National Risk Management Research Laboratory
Mission
The National Risk Management Research
Laboratory (NRMRL) conducts research
into ways to prevent and reduce risks from
pollution that threaten human health and
the environment. The laboratory investigates
methods and their cost-effectiveness for pre-
venting and controlling pollution to air,
land, water, and subsurface resources; pro-
tection of water quality in public water
systems; remediation of contaminated sites,
sediments and ground water; prevention and
control of indoor air pollution; and restora-
tion of ecosystems. The goal of this research
is to promote the development of environ-
mental technologies; develop scientific and
engineering information to support regula-
tory and policy decisions; and provide the
technical support and information transfer
to ensure implementation of environmental
regulations and strategies at the national and
community levels. In addition, NRMRL col-
laborates with private sector partners to
foster technologies to reduce the cost of
compliance and to anticipate emerging prob-
lems.
Research
NRMRL headquarters are in Cincinnati,
Ohio. NRMRL research facilities are in
Cincinnati, Ohio; Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina; Ada, Oklahoma; and
Edison, New Jersey. A Technology Coor-
dination Office for NRMRL is in Washing-
ton, D.C. NRMRL has a staff of 386. Of
these, 251 are scientists and engineers. The
base fiscal year 1997 research budget totals
$52 million. The research program is fo-
cused in six key areas:
• Protection of drinking water
• Control of air pollution
• Pollution prevention and economic
analysis
• Remediation of contaminated media
• Ecosystem protection and restoration
• Technology transfer
Information follows about the focus of
NRMRL's research programs, ongoing and
planned research activities, and the organi-
zation of NRMRL within EPA's Office of
Research and Development.
Protection of Drinking Water
There are nearly 200,000 community water
systems in the U.S. Over 40% of these
communities use ground water as their
source of drinking water. NRMRL research
evaluates technology to meet the require-
ments of the Safe Drinking Water Act and
to provide methods for predicting the move-
ment and fate of contaminants in ground
water.
Current research highlights methods to con-
trol risks in treatment and distribution sys-
tems. Treatment studies assess removal of
contaminants by techniques such as mem-
brane filtration. Studies assess controls for
disease-causing microbes. NRMRL has also
developed a computer model to predict
water quality in complex distribution sys-
tems.
Control of Air Pollution
Air pollution is a high risk to human health
and the environment. NRMRL researchers
evaluate technologies to control sources of
criteria air pollutants, to reduce emissions
of contaminants, to control indoor air pol-
lutants, and to control industrial emissions
of toxic air pollutants.
Researchers predict the formation of chlo-
rinated dioxins from combustion sources.
These findings have led to a patented sor-
bent injection process that limits dioxin
formation.
Working with industrial partners, NRMRL
researchers have found chemicals to replace
ozone-depleting chemicals. Two replace-

ments tested in EPA laboratories are being
considered for use by the Navy in ship-
board chillers.
Pollution Prevention and
Economic Analysis
Pollution prevention research at NRMRL
helps establish methods and tools to use in
pollution prevention technologies. NRMRL
scientists have produced over 24 industry-
specific and generic technology guides.
NRMRL engineers design software to al-
low other engineers to make process
changes that improve environmental per-
formance.
NRMRL researchers have completed case
study evaluations of innovative prevention
technologies for over 75 manufacturing
operations. Research is underway now to
evaluate other innovative approaches, and
develop and apply cost effectiveness meth-
ods and data.
Remediation of Contaminated
Media
NRMRL conducts research to demonstrate
methods for remediating contaminated haz-
ardous waste sites and leaking underground
storage tanks. Scientists are developing
models to assess fate, transport and trans-
formation rates, and mechanisms in unsat-
urated soil profiles and saturated zones.
In situ remediation technologies potentially
represent the" most cost-effective, lowest risk
options for many sites. Scientists use field
studies in bioremediation to examine reme-
diation of nonaqueous phase liquids, reduc-
tive dechlorination of PCBs and other
chlorinated organics, soil bioventing of fuel
spills, and bioreduction of hexavalent chro-
mium in ground water. EPA-holds many of
these demonstrations in collaboration with
Department of Defense installations.
NRMRL cooperates with Monsanto, Gen-
eral Electric, and DuPont in "lasagna tech-
nology." With this technology, the scientists
create layered zones for treatment of con-
taminants in situ. The process promises to
be more cost effective than traditional
methods and may enhance other in situ
methods. Field trials are underway.
The largest component of the remediation
research program is the Superfund Innova-
tive Technology Evaluation Program
(SITE). In this program, technology devel-
opers provide and operate their technolo-
gies at field sites, and EPA pays for an
intensive performance evaluation and re-
ports the results widely. Since the program
began in 1986, innovative technologies at
remediation sites have increased from 25%
to over 50% of the technologies selected.
A recent study of remediation costs at 17
sites where innovative technologies are
being used has shown that the use of SITE-
evaluated technologies has saved nearly
$360 million over conventional remediation
approaches.
NRMRL also conducts research on meth-
ods and technologies to treat contaminated
sediments. Dredged sediments are often
treated as hazardous waste materials; in-
place sediments are treated as part of eco-
system restoration technologies.
Ecosystem Protection and
Restoration
NRMRL conducts research to develop and
demonstrate approaches and technologies to
protect and, as appropriate, restore damaged
ecosystems. Watersheds are the geographi-
cal units chosen for study and priority risk
problems include contaminated sediments,
nonpoint source pollution from wet weather
flows in urban and mixed land use water-
sheds, and regional impacts from cumula-
tive stressors including climate change.
-------
National Risk Management Research Laboratory (continued)
NRMRL scientists and engineers are de-
veloping watershed best management prac-
tices, in situ sediment remediation
technologies, urban storm water manage-
ment approaches, and combined sewer over-
flow treatment and control systems. New
research has been initiated to develop meth-
ods to restore damaged ecosystems with
emphases on riparian zones and constructed
wetlands. Computer models and decision
support systems will be developed to assist
watershed managers and communities with
ecosystem management and restoration
projects.
Technology Transfer
A final NRMRL component is the dissemi-
nation of technical information. Informing
the regulated industry, regulatory and per-
mitting officials, and environmental con-
sultants about the latest advancements in
risk management approaches is vital to the
success of all of EPA's programs.
NRMRL produces technical and nontech-
nical publications, software products, and
technical meetings. Recent projects have
included brochures on bioremediation and
stratospheric ozone depletion; manuals on
water and wastewater treatment for small
communities and on recycling and reuse of
materials found on Superfund sites; and
technical meetings on combined and sani-
tary sewer overflows. These publications
can be ordered by phone (513-569-7562),
fax (513-569-7566), or modem (dial in 513-
569-7610). Additionally, the ORD Internet
Home Page (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/),
linked to the U.S. EPA Home Page
(http://www.epa.gov/) can now be accessed
to get the latest information about ORD and
NRMRL research products.
