A. INTRODUCTION
The task of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to protect the
health and welfare of the American people by controlling pollution hazards. To do so,
the Agency sets and enforces air and water pollution standards, monitors pollution,
controls pesticides, sets standards for noise and general ambient standards for
radiation, works on solid waste management, conducts research and demonstration
projects, and helps State and local environmental efforts.
EPA is a regulatory agency created through an executive reorganization plan
devised to consolidate the Federal Government's environmental regulatory activities
into a single agency. The plan was sent by the President to the Congress on July 9.
1970, and the Agency began operation on December 2, 1970.
The Agency has more than 13,000 employees. Its annual operating budget is over one
billion dollars. In addition, EPA administers a $43 billion program for constructing sewage
treatment plants.
Organizationally, EPA is headed by an Administrator, who is supported by a
Deputy Administrator and six Assistant Administrators responsible for planning and
management, enforcement, water and hazardous materials, air and waste management
toxic substances, and research and development. In addition, the Agency has six
principal supporting offices: Legislation, civil rights, international activities, federal
activities, public affairs, and general counsel.
To insure that EPA is truly responsive to the American people, it has established a
strong field organization with regional offices in ten major cities: Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle.
These regional offices are the "cutting-edge" for the major EPA programs.
The Agency's research and development programs are centered at four
environmental research centers in Las Vegas, Nevada; Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Corvallis, Oregon. Each center is the location of one or
more major research laboratories. In addition, the Agency operates a number of
smaller research laboratories throughout the country.
The Agency's headquarters is m Washington, D.C. It is the nerve center of EPA and
exercises management control over the regional offices, research laboratories, and
other field components of the Agency.
A directory of EPA installations including the addresses and telephone numbers of
the personnel offices that service these installations is included in Section H.
B. TYPES OF VACANCIES
Generally, there is a continuing need for engineers, physical scientists, life scientists,
medical officers, biological technicians, physical science technicians, engineering
technicians, and environmental protection specialists. There is a more limited need for
administrative specialists, social scientists, financial specialists, supply specialists, and
attorneys. There is almost always an urgent need for typists and stenographers
in Washington, D.C., and for medical officers in Cincinnati, Ohio and Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina.
1
-------
The numbers and types of vacancies are difficult to predict because of the changes
in program direction that occur from time-to-time. However, there is a continual
turnover of personnel due to resignation, retirement, transfer, or other reasons.
Therefore, although there is usually some vacancies available at all times, this varies
from installation to installation. Consequently, applicants are advised to keep in
contact with the Personnel Office which services the installation at which employment
is desired. (The telephone number of each Personnel Office is listed in Section H).
C. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. QUALIFICATIONS. Specific qualifications vary with the many occupational
areas. Generally, there are positive educational requirements for all professional
positions. Specific educational and qualifications requirements are described in the
Civil Service Commission Announcement which describes the occupations for which
employment is sought. The principal announcements used for EPA positions are listed
in Section G. Copies are available from the nearest Federal Job Information Center
(See next paragraph.)
2. FEDERAL JOB INFORMATION CENTERS. - The Civil Service Commission
offers Federal employment information through a network of Federal job information
centers. Copies of announcements, application forms, and other information may be
obtained from the nearest center. They are listed under "U.S. Government" in local
telephone directories.
3. CITIZENSHIP. Employment in EPA is restricted by law to citizens except in
those cases where citizens are not available. (See CSC brochure BRE-27 available from
the nearest Job Information Center.)
4. COMPETITIVE SERVICE. - Virtually all positions in EPA are in the
competitive service. The major exceptions are attorney positions. For all competitive
positions, applicants must have competitive civil service status or be appointed from a
civil service register. (This is described in Section F.) For a useful guide to Federal
employment, obtain a copy of the pamphlet, "Working for the USA," from the
nearest Federal Job Information Center (See Section C.2.).
5. SUMMER EMPLOYMENT. - Application for summer employment should be
made very early in the year. Information on eligibility and application procedures for
summer employment is available from the nearest Federal Job Information Center.
(See Section C.2).
6. PART-TIME & TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT. - Part-time and temporary
positions exist at most EPA installations. However, opportunities for such
employment vary from installation to installation. Information may be obtained from
the nearest Federal Job Information Center (see Section C.2) or EPA personnel office
(see Section H).
7. DETAILED INFORMATION. Detailed information concerning vacancies,
salaries, conditions of employment, etc., should be referred to the nearest Federal Job
Information Center (see Section C.2) or EPA personnel office (see Section H).
8. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. - All qualified applicants will receive consideration
for employment without regard to sex, race, creed, color, age, or national origin as
prescribed by law.
-------
D. EPA PROGRAMS
1. WATER PROGRAM. - The current battle to stem the continuing deterioration
of the quality of our fresh water resources is being fought on many fronts.
Bacteria-laden human wastes, massive quantities of organic industrial wastes and toxic
pesticides are being swallowed by streams and rivers, fresh water lakes, and salty bays
and estuaries in increasing quantities.
Certain pollutants, such as the phosphates, provide an excess of nutrients which
disturb the ecological balance of our lakes and by stimulating plant growth, greatly
accelerate the otherwise slow, natural aging process. Lake Erie not dead but slowly
dying is an outstanding example of this "eutrophication" process.
Contamination of oui waters prevent the harvesting of fish and shellfish in many
areas. Thermal pollutants (commonly known as heated water) are dumped into our
rivers and oceans, adversely affecting the reproduction and growth cycles of the fish
population.
EPA offers environmentally oriented personnel diverse and stimulating careers in
the areas of water supply, waste treatment, pollution control, water planning and
standards, and construction management.
The best opportunities for employment in the water program are in the EPA
regional offices, and in the EPA research laboratories serviced by the EPA personnel
offices in Cincinatti, Ohio and Las Vegas, Nevada. (See Section H).
Job opportunities are best for sanitary, chemical, and environmental engineers,
chemists, and life scientists.
2. AIR PROGRAM. Each year over 200 million tons of manmade waste products
are released into the air of the United States. About half of this pollution is produced
as a result of the transportation system.
Air pollution contributes to the incidence of such chronic ailments as
emphysema, bronchitis, and asthmadiseases which have increased in recent decades.
EPA has established national ambient air quality standards specifying the
maximum levels to be permitted in the ambient air of the principal and most
widespread classes of air pollutants. States must carry out approved implementation
plans for limiting the amount of pollutants in accordance with these established
standards. EPA establishes and enforces performance standards (emission standards)
limiting emissions from new or modified stationary sources of pollutants, for new
motor vehicles, and for exceptionally hazardous pollutants.
The best opportunities for employment in the air program are in the EPA
regional offices, in the EPA research and air facilities serviced by the EPA personnel
office in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and in the EPA motor vehicle
emission control facility located in Ann Arbor, Mich. Occasionally, there are some
opportunities in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Job opportunities are best for environmental, chemical, mechanical, and sanitary
engineers.
-------
3. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT .PROGRAM- While accounting for only 7
percent of the world's population, Americans consume nearly half of the earth's
industrial raw materials. Not surprisingly, the way of life that requires such large
amounts of natural resources also produces enormous amounts of solid wastes. But
until recently, Americans were not greatly concerned with environmental problems
associated with the collection and disposal of trash, garbage, and other solid wastes.
Today, a new concept of solid waste management is evolving; it assumes that
man can devise a social-technological system that will wisely control the quantity and
characteristics of wastes, efficiently collect those that must be removed, creatively
recyle those that can be reused, and properly dispose of those that have no further use.
The best opportunities for employment in the solid waste management program
are in EPA-HQ, Washington, D.C.
Job opportunities are best for mechanical and environmental engineers.
4. PESTICIDES PROGRAM. - Use of chemicals to control pests has long been
practiced in the United States. Decades ago, insects causing harm to agricultural crops
were dusted with arsenical compounds of sulfurs, and insects that carried human
disease or were regarded as nuisances were fought with sprays of light oils and
pyrethrins.
The benefits, in terms of increased food production and the control of such
killing diseases as malaria and encephalitis all over the world, were real and apparent.
However, knowledge of the possible side effects of such chemicals entering the
environment came slowly.
It is now known that some of the more persistent compounds are present in the
tissues of birds, fish, and other wildlife and man as well. Perhaps no environmental
problem illustrates more clearly the complex interactions that occur throughout the
ecosystem. Caution must be exercised to insure that beneficial changes made by man
in one part of the system do not create damage in another part of the system.
Manufacturers must apply to EPA for registration of any insecticide, herbicide,
fungicide, or similar poison. EPA continuously reviews registered chemicals for
compliance with safety and efficiency requirements and establishes a "Safe tolerance"
amount that may be permitted on raw food crops.
The best opportunities for employment in the pesticides program are in
EPA-HQ, the EPA-regional offices, and the EPA research laboratories concerned with
health effects and environmental research. (See Section H).
Job opportunities are best for toxicologists, pharmacologists, and pesticides
specialists.
5. RADIATION PROGRAM - Throughout his history, man has been exposed to
cosmic and other naturally-occurring radiation. However, we are increasingly being
exposed to manmade, low level radiation sources including X-rays, radioactive
materials, and electronic devices.
Health effects which may result from exposure to relatively large doses of
ionizing radiation are well known leukemia and other types of cancer, reduction in
fertility, cataracts and other eye damage, acceleration of the aging process, and damage
-------
to reproductive cells. There is little understanding of the long-term effects from
repeated exposure to radiation at low levels.
The best opportunities for employment in the radiation program are in EPA-HQ,
in the EPA radiation facilities, the EPA health effects laboratories, and the EPA
laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada. (See Section H).
Job opportunities are best for nuclear engineers, health physicists, environmental
engineers, and environmental scientists.
6. NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM. - The Noise Control Act authorizes EPA to
establish Federal noise emission standards, conduct research, and take enfoicement
action to protect the public health.
The best opportunities for employment are in EPA-HQ and in the EPA research
laboratories concerned with health effects.
Job opportunities are best for environmental engineers, acoustical engineers, and
environmental protection specialists.
7- ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM. - EPA is a regulatory agency with
responsibilities for establishing and enforcing environmental standards, within the
limits of its various statutory authorities.
Establishment of standards is central to the whole pollution control effort, for
its is in this way that we define what each of us may and may not do to the
environment upon which we ail depend.
The standards set by EPA (in some cases, in cooperation with the States) have
the force of law. They define the kinds and levels of pollutants allowable in our air and
water, and establish timetables for achieving the prescribed quality. They also set
limits for radiation emissions and pesticide residues.
The Agency is authorized to initiate enforcement actions to protect the public
health.
The best opportunities for employment in the enforcement program are in the EPA
regional offices and in EPA-HQ. Limited employment opportunities exist at the
National Enforcement Investigation Center, Denver, Colo.
Job opportunities are best for environmental, chemical and sanitary engineers, and
environmental scientists.
8. TOXIC SUBSTANCES PROGRAM. - More than 9,000 organic chemicals are
now being manufactured. Several hundred metallic compounds are in commercial use.
Many of these substances present potential hazards to human health and the
environment.
The best opportunities for employment in the toxic substances program are in
EPA-HQ and the EPA research laboratories concerned with health effects. (See Section
H).
Job opportunities are best for chemical engineers, chemists, and toxicologists.
-------
9. PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. - Planning and management
encompasses program planning and evaluation; economic analysis; policy and
procedural planning and analysis; audit; resources management; and general
administration. Most planning and management positions are located in EPA-HQ and
in the EPA regions. However, each EPA research laboratory and field station has some
such positions, ranging from a clerk or two in the smallest stations, to substantial
administrative staffs in the EPA research centers in Cincinnati, Ohio; Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Corvallis, Oregon.
Employment opportunities for planning and management positions are extremely
limited. The best opportunities, though, are in EPA-HQ and in the EPA regional
offices. (See Section H).
Job opportunities are best for economists and operations research analysts.
10. STAFF PROGRAMS. - All EPA offices include a number of staff offices, with
the principal ones existing in EPA-HQ and in the EPA regional offices. These staff
offices include general counsel, public affairs, civil rights. Federal activities,
international activities, legislative affairs, and the like. Employment opportunities are
extremely limited.

f. HOW TO APPLY FOR A JOB
1. NEW APPLICANTS:
a. Those applicants who are not Federal employees occupying competitive
positions or who do not have reinstatement eligibility, must pass an appropriate
-------
examination, which may be written or unwritten, depending upon the nature of the
occupation. Most administrative occupations require that a written examination be
taken for entry level jobs, but virtually all professional occupations, such as engineer,
scientist, and medical officer, do NOT require a written examination. Also, most
higher level administrative positions do not require a written examination. All of this is
explained in the U.S. Civil Service Commission Announcement for the occupation in
question. The principal announcements for EPA jobs are listed in Section G. These are
available from the nearest Federal Job Information Center (See Section C.2). Each
announcement includes instructions on how to apply for a job. These should be read
and followed.
b. Once an applicant has qualified under a particular announcement, a Notice of
Rating or Letter of Acknowledgement should be returned to the applicant by the Civil
Service Commission. A copy of this and a Personal Qualifications Statement (Standard
Form 171) should be submitted directly to the EPA personnel office that services the
installation(s) where employment is sought. The Standard Form 171 should indicate
the locations where employment is desired, minimum salary acceptable, type of job
sought, etc. If there is a possibility of .employment, the applicant will be contacted
either by EPA or the Civil Service Commission.
2. APPLICANTS WITH STATUS
Federal employees who occupy competitive positions and former Federal
employees with reinstatment eligibility should submit a Personal Qualifications
Statement (Standard Form 171) directly to the EPA personnel office that services the
installation(s) where employment is sought.
3. APPLICANTS FOR ATTORNEY POSITIONS
a. Applicants for attorney positions should submit a Personal Qualifications
Statement (Standard Form 171) directly to the EPA personnel office that services the
installation(s) where employment is sought.
b. Attorney positions are not in the competitive service; therefore, application
to the Civil Service Commission is not required.
c. Applicants for attorney positions usually have the background and training
needed for other types of non-attorney positions included in the competitive service,
such as Environmental Protection Specialist. Applicants who are attorneys are invited
to apply for these jobs. (See F.1 above).
G. U.S. Civil Service Commission Examination Announcements
The following announcements describe the requirements and procedures for entry
into the Federal service. These are available from the nearest Federal Job Information
Center (see Section C.2).
1. Announcement No. 424 Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences and
