EPA’s National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) in the Office of Research and Development (ORD) led the development of the CADDIS Web site in response to strong demand within the EPA (e.g., the Office of Water) and from stakeholders and citizens across the United States seeking a defensible method for determining causes of ecological impairment. CADDIS guides users through EPA’s Stressor Identification process, with interactive tools and methods, worksheets, and examples to help PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56755 scientists and engineers evaluate causes of biological impairment observed in aquatic systems such as streams, lakes, and estuaries. Access: The CADDIS 2007 Web site can be accessed via the Internet at https://www.epa.gov/caddis/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about CADDIS, contact Rick Ziegler, NCEA, via phone: 202–564–2257, or e-mail: Ziegler.rick@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Thousands of water bodies in the United States have been reported to have an ‘‘unknown’’ cause of impairment. To formulate appropriate management actions for impaired water bodies, it is critical to identify the causes of biological impairment (e.g., excess fine sediments, nutrients, or toxic substances). Effective causal analyses call for knowledge of the mechanisms, symptoms, and stressorresponse relationships for various stressors, as well as the ability to use that knowledge to draw appropriate, defensible conclusions. NCEA developed CADDIS, a Web-based decision support system, to help regional, state, and tribal scientists perform causal analyses. With this release, CADDIS will also help scientists find, access, organize, and share information useful for causal evaluations of impairment in aquatic systems. It is based on EPA’s Stressor Identification process, which is an EPArecommended method for identifying causes of impairments in aquatic environments. EPA released the first version of CADDIS in 2006, after addressing comments from the public and independently selected, external peer reviewers. The first release of CADDIS included a step-by-step guide to conducting causal analysis, downloadable worksheets and examples, a library of conceptual models, and links to useful information sources. CADDIS 2007 adds considerable power and usability to the first release. Namely, CADDIS ecologists and Web specialists made the following changes: • Added eight modules, each describing a common stressor or candidate cause of biological impairment; the stressor modules include metals, sediments, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, ionic strength, flow alteration, and unspecified toxic chemicals. • Added material on data analysis including: Æ Information on how nine analytical methods (e.g., scatter plots, linear regression, predicting environmental E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1
