ASCMS—A System That Really Works
AICMS stands for the Administrative
Support Career Management System,
which the 1 luiTun Resources Council
Lnmched some months ago for K.P \ employees in
.ulimnistrative support positions.
'Hie \SC.\1S includes a comprehensive plan and a
step-by-step guide tor both support stalt and their
supervisors so that thcv can work together to:
\ssess current support staff competencies and
current and future training needs,
/ Restructure support staff jobs into meaningful
career paths; and
/ Knhance the Agency's abilitv to attract, develop,
and retain the highest quality staff.
DepuH Administrator Hank Habieht has
formally established the \SC.\1S as KP \ policy and
encourages managers, human resources officers, and
administrative support staff to implement it in their
organisations (in fact, Cincinnati, RTF, Region 3,
and Region 8 have already clone so and are
enthusiastic about the new system). Kach organisa-
tion is also expected to tram its managers anil support
staff on ho\\ to use the ASCMS over the next \ear.
Some of the helpful materials that the \SC.\1S
contains are:

"Design for the Environment"—
A Driving Force in Pollution Prevention
by Mark Greenwood, OPPT Director, OPPTS
What is "Design for the Environment"?
It's a prevention ethic that is realK
picking up speed here ami abroad—
particular!} in Japan and in the I'urupean
Coiniminitv—and it represents the next \\a\e <>t
industry pollution pre\ention programs here in the
L nitcd States. More and more, industn is focusing
on preventing pollution through product design
rather than continuum 10 dispose of or treat millions
ot pounds of \\.iste and emissions even, \ear.
The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
has launched a number of initiatives to stimulate
industn to shift toward designing and using chemical
substances and processes that are cm ironmentallv
sound, such as:
/ Chemical Design Project—the purpose of this
project is to iiiimmi/,e or eliminate use or
production of toxic chemical substances in the
manufacture of chemical compounds. I hese
substances are used as feedstocks, catalysts, and
solvents in manutacturinu chemicals. Quite
frequently they are also the In products ot
manufacturing processes.
/ Printing Project and Dry Cleaning Project—
these projects involve small businesses that are
generally unaware of the pollution they generate.
\ major effort is underway to develop information
on chemicals, processes, and technologies for these
businesses to use in making informed choices
about establishing safer operations.
/ National Pollution Prevention Center—the
University of .Michigan is the site of this initiative
to develop model curricula for engineering, natural
resources, anil bjsiness schools. The ultimate aim
is to educate those \vho \\ ill chart the course of
business decisions about the prevention ethic.
\Ve are also enthusiastic about \\orking with the
Department of Energy and the computer industry
to apply DfF principles in environmental research.
As we make progress with our DfF projects, we will
keep you postetl through l\P. I I/iSigl't and other forums.

SUPREME COURT RULES ON
INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF WASTES
The U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down
two state statutes for violating the Commerce Clause
of the U.S. Constitution. This clause prohibits states
from discriminating against articles—including
wastes—invoked in interstate commerce.
In Clwmuil ll'/Dtc MtiJMgmieiit, Inc. r. Hunt, the
Court invalidated an Alabama statute which imposed a
higher tax on the disposal of wastes generated out-of-
state than on wastes generated in-state. In I'urt (ir/itiot
Sanitary, Inc. i: Muhigan Depmtimnt of Natural
Resources, the Supreme Court struck clown a Michigan
law which prohibited the disposal of wastes generated
out-of-county unless they were explicitly author-
ized by the receiving county's solid waste plan.
I' P \ filed a "friend of the court" brief in the Alabama
case. While the Agency is sympathetic to the interests of
local governments in managing wastes, KPA generally
opposes restrictions on the interstate transportation of
wastes because such restrictions could lead to increased
illegal dumping and unnecessary siting.
For more information, please contact Angelia
Souder Blackwell, OGC, 202-260-6V52.
EPA WINS CASE INVOLVING
FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACT
KPA recently received a favorable ruling from the
U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia
concerning the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
In Natniitl Remiim'S Defense Council ~c. i'.nvrrmr/nenttil
Protcctioi/. l«//o', [udge Joyce I lens Creen denied the
NRDC motion tor a preliminary injunction against a
planned meeting of the Governors' forum on
Environmental Management.
The Governors' Forum was established by
Administrator Bill Reilly earlier this year to foster
better coordination between KPA and the states in
carrying out shared environmental programs.
NRDC's position was that the Forum was an
"advisor\- committee" and thus subject to FACA's
requirement that meetings be open to the public.
The Court disagreed and said that the Governors
"should not be viewed as merely advisors to
KPA...[but as individuals who also] act operationally
as independent chief executives in partnership with
the federal agency "

Wa&te Not... Want Not
Recycling is Picking
But So Is Municipal
Up-
Solid Waste
by Sylvia Lowtance, OSWDirectoi, OSWER
W_-'rc glad to report that reading has
increased substantial!) nationwide. In
1990, \mericansgenerated 195 million
tons ot municipal solid waste. Ot this total, >3 million
tons were recovered tor recycling or composting. 1 hat
amounts to a 17 percent recycling rate, compared to
13 percent in 19X8. 1 his news comes In>m a recent
report on municipal solid \\aste generation, disposal,
combustion, and recovery, \\hich was released in
\ugust In F.P \\ Office of Solid \\'aste.
Ijctwecn 19H5and 1990, the amount of material
recovered from municipal solid waste more than
doubled. '1'he amount of yard debris that was
collected for municipal composting increased
dramatical!} during the 1988-1990 period, rising
from 2 percent to 12 percent. If current trends
continue, recovers ol materials lor recycling and
composting is expected to rise from the current 17
percent to ahout 20-M) percent in 1995 (FP Vs goal is
to reduce and recycle 25 percent of municipal solid
waste In the end of 1992) and then up to ahout 25-35
percent In the end ol the century.
In 1988, \mencans produced ahout 4 pounds per
person per day (ppd) of garbage. In 1990, the rate
increased to 4.3 ppd, an 8 percent increase since
1988. KPA projects that the amount of garbage
generated in the United States \\ill increase to about
4.5 ppd In the year 2000.
The new data also show that 16 percent of uarbage
was managed In combustion in 1990, up from 14
percent in 1988, and that the remaining 67 percent
was landfilled, down from 7 i percent in 198H.
The report's executive summan, (FP \/5 i()-F.-019)
and related fact sheets are available to F.P \ employees
from the R( ]R \ Information (Center (lor address and
phone numbers, please see "Fin ironmental lips" on

Environmental Tips of the Month
Each consumer can help reduce \menca\ mounting waste
problem 1>\ making environmentally -aware decisions
both at home and at work. Source reduction—reducing the
amount or toxiciu of waste generated in the first place—is the
preferred solution to the waste problem. 1 lere are some
common-sense tips from I be (jici'\' ILuidbook for Reducing
Sulid II c/.f/i', a new booklet Irom the Office of Solid Waste.
^ ( Containers and packaging amounted to about a third ot the
municipal solid waste produced in 1990. So consider
Inning products, such as laundn detergent and juices, in
concentrated form. Thc\ often require less packaging and
less energy to transport, sa\ing monev as well as natural
resources.
^ Reducing the amount ot toxic substances in waste is
another important component ot source reduction. One
\\ay to do this is to choose household batteries with
reduced mercury content (when possible, use-
rechargeable batteries).
One ot the most effecti\e means ot source reduction is
usint; products without ha/ardous ingredients. For instance,
instead ot using flea and tick products, put brewer's yeast
or garlic in vour pet's food. \lso sprinkle fennel, rue,
roseman, or eucalvptus seeds or leaves around animal
sleeping areas.
%/ \t work, see if "recharged" cartridges tor laser printers,
copiers, and tax machines are available. I hev not onlv
reduce waste, but also typicallv save monev.
