 PROCEEDINGS AND SUMMARY OF THE NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM REVIEW AND TECHNICAL
 WORKSHOP  (Chicago,  Illinois,  September 16-18,  1986)

 Introduction

      The National Program Review and Technical  Workshop was conducted to
 provide the EPA regional offices with the opportunity to give a status report
 on program accomplishments;  to allow for discussion of program problems and
 develop solutions; and to provide the Great Lakes  National Program Office with
 the opportunity to discuss its program and share technology transfer.   The
 workshop served as a milestone in the National  Estuary Program.  Attendees
 included representatives from  NOAA,  EPA regional offices and headquarters,
 citizen organizations  and EPA  support contractors.   Participants of the
 workshop generally agreed that the management structures implemented in each of
 the program areas are  working  and that coordination between all  levels of
 government  and  the regions has improved as a result of this process.

      The Great  Lakes National  Program Office presented a day of  information
 which was of great benefit to  the regional participants.   The presentations on
 the Great Lakes Water  Quality  Agreement,  Great  Lakes  Toxic  Control  Program,  and
 the Great Lakes Nonpoint  Source  Program were particularly beneficial.   The
 workshop also provided a  forum for all  participants  to openly discuss  the
 problems and issues in each of the estuarine programs.

 Day 1;   September 16,  1986

 Welcome:  Mr. Peter Wise,  Director, Great  Lakes  National Program Office and
 Acting  Deputy Assistant Regional  Administrator.

     Mr.  Wise opened the meeting  by summarizing recent  accomplishments  of the
Great Lakes  National Program and  giving an overall status report.  He  also  gave
background  information on  the  signing of the Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreements of 1972, 1978,  and  1983.  The importance of  the Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreements as the  driving force in the cleanup  efforts in the Great
Lakes was stressed; the agreements served as a catalyst  in developing the load
reduction programs.  Mr. Wise also discussed the efforts to  integrate Great

-------
 Lakes program activities with Region V Water Division and Superfund activities.
 Great Lakes National Program cleanup efforts are given priority in the regional
 office.
 I.  National Program Review:

      Mr.  Thomas DeMoss,  Director of the Technical Support Division in the
 Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection at EPA, introduced this  section.
 Mr.  DeMoss stressed the  importance of open interaction during the  meeting and
 then welcomed Ms.  Virginia Tippie of the NOAA Estuarine Programs Office.

 NOAA ESTUARINE RESPONSIBILITES

      Ms.  Tippie discussed  a  memorandum of agreement  (MOA)  between  the Technical
 Support Division of the  Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection  (OMEP)  in  EPA
 and  the Office of  Estuarine  Programs in NOAA.   She reported  that this MOA
 should be signed soon and  would allow for closer  coordination between NOAA
 activities  with regard to  estuarine environments  and EPA activities  in
 estuarine programs.  Ms. Tippie mentioned that  the geographic focus  in staff
 assignments in the  Office  of Estuarine Programs in NOAA was  similar  to that  in
 OMEP.  She  hoped that coordination between the  regional representatives at EPA
 and  the NOAA  estuarine regional coordinators would improve over the  next  seven
 months as  a result  of this effort.   Ms.  Tippie  also  outlined  the major
 responsibilities of NOAA in  estuarine  environments and  described the  major
 ongoing research and monitoring  programs.  Ms. Tippie turned  the program  over
 to Mr. DeMoss  to discuss development of workplans  and master  environmental
 plans.

WORKPLAN AND MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ESTUARIES

     Mr.  DeMoss explained that each estuarine program had the responsibility
for developing five-year water quality and resources management workplans.
These workplans are designed to ultimately develop master environmental
programs  to protect and/or restore the estuaries of particular concern.  The
importance of the five-year plan was highlighted in this discussion.   In
response  to questions Mr. DeMoss explained that this workplan is a working

-------
 document to provide the framework for regional research and monitoring efforts
 in support of the master plan development.

 REPORTS BY REGIONAL OFFICES ON CHARACTERIZATION EFFORTS

      Mr.  DeMoss introduced regional representatives of Buzzards Bay,
 Narragansett Bay,  Puget Sound, and Long Island Sound,  who gave status reports
 on the characterization efforts in each of  their regions.  Wendy Wiltse gave
 the presentation on Buzzards Bay,  outlining the problems in the estuary and
 giving a status report on when the program  was predicted to make
 recommendations on Buzzards Bay clean-up.   Katrina Kipp presented the status of
 characterization efforts in the Narragansett Bay area.   One of the major
 problems  outlined  by Ms. Kipp was  the lack  of comparable data  on the  estuary.
 Since Joe Brecher  could not attend the meeting,  Ms.  Kipp also  presented the
 status of the Long Island Sound study.   Mr.  John Armstrong,  Region X
 Coordinator,  gave  a presentation on the status of the  Puget Sound
 characterization efforts.

 II.   Characterization  and Data Management Support:

      The  introduction  to this  segment  of the  workshop was given  by Mr.  DeMoss
 with  assistance  from Mr.  Joe Hall,  both of  the OMEP.

 DATA  QUALITY AND ASSURANCE

      Data quality  and  assurance were stressed as  important  components  in
 developing the regional  programs.  Mr.  Hall outlined OMEP's Quality
 Assurance/Quality  Control  (QA/QC)  program.  The OMEP QA/QC program has  been
 well  received by both  the research community  and  the regional  offices.  An
 intensive effort has gone into  making the data collected under regional grants,
 contracts, and cooperative agreements meet EPA standards and be compatible.
 Compatibility will allow for national analysis at a later date.  Common
 techniques in analyzing  data are of utmost importance to the OMEP  office.
 Comparable techniques  in analyzing and collecting information will  allow for
historical analysis in the future.   In many estuaries,  data collection and
analysis techniques have varied widely over time, making it difficult to

-------
 analyze trends and track declines in estuarine systems.   Most workshop
 participants agreed that the use of different techniques was creating problems
 in analyzing historical information.

 REGIONAL PROGRAM EFFORTS TO FILL DATA NEEDS

      The Puget Sound protocol development that has been  conducted under
 contract with Tetra Tech was presented as one milestone  in resolving this
 issue.   All data now collected on Puget Sound, for instance,  will be comparable
 in the  future.   Long Island Sound was presented as an example of  data
 management  and support  which seem to  be working successfully in the  program.
 The dissolved oxygen analysis performed in Long Island Sound is an example  of
 how trend analysis  works.   The results discussed recent  data that indicate
 dissolved oxygen problems  in Long Island Sound have increased in  recent years.
 Mr.  Dan Farrow of NOAA  gave a presentation on the characterization of pollutant
 loadings  to Long Island Sound.   Results of this analysis showed that many
 pollutants  to the system were coming  from upstream portions  of the watershed
 rather  than from the areas  closer to  the basin,  although it was apparent that
 the  New York  City areas  were providing a tremendous  input  to  the  Long Island
 Sound system.

 III.  Water Quality  and  Habitat  Criteria Development:

     In recent years deteriorating water quality  conditions have  become  a
 primary concern  in estuarine  environments.  Both  EPA and NOAA have been
 conducting work  in this  area.  This section of  the meeting allowed for
 discussion on the topics.

     The Chesapeake Bay  Program Office  in Annapolis, Maryland, has been doing
extensive work on the development of living resource and habitat criteria for
the Chesapeake Bay.  The  focus of habitat criteria development in the Chesapeake
Bay area has been in laboratory studies to determine loss of habitat  in the
Bay.  Mr. Hank Zygmunt,  Deputy Director of the Chesapeake Bay Program, gave a
status report of Chesapeake Bay Program activities.

-------
 HABITAT SUITABILITY - STRIPED BASS

      Ms. Kim Devonald of OMEP presented a paper on striped bass work for Mr.
 Chuck Coutant of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  Ms. Devonald s
 presentation was on habitat suitability for striped bass in lake and estuarine
 environments and on developing management strategies based on habitat
 suitability.  Mr.  Coutant of the Oak Ridge Laboratory has been conducting
 extensive work on striped bass in lakes in the southwest.  He has found that
 striped bass have a tremendous affinity for a temperature regime of 20 to 22
 degrees Celsius.  The striped bass,  therefore, tend to congregate in areas
 where this temperature regime exists. In fact, in lakes suffering from anoxic
 conditions which overlap the 20 to 22 degree temperature regime, striped bass
 suffer stress; whereas in lakes that do not have overlapping anoxic and
 temperature problems present, the striped bass do not seem to suffer stress.
 Mr.  Coutant is now testing this habitat loss theory in Chesapeake Bay,
 especially around  the Chesapeake Bay Bridge where suitable conditions for
 striped bass once  existed and may no longer be available.   His  tentative
 conclusion is that major portions of the Bay are now suffering  from low
 dissolved oxygen and are no longer suitable for striped bass habitat.   The
 extent  of the problem in the  Chesapeake Bay has not yet been determined.   This
 work, combined with the  living resource and habitat criteria work in  the
 Chesapeake Bay,  should serve  to give managers  in the  area  a better  indication
 of the  interaction between  water quality and resource management  problems.   One
 possible  management action  could be  to  protect  those  areas  wher-j  more favorable
 temperature  regimes exist that do not suffer from low dissolved oxygen
 problems.

 INTEGRATING  WATER  QUALITY STANDARDS

     The  next  section of this  segment of  the program  was given by Mr. Ron
Manfredonia  of Region I.  Mr.  Manfredonia discussed the integration of  existing
water quality  standards  and objectives  throughout  the  estuarine programs.  The
 importance of  additional attention by the Office  of Research  and  Development
 (ORD) to  the needs  for water quality standards  in  estuarine  areas was
highlighted.  Representatives  from ORD  responded by acknowledging the need for
more work  in the marine and estuarine areas  and that there were several ways to

-------
 assure this would occur, including stronger participation in the ORD Research
 Committees.

 COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT - CHESAPEAKE BAY

      The next segment of the program was on the Chesapeake Bay Program's
 compliance assessment project.   This project was presented by Mr.  Hank Zygmunt
 from Region III.   Mr.  Zygmunt gave a status report on the compliance project
 which was developed in response to a recent Washington Post  article written by
 Ms.  Victoria Churchill.   The project is  designed to do a preliminary assessment
 of the compliance programs  in the regional office and to provide information to
 the  EPA administrator  on the status of the program in Region III.

 GB CRITICAL AREAS PROGRAM

      The  guest dinner  speaker was Mr. Kevin Sullivan,  who gave  a presentation
 on the Chesapeake Bay  Critical  Area Program.  This  program is significant
 because it  is specifically  designed to regulate  growth and protect  resources
 and  habitats in the  estuarine environment.   Mr.  Sullivan discussed  the
 applicability of  the Chesapeake Bay Critical Areas  Program to other areas of
 the  country.

 Day  2;  September  17,  1986

      Introduction:   The  second day of the  workshop was  dedicated to the Great
 Lakes  National Program Office.   The Great Lakes National  Program staff provided
 summary briefings on current  Great  Lakes Program activities and some technical
 background on the future direction  of the program.  The  introduction was given
 by Mr. Wise, Director of the  Great  Lakes National Program Office.   The Great
 Lakes  National Program's experiences will be helpful in developing  the programs
 in other regions of the country.  The information gained from the briefings  by
 the Great Lakes National Program staff was beneficial, especially in regard  to
 the presentations on toxics,  the importance of the Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreement, the nonpoint source control programs, and program integration
activities.

-------
 TOXICITY MANAGEMENT

      The additive  approach for toxic  substances  was  discussed by Mr.  Larry
 Fink.   His  presentation was enlightening,  especially in regard to the risk
 assessment  information  developed  by the  estuarine  Great Lakes National Program
 on  consumption  of  fish  in  the  Great Lakes  area.  For most  fish in the Great
 Lakes  areas,  it is  recommended that no more  than one fish  per week is
 consumed.   However, the risk of getting  cancer from  eating Great Lakes fish
 dramatically  increases  as  the  consumption  of  fish  increases.   Several members
 of  the audience commented  that these  statements  were possibly politically
 unacceptable.   Mr.  Fink indicated that approximately 40% of all  Americans
 contract cancer, and although  cancer  incidence may not  be  caused by eating
 Great  Lakes fish, the risk of  getting cancer  from  these fish  does  increase.
                                                            *
 GREAT  LAKES WATER QUALITY  AGREEMENT

     The discussions on the Great Lakes  Water Quality Agreement  were  also
 informative to  the  estuarine program  staff.   The importance of the Great Lakes
 Agreement is well documented in the area.  The agreement provided  a working
 document by which both  Canada  and the U.S. could agree  to  deal with the toxic
 contamination of the lakes  and to  establish nutrient  load  reductions  to the
 system.  The level  of contaminants  such  as organic nutrients  and toxics has
 been reduced by a large percentage  in the Great  Lakes system  over  the  past ten
 years.   Load reduction may  not  lead to improved  water quality  in some  areas,
 because  high levels of contamination have already occurred.  However,  there is
 no notable  improvement  in water quality  throughout the  Great Lakes  region.

NFS CONTROL PROGRAMS

     The nonpoint source program presentations were also very  informative  since
many of the problems of other estuarine  areas around the country are
predominately of a nonpoint  source nature.  Demonstration programs which have
been put in place in the Great Lakes are nationally recognized as  "success
stories."

-------
 REGIONAL PROGRAM INTEGRATION

      The program integration presentations were useful to the national
 audience.   The integration of Great Lakes National Program activities  and
 priorities is perhaps  the most important component leading to the  success of
 the Great Lakes National Program.   The permit  enforcement and compliance
 programs are all integrated with the Great Lakes National Program.   These
 permit  and enforcement programs receive priority attention in the  Great  Lakes
 because of the importance of the lakes in supplying drinking  water  to  a  large
 proportion of the population in the Great Lakes region.   The  Great  Lakes
 Agreement  and program  integration  activities have allowed the Great Lakes to
 receive priority attention and made cleanup activities possible.   Summaries  of
 the appropriate presentations can  be found in  the appendices  of this document.
Day  3;  September  18,  1986
     The third day of  the workshop began with two presentations by Ms. Devonald
of OMEP.  The first presentation was a report on a  recent shellfish workshop
conducted by OMEP  and  the second was on the Finfish Workshop also conducted by
OMEP.  Ms. Devonald reviewed the findings and recommendations of the
workshops.  The underlying theme of the recommendations was that better
information on levels  of contamination in fish and  shellfish is needed and that
it is necessary to resolve the differences between  the criteria recommended by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and those recommended by the U.S. EPA.

     The next presentation was given by Mr. Joe Hall of OMEP on the QA/QC
program and the Puget Sound protocols.   (The Puget Sound protocol development
which supports the OMEP program was given earlier by Mr. Armstrong of Region
X.)  The Puget Sound Program was recommended as a possible guide to other
programs in designing the QA/QC program for particular estuaries.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

     The next component of the three-day workshop was on public participation
and reiterated approaches to involve the public.   The first presentation was
given by Catherine Krueger of the Puget Sound Program.   Ms.  Krueger outlined

-------
 current  public  involvement efforts  in the Puget  Sound estuary and reviewed the
 coordination activities  between the regional  office and Puget Sound  Water
 Quality  Authority.   Mr.  Mark Alderson from OMEP  presented Chesapeake Bay
 Foundation (CBF)  efforts.   Mr.  Alderson reviewed the ongoing  education  programs
 at  CBF,  the Land  Conservancy Program,  and the relatively new  CBF  legal
 initiatives.  The CBF  attorneys,  in cooperation  with the National Resource
 Defense  Council (NRDC),  have successfully sued two  corporations in the
 Chesapeake Bay  area.   The  successful law suits resulted in a  $1.3 million
 dollar penalty  against Gwaltney and will result  in  substantial penalties
 against  Bethlehem Steel.   The judge in the Bethlehem Steel case has  ruled  in
 favor of the Foundation  and NRDC, but no fines have been cited yet.   The next
 presentation was  given by  Ms. Trudy Cox of the Narragansett Bay Foundation.
 Ms.  Cox  gave an informative presentation on efforts in Narragansett  Bay.   Mr.
 DeMoss of OMEP  gave  an overview on  the importance of building coalitions and
 constituencies  in the  estuarine program.   The need  for building coalitions was
 exemplified by  the success of public participation  efforts in the Narrangasett
 Bay, Puget Sound, and"  Chesapeake  Bay regions.  Mr.  DeMoss stressed the
 importance of public involvement, the development of management structure  to
 deal with the issues,  and  the development  of  master plans to  address  the
 issues.

 NEAR COASTAL  WATERS

     Ms.   Ginger Webster of  OMEP summarized  the status  of  the  Near  Coastal
 Waters Strategic  Initiative and outlined the  options  that were sent to the EPA
 administrator.  The initiative was well  received  by the  participants.

 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS

     The  last presentation  was given by Mr. Bob Biggs  from the University  of
 Delaware  on the "scorecard"  of relative conditions  in  estuaries.   Mr. Biggs
 work relates  populations of  given estuaries to the  current  condition of the
 estuarine  system.  This work  is based on the assumption that sewage treatment
 plants in  any given estuary  are coming close  to meeting  their effluent limits
 and that   their level of treatment is no more of a 10X portion difference.
Mr.  Biggs  also incorporated  flushing characteristics of estuaries  into his

-------
model.  Therefore, the model incorporates both flushing characteristics and
total population and compares them to the relative knowledge of the given
estuary.  It is interesting to note that his analysis pointed out that there
are several estuaries around the country that are not being studied and of
which little is known regarding water quality parameters such as low dissolved
oxygen concentrations.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 pm, Thursday, September 18,  1986.
