species have been introduced to the other coast, it will be possible to make comparisons of the degree of genetic polymorphism in a single species from both coasts. Genetic variability will be evaluated using horizontal starch gel and vertical acrylamide gel electrophoresis of isoenzymes. This technique will be used to measure: gene frequencies, per cent of polymorphic loci, zygotic proportions, degree of heterozygosity, and the variance of the above parameters (where appropriate). Areas of study will include the Long Island Sound and Cape Cod regions, Puget Sound (Washington), and the Western Atlantic continental shelf. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

Approach: A sample of bug bay scallops collected in early fall will be divided into four equal subsamples. The scallops will be measured, and a statistical analysis will be made to determine whether or not these subsamples are derived from the same population. If they are not from the same population, random divisions of a sample into four subsamples will be made until it is established that they are from the same population. One subsample will be placed in an aquarium receiving 34 gallons per hour of salt water at ambient temperature. The three remaining subsamples will be placed in aquaria each receiving 34 gallons per hour of salt water at 50 degrees F., 60 degrees F., and 70 degrees F. Each week from early fall to spring, the scallops will be measured and returned to the aquaria. These measurements will be treated by analysis of variance and a test of critical differences to determine the effect of temperature on scallop growth. At the same time that the study is going on in the laboratory aquaria, a field study will be made. Bug bay scallops will be collected in early fall. Procedures described above will be used to make certain that the two subsamples of scallops come from the same population. These subsamples will be suspended from anchored floats. One will be placed near the heated salt water discharge at a power plant; the other will be placed nearby and in water not affected by the heated effluent. Each week the scallops will be measured and returned to the floats. The measurements will be treated statistically as previously described to determine the effect of power plant heated effluent upon scallop growth. ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

The study, basically one of modern environments and processes as a means for understanding the ancient geologic record, is centered on Fire Island Inlet, Long Island, New York. In order to determine if a distinctive inlet sequence of sediments does exist it is necessary to study the hydrodynamic conditions in the active inlet, to sample the bottom sediments systematically in all parts of the channel, and to examine bore-hole samples from the Fire Island barrier in places where historically dated maps show tidal inlets to have existed in the past. The study thus involves an investigation of speed and direction of water currents, nature of transported sediment, characteristics of deposited materials, sedimentary structures, and related geologic parameters.

The Flax Pond estuary offers a simple and reasonably practical opportunity for appraisal of net ecosystem production measured as carbon and as other elements including N, P, S and cations. In the first year water chemistry analyses and studies of underwater benthos will be conducted. The work on productivity will be restricted during this period to preliminary studies of methods and limited sampling. In the second year the program will be expanded to measure net primary production and respiration of the Spartina mat, the benthos and the water by a series of techniques designed to give separate, independent measurements of the same attributes. Partitioning of net production among its principal uses will be measured as will major segments of the secondary production. An estimate of net ecosystem production will be available at the completion of the second year's work. ISG SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

This year we plan to make a comparative assessment of the role of diverse species of marina nematodes and ciliates in the detritus food chain including: mineral cycling and concentration, energy flow, biological half life, food web complexion, biotic potential and trophic efficiency estimations. Microcosm experiments will be used to evaluate effects of environmental stress including: intense; radiation; thermal; heavy metal; organic and petrochemical; as well as in the design and testing of a water quality assay system for near-shore water testing. It is hoped that the identification of the structure-function relationships may help to establish realistic guidelines for more effective use and management of this important habitat which surrounds much of this great city. Results: A 578 page progress report (C00 3254-12) summarizes our results to date. In total, 3 technical papers supported by this contract were published this year, 5 papers have been accepted for publication and are in press, and 3 papers have just been completed and are under review. The results of one subproject (C00 3254-9), when published will be a substantial contribution to the field and will, in our opinion, be considered a major breakthrough in approaches to microbial and micrometazoan food web analysis.

These techniques are expected to be useful for regulatory agencies to monitor discharge areas prior to and after discharges. In the first phase of this project, a site in the New York Bight will be studied before, during, and after an experimental sewage sludge dumping program. Spatial and temporal changes in the structure of the macrofaunal association will be determined thru analysis of faunal composition, density, dominance, biomass, diversity, and homogeneity. Correlations between these biotic parameters and abiotic factors will be attempted in relation to differences at the dumping site and surrounding stations before, during, and after the experimental dumpings. Documentation of ecosystem alterations at one point in time does not in itself indicate lasting effects; therefore, we intend to observe the rate of recovery of the area in the post-dumping period. This should provide measures of the vulnerability of the local ecosystem and the extent of environmental damage sustained. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

Primary objectives of this experiment were: 1. Describe via remote sensing sea surface spectral band signatures, water masses and their movement as indicated by: a) Tubidity components of suspended particulate matter and/or chlorophyll concentrations. b) Sea surface temperature distribution. c) Surface slicks concentrated in areas of convergent flow. d) Spoil dum "scars". e) Dye tracer materials. 2. Determine the accuracy and limitations of photogrammetric measurements of dye tracer displacements for calculating surface current velocities and horizontal diffusion rates under specific conditions. 3) Characterize as a function of time both the physical and optical (spectral transmittance and scattering) properties of the waters surrounding and within a spoil dump. 4. Define the appropriate spectral ratios within the chlorophyll absorption bands and relate various ratios as a possible indicator of nutrient and productivity levels. 5. Generate surface currents from a hydronamic numerical model and evaluate the model. 6. Correlate sea surface temperature map for NOAA-II VHRR data. 7. Determine dye tracer dispersion techniques necessary for imaging and registration by ERTS-1 multispectral scanner. 8. Develop visual/graphical remote sensor data analysis products and techniques for anticipated requirements. Data collected on 7 April 1973 is sufficient to provide considerable insight into or permit the fulfillment of the above objectives.

The modeling program has as its objective the conceptual development of predictive tools which describe the physical, chemical, biological and oceanographic factors influencing the Bight. Emphasis is placed on the solution of real-world problems, i.e., being able to determine the effects of changing outside forces, primarily through man's activities, on the ecosystem of the Bight. Three major systems have been identified for the conceptual model: 1. Circulation, 2. Sedimentation, and 3. Water quality-ecology. A number of subsystems representing specific phenomena exist within these divisions and each is a separate part of the conceptual model. The model describes and assesses the driving variables for each subsystem, identifies critical rates and relationships and delineates the transfer paths between subsystems. In the first phase of the project, the structure of each segment of the model is described, both narratively and graphically, and its relation to other sections is depicted. In subsequent phases, critical subsystems are explored more deeply and data needs are assessed. Attention is given to the impact of model needs on the data acquisition programs, and the framework for an ADP information system is recommended for selected subsystems. Finally, a report describing all aspects of the model is required. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

OF THE INTERIOR 7/72 TO 6/73 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FY73 FUNDS UNKNOWN ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22209 SUMMARY OF PROJECT: Man's impact on the hydrologic environment has received greater attention in recent years. Such factors as increased storm runoff, loss of valuable top soil, stream and atmosphere pollution have come under scrutiny owing to their rather obvious undesirable effects. Aside from large scale isolated instances of thermal pollution, however, little has been done to assess man's influence on the thermal patterns of streams. Alteration of the natural hydrologic environment of a stream may affect its heat energy balance causing substantial changes in water temperatures. Five streams with varying degrees of urbanization in their drainage basins have been selected for intensive study. Connetquot River in central Long Island was chosen as a control for comparison purposes. This stream flows through a hunting preserve and is essential in its natural state. Five sites were selected along each stream and water temperatures obtained at each site. A statistical analysis employing a randomized block or latin square design will be utilized to test for significance between sites. Stream reaches yielding significantly different results will be subjected to an intensive field reconnaissance to isolate the cause of the anomaly. An energy-budget approach will be utilized to assess the importance of urbanization factors on the overall flux of energy. Owing to the profound effect of certain meterorologic parameters on the heat balance it is likely that most studies will be restricted to periods of not less than 7 consecutive days. The most important factor in the energy budget is insolation which is being measured directly by placing a pyranometer just above the water surface of the control steam.

Black and white, color, and false color photography will help identify pollutants and sediment, Thermal-infrared imagery is suited to thermal field studies. Multispectral scanners may be useful in identifying specific types of pollutants. Wind stress generated by atmospheric Pressure gradients is the major factor controlling sediment-plume patterns. Prevailing westerlY winds across the south shore of Lake Ontario cause sediment to be carried predominantly to the east-northeast of the axes of all northward flowing rivers. It is anticipated that the ERTS-A satellite will be in orbit during FY 1973. Ground-truth data will be obtained under favorable cloud conditions whenever the satellite passes over Lake Ontario.

These techniques are expected to be useful for regulatory agencies to monitor discharge areas prior to and after discharges. In the first phase of this project, a site in the New York Bight will be studied before, during, and after an experimental sewage sludge dumping program. Spatial and temporal changes in the structure of the macrofaunal association will be determined through analysis of faunal composition, density, dominance, biomass, diversity, and homogeneity. Correlations between these biotic parameters and abiotic factors will be attempted in relation to differences at the dumping site and surrounding stations befores, during, and after the experimental dumpings. Documentation of ecosystem alterations at one point in time does not in itself indicate lasting effects; therefore, we intend to observe the rate of recovery of the area in the post-dumping period. This should provide measures of the vulnerability of the local ecosystem and the extent of environmental damage sustained. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

This includes determination of rates and mechanisms of accumulation, transport and transformation of persistent organics in the water column, sediments, surface films, and biota. The results will be used to make recommendations on monitoring schems, for abatement, and guidance on discharge restrictions relating to persistent organics. The work will be carried out in three phases. First, a determination of a suitable sludge plant and dumping site will be made based on levels of persistent organics found in sludges and at the sites. Second, dumping will be initiated and continue for a predetermined period of time. Samples of sludge, sediments, surface films, water, and biota will be taken and analyzed at appropriate intervals. Third, the site will be monitored after dumping to determine changes in concentration of persistent organics with time in sediments and biota.

Technical Objective: To examine in the laboratory by bioassay, physiological and biochemical techniques, a selected group of New York Bight coastal animals and the effect of contaminants on their normal life functions. These experiments will indicate that some marine animals are extemely sensitive to minute amounts of pollutants, or that certain animals or communities will flourish where specific contaminants are available at those levels. Approach; Experiments will be conducted to assess physiological chances in various species of marine bivalves, crustaceans and fish. Embryos and larvae of shellfish will be exposed to heavy metal ions through in vivo laboratory experiments to determine concentrations which affect normal development. Adult crustaceans and fish will be exposed to contaminants to determine changes in osmo-regulation and respiration rates. Also, as part of a broad-spectrum study of the effects of pollutants upon representative marine organisms, studies will be made to discover significant enzymological changes in the tissues of target animals during their exposure to known amounts of pollutants, and to interpret any such chances from the standpoint of biochemical adaptation or malfunction in response to the pollutant. By determining the degree and rate of such change in the light of concurrent work in related disciplines, it should be possible to monitor and even to predict the probable success or failure of the species to survive under known conditions of pollution. These organisms will be exposed to a great assortment of contaminant material. They will be subjected to acute exposures initially, but as facilities are developed, they will be subjected to long-term, chronic exposures of sublethal stress levels of Progress: Experimental results have provided lethal levels for embryos of the American oyster and hard shell clam for 10 and 5 heavy metals, respectively. Tests on changes of osmo-regulation and respiration rate of various species of crustaceans have been completed. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET. N.W.

Monthly census of both living and dead scallops, oysters, guahaugs and Codium, and if possible relate condition of shellfish to Codium. At five sites or the estuary, water quality analyses will be continued. Settling surfaces for Codium were set out in March at these sites. They consist of oyster shells strung on buoyed lines anchored by cement blocks. They thus far have proven excellent in that the settling surfaces are easy to remove, resist sedimentation and are not easily located by vandals. At each site, two lines are removed and replaced at 1 - month intervals. The attached Codium is harvested for measurements of growth and photosynthetic capacity. Use techniques developed in the past year to produce differentiating plants on oyster shells in culture. By varying exposure time and concentration, test lethality of heavy metal salts, oxidizing agents, biodegradable organic compounds, chelators and osmoticums. Adapt findings to shellfish cultivation practices. Pre-measured apical segments of physiologically uniform Codium are attached to vertically-buoyed lines at 1 meter intervals. After 2 damp the plants are assayed for photosynthetic capacity in situ by measuring H14CO3 uptake rates. After 2 weeks, the plants are harvested and assayed for increase in length, wet weight and dry weight, and levelsof chlorophyll and starch. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

Procedures: Continued studies on management of shellfish beds infested with Codium will entail creation of three 10 x 10 meter sample plots to be laid out at fine estuary locations in early spring. All Codium will be removed from two, the third plot to serve as a control. Codium will be culled from one of the cleared plots at four week intervals to ascertain the re-infestation rate of this organism and its affect upon shellfish, water quality analyses will be continued. Determination of total soluable phosphates and nitrates temperature, salinity light penetration, and dissolved oxygen profiles will be made, Laboratory experiments on the development of dips for removal of Codium from shellfish will be continued. Tests of lethality of heavy metal salts, oxidizing agents, biodegradable organic compounds, chelators, and osmoticums will be made to determine responses to various exposure times and concentrations. Determination of vertical distribution of Codium as a function of turbidity (light penetration) will be made by utilizing premeasured apical segments of physiologically uniform Codium attached to vertically buoyed lines at 1-meter intervals. After 2 days, the plants are assayed for their photosynthetic capacity and, after 2 weeks, they are harvested and assayed for increased length, wet weights dry weight, and levels of chlorophyll and starch. Light penetration will be measured by underwater photometer and direct measurement of suspended material. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

BOX 631 VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI 39180 SUMMARY OF PROJECT: Purpose of Study/Investigation: To determine the effects of a hurricane protection structure with all tidal Passages open on tidal heights, current velocities, salinities, temperatures, and dye dispersion within Jamaica Bay for normal tides. Plans which had no adverse effects on the above phenomena and which did not create maximum velocities hazardous to navigation were subjected to hurricane surges to determine the amount of suppression obtained throughout Jamaica Bay. An additional objective of the investigation to improve the quality of water in the Bay has been added by the New York District. This modification may involve barrier gate operation and/or structural chanqes in the bay. Approach or Plan: The Jamaica Bay segment of the existing New York Harbor Model was updated to topoqraphic conditions of 1967. The existing New York Harbor model linear scale ratios are 1:1100 vertically and 1:1000 horizontally. A hurricane surge generator was added to the model to conduct the surge test. A series of tests was conducted for existing conditions and then duplicated for plan conditions: comparison of test results allows the effects of the plans to be evaluated. Progress to Date: New York District personnel recommended a barrier Plan consisting of a 300 ft-wide ungated navigation opening to natural bottom depths (approximately -32 ft msl) plus six 75-ft-wide gated tidal passages with bottom sills to an elevation of -26 ft msl on each side of the navigation opening, Model tests indicated no adverse effects on tidal heights, current velocities, salinities, and dye dispersion within Jamaica Bay; however, the plan would not provide adequate suppression of the hurricane surge elevations within the Bay. Plan 6 included a 110-ft wide ungated navigation opening to natural bottom conditions plus eight 75-ft-wide gated tidal passages with bottom sills to elevations of -26 ft msl on each side of the navigation opening. This plan had no adverse effects on the related phenomena and provided the required suppression of hurricane surges within the Bay; however, the 110-ft-wide navigation opening did not meet the present navigation needs which require a minimum opening of 150 ft. A series of hurricane surge tests was conducted utilizing widths of navigation openings varying from 150 to 200 ft. These openings provided bottom SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

Approach: In conjunction with the Biological Oceanography investigation we have develoqed a grid of sampling stations which will encompass portions of the New York Rights western Long Island Sound and Raritan Bay including adjunt embayments and estuaries. Initally, grab, dredges trawl and epibenthis samples are taken at five-mile intervals except, with the Hudson Shelf Valley, alternative dumping sites, and embayments. At these sites collections will be taken at intervals necessary to obtain samples for analyses for heavy metals and other contaminants, Once having ascertained the amounts of specific metals and other toxins in and the physical environments, we perform laboratory tests to determine the effects of toxins and thermal additions on amino acid metabolisms ionic regulation and ion transports, neurophysiology and behavior, and respiration. Tests are performed using laboratory grade reagents as toxins as well as sediments and water from the field which contain known amounts of toxic materials. Experiments utilizing actual toxic materials collected from the environment are extremely difficult to set ups perform and interpret because of the synergistic effect of the numerous toxins present in sediments and water. This tends to decelerate the progress of work but experiments are essential if the real environment is to be understood. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATIOn EXCHANGE, INC. SIE NO. 1730 M STREET. N.W.

Data collection began in the summer of 1972 in two detailed study area on the New Jersey continental shelf: 1) area 1A, the Brigantine Shoal area of the inner shelf 2) area 1B, The Great Egg Massif Ridge Field of the central shelf. Data consisted of bottom samples (1A - 189 IB - 20O), side scan sonar surveys (lA - 20 n.mi., 1B - 91 n.mi.) vibrocores (IA - 3, 1B - 4) and submersible dive traverses (lA - l, 1B- 4). The 172 side scan survey has revealed sediment patterns associated with large-scale current lineations Produced by storms. Also revealed were wave ripple patterns and areas of suspected outcroppings of Holocene or Pleistocene clayey sediments in troughs. Observations from submersible dives and bottom samples were correlated with side scan data. Additional side scan reconnaissance surveys are planned for '73 1A- 60 n.mi., 1B - 60 n.mi.). This will complete the resonnaissance of 1A, expand into adjacent areas of 1B and rerun segments of the 72 1B surveys. The rerun of parts of 1B will be used to check for changes in the nature and directional aspect of th lineations. Sub-bottom profiling will run concurrently with the side scan surveys using a 395 Khz acoustic transducer to evaluate the shallow stratigraphy of the Holocene transgressive sequence* In addition to continued bottom . sampling (about 75 in each area), camera stations and a few gravity cores are also planned. This study will seek to clarify the origin of the ridge and swale topography and its evolution on the inner and central New Jersey shelf and evaluate the nature of the shelf response to modern shelf hydraulics.

The source of public water supply in the area is ground water derived from the upper glacial and magothy aquifers. The extent and manner of pollution in the two aquifers needs to be more clearly defined so as to provide a basis from which water managers can develop plans to assure a safe public water supply in the future along with satisfactory disposal of sewage and waste materials without attendant deleterious effect to the ecology or the environment. The major objective of this proposed Project is to evaluate the geochemical aspects of the nature extent, movement and temporal variations of inorganic and certain organic Pollutants in the ground- water reservoir of the study area, with special emphasis an the water in the tipper glacial and magothy aquifers. The information thus developed will be useful in evaluating present and future suitability of ground water for public use, and will provide a data base and data collection network for monitoring the effects of proposed sewers, Other water- management activities, and waste disposal. Assemble and review existing hydrologic data and reports on the area of study. Collection of new data will consist of: periodic water- level measurements; collection of water samples from existing wells and streams. Additional, wells will be drilled in areas where needed; especially in the vicinity of sanitary landfill and sewage disposal operations. Stage and conductivity recorders will be installed on streams or wells where needed. A series of maps and cross sections will be constructed to show areal and vertical extent of pollutants in the aquifer as well as.temporal trends. A ground-water and surface-water sampling network has been established and samples collected for chemical analyses including the toxic-trace metals. The chemical data has been placed on maps for contouring water-quality parameters. 5000 chemical analyses from cooperator's files have been processed for computer analyses of trends in water-quality changes. Water-levels are being measured for preparation of water-level change maps. Preliminary draft of final SMITHSONIAN TAPE INPUT 281 M____CE INFORMATION EXCHANGE __. 1730 M STREET. N.W.

Results will be made available to the planning process. Approach: The case study approach will be used, both prior and post-facto in order to develop methods whereby impacts of water development projects may be assessed in advance of implementation. previous case study work has shown the value of this approach. The particular kind of water project studied will be selected on the basis of timeliness and the expertise of the research assistants. Two initial sub-project studies are: An assessment of the physical, chemical, biological, social and economic effects of a reservoir on a strea. The case study will be a proposed reservoir on Fall Creek (central N.Y.). The development of an ecosystem framework for planning water and related resources development in a lake basis.

Attempt to identify the major processes operating as natural or man-made variables in the watershed and sub indicate what the effect of a change in any one of these will have on the others. At first this will be a directional change only, but will search for quantifiable data. PROGRESS: Following completion of the sub-project on owasco lake Basin ecosystem planning, and the re-direction of that study under other fudning, a new sub-project has been initiated. This concerns the apparent conflict between water development and wilderness values. This research is investigating as a case study a portion of the upper hudson River in New York state, in particular the hudson River Gorge area. Water resource planning alternatives are being examined, with a focus on the "values" of preservation of this as a wild river.

Engineering studies have recommended Programs for optimizing this water supply. One recommended water-management approach is to inject tertiary-treated sewage into the deep aquifer to (a) halt and Perhaps reverse landward movement of salty water into the aquifer and, (b) replenish the ground-water supply, This project will develop some of the information needed to evaluate this water-management Proposal., objectives are to experimentally evaluate the feasibilitY of injecting treated sewage throough a specially designed recharge well into a deep aquifer. The study is intended to furnish the cooperator with information on the mechanics, difficulties and costs associated with artificial recharge of highly treated sewage wastes; and to assess, to whatever extent possible, the hydrologic and geochemical effects of such recharge, An Injection and several observation wells have been installed at the site, The cooperator has provided a plant for storage, treatment and pumping of the waste water, and a laboratory for on-site chemical work. The study will involve: an investigation of the pre-inJection hydrology and chemistry at the injection site; a number of injection experiments utilizing municipal-supply water; and a series of injection experiments utilizing the sewage wastes, Fxtensive hydraulic and chemical, monitoring will accompany each experiment, Injection testing involving variations in organic content' chlorine resi A quasi-continuous injection Period of up to 6 months is planned. This test will aid in determining the long-term rate of well clogging and long-term geochemical stability of the injected water Preparation of reports for the professional Paper series and of papers for the new Geological Survey JournaL and outside journals will be continued, Scope of the project is being expanded to include laboratory studies of the application of the treated sewage to soil columns.

Production is measured by determining the concentrations of bio-detritus and the volumes of water entering and leaving the marsh during the twice-daily tidal cycle. Samples have been taken at the Flax Pond channel since June 1971, and have been proceeding on a weekly basis since October, The role of bio-detritus in the marsh ecosystem (i,e, that not exported to Long Island sound) is being investigated in terms of benthic Results: Data suggest that a major fraction of this material is oxidized. in the benthos, and that the resulting metabolism has a profound effect upon both the biota and the physico-chemical environment. An incubation chamber for measuring low level benthic metabolic rates in situ has teen constructed and successfully tested, A second in situ chamber of flow-through design for higher ranges of metabolism is presently being developed.

The Prime purpose of this Program is to study the dynamic processes Presently Active in these canyons, There is good reason to believe that Some, if not all, of the canyons may serve as a "pipeline" for the movement of sediment and "sinkable" pollutants from the continental shelf to the abyssal depths. This study in the Hudson Canyon is directly related to the New YorK Bight studies of sediment transport by Dr, Donald Swift of A.O.M.L., which deal with the area adjacent to the outer part of the Canyon* The initial phases of the outer Hudson Canyon project will be to study the sedimentary processes taking place within the canyon by the measurement of bottom currents and sediments transport. This will be accomplished by photographically recording the dimensions and lineation of bottom features such as ripples and scour pockets,, in situ surface sediment density measurements, laboratory analysis of sediment cores for their mass physical properties, placement of stakes in the bottom and adjacent canyon walls, as well as reccrding bottom currents and suspended sediment concentrations, Another aspect of this project will be the study of benthic biota and their influence on sediment stability. The third portion of this project will be the stratigraphic sampling of the canyon wall's in order to develop the geological history of the canyon. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

The carbon cycle is fundamental to all other cycles in estuaries and is being used here as the basis of appraising the total function of a single, comparatively simple, intensively studied estuary on the north shore of Long Island, flax Pond. Results: Work has included development of an infra-red absorption technique for measurement of dissolved organic matter and small Particulate carbon, Other techniques include methods of measurement of gaseous exchanges between the atmosphere and the waters of the estuary* results show that the estuary is a net user (or storer) of carbon' water leving the estuary contains less dissolved carbon than that entering from Long Island Sound.

Part of the spatial and temporal variations in the diversity-of bethic marine communities can be explained as the consequence of local disturbances of the sediment-water interface. The Immediate ObJective of the proposed study is to determine the biological characteristics of. the sediment water Interface. Special emphasis will be given to determine the amount and distribution of organic matter which is potentially available to the benthos, The ultimate obJective is to attempt to relate variations in the character of the sediment-water interface to variations in the diversity of benthic communities. Destructive analyses of total carbons nitrogen or of particular compounds do not measure the amount of organic matter that is biologically utilizable as food for the benthos. It is Proposed that a mixture of several enzymes be used an the basis of evaluating potential food resources and their variation in natural sediments, Synoptic studies will be made in shallow and deep water environments in the region of woods Holes Massachusetts and Pigeon key Florida, In addition, an attempt will be made to correlate the variation in food resources with variation in species composition and diversity within a community in the environs of Woods Hole, The results of this study could haVe broad ecological implications and be of use in understanding the effects of pollution in the sea.

Little has been done to identify the subtle changes on the heat budget of a stream stemming from man's activities, To isolate and evaluate the effect of man-imposed environmental changes on the temperature Patterns of streams, This Project attempts to identify the Principal energy fluxes affected by man*. Alteration of these. energy sources is the major factor in creating stream-temperature anomalies* Another objective is to identify temperature Patterns under a wide variety of climate regimens, Pairs of streams consisting of a "control" stream (one under natural conditions) and another that has been altered by man's activities will be instrumented bimonthly over 7- to 10-day periods. The time sample will, as a minimum, encompass a single year to provide information on seasonal temperature fluctuations, The paired streams will include a variety of geologic, topographic, and climatic regimes along the east coast. Comparisons between an "altered" stream and its control should reveal the effect of environmental changes on temperature patterns, For comparative site analyses,least-square curves were fitted to !all stream-temperature data. obtained to date, These curves Yield estimated normal temperatures based on sampled temperature runs over a period of one years Thus, with the aid of a computer, unbiased site comparisons are feasible, Temperature patterns obtained from computerized curve-fitting techniques will be analyzed to help detect differences stemming from man's activities.

APPROUCH: Identify shore areas developed for seasonal homes in last 5 years. Determine environmental factors that infuenced the location and these that were modified to permit the development. Cost of improvements and selling price of properties will be determined and related to environmental factors. A regional questionnaire will be used to survey home owners. The tooks Island National Recreation Area in New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be studied in detail to determine regulations and variances in regulating development. Master plans will be evaluated in relation to possible demands on the environment. PROGRESS: In the northeast, a pressing environmental problem is the intensive use of lakeshore home developments. An acute shortage of adwquate housing and rising real estate taxes has increased the use of unconventional housing. Lakeshore communities typically are not designed for year-round housing. Many lack edequate solid waste collection and sewage facilities. Permanent residents are younger than seasonal occupants, indicating that younger families were forming their primary home in the lake community. People per household was the same for lake homes and all homes in the county. Eighty-two percent of the households contained two adults only; thus the communities were not causing a rise in enrollments as anticipated by township officials. on site septic tanks with drainfiels and overflows accounted for most sewage disposal systems. Private community water supplies served six of ten homes and the balance by on site supplies. Seasonal occupants tended to show more concern for lot size and trash than permanent residents.

Technical Objective: A) To determine the spatial effect of reef distribution on finfish abundance, particularly in heavily polluted environments. Information on fish inhabiting reef sites throuqhout the months of April-November is of special interest since it will provide. answers to questions concerning seasonal fish mobility and reef interaction during the prime sport fishing month, b) To compare Primary and secondary Productivity on reefs and non-reef areas of Raritan Bay, Invertebrates and algae utilized as food for finfish is of Particular interest since their seasonal settlement and abundance influence the resident finfish population, Using a bicenergetic approach, details on the rate of utilization by fish will be obtained through laboratory experiments and the effect of predation on the reef communities will be examined in the field, C) To examine the effect of an experimental reef on the behavior of finfish, Diving observations indicate that finfish utilize a reef for "cover" in addition to obtaining food. Coordination of field and laboratory experiments together with a record of the Physical parameters will elucidate the importance of this phenomena relative to reef Productivity. Approach; Small artificial reefs, made of tires bound together into units and anchored to wooden pallets., are being randomly placed on the sampling stations, and monitored for finfish activity at monthly intervals, In addition$ invertebrate and algal food species are being collected and measured quantitatively.. either directly from the tire units or from rubber test panels, The sampling design includes comparisons within and between habitat types, The bioenergetic approach (using bomb calorimetrY) will be adopted in examining reef productivity* In addition to their growth and settling rates, the caloric value of the important food species will be determined. Certain aspects of the study, such as identification and sorting of epbenthic samples and morphometric analysis of finfish, are, in part, being completed through contract or cooperative studies, Progress: Sandy Hook Laboratory has been investigating the development of artificial habitats in relatively unpolluted waters from Gloucester., Massachusetts to St, Thomas, Virgin Islands (1967-72), The studies have been principally concerned with measuring increases in the SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION 'EXCHANGE, INC.

APPROACH: -Interviewing schedules will be developed to assess the role of : Auctions and otber Exchanges, Broker and other merchant middlemen, Contractual arrangements, Basing points in the price system, and Private sales. PROGRESS: During 1972, 24 of the 105 firms that shucked oysters in Virginia were interviewed to isolate the out-of-state flow of oyster products. Collectively, the firms contacted, processed over 750,OCO of the 2 million gallons of oysters shucked in Virginia during the 1971-72 season. Over 60% of Virginia's 1971-72 production of shucked oysters was shipped within the South-Atlantic States region. Roughly 80% of the 60% stayed in the Maryland-Virginia area. The seccnd highest receiving region was the Mid-West with 20%, followed by the Mid-Atlantic States which accounted for approximately 10%. The West-Coast, Canada, and the, New England region accounted for 4, 2, and 2%, respectively. 133 interviews were conducted to obtain socio-economic data on oystermen located in four Maryldnd communities. The information co1lected and employment opportunity data were. used tc assess the economic impact limiting the entry of watermen into the oyster fishery wouid have on the four communities. Work was also completed on an economic profile of the fisheries of the Chesapeake Bay. 016010 PRICING MARKET-STRUCTURE FISH PRODUCTION FISHERIES PRICES __OCUREMENT ST 016010 RUCTURE MARKET-ANALYSIS HARVESTING ECONOMICS 021001 00000000 SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC.

APPROACH; The Procedure includes laboratory studies of thermal tolerances and avoidance reactions of 17 species of marine fishes and field collections and Population studies of fishes in the project area and in the adjacent control areas before and after operation of the plant. The before operation phase has been completed In an unreported project. PROGRESS: ITEM 11 Regular seining collections at six stations in the Barnegat reactor project area, and in immediately adjacent waters, were continued on a monthly basis in winter and a semi-monthly schedule during the warmer months. The data continued to show that thermal addition can attract certain species at particular times of year and water temperature ranges, and repel certain species at certain other times of year. ITEM 2: Laboratory experiments have been conducted to measure the responses of several marine fishes to drops in temperature of different speeds that might be encountered from nuclear plant shutdowns These experiments have revealed that fish may go into "practical death" (loss of equilibrium) and "ecological death" (loss of equilibrium and ultimate death) for an hour or more before physiological death, ITEM 3: Laboratory experiments were conducted to measure the responses of four marine fishes to HCL-fluoride wastes of Allied Chemical Corporation. Fluoride per se had no noticeable effects up to 180 ppm. Lowering of pH to 5.6 resulted in practical death for an hour or more for all species. The final report to Allied Chemical Corporation has been completed and is available. SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE INFORMATION EXCHANGE, INC. 1730 M STREET, N.W.

This program, initiated in 1970, has the following objectives: (a) to develop a water'quality monitoring program for Boston Harbor; (b) to develop a data storage and. retrieval system for common water quality parameters; and (c) to develop analytical methodology for measurement of the concentration, form, and accumulation of certain toxic elements in the sediments of Boston Harbor and Massa- chusetts Bay. (2) We are working closely with the U.S. Army Corps of En - gineers to attempt to design criteria for site selection of dredge spoil.s. The purpos-e of,ti-ds -study i@s to attempt to, define the criteria. @whicfi -will aid in site selection fordis- posal of dredge spoils such areas as Fairhaven Harbor or from larger embayments along, the coast. In addition to these studies we have ongoing work supported by the National Science Foundation to initiate investigations of the biochemical mechanisms of toxicity in marine phytopla:nkton, and a cooperative program with Brandeis and the National Science Foundation to look at the mechanism of uptake of certain metals in tunicates. Finally, we are undertaking a major program-with the support of found- ations of the state of Massachusetts, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and National Science Foundation to look at the sorption and desorption of metallic ions. in the sediments of Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay. The rationale for this study is that we feel that an understanding of pollution of bodies of water must take into account.the reservoir of heavy metals at the bottom. G. C.
