INTERDISCIPLINARY
I. OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
Many environmental problems can be approached directly through
specific media programs, but effective management sometimes requires
cutting across the usual media lines. Often the problem, skill, or tech-
nique involved is not readily assignable to a specific media, and an
interdisciplinary approach is required. This interdisciplinary approach
is consistent with the original concerns of the Agency. These concerns
included the neeid for .an integrated organization to regulate pollution in
all media and to assure that control measures applied to one media do not
adversely impact other media. EPA employs this intermedia approach in
several research and development programs where the problems, tools, and
results are multidisciplinary in nature and must be coalesced into an
integrated program. This concept is also applied to those areas of the
environmental impact statement program where the identification of cross-
cutting impacts is important. The supplementary assistance component of
the Consolidated Grants proposal is also classified under the Inter-
disciplinary media since it will involve a wide range of State and local
grant assistance programs.
Research and Development
In FY 1980,internal reallocations will shift quality assurance re-
search, monitoring techniques, standardization research, and technical
support to other media programs. Because many of these activities directly
support specific program needs, this shift will enable these activities to
be represented within the context of each media program and strategy.
The five following primary functions remain within the interdisciplinary
area.
The Scientific Assessment program in the Interdisciplinary media has
principal responsibility for developing Agency guidelines for assessing
carcinogenic, mutagenic and chronic risks, and exposure estimates. Respon-
sibility for these functions has been placed in this program to assure
that consistent approaches are developed for assessing pollutant impacts
across all media and pollutants. In addition, the program is responsible
for producing air and water criteria .documents for use by regulatory
offices. This criteria development function requires the integration of
scientific information on a multimedia and interdisciplinary basis. It
represents the end point of the R&D process, wherein results of many
experiments must be synthesized and translated for use by regulatory deci-
sion makers. The establishment of this program in FY 1979 will represent
a significant commitment by the Agency to assure that research results
are utilized in a timely fashion within the regulatory development process.
The Technical Information program is primarily responsible for assur-
ing that the results of the EPA research and development program are tran
ferred in a timely manner to the variety of public and private environm
decisionmakers who depend on these findings. In addition to providing tii
OOC2
-------
full range of information support services, such as responding to requests
involving specific technical questions or the routine publication and dis-
tribution of scientific reports, this program places primary emphasis on
actively transferring needed technical Information to specific user groups.
The primary user groups of concern to the technical information program
are the Agency regional and regulatory operations, State and local envir-
onmental officials and consulting engineers in the private sector.
The Anticipatory Research program was first identified as a separate
effort in FY 1978 to (1) identify and characterize emerging environmental
problems before crises arise, (2) provide a commitment of support to
important long-term studies which may require several years to complete,
and (3) support the development of new knowledge about fundamental envir-
onmental principles and concepts. The results of these programs are in-
tended to provide the scientific foundation for future applied work and
to provide the scientific information necessary for future regulatory
actions. In FY 1979, the program will be redesigned to address the primary
concerns identified by the National Academy of Sciences. The program
will be divided into three components: (1) Innovative Research — to
provide opportunities for scientists with unique ideas, (2) Center Support
Research — to provide long-term support for basic studies in key research
areas (e.g., epidemiology and ground water research), and (3) Directed
Programs — to investigate emerging interdisciplinary problems. Included
in this third activity are programs dealing with acid rain, carcinogens,
environmental benefits, and integrated monitoring. Major emphasis in
FY 1980 will include initiatives in the area of intermedia transport of
chemicals between land, air, and oceans; integrated eco-system investi-
gations in stressed watersheds; and pilot biological monitoring of
terrestrial and freshwater species.
Environmental Impact Statements
The Interdisciplinary portion of the environmental impact statement
(EIS) program prepares EIS's and negative declarations for new source
discharge permits. Other responsibilities include reviewing proposed
actions by other Federal Agencies that will affect the environment., and
assuring that other Federal Agencies comply with pollution control re-
quirements .
Consolidated Grants
The consolidated grants initiative is a legislative proposal that
will be sent to Congress in FY 1979. It proposes to reform Federal envir-
onmental assistance programs to State and local governments to encourage
a "total" environmental approach. The initiative is designed to support
comprehensive environmental planning and management, increased flexibility,
and more efficient program administration. This request provides $25
million for this proposal. Supplementary assistance awards will be made
by the Agency to State and local governments in order to provide incentives
and support for States that integrate their environmental programs. Other
awards would be made to recognize good performance and support special
projects.
-------
II. RANKIHG CRITERIA AMD PRIORITIES
The ranking criteria for the Interdisciplinary program included the
following considerations:
1. The implications of the work on health and welfare;
2. The extent to which work directly responds to Presidential
or Congressional mandates;
3. The extent to which work directly responds to judicial rulings;
4. Public interest in the program;
5. The urgency of the problem which the program attempts to
address; and
6. The extent to which the program could be accomplished through
delegation or contracting, thereby reducing Federal employment
needs.
III. 1980 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The proposed 1980 program provides for an important increase in funds
for Anticipatory Research to continue the President's initiative to expand
support for long-term and basic studies. It provides for a significant
increase in positions in the Scientific Assessment Program to support the
hazardous risk assessment program. It also proposes a reduction in the
funding level for extramural resources needed to support the development
of water quality criteria because most work related to the NRDC Consent
Decree pollutants will be completed in FY 1979. In the area of technical
information, a modest decline in positions along with a corresponding
increase in funding support is proposed to shift from an in-house to an
extramural program.
IV. REQUEST SUMMARY
FY 1980 Total Changes from FT 1979
PFT BA $(000) PFT BA $(000)
Research and Development 193 26,755.0 +18 +783.5
The increased resources support the scientific assessment program
and a continued expansion of the anticipatory research program. A modest
decline in in-house technical information activities is proposed.
Scientific Assessment 68 6,006.0 +17 -1,611.5
'This program has two major components: criteria development/effects
assessment and health risk assessment.
The criteria development/effects assessment program produces evalua-
tions of a pollutant's effect on human health which are then utilized as
scientific criteria for regulatory decision making. In FY 1979, aquatic
and human health criteria will be developed for most of the 65 NRDC Consent
Decree pollutants and 15 (from a list of 41) other priority water pollutant
The FY 1980 budget provides a $1.6 million decrease in criteria development

for ambient water quality, reducing to 26 the number of water pollutants
to be studied.
The hazardous risk assessment program serves as an Agency-wide focal
point for EPA risk assessment activities. By providing methodology,
guidance, and quality control, this program ensures consistency and high
scientific standards for the hazard assessments prepared throughout the
Agency. This group also provides substantive assistance and/or performs
risk assessments at the request of program offices. In 1977, a Cancer
Assessment Group was initiated to serve the Agency-wide need to determine
carcinogenic potential from exposure to certain chemicals. In FT 1979,
the overall program will be enlarged to include an exposure assessment
group and a reproductive health effects assessment group. The FT 1980
budget provides 17 additional positions in support of these expanded risk
assessment functions.
Technical Information 27 3,817.0 -4 +395-0
The changes in this program reflect the shift of a portion of the
work load in this activity from in-house to extramural to allow more
optimum utilization of the Agency's personnel resources. The remaining
increase in fiscal resources will support the continued operation of the
small flow Waste Treatment Clearinghouse required by Section 104 of the
1977 Clean Water Act Amendments.
Anticipatory Research 98 16,932.0 +5 +2,000.0
This program represents the principal vehicle for implementing the
recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences and others in the
area of long-term basic research in EPA. The program incorporates three
components: innovative research, center support research, and directed
programs. The proposed increases are responsive to the President's and
the Office of Science and Technology Policy's initiative to increase
support for basic research.
The increases would specifically enable the Innovative research pro-
gram to continue to provide opportunities for individual scientists.
Approximately 15 participants would be added to the program in FY 1980.
When combined with the FY 1979 participants, a group of 30-40 rotating
scientists would be funded by the program. In addition, the center support
research program would initiate two new studies to examine the intermedia
exchange rates of chemicals between land, atmosphere, and oceans. The
long-term intent would be to define chemical emission factors associated
with different land patterns and corresponding atmospheric scrubbing rates.
The other major study would aim to examine a total watershed ecosystem on
a long-term basis as it recovers from a stress which has been removed by
virtue of a regulatory action. Finally, the increase will provide for pilot
biological monitoring activities, presently conducted only in near-shore
waters through the mussel watch program, in terrestrial freshwater systems.

Abatement and Control 90 28,7Q9..8 +3 +25,461.9
Federal Activities/EIS 24 603.2 + 2 +64.9
Review-Air
This level will permit continued compliance with the National Envir-
onmental Policy Act and Section 309 of the Clean Air Act which require
review of the proposed actions of other Federal agencies that will affect
the environment. It will also enable EPA to assure that other Federal
agencies comply with new pollution control requirements under Section 118
of the Clean Air Act.
Federal Activities/EIS 66 3, .100.6 +1 +397.0
Review-Water/New Source
EIS Preparation
This level will permit continued compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act and Section 309 of the Clean Air Act which re-
quire review of proposed actions of other Federal Agencies that will
affect the environment. It will also enable EPA to assure that other
Federal agencies comply with new pollution control requirements under
Section 313 of the Clean Water Act. In addition, EPA will continue to
comply with NEPA requirements' to prepare environmental Impact statements
or, in cases where an environmental assessment indicates no significant
impact is involved, negative declarations when issuing new source dis-
charge permits.
Consolidated Grants - 25,000.0 - +25,000.0
In FY 1979, the Administration will propose legislation authorizing
a Consolidated Grants program. This proposal has been developed by the
EPA at President Carter's direction in order to provide an alternative
way for State and local governments to obtain EPA grant assistance. This
budget requests $25 million in FY 1980 to implement the supplementary
assistance aspect of this program. These funds will be used to provide
support and incentives to States to consolidate their environmental efforts,
giving the Agency leverage to reward good performance and encourage special
projects.

Activities
o Provide continuing support for four research centers initiated in
FY-79 as a means of implementing recommendations made to Congress for the
conduct of long term research. These four centers and their corresponding
aims are: (1) Epidemiology-Develop new methods for conducting epidemiological
studies; (2) Advance Technology-Develop understanding of basic phenomena
important to treatment of wastes; (3) Groundwater-Conduct long term studies
of pollutant movement and transformation in groundwater systems; (A)
Integrated Exposure Monitoring-Develop methods and field test approaches for
monitoring total body burdens. EPA's credibility would be secriously weakened,
if these recently established long term research programs were not continued.
o Provide support for mussel watch program. - This program now entering
into its 3rd year of field sampling, is providing new insights into potential
hot spot pollution areas in U.S. coastal waters. Continuing support is needed
to establish trends, isolate seasonal phenomenon, and assess the potential long
term significance of pollution loads on coastal waters. A comprehensive paper
describing the progress of the project by authors from 8 participanting
institutions, including the Woods Hole and Scripps Institutes of Oceanography,
has been submitted to Environmental Conservation.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS

Activitity
o Provide support for Cancer Research to approximately the FY-79 level.
Specifically provide for epidemiology studies on the Gulf Coast and one other
potentially high exposure level area in order to determine the relationship
between carcinogens in the environment and disease in man. Continued support
will be provided for in depth investigations of cancer hot spots identified
by NCI, e.g., the New Jersey and Detroit studies being funded in FY-78.
o Continue support to Forecasting Program to develop forecasts of
emerging problems. Funding provides the only organized cross-media long range
forecasting activity in EPA. It will aim to identify new research ideas and
identify the scope of potential problems warranting further research.
Specifically support Up-Grade, World literature watch, and two assessments of
perceived problems generated by new-regulations or advances in science. For
example, research dealing with the development of new genotypes is expanding
rapidly. The potential environmental impacts are not yet bain,; r-oalyzed but ar
typical of the future problems to be assessed in this program.
o Initiate a center for long term research on ultimate disposal problems
of solid waste on soil systems. The Science Advisory Board and OWWM have
identified long term research on soil systems as a need the agency must
recognize. EPA's Research Outlook specifically forecasts a growth in the
volumes of solid waste likely to be generated in the future. The initiation
of center •Jro-r long term studies in this area is designed to address this need.
It will specifically focus on long term impacts likely to result from use of
land systems to dispose of solid." residues.
o Initiate pilot terrestial biomonitoring program to forecast long term
impacts on terrestial ecosystems. This activity will complement the mussel
watch program in coastal waters. It will represent the second of a three part
pilot program to identify hot spots and trends through biological monitoring.

Activity
o Initiate two centers for long term research
(1) Intermedia Transport Phenomenon - Purpose: To investigate the
pollutant exchange rates between media with emphasis on air to
land and water, land to air and water to air processes. Land
water exchange rates along with nutrient exchanges are subjects
of current investigations, but the wash out rates of other
toxic substances and the emission rates from different land
patterns have not been characterized. This study will
investigate these and other intermedia chemical f.luxes.
(2) Integated Ecosystem Study - The EPA Science Advisory Board
believes the agency is not conducting sufficiently broad and
integrated ecosystem studies>i.e. past efforts have been aimed
primarily at toxicity studies in laboratories. This study would
be designed to investigate a stressed watershed which is
expected to recover as a result of regulatory actions.
o The Innovative Research Program has received initial expressions of
support both within OMB and in Congress as an important step toward
improving the internal scientific competence of the Agency and as a
means of assuring that unique "bottoms-up" proposals are supported.
Funding this level will allow a modest number of new starts
(approximately 15 scientists) to be initiated, thereby, allowing new
people and ideas to be supported by the program in FY-80. The specific
theme in FY-80 will be to explore the utility of existing data banks.
Concerns have been expressed that EPA collects considerable amounts of
data for single purpose-'projects which largely goes unutilized. Such
data could yield new insights into these and other environmental
problems if fully analyzed. This expansion will attempt to address
this concern by increasing the internal capability "of the Agency to
perform empirical analyses of existing data.
o The Science Advisory Board has expressed support for Increased re'search
in biological monitoring. This level provides partial support to
initiate a pilot biological monitoring program for fresh waters. It
will complement the mussel watch program (Level 2) and the terrestrial
bio-monitoring program (Level 3). The efforts will be compled with
an going activity to develop a pilot specimen bank and will enable all
important biogeographical areas to be included in a comprehensive
program.

FORM 1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HO ORD MEDIA: Interdis,
Scientific Assessment H110 REG. APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the scientific assessment program is to provide the Agency's
regulatory programs with a centralized capability for evaluating effects
from exposure to pollutants and estimating the level of risk involved.
The program will be capable of reviewing known information about pollutants
and their effects upon the environment, assessing this information and
producing scientific data summaries for risk assessment or other regulatory
decision making. The evaluation of risk for all significant health effects
with a current priority for carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, teratogenesis and
sterility will be a major function of the program.
With the development of Agencywide guidelines for risk and exposure
assessment the program will significantly improve the uniformity and
Agency
In 1978, the scientific assessment program had two components; a Cancer
Assessment Group (CAG), and a criteria and effects assessment activity to
serve the Agency's air regulatory office. The CAG (with 11 positions),
continued guideline development for the evaluation of carcinogenic potential
and risk, performed risk assessments for all other Agency offices except
radiation, reviewed assessments for some Agency programs and acted as a
health policy advisory body to the Agency. Approximately 90 units of work
were processed.
The criteria and effects assessment activity (12 positions) initiated
work on four air criteria documents completed work on three others and
conducted two assessments of health hazard for the Agency's air regulatory
office.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The program has two components; hazard risk assessment, and criteria
development /effects assessment, both of which are expanded over the 1978
level. In the risk assessment area, the capability of the CAG has been
extended and new assessment groups for exposure and reproductive effects
were started with a first year objective to develop Agencywide guidelines
for developing and evaluating exposure data and pollutant effects on
the human reproductive system including mutagenesis.
The criteria development/effects assessment activity expanded its outputs
for the Agency's air program by starting work on two air criteria documents,
completing work on two others, conducting seven air hazard health assessments
and evaluating one special regional air pollution problem. A new criteria
development activity was initiated in 1979 to provide water quality criteria
for 65 Consent Decree chemicals plus an additional 15 suspect water contamin-
ants.

Hazard Risk Assessment
The Cancer Assessment Group will review and update Agency policy
and methodology on cancer risk evaluation. In addition it will review risk
assessments done by other Agency program offices and can conduct a number
of assessments on an as needed basis. Each program office has a different
mixture of requirements which range from preliminary to final assessments.
This funding provides about 50% of the projected Agency need as follows:
Pesticides - review and or develop 6 pollutant assessments
Toxics - review 27 pollutant assessments
Air - conduct 26 pollutant assessments
Water Supply - review and or develop as necessary 12 assessments
Water Quality - review and or develop as necessary 22 assessments
Regions - perform risk evaluations for 6 special problems
Criteria Development and Effects Assessment
_A-,r: Will finish HC, SOx and particulate air criteria documents begun
in 1979. A review and update of 5 of 7 criteria documents will be initiated
One assessment of health hazard for special regional problems will be
initiated (problem to be identified by Region at later date). Four assess-
ments of air health hazard will be done for OANR to support their regulatory
program in hazardous pollutants. Candidate pollutants will come from
results of preliminary CAG risk evaluations done in FY 1979.
Water: Will initiate work on 9 water quality criteria documents which will
consider bath human health and aquatic factors. (The 9 is from an OWWM
list of 41 pollutants). In addition, the health criteria effort on 45 of
the 65 Consent Decree pollutants started in 1979 will be completed and
turned over to OWHM for final criteria document preparation.
Impact; The three program areas listed above are cornerstones in the
Agency's effort to develop scientific criteria for air and water office
decision making and render assessments as to the level of cancer risk
involved. Without these programs the program offices would have to provide
for themselves and suffer the potential criticism of non uniformity
of approach and parellel/ overlapping efforts.

Hazard Risk Assessment
This level continues a new initiative begun in 1979. It will establish
a baseline management framework to oversee the development of guidelines
and policy begun in FY 1979 for the Agency's various activities in health
risk assessment. The program was established in response to an Admini-
strator's directive of March 1978. At this level of resources only a
partial response to the total need can be provided. With 8 positions there
was created a director's office, planning officer, and a functional cap-
ability to develop guidelines for the Agency's needs in exposure assessment.
The exposure assessment group with 5 positions will finish the 1979 effort
to develop Agency guidelines and procedures for conducting exposure analysis
and have a capability to review a small number of exposure evaluations for
the program offices. The review effort would be targeted at 20 assessments
out of a potential requirement for 150.
Criteria Development and Effects Assessment
Air: One additional air health hazard assessment will be initiated to
support the OANR efforts to investigate hazardous pollutants.
Water; Work will be initiated to develop aquatic and health criteria for
1 additional new pollutant from the OWWM list of 41.
Impact: This funding level continues activities begun in FY 1979 to
address Agency needs in hazard assessment specifically in the area of
exposure. A failure to fund this level will stifle this program initiative
which was called for by an Administrator's directive in March 1978. The
topic of exposure is of key importance in the Agency's ability to accurately
evaluate and regulate hazardous pollutants. A review of ongoing policy,
and a specification of uniform methodology is of vital importance to
1979 programs and will certainly carry over into the expanded Agency
intiatives in 1980.

Criteria Development and Effects Assessment
Alr: The air criteria and assessment program will increase the number
of air health hazard assessments by 3 and provide an evaluation of the
state-of-art of 4 selected scientific topics which have across the board
relevance to the criteria documents and scientific assessment program. For
example, evaluations of the following topics may be candidate: precusors
tc acid rain, precursors to oxidant formation, and use of dispersion
models in transport determinations. The selection of topics will be a
jcint OANR/ORD decision in mid FY 1979.
Water: This level will provide an additional capability to develop health
and aquatic criteria for 3 new pollutants from the OWWM list of 41. At
this level the cummulative capability is 13 pollutants whereas the '1980
requirement calls for 26.
Impact: This funding level provides an incremental boost in the quality
and quantity of effort devoted to the air criteria and assessment program.
The quality of the air assessment outputs is improved because at levels 1
and 2 the air assessment program is conducted entirely on a contractual
basis which is not judged to be a satisfactory approach. By incorporating
level 3 resources, inhouse manpower of about 1/2 MY per assessment is
allocated in addition to the provision of more hazard assessments.
The development of criteria documents and the conduct of scientific assess-
ments reveals that the Agency concentrates on documenting the effects while
bouncing in and out of secondary scientific considerations like, precursors,
the use of modeling as a predictive tool, etc. A state-of-art review for
these and other topics is a very desirable product from the standpoint of
sharpening the quality of effects assessment and providing a uniform
understanding of the background issues and facts. ORD is proposing to
evaluate four of these topics in 1980.

Hazard Risk Assessment
Cancer Assessment Group: The CAG will continue its operational capability
to review assessments done by others and on an as needed basis, conduct
evaluations and assessments of risk for the program offices. Each program
office has a different mix of review versus conduct requirements.
The outputs will increase by 50% with the CAG able to match the total
projected Agency need for 250 units of work activity.
Pesticides: - review and or develop 32 assessments
Toxics: - review 28 pollutant assessments
Water Supply: - review and or develop 11 assessments
Water Quality: - review and or develop 23 assessments
Air: - conduct 26 pollutant assessments
Regions: - perform risk evaluations for 6 special problems
Impact; The CAG is fulfilling a leadership role in the Agency assessment
of cancer risk. The 1978, anticipated 1979, and projected 1980 requirements
for methodology development and operational capability reaffirms the 1980
need for an Agency inhouse staff of 19 PFT's. A reduced staffing allowance
would have to be matched with decreased service to the program offices
which in turn stifles the decision process for planned regulatory initiative

Hazard Risk Assessment
The expanded initiative in hazard assessment that was established
in level 2 and increased in level 4 is bolstered with the establishment,
using 6 positions, of an assessment capability in reproductive health
effects specifically; mutagenesis, teratogenesis and sterility. The group
will complete Agencywide guidelines for assessing the risk of reproductive
effects from exposure to chemical agents that was begun in 1979. As these
are completed a limited oversight activity will be undertaken to review the
assessments done by other program offices.
Also, one position is provided to serve as a health policy advisor to
coordinate and advocate Agencywide health issues. This is in response to a
request from the Administrator.
Criteria Development and Effects Assessment
Water; This level provides a capability to develop health and aquatic
criteria for 2 additional pollutants from the OWWM list of 41.
Impact: In part this level continues to expand the centralized hazard
assessment capability of the Agency as called for in the Administrators
directive. In ZBB tradition this is the next service level and priority
area for development. Reproductive effects, as a basis for regulatory
actions is following cancer as an area for immediate concern.

Hazard Risk Assessment
The small exposure assessment function in level 2 is expanded with
2 positions and extramural dollars. The level 2 resources are almost
totally consumed in overseeing the development of agency policy and
guidelines such that only a very small allowance can be made for reviewing
assessments. This level expands the group's capability to review and
conduct as necessary exposure assesments for the program offices. The
resources will permit an expansion of from 20 to 70 units of activity.
The reproductive effects assessment program in level 5 is also expanded
to provide a greater operational capability to conduct reviews and provide
Agencywide oversight. The resources will permit an expansion of from
approximately 20 to 70 units of output i.e., assessment reviewed.
Impact: A satisfactory review capability for the exposure and reproductive
assessment groups could not be incorporated in an earlier level. Although
the first priority need is to establish uniformity and quality control with
Agencywide guidelines it is also important to conduct a review function of
sufficient magnitude to insure that the highest quality of exposure analysis
is produced.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The Technical Information program orovides the latest scientific
*nd engineering information, in an efficient format, to environmental
enforcement-, design/engineerina, management and decision-making officials.
This information, most of which is aathered and synthesized from research
performed by the Office <~>f Research anrf Development, is pac-kaned »ccord-
ina to nser reauirements. Output from the Technical Information-program
includes design manuals, guidance documents, national, recrional and local'
seminars, executive summary documents and Dublications control.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Major IY 1978 accomDlishments included the following publications:
Industrial Handbook for Air Pollution Control, Design Manual for Tand
Treatment- of wasrewater, Desion Manual for the Landfillina of Sludge
which was developed in conjunction with the Office of Solid Waste. Major
seminar series were "resented throughout the United States and covered
the following subjects: pretreatment of industrial effluents, treatment
of small waste flows, control of nollution from irrigation return flows,
pollution control in the asnhalt industry, lake restoration (in conjunc-
tion with the Office of Water Programs), and biodeqradation (in conjunc-
tion with the Office of Pesticides Programs).
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
During IY 1979, the Technical Information Program will continue to
provide tailored publications, manuals and seminars for its user community,
and will shift toward greater reliance on the EPA Recrions and Program
offices for the selection of topics and information formats. A major
new initiative will be the establishment and operation of a small flows
information clearinghouse as required bv Section 104 of the IS 77 Clean
Water Act Aimendments. In additon, the Research Highlights and Research
Outlook reports will >^e produce^ for Congress. A npnual on sludge
control will be produced, and a number of seminars will be conducted
focusing on innovative alternative municipal wastewater treatment tech-
nology and industrial wastewater nretreatment. Also, a project-level
research status information system will be develcoed to provide more
efficient access to the details of EPA's research and development efforts.

publications manafrement/distribution control. It also maintains the
quality control function for the research oroject status system that
allows access to information on nearlv 3,000 active EPA research projects.
Finally, this level provides for the nroduction of an annual Research
Highlights report and the Congressionally mandated Research Outlook
reoorts.
Benefits;
- assures the public availability of ORB'S research rerorts through
centralized report processing.
- Assures the availability of accurate, up-tc—date information on
on-going EPA research projects.
- Achieves economics of scale through centralized orovision of
support for oublications orocessina, report production and seminar
presentation.
- Provides ORD-wide quality-ron-f-rolleri resoonse to Congressionally
mandated report.
Consequences of not funding;
-Loss of coordinated technical/riBnaaement information capability.
-S^vei-e setback to o"tput-oriented research effort.
-Deprive EPA reqions, PrcTar of^ic^s of Technical Information
transfer capability within ORD — subsequent lack of accurate technical
information to key design/engineering and environmental management
individuals at state and ify-ai levels.
-Probable net increase in overall resources required due to dis-
persion of essential services among the various ORD and EPA offices —
resulting in redundancy and/or inefficient use of resources.

Activities
This funding increment allows the Technical Information program to
continue *~o produce °penially ^ailorfid desion manuals, seminars and execu-
tive rerorts to provide the latest technical and scientific data to the
nation's environmental engineering, management and decision-makina
comnunitv. Specifically, this funding supports the small wastewater flows
information clearinghouse as required bv Section 104 of the 1977 Clean
Water Act Ammendments, provides for the production and distribution nf a
design manual on enerqy conservation in municipal waste treatment fin
noniunction with the Office of Water Program Operations) and a procedures
manual on analyzing organic comoounds in water. In addition, seminar/
workshops will be conducted nationwide, in conjunction with the EPA regions
and/or program offices, on such topics as: combined sewer overflow control
toxic and hazardous materials control, inorganic chemicals industry
pollution control, pollution control in agriculture (with USDA), upgrading
municipal treatment technologies to meet IPDWR/RPDWR requirements,
pollution control in the foundary industrv and small wastewater treatanent
systems.
Benefits:
-Allows Technology Transfer Prooram to participate as full partner
with EPA regions and program offices in providing for efficient technical
information transfer.
-Provides direct ORD technical information transfer to state, and
local environmental regulators, EPA p-nag^-am ^ff-ice^ su<-to ac th<=> Of^icr-
of Water Planning and Standards and the Office of Water Program Operations.
-Allows for significant effort to be conducted to provide technical
information aimed at regional, state and local air pollution control
officials.
-Provides for rapid synthesis and transfer of relevant EPA scientific
and technical information directly to the consulting scientists and engineer^
upon which most comnunities depend for analyses of air and water pollution
control needs and techniques. -
Consequences of not funding;
-Failure to exploit existing technical information transfer capabili-
ties.
-Dispersion and lack of coordination of technical and scientific
communications efforts among the various ORD and EPA operating arms with
resultant decline in efficiency and loss of effective integration of
information producers with information users.
-Inability to support adequate level of activity to provide viable
small flows information clearinghouse as mandated by Congress.
-Significantly poorer technical information support to state and (JUi

Federal Activities/EIS Review-Air (H 210) REG- X APPRO: A> & c>
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
To ensure that all Federal agencies, under Executive Order 11752, comply
with Federal, State, interstate, and local substantive standards and limita-
tions for the prevention and control of environmental pollution. This can
be accomplished through early identification of problems, assistance in
obtaining funding, technical assistance, and enforcement actions, as
necessary.
Compliance with requirements under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and
the National Environmental Policy Act to ensure that proposed actions of
other Federal agencies do not adversely impact the quality of the environment
This can be accomplished through timely and thorough reviews, pre-draft and
pre-final liaison, technical assistance, and referrals, as necessary, to CEQ.
C FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In Federal facilities compliance, primary emphasis was on ensuring
adherence to consent declarations and delayed compliance orders by noncomply-
ing Federal facilities. Increased efforts were directed toward improving the
effectiveness and timeliness of air new source reviews and coordination with
the EIS review process. The major emphasis was on EPA assistance to other
Federal agencies to integrate effective environmental planning with basic
programmatic decision-making processes on major energy, transportation, and
other development projects that might otherwise have caused severe air
pollution or other environmental harm. Revised EIS review guidelines on
highway projects have been drafted.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In Federal facilities compliance, primary emphasis will continue to be on
negotiating delayed compliance orders with noncomplying Federal facilities and
ensuring adherence to the July 1979 statutory deadline. The increased State
rcle under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 will necessitate substantial
EPA interaction with the States. Also, emphasis will be focused on helping
Federal agencies budget for pollution abatement projects. No significant
change in the regional EIS review activity from the current year is antici-
pated. However, the budget reduction for FY 1979 will result in a substantial
reduction of headquarters input on air quality impact reviews. The major
regional emphasis will be on pre-draft impact statement liaison and pre-final
impact statement consultation. Revised EIS review guidelines on highway
projects will be finalized and issued. Work will begin on EIS review guide-
lines on nuclear power plants, airports, impoundments, and channelizations.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Federal Facilities Compliance - Emphasis will be placed on identification of
problems, encouragement of funding and enforcement actions as necessary.
Some technical assistance provided. Minimal inspection activity and only on
Class A Federal facilities. Funding this base level will place greater
responsibilities on Federal facilities. Compliance with applicable rules
and r egulations will primarily be voluntary for other than the limited
Class A sources inspected. Ability to assure adherence to compliance
schedules will be limited to the Class A sources. Not funding this level
would drastically impact the implementation of E.O. 11752 and compliance with
Section 118 of the Clean Air Act. Control would be lost at the Federal level
and Federal facility compliance would be largely dependent upon whatever
actions, if any, State or local agencies decided to implement.
EIS 309 Review - Timely and thorough review of all EIS's will not be achieved
Cursory pre-draft and pre-final liaison performed with no post-EIS follow-up.
None or very little technical assistance provided. Only significant
referrals. EPA will marginally carry out functions mandated under Section
309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA. Not funding this level will preclude EPA
from compliance with the legislative mandates.

Federal Facilities Compliance - Slight increase in technical assistance on
needs, plans and specifications. Additional and more thorough inspections.
Funding this level will provide the minimum acceptable level of staffing to
assure compliance by Federal facilities. Not funding this level would result
in limited ability to assure that Federal facilities are complying with the
Clean Air Act and implementation of E.O. 11752.
EIS 309 Review - Number of timely reviews will be increased. Increased pre-
draft and pre-final liaison. Post-EIS follow-up will be provided. Funding
this level will provide the minimum acceptable level of staffing to assure
that functions mandated under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA are
carried out. Not funding could result in the Agency concurrently approving
and disapproving a project due to lack of liaison activities.

Enough pressure can be placed on Federal facilities to affect compliance
levels. Funding this level will provide an acceptable level of staffing to
assure compliance by most Federal facilities. Not funding this level will
result in less than full compliance with Section 118 of the Clean Air Act
and less than full implementation of E. 0. 11752.
EIS 309 Review - Timely and thorough review of all EIS's will be achieved.
Provide technical assistance to other Federal agencies as requested.
Funding this level will provide an acceptable level of staffing to assure
compliance with Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA. Not funding this
level will mean that fewer EIS's submitted will be of acceptable quality
resulting in more referrals to CEQ.

EIS Review/New Source EIS Preparation (H 215) REG. X APPRO: A. & C.
To ensure that all Federal agencies
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES under Executive Order 11752, comply
with Federal, State, interstate, & local substantive standards and limitations
for prevention & control of environmental pollution. This can be accomplished
through early identification of problems, assistance in obtaining funding,
technical assistance, & enforcement actions, as necessary. Compliance with
requirements under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act & NEPA to ensure that
proposed actions of other Federal agencies do not adversely impact the quality
of the environment. This can be accomplished through timely & thorough reviews,
pre-draft & p're-final liaison, technical assistance, & referrals to CEQ. To
ensure environmentally sound cost-effective decisions that are in compliance
with objectives of NEPA in the new source discharge permits program. This
can be accomplished through complete environmental reviews, timely preparation
of either an EIS or negative declaration, evaluation of alternatives to proposed
to prevent adverse environmental impacts.
In Federal facilities compliance, primary emphasis was on ensuring
adherence to consent declarations and delayed compliance orders by noncomply-
ing Federal facilities. Increased efforts were directed toward improving the
effectiveness and timeliness of water new source reviews and coordination with
the EIS review process. The major emphasis was on EPA assistance to other
Federal agencies to integrate effective environmental planning with basic
programmatic decision-making processes on major energy, transportation, and
other development projects that might otherwise have caused severe pollution
or other environmental harm. Revised EIS review guidelines on highway
projects have been drafted. A total of 15 draft and final EIS's on water new
source discharge permits should be completed. Technical guidelines on two
industries will be finalized and four will be drafted. Two areawide studies
will be completed on coal mining and energy related industries and two others
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION^11 be underway.
In Federal facilities compliance, primary emphasis will continue to be on
negotiating delayed compliance orders with noncomplying Federal facilities and
ensuring adherence to the July 1979 statutory deadline. Emphasis will be
focused on helping Federal agencies budget for pollution abatement
projects. No significant change in the regional EIS review activity
from the current year is anticipated. However, the budget reduction for
FT 1979 will result in a substantial reduction of headquarters input on
water quality impact reviews. The major regional emphasis will be on
pre-draft impact statement liaison and pre-final impact statement consultation
Revised EIS review guidelines on highway projects will be finalized and
issued. Work will begin on EIS review guidelines on nuclear power
plants, airports, impoundments, and channelizations. Approximately 24 EIS's on
new source discharge permits are expected to be filed. Several additional Stat
will assume the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program, but
they are not expected to be States with any significant new source construction
activity. Technical guidelines on 14 industries will be finalized and three
others drafted. Two areawide studies on coal mining and energy related
industries will be completed.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Federal Facilities Compliance - Emphasis will be placed on identification of
problems, encouragement of funding and enforcement actions as necessary.
Some technical assistance provided. Minimal inspection activity and only on
major Federal facilities. Funding this base level will place greater
responsibilities on Federal facilities. Compliance with applicable rules
and regulations will primarily be voluntary for other than the limited
major sources inspected. Ability to assure adherence to compliance would
drastically impact the implementation of E.G. 11752 and compliance with
Section 313 of the Clean Water Act. Control would be lost at the Federal
level and Federal facility compliance would be largely dependent upon
whatever actions, if any, State or local agencies decided to implement.
EIS 309 Review - Timely and thorough review of all EIS's will not be achieved
Cursory pre-draft and pre-final liaison performed with no post-EIS follow-up.
None or very little technical assistance provided. Only significant
referrals. EPA will marginally carry out functions mandated under Section
309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA. Not funding this level will preclude EPA
from compliance with the legislative mandates.
New Source EIS Preparation - EIS's will be prepared on the most significant
actions. Low quality negative declarations with no mitigation activities.
Medium quality environmental reviews will be performed. Funding this level
will result in some improvement in decisions from an environmental standpoint
due to the nationally recognized and understood NEPA process being utilized.
Not funding this level will result in litigation because of non-compliance
with legislative mandates, resulting in project delays. There will be
criticism of the Agency by other Federal agencies and the public sector.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Federal Facilities Compliance - Slight increase in technical assistance on
needs, plans and specifications. Additional and more thorough inspections.
Funding this level will provide the minimum acceptable level of staffing to
assure compliance by Federal facilities. Not funding this level would result
in limited ability to assure that Federal facilities are complying with the
Clean Water Act and implementation of E.O. 11752.
ELS 309 Review - Number of timely reviews will be increased. Increased pre-
draft and pre-final liaison. Post-EIS follow-up will be provided. Funding
this level will provide the minimum acceptable level of staffing to assure
that functions mandated under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA are
carried out. Not funding could result in the Agency concurrently approving
and disapproving a project due to lack of liaison activities.
New Source EIS Preparation - Slight increase in number of EIS's prepared.
Minimum pre-application meetings with applicants. Minimal field inspections
by EPA staff. Funding would result in additional improvement in decision-
making from an environmental standpoint. Not funding would result in con-
tinued litigation due to inadequate compliance with legislative mandates,
continued inadequate reviews resulting in poor environmental decisions, and
continued criticism of EPA by other Federal agencies and the public sector.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Federal Facilities Compliance - Additional and more thorough inspections.
Enough pressure can be placed on Federal facilities to affect compliance
levels. Funding this level will provide an acceptable level of staffing to
assure compliance by more Federal facilities. Not funding this level will
result in less than full compliance with Section 313 of the Clean Water Act
and less than full implementation of E. 0. 11752.
EIS 309 Review - Timely and thorough review of most EIS's will be achieved.
Provide technical assistance to other Federal agencies as requested.
Funding this level will provide an acceptable level of staffing to assure
compliance with Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and NEPA. Not funding this
level will mean that fewer EIS's submitted will be of acceptable quality
resulting in more referrals to CEQ.
New Source EIS Preparation - Improvement in quality of negative declarations
and mitigation activities added. Improvement in quality of environmental
reviews. Minimal coordination of environmental and related laws with EIS/
negative declaration analysis. Funding would result in further improvement
in decision-making from an environmental standpoint. Not funding would
result in continued delays due to litigation for less than full compliance
with legislative mandates, poor environmental decisions on some actions, and
continued criticism of EPA by other Federal agencies and the public sector.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
FORM 1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A ) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE)
Consolidated Grants (H220)
HQ
REG. x
MEDIA: Interdisp
APPRO: A&c
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
This decision unit is related to a major new Administration legislative
initiative to be forwarded to Congress in FY 1979, Consolidated Environmental
Assistance. The proposal will impact the entire range of EPA State and
local assistance grant programs. Indeed, OMB has indicated that all budget
requests concerning EPA grant programs will be submitted to Congress in the
context of the Consolidated Grant effort.
The Consolidated Grant proposal is a legislative proposal developed by
EPA and supported by the Administration. It establishes an alternative way
for State and local governments to obtain EPA grant assistance. It is a
voluntary option for State and local governments. THe proposal deals with
environmental program planning, management, and operation, as well as
federal aid reform. It is designed as a way to support integration of the
various elements of a "total" environmental program.
EPA developed the Consolidated Grant proposal at President Carter's
direction. The agency was created to integrate environmental programs and
concerns, and had experimented with consolidating grant programs administra-
tively. Legislative constraints limited the potential of this administrative
effort, further emphasizing the need for a legislative approach.
The proposed program is designed to support:
o Comprehensive and integrated environmental planning, program
implementation and management.
o Increased flexibility for State and local Government to determine
environmental protection priorities and allocate resources.
o Simpler and more efficient program administration.
This specific decision unit relates to the very significant supplementary
assistance provisions in the legislative proposal. The Agency would use the
funds requested under this decision unit to implement the supplementary
assistance aspect of the Consolidated Grants program. The proposal would
authorize the Agency to award supplementary assistance funds to accomplish
the following objectives:
o To provide an incentive to States to consolidate their environmental
efforts.
o To provide the Agency with leverage to reward good performance.
o To provide necessary support for developing State and local capacity
to integrate the management of their environmental programs.
o To provide the Agency with the ability to support and encourage
special projects (eg. the Connecticut civil penalties program). ..,

C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During FY'78, the Agency developed a draft legislative proposal
authorizing award of Consolidated Grants to State and local
environmental agencies, and submitted the proposal to OMB. EPA provided
the draft to OMB following an extensive development phase which involved
meeting in three regions with State and local representatives, and active
participation by public interest groups.
The major features of the product that resulted from these efforts
addressed issues of voluntary participation, program authority and
coverage, grant recipients, integrated program plans, plan approval,
funding flexibility, accountability, fund allotments and limitations, and
supplementary assistance.
Participation in the Consolidated Grants program is voluntary:
o A State or local Government may choose to seek a
Consolidated Grant or continue to seek categorical grant
support .
o A locality may still have this option after its State has made
a decision one way or the other.
The basic elements of program authority and coverage are that:
o The EPA Administrator may award a Consolidated Grant based
on an approved integrated program plan.
o The Administrator may award a Consolidated Grant to the
same recipient in subsequent years, but the proposal does
not obligate him to do so.
o A Consolidated Grant may include any environmental program
other than construction and the Section 205 G program of State
Management Assistance for Construction Grants, for which the
Administrator has responsibility if it permits or requires State
or local activities.
The proposal indicates that States are to be the principal
Consolidated Grant recipients, but that local or interstate agencies
may also apply. Eligibility for a Consolidated Grant would be dependent
on eligibility for at least two EPA categorical grants.
The integrated program plan is the annual plan upon which grant
approval rests:
o It represents the applicant's integrated approach to its
environmental programs.
o It covers program planning, development, implementation,
and imp r o vemen t .
o It provides for coordination of administration of the
grant by a designated agency.
-------
o It must reflect both public participation and State/Local
consultation in its development.
EPA regulations would promote grantee discretion in developing a
plan to meet the grantee's particular environmental needs.
The Administrator of EPA would be authorized to approve a plan in
whole or in part, providing his specific reasons for any disapproval.
An approvable plan must:
o Adequately address the objectives of all covered programs
in light of the applicant's environmental needs.
o Provide for sound and efficient administration of its elements.
o Provide adequately for the environmental needs of local
Governments.
Grantee funding flexibility is an important element in Consolidated
Grants. Based on an approved integrated program plan a grantee may
transfer funds among the covered programs in its plan. A grantee may
transfer from any covered program (eg. air, water, solid waste, etc.)
up to 20% of the funds allocated to that program.
Grantee accountability for expenditures will be related to the
approved integrated program plan. EPA auditors will track to the plan
as opposed to the statutes authorizing each particular covered program.
Funds for Consolidated Grants would be allotted as follows:
o Each applicant's Consolidated Grant funds will be at least
the sum of the allotments which would have been available
under the covered categorical programs included in the
applicant's plan.
o The Administrator may use unobligated or deobligated funds
at his discretion to accomplish the ends for which the funds
were allotted.
o Approved Consolidated Grants will have priority for reallotted
funds.
o No grantee may receive Federal funds in any year when Non-
Federal funds to be spent are less than the amount spent
the previous year - - State-wide reductions are an exception.
Supplementary assistance is the feature to which the funds requested
in this Decision Unit are related. The proposal authorizes the
Administrator to award up to 202 additional funds, beyond those allotted
for covered programs, to Consolidated Grant recipients. As specified
earlier these funds are basically incentives or inducements to participate
in the program and resources to support program integration and related
projects.

D) FY'79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In FY 1979, the Administration will submit the Consolidated Grant
legislative proposal to Congress. The proposal is likely to get
multiple referrals in Congress because of the array of committees
concerned with EPA programs. Following hearings on the proposal,
Congress will act on the legislation. If it is passed, the Administrator
will publish regulations within 180 days of passage. Simultaneously, Agency
regional office staff will work closely with State and local officials
to prepare to implement the program in FY 1980.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities - The proposed legislation authorizes the Agency to provide
incentive funds to those states electing to participate in the Consolidated
Grant Program. The incentive funds could be up to 20% of the total amount
of grant funds provided by EPA to the State. Assuming this 20% incentive
funding level in each state, EPA could provide incentive funds to
approximately 30% of the States.
Benefits of Funding - Most states expressing interest in consolidating
their environmental programs can be encouraged to do so. This will result
in approximately 30% of the states being able to develop and administer
comprehensive programs for the protection of the environment, tailored to
their particular environmental problems and reflecting appropriate attention
given to the interrelated nature of environmental problems. It will
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of those States' environmental
programs by providing them with increased flexibility in determining their
own environmental priorities and in allocating resources accordingly. It
will also reduce paperwork and other administrative burdens associated
with categorical federal program assistance.
Consequences of Not Funding - No funds would be available to encourage
participation in the Consolidated Grant Program. Some states that desire
to integrate their environmental program would not be able to so because
front end funds used for start-up costs would not be available. For
example, common administrative services eliminating duplication would not
be available. Incentive funds may be critical to establish an infrastructure
for an environmental enforcement or monitoring program. A single
environmental inspection program is often critical to integrated programs.
Without incentive funds, many such programs could not be instituted. EPA
would have no leverage for rewarding and encouraging good performance.

ENERGY MEDIA OVERVIEW
I' OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
Environmental quality is influenced both by the structure of the
Nation's economic activities for resource extraction and manufacture
and by the technological capabilities of available pollution controls.
The Nation is now striving to reduce its dependence upon scarce clean
fuels, particularly foreign petroleum. The development of domestic energy
resources to power the Nation's industry may pose a variety of threats
to environmental quality. One of the Agency's major objectives is to
protect the public health and welfare from adverse environmental effects
associated with the shift from petroleum and natural gas to coal.
Research and development toward this end is mandated by the Clean Air
Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. To be effective, such
protection must be accomplished through an integrated approach so that
the control of one form of pollution does not result in other unacceptable
impacts. Effective control of the environmental impact of changes in the
Nation's energy systems must be based on a sound understanding of the
likely course of energy development and must be accomplished in a
reasonable manner at an acceptable cost.
The Nation's attempts to meet its serious energy needs will be
determined by the policies adopted by the Department of Energy. The
major provisions include:
• .Increased use of coal through conventional combustion;
• More efficient energy extraction and utilization processes; and
• The replacement of dwindling oil and gas supplies with
synthetic gas and liquid fuels derived from coal.
The President addressed the environmental issues inherent in the
changeover of the energy systems in his environmental message: "In
the near term the switch to coal must be accomplished with currently
available technology. I recognize that pollution control technology
for direct combustion of coal is not fully adequate and directed that
Federal research be increased in certain key areas. For the longer term,
I am directing the Administrator of EPA the Secretary of DOE and the
Secretary of HEW to identify the health and environmental effects of each
advanced technology and to develop procedures for establishing standards
for all new energy technologies."
"> I
-------
Because of the potentially acute health and ecological effects
associated with energy initiatives and with both existing and new
technologies for fuel processing, conversion, and utilization, the
Environmental Protection Agency has made a major commitment to ensuring
that the environment and human health are protected. Further, since
many of the problems are long term (e.g., many technologies will not be
available or in commercial use before 1985), EPA must have programs under
way to develop the health and technical data necessary to support
energy-related environmental quality standards and source discharge or
emission regulations. The lead times for health assessment and control
technology development are such that research programs must be implemented
now if energy development is to be compatible with environmental protection.
Several problem areas requiring long-term research may result in
Agency regulatory and enforcement activity. Increased reliance on
substitute fuels from coal and oil shale may generate new pollutants
whose effects are not yet known and must be defined. For example, coal
gasification processes may emit unacceptable quantities of carcinogenic
materials. New and emerging energy sources (e.g., advanced combustion
systems and geothermal facilities) may produce cumulative chronic health
and ecological effects. We must have research in these areas now if we
are to ensure the compatibility of energy system development and
public health and welfare.
The Agency must also address many energy-related environmental problems
in the near term. The Nation will substantially accelerate coal use.
Industrial coal consumption, in particular, is projected to increase.
Electric utility consumption will also grow as new coal-fired capacity is
constructed. This conversion from oil to coal will result in additional
emissions of particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, and other
combustion pollutants. The increased use of coal and oil shale will
accelerate mining in semi-arid western areas, raising serious questions
about restoration of mined lands and degradation of the quality of
available ground and surface water resources. The expanded interest
in offshore oil may lead to increased environmental problems associated
with petroleum extraction, transportation, and coastal refining.
The primary goals of the energy research and development program
are (1) to provide a sound data base necessary for the Agency to
establish regulations and incentives to encourage the use of environ-
mentally acceptable practices in extraction, processing, and utilization
of energy resources and (2) to provide, where necessary, environmental
control options for those extraction, processing, and utilization
practices which cause significant health and ecological damage.
Ou . d
-------
Assessment will determine the potential environmental problems
associated with currently unregulated coal combustion pollutants
(e.g., trace elements, organics, sulfates). In addition, informa-
tion on the health and ecological effects of coal and oil shale extraction
and on environmentally protective mining and reclamation techniques will
be developed. The program has developed and will demonstrate the operation
of staged combustion, low NOx burners for pulverized coal. The program in
flue gas desulfurization will assess operating systems and evaluate sludge
handling procedures. Control of particulates will focus on evaluating
the effectiveness of alternative technologies for limiting fine particle
emissions.
The definition of the environmental problems and requirements for
control of the longer term energy supply systems is of particular
importance. EPA is not responsible for energy technology development
per se, but must work in concert with the Department of Energy and other
agencies. The approach used is to: (1) conduct environmental assessments
to identify new pollutants and determine their potential health and
ecological effects; (2) develop an adequate scientific basis for new
environmental regulations; (3) provide guidance on control technology
requirements to Federal and industry groups developing new technologies;
(4) assist in the development of control technologies especially where
the Office of Research and Development has special expertise; and
(5) assess the adequacy of existing control technologies.
The implementation is fundamentally extramural, with EPA relying
heavily on expertise available within both the Federal and industrial
sectors. EPA will continue to manage, coordinate, and integrate the
efforts of 17 Federal agencies under the auspices of the Interagency
Energy/Environment program. ln addition to the major interagency
components of the program, much of the research and development program
is performed by industrial organizations and universities via contracts
and grants.
Each of the participating Federal agencies or departments has its
own charge (e.g., management of Federally owned energy resources,
management of Federal lands,development of new fuel sources or cycles).
In pursuing its own programs and responsibilities, each Agency must have
access to the available information on the environmental effects of energy
development and must also perform the research necessary to provide needed
additional data. EPA's management of the interagency program attempts to
minimize the overlap of the separate research programs and to assure a
reasonably comprehensive -coverage pf all energy/environment questions. In
addition, the results of the interagency research program are disseminated
and reviewed through a system of publications, joint conferences, and
symposia supported by the Office of Energy, Minerals, and Industry.

II. RANKING CRITERIA AND PRIORITIES
The resources of the energy R&D program are to be used to improve
decision making as new energy facilities are constructed. The
important criteria are as follows:
• The immediacy of the problem and the anticipated environmental
benefit of developing the required knowledge;
c The importance of research on the human health impacts of
energy pollutants rather than on ecological effects;
• The relevance of the R&D program to the known schedule of
Federal regulatory actions and the ability of the program to
generate an information base to improve the regulatory process ",
9 The degree of generality of the environmental problem and the
Nation wide importance of the risk; and
o The probable schedule for the commercial use of present
and new energy technologies and systems.
III. 1980 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The energy program will decrease in funding by about $500,000 and
increase by two positions over FY 1979 levels. Major resource losses
will occur in the environmental assessment of conventional and advanced
energy systems and the nitrogen oxide control programs, whereas the
ecological effects and the fuel processing, preparation, and advanced
combustion programs show significant increases over FY 1979 levels.

Health Effects of Energy
Related Pollutants ( 3) (20,430) (0) ( 0)
The goal of this interagency program is to provide data to reduce
the uncertainties in estimates of risk to human health associated with
non-nuclear energy technologies, emphasizing fossil fuels. The program
consists of efforts to develop the tools and data base (beyond that
available from the participating agencies' base programs) required to
-------
obtain reliable dose-response relationships for inhalation, ingestion,
and skin exposures from a variety of energy related agents. Research
is undertaken at various levels of tissue organization and includes
human health (epidemiological and clinical) and animal toxicological
studies. Supporting studies are necessary to develop valid bioassy tests
and to model risk to humans on the mechanisms of metabolism and fate
in biological systems and on the damage and repair processes. Also in-
cluded is the use of bioassay systems to detect the presence of biologically
active materials in residues from energy production and use.
The major difference in the 1980 program as compared to 1979 is
that there is an increase in emphasis on the supporting studies to
improve the quantitative nature of the bioassay systems and the capabi-
lity to extrapolate from animal data. This increase in effort will
be accompanied by a similar decrease in emphasis on the use of qualita-
tive, non-validated bioassay test systems.
Flue Gas Particulate
Control 15 8,900 0 0
Planned activities in this program will continue assessing conven-
tional technology developments to support Stationary Source Standards
revisions; developing technology to encourage expanded coal usage with
emphasis on low sulfur coals; assessing and developing technology for
the setting of Diesel Emission Standards and justification for the
control of fugitive emissions; and fundamental research to support all
program activities. The program will expand the activities to obtain
information on the fine particulate emissions and the capabilities of
control technologies to remove fine particulate materials.
Measurements & Instru-
mentation 1.0 8,537 0 0
The measurements and instrumentation program is directed toward
identifying and quantifying pollutants related to energy production or
use and to the improvement of pollutant measurement capabilities. The
two main objectives in this area are to accelerate development of new
and improved sampling and analysis methods for energy related pollutants,
and to identify, measure, and monitor pollutants associated with rapid
implementation of emerging energy technologies.
Highlights of FY 8C include the assessment of expanded regional
baseline data on air and water pollutants resulting from energy development
in the West* application of advanced synoptic monitoring techniques to
regional air pollution episodes . and increased emphasis on measurement
methods and calibration techniques for energy related organics.

Transport & Fate
(Energy) 3 8,460 0 0
The transport processes program investigates the transmission by air,
water, and soil of pollutants emitted from energy operations from their
sources to their destination in man and the environment. Additionally,
it covers the physical and chemical changes that the pollutants undergo
during their transport. Emphasis in air transport research is on
conversion of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, chiefly from coal burning
power plants, to sulfates and nitrates.
Highlights of the FY 1980 program include the continuation of the
multi-state power plant pollution study of sulfates in the Eastern U.S.;
nitric acid aerosol transformation and transport studies, chiefly in
the Ohio Valley; characterization of hazardous ambient organics
from power plants; and studies of the transformation and fate
of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine and fresh water environments.
Flue Gas Sulfur Oxide
Control 5 1,889 0 0
Planned research in this area will continue the existing flue gas
cesulfurization (FGD) technology development program and will initiate
bench scale evaluation of the MgOx FGD process. The MgOx process offers
the potential for highly reliable FGD operations, 90+ percent sulfur
dioxide removals, and minimal FGD sludge disposal problems. Activities
planned for FT 1980 are designed to provide timely input to the revision
cf the New Source Performance Standard for electric utility boilers to
be initiated as early as ,1982. The expertise developed in this program
will provide guidance to the DOE flue gas desulfurization program to be
initiated with FY 1980 funds.
Fuel Processing, Prep-
aration and Advanced
Combustion 47 13,144 +4 1,195
Plans for FY 1980 include a comprehensive environmental assessment
program to provide data and recommendations on emissions, effluents'*
.control technology to the air, water and solid wastes standard setting in
the area of coal cleaning, synthetic fuels from coal, and fluidized bed
combustion (FBC). An accelerated effort will be conducted to provide
early input in the area of near term technologies, such as atmospheric
FBC, physical coal cleaning, and low-BTU coal gasification.
I'' f '
Jul -
-------
A special effort will be conducted to develop methods for sampling and
analysis and continuous monitoring of emissions. These methods will
quantify total organic and inorganic compound emissions and characterize
their toxicity.
Energy Extraction 24 3,707 0! +337
The industrial energy extraction program for 1980 will continue to
focus on environmental quality problems associated with the technologies
and processes for obtaining fuels: oil or natural gas extraction, oil
shale development, and coal mining. The major objective of the research
program will include: 1) assessments of existing and potential adverse
impacts from active and planned fuel extraction processes; 2) development
of control technologies to abate pollution from coal mining operations in
support of our enforcement activities; 3) development of techniques for
mitigation from oil spills; and 4) technology development for control of
pollutants from emerging extraction technologies (oil shale, tar sand, etc).
Supplemental funding of $337,000 will be utilized in the assessment
of newly emerging waste reduction and control technologies for use
in secondary and tertiary municipal waste treatment facilities and in
offshore/onshore oil and gas producing facilities. Dischage and emission
control technologies applicable to the transportation and storage of
petroleum products will also be investigated.
Environmental Assessment
of Conventional and
Advanced Energy
Systems 24 15,210 .-4. -2,649
The conventional and advanced energy systems program provides
environmental assessments and contributes to the development of environ-
mentally compatible advanced technologies. Specific elements of the
program include control technologies for waste recovery, analysis of the
air quality implications of energy conservation, and environmental
assessments of geothermal, solar, biomass,and wastes as fuel energy sources,
The integrated technology assessments provide summary analyses of the
environmental, economic, and social consequences of current and future
energy supply and use alternatives. These studies use the results of
the other portions of the energy/environmental research program in
evaluating the cost/risk/benefit trade-offs of energy production and
pollution control alternatives.
As a result of reduced funding in this area, characterization of
residuals from conventional combustion processes will be very limited.
Environmental assessments of advanced energy technologies and energy
conservation methods will be reduced. In addition, cooling system
ecological impact studies will be impeded and gaps in emissions data
bases will continue to exist, limiting decision making on unregulated
pollutants and on revision of standards for regulated pollutants.

-------
Nitrogen Oxide Control... 23 13,815 ' 0. -1,035.'
Activities planned for FY 80 are designed to impact the Clean Air Act
mandated review of the Utility Boiler Standard of Performance in 1982.
The low NOx coal burner program will continue the developmental efforts
on single burners and multiple burner arrays and will initiate efforts
to demonstrate the burner on two 100-300 MWe utility boilers. Efforts
will continue to advance the NOx control "State of the Art" for
industrial boilers, stationary internal combustion engines, stationary
gas turbines, and advanced energy systems.
The reduced level of funding will affect the number of coal types
evaluated in the low NOx coal burner development program and reduce the
field applications testing efforts of combustion modification technology.
Ecological Effects 5 17,904 +2 ,+1,628
Activities planned for FY 1980 will continue the work on
determining the acute and chronic toxicological effects on freshwater,
marine/estuarine, and terrestrial organisms and resultant ecosystem
impacts from single pollutants and combination of pollutants released
from energy extraction, processing, conversion, and/or transmission
systems. Efforts will also be directed toward expanding the USDA acid rain
network and continuing the acquisition of reclamation/revegetation data/
information in support of the mandates of PL 95-87. Plans include
initiating a major ecosystem impact study utilizing an active drilling rig
in the Gulf of Mexico to determine ecological effects of offshore oil and
gas drilling adjacent to the Texas Flower Gardens, and interagency (EPA,
DOE, and HEW) workshops to identify potential health and environmental
issues and problems associated with advanced energy technologies.
The position and funds increase will be utilized to initiate a
research program designed to improve our capability to perform ecological
damage assessments of oil spills of both short-term (acute) and long-term
(chronic ) damage. The damage assessment capability is essential if an
orderly process is to be developed for establishing liability under the
provisions of present or proposed oil spill control legislation.

1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ ORD MEDIA: Energy
Fuel Processing, Preparation and Advanced
Combustion (N105) REG- APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Long Range Goals: Assure that adequate pollution control technology is
developed and evaluated and effluent and emission s'tandards recommended prior
to commercialization of emerging energy processes (fluidized-bed combustion
(FBC), coal gasification and liquefaction, coal preparation, oil- shale proc-
essing and advanced oil processes).
Major Objectives;
1. Develop methods for sampling and analysis and continuous monitoring of
emissions and effluents from emerging energy technologies.
2. Characterize emissions and effluents from existing bench scale, pilot
plant and demonstration facilities.
3.- Develop at bench scale and evaluate performance of pollution control
technology associated with emerging energy processes.
0) FT 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Initial (level 1) sampling activities completed on two low-Btu coal
ifiers (Wilputte—Chapman and Wellman-Galusha).
Standard of Practice manual for the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) coal
liquefaction process completed (describes the process, environmental controls
and expected., discharges).
3. Completed base-line environmental tests at GPU-Penelec Homer
City, Pa. physical coal cleaning site.
4. Construction of the chemically active fluidized bed (CAFB) demonstration at
San Benito, Texas was completed (startup scheduled for October 1978).
5. Initiated cleanup studies for particulate control on Miniplant (FBC) using
ceramic baghouse. _ .
6. Completed environmental assessment .o'f Paraho shale oil surface retorting
process.
D) FT 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
FT79 Activities and Planned Accomplishments.
1. Evaluate effectiveness of existing available pollution control techniques
for synthetic fuels processing.
2. Update data base for New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for fluidized
bed combustion (FBC) based on environmental assessment (EA)* at Rivesville and
Georgetown University boiler.
3. Conduct comprehensive analysis of emissions from the Wellman-Galusha and
Willputte-Chapman low Btu coal gasification processes.
tvironmental Assessment (EA) studies synthesize and evaluate information on
_ rgy and industrial processes to aid EPA in selecting optimized environmental
goals and policies to attain these goals. EA studies quantify all sources of
residuals; anticipate the severity of associated environmental risks; provide
preliminary targets for environmental goals; and assess the ability of .-j0- -
existing control methods to attain these goals. ' "

APPRO:
4. Conduct bench scale tests for pollution control methods and devices for
the Paraho retorting of oil shale.
5. Characterize effectiveness of existing add-on devices for cleanup on the
Georgetown University boiler and the 3MW Argonne FBC.
6. Conduct EA on Lurgi high, medium and low-Btu coal gasification processes.
7. Conduct EA of SRC II coal liquefaction process.
8. Conduct preliminary EA of chemically active fluidized-bed (CAFB) demon-
stration on oil, including bioassay screening.
9. Identify research requirements of the coal cleaning program.
10. Evaluate FBC solid disposal methods.
Description of Considered Alternatives.
1. Considered duplicating existing facilities to simulate real vorld
emissions.
The benefits would be that we would not have to depend on the Department of
Energy or the private sector for access to facilities. This was deemed too
costly and would not allow adequate coverage of the diversity of real world
processes.
2. Considered relying on the private sector 'and the Department of Energy to
provide all data.
The benefits would be a reduction in required resources. Consequences would
be loss in government expertise as well as the use of unverified data.
3. Selected option most cost effective at each level.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
1. Develop methods for sampling and analysis and continuous monitoring of
emissions to quantify total organics, characterize toxics and determine in-
organic compounds.
2. Environmental assessment activities will be continued in oil shale, FBC,
physical coal cleaning, synthetic fuels from coal and advanced oil processes.
This will include characterization of emissions and incorporation of health,
ecological and economic data associated with ongoing processing facilities,
such as Anvil Points (oil shale), Elvesville (FBC), Homer City (coal cleaning)
University of Minnesota (synfuels from coal) and San Benito (advanced oil
process).
3. Control technology activities will be continued in oil shale, physical
coal cleaning, synthetic fuels from coal and advanced oil processes.
A. Standard support plans will be developed and provided to air, water and
solid waste offices for physical coal cleaning, synthetic fuels from coal,
FBC and oil shale processes.
5. Preliminary effluent and emission standard recommendations will be made to
air and water standard setting offices in the area of coal cleaning, synthetic
fuels from coal, FBC and oil shale.
Benefits of Funding at this level;
1. Recommendations will be provided to effluent/emissions standard setting
offices for emerging energy technologies.
2. Wide distribution of quarterly reports to make environmental assessment
(EA) data available to industry and government policy makers.
3. More confidence in EA data generated.
4. Earlier determination of environmental problem areas.
Consequences of not funding at this level;
1. Delay in commercialization of environmentally acceptable emerging energy
technologies.
2. Increased cost of retrofit of and less than adequate performance of
pollution control devices.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the fuel extraction research program is to assess, develop,
indentify, and verify control technology for solid fuel, oil and gas extrac-
tion which will assure that the recovery of the nation's fuel reserves is •
conducted in an environmentally acceptable manner. To this end, equipment,
methods, and technology are assessed and developed to prevent, control, and
abate the discharge of environmental pollutants from both point and non-point
sources. Pollution sources include facilities for exploration, production,
storage, and transportation of coal, uranium, oil shale, oil, and gas. Both
normal operations and accidental spills are examined. Objectives for
attaining this goal are: (1) multimedia assessments of discharges and
emissions; (2) evaluation and documentation of the environmental accept-
ability and pollution abatement effectiveness of control technology;
(3) timely responses to data requirements of EPA program offices; and, (4)
publication of user manuals to meet agency, industry, and gtate needs.
C) F3 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
. Field-oriented manuals-of-practice on environmentally acceptable techniques
for the protection, cleanup, and restoration of ocean, estuarine, inland
,nd marsh shorelines impacted by oil spills were published. These enable
'local communitiesj governments, and private clean-up firms to benefit from
spill clean-up R&D~*~results and from what has been learned from experience in
dealing with oil spills. Publication of these sorts of documents is part of
a process of decentralization of expertise which enables a quick response to
local oil spill emergencies.
. Twenty oil spill control systems were evaluated at EPA's Oil and Hazardous
Material Simulated Environmental Test Tank (OHMSETT). System efficiencies
generally fell off with increasing forward velocity, increasing wave energy
and less viscous test oils. The beginning of a new series of experimental
devices is now being examined—offering promise of less costly, more effective
oil spill control.
. BAT data was obtained for western coal mines. This data will enable the
Effluent Guidelines Division to determine whether or not a separate category
for western mines is needed.
. An air jet boom designed to contain spilled oil in waters of up to 3-knots
currents was fabricated and tested. While other" systems have been designed
to work under these conditions, the air jet boom is much less expensive and
so it is expected to be more widely deployed by spill clean-up groups
throughout the country.

(Continuation of FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS)
. Source assessments of coal storage piles, coal transportation and surface
mining methods were performed. The results indicated that while these sources
of pollution do not represent an eminent threat to the environment, their
contribution to the .overall environmental degradation is significant and
should be dealt with. The assessment determined what amounts of emissions
can be expected from the best available management practices and so will
aid local authorities in developing their environmental strategy.
Five workshops on environmental impact of offshore oil and gas development
on onshore facilities were sponsored during FY-78. These workshops, which
were attended by representatives of local governments from coastal jurisdic-
tions, presented effective real-world approaches to dealing with both air &
water pollution from on-shore facilities.
Techniques for stabilization of spent oil shale and treatment for acid mine
drainage were published. Data on these techniques will enable the development
of regulations for these two industrial activities that will ultimately result
in a net reduction of pollution from them.
User manuals on overburden analysis and premining planning of surface mines
were published. These manuals are cited in and constitute the technical basis
for surface mining regulations issued by the Office of Surface Mining of the
Department of Interior.
Mine drainage treatability data on priority pollutants was obtained for
effluent guideline development. This data feeds the Agency's effort to satisfy]
the stipulations of the consent decree.

1. Continue efforts in environmental assessment of toxic pollutants, problem-
definition, and control technology development for the extraction, benefication
and handling of energy resources, including coal, oil and natural gas. Work
will be in support of program and agency needs, regional needs, and special
requests from local, state, and federal level departments.
2. Produce User manuals to summarize and describe previously verified environ-
aental control and' abatement procedures relating to coal extraction beneficiatio
and handling in the United States (both surface and underground operations).
3. Respond to requests from various advisory and regulatory groups (i.e., EPA's
EGD and OApPS, the Office of Radiation, the Office of Surface Mining) for
environmental data and verification of pollution control and abatement techno
».for trie coal mining industry.
Continue assessment of available control technology in support of Effluent
uidelines Division- with the goal of reporting on BAT and KSPS for offshore and
Dnshore oil and gas producing facilities. Level of treatment will then be
established based on realistic information relating to technology available to
the oil and gas production industry.
j. Continue development of shoreline protection and restoration techniques for
ireas impacted by oil spills. The Oil & Special Materials Control Division and
che Regional Emergency Response Coordinators will then have the latest state-of-
the art technology available to reduce the impact and mitigate the effects of
?il spills on shorelines.
3. Initiate development of guidelines for the installation and operation of oil/
jater separators to meet BAT and NSPS. New international regulations can then
>e accepted by U.S. facilities to serve tanker fleets. _
unding the above activities at this level will allow EPA to pursue a minimum
research and development program aimed at data collection and dissemination in
:he field of energy resource extraction. The program will be centered around
:oal production with minimal efforts in oil and gas production (including
.pills) advanced fuels, and techniques such as oil shale development and in
situ recovery.
funding this level will eliminate EPA's program in energy recovery;
uent Guidelines and Office of Enforcement can expect continued challenges
the industry on the technical aspects of the various guidelines and oil
pills will continue to degrade valuable estuarine areas. .

If not funded, policy conflicts will continue at the expense of both
energy goals and environmental concerns and energy resource development
will be limited to those areas which are readily able to assimilate
waste discharges. It would then not be possible to develop many of this
nation s energy resources without serious environmental harm resulting
from the waste generated by these developments.

3. Provide basic environmental data and conduct research oriented toward
assessing applicable control technology for in situ recovery of energy from
coal (liquification, gasification), oil shale, tar sands, and uranium.
Development of equipment and techniques to contain and control oil spills
which occur under cold weather conditions. Increased transportation and
development of oil resources under cold weather conditions will put a strain
on EPA's Regional response cability to cope with oil spills. New approaches
will enable these personnel to mitigate impacts.
5. Initiate development of design criteria for reduction of oil discharges
from offshore oil producing facilities. Criteria will provide guidance to
DOE and commercial operators as to environmental protection measures which
may be necessary.
Funding at this level will allow EPA to actively pursue a program aimed at
minimizing the environmental impact of recovering oil shale, tar sands, and
uranium. In addition this funding level will support environmental research
in the area of in situ recovery techniques and cold weather oil spills. The
program will focus on control technology for toxic pollutants, air emissions,
groundwater protection and offshore oil producing facilities.

to be nearly nonexistent, and new offshore developments will continue in
sensitive and frontier areas without adequate reduction in discharge levels.
With expanded exploration of offshore areas in the far North off Alaska and
during winter pumping operations in the more temperate climates offshore
New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, the probability of cold climate
oil spills from offshore pumping and drilling operation is increasing.
Without a cold weather spill response capability, the awesome specter of
this nation's coastline and coastal waters looms longer.

FORM 1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HO. QED MEDIA: Energy
Environmental Impacts of Conventional and
Advanced Energy Systems (N-120) REG. APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
This .program includes pollution-control research and development relating
to electric-utility aad'industrial-power production, energy conservation and
advanced energy systems, and integrated technology assessment. The industrial
and utility-power program emphasizes the characterization and quantification of
the air-, water-, and land-pollution potential'from the.combustion of coal and
the development of control technology for fossil-fuel/combustion-power-
generation related pollutants. Integrated technology assessments provide an
analysis of the environmental, economic, and social impacts of alternative
energy supply and use patterns on both a regional and national level. The
conservation and advanced systems studies provide an assessment of the environ-
mental and economic impact of energy conservation and of advanced energy
systems — including solar, geothermal, biomass conversion, and waste-as-fuel
systems.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Major accomplishments in FY-78 include:
(1) Provide regional and national economic and environmental impact analysis
for the revision of NSPS for utility boilers. *
(2) The assessment of the environmental effects of two industrial boilers was
completed, and data is being used to support an industrial boiler NSPS,
(3) Comprehensive review of existing air-quality models was completed, and
development of a pseudo-spectral model for regional air-quality analysis
was initiated.
... continued ...
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
(1) Conduct limited technology-development studies on wet/dry cooling towers.
(2) Terminate ongoing waste/heat-utilization studies.
(3) Define emission rates of unregulated pollutants from some major,conven-
tional combustion sources.
(A) Conduct technology development studies of two waste-as-fuel systems.
(5) Conduct partial environmental assessments (EA)* of solar and geothermal-
energy systems and for a few major energy-consuming industrial-process
changes.
,.. continued ...
Environmental assessment CEA) studies synthesize and evaluate information
on energy and industrial processes to aid EPA in identifying environ-
mentally damaging emissions and possible means of controlling these
emissions. EA studies quantify all sources of residuals, anticipate the
severity of associated environmental risks, provide preliminary targets
for emission-limitation goals, and assess the ability of existing control
methods to attain these goals.

Decision Unit Overview ... N120 — page 2:
C) FY-78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS ... cont'd ...
(A) Phase I of the Ohio River Basin Energy Study (ORBES) was completed. This
provides tentative identification of potential environmental, social,
and economic impacts that might result from varying levels of electrical
energy facility development in the Ohio River Basin.
(5) Evaluation of forced oxidation of the Shawnee Wet Limestone scrubbing
.facility was completed. Forced oxidation of scrubber sludge yields a
product which is easier to dispose of and potentially could produce a
marketable product.
(6) Evaluation, of the environmental impact of several advanced energy-producing
technologies — including solar, geothermal, biomass, and waste-as-fuel
systems — was completed.
(7) Evaluation of alternative strategies for reducing the adverse environmental
consequences of western energy development was completed. This informa-
tion will be utilized to formulate energy development policies in the
West.
) FY-79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION ... cont'd ...
(6) Conduct technology assessments of coal development in the Ohio River Basin
and alternative advanced coal-fuel cycles.
(7) Perform an environmental assessment (EA)* of the federal non-nuclear research
program.
(S) Complete existing waste/heat-utilization studies.
(9) Conduct pilot-scale/technology-development studies or one-to-three additional
waste-as-fuel systems.
(10) Conduct technology assessment of coal development in Appalachia.
(11) Study consumptive water use in power-plant cooling and assess opportunities
for energy-associated water conservation in the western United States.
(12) Expand combustion-pollution assessment to include industrial boilers.

determine the physical environmental quality over the next 30 years.
(5; Assess the magnitude and risk of catastrophe and long-term pollution
sources associated with the ponding of waste-treatment residuals
from industrial- and energy-treatment processes.
Benefits;
(1) Reduced costs associated with monitoring potential problems from
waste-heat discharges.
(2) Increased range of data for identification of unregulated pollutants
from conventional combustion systems and broadened understanding
of health and environmental threats from these pollutants.
(3) Analytical regional air-quality models for assessing regional regula-
tory approaches would be made available.
(4) Availability of improved or new emission controls designed to remove
hazardous and toxic pollutants for wastes as fuel systems nearing
commercial use.
(5) Provides an opportunity for identifying situations where single-
state/air-quality-control plans are inadequate for achieving ambient
standards, provides analytical basis for regional-control strategies.
(6) Evaluation of trends in economic activity, fuel-supply mixes, etc., is
necessary to provide .long-range steering to the entire ORD effort.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Consequences of not funding;
(1) New efficient water-faorne/waste-heat profiling techniques will not be
available.
(2) Critical data limitations regarding unregulated pollutants emitted
from conventional combustion systems will occur.
(3) There will be an absence of adequate controls for waste-as-fuel systems
(4) Analytical support to regulatory offices coping with energy-related
problems will be reduced.
(5) The ability to achieve ambient air-quality standards in states severely
affected by regional pollution would-be severely compromised.
(6) Independent evaluation of federal energy R&D and deployment plans will
not be available. DOE's R&D programs will be less adequate in the
areas of environment and conservation.
(7) Evaluation of long-range, cumulative interactive effects of pollution-
control policies will not be available to assist the agency in
developing and evaluating standards for industrial sectors and
regional implementation plans, reviewing EISs, and revising its R&D
programs.

FLUE GAS SULFUR OXIDE CONTROL (N-125) REG. APPRO:
B) LON'G RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
To assure that reliable, cost effective flue gas desulfurization (FGD)
technology is adequately demonstrated for conventional, fossil fuel-fired
boilers, which includes utility and industrial coal combustion, to support
EPA's standard setting activities and innovative technology reviews as
directed.by the Clean Air Act.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES
o Determine the generic capital and operating cost associated with FGD
as a function of S02 reduction, reliability, and solid waste characteris-
tics.
o Demonstrate that FGD processes are highly reliable (90 + percent) at
various S02 removal levels.
C) n 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o Extended the demonstration of Wellman/Lord/Allied Chemical flue gas
desulfurization (FGD) process for one year to obtain critical data
on operating costs and system reliability for this important regenerable
FGE process.
Documented the state-of-the-art for flue gas sulfur oxide control to '
support the Office of Air Program's review of the Utility Boiler New
Source Performance Standards.
o Initiated the evaluation of a 20 MWe prototype dual alkali process which
could use more energy efficient and economic limestone rather than lime.
o Continue the research and development of lime/limestone process improve-
ments to reduce FGD energy consumption and increase FGD reliability at
the Shawnee Wet Limestone Scrubber Test Facility.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM "DESCRIPTION " ' " '" "
o _ Document the state-of-the-art for industrial boiler applications of FGD
technology. The•documentation includes generic capital and operating— •- -
costs, performance characteristics, and an assessment of• FGD technological
trends
Accelerate the flue gas desulfurization technology transfer program to
disseminate the technological improvements which have been demonstrated
in the areas of performance and reliability.
Initiate a bench scale evaluation of the magnesium oxide (MgOx) process
on a coal-fired boiler. This process offers several advantages over the
current generation of lime/limestone FGD systems such as iaproved solid
waste disposal characteristics (elemental sulfur) and improved S02-
removal. „ • .'. ~ " "' ' _~" ' "i=rl L

.MEDIA: Energy
APPRO: R&D
o Initiate the data collection activities needed to support the
1982 review of the Standards of Performance for Utility Boilers.
E) CONSIDERED ALTERNATIVES
Depend on air pollution control vendors and/or private sector R&D
activities to promote more effective sulfur oxide.control technology
development. Previous experience indicates the lack of incentive on
the part of the users to promote new technology. As such, the vendors do
not seek to improve" "the efficacy of their devices in order to promote the"
sale of their costly control devices. (Not Recommended).
Continue developing inhouse expertise to operate a RD&D program for
advancing the state-of-the-art of sulfur oxide control technology. Conduct
the RD&D program via grants, contracts, and interagency agreements.
(Recommended at all levels).

scaling tendencies, energy consumption, and sludge disposal) and assisting
the utility industry in procuring FGD systems which are capable of achieving
the Utility Boiler NSPS for S02 and particulates.
2. Maintain an oversight of the Department of Energy FGD program. This
function would include reviewing the proposed DOE FGD plan and subsequent
program.
3. Continue the evaluation of the dual alkali processes which have the
potential for 90+% S02 reductions at Louisville Gas and Electric, and
Southern Indiana_Gas and Electric Company. These double alkali proce'ssei
could utilize lime and, jnore energy and cost effective, limestone to
regenerate the sodium. ~ --_.-. _
4. Document the status of FGD systems applied to utility and industrial
boilers. The report would include operability data, causes of FGD malfunctions,
and identification of new orders.
5. Document the state of the art for FGD technology to support the 1982
reviev of the Utility Boiler NSPS.' This study will identify performance
characteristics, reliability, generic capital and operating costs and utility
operational experience.
Benefits of funding this level:
o The necessary information for successful utility boiler applications of
FGD and the expertise required to resolve startup problems will be
available.
o EPA will have the technology data base to review and make more
stringent the Utility Boiler Standard of Performance for S02, if
required.
o EPA will have documented the current status of the installed and
planned industrial and utility boiler FGD systems.
Consequences of not funding this level: • UJ.L S

j Develop design criteria for optimum low NOX coal burner for pulverized coal
fired utility and industrial boilers and for residual oil and synthetic
liquid fuel fired industrial package boilers (design NOx emission rates 0.1-
0.2 pounds per million Btu).
D Evaluation of the low NOX coal burner on a new industrial boiler and as a
retrofit on two wall fired utility boilers of different designs.
3 Conduct assessment and application testing of combustion modification tech-
nology for industrial process furnaces, and for stoker coal-fired commercial
and industrial boilers.
3 Develop design criteria for catalytic combustion technology for "near-zero"
air emission levels (i.e. NOX,CO, hydrocarbons less than 10 ppm).
5 Evaluate low NCi^ emission combustion chamber .design for stationary recipro-
ca t ing eng ines.
Document the status of NOX control for utility boilers to support the 1982
review of the Utility Boiler Standard of Performance for NOx as required by
CAA Amendment of 1977.
Develop lab scale concept for NOx -control of tangentially fired coal boilers.
Continue bench scale research on the technical and economic factors relating"
to flue gas treatment for NOX and simultaneous N0x/S0x control.
Continue fundamental combustion research to provide basic understanding of
how the combustion process affects NOx and other pollutant emissions.
Benefits of funding this Level:
Technology which is capable of reducing the NOX emission limits for utility
boilers by 50 to 70% from current levels would be demonstrated.
A data base which can be used to establish a more stringent NOx NSPS would be
developed consistent with the CAA Amendment that required NSPS review cycle.
Combustion modification NOX control technology would be extended to include
industrial boilers, process furnaces and stationary engines.
Efforts to develop a "near zero" emissions combustion system would continue
at the minimal level.
Consequences of not funding this level:
The technological data base to establish more stringent NO emission regula-
tions for industrial and utility boilers would not be developed.
NOx control technology for non-boiler sources (e.g. stationary engines, proc-
ess furnaces) would not be developed.
The efforts to expand the use of coal under the National Energy Plan without
degrading the environment would be hampered.

FY-79 Alternatives Considered
In 1973, two interagency task forces (23 Federal departments and
agencies) were called together by OMB and CEQ to develop programs to
best meet the joint goals of energy development and environmental
protection. One of these, the King-Muir task force, addressed the health
and ecological effects of energy-related pollutants. This effort led to
the present interagency (11 Federal agencies) Energy Health and Ecological
Effects Program.
The only management alternatives available'are: (1) a total EPA
program—this was rejected because of insufficient facilities and
personnel and; (2) dissolution of the pass-through system in favor of
direct appropriation to each agency—this was rejected because it would
be much more difficult if not impossible to maintain a focused and
coordinated national program.

capability for evaluating the extent of environmental damage.
o As is seen, research in this decision unit applied to meeting our
responsibilities under Objective 3 above.
o The research component of oil spill response will provide urgently
required information dealing with (1) levels of environmental-
contaminations of water, sediment, and organisms; (2) biological
interactions between trophic levels; (3) techniques for measuring
extent and kind of contamination; (4) methodologies and protocols for
statistical sampling to ensure scientific cause/effects relationships;
(5) methodologies to discern relative damage of acute versus chronic
stress conditions; and (6) most importantly, research dealing with the
translation of ecological information into practical economic costs.
Benefits of Funding
This level would allow EPA to perform a research program dealing directly with
measurement of oil spill damage. The state-of-the-art is such, that there are
no routine procedures, protocols, or methodologies to perform assessments of
ecological damage. This information is needed by EPA Regions and state agencies
especially as it relates to establishing the extent of liability of spillers
of oil. Pending legislation (so-called "Superfund") would require compensa-
tion to claimants for damage to "natural resources." This program attempts
to provide the tools to obtain the required answers.

Failure to fund this level would inhibit the development of standard
procedures, protocols and methodologies required for the methodical
performance of assessments of ecological damage. In addition, research
attempting to determine the relationship between the variety of ecological
damage and the economic costs to society (as required for litigations)
would not be performed.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
LONG-RANGE GOAL ' .
Assess the transmission in air, water, and soil of pollutants and heat
emitted from energy operations. Identify pathways of thfise pollutarits from
their source to their ultimate destination (fate) in man and the environment,
including any physical and chemical transformations occurring during transport.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES (General):
To determine the mechanisms of dispersion from sites of production of
energy-related pollutants.
To determine the transformations which occur subsequent to release of
energy-related pollutants.
• To determine the pathways from sources and ultimate exposure of man,
domesticated and wild animals and plants, and in non-living material
(such.as soil and sediments) by energy-related pollutants.
4AJOR OBJECTIVrs (Specific);
Water Processes
•
- Freshwater investigations characterise the pathways and fate of
energy-related pollutants (organics, metals, other dissolved or
suspended, and thermal discharges) released into surface or ground
waters.
Marine and estuarine investigations analyze the interactions of
pollutants with the marine environment and biosystems so that
effective control methods can be developed.
Terrestrial Processes
These characterize the energy-related pollutants and their
mechanisms of transport to and through various types of surface
vegetation, soils and subsurface formations.
Atmospheric Processes
Atmospheric studies characterize the.transformation of primary
emissions for energy sources into more hazardous pollutants in
the air and determine both local and long-range transport and fate
of these energy-related pollutants. An understanding of these
processes is required to develop effective control strategies
for presently unregulated energy pollutants on both local and
lv- 3 regional scales.

C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• 1. Initiated studi&e'to determine the meteorological conditions
leading to fine particulate transformation and transport, and
visibility degradation in the West in support of 'EPA Clean Air
Act responsibilities.
2.' Initiated field studies to assess secondary atmospheric pollutant
potential organic emission fraction of energy technologies.
3. Established that there is a relationship between subcontinental
aerosol pollution and its transport over thousands of kilometers
over the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. In one case, pollution over
Georgia and Florida could be traced back to its area of origin in
the Ohio Valley 5 to 6 days earlier. This is significant for
energy development plans in the Ohio Valley area which is already
a major source of such pollution.
The implication for EPA is the need to factor such considerations
of multi-regional, sub-continental pollution transport into its
overall air pollution control strategies.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1. Investigation of the sulfate fine particulate formation resulting
from power plants in the Western U.S. and the. relationship of such
fine particulates to visibility degradation.
2. Initiate MAP3S study under EPA management. Investigate sulfate
distribution in Northeast U.S. due to power plants.
3. Identification of primary and secondary organic particulates
originating from power plants in ambient air. Investigation of
particulate transport and transformation mechanisms including
atmospheric chemical reactions.
^' Commencement and assessment of chamber studies on advanced fossil
fuel technology.
5. Determination of chemical precursors, atmospheric mechanisms
and rate constants for the transformation of NOX to nitric acid •
and nitrate. The conduct of laboratory studies of actual trans-
formation and transport downwind of coal-fired plants.
6. Performance of a series of long-range power plant plume studies in
Midwestern and Eastern U.S. to determine NOX to nitric acid con-
version rates and deposition rates under various meteorological
and atmospheric conditions and correlation of results with Jl^. J

FY 79 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
In 1973, two interagency task forces (23 Federal departments and
agencies) were called together by OMB and CEQ to develop programs to
best meet the joint goals of energy development and environmental protection.
One of these, the King-Muir task force, addressed the health and ecological
effects of energy-related pollutants. This effort led to the present inter-
agency (11 Federal agencies) Energy Health and Ecological Effects Program.
The only management alternatives available are: (1} a total EPA
program—this was rejected because of insufficient facilities and personnel
and; (2) dissolution of the pass-through system in favor of direct appropria-
tion to each agency—this was rejected because it would be much more difficult
if not impossible to maintain a focused and coordinated national program.
Major restructuring of the ongoing program.to- allow initiation of
major new activities under present funding was rejected because of a
desire not to sacrifice two to four years of investment in projects that
are scheduled to be completed with FY-80 funds.

Benefits of Funding
Establishment of air and water pollutant transport information for areas anti-
cipated to undergo rapid energy resource development and identification of
environmental pathway impacts associated with expanding domestic energy
resources (extraction, transportation, combustion, and use). Provision of
critical environmental transport data for energy-resource development to
Federal, State and local planners and policy-makers.
In view cf expanding coal combustion, the overall NOx loading of the atmosphere
In the Eastern U.S. will increase. Initial evidence indicates that through
conversion in the atmosphere nitric acid aerosol is formed and transported
«from original sources. This nitrate initiative is needed to identify
parameters in order that regional control strategies for nitric acid/
rate aerosol can be developed for minimizing human exposure and nitric
acid contribution to acid rain.
The DOE $14 Million component of this program can lead to an understanding
of the cross-regional distribution of sulfate and to the contribution of
sulfnte to acid rain and to transport of sulfate to high population areas.
This is important for future power plant siting decisions in the East.
Consequences of Not Funding
Disapproval of this level would have a severe disruptive effect on the energy-
related programs conducted by other agencies receiving EPA energy pass-through
funds and would most likely result in dissolution of the interagency program
or transferral of the management and coordination responsibilities to another
agency—most likely DOE. Because this program provides critical transport
and transformation information concerning expanding energy resources and
technology development activities, disapproval would severely curtail EPA's
ability to ensure the subtleties of environmental transport and transformation
Dhenomena are brought to bear on energy policy and decision-making and would
curtail cr-terminate an FY-78 initiated program to determine the transformation
and transport properties of organic emissions from fossil fuel combustion

Without the nitrate study, no reliable information will exist on production
levels of nitric acid/nitrate aerosol precursors from the expanding Ohio
Valley Power Complex nor on the key atmospheric precursor conditions and
chemical precursors. It is clear from the S0x/sulfate problem that reduction
of NOX is not necessarily the key to nitrate aerosol control.

Activities
o Continue broad scale, ground-based atmospheric transport and fate
program to determine the chemical and physical nature, distribution
and transport and fate of nitric acid aerosol and particulate
nitrate due to coal combustion in the northeast quadrant of the U.S.
o Expand development of long-range transport model for power plant
plumes to incorporate NOX conversion rates and deposition rates
of secondary nitric acid aerosol (and particulate nitrate if the
the latter is determined to be significant).
roefits of Funding
In addition to the transformation studies of Level 1, this gives a picture
of the extent of the acid nitrate aerosol problem and an initial insight
into the transport of key species and associated physical form and size.
The modelling aspect enables the development of a prospective assessment
of the increase in atmospheric nitrate levels associated with rapidly
increasing coal combustion in the Northeastern U.S. and the dtvelopment
of an effective EPA control/mitigation strategy.
Consequences of Kot Funding
No comprehensive understanding of the scope of the acid nitrate aerosol
problem resulting in no influence by EPA on the growth pattern of new
sources; no effective regional control strategy.

Activities
o Complex terrain model development - aimed at predicting air impacts

where new energy facilities are planned.
o Adapt development of regional transport model for power plant
plumes to incorporate NOX conversion rates and deposition rates of
secondary nitric acid aerosol (and particulate nitrate if the latter
is determined to be significant). This level includes the valida-
tion of the nitrate module of the regional model with field
measurements data.
Benefit of Funding
o Complex terrain model is needed in western region to evaluate siting
criteria by EPA regions. This gives EPA a means to determine air
impacts of specific energy developments in mountainous areas.
o Development and validation of a nitrate module for regional models
enables an overall evaluation of power plant impacts on regional air
quality, visibility and acid deposition.
Consequences of Not Funding
Inadequate understanding of the eventual distribution and fate of energy
related pollutants throughout areas which will be developed in the near
future. Therefore, there will be no adequate basis for control strategy
and/or siting limitations.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES - GOALS:
The basic goal of this effort is to identify and accurately quantify the
concentrations of pollutants in air, water and groundwater which are due
to energy-related sources and to accurately define the extent of such
pollution problems caused by major energy development. The subsidiary
goal is to ensure that adequate, accurate pollutant measurement methods
exist to measure and monitor those energy-related pollutants for which
measurement methods do not now exist.
LONG RANGE GOALS AND MAJOR OBJECTIVES - OBJECTIVES:
The major objectives are:
o To establish ambient baseline data for energy related pollutants in
those regions undergoing near term energy development and to then
measure pollutant trends associated with actual development. This
gives a direct measure of actual pollution impact against a pre-
development baseline.
To develop quality assurance procedures for such measurements programs
in which a variety of agencies participate and to develop appropriate
measurements calibration materials for these needs.
o To develop ambient sampling and analytical methods for those pollutants
whose presence will increase in the environment as a result of energy
development and for which measurement methods are presently inadequate.
Emphasis is on pollutants which should be measured in near term research
studies.
o To develop synoptic and advanced techniques for rapidly monitoring
the levels and extent of energy pollutants and their impacts on broad
geographical scales in real time.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o Evaluation of the initial year of energy-related pollutant data
collected in the Western energy region under the coordinated measure-
ments quality assurance effort and identification of specific inade-
quacies of the regional data base regarding energy development.
o Initial report on development of a groundwater pollution monitoring
system for the oil shale process in Colorado.
Initial report on groundwater pollution measurement system in the strip
mine area of the Powder River Basin, principally in Wyoming.

D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 79 program is basically a continuation of FY 78 activities such as:
1. Provide accurate validated ambient baseline data for energy-related
air and water pollutant levels, distributions and surface effects
on a regional scale throughout the Western Energy Resource Develop-
ment Region of the U.S.; develop advanced air, water pollutant
measurement methods, and techniques for measuring pollutants and
effects from new energy technologies; in parallel with this, develop
the required quality assurance procedures. Develop measurement
methods and data base for ambient radionuclides associated with
combustion of various coals.

Development for Energy-Related Pollutants REG. APPRO:
2 Develop indicator .methods for monitoring ground-water pollutants
from oil shale and coal-related sources; develop measurements
quality assurance support program for pollutants associated with
coal development in key areas of the. East (Ohio Valley; Interior
Coal Province).
3 Develop quality assurance standards for measurements associated
with new energy technology development; develop multipollutant
measurement methods for pollutants produced by these energy
technologies.
Initiatives are limited to:
o Development of nitric acid aerosol measurement methods to
support planned research studies.
o Studies of the levels and extent of fine particulate pollution
due to power plant expansion in the West.
79 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
In 1973, two interagency task forces (23 Federal departments and
agencies; were called together by OMB and CEQ to develop programs to
best meet the joint goals of energy development and environmental pro-
tection. One of these, the King-Muir task force, addressed the health
and ecological effects of energy-related pollutants. This, effort led
to the present interagency (11 Federal agencies) Energy Health and
Ecological Effects Program.
The only management alternatives available are: (1) a total EPA
program—this was rejected because of insufficient facilities and
personnel and; (2) dissolution of the pass-through system in favor of
direct appropriation to each agency — this was rejected because-it
would be much more difficult if not impossible to maintain a focused
and coordinated national program.
Major restructuring of the ongoing program to allow initiation of
major new activities under present funding was rejected because of a
desire not to sacrifice two to four years of investment in projects that
are scheduled to be completed with FY 80 funds.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLV. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
o Continue energy-development-related multi-media regional pollutant
baseline measurements in the Four Corners Region of the Southwest,
oil shale areas of Colorado and Utah and the Northern Great Plains.
o Continue unifying air and water quality assurance program to support
state and Federal agencies cooperating in this effort.
o Continue associated remote techniques development for strip-mine
reclamation and water pollution control monitoring and for air
emissions from power plants.
o Continue development of air pollutant measurement methods, chiefly
for fine particulate sulfate, and of water pollutant methods,
chiefly inorganics.
o Continue development of monitoring guidelines for advanced energy
technologies with emphasis on organic emissions.
o Continue development of associated organic standard reference
materials for calibration of water pollution measurement methods.
o Development of measurement methods and data base for radio-
nuclides in the fine particle component of coal combustion
emissions.
Benefits of Funding
Centralized coordination of comprehensive Federal Interagency Energy/Environ-
ment Measurement and Monitoring Program. Provision of timely and adequate
ambient data for decision and policy-making relative to energy resource
development, facility siting, control technology and regulatory requirements.
Implementation of energy-system initiatives without delays caused by inadequate
or insufficient environmental baseline data in key area of U.S. or by lack of
adequate pollution measurement methods.
Consequences of Not Funding
In addition to disrupting the energy-related measurement and monitoring
research programs of several of the participating agencies and possibly
causing a collapse of the "pass-through" approach to interagency coordination,
disapproval of this level would delay for at least two years completion of
many ongoing projects and would curtail or terminate an FY-78 initiated program
to adequately measure organic emissions and ambient levels from conventional
and advanced fossil fuel combustion technologies. Loss of this level will
deprive both environmental and energy policy makers of a defensible quantita-
tive measure of environmental degradation due to western energy development.
There will be no quantitative basis for judging the appropriate balance between
environmental protection and energy development in this relatively pristine
area. Also, EPA will not have developed the needed research and compliance
measurement methods for energy related pollutants due to advanced energy tech-
nologies when those new technologies are demonstrated and commercialized.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
o Continuation of major field study based on the completion of groundwater
measurement methodology development for oil shale and coal strip mining
in Region VIII.
o Air measurement quality assurance program provided to major energy
impacted areas in Regions IV and V. Network which is supported is keyed
to Ohio River energy development and its regional impacts.
o Cooperative water measurements quality assurance program with EPA and
USGS eastern laboratory system.
Q Reconnaisance and water quality baseline studies in the expanding coal
mining region of the midwest (Regions III, IV, V). (Supported by
above watar measurements QA program).
Development of samplers and analytical methods for toxic pollutants
due to coal mining and waste pile leachate.
Benefits of Funding
This level provides concrete, accurate baseline and trend data on key
(energy related) water and groundwacer quality parameters during the
initial major expansion of new energy developments in precisely those
locales where such development is now being planned and/or initiated in the
near term.
The air quality QA project provides a means by which a variety of air '
quality stations which measure ambient conventional pollutants related to
coal combustion in the Ohio Valley can be used to develop an accurate,
geographically broad scaled baseline and trend.- This trend will be key in
assisting the development of a regional control strategy.
1
! Consequences of Not Funding
i
j Lack of baseline and trend data which is acquired by s-tudies directly
related to specific energy developments precludes an adequate assessment
of the impacts of those energy developments on air and water quality in
specific regions. This results in no hard data on which to formulate
and base a reasonable environmental protection policy keyed to specific
•opmcnts, be that from the point of view of standards development or
cement.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
o Continue development of sampling and analytical measurement methods
for air and water pollutants derived from energy technologies, both
expanding conventional and advanced technologies.
o Continue development of standard reference materials required for
calibration and assuring the accuracy of air and water measurement
methods required for pollutants from both expanding conventional and
advanced energy technologies.
Benefits of Funding
This level provides the measurement methods which are the means to detect
and quantify a wide variety of potential hazardous pollutants which are
derived from conventional technology and particularly federally-sponsored
developmental energy technologies such as oil shale, coal gasification, etc,
The standard materials are the only means to assure consistent and compar-
abl-- measurements from one study to another. This enables EPA to be ready
with adequate measurement methods for research, assessment and enforcement
purposes when these energy technologies come on line.
Consequences of Not Funding
EPA will be unable to do research on or assess the threat to public health
posed by a wide variety of energy related pollutants. These pollutants
cannot now be adequately measured. This will result in multi-year delays
in assessing the need for standards for these technologies before they
reach commercial development. Without appropriate calibration materials,
there can be no reliable basis for comparability between different measure-
ments, nor reasonable expectation of accuracy in measurements.

Health Effects of Energy-Related Pollutants REG- APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long-range goal of this interagency research program in health effects
of energy related pollutants is to assure that the health effects research
data (necessary) is developed on a schedule compatible with the development
and use of energy technologies.
The major objectives of the program are: (1) to provide the data base neces-
sary to develop reliable quantitative estimates of the health damage func-
tions (dose-effect relationships) for the occupational, general and
susceptible population groups that are appropriate for use to assess the
health impacts of any specified energy policy and (2) to provide guidance
to the developers of energy technology with regard to appropriate indices
for assessing the need for pollution control.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
*•
Screening
A repository was operated to provide and evaluate 108 samples
from 5 liquefaction processes, 2 coal gasification processes,
3 oil shale operations and A coal combustion facilities.
Samples (110) have been distributed to 22 different investigators.
- A synthetic fuels fracti-jnation and evaluation utilizing the
Ames mutagenic bicassay has indicated an increased biological
activity in the material as compared to conventional sweet crude.
The increased activity appears to be related to the presence of
aza-arenes in the shale oil.
- A symposium on the utility of short-term tests (non-mammalian
and mammalian) for evaluation of biological activity associated
with mixtures was held. It indicated the need for a massive
effort to address questions of accuracy, precision, sensitivity
and reliability of such systems before attempting to interpret
a positive/or negative response in terms of quantitative estimates
of risk.
o Development of more rapid and sensitive screens
- In vitro liver culture systems have been developed and are in the
evaluation stage.
- An assay for sulfitc in plasma has been developed which is
sensitive to 1 nanomole/ml. U2.L J
- Several multi-marker mammalian cell bioassay systems (CHO, SHE,)
have been developed for evaluation of single agents and appear to be
ndnptoble for n.ixtitrcs.

ctivities
nitiate a new five-year interagency prograa in cooperation with NIEHS and
IOSH. The NIEHS program will be a series of long-term tasks to understand
he relationship between exposure to specific energy-related agents and
he following biological end points: mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, teratology,
eproductive sysfunction, behavioral toxicology, neurotoxicology, pulmonary
oxicology and toxicology of specific organs, cells and subcessular components.
n addition, the NIEHS program will attempt to develop an understanding and
.odels of the mechanisms and rates of incorporation, transport, transformation,
ace' and execution of energy-related agents in mammalian systems and to develop
.echniques to estimate the dose-response relationships for low-level exposures
~'' "~~tions of agents from data obtained from animal toxicology, cellular
and human health studies (epidemiology and/or clinical studies).
he KIOSH program will emphasize the epidemiological studies of occupational
•ersonnel in pilot facilities (coal conversion, solar systems). Medical
surveillance and development of work procedures manuals will be a major
;omponent of the NIOSH program.
-nitiate and completely fund the following new starts for EPA:
> Determine the health effects of whole emissions (particulate and gaseous)
from home heating or industrial combustion'systems using both in vivo and
in vitro biological models. Biological end points include pulmonary
morphology.
> Initiate an epidemiological study of the relationship between improvement
in air quality (primarily combustion effluent reduction) and the general
health of the population (the British experience).
> Develop rapid in vivo screens applicable to evaluate the teratologic
potential of energy-related agents ingested.
ienefits of Funding
runding -at this level will provide a marginal effort to develop reliable

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Consequences of Not Funding
Failure to fund at this level will require termination of several of the
long-term animal toxicology and in-vitro screening validation studies
initiated during the previous years of the interagency program. This will
delay acquisition of the health effects data pertaining to the utility of
in-vitro screening and the capability for extrapolation of data obtained
from animal data to provide quantitative estimates of*-health risks.
This will, in turn, prevent providing reliable guidance regarding the
necessary controls for developing energy technologies.

Activities
Initiate new starts as follows:
o Confirmatory studies for in-use Level 1 'bioassay screens to assess •
accuracy, specificity, reliability, sensitivity and precision. For
use in coal- related energy industry.
o Initiate a clinical program to expose human volunteers to NOx and
particulates and to evaluate impact upon pulmonary and cardiovascular
function.
cf Funding
of this level will provide an opportunity to analyze and upgrade
presently available bioassay screens which have a high degree of uncertainty
in interpretation of response as it pertains to husan health. It will also
pernit obtaining of low dose-response relationships to NOx, nitrate and
particulate exposures, thus eliminating the need for extrapolation from animal
toxicology data.
Consequences of Not Funding
Failure tc fund at this level will result in a delay in acquisition of data
necessary to develop .reliable guidance for development of regulations or
control systems.
