Description:As part of this program, EPA asked the Strategic Assessment Branch (SAB) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to compile a data base of pollutant discharges entering Long Island Sound. The data base was to be extracted from NOAA's National Coastal Pollutant Discharge Inventory (NCPDI), an existing national data base developed by SAB that includes discharge estimates for all point, nonpoint, and riverine sources of waterborne pollutant discharge to coastal and oceanic waters from coastal counties. As part of the development of the data base, the original NCPDI discharge estimates (base year t982) were updated to reflect 1984 discharges using available monitored data. This report describes the data base and presents the results of an analysis of the pollutant discharge estimates contained in it. The report identifies the sources and contaminants for which discharge estimates have been compiled, describes the spatial and temporal organization of the data base, presents estimates of pollutant discharges from different sources, outlines the methodologies used to develop the estimates, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the discharge estimates.
