^4w Interview With Carol Browner
Working Together: A Key To EPA Success
Daes this face look familiar? You
may have seenher buying soup
at the Jamaican bakery or
walking through Waterside Mall
meeting EPA employees. Or on C-Span
last month when she appeared before
the Senate Committee on Environment
and Public Works for her confirmation
hearing. She is Carol Martha Browner,
EPA's new Administrator.
"I don't want to meet just division
directors and office directors. I want to
meet everyone." This was the
Administrator's response when asked
about her get-acquainted "tours" of the Headquarters
facilities. She said she considered doing what Secretary of
the Interior Bruce Babbitt was doing to meet employees:
greet them at the entrance of the agency's building. "But
we have 17 entrances here," said Ms. Browner, "so I
decided to do a little management-by-walking-around."
Employee reaction to the Administrator's visits has
been very positive. Some expressed surprise with her
friendliness and down-to-earth personality. Why the
surprise? Many employees said they had never met an
EPA administrator before and so did not expect to meet
Ms. Browner. Others contrasted their experience with a
recent quote in The Washington Post from a Florida
businessman about Ms. Browner's style: "She kicks the

door open, throws in a hand grenade,
and then walks in to shoot who's left."
When asked for her reaction to this
comment, the Administrator responded:
"I've been waiting for someone to ask
me about that quote! Would youbelieve
I've never been in a meeting with that
man?" She added that she had no idea
why the individual made this remark,
but believes that anyone who has worked
with her would not agree with him.
When asked about her priorities for
the Agency, Ms. Browner mentioned
two: integrity and pollution prevention.
She wants EPA to be respected for the integrity of its
regulatory decision-making process. "Consistency and
timeliness can only be achieved when we work together
and with integrity," she said. The Administrator also said
EPA needs to perform its functions "within the framework
of pollution prevention." By her definition, such a
framework includes two important components:
• Short- and long-term cost assessments of the impact of
Agency regulations on the regulated community, and
• Cooperative working relationships within and outside
the Agency.
Ms. Browner said she doesn't feel she has been a victim
of a "glass ceiling" during her career. "But," she added
quickly, "I strongly believe that one exists—for women as
well as for minorities." She said she has seen the effects of
a "glass ceiling" in other organizations, so she plans to give
this matter "serious attention" as EPA Administrator, Ms.
Browner noted that she had several mentors during her
career who were genuinely interested in helping her
advance: Vice President Al Gore; Florida Governor
Lawton Chiles; and former Florida Governor LeRoy
Collins, whom she described as "courageous" for having
integrated the state's public school system in the early
1960s.
Administrator Browner usually begins her day with an
early-morning jog. "If I waited until after work to do my
exercise, I'd never get it done," she said. She also keeps fit
by riding her bike and caring for her family of two: a five-

A QUICK LOOK AT EPA NEWS AROUND THE NATION
EPA LABORATORIES
• Atmospheric Research and Exposure Assessment
Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, NC 0 Region 2 and the
Office of Research and Development recently asked AREAL
to conduct an acid aerosol exposure study in Catano, Puerto
Rico. Residents of Catano have complained of serious
respiratory problems, including pediatric asthma. As a first
step, AREAL will investigate sulfuric acid exposures from a
local power plant. (Contact: Bob Burton, 919-541-3077.)
• Environmental Research Laboratory, Corvallis,
OR 0 EPA's Wetlands Research Program and Portland State
University recently formed a science/education partnership.
This summer, field teams of ERL-C scientists and local
teachers will gather data from 150 wetlands in the Portland
area to compare restored and natural wetlands in similar
settings. Through this effort, teachers can learn valuable
research skills that they can share with their students. The
resultsof the research areexpected to help resource managers
to better restore damaged sites and to create new wetlands
similar to natural wetlands. (Contact: Nancy Terhaar, 503-
754-4601.)
• Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory,
Cincinnati, OH 0 UnderSafeDrinkingWater Actregulations,
states were to begin monitoring last month for asbestos and
TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin) in drinking water.
Because of the specialized nature of this work and the cost of
the required equipment, EMSL-Cinci estimates that fewer
than 200 laboratories nationwide presently conduct these
analyses. In fact, many states have no laboratories with this
capability. EMSL-Cinci conducts training for regional and
state personnel who certify laboratories for this purpose.
(Contact: Jack Pfaff, 513-569-7397.)
• Environmental Research Laboratory, Ada, OK 0 ERL-
Ada is working with the University of Miami to develop a
risk-management strategy for wellhead protection. Once
contaminan t concentrations in pu mped water are es ti mated,
ERL-Ada scientists can define maximum allowable
contaminant levels at the wellhead. The risk of exceeding
these levels for land use controls can then be calculated.
(Contact: Dr. Dave Burden, 405-436-8606.)
EPA REGIONS
• Region 5 0 For its work on a cooperative demonstration
project to clean up leaking underground storage tanks, BP
Oil Co. Cleveland recently received an award from Region
5. The project resulted in a new technology called airsparging,
which can reduce cleanup time of storage tanks from two
years to eight months. Gerald Phillips, who heads up the
Underground Storage Tanks Office, says that in Region 5
alone storage tanks release almost 280,000 gallons of
petroleum into the environment every day. (Contact: John
Rapsys, 312-886-6693.)
• Region 6 0 The U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, ordered Roger L.
Tannery to pay EPA over $13 million, the largest penalty
ever awarded for non-compliance under CERCLA (the
Comprehensive, Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act, or Superfund). The suit was filed to
recover EPA's cleanup costs for a removal action at the
American Thio-Chem site in Fort Worth and the civil penalty
for Tannery's failure to respond to a Request for Information
issued under section 104(e) of CERCLA. The civil penalty
represents the maximum penalty of $25,000 per day for the
499 days of Tannery's non-compliance. (Contact Roger
Meacham, 214-655-2200.)
• Region 8 0 Top official? of EPA Region 8 and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Region 6 recently signed a first-of-its-
kind Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU calls for
improved coordination between the two agencies on natural
resource protection and restoration issues, such as threatened
and endangered species protection andpesticidecompliance
with federal requirements. EPA and FWS will meet at least
annually todevelop and review workplans. The two agencies
have also agreed to provide technical assistance in emergency
responses and field sampling activities. (Contact: Bill
Wuerthele, 303-293-1586.)

History Month At EPA
EPA Signs Agreements With Two Black Universities
Or Jenifer
01 December 15, EPA signed
a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with
Dr. Franklyn G. Jenifer, President
of Howard University in
Washington, DC.
The MOU is
intended to spur
improvements in
the following areas:
• The quality of
science and techni-
cal education at
Howard
• The relevance of
Howard's research projects to
EPA's environmental mission
• The problem of under-equipped
university research facilities
• The number of African-American
and other minority students
electing graduate study arid
research careers in science, engi-
neering, finance, and mathemat-
ics. The MOU will be managed by
"Campus Executive" Doug
Campt, Office of Pesticide Pro-
grams, OPPTS.
On December 17, EPA signed an
MOU with Chancellor Edward B.
Fort of another well-known HBCU
(Historically Black College or Uni-
versity), North Carolina Agricul-
tural and Technical (A&T) State
University in
Greensboro,
NC. As with
the MOU with
Howard, this
event was
sponsored by
EPA's Aca-
Dr Fort demic Rela-
tions Program, which is designed to:
• Formalize and strengthen rela-
tionships with colleges and uni-
versities
• Enhance the education and train-
ing of students
• Attract the "best and brightest"
faculty and graduates who repre-
sent the cultural diversity of our
nation.
Bruce Jordan, Office of Air Qual-
ity Planning and Standards, OAR
(Research Triangle Park, NC), is the
"Campus Executive." Sheila
Milliken, also with OAQPS, is the
Program Director and an alumna of
North Carolina A&T State Univer-
sity.

The History Of Block History Month
In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D. and historian,
started "Negro History Week" in Washington, DC. Often
called the "Father of Black History" in America, Dr. Woodson
was very aware of the power of symbolism in the American
psyche. So he chose to celebrate this event during the week in
February when the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and
Frederick Douglass occurred (February 12 and 20, respectively).
Douglass was a well-known black leader, journalist, and
statesman, as well as Lincoln's contemporary. This local event
caught on over the years until it became a nationwide observation.
In 1976, as part of the American Bicentennial celebration, "Negro
History Week" was expanded and renamed "Black History
Month."
EPA is celebrating Black History Month throughout the Agency
with a series of programs and activities. For more information
about these events, please contact your local Black Employment
Program Manager.
Environmental Quote Of The Month
The environmental movement has passed from the
Messianic phase to a more mature phase. It's harder
to tell the good guys from the bad guys. When
Martin Luther King, Jr., sat down at that diner in
Tuscaloosa, the issue was as clear as the sky over Arizona.
Now civil rights issues include affirmative action, quotas,
and so on. They're much more complicated. The same is
true of environmental questions."
—David Sive, quoted in
Peter Borelli, ed., Crossroads, 1988

That Wae The Week...
In the final days of the Bush Administration, EPA made over 30 announcements on controversial
issues, including the proposed phaseout of methyl bromide and the proposed use of reformulated
fuel. As EPA InSight went to press, all of the issues mentioned in this feature are proceeding as planned.
EPA Says Secondhand Smoke Is Class A Carcinogen
On January 7, former EPA
Administrator Bill
Reilly announced the
final conclusions of EPA's
study of the respiratory health
effects of passive smoking. The
study concluded that Environ-
mental Tobacco Smoke (ETS),
also known as secondhand
smoke, is a human lung car-
cinogen responsible for about
3,000 lung cancer deaths annu-
ally among U.S. non-smokers.
The study also concluded that
passive smoking results in
serious respiratory problems
for infants and young children.
Tobacco smoke has long been
recognized as a major cause of death
and disease, especially lung cancer
and chronic respiratory disease in
smokers. In recent years, there has
been concern that non-smokers may
j
also be at increased risk as a result of
their exposure to the smoke exhaled
by smokers and given off by the
burning end of cigarettes, pipes, and
cigars. This smoke contains more
than 4,000 substances,at least 43 of
which cause cancer in humans or
animals.
Following a second review of the
study last year, EPA's Science
Advisory Board fully endorsed the
risk assessment, including the con-
clusion that ETS should be classified
as a known human carcinogen—
officially called an EPA Class A
carcinogen, the Agency's category of
greatest scientific certainty for
known or suspected carcinogens.
EPA has no authority to regulate
smoking (the authority rests with
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, Department of
Labor) and its report is not binding
on any government agency or pri-
vate organization. In cooperation
with OSHA and other agencies,
however, EPA plans to carry out an
education and outreach program
over the next two years to inform the
public about the health risks of ETS
and other indoor air pollutants.
EPA's Office of Health and Envi-
ronmental Assessment, ORD, pre-
pared the 530-page report, with
major support from the Indoor Air
Division, OAR. The report was
prepared under authority of Title IV
of Superfund (the Radon Gas and
Indoor Air Quality Research Act of
1986), which directs EPA to conduct
a research and information dissemi-
nation program on all aspects of
indoor air quality.
Copies of the final report, "Respi-
ratory Health Effects of Passive
Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other
Disorders" (EPA/600/6-90/006F)
are available by calling EPA's Center
for Environmental Research Infor-
mation, 513-569-7562, or EPA's
Indoor Air Quality Information
Clearinghouse, 1 -800-438-4318.
HolonsAnd Methyl Bromide Affected
EPA Speeds Up Phaseout Of Ozone Depleters
EPA announced on January 19 a
proposal to fully phase out
the domestic production and
imports of the following by January
1,1996: CFCs, carbon tetrachloride,
methyl chloroform, and HBFCs
(hydrobromofluorocarbons).
Halons, the most severe ozone
depleters (used mainly as a fire
extinguisher), would be phased out
two years earlier.
Along with HBFCs, the proposal
adds a new substance to the phase-
out list, methyl bromide (January 1,
2000). Methyl bromide is a widely
used soil fumigant and agricultural
chemical. EPA and the Department
of Agriculture, along with users of
the pesticide, are working together
to develop environmentally sound
and economically feasible alterna-
tives.
The Clean Air Act Amendments
of 1990 required these phaseouts,
but originally set more lenient
phaseout deadlines. Because of the
unanticipated increases in the rate of
stratospheric ozone depletion, EPA
is taking advantage of the CAA
provision to accelerate the deadlines.
The phaseouts under the EPA pro-
posal would also meet the United
States' obligations under the
Montreal Protocol, an international
agreement limiting ozone-depleting
substances. To date, 93 countries
have agreed to the protocol.
For technical information on the
phaseout proposal, please contact
Peter Voigt, OAR, 202-233-9185.

...That Was
Agency Makes Interim Decision
EPA Returns To 1987 Wetlands Manual
Exactly one week before the
Bush Administration ended,
EPA announced it would
temporarily begin using the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual" (Waterways
Experiment Station Technical Report
Y-87-1, January, 1987) to make wet-
lands determinations under the
Clean Water Act (CWA) section 404
regulatory program. Meanwhile, the
Agency is contracting with the
National Academy of Sciences to
prepare a scientific analysis of wet-
lands delineation. The analysis will
also include an evaluation of the
existing wetlands delineation
manuals.
Under section 404, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers delineates
wetlands as part of the evaluation
process for permit applications to fill
wetlands. EPA has general authority
under the CWA for establishing the
scope of geographic jurisdiction for
all CWA programs, including sec-
tion 404, and conducts wetlands
delineations in conjunction with
EPA wetlands enforcement actions.
The Department of Agriculture's
Soil Conservation Service and the
Department of Interior's Fish and
Wildlife Service are also responsible
for identifying wetlands.
Before 1989, EPA and the Corps
had separate procedures for identi-
fying and delineating wetlands. In
January 1989, the four agencies
adopted a single shared manual, the
"1989 Federal Manual for Identify-
ing and Delineating Jurisdictional
Wetlands." Nationwide mandatory
use of this manual led to an increase
in the amount of area classified as
wetlands. In August 1991, the Corps
resumed using the 1987 manual in
response to the Energy
and Water Develop-
ment Appropriations
Act for Fiscal Year
1992, which prohib-
ited the Corps from
using the 1989
manual. Until the
January 13,1993 an-
nouncement, EPA
continued to use the
1989 manual in mak-
ing its Jurisdictional
determinations, prima-
rily for enforcing
section 404 against
unauthorized discharges into wet-
lands.
Each of the four agencies has a
definition of wetlands for its
wetlands program. Although the
methods used for wetlands
delineation have varied, EPA's
definition of wetlands is identical to
the Corps' definition. Both are
similar to the wetlands definitions
of the SCS and the FWS. All of the
definitions include three basic
elements: hydrology (water
characteristics); vegetation types;
and soil characteristics.
EPA Proposes Reformulated Fuel Rule
On January 19, EPA issued a supplemental notice to a
previous proposed rulemaking to require the use of
reformulated gasoline in nine areas of the country with
the worst ozone pollution. The program, required under
the 1990 Clean Air Act, is scheduled to begin January 1,
1995, in Baltimore, MD; Chicago, IL; Hartford, CT;
Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; Milwaukee, WI; New
York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and San Diego, CA.
When fully implemented, the rule is expected to reduce
volatile organic chemical (VOC) emissions up to 37 percent;
nitrogen oxide emissions up to 15 percent; and toxic
emissions up to 25 percent. The rule also proposes to
enhance the use of ethanol in reformulated gasoline.

Regulation Development and Support Division (Ann Arbor,
MI), Office of Mobile Sources, OAR, 313-668-4339.

year old son, Zachary, now in kindergarten, and husband
Michael Podhozer.
The Senate unanimously confirmed Ms. Browner's
appointment on January 21, and she was sworn into office
by President Bill Clinton the next day. A week later, EPA
InSight interviewed the new Administrator. "Whenlheard
EPA had an employee newsletter, I was delighted," she
said. "We didn't have one when I first became Secretary of
Environmental Regulation in Florida. But we did by the
time I left." She emphasized that employee
communications has always been important to her and
does not plan to delegate it to her deputy. Ms. Browner
added that she is eager to meet regional and laboratory
employees "in the very near future" and to discuss their
interests and concerns.
"In the meantime, I hope EPA employees will introduce
themselves to me," said the new Administrator. "I don't
care if I'm in the elevator or buying lunch, I want to meet
them!"
Excerpts from Conference Hearing
I am deeply honored to be here today to be
considered for the position of Administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency.-..
I am proud to have my family here with me today...I grew
up in South Florida, in a house from which I could bicycle into
the wilderness of the Everglades, and I want my son Zachary
to be able to., .enjoy the natural wonders of the United States the
same way I have....
I welcome this opportunity to begin a dialogue that I hope
will set a new standard of cooperation and communication
between Congress and the EPA...I also hope my tenure will
mark a new era in communication between the EPA and
Editor's Note: EPA Administrator Carol Browner
recently issued two memoranda to all EPA employees:
• Excerpt from memo dated January 25: "Now that I've
been sworn in, I look forward to meeting you in the
coming weeks and months and benefitting from
your counsel. The environmental expertise, profes-
sionalism and dedication of the staff here are well
known to me personally and well respected
nationally."
• Excerpt from memo dated Januan/ 27: "As part of my
confirmation process, I agreed to recuse myself
from...any EPA matter which involves the State of
Florida asaspecificpartyrtnrfinwhichlwas personally
and substantially involved...For one year
from...January 21, 1993, any EPA matter which
specifically involves the State of Florida or any of its
political subdivisions.. .So long as my spouse, Michael
A. Podhozer, is an employee of Citizen Action, any
particular matter involving a specific party or parties
with respect to which Citizen Action makes a
communication or appearance before EPA."
EPA Administrator-Designate Carol Browner testifies
at her Senate confirmation hearing on January 11
America's business community, between environmentalists
and business people....
EPA must deliver quick, consistent decisions. We must
recognize the special problems of small businesses...the
particularconcernsof businesses and communities affected by
environmental problems (and) the value of state regulators.
EPA should promote, encourage and develop rewards for
businesses that develop pollution prevention and recycling
strategies....
As head of the Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation, 1 had the opportunity to put many of these strategies
into effect at the state level....
We must restore voluntary compliance with the nation's
environmental laws by making them fair and efficient, by
forcefully executing them, and by increasing public disclosure
of environmental practices....
1 believe we can best join the need for balancing growth and
the environment by unleashing American ingenuity and
creativity to revive our economy and create a new generation
of environmental technology—which...will make us more
competitive in a fast-growing international marketplace....
The EPA is staffed by thousands of dedicated, professional
employees, with whom I am looking forward to working. I
hope to support their efforts, and make a talented group of
men and women even more effective, by expanding the pool
of people working to protect the environment....

Happy Birthday,
EPA InSight
How To Get Into EPAs All-Employee Newsletter
EPA InSight has been around
now for a year. During that time,
many employees have asked how
they could get something published
in it. That's very gratifying and we
hope the interest continues. Here's
what works best:
• Keep the article short (about 300
words) and informative.
• Assume that employees don't
know what you do about the
subject of your article—and avoid
technical jargon.
• Put your information in context.
A good way to do this is to
explain how the subject came to
be, e.g., from authorizing
legislation to its current status.
Then, describe what lies ahead,
such as important deadlines or
anticipated reactions from
constituency groups. Also helpful
is trend information or statistical
comparisons.
• Write only when you have
something significant to write
about. For example, before
writing about a group initiative,
wait until the group has
accomplished something! Two
exceptions to this "rule" are:
when a group's membership is
open to all EPA employees, or
when a group wants to hear from
employees on a specific issue.
• Include an interesting picture,
chart, graph, logo, etc., with your
article. We also welcome calendar
items, quotes, cartoons, and
environmental "tips."
• Please don't use paper. Send
your material by Email, diskette,
or Voice Mail.
-By when?: Generally, the first
week of the month before InSigJit
