--- Page 1 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 1 Quick Start Guide EPA State Mapping Projects Quick Start Guide Mapping Program Overview The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 State Mapping Project is a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform that is used as an environmental emergency response tool. The Mapping Project brings public (Federal, Tribal, State, and local) entities as well as private sector emergency responders together for spill response and pre-planning. During an emergency response, Federal, Tribal, and State On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) may use the program to gain situational awareness of downstream/downwind vulnerabilities, as well as upstream/upwind potential responsible parties, and much more. For contingency planning, the project can introduce facilities to the communities which may be impacted during a hazardous material and/or petroleum release. The program can also be used during exercises of facility response plans by providing participants access to useful data layers such as: endangered/protected species and sensitive habitats; sanitary and storm sewer systems; facility discharge and permit discharge points; drinking water infrastructure; other pollution sources (facilities, oil wells, pipelines, railroads, etc.); and vulnerable populations (schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.). --- Page 2 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 2 Quick Start Guide Contents Mapping Program Overview ..................................................................................................................... 1 Accessing the Project ...................................................................................................................................... 3 Multi-Factor Authentication .......................................................................................................................... 5 Regional & Other Maps ............................................................................................................................... 12 Troubleshooting ............................................................................................................................................ 12 General Mapping Functions .................................................................................................................... 12 Search Location ............................................................................................................................................ 13 Interactive Layers ......................................................................................................................................... 13 Helpful Tools and Hints ............................................................................................................................... 23 Additional Tools and Widgets .................................................................................................................. 25 Draw Tool ...................................................................................................................................................... 25 Add Data ........................................................................................................................................................ 26 Elevation Profile ........................................................................................................................................... 26 Find Address ................................................................................................................................................. 26 Measurement Tool ........................................................................................................................................ 26 Trace Downstream ....................................................................................................................................... 27 Emergency Response (ER) Widgets ............................................................................................................ 27 Weather Radar Widget ................................................................................................................................ 28 Print ............................................................................................................................................................... 28 Quick Reference Scenario Guides ........................................................................................................... 29 Spill into Waterway ...................................................................................................................................... 29 Release in Air ................................................................................................................................................ 34 Reporting Tool Feature ............................................................................................................................ 41 Export to Excel .............................................................................................................................................. 41 County Fact Sheet Report ............................................................................................................................ 41 FRP Report Planning ................................................................................................................................... 41 Oil Spill Report ............................................................................................................................................. 41 Downstream Vulnerable Populations ......................................................................................................... 41 Pipe and Rail Crossings -

Follow the steps provided below to download and install an ‘Authenticator’ App on your mobile device and use the ‘Authenticator’ app to login to these applications. If your mobile device is unavailable or you do not have the authenticator app installed on your mobile device, follow the “Alternate Multi-Factor Authentication” steps on Page 9. Prior to registering an authenticator application: • Decide which mobile device you will use to authenticate. • Download the Authenticator app on the mobile device from the App Store (Apple), Google Play, or Microsoft Store. • Have the mobile device and app ready to authenticate. • Login to the ERT Web Application from your desktop/laptop (NOT the mobile device). Note: The Microsoft (MS) Authenticator app is an Agency approved app available for download from the ‘App Catalog’ on your mobile device. EPA ERT recommends using the MS Authenticator app. However, MFA may also be configured using the Google Authenticator and SecureAuth apps. Beware of malicious authenticator apps. Only use authenticator apps from reputable sources. Download and install the Authenticator Mobile App: 1. Open the App Catalog (or the application store specific to your device) on your mobile device. 2. In the ‘Search’ window, search for MS Authenticator 3. Tap on the ‘Download’ icon. --- Page 6 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 6 Quick Start Guide 4. Tap on ‘Open’ to open the App. 5. Tap on ‘I Agree.’ 6. You are now ready to ‘Scan a QR code’ to enable Multi-Factor Authentication. Continue to the following steps to get to the QR code. Logging in and configuring MFA: Note: It is best practice to perform initial MFA configuration from your desktop/laptop browser rather than a mobile device. 1. At the login screen of one of the ERT websites (epa.response.gov; Viper; or WebEOC), enter your account credentials, then click ‘Login.’ --- Page 7 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 7 Quick Start Guide 2. Click on ‘Configure MFA.’ 3. At the ‘Enroll Authenticator App’ window, click ‘Continue.’ The ‘Continue’ button will guide you through registering an Authenticator App on your mobile device. The ‘Ignore’ button registers your account to receive an authentication code via email rather than registering an Authenticator App. This option can be updated later if you decide to register an Authenticator App. If you do not receive an email, please check your Junk/Clutter (SPAM) folders. 4. Click ‘Continue.’ Note: The default authentication mode can be changed in the future if necessary. --- Page 8 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 8 Quick Start Guide 5. Open the Authenticator App on your mobile device. 6. Tap the Plus (+) sign. 7. Select ‘Personal account.’ 8. On your mobile device, click on ‘Scan QR code’ and point the mobile device to the QR Code on your desktop/laptop. 9. Click ‘Continue.’ Once the QR Code is scanned, enter the six-digit One-Time Passcode (OTP) from the Authenticator App. --- Page 9 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 9 Quick Start Guide 10. You will receive a message that your account has been validated. Click ‘Finish.’ To continue gaining access to the Mapping Project, return to Step 4 of “Accessing the Project.” Note: After configuring/enrolling MFA, the next time you log in you will be prompted to enter the six (6) digit OTP on your mobile device in the Authenticator app. You will no longer need to Scan the QR code. After initial MFA configuration, if you are using your mobile device to access an ERT web application, the copy and paste feature can be used when prompted for the OTP. Alternate Multi-F actor Authentication: If your mobile device is unavailable or you do not have the authenticator app installed on your mobile device, you have the option to receive a one-time code sent to your e-mail instead of using the Multi-Factor Authenticator App discussed in the previous section. 1. At the login screen, enter your login information. 2. Click on ‘Sign in another way.’ --- Page 10 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 10 Quick Start Guide 3. Select ‘Receive an email.’ 4. Click on ‘Send Code.’ 5. To continue to receive your OTP via email from this point on, put a check mark in ‘Remember my selection.’ Changing Authentication Options: After entering your OTP, put a checkmark in the box for “Access my options after authentication’ and click ‘Sign In.’ This allows you to switch your default MFA method and allows you to change Authenticator Apps when you switch mobile devices from the one originally used to configure MFA. Changing your Default Multi-F actor Authentication Method: 1. If you want to switch your default Authentication Method, select ‘Change my Configuration options.’ For example, if you originally registered to receive a code via e-mail as your default Authentication Method and would like to switch to using an MFA App on your mobile device instead, select “Change My Configuration Options” and click ‘Sign In.’ --- Page 11 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 11 Quick Start Guide 2. Select your default Authentication method by clicking on the dropdown. 3. Click ‘Save.’ Registering a M ulti-Factor Authenticator App on a different Mobile Device: If your mobile device is replaced and you need to enroll a new Authenticator App, follow the steps below on your desktop/laptop computer. Be sure to install the App on your new mobile device and have the device ready before proceeding. Only ONE mobile device can be registered for MFA. 1. Place a check mark in ‘Access my options after authentication.’ 2. Select ‘Receive an email.’ 3. Click ‘Send Code.’ --- Page 12 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 12 Quick Start Guide 4. Click on ‘Enroll my authentication application.’ 5. Follow the steps outlined earlier in the “Logging in and Configuring MFA” section of this guide. Regional & Other Maps In addition to State Maps, the Interactive Mapping Tab houses Regional and Other Maps. Each mapping tool varies with accessibility. Click on desired project page. You may need to follow the instructions on the map’s project page to request access from the listed OSC to gain access. Each mapping project houses different information, but generally functions the same as the State Mapping Projects that are detailed in this guide. Note: The Reporting Tools and Widgets described in this Reference Guide may not be applicable to the Regional or “Other” Mapping Projects listed under the Interactive Mapping Tab pictured above. This guide focuses on the individual State Mapping Project platform. Troubleshooting If experiencing issues accessing the Mapping Projects, try a different browser. If issues persist, notify the OSC admin for the Mapping Project. If experiencing issues accessing a specific data layer or using a reporting tool, notify the OSC admin for the Mapping Project. General Mapping Functions The EPA State Mapping Projects contain a multitude of functions that can assist even the most beginner personnel in creating a map that can accurately represent various environmental scenarios. From pre-planning events to emergency response dilemmas, this mapping program can provide visual aids, contact information, environmental data, and much more! The various state specific Mapping Projects contain three main components, which are explained in depth later in this document. The three components are: 1. Base Map Gallery: Various background maps that can be utilized to show aerial photos, topographic (topo) maps, navigational charts, etc. 2. Layers: Geospatial data layers can easily be turned on/off to display exactly what is needed for a concise and digestible map. When you access the layers, some layers show the title in black, and some are greyed out. The greyed-out layers will be available as you zoom in on the map to not overwhelm the map extent. It should also be noted that some layers have sub-layers of data available. These sub-layers are available by clicking on the “ ” icon next to the main layer. --- Page 13 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 13 Quick Start Guide 3. Widgets: Small tools or applications that perform a function in the Mapping Project. Some examples include: Emergency Response Guidebook, ALOHA Plume import, Print, Drawing Tools, Report generation Tools, etc. Search Location 1. Enter response location information into the “Find address or place” bar at the top of the page. Verify correct location was selected after zoom into location. Example: 25089 Center Ridge Rd, Westlake OH 2. Select “Basemap Gallery” . Choose desired background basemap for accurate representation from provided list. Topographic view is the default setting. Hint: Select a map that will allow you to easily view waterways, topography, or other key features that best represent your data. Sometimes base map colors can easily disguise icons and make searching for information more difficult. Hint: Use draw tool to outline site boundary or place a “Push Pin” (See Additional Tools and Widgets Section: Draw Tool). This will help you easily locate your site on the map once zoomed out and give out site details such as total area and perimeter distance. Interactive Layers 1. Click on the “Data” Icon. Note: The available layers will integrate datasets onto the basemap and produce symbology that is overlayed on to the map. The symbols can be clicked on for additional information, if available. Note: Some of the Data Layers have Sub-Layers available. When you are in the Layer, click on the drop-down triangle to the left to display the Sub- Site Address Search Site Location Basemap Gallery Active Basemap Polygon Draw Tool Drawing Widget --- Page 14 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 14 Quick Start Guide Layers.

Legend a. Click on the icon on the toolbar. This will open the maps legend displaying a key for all layer icons currently turned on. This tool is extremely helpful when looking for a quick reference of icon description or area color designation when multiple layers are turned on at one time. 2. Search All Data a. Click on the icon on the toolbar. This will open a window with all available data layers, along with a search bar along the top. When needing to turn on layers from multiple agencies such as oil/natural gas pipelines or all oil/chemical storage tanks, type in a specific keyword such as “pipeline” or “tank.” This prevents the need to search through every agency layer individually and saves time in emergency situations. b. Activate Layer Groups i. This tool allows the user to easily activate all layers for a County Fact Sheet Report, FRP Report, Oil Spill Report, or a Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report. You may activate all Hydrology Layers, HUC 12 Watershed Layers, or HUC 10 Watershed Layers. Click the desired layer group to activate. Note: This can lead to an overwhelming and/or busy map image. Not all sub layers are necessary and may cause lagging while trying to print. Click “Turn off all layers” to deactivate all. --- Page 24 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 24 Quick Start Guide ii. Return to step A to search through applicable layers for a more concise map image. Having too many data layers visible at once on your map can cause lagging and may delay printing. 3. Geospatial Layer Dialog Boxes a. When layers are turned on, an icon will appear over a location point pertaining to that layer. Almost all icons have data or information that will appear in a dialog box when clicked. Each icon provides a dialog box with important data such as location address, contact information, permit/tank/well I.D. numbers, and even links to government sites with additional information. If there is a line with a blue word that says, “More Information” or “Link,” clicking on that will take you to an external website or page with additional information. Occasionally, you will find an icon that states, “no information available.” In this case, you can either double check the attribute table (more info in the next section) or try searching in Google Maps for an address to type into your internet browser. In most emergency situations, a local agency (fire or police) will be able to provide a name of the specific building in reference which will aid in your search for address or contact information. 4. Attribute Table a. Click on the icon on the toolbar for easy access to the Attribute Table. b. The attribute table tool shows all the information coming from a specific layer and displays them into an easy-to-read list for either viewing or printing. To access this tool, go to whatever layer you need information for and select the icon next to layer tab. This will open a dropdown menu with multiple options, select the “view in attribute table” option. Once the attribute table is opened, it will provide a list of all records for the specific layer. To facilitate your search, move the frame of the map over the area of importance and click on the “Filter by map extent” option near the top of the Table. This will provide the information for locations ONLY within your map’s viewing frame. --- Page 25 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 25 Quick Start Guide Additional Tools and Widgets Note: Some widgets or tools may not be available across all interactive mapping platforms. Draw Tool Can be used to place/add temporal elements such as lines, points, areas, or text. These elements can represent, a description, flow direction lines, boom placement, response notes, etc. Several agencies use the draw tool to document what happened on the spill to include in a final report. This tool is also especially useful during exercises to document and memorialize booming locations, impacted wildlife, road closures, ICP locations, etc. • Select the “Draw” tool in the toolbar. Next, select the draw mode option and follow the directions on the screen to begin. • Once your drawing is complete, you can modify various features, including color. Option within NOAA “Wind Speed & Direction” layer to display stations collection stream data. Polygon Draw Tool (used in this example) Draw Tool --- Page 26 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 26 Quick Start Guide Note: All elements created with the “Draw” tool will disappear after reloading the application. Add Data Add your organization’s GIS layers or ArcGIS Online layers to the Map View. This does not permanently add the files to the Project, they will disappear after reloading the application. If allowed, you can use the Print Icon to capture the data on paper maps for use in the field. Elevation Profile Use to draw a line from Point A to B and it will display the elevation profile along the entire line. This can be useful to see if a facility is uphill from a waterway, to see the elevation of secondary containment, or to see the depth of a waterway (bank to bank). Find Address Can search for a property by address, coordinates, or Inspector (by dropping a pin on the map). The Inspector search is useful when you do not know the address of a parcel or in urban areas to find the closest address to a specific point on the map. Measurement Tool Can be used to figure out the area of a polygon (square miles, acres, square feet); length of a line (miles, feet, meters, nautical miles) and distance between two GPS points. --- Page 27 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 27 Quick Start Guide Trace Downstream Can be used to view the path of a spill downstream using the spill location. This search is useful in identifying the waterbodies the spill would migrate through and the potential vulnerable receptors or areas within the spill path. Emergency Response (ER) Widgets 1. Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG): Select a point on the map, then select the chemical/placard, specific chemical, spill size (small or large), time of spill (day or night), wind direction (or use lookup) and solve. The result is a red evacuation box that also displays the census data for that specific area. Note: A more detailed step by step process is outlined in the “Release in Air” section. The ERG Widget may temporarily be unavailable. 2. Aloha Threat Zone: After running a plume model in Aloha (part of the EPA CAMEO Suite), save the plume model as a “.pas” file. Go into this Widget and choose the previously saved file, then click the point on the map where the spill occurred.

This section will outline these new features to provide a brief overview. Note: Each reporting tool functions similarly, however the report results differ depending on the type of dataset information that is compiled or selected while generating the report. Export to Excel The Export to Excel Tool provides the ability to download an Excel Spreadsheet of tabular data based on the screening extent of the map chosen. County Fact Sheet Report The County Fact Sheet Report Tool will generate and compile available County data into a PDF report based on the area of interest chosen. FRP Report Planning The FRP Report Planning Tool is used to identify key features downstream of a FRP (Facility Response Plan) facility location. The tool will generate and compile the FRP Facility location(s) and include the downstream vulnerable populations (i.e. hospitals, schools, nursing homes), environmentally sensitive areas (i.e. wetlands, conservation areas), sensitive or threatened species, drinking water intakes, and waterways, into a PDF report based on the area of interest chosen. These features are all required information for a facility to include in their Facility Response Plan. The FRP Report Planning Tool allows regulators, FRP facilities, and their contractors to draw a line (with ½ mile buffer) downstream of a facility (from the FRP Planning Distance calculation) to identify the vulnerable populations and sensitive areas downstream. Oil Spill Report The Oil Spill Report Tool generates and compiles all potential oil sources (FRP facilities, oil wells, oil pipelines, RCRAs, Tanks, etc.) based on the area of interest chosen. The resulting PDF report contains contact information for all potential sources. Downstream Vulnerable Populations Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report provides the ability to draw a line downstream (or downwind for an air release) from a location and search for vulnerable populations (such as tribal areas, water intakes, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, sensitive species, critical habitats, and protected areas). The PDF report generated will provide the location information of the downstream vulnerable populations identified based on the area of interest chosen. Pipe and Rail Crossings - Downstream Vulnerable Populations Pipe and Rail Crossings Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report tool generates a Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report, as described in the paragraph above, by using Pipeline Crossing Spill Projections and Railroad Crossing Spill Projections data. Data from both pipes and rails that cross streams in the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is analyzed. This is helpful in case of a railway or pipeline emergency. --- Page 42 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 42 Quick Start Guide Each Pipeline Crossing and Railroad Crossing intersects have a Crossing ID number in the database which includes the Company or Owner Name, the type of crossing (stream/river or artificial path), and its location information. These crossing points are then used to create their respective spill projections in miles into the surrounding area. To use this tool, you must first use the Crossing ID Filter tool then select the Spill Projection on the present tool. The Downstream Vulnerable Populations report is produced in PDF format based on the Pipeline and/or Railroad crossings identified. See “Using the Reporting Tools” Section below for more details. Crossing ID Filter The Crossing ID Filter tool does not generate a report by itself. This tool must be used to filter out Pipeline Crossing Spill Projections (miles) and/or Railroad Crossing Spill Projections (miles) to better focus on the area of concern. Filter the spill projections by choosing the pipeline or railways designated crossing ID number or by choosing a County of interest. This tool is useful when the data layers “EPA Inland Sensitivity Atlas,” “Pipeline Crossing Spill Projections,” and “Railroad Crossing Spill Projections” are selected and visible on the map extent. Only highlighting the Crossing ID number(s) of interest will keep the map concise and filter out unnecessary spill projection data. Using the Reporting Tools Once your site location, points of interest, or a general map area have been determined, continue to Step 1. 1. Select the “Reporting Tools” tab at the right end of the bottom toolbar. 2. Choose from: Export to Excel County Fact Sheet FRP Report Oil Spill Report Downstream Vulnerable Populations Pipe and Rail Crossings - Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report or the Crossing ID Filter from the Reporting Tools toolbar. Note: Each report listed above generates unique results. There will be consistent results (i.e., lakes & ponds) that are listed in many reports. It may be necessary to generate multiple types of reports for well-rounded results. --- Page 43 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 43 Quick Start Guide 3. You may enter a buffer distance around the location/area of interest for which you would like data to be added to the report. 4. Search for a specific address (Place name > Search for a location) or manually draw an area using the “Draw” tab. a. Point: This draw tool allows you to select a point and search for various layer data within your buffer zone when the specific address is unknown. b. Polyline: This draw tool allows you to search for various data layer information within your buffer distance along a manually drawn line. This function is useful for collecting information along a road or waterway. c. Extent: This drawing tool allows you to create a rectangular, circular or polygon boundary around an area and search for data layer information within your buffer zone. This is useful when searching for information around a plot of land when the address is unknown. 5. Click “Get Results” to view the data layers searched. The results will appear in a list. The number of points containing information within the designated buffer zone will appear on the right end of each data label. a. Click the small gears for any data layer to toggle on/off data fields that are relevant/irrelevant to your report. If you do not wish to display an entire data layer, click the gear, and uncheck specific undesired fields. Note: Some reports may generate an excessive number of data records. Therefore, only selecting specific data layers and fields may be necessary for conciseness. --- Page 44 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 44 Quick Start Guide 6. Click the print icon, choose the page layout you want, and click "Print". a. Note: The report will generate a map image displaying the layers visible in the report, this process may take a few minutes. This map will retain the map extent displayed on your screen when you click print. 7. The summary produced can be saved as a PDF file. --- Page 45 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 45 Quick Start Guide Reporting Tools Continued When using the Pipe and Rail Crossings - Downstream Vulnerable Populations Report, there are multiple data layers that may be beneficial to your search in the event of a pipeline or railway emergency.

This will keep the map concise and filter out unnecessary projection data. See “Crossing ID Filter” in the “Reporting Tool Feature” section above. --- Page 49 --- EPA State Mapping Projects Page 49 Quick Start Guide GRP Report Generator Response strategies have been prepared in the form of Geographic Response Plans (GRP), sometimes called Geographic Response Strategies (GRS). GRPs are map based planning documents intended to be used as a tool employed by first responders. The GRPs help local responders effectively deploy containment and recovery equipment in the event of a spill to navigable waterways. The GRP Form is completed in ESRI’s Survey123 application and instantaneously uploaded into the Mapping Project. GRPs include information on staging locations downstream of potential sources (railroad, pipeline, and facilities), image(s) of the area for which the GRP was developed, a list of local emergency contacts, equipment required to deploy and maintain the strategy (feet of boom, number of anchors, personnel, etc.), and identification of sensitive natural, cultural, and human use features. To access a specific report, follow the directions below. 1. Select “Search All Data” tab from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. a. Select the box titled “GRP Response Strategy Survey” to activate layer. 2. Search for location by address or zoom to desired area. 3. Click on a GRP Icon to display its data. a.
