B.2 Performance Work Statement

B.2.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

B.2.1.1. Description

USGS requires the use of contractor services. to: acquire privacy-protected conservation practice data from the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (USDA- FSA); process and aggregate conservation practice data to protect producer privacy; provide the aggregated data to Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictions in support of their annual reporting needs; and to provide expert insights to the USGS on use of the privacy-protected data for research. Because it is the best interests of the U.S. Geological Survey for its personnel to become proficient in the procurement and aggregation of these data, the contractor will over the course of all years of the contract train qualified USGS scientists on methods used by the contractor to process the data.

B.2.1.2. Background

The Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey, Maryland-Delaware-DC Water Science Center, Baltimore, MD (MDWSC), works collaboratively with a government contractor to help MDWSC analysts and other regional researchers acquire and analyze data on implementation of conservation practices (i.e. activities designed to mitigate the impacts of agriculture and urbanization on the region's natural resources). Upon receiving those data, the contractor enters them into a database that is proprietary to the existing contractor where they are formatted to meet federal privacy standards. The goal of this research is to understand the potential for implementation of conservation practices to affect trends in water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and estuary.

B.2.1.3. Scope

USGS acquires all available BMP data from the USDA as described in the 1619 agreement. These data are used to facilitate analysis of water quality trends and to help states in the Chesapeake Bay watershed determine implementation. This ongoing project has helped the states show implementation in the agricultural sector as part of progress toward meeting the 2010 Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load for Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sediment (Bay TMDL). The USDA data are annually acquired and delivered to the Chesapeake Bay states and have been so since 2012. Over the previous years that these data have been used by the USGS, the data handling process that affects the final dataset has been fine-tuned but has remained largely unchanged. Through the life of this activity, the data have been analyzed to determine changes over time.

B.2.2. WORK REQUIREMENTS

B.2.2.1. Technical Requirements

The consultant will work with the CBP (Chesapeake Bay Program) Partners and manage the annual progress Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation review. They will work concurrently with data from USDA-NRCS and USDA- FSA as it relates to the annual progress review, and also for analyses of conservation practice implementation impacts.

Consultant will use the following skills to perform the data management and analysis that is needed to support this project:

- Ability to manage large datasets

- Familiarity with conservation and multi-agency environmental partnerships, BMP data (also known as conservation practice data) and relational database structures

- Familiarity with USDA-NRCS and USDA-FSA data management systems and understanding on how reach and communicate with the responsible USDA staff

- Understanding of the relationships among agricultural conservation practices and water quality

- Knowledge about and experience with, or the ability to quickly learn, State and Federal conservation practices and data tracking in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed states (PA, VA, MD, DE, WV, and NY)

- Establishing new and maintaining existing positive relationships with each of the technical contacts in the Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions

- Ability to maintain privacy of USDA conservation data sets by strictly adhering to federal data privacy requirements

- Ability to meet deadlines with quick turnaround times, commonly only a few days.

- Graduate-level training in environmental science

- Experience facilitating discussion among state, federal, and public stakeholders within conservation and multi-agency environmental organization reporting structures, to include use of the numerous environmental tracking databases and models.

- Experience and proven ability in negotiating data sharing and data handling agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

- Experience and proven ability to provide U.S. Geological Survey multi-jurisdictional studies with data and support that benefits USGS conservation practice impacts on the environment.

The selected consultant will manage the solicitation of data from USDA-NRCS and USDA-FSA, an activity that has been going on for more than six years. Upon receiving the USDA data, the consultant will create a database and apply computer code to remove duplicates and format the data to meet federal privacy standards. This work will be done on a very tight timeline; in the past this work has needed to be completed in as little as 5 days. For project success, the consultant must understand and be able to relate the data from various jurisdictions to USDA-NRCS and USDA-FSA conservation practice data, and to combine and format data that enables multiple analyses at varying geographic scales. The consultant must have excellent relationship skills and USDA data handling experience such that issues with the data sources can be quickly resolved.

B.2.2.2. Criteria for acceptance

- Crosswalk table meets the needs of the CBP and jurisdictions for understanding how NRCS practice names map to CBP practice names.

- Summary report contains information on the given year's acquisition timeline and data sources, whether there were any changes in the data handling process that affected that year's final dataset, any known quality control issues with the acquired data that could affect data interpretation, and the timeline and contents of data delivered to the six jurisdictions listed in the deliverable.

- Excel spreadsheets:

- Spreadsheets are consistently formatted so that the same categories of information are provided for each of the six relevant jurisdictions.

- Each Excel spreadsheet contains a "ReadMe" tab with brief descriptions of: the data included, the data source(s) including contact names and databases; the data aggregation process and how it affects reporting; the geographic coverage of included practices (i.e. for all counties within the watershed and jurisdiction boundary); the timeframe of included practices; and information on overlap or reporting among datasets that could affect interpretation.

- Data are presented in spreadsheets in a logical and organized fashion.

B.2.2.3. Deliverables

- A separate Excel spreadsheet for each of the 6 Chesapeake Bay Watershed jurisdictions containing USDA conservation practices (Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia). Each spreadsheet should include the time series of processed NRCS and FSA conservation practice data for that state from 2007 to most recent year, along with a "ReadMe" tab documenting and explaining the contents of the spreadsheet.

- An updated crosswalk table of how each NRCS practice is reported to the CBP's database of conservation practice names and associated land uses, with comments or suggestions for improvements as appropriate.

- A report summarizing that year's data handling process and documenting any changes or improvements in the most recent USDA conservation practice datasets over previous years.

- Additional preparation of datasets and expert input on analysis to assess conservation impacts, as requested and as resources allow (ongoing, to end of option period).

B.2.3. Timeline for annual support USDA BMP Data Processing and Analysis Activities

B.2.3.1. Coordinate with CBP Partners to prepare updated crosswalk of how each NRCS practice is reported to the Chesapeake Bay Program's database of conservation practice names and associated land uses and identify suggested improvements for progress.
