SECOND QUARTER 1988 REPORT
PREFACE
This quarterly report reviews Agency progress in meeting its
priority program commitments. The report is a major component of the
Agency Strategic Planning and Management System (SPMS). SPMS provides
a process for the Agency to identify national goals and priorities,
issue timely guidance to the field, identify measures of success and
track progress against them. Each quarter the Office of Management
Systems and Evaluation (OMSE) publishes the report using information
provided by Headquarters, Regional Offices, and State agencies. The
Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations is responsible for
the enforcement section of this report.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of the
many people through the environmental protection management network who
have made timely production of this report possible.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
O EPA AND STATES ARE COMPLETING EMISSIONS INVENTORIES AND DRAFTING
SIPs TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF PARTICULATE POLLUTION. REGIONS AND
STATES MET SECOND QUARTER TARGETS FOR OPERATING CRITICAL MONITORS AT
REQUIRED FREQUENCY AND FOR DESIGNING MONITOR NETWORKS.
o IN THE FIRST HALF, EPA COLLECTED 1987 OZONE AND CO MONITORING DATA
NEEDED TO SUPPORT SIP CALLS BY END OF YEAR. ANALYSIS OF THE DATA
CONTINUES.
o REGIONS FELL BEHIND SECOND QUARTER TARGETS TO ADDRESS DEFICIENCIES
IN SOME INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS TO CONTROL MOBILE SOURCE
POLLUTION.
o THE SULFUR DIOXIDE PROGRAM IS WORKING TO COMPLETE DEFICIENT OR
MISSING SIPs. REGIONS MET MOST SECOND QUARTER TARGETS FOR THIS
WORK.
O OAR PLANS TO PUBLISH GUIDANCE ON MEASUREMENT OF RADON IN SCHOOLS.
DRAFT GUIDANCE AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF RECENT MEASUREMENTS IS
EXPECTED IN FALL 1988.
o THIS IS THE FIRST REPORTING OF POLLUTANT-SPECIFIC INSPECTION
ACTIVITIES FOR FY 1988. THE COMBINED EPA AND STATE COMMITMENTS
REFLECT THE APPLICATION OF THE PROGRAM'S REVISED INSPECTION
FREQUENCY GUIDANCE.

OZONE / CARBON MONOXIDE
NON-ATTAINMENT
o OF 856 NON-ATTAINMENT (N/A) DESIGNATIONS NATIONWIDE, 40% (341) ARE
FOR OZONE AND 15% (127) FOR CARBON MONOXIDE (CO).
o OAR EXPECTS THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POST-1987 OZONE POLICY WILL
CHANGE THE DEFINITION AND THEREFORE THE NUMBER OF N/A AREAS.
IMPLEMENTATION
o IN THE FIRST HALF, EPA RECEIVED, ON AN ACCELERATED SCHEDULE,
MONITORING DATA ABOUT 1987 LEVELS OF AMBIENT OZONE AND CO. THIS
QUARTER CONCLUDES THE COLLECTION EFFORT. THE ANALYZED DATA WILL
SUPPORT REQUESTS FOR STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS (SIP CALLS) FOR
AREAS WHICH MAY BE IN NON-ATTAINMENT. STATES AND REGIONS WILL ALSO
WORK ON EMISSIONS INVENTORIES AND CONTROL STRATEGIES AS THEY DEVELOP
SIPs.
o IN SECOND QUARTER, STATES PROVIDED DATA FROM 226 OZONE MONITORING
SITES AND 124 CO MONITORING SITES, EXCEEDING THE TARGETS OF 222 AND
106 SITES. EPA ALSO RECEIVED DATA IN THE FIRST QUARTER FROM NEARLY
ALL THESE SITES. OAR SPENT PART OF SECOND QUARTER FILLING GAPS IN
INFORMATION AND ASSURING DATA QUALITY.

MOBILE SOURCES PROGRAMS
o IN THE FIRST HALF, REGIONS MISSED SEVERAL TARGETS TO REMEDY
DEFICIENCIES IDENTIFIED IN STATE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE (I/M)
PROGRAMS. TEN PROBLEMS WERE CORRECTED, AGAINST A TARGET OF 13.
REGIONS II, IV, V AND VII MISSED SECOND QUARTER GOALS.
REGIONS VI, VIII AND X MADE SOME FOURTH QUARTER TARGETS EARLY.
o IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1988, REGIONS SURPASSED THEIR TARGET BY PUTTING
5 NEW ANTI-TAMPERING PROGRAMS IN PLACE, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 41
PROGRAMS. IN REGION V, TWO ANTI-TAMPERING PROGRAMS BEGAN IN OHIO;
IN REGION VIII, ONE IN COLORADO; AND IN REGION X, TWO IN NEVADA.
O PROGRAMS TO ASSURE THAT AUTOMOBILES AND TRUCKS CONTINUE TO COMPLY
WITH EMISSION STANDARDS ARE A COMPONENT OF MANY STATE IMPLEMENTATION
PLANS AND ARE REQUIRED IN CERTAIN NON-ATTAINMENT AREAS.
I/M PROGRAMS CONDUCT SYSTEMATIC TESTING AND/OR INSPECTION OF CARS
FOR EMISSIONS LEVELS WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT LOW BY PROPER MAINTENANCE.
ANTI-TAMPERING PROGRAMS WORK EITHER TO PREVENT ALTERATION OF
EMISSIONS CONTROLS ON MOBILE SOURCES, OR TO DETECT TAMPERING.

TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATES (TSP) TO A NEW STANDARD REGULATING ONLY
PARTICULATE MATTER OF DIAMETER LESS THAN 10 MICRONS (PM10)
SIP DEVELOPMENT
O OAR IS DEVELOPING STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS (SIPs) TO CONTROL PM10
IN GROUP I AND II AREAS OF CONCERN. SIP DEVELOPMENT INVOLVES
COMPLETION OF EMISSIONS INVENTORIES, ESTABLISHMENT OF DESIGN VALUES
AND OF CONTROL STRATEGIES, AND SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW OF SIPs.
O IN FY 1988, STATES HAVE COMPLETED 27 PM10 DRAFT EMISSIONS
INVENTORIES FOR GROUP I AREAS, EXCEEDING THE SECOND QUARTER TARGET.
O ONLY REGION VIII HAD SECOND QUARTER TARGETS TO RECEIVE GROUP I DRAFT
SIPs. THE 5 DRAFT SIPs EXPECTED FROM COLORADO ARE HELD UP PENDING
OAQPS REVIEW THAT THE SIP STRATEGY PROVIDES ADEQUATE CONTROL.
o REGION X RECEIVED FIVE GROUP I DRAFT SIPs IN SECOND QUARTER, THOUGH
THE REGION TARGETED NONE. NATIONALLY, REGIONS EXPECT TO RECEIVE 39
DRAFT SIPs BY END OF YEAR.
MONITORING
o EPA AND STATES ARE BUILDING NETWORKS OF PM10 MONITORS REQUIRED AS
PART OF THE SIP EFFORT. SPMS TRACKS THIS WORK IN TWO AREAS:
APPROVING DESIGNS OF NETWORKS, AND ESTABLISHING MONITORS IN CRITICAL
AREAS.
o THIS YEAR, STATES MUST SUBMIT PLANS TO INSTALL NATIONAL (NAMS) AND
STATE AND LOCAL (SLAMS) AIR MONITORING SYSTEMS. SO FAR EPA HAS
APPROVED 4 OF THE 46 NAMS PLANS EVENTUALLY REQUIRED, AND 12 OF THE
54 REQUIRED SLAMS PLANS.
o TO ASSESS PM10 POLLUTION IN PROBLEM AREAS, SOME MONITORS ARE
REQUIRED TO OPERATE AT HIGH FREQUENCY (DAILY OR EVERY OTHER DAY).
NATIONALLY, 113 OF 139 URBANIZED AREAS, 29 OF 41 GROUP I AREAS, AND
36 OF 59 GROUP II AREAS HAVE AT LEAST ONE MONITOR OPERATING AT THE

RADON
THE FY 1988 RADON PROGRAM IS WORKING WITH STATES AND REGIONS TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT RADON AND TO ASSESS THE SEVERITY OF THE
PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
SURVEYS
o IN ADDITION TO TEN 1987 EPA/STATE SURVEYS, EPA/STATE SURVEYS
CONTINUE IN SEVEN STATES AND INDIAN TERRITORIES IN 1988. RESULTS
WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN LATE SUMMER. FOUR STATES THAT PARTICIPATED
IN THE 1987 EPA/STATE SURVEYS WILL COMPLETE FOLLOW-UP SURVEY
ACTIVITIES NEXT QUARTER.
o TEN STATES CONTINUE INDEPENDENT RADON SURVEYS. IN ADDITION, LOCAL
AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS AS WELL AS OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES AND
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUE TO CONDUCT RADON SURVEYS.
o ELEVEN STATES CONDUCTED RADON SURVEYS IN SCHOOLS DURING THE LAST TWO
QUARTERS. SEVERAL MORE ARE PLANNING SURVEYS IN SCHOOLS THIS SUMMER.
EPA WILL ISSUE INTERIM GUIDANCE IN THE FALL FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF
RADON IN SCHOOLS.
o RESULTS OF SURVEYS (EPA, STATE OR PRIVATE SECTOR) VARY WIDELY.
EXAMPLES: A PRIVATE SECTOR SURVEY IN INDIANA FOUND THAT IN 65% OF
1000 STRUCTURES SURVEYED, RADON LEVELS EXCEEDED 4 PICOCURIES PER
LITER (pCi/L) OF AIR. AN INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE SURVEY OF 100
HOMES ON A RESERVATION IN REGION VII, FOUND 25% OF THE
MEASUREMENTS EXCEEDED 4 pCi/L. A MONTANA SURVEY OF 4 SCHOOLS
FOUND NONE THAT EXCEEDED 4 pCi/L.
OTHER RADON ACTIVITIES
O EPA AND STATES CONTINUE TO REPORT HIGH PUBLIC INTEREST. STATES AND
REGIONS RESPOND TO NUMEROUS PHONE INQUIRIES, AND EPA HAS DISTRIBUTED
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COPIES OF RADON LITERATURE.
o EPA TRAINING ACTIVITIES CONTINUE. THE RADON AND MITIGATION TRAINING
COURSE WILL BE UPDATED AND PRESENTED EIGHT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY THIS YEAR. ELEVEN STATES MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE FY 1988
HOUSE EVALUATION PROGRAM.
o 1,100 COMPANIES HAVE APPLIED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RADON MEASUREMENT
PROFICIENCY PROGRAM; RESULTS ARE EXPECTED IN FALL 1988.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
THE REGIONS AND THE STATES SHOW GOOD PERFORMANCE AGAINST TARGETS.
FOR NON-ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES, 17 OF 29 TARGETS WERE MET OR EXCEEDED.
o MAJOR SUCCESSES WERE IN THE UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL (UIC),
GROUNDWATER, PRETREATMENT, NATIONAL MUNICIPAL POLICY, CONSTRUCTION
GRANTS, STATE TOXICS CONTROL, AND WETLANDS PROGRAMS.
- THE UIC PROGRAM MET SIX OF SEVEN TARGETS.
- THE GROUNDWATER PROGRAM IS REPORTED HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND
31 SOLE SOURCE AQUIFERS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED SO FAR.
- THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM MET OR EXCEEDED FIVE OF SIX TARGETS.
- THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL POLICY PROGRAM IS PROCEEDING WELL TOWARD
MEETING THE JULY 1, 1988 DEADLINE.
- CONSTRUCTION GRANTS NET OUTLAYS WERE 99.1% OF THEIR SPENDING
TARGET, AND STATES HAVE INCREASED ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLETIONS OF
THEIR BACKLOGGED PROJECTS.
- STATES HAVE STARTED SUBMITTING ADEQUATE NONPOINT SOURCE CONTROL
PROGRAMS, AND FIVE STATES HAVE COMPLETED ACTION PLANS IN THEIR
TOXIC CONTROL PROGRAMS FOR SURFACE WATERS.
- THE WETLANDS PROGRAM CONTINUES TO REPORT ACRES AT RISK WHERE LOSS
AVOIDED, AND THE TWO TARGETS FOR ADVANCE IDENTIFICATION WERE MET.
O THERE WERE SHORTFALLS IN THE OCEAN DUMPING AND NPDES PROGRAMS.
- IN OCEAN DUMPING, THREE OF FOUR TARGETS WERE MISSED; THE NEPA
PROCESS TAKES TIME AND IS OFTEN LITIGATED.
- THE NPDES PROGRAM MISSED THREE OF FOUR TARGETS, HOWEVER EPA AND
THE STATES BOTH INCLUDED WQA TOXIC LIMITS IN MOST PERMITS.
FOR ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES, ALL THREE TARGETS (IN THE UIC AND NPDES
PROGRAMS) WERE EXCEEDED.
- THERE WAS A LARGE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF UIC WELLS FOUND IN
SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIANCE SINCE LAST QUARTER.
- NPDES REFERRALS BY STATES TO STATE AGs IS UP SIGNIFICANTLY.
