Introduction
"There are significant opportunities for industry to
reduce or prevent pollution at the source through cost-
effective changes in production, operations, and raw
materials use. Such changes offer industry substantial
savings in reduced raw material, pollution control, and
liability costs as well as help protect the environment and
reduce risks to worker health and safety."
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
Purpose of this Document
This annual guide contains information about publicly
sponsored pollution prevention resources and training
opportunities available across the Nation. Drawing
upon diverse sources, the document consolidates a
wide range of information not easily accessible by the
public. The goal of this publication is to provide
persons interested in learning more about pollution
prevention options with a single source of information
on:
Where to obtain pollution prevention training,
or who might be able to share experiences about
establishing a new training opportunity;
What publications and videos are available that
can help them learn more about pollution
prevention;
« Whom to contact at the State and Federal levels
for assistance;
Which university centers areconducting pollution
prevention research and training;
Which Federal, State, and nonprofitorganizations
can provide additional pollution prevention
information and technical assistance.
Where small businesses can obtain Technical
Assistance
Additional information on the topics covered in this
manual and on related subjects can be obtained by
accessing the Pollution Prevention Information
Clearinghouse (PPIC), which offers a wide range of free
information services (see Section 7, Pollution Prevention
Clearinghouses, Associations and Hotlines).
What Is Pollution Prevention?
Faced with the increasing costs and liabilities
associated with end-of-pipe waste management
practices, many waste generators are turning to pollution
prevention as a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective
alternative. Pollution prevention (also known as source
reduction) is defined as:
Anypracticewhichreduces the amount of any hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering the waste
streamorotherwisereleasedtotheenvironment(including
fugitive emissions) prior to recycling, treatment, or
disposal; and reduces the hazards to public health and the
environment associatedwith the release of such substances,
pollutants, or contaminants.1
Pollution prevention includes such techniques as
toxics use reduction, raw material substitution, process
or equipmentmodification, product redesign, training,
improved inventory control, production planning and
sequencing, and better management practices.
Pollution Prevention Is Our National Policy
Acknowledging the importance of pollution
prevention in the national environmental strategy,
Congress passed the landmark Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990. This Act establishes as national policy an
environmental management hierarchy that sets
pollution prevention as the option of first choice. For
1. Pollution Prevention Act of 1990,42 U.S.C.
§13101,et. seq.
1993 REFERENCE GUIDE TO POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES
-------
those wastes that are not capable of being reduced at
the source, this hierarchy considers recycling to be the
next best management option. A waste generator
should turn to treatment or disposal to solve a waste
generation problem only after source reduction and
recycling have been considered.
EPA's Leadership in Preventing Pollution
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 reinforces
EPA's continuing and aggressive effort to integrate
pollution prevention into all of its programs and activities.
Released in February 1991, EPA's "Pollution Prevention
Strategy" provides guidanceon incorporating pollution
prevention into ongoing programs and emphasizes
the need for continued strong regulatory and
enforcement programs. The strategy includes a plan
for achieving substantialvoluntaryreductionsoftargeted
high risk industrial chemicals through pollution
prevention. The plan, known as the 33/50 Program,
is aimed at reducing 17 high risk chemicals 33 percent
by the end of 1992 and at least 50 percent by the end
of 1995 (see Section V: U.S. EPA Pollution Prevention
Programs). The 33/50 Program isdesigned to maximize
private sector initiatives while challenging industry to
achieve ambitious prevention goals. The Agency's
pollution prevention strategy also calls for the
development of plans for the consumer, agricultural,
energy, transportation and Federal sectors.
Through these activities EPA strives to promote
pollution prevention efforts by other Federal agencies,
States, local governments, industry, universities,
nonprofit organizations, and the general, public. The
Agency's pollution prevention efforts include providing
technical information transfer and exchange
mechanisms, administering grant programs,
conducting research, and offering public outreach
services (contactthe PPICfor information aboutspecific
initiatives).
Updates to this Guide
Because of the high visibility and rapid growth of this
field, many pollution prevention efforts are in a state of
flux. We worked to ensure that the information in this
guide was as current as possible when the document
was sent to press. Given the dynamic character of the
field, however, some information will have changed
since it was collected. We plan to expand and update
this publication annually to include additional
information called to our attention in the future.

PPP, is a management approach that results in a
change from end-of-the-pipe measures for controlling
pollution to preventative measures that (1) minimize or
eliminate the production of pollution and (2) result in
savings to a company.
The manual concentrates on (1) current legal and

eration and prevent the release of pollutants into the
environment. The publication emphasizes the need
for widespread voluntary initiatives to reduce hazard-
ous waste generation. Answering such questions as,
"What is waste minimization?" and "Why should I
establish and implement a waste reduction program?"
the document then explains how manufacturers can
establish their own pollution prevention programs.
The guide briefly describes success stories from corpo-
rate and industry-specific programs and includes ap-
pendices on assistance resources, recommended read-
ing, and terminology.

WASTE REDUCTION ASSESSMENT AND TECH-
NOLOGY TRANSFER (WRATT) TRAINING
MANUAL (SECOND EDITION)
This manual was originally developed by the University
of North Carolina at Asheville's Environmental Quality
Institute, with funding provided by EPA Region IV and
the Tennessee Valley Authority. A second edition has
been compiled and edited by the University of
Tennessee's Center for Industrial Services. The manual
was designed to train retired engineers, State employ-
ees, and affiliated university personnel to design or
implement a waste reduction technical assistance pro-
gram, but it is also suitable for businesses and waste
assessment teams. The WRATT Training Manual
concentrates on procedures that motivate people to
search, screen, and put into practice measures involv-
ing administrative, material, or technology changes
that result in decreased waste generation. It includes
information on waste reduction awareness and incen-
tives, Federal safety standards, State and Federal regu-
lations, how to establish a waste reduction program
and conduct a waste assessment, and waste reduction
approaches for specific industries and waste types. The
manual includes an industry preassessment checklist
packet and appendices including sources of pollution
prevention information, bibliographies, a directory of
pollution prevention-related services, and a list of waste
exchanges.

The Source Reduction Research Partnership (SRRP)
has published a report entitled Potential for Source
Reduction and Recycling of Haloaenated Solvents.
This report is a result of a five year collaborative effort
between the Environmental Defense Fund (EOF)
and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California. The report consists of 12 separate
volumes: a comprehensive summary volume, a
separate lifecycle inventory and tradeoff analysis,
and ten industry-specific technical support reports.
The objectives of the SRRP study include a survey
and evaluation of existing and potential techniques
for reducing the generation of halogenated solvent
wastes, and thus their potential release into the
environment, across a wide range of the industrial
users of these solvents.
Each of the industry-specific volumes begins with
a description of the industry and processes where
halogenated solvents are used. Sources and causes
of releases are described and regulatory regimes
discussed for waste streams of concern. Subsequent
sections focus on source reduction opportunities
through chemical substitution, process modification,
product substitution and recovery/reuse.
Each volume is $10 and can be ordered from:

This two-part how-to series is produced by the League
of Women Voters. Cleaning Up Toxics At Home gives
simple, practical advice on how to reduce pollution
from households. The tape emphasizes safe use,
proper disposal, recycling, and reduction of the most
common household toxics: motor oil, paints, strippers,
pesticides, automotive products, and oven and drain
cleaners. Highlights include discussions of community
programs that collect and recycle or dispose of oil,
pesticides, and paint; a demonstration of simple ways
to prevent poisoning and injury from the misuse of
household chemicals; and tips from professional
housecleaners who use mild soaps and baking soda
instead of more toxic and expensivecleaning products.
Cleaning Up Toxics In Business shows how small
businesses can use a variety of innovative solutions to
comply with increasingly strict environmental
regulations. Businesses,from a brass bed manufacturer
to a termite control service, are finding ways to stop
pollution before it startssubstituting less hazardous
materials or techniques. Others, such as clry cleaners,
are investing in new equipment that recaptures and
reuses virtually all toxic chemicals in their shops. This
is a stimulating program of special interest to business
owners and their customers, as well as public policy
makers, regulatory agencies, and environmental studies
classes.

Less Is More highlights industry success stories proving
that pollution prevention is the best alternative to
costly end-of-the-pipe waste management strategies,
such as treatment and disposal. The success stories
draw from the experiences of both large and small
industries, which include electroplating, ink
manufacturing, metal parts manufacturing, pesticide
formulating, and polyethylene producing concerns.
The video describes three needs essential to successful
pollution prevention programs: top-down corporate
commitment to lead the way, employee involvement,
and procedures to track costs and potential liabilities.
Less Is More demonstrates that with regard to pollution
prevention, company innovation not regulation
is the key to cost savings, better worker health, and a
cleaner environment. Preventing industrial waste
generation isa "win-win" situation in which government
and industry can work as partners for a safer, cleaner
world.

Aggressive energy efficiency programs are enabling
many leading corporations to improve bottom-line
performance while meeting customer demands for
greater corporate responsibility. Energy efflcientdevices
can generate electric savings (negawatts) to displace
the output of up to 500 typical power plants. As an
added benefit, these technologies prevent pollution by
wringing more workout of each unit of energy. Energy
efficiency also creates jobs and reduces dependence on
foreign oil.
Transportation 2000 discusses different technologies

Overconsumption, consumer preferencefordisposable
products, and an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality
among the public have led to the Nation's current
municipal solid waste crisis. The U.S. generates 160
million tons of this waste each year. This amount,
compounded by shrinking landfill space and the "not
in my backyard" syndrome, leaves few waste
management options. Waste Not...Want Not offers
EPA's solution: a waste management hierarchy led by
source reduction and recycling. The video stresses that
government, industry, and the public must work
cooperatively if the national waste reduction goal of 25
percent by 1992 is to be met Industry leadership in
preventing pollution is illustrated in highlights of 3M's
Pollution Prevention Pays Program.

The training materials for this teleconference were
designed to give industry and State waste reduction
program and regulatory personnel practical information
on how to approach and implement a multimedia
waste reduction program. Theteleconference addresses
the need to train both industrial and regulatory
personnel. A portion of the teleconference addresses
the national strategy for pollution prevention,
strengthening State waste reduction programs and
opportunities for local governments to promote
pollution prevention. Another portion of the
teleconference outlines the incentives for industry to
implement waste reduction plans with successful
company case studies. These eight case studies detail
howthecompanies determined waste reduction options
and implemented the methods and techniques
identified. Finally, the teleconference covers waste
reduction assessment procedures that motivate people
to search, screen, and put into practice measures that
result in decreased waste generation. Different sessions
of the teleconference can be used as stand-alone
training courses. Theteleconference'straining materials
are on the cutting edge of identified waste reduction
needs for industry and State programs.

AGRICULTURE IN
CONCERT WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT (ACE)
The U.S. EPA and the Department of
Agriculture (USDA) have joined together to
undertake a grant program called Agriculture
in Concert with the Environment (ACE).
The primary purpose of the grant program is
to promote the adoption of sustainable
agriculture practices and reduce the use of
highly toxic herbicides and other pesticides.
Establishing a harmonious relationship
between agriculture and the environment
offers the opportunity for multiple gains on all
sides -forfarm owners, farm workers,
consumers, and communities as a -whole.
How does ACE Work?
ACE grants are distributed from a joint pool by
EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and the USDA
Cooperative State Research Service (CSRS). Host
institutions in four regions of the country (northeast,
south, north central, and west) manage the
evaluation, project selection, and distribution of
funds for their regions.
Management
ACE is jointly administered by USDA and EPA with
the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education
Program (SAREP). Evaluation panels in each of the
four regions include representatives from
government, academic and other research
institutions, thefarming industry, the environmental
community, and other private or public
organizations.

A joint project of the Department of Energy
(DOE) andEPA's Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), the NICE3
grant program strives to improve energy
efficiency, advance industrial competitiveness,
and reduce environmental emissions of
industry. Large-scale research and
demonstration projects are targeted at
industries with the highest energy consumption
and greatest levels of toxics and chemicals
released.
How NICE3 Works
Projects are expected to use the one-tfme grant
funds as seed money to overcome start-up risks. It
is expected that industry will finance continuation of
projects past the initial grantfunding period. As part
of the grant-funded phase, awardees will design,
test, demonstrate, and assess the feasibility of new
processes and/or equipment which can significantly
reduce generation of high-risk pollution.
Management
DOE Regional Support Offices and EPA Regional
Offices will work through state energy and
environment offices to actively seek out interested
state developmental, energy, and industry
organizations.

U.S. EPA's Pollution
Prevention Incentives
for States (PPIS)
The centerpiece of EPA's pollution prevention
grant activities for the last four years is the
ongoing Pollution Prevention Incentives for
States (PPIS). PPIS is intended to build and
support state pollution prevention capabilities
and to test, at the state level, innovative
pollution prevention approaches and
methodologies.
What types of activities are included?
* Institutionalizing multimedia pollution prevention
as an environmental management priority,
establishing prevention goals, developing strategies
to meet those goals, and integrating the pollution
prevention ethic into state or regional institutions.
* Other multimedia pollution prevention activities,
such as providing direct technical assistance to
businesses; collecting and analyzing data;
conducting outreach activities; developing
measures to determine progress in pollution
prevention; and identifying regulatory and non-
regulatory barriers and incentives to pollution
prevention.
Initiating demonstration projects that test and
support innovative pollution prevention approaches
and methodologies.
Who is eligible?
Eligible applicants are states and federally-
recognized Indian tribes. Awards are made through
EPA regional offices. Organizations selected for an
award must support half of the total cost of the
project in order to recieve the 50% match required
by the Pollution Prevention Act. For example, for a
total project costing $100,000, EPA would fund
$50,000 with the receiving organization supporting
$50,000.
National Eligibility Criteria
Must be pollution prevention as defined by the
Act.
Multimedia opportunities and impacts should be
identified
Areas for significant risk reduction should be
targeted
Other pollution prevention efforts in the state
should be leveraged and integrated into the
project
Measures of success are identified
A plan for dissemination of project results should
be identified
Along with the National Eligibility Criteria, regional
pollution prevention offices may develop their own
region specific guidances. Interested applicants
should contact their regional pollution prevention
coordinator (see the end of this section) for more
information.

U.S. EPA'S 33/50
Program
duction volume, high releases and offsite transfers of
the chemical relative to total production, opportuni-
ties for pollution prevention, and potential for caus-
ing detrimental health and environmental effects.
Announced early in 1991, EPA's 33/50 Program
is a voluntary pollution prevention initiative
seeking to achieve real reductions in pollution in
a relatively short period of time.
Under this program, EPA has identified 17 high
priority toxic chemicals. EPA's Administrator has
set a goal of reducing the total amount of these
chemicals released into the environment and
transferred offsite by 33 percent at the end of
1992 and by 50 percent at the end of 1995.
EPA is seeking reductions primarily through
pollution prevention practices going beyond
regulatory requirements. EPA also will be
encouraging industry to develop a preventive
approach seeking continuous environmental
improvement even beyond these reductions and.
these chemicals.
Expected Results
Success in the program will be measured by
nationwide reductions, rather than results at each
company orfacility. Thisapproach providesflexibility
and allows participating companies to develop
reduction strategies that are the most cost-effective
for their facilities.
In numeric terms, the goal is to reduce the amount
of releases and off-site transfers from the 1.4 billion
pounds reported in 1988 to 700 million pounds by
1995. EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) will be
used to track these reductions using 1988 data as a
baseline.
As of mid-November 1992, there are more than
1000 companies participating in the Program.
Selection of Chemicals
Each of the 17 chemicals was selected from TRI
based on a number of factors, including high pro-
Implementation
EPA is contacting companies to provide them
with information on the 33/50 Program and to
solicit their participation. Companies are being
asked to identify and implement cost-effective
pollution prevention practices related to the 17
chemicals and to develop written commitments
stating their reduction goals and how they plan to
achieve them. Access to these written commitment
statements is available at a public docket at EPA
Headquarters.
Relationship to Other Programs
The 33/50 Program is part of EPA's overall Pollution
Prevention Strategy and thefirst of the Agency's new
pollution prevention initiatives. It is also a major
component of the Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics' Existing Chemicals Revitalization Program.
All of the 33/50 Program chemicals are regulated
under one or more existing environmental statutes,
and the 33/50 Program is intended to complement,
not replace, ongoing EPA programs. All 1 7 targeted
chemicals will be subject to the Maximum Achievable
Control Technology (MACT) standards of the new
Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA believes that the incentive
for early reductions offered by the MACT provisions
will further the progress of the 33/50 Program.

Options for 33/50 Program
Companies
To assist companies in participating in the 33/50
Program, EPA is developing a series of bibliographic
reports for many of the industries that are major
releasersof the 17targetedchemicals. Eachreportwill:
* Summarize the types of processes within the
industrial category primarily responsible for re-
lease of the chemicals of concern
Describe general pollution prevention and recy-
cling alternatives applicable to the industrial pro-
cesses
Provide a bibliography of documents that may
provide detailed technical information on pollu-
tion prevention and recycling options for the
industrial processes.
The reports also will provide education to the gen-
eral public, EPA staff, and State and local government
employees on pollution prevention options that may
be available for various industrial processes.

Design for the
Environment (DfE)
Established in October 1992, EPA's Design for
the Environment Program (DfE) is a voluntary
cooperative program which promotes the
incorporation of environmental
considerations, and especially risk reduction,
at the earliest stages of product design.
As part of the Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics (OPPT), the DfE Program has initiated a
number of wide-ranging projects which operate
through two levels of involvement. Industry
Cooperative projects work with specific industry
segments to apply substitute assessment
methodology, share regulatory and comparative
risk information, and invoke behavioral change.
Infrastructure projects are aimed at changing aspects
of the general business environment which affect all
industries in order to remove barriers to behavior
change and provide models which encourage
businesses to adopt green design strategies.
Industry Cooperative Projects
EPA's DfE Program is working closely with trade
associations and individuals in three specific industry
segments. These cooperative projects will develop
Substitutes Assessments, which compare risk and
environmental trade-offs associated with alternative
chemicals, processes, and technologies and which
will provide models for other businesses to follow
when including environmental objectives in their
designs.
DfE Dry Cleaning Project
Two major dry cleaning associations which
represent thousands of American dry cleaners have
joined EPA in evaluating an alternative cleaning
process and new advances in microwave dryers.
This information will be part of the Substitute
Assessment for Dry Cleaning.
DfE Printing Project
Over 700 printers and the major printing trade
associations are assisting the development of four
Substitute Assessments - one for each major printing
process. Work on a draft Substitute Assessments for
Screen Reclamation and for Blanket Washes in
Lithography are underway.
DfE Computer Workstation Project
EPA is participating with several major computer
electronics companies in an industry initiative to
design a more environmentally friendly computer
workstation. The project is using the Cleaner
Technology Risk Scoring System and EPA information
on regulatory costs to inform the design process.
Infrastructure Projects
Chemical Design Project
The DfE Program has awarded 6 grants to
universities which fund research into alternate
synthesis of important industrial chemical pathways.
Results of the research will provide the chemical
industry with tools for production which reduce risk
and prevent pollution. The grants are providing a
model for further National Science Foundation grants.

National Pollution
Prevention
Environmental
Education Project
The U.S. EPA, working in partnership with State and local governments, industry,
educational institutions, textbook publishers, and other entities, is embarking on
aproject that would ultimately produce pollution prevention education materials
for students and teachers. This project will contribute to the establishment of an
environmental ethic and work toward improved environmental quality. The
materials to be produced will concentrate on kindergarten through grade 12, or
a specific segment of this broad group, and will emphasize that preventing
pollution at the source is preferable to managing pollutants after they are
produced.
A short-term goal is to provide our country's youth with an appreciation and an
understanding of the potential benefits of pollution prevention, including
conservation and recycling. The ultimate goal of the project is to instill in our
future leaders an ethic for more integrated environmental decisionmaking,
pollution prevention, and protection of human health and the environment.
This program is directed by an Agency-wide group, the National Pollution
Prevention Environmental Education Task Force. This task force comprises
membership from all EPA Regions, the Office of the Administrator, and the Office

The actual form of the materials to be produced will be determined with the
assistance of an Advisory Board to the task force. The task force will also
encourage the private production of complementing pollution prevention
education materials, e.g., videos, films, computer software, teaching aids,
textbooks, etc. Special emphasis and consideration will be given to the
environmental education needs of urban and rural youths.

Bibliographic Data Base of Educational Curriculum Material
As the first project of the National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education
Project, the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics has developed an annotated
bibliographic data base of educational curriculum material. This purpose of this
project is to identify the gaps in pollution prevention education materials and to
avoid duplicative efforts. This bibliography contains approximately 2,500
references to pollution prevention, including recycling, resource recovery, source
reduction, energy and water conservation, and composting. The data base is
accessible to the public on the PIES and includes, as available, the following
information: date of publication, a brief abstract, cost, and information on how
to obtain the publication.

U.S. EPA's Green
Lights Program
The U.S. EPA's Green Lights Program was
officially launched on January 16,1991. The
program's goal is to prevent pollution by
encouraging major US. institutions -
businesses, governments, and other
organizations - to use energy-efficient lighting.
Because lighting consumes electricity (about
25 percent of the national total) and more than
half the electricity used for lighting is wasted,
the Green Lights program offers a substantial
opportunity to prevent pollution, and to do so
at a profit. Lighting upgrades reduce electric
bills and maintenance costs and increase
lighting quality; typically, investments in
energy-efficient lighting yield 20 to 30 percent
rates of return per year.
How Green Lights Works
U.S. EPA promotes energy-efficient lighting by
asking major institutions to sign a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Agency; in this
MOU, the signatory commits to install energy-
efficient lighting in 90 percent of their space
nationwide over a 5-year period, but only where it is
profitable and where lighting quality is maintained
or improved. The U.S. EPA, in turn, offers program
participants a portfolio of technical support services
to assist them in upgrading their buildings.
The Green Lights Support Program
U.S.EPAcommitsto helpGreen Lights participants
with technical support projects that benefit Green
Lights Partners, help strengthen the infrastructure of
the energy-efficient lighting industry, and lower the
barriers to energy-efficient lighting.
A computerized decision supports system
developed by U.S. EPA provides Green Lights
corporations and governments a rapid way to survey
the lighting systems in their facilities, assess their
retrofit options, and select the best energy-efficient
lighting upgrades. The decision support system
software produces reports suitable for use by facility
managers, financial staff, and senior management.
The U.S. EPA has established a national lighting
product information program in conjunction with
utilities and other organizations. This program
provides brand name information so that purchasers
will be able to choose products with confidence. In
addition, it will allow innovative products to be
qualified rapidly, removing a significant barrier for
new technologies.
As part of the support program, U.S. EPA helps
Partners identify financing resources for energy-
efficient lighting. Green Lights Partners receive a
computerized directory of financing and incentive
programs offered by electric utilities, lighting
management companies, banks, and financing
companies. The database is updated and distributed
on a regular basis.
The U.S. EPA has also developed Green Lights Ally
programs for lighting manufacturers, service
providers, and utilities to promote the environmental,
economic, and quality benefits of energy-efficient
lighting. Allies commit to undertake the same level
of retrofits as Green Lights Partners, but also will
assist in developing the technical support programs.

This office was established in 1988 to help integrate
a multimedia pollution prevention ethic both inside
and outside EPA. Its primary role is to support pollution
prevention efforts by EPA's program offices, EPA Regions,
state and local governments, industry, and the public.

This program is EPA's voluntary pollution prevention
initiative to reduce national pollution releases and
offsite transfers of 17 toxic chemicals by 33 percent by
the end of! 992 and by 50 percent by the end of 1995.
Since the program's beginning in February 1991, more
than 1,000 companies have participated in the program.
EPA is using the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data for
1988 as a baseline.

This office has prime responsibility for EPA's pollution
prevention research. In 1987, ORD initiated the Waste
Minimization Research program that primarily
addressed ways to minimize hazardous wastes. In
1989, ORD began to build a multi-media research
program. The plan for expanding this program,
described in the Pollution Prevention Research Plan:
Report to Congress, focused on six functional areas of
pollution prevention research: 1) product research; 2)
process research; 3) recycling/reuse research; 4) social
science research; 5) anticipatory research; and 6)
technology transfer.
Over the past four years (FY 88-92) pollution
prevention research has grown in all sixfunctional areas
and has expanded to air, water, pesticides, and toxic
substances. Applied research to reduce hazardous/
industrial wastes has continued to be a priority, and has
focused primarily on "process" research related to
different industry sectors.

U.S. EPA OFFICE OF
AIR/SMALL BUSINESS
ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 place
new Federal controls on small sources of air
pollution that ultimately may affect hundreds
of thousands of small American businesses.
Section 507 of the Act is especially important
to small businesses. This section requires all
state governments and the Environmental
Protection Agency to establish a Small
Business Technical and Environmental
Compliance Assistance Program to help small
businesses contend with several new air
pollution responsibilities.
State Programs
While each state has been granted the flexibility to
tailor its program to meet the needs of industries
within their state, there are three mandatory
components;
a state ombudsman
a small business assistance program
a state compliance advisory panel
As programs may vary state to state, individuals
should contact their local program for specific details.
(see state contact list at the end of this section)
EPA Programs
The EPA must establish a Federal Small Business
Assistance Program which will provide state programs
with several forms of guidance and assistance. EPA

The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act established the Manufacturing Technology Center
(MTC) program as a new initiative at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The Centers are designed to bridge a technological gap between sources of manufacturing
technology and the small and mid-sized companies that need it. The program establishes regional
centers around the country to help manufacturers improve their productivity and competitiveness
in the marketplace through the transfer of appropriate, modern technology. Sources of technology
consist of a number of Government research and development laboratories, universities and other
research oriented organizations. The Centers provide a wide range of services including individual
project engineering, training courses, demonstrations, and assistance in selecting and using
software and equipment. What follows is a brief description of each Center's activities.

(InnCon)
DOE's Innovative Concepts Program (InnCon) provides seed-money grants
to encourage energy innovation and help new technologies move more quickly
from the conceptual stage into the marketplace. The InnCon program seeks to
be "first funder" for concept stage technology in specific problem areas, which
for the past two years has been waste minimization/utilization. The seed funding
is intended to fund concept definition to a stage at which other prospective
sponsors can more clearly assess the potential of the concept. After grant
completion, the funded projects showcase their technologies at a technology fair
which is the primary mechanism for exposing potential sponsors to the concepts.
The next technology fair will be held April 22-23,1993, in Austin, Texas.

Waste Reduction Advisory System (WRAS)
The WRAS is a user-friendly computerized waste management tool devel-
oped by the HWRIQ the U.S. EPA, and other State waste management
programs. It provides waste generators with a wide range of options for
reducing and recycling industrial waste. The WRAS has two parts: the
Waste Reduction Audit Checklist (WRAC) and the WRIB. The WRAC gives
individualized waste reduction assistance via a series of questions presented
in the audit checklist. It is designed to assess a facility's current waste
reduction activities and then identify potential waste reduction techniques
for each waste generating process and job operation. The WRIB provides
users with more than 300 literature abstracts and case studies on current
waste reduction technologies. Currently, the WRAS case study data base is
being merged with the PIES data base (see'the description of the PPIC in
this section).
A fully executable WRAS program, complete with a User's Guide, costs $95.
To access this program, a user needs a fully IBM compatible PC with at least
640 K of memory, a hard disk, and DOS version 2.1 or greater.

Research, Inc.
(WRITAR)
WRITAR is a private, independent, nonprofit organization designed to
identify waste reduction problems, help find their solutions, and facilitate
the dissemination of this information to a variety of public and private
organizations. The institute is also the current administrator of the U.S. EPA
grant to the National Roundtable of State Pollution Prevention Programs
(see above). WRITAR has an extensive background in designing and deliv-
ering persuasive pollution prevention training to Federal, State, and local
regulators, inspectors, and administrative staffers, as well as to corporate
and public audiences. This existing activity is supplemented by a 1991
grant from the U.S. EPA Office of Pollution Prevention to support pollution
prevention training for the States through U.S. EPA Regional staff. WRITAR
also conducts industry-specific training (primarily in metal finishing) for
more narrowly defined audiences.

Center for the
Southeast
(WRRC)
The WRRC was established in 1988 to provide multimedia waste reduction
support for the eight States of U.S. EPA Region IV (Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee).
The center has a collection of technical waste reduction information from
the national level, from Federal government agencies, from all 50 States,
and from numerous private sources. WRRC serves as a clearinghouse that
will give answers and information to people from Region IV who request it,
identify upcoming conferences and meetings, identify new publications,
and provide technical staff support to prepare reports on industry-specific
waste reduction questions. A key element of the center is the capacity to
assign trained engineers to repond to questions regarding specific waste
reduction problems. The center also provides support for onsite waste
reduction assessments and training for regulatory agency and industrial
personnel.
