Guidelines for Water Reuse
(625/R-92/004)
Opportunities for water reuse and the
benefits that water reuse can present as
reduced investment for potable water systems
and other infrastructure are delineated in this
document. The key water reuse planning
issues are identified and discussed in a
manner that liberally employs case study
experience to illustrate the importance of each
issue and successful solutions.
This manual will be a valuable tool for
regulatory agencies at all levels of govern-
ment, engineers, planners, and all other
groups affected by water reuse programs.
A major portion of the manual deals with
the water quality requirements for reclaimed
water used in irrigating various vegetation and
crops, industrial cooling and process water,
construction projects, recreational projects,
aesthetic impoundments, ground-water
recharge, and stream augmentation. Although
direct potable water reuse is discussed, it is
dismissed at this time because more definitive
research on all microconstituents of raw and
treated municipal wastewater is needed.
A comprehensive listing of state water
reuse guidelines by category of reuse is
provided, along with an analysis of the
variations between states within each cat-
egory. This analysis is then followed with a
series of suggested guidelines for water
quality required for each category of reuse.
These guidelines are based on the state
guidelines and experiences described earlier,
and they offer a suggested starting point for
state, regional, and local governments that
plan to establish water reuse procedures, both
in terms of water quality requirements and
procedures for design, operation, and monitor-
ing.
Wastewater Treatment/Disposal for
Small Communities (625/R-92/005)
This manual describes the key issues that
must be addressed by small communities in
developing a wastewater management
program. Those key issues are planning,
management, site evaluation, wastewater
characteristics, and technological alternatives.
They are addressed in a straightforward,
easily understandable context to provide small
community decision makers and planners with
a resource that enables them to develop
optimum planning and management schemes;
determine the adequacy of site evaluation
proposals; and judge the rationality of pro-
posed collection and treatment methods.
Small community planners and manage-
ment officials can use this manual as a project
development guide. It can also be used with
more detailed technical resource documents
to guide consulting engineers and state
regulators through project design and con-
struction.
The manual is a useful tool to small
community planners and decision makers who
must integrate planning and management with
technology in the thousands of small rural
communities across the country.
Organic Air Emissions from Waste
Management Facilities
(625/R-92/003)
The organic chemicals contained in wastes
processed during waste management
operations can volatilize into the atmosphere
and cause toxic or carcinogenic effects or
contribute to ozone formation. Because air
emissions from waste management operations
pose a threat to human hearth and the
environment, regulations were developed to
control organic air emissions from these
operations
Printed on Recycled Paper
-------
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has promulgated standards
under the authority of Section 3004 of the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments
to the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). The standards limit
organic air emissions as a class from
process vents and equipment leaks at
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities requiring a permit under
Subtitle C of RCRA. EPA has also
promulgated standards under the authority
of Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
that limit emissions of benzene from
benzene waste operations.
This document will help improve
understanding of those air rules that apply
to waste management operations, focusing
on control technologies and the RCRA and
CAA regulations.

state government and leading academic
institutions.
The National Rural Clean Water
Program Symposium (625/R-92/006)
The Rural Clean Water Program
(RCWP), a federally sponsored nonpoint
source control program, was initiated in
1980 as an experimental effort to address
agricultural nonpoint source pollution
problems in rural watersheds across the
country. The RCWP was administered by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USOA), Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service, in cooperation with
the U.S. EPA and other USDA agencies.
This document contains the peer-
reviewed technical papers presented at the
National RCWP Symposium, held Septem-
ber 13-17,1991. These papers document
the results of the RCWP, which ended in
1992. The technical papers address the
following topics:
Water quality and land treatment
monitoring
Relating water quality to land
treatment
Land treatment and operation and
maintenance of best management
practices
Project coordination and farmer
participation
Institutional arrangements, program
administration and project spin-offs
Information and education
Technology transfer, lessons
learned, and socioeconomics
Future research needs.
These papers reflect the results of
projects implemented in 22 states. The
technical papers were written and re-
RCRA Corrective Action
Stabilization Technologies
(625/R-92/014)
EPA has begun implementing an
aggressive program strategy (stabilization)
to increase the number of RCRA cleanup
activities. While comprehensive facility
cleanup is the long-term goal for the RCRA
corrective action program, the new,
stabilization initiative emphasizes the
importance and value of controlling
releases and preventing the further spread
of contaminants.
This seminar publication provides an
overview of many technologies that can be
used in the stabilization concept. Tech-
nologies discussed include covers,
grouting, slurry walls, hydrofracture,
horizontal well drilling, vacuum extraction,
and bio vent ing.
Information included in each discussion
includes applications and limitations,
screening criteria, implementation issues,
and monitoring strategies.
Control of Lead and Copper In
Drinking Water (625/R-93/001)
This publication presents subjects
relating to the control of lead and copper in
drinking water systems. It is of interest to
system owners, operators, managers, and
local decision makers, such as town
officials, regarding drinking water treat-
ment requirements and the treatment
technologies suitable for them. State and
federal reguatory officials, consultants,
academicians, and manufacturers will also
find this information useful.
Chapter one discusses regulatory
issues, presenting both an overview of the
new federal requirements and a state
perspective on implementing these
requirements. Chapter two presents
information about the corrosion character-
istics of materials. Chapter three discusses
the design and implementation of a
corrosion monitoring program. Topics
include baseline monitoring, selecting an
analytical laboratory, monitoring at the
customer's tap, designing a monitoring
program using utility employees and
customers, and integrating water testing
and occupancy certification. Chapter four
focuses on corrosion control assessment,
including coupon tests, pipe loop tests,
and electrochemical methodologies for
corrosion measurement. Finally, corrosion
control strategies are addressed in chapte
five, which includes an overview of control
strategies as well as secondary effects.
Throughout, the document presents the
experience of utilities in monitoring,
assessment, and control strategies.
Wellhead Protection: A Guide for
Small Communities (625/R-93/002)
This document is designed to help smal
community decision makers, utility
personnel and other interested community
members. It provides the basic information
needed to begin a wellhead protection
program. Chapter two introduces some
basic concepts about ground water that
are useful in developing wellhead protec-
tion programs, ft discusses the hydrogeo-
logic cycle, types of aquifers, and funda-
mentals of groundwater movement.
Chapter three explains how ground water
becomes contaminated, sources of ground
water contamination, and the potential
effects on human health and local econo-
mies. It also discusses legislation and
regulations designed to protect ground
water supplies. Chapter four, the core of
the publication, presents the five steps for
developing a wellhead protection program.
The remaining sections present case
studies, lists of publications, financial
assistance programs and regional re-
sources.
Vitrification Technologies for
Treatment of Hazardous and *
Radioactive Waste (625/R-927d02)
Vitrification technologies are being
considered for remediating hazardous
waste sites and are currently being used to
treat high-level radiation waste. The
purpose of the technology is to immobilize
metals and destroy organics by pyrolysis.
This handbook presents the theory behind
the vitrification process and reviews
potential applications and limitations of
vitrification for waste treatment, including
radioactive waste.
The handbook describes both in situ
and &x situ methods and lists locations
where the process has been applied. It
further presents the various characteristics
of treated material, off-gas treatment
concerns, and cost, ft also provides a
description of the physical and chemical
-------
tests that are typically used in a treatabilrty
study.
This handbook is one of the few
comprehensive documents available on
vitrification technologies and will be useful
to scientists and engineers involved with
hazardous and radioactive waste disposal.
Control of Air Emissions from
Superfund SHes (625/R-92/012)
This document is an easy-to-use tool for
decision makers to evaluate air emission
control devices for use with Superfund
remediation actions. It will assist in the
selection of cost-effective control options.
The audience for this handbook is engi-
neers and scientists involved in preparing
remedial design (RD) plans for Superfund
sites. The handbook contains a summary
of existing information, and an overview of
the topic of air emission controls is
presented. It contains background informa-
tion to familiarize the user with the
technical basis for each control technol-
ogy. Specific guidance is provided to assist
the user in limiting the choices of potential
control technologies and in selecting a
specific set of control technologies for a
given application. References are included
for users seeking more detailed guidance.
The user must perform a detailed engi-
neering evaluation of the control options,
gather vendor information, and perform
feasibility studies.
Many of the cleanup processes used at
Superfund sites are emerging technologies
with limited operating histories. For these
technologies, data on which to base
emission estimates and control needs are
very limited. Furthermore, each Superfund
site has a unique set of contaminants and
site conditions. These she-specific factors
may force modifications of the cleanup
hardware or operating conditions which
could affect air emissions.
Technology Publication
Control of Pathogens and Vectors
In Sewage Sludge (625/R-92/013)
This document describes the federal
requirements concerning pathogens in
sewage sludge and septage destined for
land application or surface disposal, and it
provides guidance for meeting those
requirements. It is especially intended for
Owners and operators of municipal
wastewater treatment works.
Developers or marketers of sludge
treatment processes.
Groups that distribute and market
sludge products.
Individuals involved in applying
sludge or septage to land.
Regional, state, and local govern-
ment officials responsible for
implementing and enforcing the Part
503 Subpart D regulation. These
include the Regional Sludge Coordi-
nators, State Sludge Coordinators,
and permit writers.
Consultants to these groups.
Chapter 2 of this document discusses
why pathogen control is necessary, and
Chapters 3 through 6 summarize the
current federal requirements under
Subpart D of Part 503. Chapter 7 discuses
sampling and analytical techniques that
can be used to meet the monitoring
requirements. Chapters 8 and 9 describe
the sludge treatment processes listed
under Part 503. Chapter 10 discusses the
kind of support EPA's Pathogen Equiva-
lency Committee can provide to both the
regulated community and the permitting
authorities involved in the implementation
of the Part 503 requirements for pathogen
control.
Under authority of Sections 405(d) and
(e) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as
amended (33 U.S.C.A. §1251, etseq.),
EPA promulgates regulations to protect
public health and the environment from
any reasonably anticipated adverse effects
of certain pollutants that may be present in
sewage sludge. Standards for the Use or
Disposal of Sewage Sludge, 40 CFR Part
503, was promulgated on December 23,
1992. It establishes requirements for the
final use and disposal of sewage sludge in
three circumstances. First, the regulations
establish requirements for sewage sludge
when the sludge is applied to the land for a
beneficial purpose (including sewage
sludge or sewage sludge products that are
sold or given away for use in home
gardens). Second, the regulations estab-
lish standards for sludge when the sludge
is disposed on land by placing it on surface
disposal sites (including sewage
sludge-only landfills). Third, the regulations
establish requirements for sewage sludge
when incinerated.
The standards for each end use and
disposal practice consist of general
requirements, numerical limits on the
pollutant concentrations in sewage sludge,
management practices and, in some
cases, operational requirements. The final
rule also includes monitoring and
record-keeping requirements. Reporting
requirements are specified for POTWs with
a design flow rate equal to or greater than
one million gallons per day, and POTWs
that serve 10,000 people or more. The
standards apply to publicly and privately
owned treatment works that generate or
treat domestic sewage sludge, as well as
to any person who uses or disposes of
sewage sludge from such treatment works.
Small Community Water and
Wastewater Treatment
(625/R-92/010)
This report presents information on the
unique needs of small communities facing
new water and wastewater treatment
requirements. The information focuses on
treatment technologies suited for small
community application and encourages
effective communication within and
between small communities.
This report contains three main sec-
tions: technology overviews, small
community case studies, and a resource
directory. The technology overviews
address wastewater collection and
treatment technologies and drinking water
treatment technologies. Each overview
presents a process description and
discussions of operation and maintenance
requirements, technology limitations, and
financial considerations.
The case studies show how six small
communities addressed their site-specific
drinking water and wastewater problems.
Case studies were selected to illustrate the
use of cost-effective technologies and
available technical and financial assis-
tance.
The resource directory presents listings
of organizations (EPA; Coalition of
Environmental Training Centers; Rural
Community Assistance Program; U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Extension
Service; and National Rural Water
Association) that can provide a wide
variety of technical and financial services
to small communities.
This report will be a valuable resource
for small communities facing the chal-
lenges of improving and maintaining the
infrastructure that supports the provision of
safe drinking water and reliable wastewa-
ter collection and treatment.
GRoundwater Information Tracking
System with STATIstlcal Analysis
Capability (625/11-91/002)
The Nationwide GRoundwater Informa-
tion Tracking System with STATistical
Analysis Capability GRITS /STATis a
comprehensive ground-water database/
analysis system designed to store and
retrieve information generated through
-------
ground-water monitoring programs at
RCRA, CERCLA, and other regulated
facilities and sites.
The PC-based system provides data
entry, storage, and analysis capabilities for
the IBM-AT and compatible platforms
(640K RAM required). Establishing an
electronic database of ground-water
information is a must for efficient environ-
mental monitoring.
The database section of the system
stores facility information including latitude,
longitude, and state and county FIPS
codes. Well information includes well
construction, some hydrologic information,
and location codes. Parameter information
is selected individually or as custom
parameter groupings.
Replicates, duplicates, individual non-
detects (elution and matrix interferences),
laboratory data qualifiers, CAS numbers,
method codes, etc. are accommodated in
the data structures. Full editing capability
exists for the facility, well, date, and
parameter information.
Spreadsheet data entry is accomplished
by Lotus templates. Laboratory qualifiers
and individual non-detect values are
included in the template data entry. After
the information is entered in Lotus, the
GRITS/STAT system imports the informa-
tion and stores the data in the database.
Database report generation includes well x
parameter, parameter x date, date x well,
CME/paired results, single date, all dates,
well data report, parameter data report,
sampling dates report, and data scan
report.
The statistical data analysis require-
ments for detection, compliance and
corrective monitoring for RCRA subtitle C
and D are implemented. The statistical
analysis procedures include but are not
limited to ANOVA, Prediction Intervals,
Tolerance Intervals, Confidence Intervals,
Control Charts, Probability Plots, Normality
Tests, Homogeneity of Variance Tests, T-
Test, and Wilcoxin Rank Sum Test.
Defining the scope of the data analysis
allows selection of parameter, range of
dates, upgradient wells, downgradient
wells, and filtering of laboratory quality
data. The system provides a powerful tool
for statistical analysis, but proper guidance
should be obtained from the appropriate
permit or reference to appropriate guid-
ance documents. Proper statistical
guidance can be found in the following
documents:
Statistical Analysis of Ground- Water
Monitoring Data at RCRA Facilities -
Interim Final Guidance Document, 4/
89 (NTIS # PB89-151 047) -

Statistical Training Course for
Groundwater Monitoring Data
Analysis (EPA/530/R-93/003)
(Call 202-260-9327 to order.)
The database design allows exporting
of the electronically stored ground-water
information to other software applications
(e.g., SURFER Version 4). The information
stored in the GRITS/STAT system can
potentially be transferred to other future
database/tracking/analysis systems. The
development of GRITS/STAT has been a
collaborative effort between the U.S. EPA
Office of Solid Waste/Permits and State
Programs Division, Regions V and VII, and
the U.S. EPA Office of Research and
Development/Center for Environmental
Research Information (CERI).
EPA is establishing a database of
GRITS/STAT users. The database will
be used to notify GRITS/STAT users of
updates to the software and potential
problems and solutions encountered in
using the software. It you are a GRITS/
STAT user, send your name, organiza-
tion, address, and phone number to the

To find documents sponsored by more
than one laboratory, separate the abbre-
viations with "&" (e.g., AREAL & HERL -
will find documents sponsored by both
AREAL and HERL). Use this option
carefully as most documents are spon-
sored by only one lab. To find documents
sponsored by any of a number of laborato-
ries, separate the lab abbreviations with ","
(e.g., ERL-COR, ERL-ADA, ERL-GB to
find documents sponsored by either ERL-
COR or ERL-ADA or ERL-GB)
Enter a 5 and ? for the Sponsoring
Agency Search Help:
Enter words from the name of the
sponsoring agency. The sponsoring
agency is the organization that sponsors
the report or research. It is generally an
EPA office or laboratory. There can be
more than one sponsoring agency. A
report can also have a performing organi-
zation that actually writes or produces the
report. The performing organization is
listed in a separate field. To search for a
sponsoring agency, enter a word that is
part of the name of the agency. You do not
have to enter the entire agency name. To
search more than one word in the same
agency name or more than one agency
responsible for the same report, separate
the words by "&" (e.g., monitoring &
systems & laboratory - will retrieve records
with the words monitoring & systems &
laboratory in an agency name). To search
for more than one agency where either
agency may have sponsored the report,
separate the words by "," (e.g., corvallis,
duluth - will retrieve records where either
corvallis or duluth is in an agency name).
Enter a 6 and ? for Performing Organi-
zation Search help:
Enter words from the name of the
performing organization. The performing
organization is the organization or com-
pany that writes the report. It can be an
EPA office or laboratory, a contractor, a
grantee, etc. There can be more than one
performing organization. A report can also
have a sponsoring agency that sponsors
the report or research by issuing a
contract, grant, etc. The sponsoring
agency is listed in a separate field. To
search for a performing organization, entei
a word that is part of the name of the
organization (e.g., Booz). You do not have
to enter the entire organization name. To
search more than one word in the same
organization name or more than one
organization responsible for the same
report, separate the words by "&" (e.g.,
university & oregon - will retrieve records
with both university and oregon in an
organization name). To search for more
than one organization where either
organization wrote the report, separate the
words by"," (e.g., oregon, booz - will
retrieve records where either oregon or
booz is in an organization name).
Enter a 7 and ? for EPA report numbers
or substrings help:
Would you like to search by:
[1] Full EPA report numbers
[2] Organization codes (540, 600, 625)
[3] Series codes (0-10, D, J, M. X)
[R] Return to previous menu
Option 1 is to search for the full EPA
report number (e.g., EPA/600/2-88/064).
Option 2 is to search for the organiza-
tion code - the 3-digit number following the
"EPA/" in the report number. The organiza-
tion codes are 600, 625, or 540.
Option 3 is to search for the series
code, which is the number indicating what
the document type is. The series code
follows the organization and comes before
the year. In the report number "EPA/600/2-
88/064, " 600 is the organization code and
2 is the series code. Type ? at the prompt
for organization code or series code to get
a list.
Enter an 8 and ? for NTIS Order #
Search help:
Enter the entire NTIS order number
including punctuation. Most NTIS numbers
for EPA documents have one of the
following formats:
PBYR-###### (where YR is the year
and the #s represent an accession
number)
PB-###### (for records prior to 1980
where the #s represent an accession
number).
To search more than one number,
separate them by commas (e.g., PB89-
100000, PB89-100001).
Enter a 9 and ? for Contract or Grant #
Search help:
-------
Enter the full contract or grant number
including the punctuation (e.g., EPA-68-
01-0001. EPA-R-100001). Your input must
match the contract or grant number
exactly. However, you can use "*" on the
end as a wildcard (e.g., EPA-68-01-*).
Enter a 10 and ? for Report Year
Search help:
You can search a single year or use
one of the following operators to search
multiple years:
<(e.g.,<1985 for 1977-1984)
>(e.g., >1985 for 1986-present)
<=(e.g., <=1985 for 1977-1985)
>=(e.g., >-1985 for 1985-present)
... (e.g., 1985...1987for 1985-1987
inclusive)
Although the database has a few
records from as far back as 1968, H is only
complete beginning in 1977. Searching by
year can be extremely slow except when
you search for a single year. If you need to
use any of the operators listed in the
previous paragraph, the search can take
up to a few minutes.
Enter a O and ? for On-line Document
Ordering Information help:
You may order some of the documents
listed in this database by answering a
questionnaire from the Main Board. The
documents that indicate "Available from
CERI: Yes" in the full record display on this
database may be ordered on-line. All other
documents must be ordered from NTIS. To
use the on-line questionnaire to order
documents from CERI, type S from the
"Main Board Command?" prompt. Then
choose the number of the option that reads
"Order form for EPA ORD publications
from CERI." You will be prompted to enter
the EPA report number, which you can find
on the full record or summary record
display in this database. You may order up
to five publications each time you answer
the questionnaire. For questions about
publications or orders, you can leave a
message addressed to "CERI PUBS" on
the Main Board.
To order publications from NTIS, you
may call the sales desk at 703/487-4650 or
send your order to NTIS, 5285 Port Royal
Road, Springfield, VA 22161. In either
case, you will need to know the NTIS order
number (usually beginning with the prefix
PB). This number is listed in the full record
display on this database.

1993 AWWA Annual Conference
EPA's ORD and the Office of Ground-
water and Drinking Water (OGWDW) will
again cooperate in an exhibit at the June
6-10, 1993, American Waterworks
Association's Annual Conference in San
Antonio, Texas. Approximately 11,000
state and utility personnel along with
consultants, manufacturers and academi-
cians regularly attend this meeting.
As part of the exhibit, ORD and
OGWDW display and make available to
participants many publications that are
pertinent to the Agency's Drinking Water
Program. At last year's meeting almost
3,000 ORD publications were requested by
visitors to the booth.
1993 AWMA Annual Meeting
EPA uses the Air and Waste Manage-
ment Association's annual meeting as an
opportunity to display some of its research
and technology transfer achievements in
air pollution control and waste manage-
ment. The annual meeting is scheduled for
June 13-18,1993, in Denver, CO. A major
part of EPA's exhibit consists of distribut-
ing technology transfer products and
guidance documents from the Office of
Research and Development and the
program offices. In addition, demonstra-
tions are given of various computer
software packages available for assisting
the regulated community with compliance
problems.
