OVERVIEW: In 1999 the US EPA contracted the states
of Washington, Oregon, and California to conduct a
West Coast Estuary survey. There were 210
stations in the sample design, 18 of which were
not able to be sampled for a total of 192
successful measurements. DATA TYPES: Grabs,
Trawls, and Water Quality casts were conducted at
each of the stations to yield Benthic infauna,
Sediment Toxicity, Sediment Chemistry, Trawl Fish,
Macro Invertebrate, Debris, water column
characterization at one meter increments from
surface to bottom, and sediment grain size data.
These data types can be aggregated using the
StationID variable in each table. The locations
reported in this table are the actual locations
that were visited. Missing numerical values have
been coded as -99 Missing text values have been
coded as NR Missing date values have been coded as
01/Jan/1999 Missing time values have been coded
as 23:00 Washington- Three to five grabs wer taken
for Sediment Chemistry composite per station-
collecting the top 2-3 cm of sediment from each
sampling event. Field recording deviation from
EMAP protocol- WA only recorded on record per
station - this included the details
(latitude/longitude/sample penetration depth etc)
from the first grab event only.

Site Location The randomly selected
Western Pilot sampling locations will be provided
to the field crews as coordinates of
latitude/longitude in degrees-minutes, expressed
to the nearest 0.01 minute (i.e., 00° 00.00').
The crews will use GPS to locate the site. The
acceptable tolerance goal for siting is that the
sampling station be established within 0.02' (±120
ft) of the given coordinates. This reflects the
accuracy expected from a properly functioning GPS
unit of the caliber that will used for the study.
The GPS's performance should be verified on a
daily basis; those details will be discussed in
Section B5. Field crews will strictly
adhere to the above guidelines for siting the
station, unless there are substantiated reasons
that prevent sampling within that defined area.
Because EMAP's probabilistic sampling design is so
unbiased, potentially, some of the generated sites
can fall in locations that are not amenable to
sampling ( e.g., shallow conditions, inaccessible,
rocky bottom, etc.). Upfront planning by the
field team can help resolve these potential
problems before they are encountered on the actual
day of sampling. Coordinates of the random
locations are made available to the teams months
in advance of the field monitoring in order that
they have adequate opportunity to formulate
logistical plans. The reasonable first step is to
plot the given sites on NOAA nautical charts to
ascertain the spatial distribution of the sites,
then reconnoiter (on paper) the charted locations
for obvious problem situations (e.g., water
depth, hazards to navigation, etc.). If suspect
sites are encountered in this exercise, it is
suggested that a field reconnaissance be conducted
well ahead of the scheduled sampling to determine
actual conditions at the site. If an intended
site location presents an obvious problem, the
situation must be reported to the State
Implementation Team Chair and EPA Regional
Coordinator, who, in turn, will discuss the
specifics with EPA's Project Officer for the WPCM
(Kevin Summers) for resolution options. Depending
on the nature of the situation, the EPA Project
Officer may elect to relocate the site within an
acceptable range of the original location, or the
site may be dropped from the sampling. Decisions
on this level (i.e., significant changes to the
sampling design) are to be made only by the EPA
Project Officer, not by the field teams.
Field teams, however, will have a limited degree
of onsite flexibility to relocate sampling sites
when confronted with unexpected obstacles or
impediments associated with locating within the
±0.02' guideline. If for good reason (e.g.,
danger or risk to crew, excessive rocky or shelly
bottom, currents, man-made obstructions), the crew
chief may move the station up to ±0.05' (300 ft)
of the intended sampling station; every effort
must be made to relocate to an area that appears
similar in character to that of the intended site.
For example, if the intended site was in the
channel of a stream, then the relocation should be
as near to that situation as possible; it should
not be relocated along side the stream bank. When
it is necessary to relocate the site >0.02', the
reason for shift must be documented in the field
record. Any site relocation that exceed 0.05'
(300 ft) will be flagged and reviewed before any
data collected from the station are acceptable for
inclusion to the study database. Locating
station Field crews will use differential Global
Position Satellite (GPS) navigation systems to
locate the CM sampling stations. Coordinates of
latitude and longitude for the previously selected
random sampling stations will be issued to the
field crews along with their sampling packages;
the coordinates will be expressed in units to the
nearest 0.01 minute. The vessel operator should
review navigation plans for a site at least a day
prior to the scheduled sampling. Before leaving
the dock, the station position will be entered
into the GPS system and the operator will safely
navigate to the area. As the vessel closes in on
the general location, the operator will decrease
speed and allow the GPS to guide the vessel onto
the location and then weigh anchor. After
anchoring, the sampling vessel should come to rest
within 0.02 nautical miles (nm) of the "intended"
location; the actual coordinates of the anchorage
will be recorded on the Station Information Data
Sheet. While 0.02 nm is the target criteria for
accuracy in siting the station, the crew will be
granted a buffer zone of up to 0.05 nm from the
intended position in the event that there are
mitigating circumstances to justify exercising
that allowance (e.g., currents, obstacles, boat
traffic, etc). This buffer zone will be used only
for those situations when locating within the
0.02-nm goal is not feasible. In cases where the
vessel cannot navigate to within 0.05 nm of the
intended site (e.g., the site is actually
landlocked or the depth too shallow), the crew
will record the station as unsamplable and
referred the situation to the senior field
coordinator. The field coordinator who should
review the circumstances and make the final
decision to sample or not. The occurrence of
situations like that cropping up unexpectedly in
the field would be less likely if suspect areas
were reconnoitered prior to the monitoring window.
Special Case: Intensive Study - Northern
California Streams As this QAPP is being
prepared, reconnaissance conducted for the
sampling sites randomly selected for the Intensive
Sites Study of Northern California Streams has
indicated that >20 of the 30 sites are"
unsamplable" using conventional vessels and gear
(e.g., inaccessible by small vessel). Alternative
sampling procedures are currently being formulated
to meet these challenges. Composited
Surficial Sediment At each site, multiple sediment
grabs will be taken by van Veen sampler and the
surficial sediment layer (top 2-3 cm ) will be
collected by spatula or scoop and composited to
provide sediment for the analyses of chemical
contaminants, total organic carbon (TOC), toxicity
testing, and grain size determinations. The number
of grabs required to yield an adequate volume of
composited sediment depends on the surface area
described by the particular grab; however,
surficial sediment from a minimum of two grabs
should be composited for the final sample.
Surficial sediment from the individual grabs will
be combined in a clean, high-grade stainless steel
or Teflon vessel. Between grabs, the container of
composited sediment will be held on ice and
covered with a lid to protect the sample from
contamination (e.g., fuel or combustion products).
Each addition of sediment to the composite will be
blended in by stirring and the final mixture will
be stirred well to ensure a homogenous sample
before sub-samples for the various analyses are
taken as follows: Organic chemical contaminants -
approximately 500 cc of composited sediment will
be placed in a clean, prelabeled, glass
wide-mouth, 1-pint Mason jar or I-Chem jars (see
B5 for QC requirements). The sample will be held
on wet ice aboard and, upon transfer to shore
storage, the sample should be frozen unless it is
scheduled for extraction within 7 days; in that
case, the sample may be held at 4°C to await
processing. Inorganic chemical contaminants -
approximately 200 cc of composited sediment will
be placed in a clean, prelabeled, wide-mouth
Nalgene jar. The sample will be held on wet ice
while aboard and , upon transfer to shore storage,
the sample should be frozen unless it is scheduled
for digestion within 7 days; in that case, the
sample may be held at 4°C to await processing.
Toxicity testing - approximately 2000 - 4000 cc
(depends on the number of toxicity tests to be
performed) of composited sediment will be placed
in a clean, prelabeled, wide-mouth Nalgene jar.
The sample will be held on wet ice aboard and,
upon transfer to shore storage, the sample will be
held at 4°C (sample is not to be frozen) to await
further processing and initiation of testing
within 30 days of collection. TOC -
approximately 30 cc of composited sediment will be
placed in a small, clean, prelabeled polypropylene
bottle. The sample will be held on wet ice aboard
and upon transfer to shore storage, the sample
should be frozen to await further laboratory
analysis. Grain size determination -
approximately 120 cc of composited sediment will
be placed in a clean, prelabeled, wide-mouth
polypropylene jar. The sample will be held on wet
ice aboard and, upon transfer to the shore
storage, the sample will be held at 4°C (sample is
not to be frozen) to await further laboratory
processing. Additional quality control measures
pertaining to the composited sediment samples are
described in Section B5 Habitat Several
observations will be made in the field to document
certain attributes or conditions of the site that
will help to characterize the overall ecological
health. Observations will be made and noted for
the occurrence of submerged aquatic vegetation
(SAV), the occurrence of macroalgae beds/mats, and
the presence of trash/debris. Also, if there is
obvious evidence of disruptive anthropogenic
activities (e.g., dredging or landfill activity),
these observations should be noted with a brief
note on the appropriate field form.
