Conductivity Temperature and Depth (CTD) measurements were collected aboard the R/V HOS Davis, Cruise 04, to determine physical oceanographic parameters of the water column, and in some cases used to help guide sample collection as part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill sampling effort. Temperature, conductivity/salinity, depth, dissolved oxygen, and fluorometry data were collected onboard the HOS Davis, Cruise 04. The final product is a series of NetCDF files containing every CTD cast that has been processed and quality checked.

The 2012 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP 2012) is a study that is part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) program; program data is available since 1990 at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/naepdata/. NAEP 2012 (http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/) is a cross-sectional survey that assesses what America's students know and can do in economics. Students in grade 12 were sampled. NAEP 2012 assessments consist of national assessment in economics. Key statistics produced from NAEP 2012 are results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for populations of students (e.g., all fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g. female students, Hispanic students).

Brief background on Lake Andes fishing history, and data on current fish populations. Lake Andes was a much larger body of water prior to the construction of an artificial outlet structure that lowered the water level by 13 feet. Since Lake Andes is fed almost completely by ephemeral streams, it has and will dry up over a span of 1116 years. These fluctuating water levels are detrimental to most game fish, while less harmful to undesirable species like bullhead and carp. The Lake was stocked with northern pike fry and prespawn yellow perch in 2001 in an attempt to reintroduce game fish and hopefully establish a fishery. The population was sampled in May 2002 to determine the status of all fish species and to evaluate the success of northern pike and yellow perch stocking efforts.

Terrain data, as defined in FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix N: Data Capture Standards, describes the digital topographic data that was used to create the elevation data representing the terrain environment of a watershed and/or floodplain. Terrain data requirements allow for flexibility in the types of information provided as sources used to produce final terrain deliverables. Once this type of data is provided, FEMA will be able to account for the origins of the flood study elevation data. (Source: FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix N, Section N.1.2).

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

In 1988, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Service funded a contaminants project with the following objectives : 1 conduct a reconnaissancelevel field inspection of abandoned oil and gas exploration sites on the Alaska Peninsula Becharof National Wildlife Refuge, 2 identify and map abandoned physical remains of oil exploration activities and 3 collect soil samples for organochlorine, petroleum, and metal analysis. During the field survey, several sites warranting further study were identified. One such site was Bear Creek Well No., drilled as an exploration well by the Humble Oil and Refining Company now Exxon in the 1950s and abandoned for lack of commercial potential. The well pads still contained a large amount of wood and metal from buildings and machinery used during the exploration drilling. In early 1990, Refuge Manager Ronald Hood proposed to the Exxon officials involved in the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup that Exxon remove both the debris at the Bear Creek Well No. 1 site and the old culverts under the access road. Exxon complied, removing the debris and most of the culverts during 1990 and 1991. In 1993 Service personnel performed soil sampling at the well pads to identify any residual contamination left after Exxons abandonment of the site. Some petroleum and metal residues of concern were found on the pads. Also, the remains of the reserve pit were found to be eroding into a stream which flows into Bear Creek, an important salmon spawning stream. The reserve pit residues contained significant amounts of barium identified in an earlier report, petroleum, zinc, and a trace of polychlorinated biphyenls. It is recommended that this site be investigated further to determine the extent of the contamination related to the well pads and the reserve pit and the ecological risk associated with this site.

The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is the primary source of national and state-level data on domestic freight shipments by American establishments in mining, manufacturing, wholesale, auxiliaries, and selected retail industries. Data are provided on the types, origins and destinations, values, weights, modes of transport, distance shipped, and ton-miles of commodities shipped. The CFS is a shipper-based survey and is conducted every five years as part of the Economic Census. It provides a modal picture of national freight flows, and represents the only publicly available source of commodity flow data for the highway mode. The CFS was conducted in 1993, 1997, 2002, 2007 and most recently in 2012.

Summary
Description
Surface runoff or leachate from two landfills East Lake Landfill and the Dare County Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill have the potential to impact fish and wildlife resources associated with Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, Dare and Hyde Counties, North Carolina. Sediments were collected in March 2000 from 14 locations in canals downgradient from the landfills for laboratory assessment of sediment quality. Sediments were analyzed for metal As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn and organic contaminants PAHs and organochlorine pesticides. Chronic toxicity of the sediments was determined using 28d static renewal exposures with Hyalella azteca Crustacea: Amphipoda with survival and growth as the test endpoints. Acute toxicity was evaluated using static 96h exposures of H. azteca to sediment pore water. Sediments from four locations were selected for a 28d bioaccumulation study with Lumbriculus variegatus freshwater oligochaete based on the toxicity evaluation. Solidphase sediments were not acutely toxic to H. azteca, but length was significantly reduced in sediments from five locations. Pore waters from sediments collected at four locations were acutely toxic to H. azteca Bioaccumulation studies exhibited uptake of several metals and PAHs, demonstrating the availability of these contaminants to the biota. Residue analyses of the sediments showed that several metals and PAHs exceeded sediment quality guidelines, and pore water concentrations of several metals exceeded water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic wildlife. These data demonstrate that runoff or leachate from the landfills have reduced sediment quality and have the potential to adversely affect resident fish and wildlife resources associated with Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
