WATER QUALITY MEDIA OVERVIEW
I. OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
In passing the Clean Water Act of 1977, which serves as "mid-
course corrections" to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972
(P.L. 92-500), Congress reaffirmed the clean water goal established
in 1972: "... to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and
biological integrity of the Nation's waters." The Clean Water Act
preserves the basic structure of the 1972 Act, which calls for re-
liance on uniform technology-based effluent limitations for control
of industrial and municipal point sources of water pollution; increased
Federal funding for construction of publicly owned treatment works;
establishment of a national permit system for all point source
dischargers as the means for enforcement; and funding for the
development of comprehensive Water Quality Management plans at the
State and local level to solve point and nonpoint source water
pollution problems.
Although the objectives and basic structure of P.L. 92-500
remain unchanged, the Clean Water Act of 1977 added significant new
emphases to the National Water Quality Program. The new Act stresses
control of toxic water pollutants from industrial sources. A large
number of amendments to the Title II construction grants program
created incentives for the use of innovative and alternative technol-
ogies in municipal treatment systems; established funding for States
to assist them in managing construction grants programs; made special
considerations for the needs of small communities; and re-emphasized
water reuse, recycling, and confined disposal of pollutants to pre-
vent their migration to cause water or other environmental pollution.
The new Act also significantly changed dredge and fill program to
establish State permit programs in traditionally non-navigable waters
and EPA review and approval of State permits and programs.
The changes made by the Clean Water Act of 1977 form the basis
for the major thrusts of the 1980 water quality program. These thrusts
are as follows:
reorientation from conventional to toxic pollutants;
emphasis of environmental as opposed to public works,
nature of the construction grants program;
delegation of management functions to the States and
emphasis on the water quality management program;
protection of wetlands through the dredge and fill
program; and
continued emphasis on firm and fair enforcement of the
law.
0002
-------
Reorientation to Toxics
EPA1s water quality program has been undergoing and continues to
undergo a reorientation from conventional to toxic pollutant control.
Threats to public health and aquatic ecosystems from toxic pollutants
have become an ever-increasing concern over the past several years. The
1977 National Water Quality Inventory report to Congress shows that
almost half of the drainage basins in the country are affected by toxic
pollutants from point source dischargers. An equally large number are
affected by toxics from nonpoint sources, including pesticides from
agricultural sources and heavy metals from urban stormwater and mining
sources.
In 1980, the water quality program will focus on continued
support of industrial point source and nonpoint source control and will
begin an emphasis on identification and control of toxic discharges from
publicly owned treatment works (POTW's).
At the same time, the water pollution problems from conventional
pollutants have not ended. Despite many noted improvements, over half
of the country's basins are affected by excess suspended solids, bac-
teria, and oxygen-demanding loads. Attention to these pollutants in the
industrial and particularly in the municipal sectors must continue in
order to keep them under control. The reorientation to toxics is driven
by our recognition of the potential magnitude of the toxics problem and
of the lack of knowledge concerning effects, treatment technologies, and
analytical methodologies relative to those for conventional pollutants.
EPA's program to control toxic pollutants consists of a number
of key elements. These include effluent guidelines for industrial point
sources, pretreatment for industrial users of publicly owned treatment
works (POTW's), study of sources of toxics in POTW's, monitoring, oil
and hazardous substance controls, nonpoint source controls via the Water
Quality Management program, NPDES permitting, enforcement, and research
and development.
Activities to implement the effluent guidelines portion of the
1976 Settlement Agreement between EPA and the Natural Resources Defense
Council et. al. to establish national effluent limitations for toxic
pollutants from 21 major industrial sources should peak in 1980. That
level of activity is expected to continue into 1981, with final promul-
gations and court defenses. Our current schedules call for a majority
of proposals and promulgations of best available technology (BAT) guide-
lines for existing direct dischargers, new source performance standards
for new direct dischargers, and pretreatment standards for new and
existing dischargers to POTW's for the 21 industrial categories, ad-
dressing 65 classes of toxic materials, to take place in 1980. Deter-
mining the presence or absence of the 65 classes of toxic materials
requires EPA to conduct rigorous sampling, analytical, and verification
programs and indepth economic analyses to ensure that the regulations
are economically achievable and equitable.
0003
-------
The Settlement Agreement also provides for EPA to develop a
specific and substantial program to determine whether controls in
addition to and beyond BAT are necessary to meet the water quality
goals of the Clean Water Act. In 1978-1979, EPA initiated pollutant-
by-pollutant and specific geographic studies to determine what
additional controls are necessary beyond BAT. Pollutant studies
will focus on distribution of environmental pollutants and exposure/
risk assessments. "Hot-spot" studies will focus on those areas
of intense industrialization where monitoring data indicate poten-
tial water quality problems after application of BAT. These studies
are to be expanded in 1980-81. The studies will lead to the
development and implementation of additional controls, where neces-
sary, using such authorities as water quality standards, Section
302 of the Clean Water Act, and hazardous substances control under
Section 311. Efforts also will begin in 1979 and continue into 1980
to identify other toxic effluents that should be addressed in effluent
guidelines and to determine the relevant industrial categories for
which regulations should be developed.
A number of wastewater treatment technologies result in the
generation of sludge which contains large concentrated amounts of the
toxic pollutants that had been in the wastewater. EPA recognizes
that removing toxic pollutants from water, only to have them con-
taminate sludge and then reenter the water through leaching, is an
unacceptable approach to solving environmental problems. The Agency
also recognizes that with the passage of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), generators of hazardous sludges will incur
costs of disposing of those sludges. For these reasons, EPA is
attempting to coordinate standard setting for BAT and RCRA's Sub-
title C standards. Data collection from effluent guidelines studies
on sludge generation and disposal practices will be used to help
refine sludge disposal regulations under RCRA. Estimates of the
costs and economic impacts of compliance with RCRA will be considered
in setting BAT standards in order to identify and avoid situations
of serious economic impact due to cumulative regulatory costs.
This attempt to address ultimate disposal questions in stan-
dard setting is based on the realization that certain pollutants,
because of their toxicity, persistence, and difficulty to treat or
confine, should not be released to the environment through water,
solid waste, or air. As a result, the Agency is focusing on reuse
and recycling systems as a means to keep large amounts of these
toxic pollutants from reaching the environment. Substantial R&D
funds will be devoted to identification and development of reuse/
recycle technologies and increased emphasis will be given to
reliance on resue and recycle technology in setting BAT standards.
Reuse/recycle systems have the additional benefit of conserving
raw materials and usually result in both water and energy conserva-
tion as well.
-------
An important change is taking place in EPA's monitoring pro-
gram with the reorientation from conventional to toxic pollutants.
Because of the complex technical problems associated with monitoring
toxic pollutants, EPA will be stressing quality assurance/quality
control programs to ensure that EPA and State laboratories are taking
samples, analyzing them, and storing the data properly. In FY 1979,
a savings of 28 regional positions was achieved through expanded use
of contracting for laboratory analysis. With the expanding workload
by EPA, States, and contractors to provide data for "hot spot" analy-
ses and environmental exposure/risk determinations, as well as to
support State/EPA agreements, it is becoming increasingly critical
for EPA to maintain quality control over all phases of the data
collection and analysis process. An additional 14 positions are
required by the regions in 1980 to assure a minimum level of quality
control reviews and coordinate toxics monitoring efforts. The national
monitoring program is critical not only for insuring defensible data
in support of the Settlement Agreement, but also for providing feed-
back on how well pollutant control programs are working and for
developing the data to support State/EPA Agreements in establishing
priorities for standard setting and other control programs.
Because of the large amounts of toxics discharged by POTW's,
EPA will initiate an extensive study in 1979 on the sources of toxic
pollutants in POTW's. The study is addressing five strategy develop-
ment questions: 1) what levels of toxic pollutants are typically
found in POTW effluents and how do these levels vary with the degree
of industrialization; 2) what are the treatability and removability
characteristics of different treatment systems; 3) what are the
resultant sludge contamination levels for varying types of systems
and influent concentrations; 4) what are the sources of toxic pollut-
ants which enter POTWs; 5) what regulatory authorities can be used in
solving the municipal toxic pollutant problem, and how can these
authorities be most effectively mobilized? The data collection and
determination of appropriate regulatory authorities will extend
well into 1980. Based upon the data, EPA will answer such questions
as what adjustments, if any, should be made in the Agency's pretreat-
ment strategy, what are the impacts on sludge disposal, and should
the 1983 POTW effluent limitations-best practicable waste treatment
technology (BPWTT)-be revised to include specific toxic pollutant
limitations.
0005
-------
Toxic pollutants are discharged non-routinely by spills,
leaks, and other similar occurrences. EPA's spill prevention and
response program will be used to implement the provisions of
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act on oil and hazardous substance
liability. The goal of the program is to prevent spills and miti-
gate those spills and other non-routine discharges which cannot
be prevented. In 1980, increases in the program will be used to
accelerate implementation of hazardous substances regulations, to
allow EPA to respond to all major toxics, oil, and hazardous sub-
stances spills, and to institute and maintain a regional disaster
assistance response program.
The permit program in 1980 will also substantially increase its
emphasis on control of toxics by issuing BAT permits to industrial
dischargers in the 21 industrial categories in the Settlement Agreement
to reflect toxics BAT guidelines and by incorporating pretreatment
requirements in municipal permits to control indirect discharges of
toxic pollutants. Resources will be devoted to the pretreatment
program to continue local program assistance activities, approve
local programs, consider requests for modification of pretreatment
standards, and modify municipal permits to incorporate pretreatment
requirements. Toxic and hazardous materials enforcement will be
pursued through enforcing reissued permits, bioassay inspections,
pretreatment requirements, Section 404 requirements, and Section 311
hazardous substances requirements enforcement.
EPA's research and development activities in reorienting from
conventional toxic pollutants fall into three categories: health
and ecological effects, industrial research, and monitoring. R&D
activities have been planned in 1980 to meet the immediate and
projected needs of the Agency's abatement and control and enforce-
ment programs.
Health and ecological research is designed to: (1) determine
the health and ecological effects of selected pollutants likely to
enter the nation's waters; (2) determine the health and ecological
risks of existing or emerging methods for treating or disposing of
wastewaters and associated sludges, including ocean discharge or
disposal, land application, and renovation of wastewaters for potable
or industrial reuse; (3) develop quality criteria for protecting
the integrity of freshwater and marine ecosystems, including asso-
ciated wetlands; (4) develop more efficient methods for assessing
the toxicity of wastes; (5) determineCte movement, transformation,
and fate of toxics in aquatic ecosystems, including the role of
sediments in these processes and the rates and character of bioaccumu-
lation in the food chain; and (6) determine the effects of and
criteria for control of specific pollution sources such as dredging
and associated activities and discharges from nonpoint sources.
0006
-------
Industrial research includes: (1) engineering analysis and
special industrial problem solving in support of Agency regulatory and
permitting activities; (2) development of "best management practices"
for industrial pollution not readily controlled by effluent limitation;
(3) development of control technologies for spills; (4) initiation of a
major effort to demonstrate industrial recycle/reuse technologies; and
(5) evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of and development of methods
for selecting agricultural best management practices.
The monitoring and technical support program includes: (1)
development of specific and broad spectrum methods for identifying and
measuring pollutants in ambient waters, wastewaters, sediments, and
sludges, with current emphasis on toxic substances; (2) determination of
reference methods for regulated pollutants; (3) provision of quality
assurance services for Agency programs requiring collection and analysis
of data on pollutants in ambient or wastewaters; (4) development and
evaluation of sampling and monitoring systems; and (5) technical support
to Agency spill and emergency response activities through aerial and
remote sensing and data interpretation.
Construction Grants
Municipal point source control activities are primarily the
responsibility of the waste treatment facility construction program.
Since the 1972 Amendments were enacted, this program has awarded grants
of $20 billion to municipalities to plan, design, and construct treat-
ment works to meet effluent requirements. The Clean Water Act of 1977
authorized additional funds of $4.5 billion in 1978 and $5 billion
dollars each year through 1982. New funding under this authorization
for 1979 is expected to be $4.2 billion. The goal of this program is to
eliminate the municipal discharge of untreated or inadequately treated
pollutants and thereby help restore or maintain the quality of the
Nation's waters and protect the health and well being of our citizens.
There are three major objectives associated with this goal:
To achieve the most cost-effective, environmentally
sound (emphasizing water reuse, innovative and al-
ternative treatment, and water and energy conserva-
tion) , and timely abatement of municipal pollution
through proper planning, design, and construction
of treatment works;
To protect the fiscal and technical integrity of the
program through sound management and close project
oversight; and
To encourage maximum State participation in program
administration through delegation of Federal activi-
ties under Section 205(g) of the Clean Water Act.
OOOT
-------
The construction grants program in 1979 and 1980 is in a
transition phase that will lead to major changes in the way the
program has been operating. A period of adjustment, which includes
a lower level of new grant activity, seems advisable while the
Agency implements the many changes that have occurred over the
last year and begins to implement delegation of the program to the
States on a significant scale. The most significant changes since
1977 include: (a) the new legislative mandates under the Clean
Water Act discussed earlier, (b) the use of the Corps of Engineers
for construction grants management, (c) the major Agency emphasis
on State delegation, (d) the renewed push for integration of the
grants program into an overall Agency environmental effort, (e)
the new Congressional requirement for closer scrutiny of advanced
waste treatment (AWT) projects, and (f) the need for close fiscal
and environmental management of projects throughout the grants
process.
The overall importance of providing quality evaluation and
project management in the grants program is accentuated by these
many new thrusts. Specific activities added to the program's total
workload to meet these objectives include giving preferential treat-
ment to alternative and innovative treatment technology and related
reuse and reclamation projects; establishing flow reduction policies;
encouraging smaller, less capital intensive solutions; setting goals
for minority enterprise; providing major public participation op-
portunities; and establishing a long term mechanism for Federal and
State program management.
The Agency has just begun to require a careful review of all
projects for treatment more stringent than secondary treatment prior
to funding for construction. Guidance now in preparation would
mandate an especially intensive review of projects involving higher
levels of treatment and projects found expensive compared to local
income. These reviews will ensure that higher levels of treatment
are funded only where essential to enhance or protect water quality.
Resulting revisions to required treatment levels should result in
substantial savings in capital and operation and maintenance costs.
The 1980 budget request contains $4.0 billion for new obli-
gational authority and includes a legislative amendment to extend
by one year the reallotment dates for all funds authorized in the
Clean Water Act for 1978 to 1982, thereby allowing the States three
years to use the funds.
This change in the allotment period will allow States and
EPA sufficient time to use the funds for the highest priority pro-
jects and to ensure that the activities and thrusts outlined above
are accomplished.
0008
-------
EPA is now pursuing a number of options to reduce EPA's direct
resource requirements. The most promising option is for State dele-
gation. By 1980, EPA intends to have many Step 2 and 3 activities
delegated to either the State or the Corps of Engineers. By 1981
and 1982, most of the direct program operations (including Step 1
review) will be delegated to those States having the interest and
capability to assume such functions.
The year 1980 will mark the initiation of a comprehensive
municipal enforcement strategy. The enforcement strategy will help
to ensure the realization of the environmental benefits that can
be derived from construction grant funds.
Research to support the construction grants program is directed
at the management of municipal or community sources of water pollution,
including: (1) development of protocols for urban wastewater effluent
sampling to support the POTW toxics study, cited above, and develop-
ment of technical alternatives for toxics control; (2) specific techni-
cal support for the innovative and alternative technology provisions
of the construction grants program, including guidelines for and
assistance in evaluating candidate technologies and selected projects;
(3) development and assessment of selected wastewater treatment and
sludge management technologies, including soil treatment; (4) develop-
ment and assessment of small flows systems; (5) evaluation of conser-
vation, renovation, and reuse alternatives; (6) development and assess-
ment of systems for managing wet weather discharges, and (7) optimization
of existing treatment technologies for efficiency, reliability, and
economy.
Delegation
Through passage of the Clean Water Act, Congress made clear
its intent that States are to play a major role in environmental
programs. Section 101(b) of the Clean Water Act states:
"It is the policy of Congress to recognize, preserve, and
protect the primary responsibilities of States to prevent,
reduce, and eliminate pollution, to plan the development
and use (including restoration, preservation, and enhance-
ment) of land and water..."
A major example of this policy is the State management assist-
ance provision of Section 205(g) which authorizes the use of 2% or
$400,000, whichever is greater, of each allotment to cover the cost
of delegating the construction grants program and, to the extent these
funds suffice, the NPDES permit, dredge and fill, and Section 208 water
quality management programs to the States. The 1979/80 strategy is
to concentrate first on construction grants delegations. EPA wants
0009
-------
to delegate responsibilities for the construction grants program to
the States as rapidly as possible. Very stringent review procedures
are necessary, however, in order to assure that the States have the
expertise necessary to administer the program effectively. EPA is,
nevertheless, processing the applications that have been submitted
as quickly as possible. To date, two States have assumed responsi-
bilities for the construction grants program: California and
Illinois. Four other States will probably assume the program by
October 1, 1978, although there seems to be some problem with ade-
quate staffing at the State level. EPA plans to award an initial
grant to 20 additional States during 1979 and 13 additional States
during 1980. Therefore, by the end of 1980, a potential total of
39 States will have received funding under Section 205(g) and begun
the process of accepting the delegation of a substantial portion of
the construction grants program.
EPA will encourage the delegation of management functions
to States wherever the States show interest and have adequate capa-
bility to perform the management functions. The delegation of
responsibilities will be spelled out each year in State/EPA Agreements.
Water Quality Management
The year 1980 will mark the start of a new era in planning,
implementing and managing environmental programs at the regional
and State levels. Beginning in 1980, State/EPA Agreements will pre-
sent consolidated approaches to solving water supply, solid waste, and
water pollution control problems. The integration of these program
areas will be a major step toward the objective of overall environ-
mental planning and management versus an approach which tries to
solve interrelated environmental problems in a piecemeal fashion,
program by program. After 1980, additional areas such as air
pollution and toxic chemicals control may be phased into State/EPA
Agreements, leading toward still further comprehensive environmental
management.
The process of integrated management was initiated in 1979
when EPA required all regions and States to develop comprehensive
State/EPA Agreements to cover Clean Water Act programs, including
consolidation of sections 106, 205(g), 208, 303, and the clean lakes
provision of Section 314.
State/EPA Agreements will be the result of a two-way negotia-
tion process between each State and its corresponding EPA region.
The Agreements will describe activities that States and EPA will
undertake during the coming year to solve environmental problems, as
well as the sources and amounts of funds they will apply to those
activities. An agreement will be the result of an assessment of
what environmental problems face an individual State, development of
a long term (five-year) strategy to solve those problems and to
OOJ.O acn^eve environmental objectives, and a determination of necessary
steps to take during the next year.
-------
The State/EPA Agreement will be a decision document which
reflects important decisions on environmental and programmatic
problems, State and EPA priorities, timing, responsibilities, and
allocation of funds. It will be a management tool which focuses
attention on the evaluation and accomplishment of major environ-
mental objectives. Finally, it will be a communication and
information document useful to local governments, area-wide agen-
cies, and the public.
The Water Quality Management (WQM) portion of 1980 State/
EPA Agreements will continue the major new thrust begun in 1979
and outlined in EPA's multi-year program and funding strategy for
WQM. The strategy establishes priorities and funding needs,
promotes consolidation of programs, and emphasizes State manage-
ment and plan Implementation. Consolidation and integration are
occurring through State/EPA Agreements as described above. Imple-
mentation will be a major focus in 1980. Planning funds should
result in specific planning outputs which can solve priority water
pollution problems at the State and areawide levels. Therefore,
beginning in 1980, continuing planning grants will be awarded only
to those agencies that have developed specific, implementable
planning outputs and that have demonstrated the capability to implement
their plans to solve water pollution problems. During 1980, agencies
will continue priority source activities for urban runoff, pretreat-
ment, and AWT begun in 1978 and 1979, and they will initiate a
comprehensive nonpoint source thrust which focuses on toxic pol-
lutants with new efforts for rural runoff and water conservation/
reuse. Other localized priority activities may be funded in 1979
and 1980 if funds are available after meeting higher priorities and
State/EPA Agreements.
Major emphasis in the rural areas will be placed on agri-
cultural control programs. Agricultural activities are major
contributors to nonpoint source pollution. It is estimated that
over 50% of the sediment loading is a result of agricultural
activities. Animal waste, salts in irrigation return flow, and
poor water management also adversely affect water quality in many
areas. EPA and USDA Rural Clean Water Program resources will be
utilized to control programs in selected priority problem areas.
By 1980, WQM plans will have identified all significant areas,
with best management practicies being established in 60 to 80
projects.
Water conservation and reuse activities will be significant
elements in the agricultural, urban runoff, and facility planning
phases in both the continuing planning and implementation of the
208 water quality management program in 1980. In the Rural Clean
0011
-------
Water Program, which addresses irrigated agricultural nonpoint source
pollution, problems, better water management will result in an estimated
25-30% reduction in water consumption. Fifty percent of the $1 million
in Section 304(k) funds proposed in this budget will be utilized to
implement irrigated agriculture water pollution control programs in
priority areas. It is estimated that irrigation management services can
be provided on an additional 100,000 acres. In the urban runoff pro-
jects, best management practices will result in less overland flow and
add to groundwater infiltration and groundwater storage. Facility
planning will include options for land treatment where feasible. Land
treatment will result in water conservation through reuse for irriga-
tion, agricultural, and public (e.g. parks and roadsides) uses.
Stormwater runoff from urban areas is emerging as a major source
of pollution. It is estimated that 90 to 100 urban areas will require
an urban stormwater quality management program if water quality goals
are to be met. In view of the need for more information, the program
needs to be focused on and intensified in a relatively few areas.
Between 20 and 30 urban areas will be evaluated between 1978-80 in order
to demonstrate transferability and the need to cover a wide range of
climatic and hydrologic regimes. Results will provide for development
of required control programs and alternative solutions to more costly
waste treatment facility controls.
EPA's strategy for pretreatment emphasizes establishing local
pretreatment programs by 1983 for all major POTW's larger than 5 million
gallons per day. Approximately 95% of these major POTW's will be elig-
ible for 201 funding for pretreatment program development. For those
relatively few major urban POTW's that are not eligible for 201 funding,
208 funding for 1979 will be made available and targeted to situations
requiring a multi-jurisdicitonal approach to solving complex pretreat-
ment issues such as toxics control. Section 208 funding in 1979 will
also support the development of approximately 30 pretreatment programs
for major POTW's. EPA also is using the WQM process to accomplish
selected advanced waste treatment (AWT) facility plan development which:
1) evaluates the water quality analyses that have been used to justify
AWT, 2) evaluates the cost and effectiveness of AWT relative to alterna-
tive methods for achieving water quality goals, and 3) establishes
appropriate water quality related effluent limitations by developing
either a sound and well-documented AWT justification or an Implementable
plan for meeting water quality standards without AWT. These AWT efforts
are being directed at those situations involving significant environ-
mental issues and large potential construction grants costs. Less
significant AWT projects will be evaluated through the ongoing 201
facility planning process. Results which will allow EPA and the States
to make cost effective AWT decisions will start to be available in 1980
and continue through 1983; these decisions will continue to be coor-
dinated through the WQM process.

Protection of Wetlands Through the Dredge and Fill Program
The increasing legislative attention to hydrologic modifica-
tions through the regulatory vehicle of 404 permits parallels signif-
icant improvements in our understanding of the valuable functions of
aquatic resources, especially wetlands and shallow water areas.
Work in the last two decades, much of it even in the short period
since the passage of the 1972 Act, has given us a perspective on
these functions which greatly surpasses our earlier recognition of
their value as habitat for fish and wildlife. Even in this latter
area, new information has revealed the critical role played by
wetlands and shallow-water systems as spawning and maturation areas
for fish and shellfish species which comprise a substantial propor-
tion of our North Atlantic and Pacific fisheries resources. These
systems also function as integral components of larger ecosystems,
not necessarily themselves aquatic, by providing breeding, resting,
food, or water needs to a great variety of living creatures.
Beyond these more traditional values, however, we now know
that such systems also provide:
flood protection to downstream areas through their
buffering capacity, in essence, functioning as giant
sponges;
protection of beach, other coastal land, and structures
through absorption of normal wave energy; and
« water quality benefits through the absorption of nu-
trients and the uptake and sequestering of some toxic
pollutants.
Against this background of growing knowledge, however, is a
dramatically and continuously declining national inventory of such
aquatic resources. Virtually every day brings the destruction of
yet more wetlands acreage, shallows, mudflats, streams, and even
rivers through the drainage or filling of these areas for industrial,
residential, or recreational use. The disposal of sediments, often
with toxic constituents, from maintenance dredging of navigable
rivers and harbors adds to this toll. Some scientists estimate that
perhaps as much as 80% of our pre-settlement coastal wetlands have
disappeared, and no one really knows the status of the less-studied
inland areas.
Since the United States has no comprehensive wetlands pro-
tection law, and since State and local laws in this area are
generally weak or lacking, the major burden of conserving our
remaining resources falls on Section 404. The regulatory reach
f)i'^ Q
Jo. o
-------
of Section 404 falls short of all threats to wetland and other
aquatic areas, but it does provide the principal protective tool
and may underpin other non-Federal authorities. EPA shares the
responsibility for implementing Section 404 with the US Army
Corps of Engineers, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and, in the
future, with the States.
Under the 1977 Act, the Corps will continue to permit dredge
and fill material discharge in the traditionally navigable waters.
States may assume the permit responsibility in other waters if they
are qualified in terms of the criteria specified in the new Act.
EPA's role in this process is large and includes responsibility for
issuing regulations establishing State program approval criteria,
reviewing and acting upon applications from States and providing
continuing oversight for both States and the Corps permit programs.
EPA must also develop a new dredge and fill material program under
the authority of Section 208(b)(4)(B) which similarly necessitates
issuing new regulations, reviewing and acting on State program
submissions, and reviewing State submitted Best Management Prac-
tices. EPA will continue to play a major and increasing role in
the complex scientific and political decisionmaking surrounding
major permits. This job of coordination and arbitration has become
even more complex due to the inclusion in the 1977 Act of a number of
exclusions and exemptions.
1980 will see an increase in 404 activity for EPA as the
Agency (1) attempts to provide a responsible degree of substantive
review on at least the most significant environmental permits,
whether issued by the Corps or the States, and (2) responds to
the variety of new program development requirements or needs mandated
by the 1977 Amendments. Supporting this direct expenditure of re-
sources, EPA must expand its investment in public education and
awareness, technical training, and research and development.
Underlying the resource needs to support these activities
is a sense of urgency greater than and different from the problems
of the control of industrial and municipal discharge. Unlike the
effects of those activities that alter the chemistry of streams and
lakes but which are generally, if painfully, reversible, the de-
struction of a wetland or other aquatic areas through filling is
irreversible.
Firm and Fair Enforcement of the Law
Firm and fair enforcement of the law will continue in 1980.
The first focus during 1980 will be to complete litigation already
initiated against major dischargers violating the July 1, 1977 treat-
ment deadlines. Emphasis will then shift in part to assuring that
001«*
-------
treatment facilities constructed as a result of the first phase
of permits are operated to meet effluent limitations established
in permits. Management improvements will take place during this
period, as newly developed, more efficient, and more effective
methods of compliance monitoring come into use. The permit pro-
gram will clear the way for enforcement by issuing or reissuing
permits to major dischargers to assure that no major permits
lapse and by ensuring that major permits are finally effective
and enforceable through resolution of adjudicatory hearings.
II. RANKING CRITERIA AND PRIORITIES
Several priority considerations were used to develop the
FY 1980 Abatement and Control request.
The first major concern was for continued reorientation
from conventional to toxic pollutant control efforts. The emphasis
begun in FY 1978-1979 on industrial point sources is expanded
in response to the 1977 Amendments in an effort to provide better
coordination with other media programs. A toxic pollutant effort
begun in FY 1979 for municipal point sources is expanded signifi-
cantly, and toxic pollutant concerns in the nonpoint source area
are continued.
A second major goal was to maximize the environmental versus
public works nature of the construction grants program, with in-
creased emphasis on innovation and water conservation/reuse. The
importance of further delegation of management functions in the
construction grants program also played a key role in the ranking
process.
A third major objective was to continue and expand the
consolidation of planning and management efforts which began in
FY 1979. This effort places heavy emphasis on the State/EPA
Agreement as a management tool. An FY 1980 goal is to have State/
EPA Agreements meet minimum guidance requirements in all States
and in-depth guidance in at least 30 States. The program coverage
of the agreements for FY 1980 is expanded to cover as a minimum
all programs under the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
A final priority was to begin the expansion of the Dredge
and Fill program to meet the minimum requirements of the Act.
Primary emphasis was placed on approval of State permit programs
and review of major permits issued by the Corps of Engineers or by
States.
0015
-------
Priorities in the Enforcement request was tailored around
the program priorities expressed above, with particular attention
to the timing of workloads in specific areas. Special attention
had to be given to numerous special requirements spelled out in
the 1977 Amendments and to the development of minimum level pre-
treatment programs in each region.
Priorities in developing the Research and Development re-
quest emphasized data analysis, analytical methods and monitoring
techniques for toxic pollutants, development of recycle and reuse
technologies, and support for specific program needs, including
ocean outfall variances, dredge and fill impact evaluation and
testing methods, and oil and hazardous materials spill response.
III. 1980 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The proposed 1980 effluent guidelines program includes an
increase to allow complete development of defensible BAT regulations
required by the Consent Decree; identification, by specific pollutant
and geographic "hot spot" area, of potentially toxic pollutants not
covered by BAT; development of control methods for toxics and identi-
fication of best management practices for the industrial handling
of toxic substances; and increased quality control of toxics data.
The construction grants increase provides upgraded support from the
Corps of Engineers, additional EIS preparation, and review of Sec-
tion 301(h) marine discharge permit modifications. The requested
increase in the water quality management program will strengthen the
regional programs, with emphasis on negotiation of State/EPA Agree-
ments and on oversight of management agency designations and section
106 programs. Greater quality control of toxics sampling data
generated by States, contractors, and other Federal agencies will
be possible with a small increase in the abatement and control
monitoring positions. A modest increase will provide new and re-
placement laboratory equipment for the regional toxics monitoring
laboratories. An increase in the dredge and fill program allows
EPA review and comment on State issued permits. The spill preven-
tion and response request responds to accelerated implementation
of hazardous substances regulations. A new program provides an
increase in the transfer of funds to other Federal agencies to
assist in implementing approved Section 208 plans.
The Enforcement increases are to assist in developing local
pretreatment programs and to provide for enforcement of municipal
permittees which have not qualified for construction grant funding.
0016
-------
In Research and Development, highest priority has been
assigned to: supporting the Agency's efforts in the health
aspects of municipal wastewater and sludge control; supporting
and implementing the Agency's innovative and alternatives pro-
gram; and assessing, investigating, developing, and demonstrating
recycle/reuse techniques for wastewaters and pollutants. Efforts
will also be devoted to providing analytical reference methods,
sampling procedures, and monitoring systems for water pollutants.
Some of the resources transferred from Abatement and Control have
been channeled into the Chesapeake Bay program to allow resumption
of this program. Additional resources were also allocated to the
health effects, ecological processes and effects, industrial
processes, and public sector activities. Technical support of
the monitoring and technical support program is being decreased.

FY 1980 Total Change From FY 1979
PFT BA (OOP) PFT BA (OOP)
Abatement and Control 1,952 283,516.8 +56 +37,793.3
Water Quality Management 368 17,014.4 +14 +1,114.8
The increase in regional positions will lead to incorporating
additional toxic criteria on the 3P7(a) list into revisions of State
Water Quality Standards and will permit continued emphasis on imple-
menting and negotiating State/EPA Agreements. Sixteen additional
negotiated agreements will integrate the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and/or air quality management
programs. Continued emphasis will be placed on Regional oversight of
water quality management planning, management agency designations, and
Section 1P6 programs. Two headquarters positions are provided for
economic impact analyses of urban storm water runoff. The funding
increase includes additional grants for public participation in water
quality management and publishing a comprehensive lake restoration
report.
Effluent Standards and
Guidelines 12P 38,183.8 +25 +13.88P
The effluent guidelines and standards program is the primary
element in support of the BAT/toxics effort and much of the basic toxics
strategy for all water programs. The Clean Water Act has reaffirmed and
increased the emphasis on technology-based limitations as the fundamental
method for controlling toxic water pollutants. Therefore, establishing
these limitations is not only required by the Settlement Agreement but
is the critical element in a comprehensive toxic pollutant control
strategy. The establishment of effluent standards must be technically
defensible and must deal soundly and fully with complex and sensitive
economic issues. The Agency's ability to issue defensible second round
NPDES permits implementing these controls for toxic pollutants will
depend to a great extent on the base established by the effluent guide-
lines program.
Resources from this budget element also support remaining non-
toxic effluent guidelines work such as BPT court remands and additional
complex economic analyses to establish new 8CT limitations for conven-
tional pollutants.
To meet the urgent requirements of the program, the Agency is
providing 13 overceiling positions in 1979 and has incorporated these
positions and $7.5 million into its 198P base program. The increase of
12 positions requested in 198P will provide for completion of BAT studies,
as required by the Consent Decree with NRDC, for increased data quality
review, and for expanded BAT studies to emphasize development of recycle

and reuse technologies. The increased funding ($6.4 million) will
allow for the identification of potentially troublesome pollutants
before they become public issues; collection and analysis of toxics
flowing into municipal treatment works (with the goal of developing
control methods for those substances); expansion of studies of
industrial handling of pollutants in order to develop guidelines
detailing Best Management Practices complete development of BCT
regulations; identification of water quality problems after applica-
tion of BAT, by specific pollutant and geographic "hot spots";
economic impact analyses of BAT, BMP, and BCT regulations; technical
support in defense of legal actions against EPA; and technical
assistance to permitting authorities needed to properly judge re-
quests for Section 301(g) waivers.
Dredge and Fill Program... 58 1,931.1 +9 +344.3
This increase will allow the regions to provide minimal review
and comment on major new and ongoing State and COE proposed permits
and to provide additional assistance to States through increased field
visits as States assume Section 4P4 permitting programs. A minimum
number of Section 4P4(c) actions will be initiated. Major, contro-
versial permit proposals, the core of the 4P4 protection programs will
be comprehensively reviewed with this increase. EPA's review and
comment process adjusts permit proposals to make the discharge more
environmentally sound, or may prohibit use of the discharge site
under 4P4(c).
Spill Prevention and
Response 131 8,436.1 +12 +534.4
The increased number of positions and dollars from FY 1979
will be used to accelerate the implementation of the hazardous sub-
stances regulations under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act of 1977,
including policy guidance and technical assistance as required. The
increase will allow EPA to respond to virtually all the major oil
and hazardous substances spills requiring a Federal On-Scene Coor-
dinator. Finally, the increase will allow EPA to begin work on a
limited oil pollution pretreatment program and initiate planning
for a Regional Disaster Assistance Response Program, including
development of guidance and technical assistance to regions as neces-
sary.

Water Quality Monitoring
and Analysis 197 IP,823.5 +15 +988.2
As the States implement the toxics portions of the Basic Water
Monitoring Program and regions increase their toxics sampling efforts,
this increase in positions permits all regions to provide minimal on-
site quality control evaluations of the primary State laboratories; to
coordinate EPA/State toxics monitoring efforts, and to ensure that
resulting data meet specified quality assurance requirements. The
funding increase allows purchase of new and replacement laboratory and
sampling equipment for regional toxics labs. The equipment is needed
to maintain minimum proficiency to support high priority programs such
as: integrated toxics monitoring; NPDES compliance monitoring; effluent
guidelines development; emergency response including hazardous materials;
criteria and non-criteria pollutants; drinking water; quality assurance;
and enforcement case preparation.
Municipal Waste Treatment
Facility Construction 968 63,042.4 - 13,637.2
The $13 million increase is necessary to meet increased con-
tract requirements in a number of areas. Four specific reasons are noted.
First, $4.8 million will be used to supplement the Corps of Engineers
funding to allow a higher level of staff personnel to meet the require-
ments of the agreement. Second, $2.5 million will be used to fund a
contract under Section 3Pl(h), marine discharge permit modifications,
to adequately review applications received from municipalities. This
$2.5 million contract does not represent an increase in effort from
FY 1979, as Congress supplemented the FY 1979 budget through inclusion
of the $2.5 million in the FY 1979 appropriation. Third, about $2 mil-
lion of the increase will be used to increase the contract effort
related to EIS preparation f §r construction grant projects. Finally, ~~
$4.4 million represents new obligational authority that was provided
through other sources in FY 1979, such as projected carryover and
funds borrowed from other programs to pay for the base Corps agreement.
No increase in effort from FY 1979 is reflected in this $4.4 million
increase.
Waste Treatment Operation,
Maintenance and Training. 65 6,P45.6 -7 +58P.1
The seven position decrease will reduce the number of full
time positions in operator training from the FY 1979 level. The $580,PPP
increase is provided for additional contracts to partially offset this
personnel reallocation. No changes are proposed in the EPA effort in
municipal operations and maintenance activities.

FY 1980 Total Change From FY 1979
PFT BA (OOP) PFT BA (OOP)
Great Lakes 15 6,5PP.O -7 +2,910.6
The decrease in positions represents increased reliance upon
contracting for surveillance activities, as well as discontinuance of
a few specialized studies and surveys. The funding increase will not
result in any increased level of effort, since the difference from
the 1979 base will be made up in 1979 by Congressional action adding
a like amount to the FY 1979 appropriation.
Clean Lakes - 15,PPP.O - +427.P
This funding increase is to provide for additional lake restora-
tion grants.

The functions previously carried out by this program have been
transferred to research and development, with remaining activities
absorbed by other abatement and control programs.
Ocean Disposal 3P 2,139.9 - +166.5
The dollar increase provides for a baseline survey study to do
additional environmental impact statements which will allow designa-
tion of sites for ocean dumping.
Water Quality Management
Planning/208 - 62,PPP.O - +3,5PP.8
This increase completes the Section 2P8 planning program fund-
ing for projects in the remaining priority States. Financial Assistance/
3P4(k) is a new program and provides funds for transfer to other Federal
agencies to assist in implementing approved Section 2P8 plans or portions
thereof. Projects funded include acceleration of the Integrated Pest
Management and nutrient control programs of the USDA Extension Service
and expansion of the Irrigation Management Services Program of the
Bureau of Reclamation and Soil Conservation Service.
Enforcement 8P7 28,651.4 +7 +3,342.P
Permit Issuance 256 9,597.1 -1 +2,465.1
Permit issuance resources include an increase of $2 million to
provide contract funds to assist in developing local pretreatment pro-
grams. FY 198P activities will focus on "second round" reissuance of
major permits with BAT for primary industries and with pretreatment
requirements in municipal permits. Priority will also be given to
resolving adjudicatory hearings to make major permits finally effective
and enforceable.

is requested to provide for enforcement of municipal permittees which
have not qualified for construction grant funding.
Research and Development 551 66,217.7 +12 +1P.819.6
Health Effects 27 7.P73.0 +4 568.P
This program is designed to support the Agency's efforts in
municipal wastewater and sludge control. The program aims at determining
the health implications of existing technology for treatment and utili-
zation of wastewater and sludge as well as foreseeing any health risks
that might be associated with innovative technology. The research will
focus on determining health effects associated with land application
of wastewater and sludge and include the conduct of toxicological and
epidemiological studies for evaluation of the potential health effects
of exposure to pathogens, persistent organics, and metals in waste-
water and sludge applied to agricultural land.
The increase in resources will be devoted to determining the
health effects of IP priority pollutants by conducting screening and
toxicological studies (with emphasis on mutagenic, carcinogenic, and
teratogenic endpoints) and by determining bioaccumulation of priority
pollutants through the fresh and marine aquatic food chain and their
impact on man.
Marine Ecological Effects 55 3,393.0 +6 +358.0
The proposed FY 198P marine ecological effects research program
provides a small, but significant, increase in the area of ocean out-
falls research. This research, and the associated technical assistance,
is directly related to decisions the Agency will be making both in the
near and long term. These decisions relate to establishing and review-
ing modifications to municipal waste discharge permits (Section 301) as
they apply to ocean outfalls. This research will improve our ability
to identify and understand the ecological impacts of the disposal of
municipal wastes which have been subjected to various levels of treat-
ment. This information will not only be useful in making decisions
on permit waivers, but will also be used to establish monitoring require-
ments for municipalities.

Effects 128 6,982.0 -2 -5P.O
The freshwater ecological effects research program proposed for
FY 1980 continues that conducted in FY 1979. This program permits con-
tinued research to support the development and revision of water quality
criteria and standards. Emphasis will be given to consent decree
chemicals. The ecological effects nonpoint source (NFS) research will
address several problems relating to NFS pollution. Among the most
important problems are the establishment of the scientific basis for
wet weather water quality criteria; assessing the effectiveness of Best
Management Practices (BMP) in terms of minimizing ecological effects;
and determining the relationships between NPS load reductions and water
quality/ecological effects. Research on the ecological effects of
land application of wastewater and sludge will continue. Emphasis
will be given to studies of food chains, effects of runoff on fresh-
water ecosystems, and non-human organisms as vectors for disease. Other
food chain research will look at the effects and significance of bioac-
cumulation. Evaluations of various lake restoration procedures will be
conducted in conjunction with the Clean Lakes Program. A reduction of
two positions and $50,000 for the freshwater ecological effects program
will be made in the cold climate research area. This reduction will
affect the intramural component of the research in this area.
Transport and Fate 6 1,250.8 +3 +75.0
The proposed 1980 program provides for continuation of research
undertaken in 1979 on the expansion of selected water quality predic-
tive models to address sediment transport (alone and as a carrier of
toxicants) and impacts of releases of selected toxic chemicals to
receiving waters. It also provides for some increased emphasis in the
development of procedures for calibrating and testing the selected types
of water quality predictive models, while decreasing the level of
effort in 1979 on linking nonpoint source loading models to instream
predictive models.
Industrial Processes 33 11,700.0 - +4,300.0
This program will provide effluent guidelines program support
for promulgation of revised BAT and pretreatment regulations. A program
of engineering analysis of treatment technologies to identify optimal
advancements in concentrating, destroying, or recovering pollutants for
reuse will be initiated to investigate and develop technically sound
and cost-effective Best Management Practices and innovative treatment
technology in response to the 1977 Clean Water Act Amendments. Work
will continue to support hazardous and toxic spill response teams by
developing technology for spill control, containment, and recovery.

The large increase in funding will initiate a major program
to assess, investigate, develop, and demonstrate reuse/recycle of
wastewaters and pollutants. Recycle/reuse technology to surmount
economic and technical barriers will be investigated, with demon-
strations in three major industries. The treatability of new pol-
lutants and the intermedia transfer of pollutants will also be
studied as related to reuse/recycle processes.
Industries Processes-
Renewable Resources 28 3,126.8
The renewable resources program will shift major resources
from specific research projects into a regional agricultural and
forestry field evaluation program. Using existing methodologies,
the technology for implementing BMPs to control nonpoint sources
from irrigated and nonirrigated crop production, animal production,
and forestry management activities will be evaluated.
Two regional research evaluation sites, coupled with two model
implementation projects (MIPs), will be used to evaluate BMP selection
techniques, the cost-effectiveness of specific BMPs, water quality
assessment methods, and the effectiveness of technology transfer programs
Selected inhouse and extramural research projects will complement the
field evaluation program. Rural Clean Water Program projects areas
will be included, as appropriate.
Urban Systems, Toxics and
Residuals Management.... 64 8.577.P +1P +1.95P.P
In the toxic materials area, there will be increased emphasis
on the treatability/removability of toxics in publicly owned treatment
works (PPTWs). Research related to operation and maintenance of POTWs
will be reduced. Sludge disposal will emphasize high-rate application
such as reclamation of strip mine spoils.
Wastewater Systems Control
Technology 69 7.P74.1 +6 +568.P
The program will expand efforts to increase technical support
and provide evaluation of innovative and alternative technologies
funded under the Agency Construction Grant Program. Research on al-
ternative processes for disinfection will be phased down, and the
applicability of aquaculture techniques to wastewater treatment and
management will be emphasized. Priority will be placed on identifying
and documenting the impact of wet weather discharges on receiving
water quality. Development of upgrading techniques for POTWs will be
completed.

The major thrust of the monitoring methods and systems activity
provides improved methods in support of Section 3P4(h), revised methods
for monitoring wastewater constituents in support of the NPDES permits
program, improved methods for sampling and analyzing pathogens in sup-
port of water quality standards, candidate reference methods for consent
decree pollutants, and development of automated, in-situ sensors for real-
time, wide area evaluation of water quality.
Characterization and Measure-
ment Methods Development... 28 1,946.2 +1 +3P6.3
The proposed FY 1980 characterization and measurement methods
development program provides for research on new and more cost-effec-
tive methods to identify and measure volatile and non-volatile organics,
chemical elements, and compounds of given elements in water and waste-
water. Assistance will also be provided to the Effluent Guidelines
Division and the Office of Water and Waste Management to identify
toxic organic chemicals commonly present in effluent from selected
industry categories. The resource increase will increase the level
of assistance being given to the Effluent Guidelines Division in the
analysis of mass spectrometer tapes and extracts from industrial
wastes to identify all toxic chemicals commonly present in effluents
from selected industry categories.
Quality Assurance 34 6,152.0 +2 +500.0
The quality assurance activity provides standard analytical
methods and measurement systems of demonstrated and verified pre-
cision and accuracy to support the Agency regulatory offices in their
implementation of the Clean Water Act and the consent decree. Quality
control tools include reference chemicals, quality control samples,
performance evaluation samples, and guidelines manuals. These are
provided to the Agency and to the regulated community for within-
laboratory quality control. Protocols for laboratory evaluation are
developed and workshops are conducted for regional laboratory evalua-
tion teams.
Technical Support 12 1,260.8 -16 -444.7
The technical support program provides the expertise to assist
the Office of Water and Waste Management and the regions with Environ-
mental Impact Statements for construction grants, spill prevention
and control, countermeasure surveys, and emergency response to oil

spills. The reduction in funding and personnel (-16 positions
and -$444,7PP) will result in other support for the regions and
Office of Enforcement being provided on a reimbursable basis.
This reimbursable support includes use of specialized equipment
such as the multi-spectral scanner, thermal scanner, camera and
the enviro-pod to investigate and analyze coastal wetlands, point
and nonpoint sources, and land use.
Great Lakes 7 1,575.P - -525.P
Although the proposed FY 198P Great Lakes R&D program will
have fewer resources (-$525K), much of the program will be a con-
tinuation of ongoing work. Emphasis will be given to studies of
plankton dynamics in Saginaw Bay and western Lake Erie, studies to
determine atmospheric loadings of toxic materials, continued develop-
ment of the Great Lakes data base, studies on the uptake and release
of hazardous substances in sediments and organisms, and studies on
the dispersion and fate of contaminants in a stratified lake. Work
on the development and validation of management models (lakes-in-
series) will be reduced.
Chesapeake Bay 2 3.2PP.P -3 +3,P75
The goal of the Chesapeake Bay Program is to develop a manage-
ment system that will preserve the water quality of Chesapeake Bay by
effectively managing its uses and resources. The program is a continua-
tion of the previous program, transferred from Abatement and Control
to Research and Development. The objectives are to determine, define,
and improve governmental management responsibilities of the Bay; assess
the principal factors having an adverse impact on the Bay's environmental
quality; direct and coordinate research to effectively address these
factors; analyze environmental data; suggest and undertake methods for
improving data collection; establish the capability to collect, store,
analyze, and disseminate information; and initiate sampling programs
where needed. Emphasis will be given to studies of toxic substances,
eutrophication, and rooted aquatic vegetation; water quality problems
induced by dredging and other hydrological modifications; and the
development of a bay-wide monitoring system. In FY 1979 and FY 198P,
the research program will assume the leadership role in Chesapeake
Bay activities. It is anticipated, however, that Region III and the
affected States will continue active involvement in this program.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Long Range Goal; To protect the public health by supporting the Agency's
efforts under the Clean Water Act to ensure the safe treatment, disposal, and
potential reuse of municipal wastewater and sludge and to provide the health
effects data base for setting effluent guidelines.
Major Objectives; The research in this decis'ion unit will provide the health
effects data bases: (1) To determine, health implications of existing and
innovative technology for the treatment and disposal of wastewater and sludge,
(2) To develop rapid screening tests for characterizing toxic pollutants in
complex effluents, (3) To develop marine and freshwater recreational water
quality criteria, (4) To develop criteria for the safe reuse of wastewaters
for potable, industrial, and aquacultural purposes.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Wastewater and Sludge; An epidemiological study of adults and children living
beyond 400 meters of a conventional wastewater treatment plant found no in-
eased risks of acute and chronic disease. This result indicates that pre-
.t siting practices at this distance are acceptable from a health standpoint.
Pathogens in aerosols from wastewater applied to land were identified and
measured. Concentrations above background were found at 600 meters but not at
800 meters downwind. Viruses were found to be more hardy than the coliform
bacteria. A model was developed to predict pathogen exposure. This research
shows that coliform might not be the appropriate indicator organism. The model
provides information useful in the selection of land disposal sites. When
minimum infectious dose information is available, actual risks of disease
can be calculated.
Recreational Water Quality; A method of quantifying concentrations of Vibrio
parahemolyticus in marine waters was developed and validated. This pathogen
is found in contaminated shellfish and bathing waters. It causes gastroenteri-
tis and occasionally septicemia in exposed humans. The test is now being used
in a study relating nutrient concentration to concentrations of Vibrio
parahemolyticus. The study will contribute to the data base for setting
appropriate recreational water quality standards.
Water Toxics; Began identification and development of bioassay/screening
methods for characterizing effluents as to health effects.

FORM 1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) . HQ ORD MEDIA: Water Q
Water Quality - Transport and Fate (B 106) REG. APPRO: R&p
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The overall objective is to provide the scientific understanding, methodolo-
gies, and associated data bases required to: 1) evaluate and predict the trans-
port, transformations and fate of trace organic and inorganic pollutants enter-
ing fresh water ecosystems; 2) predict water quality impacts from the dis-
charge of point and nonpoint source pollution into fresh surface waters; and
3) evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of alternative basinwide point and
nonpoint source pollution control strategies. This technology will be used in
the development of water quality criteria for toxic pollutants, evaluation of
pesticides under consideration for registration, identification of the neces-
sary point and nonpoint source control requirements under "208" and similar
water quality management planning efforts, and determination of appropriate
effluent limitations to be imposed through the permit program in water quality
Limited stream segments.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Completed development and documentation of HSP-F, a continuous simulation
model linking watershed, river and reservoir environments to assess impacts of
nonpoint source runoff and associated pollutants.
*
Completed and documented a screening methodology for water quality assessment
in non-designated 208 areas.
Completed the interface of an agricultural runoff model (ARM) with- a river
model, including sediment transport.
Completed the NFS Calculator, a computerized data base of rural nonpoint source
loading functions.
Completed an environmental assessment of Dlmilin for EPA's Office of Toxic
Substances.
D) . FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Basin-scale models will be expanded to incorporate selected consent-decree
toxic chemicals. Field evaluations will be conducted on recently-developed
aodels. A workshop will be conducted on model calibration and verification.
)evelopment will start on a comprehensive screening method for estimating
environmental loadings of individual toxic chemicals, and a methodology for
naking gross mass balances for these chemicals in the environment. Reports
be prepared on the linking of loading models and receiving water models.
Jser workshops in model application will be presented. Technical assistance
be provided.

b Document application of basin-scale model sets in two locations (12/79)
o Conduct workshops for model technology transfer (12/79, 3/80, 7/80)
Impacts
.o Funding this base level will provide fundamental program continuity,
will complete some of the linkages between NFS loading models and
in-stream water quality models, and will continue limited model
expansion to address toxics (areawide model set will not have toxics
modifications at this level). Models will provide significant capa-
bility for defining AWT, as well as NFS needs, though needed model
calibration will not be completed. Model technology transfer will
be emphasized.
o Not funding this base level will effectively eliminate transport
and fate program.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS AND MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the marine ecological effects research is to provide the legall:
defensible data base for use in the establishment of water quality criteria anc
standards, ocean disposal criteria and standards, effluent standards and waste
disposal guidelines. The objectives of this research are: (1) To understand
the structure and function of natural ecosystems. Such understanding will
serve as a baseline against which changes can be measured and assessed;
(2) to understand effects of pollutants, singly and in complex mixtures, on the
ecosystems. Effects on individuals, populations, and communities may offer a
basis for predicting effects on entire ecosystems. Understanding pollutant
movements, transformations and fate is essential, to determine where effects
will occur. Determination of rates of recovery of ecosystems from different
stresses is necessary to understand the significance of the pollutant effects;
(3) to develop necessary methods for detecting and quantifying pollutants and
determining their persistence, and for measuring ecological effects of these
pollutants; and (4) to determine, in terms of human well-being and desires
(e.g. esthetic, recreational considerations, life support, etc.) the
significance of changes in ecosystems.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Reviewed and revised aquatic life sections of criteria documents for
Consent Decree chemicals.
- Revised the bioassay procedures manual for use in the ocean disposal
permit program.
- Developed bioassay procedures for assessing the impact of dredged
material disposal on benthic communities.
- Provided an independent review of scientific data for the Administrator
which led to the Seabrook decision.
- Determined for biologically available contaminants the physical and
chemical movements and transformations which occur between bottom
sediments and overlying water in estuarine environments.
ft
- Developed generalized mathematical models of suspended sediments and
organic materials for the purpose of describing and predicting pollutant
fate in estuaries.
- Assisted in drafting 301(h) and 403(c) ocean outfall regulations.
- Assisted France, in cooperation with NOAA, in assessing the impact of
the Amoco Cadiz oil spill, particularly regarding effects of macroalgae.
Conducted a workshop on the effects of water chlorination in conjunction
the Department of Energy.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
. Continue development of the scientific base for the support of marine and
estuarine water quality standards and criteria.
. Develop, test, and refine methods for determining chronic and acute
toxicity or other measures of biological impact. This includes the
selection of appropriate species and the preparation of manuals for use
by regulatory programs. Develop and evaluate (1) liquid, particulate and
solid phase bioassays, (2) benthie bioassays, (3) the elutriate test,
and (4) screening tests -for complex industrial/municipal effluents, and
(5) sublethal pollutant effects.
. Develop an integrated capability to test the overall consequences of
alternative waste treatment practices for ocean outfalls through the use
of "pilot plants" and laboratory/field based ecological testing for
toxic, pathogenic and viral components. (Coordinated between Municipal
Environmental Research Laboratory and Environmental Research Laboratory
in Corvallis).
. Conduct field and laboratory assessments of actual marine waste disposal,
dredge spoil disposal and ocean dumping practices and compare laboratory
and field data. Section 301 (h) of P.L. 92-500 requires this type of
assessment if modifications for secondary treatment are. approved.
. Continue the development of predictive techniques to describe the
chemical and physical interactions that govern the final distribution
of waste materials and pollutants discharged to the marine environment.
Impact
. This level represents the minimum program necessary to support the
Agency's marine pollution efforts and is limited in its scope to current
problems. New and emerging problem areas cannot be handled without a
sizable increase in resources.
. Failure to fund this level would eliminate all marine support for
P.L. 92-500, and those activities associated with sections 404, 403,
301 (h), 307, etc., and would delay or preclude the phase out of harmful
waste discharges and endanger the renewable resources of the marine
environment.

Activities .
. Determine the effects of substances used as disinfectants/biocides in
sewage, industrial waste and power plants, on marine ecosystems and
community development.
. Develop acute and chronic effects tests for marine organisms impacted by
the compounds discharged and/or formed as a result of disinfection or
the use of anti-fouling agents.
. Continue productivity and function studies for coastal wetlands started
in FY 78.
. Develop methodology for assessing the impact and the individual plant
effects of pollutant stress on wetland systems (includes non-point source
runoff and the discharge from dredge and fill operations).
. Initiate field studies to identify and .measure wetland system response
for selected stresses and the interactions with the adjacent water bodies.
Impacts
. Disinfectants and biocides may react with natural organic compounds and
may form harmful compounds with high toxicity/persistence. Water quality
standards and criteria for disinfectants and biocides need to be
re-evaluated and revised if necessary. Failure to fund this level will
impact this process. The GAO report on excess chlorination questions the
basis for requiring chlorination and the .information generated here will
serve as a partial basis for reviewing the ecological benefits and
consequences of such regulatory requirements.
. Information on wetlands is needed by the Office of Water Planning and
Standards and will be used as the basis for granting or denying permits
under Section 404 of P.L. 92-500. Failure to fund this level will
eliminate wetland research and be inconsistent with the President's
Environmental Message, The ability to make decisions on whether to issue
or deny Section 404 permits would be severely hampered. This information
would also be used to make decisions on Section 208 issues.

Activities
Develop scientific base for ascertaining the role of marine and estuarine
sediments as sources or sinks for toxicants and determine the effect of
these processes on the function and structure of benthie communities
(coordinate with Office of Air, Land, and Water Use modeling effort).
Conduct field studies to determine the movements of pollutants from
sediments contaminated by waste disposal activities and dredge spoil
disposal.
Determine the relative Importance, impact and need for control of urban
storm water discharged to marine and estuarine areas.
Impact
The protection of the renewable resources of marine and estuarine ecosystems
is only partially addressed by water quality criteria. Environmental
criteria for contaminant levels for sediments need to be developed.
Funding at this level will initiate a minimum program and will draw upon
the expertise of researchers who have experience with the disposal of
solid phase materials to the marine environment. This initiative is
responsive to needs received from the Office of Water Program Operations,
Office of Water, Planning and Standards, and the Ocean Dumping Permit Program

Activities
V
. Increase the level of support 'for research relative to the discharge
of waste materials via outfalls, the development of criteria for
such waste disposal practices and the field evaluation of modified
practices. Emphasis will be given to the determination of the ecological
effects of ocean disposed wastes which have undergone various levels
of treatment. This research will permit a comparison of effects under
different environmental conditions and will be useful in the reevaluation
of ocean outfall secondary treatment waivers.
Impacts
. This increase is necessary to:
1. Provide additional support for the development of Section 403
(92-500) regulations.
2. To support Office of Water and Waste Management as modifications
to conventional secondary treatment are reviewed, tested, and
evaluated.
2. To expand the use of the "pilot plant" in S.E. Florida to test
new processes and develop toxicity data.
Failure to fund this level will severely impact the level of support
that ORD will be able to give to the Regions and Office of Water
and Waste Management concerning modifications for secondary treatment
and will undoubtedly impact other critical research areas if reprogramminj
becomes necessary to fulfill their requirements.

R&D
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the freshwater ecological effects research is to provide the
legally defensible data base for use in the establishment of water quality
criteria and standards, effluent standards and waste disposal guidelines.
The objectives of this research are: (1) to understand the structure and
function of natural ecosystems. Such understanding will serve as a baseline
against which changes can be measured and assessed; (2) to understand effects
of pollutants, singly and in complex mixtures, on these ecosystems. . Effects
on individuals, populations, and communities may offer a basis for predicting
effects on entire ecosystems. Determination of rate of recovery of ecosystems
from different stresses is necessary to understand the significance of the
pollutant effect; (3) to develop necessary methods for measuring ecological
effects of these pollutants; and (4) to determine, in terms of human well-
being and desires (e.g., esthetic, recreational considerations, life support,
etc.) the significance of changes in ecosystems.
.C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS '
(1) Developed sediment criteria for salmon spawning areas and sampling
procedures for monitoring stream bed conditions (for Region X).
(2) Fifty-seven non-PCB polychlorinated chemicals were found in fish samples
in a nationwide survey, four forms of which were found in over half of
the fish samples.
<
(3) Studies suggest that chlorobromination may not be a desirable alternative
for chlorination to disinfect municipal wastes, since fish were found
to bioaccumulate bromo-organic compounds.
L "
(4) Developed procedures and prepared draft reports of freshwater aquatic
life criteria documents for Consent Decree chemicals.
(5) Studies of chemical residues in fish from U.S. waters suggest that the
increase in ratio of petroleum hydrocarbons relative to N-heptadecane
may be a sensitive and inexpensive indicator of oil pollution.
(6) Studies on measuring and estimating the bioconcentration factors of
chemicals in fish were completed and screening methods were developed for
detecting potential residue-forming chemicals in aquatic organisms.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
(1) Develop the scientific base to support the development of freshwater
water quality standards and criteria. Comparisons of field and laboratory
results will be conducted.

. Develop the scientific base and related methods for the support of water
quality criteria and regulations. This includes physiological, bio-
chemical, pathological and behavioral bioassays to measure pollutant
stress: the investigation of responses that can be developed into short-
term and screening tests for aquatic biological/ecological effects and as
estimates of effects on humans. Principal focus will be upon consent
decree chemicals.
. Develop methods for assessing ecological effects of non point source (NFS)
pollutant categories relative to point sources; develop methods for
assessing the effectiveness of Best Management Practice in terms of
minimizing ecological effects in lakes and streams; continue to develop
refine and test methods for evaluating the socio-economic benefits'of
alternative NFS control practices; determine the relationships-between
NPS load reductions and water quality/ecological effects; develop the
scientific base (and related methods) for the establishment of wet
weather non-steady state water quality criteria. Initial emphasis
will be on sediment and urban runoff. This will be coordinated between
the Office of Air, Land, and Water Use (-OALWU). The OALWU will develop
methods to predict loadings of pollutants and the Office of Health and
Ecological Effects (OHEE) will predict ecological effects due to improve-
ments or changes in NPS loadings'(Note: a commonality of data will occur
for selected water bodies.)
. Determine the ecological effects of freshwater dredge .spoil disposal and
"develop and assess methodologies for evaluating the effects. This research
will build on related research in the marine area and will be used in
the dredged material permit program. This research will be coordinated
with related work being done by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
through the EPA/COE technical committee.
Impacts
. This level represents the minimum program necessary to support the
Agency's regulatory and enforcement activities in selected areas only,
e.g., Sections 208, 30A(a), 404, 301 and 302 of PL 92-500. Excluded
from consideration at this level are: (1) freshwater wetlands research,
(2) biological test methods for complex industrial effluents and (3)
the ecological effects of the land application of treated municipal
and industrial wastes.

Activities
. Continue biological productivity and ecological function studies for
freshwater wetlands, started in FY 1979, in support of Section 404
regulations of PL 92-500, as amended.
. Develop methodology for assessing the ecological impact and effects of
pollutants on individual wetland plant species and wetland ecosystems
(includes UPS runoff). Work will be coordinated with the Corps of
Engineers.
. Conduct field studies to identify and measure wetland ecological responses
for selected stresses and the interactions with adjacent water bodies..
This will be coordinated with Clean Lakes Demonstration Projects.
. Develop- methods and procedures for measuring the ecological effects of
complex mixtures and multiple stresses under steady and non-steady state
exposures to toxic pollutants. This work will aid in the evaluation of
the effectiveness of Best Practical Technology/Best Available Technology
in the removal of consent decree and other toxic chemicals using biologi-
cal effects methods. These evalutions will provide an indication of
how effective these technologies are in protecting the environment.
Impacts i .
.Wetlands information is required by the Office of Water Planning and
Standards (OWPS) and will be used as the basis for granting or.denying
permits under Section 404 of PL 92-500. Failure to fund this level will
severely impact the Agency's ability to control the rapid loss of wetlands
to urban development. OWPS has given a high priority to protection of
limited wetland resources which are essential to maintaining productivity
of the adjacent waterbody. The President's Environmental Message and
the changes in PL 92-500 to include freshwater wetlands are indicative
of their high priority.
. Failure to fund this level will limit the data base used in the regulation
of complex wastes and pollutant combinations since most pollution from
point sources is a complex mixture whose concentration varies with time
and combinations of pollutants . it is ncessary to develop methods and
procedures which can accurately measure the ecological effects and
significance of these multiple stress.

. Expand sediment criteria research to include the determination of the role
of sediments as sources and sinks for toxicants and the effects of these
processes on the ecological function and structure of benthic communities.
This effort will be coordinated with similar work on dredged materials
being planned for freshwater systems, with modeling efforts, with
research in the Great Lakes and related research in marine water.
. Continue research efforts inititated in FY'78 to examine the ecological
impacts of land application of municipal and industrial wastewater- and
sludge. This will include the identification of impacts, the development
of field/laboratory methods of biological evaluation, and the determ-
ination of the ecological cost effectiveness of the practice. This research _
will be coordinated with health effects research and technology research
being done on sludge and wastewater through an ORD interlaboratory
committee. Emphasis will be given to studies on pollutant effects on
food chains, the possibility of non-human organisms being vectors for
disease, and the effects of run-off on freshwater organisms and
ecosystems.
. Develop methods to assess the ecological significance of bioaccumulation
of toxicants (consent decree chemicals) in food chains of temperate
waters. This work will be coordinated with other food chain research.
Impacts
. The work on sediments is a high priority' item for the Office of Water and
Waste Management 'to set sediment criteria and standards.
. Failure to fund this level would preclude any ecological effects research
on the freshwater impact of alternative waste disposal treatments and
practices. Since industries and municipalities are required to seek
these alternatives to aquatic waste disposal this information
is needed to effectively regulate and approve requested modifications
or alternative methods.
. Failure to fund the food chain initiative would greatly reduce the
Agency's ability to relate ecological impacts of toxicants in the
food chain to human health. . ' ____

Activities
. Continue Clean Lakes evaluations to demonstrate and cmbpare the effective-
ness of various lake restoration techniques on a limnological basis.
In selected cases a complete socio-economic evaluation will be performed
to document the true costs and benefits of such techniques which
utilize dredging. These activities are coordinated with Office of
Water Planning and Standards (OWPS).
. Continue the Alaskan cold climate research as an extramural program.
Emphasis will be given to problems relating to natural resource develop-
ment and waste disposal in cold climates.
Impacts
. The Clean Lakes Program under the Office of Water Planning and Standards
will continue to fund a variety of projects using different lake
restoration techniques. Without an evaluation of these techniques there
will be no way to demonstrate and compare the effectiveness of various
lake restoration techniques. This information will provide the Regions
and States with a better way to evaluate proposed lake restoration
projects.
. Failure to fund this level will eliminate effects research on cold
climates. The loss of this program will severely hamper technical
assistance support to Region X in Alaska.

This effort responds to legislative mandates of the Clean Water Act
(PL 92-500) and. the Consent Decree of 1976. The overall purpose is,to
develop and demonstrate pollution control technologies capable of reducing
or eliminating potentially hazardous and toxic pollutant discharges from
industrial point sources. Outputs provide technical and cost data bases
supporting regulatory standards and provide alternatives for direct appli-
cation by industry in solving pollution problems. The research- programs
consist of two main pursuits:
1.-Assessment .ofthe-magnitude-of industrial pollution problems; the economic
environmental, and energy use efficiency of existing technologies; and the
potential for developing new technologies-.
2. Research, development and demonstration of promising pollution control
technologies. ........... .. ...

~In FY 1979, activities will be focused on the research, development,
and demonstration of control and treatment technologies. These techno-
logies are aimed afreducing hazardous and toxic pollutant effluents' from
industry point sources to acceptable levels. Previously completed source
assessments wi-11 serve as a basis for determining areas of investigation.
Output will be used to validate and support technically feasible effluent
guidelines. Emphasis will be placed on-the development of closed cycle.
technology employing the principles of water reuse and by-products recovery.
-As--in-previ«us-yaare,. -the .hazardous incident program will continue .its
efforts to develop technologies for controlling and minimizing hazardous
material spills and damages.
Major research results to be achieved in FY 1979 include:
- Demonstration of technology for the abatement of hazardous and
toxic" effluents from the organic nitrogen chenical^industry. "
- Demonstration of ultraviolet ozonation for high priority organic
chemical waste'streams. . . ' . "'""."'.' " "".
- Demonstration of control of toxic discharges from tailings ponds,
hot and cold cold forming, and rolling steel mills.
' - Demonstration of the control of discharges of toxic, chlorinated
hydrocarbons. ..... .. .
- Demons tr at ion ..of. technology for the removal of emulsified oily
wastes from the metal finishing and fabrication industry.
.- Evaluation of options for tracing the plumes of spilled hazardous
materials in water and computerizing spill response'data.
- Determination of alternative means for removing hazardous materials
from large rivers.
- Continued assessment of newly emerging technologies in controlling
discharge of _toxic pollutants.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED: '
Considered three" options for imp-lementing the proposed RD&B...program: 100%
in-house, 100% extramural, or a mixture of in-house and. extramural. The
preferred option would be an optimum mixture of in-house and extramural^
activities to assure the most effective use of outside expertise, facilities,
and advanced methods while allowing EPA project officers to maintain
complete control of the program's development, direction, and management.
This option, as well as a 100% in-house program, was rejected because of
inadequate manpower. Consequently, the only viable option is a 100%
extramural program except for hazardous material spills- which is utilizing
5% in-house and 95% extramural.

The base level implements several major programs all directed toward
supporting the development of timely,- technically sound regulations.
. Effluent Guidelines -. "Problem solving" support for special
industrial wastewater pollution problems that remain unresolved as
revised BAT regulations are promulgated during FY79 & 80. Emphasis
will be placed on documentation of exemplary wastewater abatement
practices including recycle and reuse and end-of-pipe technologies.
Optimization of currently available treatment methods and
advancement of water pollution control technologies. Continue
engineering'analyses of conventional treatment technologies to
optimize their design, operation, and maintenance. Develop treatment
technology advancements which concentrate, destroy, or beneficially
reuse pollutants.
. Research mechanisms to be available for quick response to EGD*
and federal and state permit authorities include ORD's inhouse Test
and Evaluation Facility and extramural grants, regular and support.
contracts, and interagency agreements. *
Hazardous and toxic spill response - Provide a m-fn-tmiim techno-
logy development program for hazardous and toxic spill response to
support the Section 311 hazardous spill removal regulations by provid-
ing for the development of criteria for determining spill cleanup
priorities.
Impacts
Funding this base level will provide the Agency with the minimally
necessary technological tools to assure defensible regulatory and
enforcement actions. The spill program will provide first-on-scene
spill response personnel with limited tools necessary for protection
of public health and welfare.
Not funding this level would force federal, state, and municipal
regulatory and enforcement activities to mitigate water pollution
problems without an adequate technical basis ... technologies would
not be advanced, treatability data would not be available, quick
response guidance to permit authorities would not be possible. Toxic
spill response technology would develop only sporadically through com-
mercial pressures and there will be no incentive to provide for increased
protection of public health and welfare. There would be no focus or
priority for the development of recycle/reuse technology.

This level establishes a research program for Best Management Practices
(BMPs) . BMPs will be established by EGD and enforced by federal and
state permit authorities; BMPs are mechanisms that will be used by
industry to control pollution from sources that are not readily
covered by BAT, and revised BAT. Such sources as: run-off from production.
feed stock and waste piles; spills; and production leaks; etc., will
shortly be identified by the Agency for control via BMPs. The research
program that this level supports will ensure: 1) that all sources of
pollution for which BMPs can be utilized are addressed, 2) that BMPs
established by EPA are technically appropriate and cost effective,
3) that industry understands through proper training how BMPs are to be
implemented, and 4) that alternative BMPs are developed and demonstrated
hen technical difficulties and/or cost effectiveness prevent implementation
f EPA designated BMPs. The efforts to be conducted under this program
will be fully coordinated with EGD and federal and state permit authorities.
Specific activities within this program include:
. Demonstrate alternate cost effective BMPs where necessary.
Provide extensive data collection and analysis in support of
training programs of recommended practices, applicable to standard
industrial practices, to assist and encourage plant personnel to
reduce wastewater flows, pollutant loadings, and wastewater treatment
process upsets. Included will be cost effective procedures and
practices amenable to employee training/ awareness programs.
. Develop procedures for periodic non-destructive testing of
chemical storage tanks to determine high risk facilities in need of
corrective action.
. Investigate all possible cost effective areas for BMP application.
Impacts
. Funding this level provides the Agency with a research program
designed to establish cost effective BMPs that will minimize polluting
practices. Regulatory and permit authorities will have the necessary
tools to ensure well established and defensible BMPs.
. Not funding this level will result in no BMP activities as
described above. This will jeopardize the "sound" establishment of
al1tern^tive BMPs will be developed to correct implementation

Activities "
This level supports the Oil and Special Materials Control Program through
control technology development for hazardous and toxic materials spills. This
effort is in support of Agency mandates under Section 311 and 304 of the Clean
Water Act. The program will provide information vital to spill response teams,
on-scene coordinators and regulatory groups such as the Effluent Guidelines .
Division. Major efforts involve:
. Technology development for prevention of hazardous and toxic spills in
support of prevention regulations (Sec. 311-Clean Water Act).
t
Control technology development initiatives in support of regulatory
needs for control of toxic and hazardous spillage at plants and storage sites,
and for restoration of impacted lands and waters.
Impacts
Funding this level will provide technology for implementation of requirements
mandated by the Clean Water Act, and will increase the efficiency of spill
response teams, thereby minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing pro-
tection of public health and welfare.
Not funding this level will render the Agency non-responsive to future
regulatory and management needs. R&D input, to Section 311 regulations will be
curtailed, Effluent Guidelines-related mandates of Section 304 (Clean Water Act)
will not be met for management of spills, and restoration technology from
impacted lands will not be developed. Public health and welfare will be unduly
jeopardized.

This level establishes a major program directed at the demonstration of
reuse and recycle options for industrial wastewater discharges, as well as
providing evaluations and solutions for the reduction of intermedia impacts
from pollution abatement practices. .
Recycle & Reuse - Considerations; 1) Reuse .& recycle reduces the volume
of wastewater to be treated. It also reduces the
volume of intake water required which in turn results
in low water treatment chemical usage and energy
consumption. Capital and operating costs for end-of-pipe
treatment are proportionately reduced; 2) Valuable
resources, currently in 'the form of discharged
pollutants, will be recovered within, the process;
3) Pollutants, both conventional and priority, have
minimum impact on our environment when they are
contained within the industrial process; this depends
on the availablity of technically and economically
viable reuse & recycle approaches; 4) Recycle activities
activities must insure the reduction of corrosion and
maintenance of product quality at all times.
Approach; The effort defined by this level will concen-
trate specifically on 3 of the 21 industries suspected of
contributing a high number of the 129 priority pollutants
in their discharge To the maximum extent possible, the
following actions will be initiated;
.Determine, world wide, the economics, extent of practice,
and limiting barriers for known reuse- and recycle
practicies, including land treatment.
.Determine the feasibility of extension of findings to
other industries, both for new and existing sources.
.Evaluate the engineering options to remove the technical I
economic barriers and extend the use of reuse and recycle
techniques.
.Selectively demonstrate extensions of reuse and recycle
technologies.
.Disseminate the results to all possible user communities
to ensure widest adoption of findings.

Intermedia Impacts - This effort'will evaluate and attempt'to establish
ways in which to minimize intermedia impacts from waste-
water pollution abatement practices. Such impacts will
include those to the air and land media as well as the
effect on energy consumption. Alternate technologies
will be evaluated and/or developed and demonstrated to
determine those that are.most effective in the control,
elimination, or containment of wastewater pollutant
parameters with minimum intermedia impact * More
specifically we will;
.Determine the extent of pollutant transfer between water
and air during in-plant and end-of-pipe wastewater treat
nent practices, including biological treatment; air or
steam stripping; dissolved air flotation; vacuum filtra-
tion; and open equalization, storage, and collection
structures. Results will identify those practices and
wastewater streams most significant as air pollution
sources. Develop and demonstrate alternative control
and treatment practices where significant intermedia
impact are indentified.
.Determine the extent of intermedia impact to both land
and energy consumption caused by wastewater control and
treatment practices where significant intermedia impacts
are identified.
.Quantify intermedia transfers of toxic 'substances occur-
ring in existing technologies and develop'industrial
process modifications and/or new industrial process
technologies to minimize or eliminate these intermedia
transfers.
IMPACTS
Funding this level provides the required resources to make a decisive
attempt at pursuing the legislative goal of zero discharge, while at the same
time minimizing the health related impacts caused by the discharge of priority
pollutants, optimizing the use of natural resources, and affecting intermedia
considerations in regulatory and enforcement functions.

Activities:
Toxics Control - Develop a treatability/removability manual data base; develop
surrogates for the Priority Pollutants Consent Decree; Conduct in-situ study
of. urban-wide toxics control program (trade-offs between source control,
centralized treatment and disposal); Conduct Urban-Wide "mass-balance"
(partitioning) of toxics and hazardous wastes; Identify mechanisms of
treatment controlling the removability/treatability of toxics in POTW's:
Develop and evaluate detoxification technology; develop simplified/low cost
measurement methods for quantification of toxics in sludge and water.
Sludge Management and Beneficial Utilization - Evaluate starved-air-combustion

Identify design principals, and verify same, of sludge disposal in landfills
with or without municipal refuse (including preprocessing requirements);
evaluate "alternate" non-food chain uses of the sludge fertilizer value;
develop management practices for controlling toxic chemicals (organics) in
sludge applied to the land; develop low cost power generator using digester
gas.
Urban Systems - Conduct evaluations of POTW systems ranging from manual
control to automatic control for the purpose of simplifying operation;
Conduct an urban-wide systems analysis to determine impact of pretreatment
on POTW operation and sludge disposal options. Document effect of process
control strategies on POTW reliability and effluent quality; develop system
reliability guidelines; develop cost-benefit analysis of competing urban-wide
toxic control studies and residuals management.
Impact: Not funding this level would not provide the minimal support needed
by the operating programs in the critical program areas: Responses to the
Consent Decree, Pretreatment and Best Practical Waste Treatment (BPWT).
Not funding this level would negatively impact the Office of Water and
Waste Management (OWWM) Urban Toxic Substances Strategy, effective
implementation of the CWA Construction Grant program's emphasis on recycling
sludges, and impair the ability .of the Agency to formulate regulations under
RCRA authorities.
Level 1 alone will have little impact on Agency regulations and/or policy.

Activities:
Under authority of the 1977-CWA Section 105, evaluate Innovative
and/or Alternate sludge management technology projects (from cities with
and without pretreatraent) built by Construction Grants. This activity
will include technical assistance to the Regions during the facility review
phase as well as indepth evaluations of projects selected for 105 funding.
Emphasis should be given to Alternate Technology and their Innovative
Technologies that conserve or recover energy, reduce costs, beneficially
use sludge, improve efficiency and/or reliability, etc.
Impact; Not funding this level would result in not funding any post
construction evaluations under the CWA Section 105 (j). These studies
are needed to support the new construction grant I/A technology program.

Impact; We have a commitment to support the operating and maintenance costs
of an existing Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT) demonstration project at
Ely, Minnesota until 1982. Without these resources, the research on toxics
control will have to be reprogrammed to cover this commitment. That would
result in a serious impact to the Agency's activities in setting regulations

The elements of this decision unit are interrelated in that findings or
results in solution methodologies, technology development, environmental
impacts and pollution abatement performance in any one specific element can,
in part, be applied or affect research plans of the remaining elements. These
elements are: (a) New Technology Alternatives and Process Development -
wastewater treatment process development, (b) Small Flow - upgrading and
development of methods for collection, storage and treatment of individual
home and rural wastewater systems; (c) Soil Treatment - development and
evaluation of soil as a treatment media; (d) Urban Runoff - development of
data for receiving water impact interpretation and remedial low structural
technology; (e) Combined Sewer - develop and assess control technologies,
development of monitoring methods, development and cost/performance of dual
use (wet-dry weather) treatment technology, and provision of user assistance
tools.
Activities: (a) New Technology Alternative - final development and evaluation
of disinfection processes to establish optimization of- cost/performance and
minimization of side effects; updating the nitrogen control manual for better
POTW performance; initiation of research and development of new generation of
biological processes directed to reducing cost, energy consumption, space
requirements, toxic susceptibility and sludge production; continue base data
collection for strategy development; (b) Small Flows - initiate development
of seasonal and community sized subsurface disposal systems; determination of
fate of toxics in individual home treatment systems; (c) Soil Treatment -
expand overland flow process investigation to northern climates; complete
nutrient management models for nitrogen and phosphorus; develop management
practices for irrigation and rapid infiltration to northern climates; continue
data development in cooperation with Office of- Water Program Operations for
input into comprehensive design manuals for three major soil treatment systems;
(d) Urban Runoff - continue urban wet weather receiving water column impact
assessments for aid in development of criteria for classic parameters; expand
the urban runoff data bank to include toxic and heavy metal/chemicals sources,
loads and impacts so as to permit analyzing, interpretation and development of
statistical relationships for surrogate parameters and quantification of
priority or key pollutants; development of wet weather pollution loads, land
use, water quality matrices concentrating on benthic/sediment/toxic impacts
(cooperative with OHEE and OTS) for sediment control criteria and complex
discharge characterization; develop and evaluate a series of BMP's in the
low and nonstructural mode for urban runoff to determine assessment criteria
in multi-use benefits and cost/performance; treatment technology (dry-wet
weather) for design and cost performance data; development of user assistance
tools in flow measurement, monitoring, sampling and predictive technology.

Activities:
New Technology Alternatives and Process Development - updating of
process design manual (including lagoons); status report on the POTW
upgrading effort (this will be a decision making point for continuation for
direction of R&D-work in- this, area).
Small Flows - complete the septage handbook for collection, handling,
treatment and disposal of pumpout from septic tanks.
Soil Treatment - continue work on fate of toxics in soil and begin to
develop management systems to minimize their effects; initiate development
of management systems to minimize effects of toxics.
Urban Runoff - establish in selected cases the effect of urban runoff
on aquatic life; expand development of runoff rate attenuation techniques.
Impact; The consequences of not funding the level are:
The process design manual will be delayed and the decision on the
resources and direction of the "upgrading" program will be slipped. The
much needed septage handbook publication will be delayed at least another
year. These delays will have impact on both in-house and extramural efforts.
Presently, a large portion of program time is spent in technical assistance
because the design manual and handbook are not published. Outside of program
considerations is the fact that the construction grant program will not
receive the support these documents can provide. General acceptance of land
treatment for municipal wastewater will be delayed. This delay'is of
significance because land treatment is designated as an alternative technology
and the fate of toxics is an important issue. There will be inadequate
technology development to give minimum help to the operating programs in the
innovative and alternative data needs of the construction grant program.
Technology development to support urban runoff BMP's would be delayed.
The benefits of funding are that the activities address Regional and
Headquarters needs.

Activities
New Technology Alternatives - comprehensive review and publication of
an improved users manual for evaluation of alternative waste management
technology and analysis of the need for advanced waste treatment plants,
(utilize in part the results of the FY 79 compendium update) . The goal is to
provide a method by which an AWT Plant in. total and its component parts will
be evaluated as to effectiveness and cost in meeting receiving water standards
vis a vis other municipal sources. ;
Small Flows - continue basic investigation and development of futuristic
or anticipatory waste handling systems for the home construction technology
of the 21st century.
Aquaculture - expand work on macrophytes; begin to evaluate use of other
natural systems for wastewater treatment (cooperate with the urban runoff
program and Corps of Engineers)
Conservation, Renovation and Reuse - initiate the investigation of
treatment systems for effectiveness in removal of organics, metals, and
viruses through both new technology (pilot) and full scale (conventional)
system (cooperate with HERL) ; prepare guidelines for decision makers for
utilization in reuse decisions; evaluate the various strategies for minimizing
drought effects by incorporation of conservation, renovation and reuse;
determine the impact of conservation on municipal treatment systems and the
economic effects on the total water balance system (supply, demand, cost, and
other consequences of conservation) .
Innovative and Alternative Technology Implementation - continue the
technical assistance program and core group initiated in FY 79.
Impact ; The consequences of not funding this level are:
Not meeting the need of the construction grant program in advanced waste
treatment decision making.
Inability to develop new individual home waste treatment technology
compatible with new housing technology.
Delay in basic aquaculture/wetland technology; elimination of effective
conservation and reuse measures.
Elimination of the detailed assistance in implementation of I&A.
The benefits of funding are in addressing Regional and operating program
needs, the beginning of a high potential aquaculture program which is
associated with the multi-use wetland concept and productive R&D input into
the construction grants program for innovative and alternative technology.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities:
Provide an R&D program which would include sufficient resources to
conduct technical assistance and a cost effective evaluation of the I/A
projects. In this level the resources to carry out adequate technical
assistance and initiate evaluations of operable facilities are requested.
This level of effort would take full advantage of the opportunity provided by
the increased grant amounts to establish performance criteria. In terms of
overall long range spending for pollution control by both Federal and local
governments it would be unwise not to thoroughly monitor, evaluate and docu-
ment the performance of any innovative, new, improved or alternative technolog
provided by the construction program. Of equal importance is maintaining a
centralized function wherein the data are compared, analyzed, assembled and
presented in a useable fashion for future construction. This effort would
need to continue beyond the implementation assistance phase and in the out
years would incorporate those resources assigned to the initial implementa-
tion efforts. In accomplishing this mission much of the individual project
technical assistance requested by the regions could also be addressed. Also
important, although impossible to project, are the beneficial modifications
which will come about as a result of an in-depth evaluation program.
The purpose of the I/A program is to gain acceptance of new or improved
technology by engineers and designers. Unless a creditable evaluation is
done the resistance to "unproved" technology will remain.
The resources requested will allow reasonable technical assistance and
a centralized evaluation effort with sufficient funds to accomplish a mean-
ingful product.
Impact; The consequences of not funding the level are:
1. Not meeting the requirements of Section 105(j) of the Clean Water Act
2. Missing the opportunity to evaluate and suggest improvements on
approximately $2,500 million dollars worth of full use, innovative
technology.
3. Missing the opportunity to influence long range future pollution
abatement technology in terms of performance, and money and energy
savings.
The benefits are a competent, professional evaluation and documentation
of the cost/performance of innovative and alternative technologies for
future "in-practice" use.

Characterization & Measurement'Methods~~Develo~ptireh~t 'REG.' "
APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goals and major objectives are to provide sample collection and
analysis methods for the cost-effective identification and quantification of
all relevant chemical constituents in water, sludge, sediment,"and soiil",~cori-
sistent with sensitivity requirements of users in the research and the opera-
tion's communities. The methods are to be applicable to organic compounds,
chemical elements, different inorganic species of the same elements, and to
classes of substances without necessarily identifying or measuring specific
constituents. The methods are to be applicable to constituents in suspended
particulates as well as in solution.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Developed computer software for automatic calculation of Gas Chromatograph
relative retention times based on mass spectrometric recognition of internal
standards.
- Established spark source mass spectrometry as a referee technique for the
multielement analysis of 84 elements.
- Evaluated voltammetric methods for the determination of free ionic species
of selected materials in natural waters.
- Evaluated an automatic sampler for organics in water.
- Evaluated the environmental significance of chemical species in water and
set priorities for the development of analytical methods for speciation.
- Developed a screening technique for identification of consent decree organic
chemicals in industrial wastewaters.
. D)'FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In FY 79, the master analytical scheme (MAS) for the analysis of volatile
organics will be completed, and the marker compounds to be used in conjunction
with the MAS will be identified. In the area of multielement analysis, the
application of rapid multielement techniques for consent decree elements will
be demonstrated and research will be initiated to investigate the application
of multielement techniques to the.analysis of soils and sediments.
The effort on non-volatile organics will be directed toward development of a
preliminary version of a spectral generating detector and work on separation
zechniques. Also, interim procedures for the confirmation of the identities
of non-volatile organics will be evaluated.
Work will continue on the problems of separating and identifying inorganic
species. With respect to asbestos, a te'sted referee method will be prepared.

Activities . ._
o Development of methods for measurement of volatile organic chemicals in
aqueous media, (9/80 - 1/81).
o Establishment of capabilities for measurement of non-volatile organic
chemicals in aqueous media, (9/81).
o Development of methods for simultaneous multielement analysis of water
and wastewater, (9/81).
o Development of methods for physical and chemical characterization of
suspended particulates (including screening methods for asbestos) in
aqueous media, (6/82). ...&
V ^.
^> Provision of an increment of support to the National Bureau of Standards
to continue development of the "marker compounds" for the Master Analytical
Scheme (MAS).
Impact
Funding.this base level would provide meaningful progress to be made on
the development of procedures and techniques for identification of toxic
organic and inorganic chemicals in aqueous media. In addition, methods
would be provided to adequately address problems presented by particulates
(including asbestos) in waters andiwater supplies.
In addition, marker compounds are an integral part of the MAS, (a proto-
col for broad spectrum analysis of toxic and other organic compounds in
water). Funding this level will continue the effort initiated in FY 79
toward development of these compounds.
Not funding level would eliminate the EPA's capability to identify and
quantify toxic organics, inorganics, and particulates (including asbestos)
in effluents and receiving waters, in a cost-effective and timely fashion.
Hence, the Agency would not have the ability to identify and respond to
water pollution emergencies, set meaningful water quality standards,
evaluate control technologies, and regulate and monitor the use of toxic
chemicals. Further, by not funding this level, the marker compounds
necessary for the MAS would not be provided. Without these marker
compounds/internal standards development of the MAS will not be completed
on schedule. : 0102

APPRO: R&D
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES The objective of this program is to
provide ORD support to Program and Regional Offices. These services are
personnel-dependent activities which focus on specific problems' and utilize
expertise and/or equipment unique to ORB. The technical support generally
falls into the following categories: (1) Scientific consultation which
utilizes ORD's existing specific or unique scientific expertise; (2) Collect-
tion, analysis and interpretation of environmental data which require the use
of ORD's sophisticated equipment and instruments, and/or the expertise of
ORD's technicians and scientists; (3) Emergency response in the event of an
oil spill, a chemical spill or an ambient air pollution episode.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS The program completed more than 50 water oriented
projects. Nineteen were reimbursed by the requester. The projects provided
support on the following areas: 14 Office of Enforcement,' 12 Spill Prevention
Control and Countermeasure and Spill Emergency, 14 Regional and two 208.
impact analyses, and 9 application engineering projects. Major problems under-
taken include: Chesapeake Bay Support., Lake-Tahoe Water Quality, Poplar River
Base line, EIS remote sensing demonstration, Smith Mountain Lake 208 study,
Region X non-point survey, remote sensing/septic tank problem identification,
Mangrove Inventory in Florida and the Andrescoggin Land Use Study. The Enviro-
pod program completed the second phase of its program. Region IV completed a
six month Regional application. Pods are now deployed in Region IV, VI, and I,
at the Environmental Research Laboratory Laboratory-Narragansett, and at the
Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center-Vint Hill and the Environ-
mental Monj.torj.ng Support Laboratory-Las Vegas. Six additional pods are avail-
D) FYySPW^&iiwfiiSSRlPTION The FY-79 program will provide assistance to the
Office of Water and Waste Management in the form of remote sensing support for
the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Program and the emergency oil
spill response program.- Assistance will be provided to the Office of Federal
Activities and all Regions for the preparation of Environmental Impact State-
ments. Regional Offices will receive support in the form of analytical
services, field surveys, data analysis and remote sensing services. Programs
such as the Lake Tahoe Water Quality Program, the Chesapeake Bay Study, Poplar
River Survey and the Regional IV Strip Mine survey will continue or expand.
Additional studies will include: Pit, Pond and Lagoon Survey, Region I: Lake
Eutrophication Study with Landsat -data; and Dredge Spoil'Placement 'for Regions
IV and VI. These and approximately 50 other programs will utilize the expertise
of ORD personnel and specialized equipment such as: multi-spectral scanner,
thermal scanner, cameras, Data Analysis System and the Enviro-pod.
100% contractural support for the provision of technical support has been
considered but was rejected because of poor utilization of in-house expertise
and the inability to provide timely response because of long contract negotiat-
ion requirements. Total in-house capability was rejected because of excessive
personnel requirements. The recommended mode of operation is to continue with
a mix of in-house personnel supported by contract personnel.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
This level provides for a basic technical support program for the Head-
quarters Program Offices and a program for Regional Offices contingent on the
availability of manpower and reimbursement by the Region. This level provides
fundamentally the support needed by Office of Water and Waste Management
(OWWM) for Spill Prevention Control Countermeasure (SPCC), environmental
impact statements and, particularly, emergency support on oil and hazardous
spills. Because of the unplanned nature of spills other activities can be
carried out when the staff is not occupied with their primary mission. The
program will provide the services of water oriented scientists, remote sensor
specialists and laboratory technicians, and their state-of-the-art equipment.
Services to be provided include:
- 2 work year effort to Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Program
of Office of Water and Waste Management (OWWM).
- 0.5 work year to emergency oil and hazardous spills for OWWM.
- 2 work year to application of remote sensing to Enviornmental Impact State-
ment (EIS) preparation for construction Grants for OWWM, Office of Planning
and Management and Office of Federal Activities.
Services to be provided on a staff available reimbursable basis:
- 1 work year effort for consultation on analytical test procedures for
analysis of municipal, industrial, ocean and ambient water samples.
- 7.5 work year for water study programs such as Atchafalya River Studies,
Lake Tahoe Program, Lake Trophic Studies and Chesapeake Bay Program.
- 6 work year effort for Regional reimbursable programs in energy, wetlands,
point and non-point sources, thermal effluents and land use. Program
includes case preparation for enforcement actions. It is anticipated that
30 studies can be accomplished for Regions. Ten highest priority requests
could be completed for Regions without reimbursement.
Impact
Funding will provide desired Program Office support and basic resources
for reimbursable program for Regions.
Not funding would eliminate ORD support to Spill Prevention Control
Countermeasure Oil Emergency Program and EIS Program; would also eliminate use
of specialized analytical analysis, consultation and state-of-the-art equip-
ment for reimbursable Regional Programs. Enviro-pod would not be distributed
to Regions for use in SPCC and emergency programs. 0110

Water Quality - Renewable Resources (Industrial) -
(B133) REG. APPRO: R&D
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Goal: Develop and verify methodologies through a field evaluation program
(FEP) to select and implement cost-effective best management practices
(BMP) to control nonpoint source (NFS) water pollution from agricul-
tural and forestry (food, fiber and wood) production activities.
Objectives: (1) develop watershed NFS problem assessment techniques, (2)
. develop relationships between NFS pollutant loadings and water
quality, (3) establish NFS "wet weather" water quality criteria, (4)
evaluate new or improved cost-effective BMPs, and (5) develop imple-
mentation strategies for the installation and maintenance of cost-
effective BMP systems.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Accomplishments were concentrated in the development of methodologies for
control of NFS pollution. The following FY 78 ouputs will be evaluated and
erified through a field evaluation and application program in FY 79 & 80:
'!) nonpoint source models for assessment" of pesticide and nutrient losses
from agricultural and forestry lands; (2) guidelines which establish water/
:rtilizer/pesticide/sediment best management practices (BMPs) for reducing
e discharge of pollutants from irrigated crop production; (3) a detailed
nual for the evaluation and economic analysis of livestock waste pollution
;ontrol and management systems; and, (4) alternative policies for controlling
gricultural nonpoint sources.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Evaluate best management practices, including selection procedures, cost-
effectiveness, water quality relationships, new or improved implementation
strategies, and technology transfer activities for irrigated and non-irrigated
crop production, animal production and forestry management. Evaluations will
be conducted primarily through four or more controlled research evaluation
projects (midwest corn belt and irrigated west) and model implementation project
sites. Complementary in-house efforts and research grants and contracts will
also be utilized. Accomplishments will include verified BMP selection method-
ologies, documentation of the cost-effectiveness of individual BMP's, and
development of strategies for implementation of cost-effective BMPs.
Alternatives considered and rejected include: (1) a total extramural program
was rejected because it would leave EFA without the required in-house expertise
to support 208 plan review, technical, assistance, and other related NFS policy
making, (and also require a reduction in force.) (2) transfer of funds to USDA
was rejected because it would separate the agricultural runoff evaluations from
EPA's water quality management programs and also would not provide an unbiased
evaluation of environmental impacts from agricultural and forestry production
:tivities, (3) a total in-house program is not feasible since field evaluations
needed across the Nation involving the State and local researchers and/or
"Producers. .

rhe FY 1980 base level emphasizes a major shift of resources to begin a' field
evaluation program to develop a basis for selecting and implementing local
management systems for controlling nonpoint source (NFS) pollution from irri-
gated and nonirrigated crop production, animal production and forestry manage-
ment activities. Controlled demonstrations, including evaluations of Model
Implementation Program (MIP) sites under an EPA-USDA Interagency Agreement,
will be used to evaluate:
- the effectiveness of previously developed OKD methods, including models
to select best management practices (BMPs) for regional conditions in
. the irrigated, nonirrigated and animal categories.
- the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs to improve water quality and a
basic economic analysis of these BMPs in the irrigated, nonirrigated,
animal and forestry categories.
- a methodology to evaluate cost-effective monitoring strategies to
determine water quality improvement (irrigated; nonirrigated; animal;
forestry).
- the need for refinement of OKD assessment models.
- and to package and transfer information on selection and cost-effective
BMPs as soon as it is available for EPA, States and local BMP implement,
tion agencies. (To be coordinated with Technical Information Decision
Unit)
' i T
This base level will also result in continuing the annual assessment of trends
to determine whether new developments in production of renewable resources may
adversely impact the environment.
IMPACT
Funding this base level will provide minimal basic evaluations of
previously developed OKD tools to select and evaluate the cost-effec-
tiveness of BMPs to improve water quality, which is essential if EPA
is to assure that the most effective use is made of the RCWP cost-
sharing funds for agricultural pollution control authorized under
Section 208(j) of the Clean Water Act of 1977.
Not funding this level would eliminate EPAs mandated role to assure
that RCWP cost-sharing funds are effectively used to improve water
quality degraded by agricultural pollution. The authorized $600 mil-
lion under Section 208(j) could very well be misdirected to projects
In areas of the Nation that would not.improve water quality.

ACTIVITIES
An existing regional (Corn Belt) field demonstration in the nonirrigated
crop production area will be expanded to provide information on which to
base best management practice (BMP) cost-effectiveness evaluations.
The nonirrigated crop production aspects of the MIP on the Delaware River
Basin would be expanded to study and better define cost-effectiveness of
BMPs to improve water quality.

IMPACT
- Funding will result in regionalized evaluation of cost-effective BMPs in
the animal and nonirrigated crop production categories and provide imple-
mentation agencies with tools to select appropriate local BMPs.
- Failure to fund limits the precision necessary to select the most cost-
effective BMPs in local major agricultural areas and consequently would
raise the question of whether the most effective use will be made of RCWP
cost-sharing funds under 208(j) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 to improve
water quality. <

Water Quality - Monitoring Methods and Systems REQ. APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The Monitoring Methods and Systems Program involves the adaptation of
currently available or proposed analytical methods and measurement systems to
operations applications for monitoring of water quality. Analytical methods
and measurement systems often are ill-suited for field application to environ-
mental monitoring as they are developed by manufacturers or research institu-
tions. Considerable work is needed to evaluate, modify, and adapt instruments
or methods for reliable operations application in the field. The evaluation
and development work under this program provides assurance that monitoring
thods will perform reliably. An important aspect of this activity involves
establishing guidelines to systematize the monitoring of water quality for
operations applications. The benefits to the Agency are improved quality
to monitor environmental water quality in support of P.L. 92-500 and assurance
hat th« mrmirnr-intr data so obtained are reliable.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS '
To increase the reliability of effluent monitoring, improved test proce-
dures for the identification and quantification of polybrominated biphenyls,
the continuous measurement of heavy metals by x-ray fluorescence, and the
determination of volatile organics were developed and distributed for use by
the Environmental Protection Agency, States, and waste dischargers. In
:upport of pending regulations, limiting carcinogenic substances in drinking
.ter, methods for trihalomethanes and other trace organic contaminants were
andardized for Agency use. Procedures for the measurement of acute toxic-
of waste effluents were published, as required fay section 304(h) of P.L.
'2-500. A new Environmental Protection Agency publication "Microbiological
Methods for Monitoring the Environment" was prepared for distribution. These
nethods will be used for all monitoring of water and wastes for a variety of
Indicator and pathogenic microorganisms.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In FY '79, this program will emphasize the development of monitoring and
malytical reference methods; correction of deficiencies in existing reference
rocedures in support of the Agency's needs in the enforcement and monitoring
.reas, particularly in the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
'NPDES) program; evaluating, modifying, and improving techniques for monitor-
ng pollutants contained in fresh and marine waters; and providing effective
ield methods for priority pollutants required by-Consent Decree. Specific
utputs from the FY '79 program will include: (a) improved analytical test
rocedures for waste monitoring under section 304(h); (b) revised editions of
anuals for monitoring chemical pollutants, microorganisms, viruses, and
iological indicators of water quality; improved bioassay techniques for
lonitoring the toxicity of wastewaters and ambient waters; candidate reference
tethods for monitoring pathogenic microorganisms in municipal wastewaters;
evelopment and field test of analytical methods for priority pollutants
equired by Consent Decree.

ACTIVITIES
o Correct reference methods required for monitoring waters in the NPDES
program and in the enforcement of the National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations (NPDWR), and for monitoring of ambient, fresh, and marine water
for Consent Decree pollutants.
o Develop specifications for Environmental Protection Agency approved
sampling and monitoring instrumentation to enforce existing and planned
' standards and regulations for effluents and fresh water, for example,
Consent Decree pollutants.
o Develop, modify, and evaluate new or recently proposed methods or systems
for monitoring wastewater quality for NPDES.
o Regional Services Staff for Office of Research and Development Regional
liaison.
IMPACTS
o This level of effort is minimally responsive to the Court edict on Consent
Decree, as well as to sections 106, 304(g), 307(a), and 502 of P.L. 92-500.
However, this level of funding does not provide for extramural effort
needed to develop methods for recovery of viruses in large samples of water,
.or. .for development and evaluation of instruments and systems for rapidly
identifying bacterial indicators and other pathogenic forms.
o Not funding this level would eliminate all methods evaluation, modification,
and development work in response to P.L. 92-500 and cause a reduction-in-
force of 41 scientists and staff personnel. ....... . ..

pathogenic organisms in large volumes of water. It also provides for
development of a relationship between major dischargers and the analytical
parameter measurements required for identifying those factors.
o Funding this level allows for development of new and more effective
techniques for rapid identification of viruses such as infectious hepatitis,
serum hepatitis, rotovirus, etc. It also provides for development of
advanced rapid techniques for detecting pathological factors in water
systems.

ACTIVITIES
o Develop methods for associating phytoplankton populations with trophic

o Develop wide area sensors for chlorophyll and petroleum detection.
o Develop unattended waterbome pollutant sensors for specific ions, dissolved
nutrients, and pesticides.
IMPACTS
This level of funding provides a minimal program for development of in situ,
unattended, automated contact sensors for water quality monitoring. This
instrumentation has high promise for making wide area cost-effective
evaluations of water quality.
o Not funding this level would eliminate all methods development within the
Environmental Protection Agency for in situ contact sensors. It would cause
a reduction in force of eight scientists. It will also be an administrative
rejection of a request made by Senator Long of Louisiana for an expanded
program in the area of in situ contact sensor development. Senator Long
has made a strong appeal to the Administrator that such sensors would prove
to be essential support to the States to cost-effectively monitor the quality
of their navigable waters, especially in the coastal States.
o Not funding this level forces reliance upon manpower intensive sampling
methods. If these advanced sensing systems prove successful, much sampling
manpower can be freed to be used in other critical areas.

Water Quality - Quality Assurance
HQ ORD MEDIA: Water Q.
REG. APPRO: R&D
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long-range goal is to document the level of analytical measurement data
(chemical, physical, biological) quality which is needed to allow decision
makers to make decisions which cannot be challenged based on the quality of
the data (expressed in precision and accuracy); and to assure that data
needed by the Agency are produced at this minimal level of quality. Major
objectives are to provide standardized analytical measurement systems of
verified performance characteristics which are capable of generating data
of the prescribed quality, and to provide quality control materials which
assure that the measurement systems continue to perform within these
verified performance limits.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Methods Standardization; Interlaboratory studies were initiated for 20
chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides and 26 volatile organics on the Consent
Decree List, and for two methods for the analysis of radium-228 in water.
*
A draft of the "Municipal Digested Sludge Samples" manual which characterizes
ludge for 26 parameters was completed. The procedures have been verified
y three referee laboratories.
Contracts were initiated for refinements of the analytical procedures for the
analysis of haloethers in water, for the use of macroreticular resins for the
isolation and cleanup of phenols in water, for test procedures for the
analysis of tetrachlordibenzodioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls, und pesticide;
in sludges, and for field shakedown tests of procedures for organic toxic
pollutants in wastewater for the "Best Available Technology (BAT)" survey.
A contract was also awarded to correlate 304(h) test procedures with the
applicability of their use to Standard Industrial Classification codes. The
equivalency program was operated under the interim protocols. A draft final
report was received on schedule for the protocol development contract. A
request for proposal (RFP) for analytical services to validate equivalency
of analytical systems was issued. The equivalency program issued variances
for 25 alternate procedures applications for the' National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) program.
Standard Reference Materials and Samples; Sixteen thousand samples for
eleven pesticides were prepared for evaluation of water pollution (and drink-
ing water) laboratories. Eight thousand samples were prepared for nine
volatile organic pollutants, and 16,000 samples in two new series were pre-
pared for 18 volatile Consent Decree pollutants. Three thousand non-
filterable, filterable, and volatile residue quality control samples were
prepared. Two hundred thousand quality control check samples for trace
metals, nitrate/fluoride, chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, herbicides,
: minerals, and BOD were prepared. Over 5,580 analyses were performed to
rify the authenticity of these reference samples that were added to the
assurance repository. , 0128

(Continued)
A new quality control sample was developed for oil and grease measurements,
and new performance evaluation sample series were developed for cyanide and
residual chlorine analysis. Efforts to incorporate toxic substances into
plant and animal tissues to be used as reference materials were proceeding on
schedule.
Contracts for the production of quality control check samples for fish,
sediment, and biological analyses were awarded for Arochlor 1016, 1242, 'and
1254 in sediments and for PCB's in fish tissue. A contract was also awarded
for the preparation of 25,000 brain/heart infusion samples for use in
microbiological analysis quality control.
Over 1,000 quality control check samples were distributed to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), other Federal, State, and local governments, and
private laboratories for NPDES compliance and enforcement needs, for ambient
monitoring and for research. Samples distributed were for chlorophyll, PCB's,
pesticides, herbicides, volatile organics, nitrate/fluoride, trace metals,
minerals, nutrients, demands, and non-filterable residues.
Three hundred calibrated radionuclide solutions were distributed to participat-
ing Federal, State, and private laboratories for internal quality control use.;
Samples were verified by traceability to the National Bureau of Standards.
Additional radium-228 standard aqueous solutions were distributed on request.
A proposal was acted upon to establish a repository for toxic and hazardous
materials.
Laboratory Performance Evaluations; One hundred nineteen laboratories (13
EPA, 92 State, 14 others) were evaluated for 44 water pollution parameters
(including PCB's and pesticides) for their analytical proficiency at two
different levels of pollution concentrations. Seven additional laboratories
in Region V were evaluated for their proficiency in radionuclide analysis.
In the ongoing laboratory intercomparison study, 1100 samples were distributed
to 150 laboratories to evaluate their analytical proficiency for radionuclides
in milk, water, air, food, soil, and gaseous environmental samples. Five
hundred copies of the manual, "Development of a System for Conducting
Interlaboratory Tests for Water Quality and Effluent Measurements," were
distributed. A guidelines document for the quality assurance of EPA-sponsored
biological research was received in final draft and is being published.
Laboratory Automation; Improvements in the automated laboratory systems at
the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory (EMSL) and the Municipal
Environmental Research Laboratory (MERL) in Cincinnati, at Region V and
Region III were completed.
Mass Spectral Data Base; The mass spectral data base was expanded from 25,557
to 31,613 different mass spectra.

D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION ... '
f
The basic quality assurance tools (standardized measurement systems and
quality control samples) will be provided to support the current NPDES permits
system. About 45% of the additional quality assurance support required by
the Consent Decree will be provided. Quality assurance guidelines will be
extended to the area of sampling and flow measurement. The equivalency
program will be extended to include radiochemical analytical methods for
NPDES support. It will also provide for extended support of the Regional
laboratory automation efforts. Assistance will also be provided the Office
of Enforcement for implementation of a pilot program for evaluating the
performance of NPDES self-monitoring laboratories.
Alternatives Considered
The quality assurance function is an in-house, centrally managed program
which is supplemented by contractual support. No direct charges are made
upon recipients of assistance from the quality assurance program. All aspects
of participation in the program are voluntary on the part of the regulated
^miunity. The only viable alternatives would be: (1) to delegate the
m=Blity assurance program responsibilities to .the private sector consensus
Urbanizations; (2) to make the quality assurance program mandatory; or
(3) to charge for the quality assurance service. The most important argument
against each of these alternatives is that the present program is succeeding
in its efforts to Improve data quality and that other alternatives are either
not cost-effective or are dubious from a legal viewpoint.

Funding at this level will result in slippage in time tables for
analytical methods and quality control samples support for programs of the
OWWM, and for the OE and the Regions in their implementation of the man-
dates for BAT effluent guidelints of section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act.
.This level of funding will not provide standardizing nine toxic chemicals
required by section 307(a) nor will this level provide for developing
quality control samples for an additional 30 priority toxic compounds
required by section 307(a) to support BAT guidelines.
The quality assurance overview function which is so important to assure
that adequate levels of internal quality control are being used "by ~
laboratories will be maintained at.a tenuous level just above
ineffectiveness.
There will be no follow-on program to the pilot program to evaluate NPDES

o Analytical methods standardization and performance evaluation outputs
essentially will be maintained at the volume which is responsive to the
needs of the Effluent Guidelines Division within the OWWM. This effort
will also be expanded at this level to include standardization and
performance evaluations of analytical methods to measure organic p'ollutants
in sludges. The extremely important areas of standardization of methods
for purgeables in wastewater and metals in marine waters cannot be
pursued at this level. These are two areas which are critical to program
support for the OWWM.
o At this level, the analyst performance evaluation sample repository-will
be maintained at a level which will suffice to support analyst performance
proficiency evaluations for the currently enforced Best Practicable
Technology (BET) effluent guidelines. It will not be adequate to support
II evaluations of analysts performing the more complicated analysis demanded
" by the Consent Decree, nor will it support any proficiency evaluations of
analysts performing biological analyses.
o At this level, no surrogate biological analytical methods can be considered
for standardization and. performance evaluations. The OE and the Regional
'Offices place such methods at high priority as screening and flagging tools
for toxic pollution control in industrial and municipal discharges.
*"'o Quality assurance samples development for toxic materials in sludges will
also not be possible at this level. .
o Most importantly, the quality assurance overview function which includes
a comprehensive program for the evaluation of NPDES laboratories for pro-
" ficiency approval and/or certification cannot be accomplished at this
level of funding. Also, equally important in this quality assurance.
overview function, large contracts which are being awarded to develop data
bases to characterize the nature of industrial and municipal effluents can-
hot be supported with adequate quality assurance safeguards to assure the
credibility of the data bases generated.

o Develop quality control samples for a priority radionuclide in an appro-
priate industrial sludge and add to the repository for support of the
NPDES permits program. ._..-'
IMPACTS
Surrogate biological methods for measuring toxic pollutants in industrial
wastewater and sludges are urgently needed by the Regions to use as screen-
ing tools in lieu of chemical analysis for each of the currently regulated
poll'utants in the 40 CFR 136 regulation or included in the Consent Decree
list of pollutants. Although biological methods of analysis are expensive
vhen they are used as screening tests for toxic pollutants regulated under
the authority of section 53 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 which amends
section'309 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,
the net cost to the Regions will be less using a single biological
'screening test than it will be using multiple chemical tests.
Fretreatment standards and industrial discharges to publicly owned
treatment works require sludges resulting from the publicly owned
treatment works to be disposed of in environmentally compatible ways.
Sludges will need to be accurately measured for compounds which are not
environmentally compatible for designated disposal -sites. Quality
control samples of Consent Decree pollutants in sludges will need to be
available to reliably make these measurements.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the Great Lakes Research Program is to provide a scientific
basis for assessing the source, fate, effects and the importance of pollutant
in the Great Lakes. An integral part of the program is to develop and
improve predictive models of pollutants to aid management strategies and to
protect and enhance water qfiality. This research supports the U.S. -
Canadian International Agreement (1972) to study the Lakes system and ""~
manage it to prevent deterioration of these water resources.
The objectives of the research program are to characterize pollution
problems of the Great Lakes, determine the dynamic processes affecting
pollution of large lakes, and develop predictive methods for describing
the fate and effects of pollutants in the Great Lakes. Emphasis will be
on the verification of phosphorus-phytoplankton models that have been used
in load reduction simulations. New research will be on the fate of hazardous
substances in the Great Lakes.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1. Development of optimization methodology for establishing maximum cost/
benefit ratios related to trend monitoring in large lake ecosystems.
2. Development and calibration methodology for estimating the impacts of
once through cooling systems of power generation facilities on fish
populations.
3. Developed and used a hydrodynamic simulation tool.In.assessing
the potential effects of a dredge spoil disposal area proposed in
Western Lake Erie.

4. Development of new techniques for analysis of the impacts of toxic
pollutants on bioaccumulation phenomena which enable mathematical
simulation of these effects.
5. Development and preliminary testing of an- hypothesis of particulate
associated loss rate.mechanisms related to toxic substances.
6. Development of a management tool to estimate the phosphorus reductions
necessary to effect positive changes in Lake Erie.
7. Preliminary development of simulation devices for toxic substances in
large ecosystems has been completed. In-house efforts oriented toward
Saginaw Bay have been carried forward for PCB's and for particulate
associated heavy metals.

. Continue studies on the dispersion and fate of contaminants in a
stratified lake with emphasis on the deoxygenation in the hypolimnion
of Lake Erie.
. Continue the quantitative characterization of Great Lakes phytoplankton
populations including their distribution and modification as a result
of environmental stress.
Impacts;
The Great Lakes, because of their importance and size, deserve and require
a concerted effort to guarantee their production. This effort supports
P.L. 92-500, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
program and is responsive to the 1909 Boundary Water Agreement and the
US/Canadian Agreement.
Funding at this level of effort provides for a minimal program on Great Lakes
research problems. Some on-going extramural research will have to be reduced
and new starts or expansion in critical areas will be severely curtailed.
These large lake systems need to be characterized in their entirety through
useable model development and resources at this level provides only for a
sub-maintenance program. Output from some studies that have been sequentially
developed over the past several years will be seriously jeopardized.

MEDIA:Water Q.
APPRO: R&D
B) (LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The goal of the Chesapeake Bay Program is to develop a management system that
will protect and preserve the water quality to Chesapeake Bay by effectively
managing its uses and resources.
The objectives are 1) to determine, define and improve governmental management
responsibilities of the Bay, 2) assess the principal factors having an adverse
impact on the environmental quality and direct and coordinate research to
effectively address these factors and 3) analyze environmental sampling data,
suggest and undertake methods for improving data collection, establishing the
capability to collect, store, analyze and disseminate information and initiate
sampling programs where needed.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1). Developed a program plan for studying the Chesapeake Bay including an
extramural program to assess toxic material transport and effects within
the aquatic system.
) Undertook an assessment to understand the significance of historical trends
and reasons for changes of rooted aquatic vegetation.
3) Through trend analysis and studies in selected representative drainage
basins eutrophication of the system was delineated.
4) Coordinated the involvement of citizen and state regulatory personnel
in planning and managing the program.
5) Developed a relationship among program offices and Region III
personnel in relating Bay Program to regional and other national program
goals.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1) Continue the integrated program to develop a predictive capacity to assess
the effect of pollutant loadings to the system. Develop a source assess-
ment for toxic substances and nutrients entering the estuarine system
from point and non point sources. Validate transport and fate models
for- toxic substances in the system and evaluate the hazard to the ecosystem
and to human health through the use of exposure effects models (process
studies). Data acquisition and synthesis will evaluate control options
to halt eutrophication and major ecosystem changes such as disappearance
of submerged aquatic vegetation.
f
Monitoring program will quantify, atmospheric loadings of toxic substances
and nutrients to the drainage basin, and to the bay.
3) Coordinate research and share information with the Department of the Interior
studies of the Potoaac Estuary to record the ecosystem changes under changing
waste management strategy.

Activities
'. This level continues the program of integrated studies initiated in FY78
so,that management decisions at all the government levels can be based
on a predictive capacity to assess the consequences of pollutant
loadings on the Chesapeake Bay in terms of effects on the ecosystem,
on organisms, on human health, and on the economic impact of the
uses made of the system. The three highest priority problem area
studies will be continued through ecosystem simulation, data acquisition
and synthesis, and through identification and evaluation of control
alternatives in conjunction with .the abatement and control decision
units of this program.
. Toxic Substances Management: The source assessment studies will be
comprehensive analyses of the introduction of pollutants into the
Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem from point and non-point sources. This
information will be used to predict current and future loadings
under a series of alternative development projections and management
strategies. The transport and fate models developed and verified
for selected sub-estuaries will be expanded to develop bay-wide
projections. These projections will be used in exposure effect models
to evaluate the management strategies proposed to achieve environmental
goals, standards, and criteria.
. The eutrophication and rooted aquatic vegetation management units will
produce final bay-wide assessments of projected ecosystem changes. The
reports will be integrated into and will guide abatement and control
development projects designed to mitigate specific non-acceptable
trends.
. , ;, . Continue a study program with other agencies to evaluate the water
quality problems induced by dredging and spill disposal and various
.hydrological modifications. Develop management strategies to mitigate
these problems and supplement the Department of Interior studies on the
Potomac Estuary. These efforts are directed toward hydrologic and basic
water quality models which will provide information to evaluate the
impact of modified waste treatment strategies on this major tributary
estuary.
. Initiate a bay-wide system of monitoring stations to develop information
on the inputs of nutrients and toxic substances to the basin. This
component will be linked to loadings models in 1980. Q1 LQ

Funding this level will provide national direction to parts of the AgencyVs
national FY 78-83 funding strategy for Regional, State, and local programs.
Emphasizes the national importance placed on 208 plan implementation. Pub-
lishes criteria numbers as guidance to States for water quality standards
development and to guideline development for BAT. Expands the substances
regulated under section 311 to increase the protection to humans for cancer
and other long term health risks.
Not funding this level would result in lack of coordinated and balanced long-
range water quality program. EPA would be moving away from national emphasis
on 208 plan implementation, undermining 208 program credibility, and disrupt-
ing continuation planning where implementation is delayed. 015**

and SDWA in accordance with the AA's directive on consolidating public
participation:
- Clean Lakes; Provide Regions with assistance to resolve issues arising in
awarded projects to preserve a nationally consistant clean lakes program
effort. Review State/EPA Agreements for their consistency and effective-
ness in controlling lake eutrophication and the improvement of lake water
quality through implementation of necessary restorative actions. Conduct
site visits to complex, environmentally sensitive clean lake projects to
evaluate operational effectiveness of the national program. Review grant
assistance requests. Provide administrative attention to awarded projects.
-Water Strategy: Include State, regional and local participation.
Funding of this level will allow development of Agency-wide approaches to
integration of major water quality related programs through State/EPA
Agreements. Overlap and duplication among Agency programs in their WQM
related public participation strategies and requirements on State and local
governments will be avoided. Publishing the Section 304(j) report will
provide the most current proven lake restoration methodologies for maximum
program effectiveness.

MEDIA: Water Q
APPRO: A & C
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goals of this decision unit are to ensure the development and
implementation of comprehensive integrated State/EPA Agreements for all OWWM
programs; develop technical, institutional and financial mechanisms at State
areawide and local levels to assure successful management of surface and
groundwater resources; promote the development and implementation of
techniques, management practices and regulatory programs to control non-point
sources of pollution; promote the consideration of cost effective alternat-
ives to advanced waste treatment construction and assure that effective pre-
treatment and industrial source control programs are implemented; provide for
effective public participation in water quality management; implement and
evaluate clean lake grants to restore the quality of the nations publically
owned freshwater lakes ;1 and assure that State water quality standards are
revised to include criteria for all listed toxic.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Through the end of FY 1978, 179 draft plans will have been submitted by
States of Areawide Agencies. States will have submitted 13 of these
draft plans for review for certification.
- Complete formal approval/disapproval action on nearly 100 submitted plans.
- Implemented solutions to nearly 200 problems which were developed as parts
of section 208 plans. Highest priority problem areas were municipal waste
water, urban runoff, and agricultural NFS.
- Awarded approximately 90 continuation grants.
- Negotiated with all States, for implementation in FY 1979, State/EPA
Agreements covering 106, 205(a), 208, 303, 314, and other WQM-related
programs.
- Reviewed clean lake grant proposals and provided recommendations as to the
appropriate funding action.
- Provided overall grant administration of on going lake restoration project
--Assisted in the development of 5 State water quality standard promulgation
actions.
- Approved 10 State water quality standards.
- Disapproved 8 State water quality standard actions.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Water Quality Management (WQM) program will be entering a new phase of
implementing FY 1979 and negotiating FY 1980 State/EPA Agreements (SEA) which
will guide coordinated and phased WQM programs. This is the most important
activity in FY 1979. Initial planning will be completed for most areawide
agencies at the end of FY 1978, and for Statewide agencies by July, 1979.
Thus, overseeing the implementation of initial plans will be a major area of
program activity. Completing the review and approval of initial plans, and
awarding new grants to States and successful areawide agencies will continue
as a major workload. The Agency will continue to provide assistance to States
through the clean lakes restoration program. In FY 1979, the States will
begin to inventory their eutrophic lakes. EPA will provide assistance to the
States in this inventory and address a priority of needs as determined by the
inventory. In addition, major efforts will be required to assure that State
water quality standards are revised and/or promulgated. 016^*

- State/EPA Agreements (SEAs) consolidating Water Quality Management pro-
grams (208/106/314/205(g)) obtained in over 30 States. Five SEAs will
achieve broader Intra-agency water quality related program integration
(e.g. with RCRA, SDWA). About 1/4 of the Sea's achieved with fully
adequate RO guidance, review, and coordination.
- 208 planning funds will be only partially obligated (approximately $50M) .
Regions will award all other funds, but will only anually monitor State
program outputs. Roughly 5 new planning Agency designations will be
approved. Most Regions will conduct planning oversight and review at
minimal levels; they will primarily allocate limited resources to
priority projects.
- Nationally, implementation oversight, including management Agency review
and approval, will be conducted at minimal levels.
- Three of the Regions will adequately attend to either public participation
(PP) planning oversight or Regional implementation of PP strategy. The
other 7 provide only minimal attention to both aspects of public parti-
cipation in water quality management.
- Review clean lakes grant proposals received and prepare appropriate
funding recommendations within a 45-day time period for each grant
application.
- Provide minimal guidance and assistance to the States and the public on
appropriate requirements and procedures for securing clean lakes grants
assistance.
- Six Regions will give minimal attention to State water quality standards
revisions. The remaining four Regions will promulgate or approve State
water quality standards as appropriate.

DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Sixteen additional SEAs are negotiated integrating RCRA, SDWA, and/or
air quality management programs. SEA interprogram guidance is generally
adequate at this level in all the Regions.
All agencies meeting continuing funding criteria will be funded at lower
levels. Agencies needing extra Regional effort to achieve success will
not be funded. Half of Regions perform adequate planning oversight at
this level, others will sustain only minimal levels of this activity.
Half of the Regions can adequately review all management Agency
designations.
One additional Region becomes adequate in public participation oversight,
bringing the national totals to 8 Regions adequate in this regard. Three
of these Regions are also adequate in Regional public involvement strategy
implementation.
Section 106 program review and operation oversight is adequate at this
level in three additonal Regions, bringing 6 Regions above the minimal
level in one of these aspects of State grants management.

FORM1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ OWWM MEDIA: Water Q
Effluent Standards and Guidelines - B206 REG. APPRO:A & C
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goal of this decision unit is the restoration and maintenance
of the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters.
That goal will be accomplished by establishing effluent limitation
guidelines to which industrial polluters must adhere in discharging effluents
into public waterways.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Initiated and continued the technical and economic studies required to
develop Best Available Technology (BAT), New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS), and pretreatment standards for the industries identified in the
Settlement Agreement between EPA and NRDC; Developed information for
response to legal challenges; Began study of toxic removal capability of
'OTW's; Began studies of industry Best Management Practices (BMP's);
Finalized pretreatment strategy and issued general pretreatment regulations;
Continued environmental studies of geographic distribution and exposure/
risk of selected priority pollutants.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The 1979 program will continue the efforts of 1978, with emphasis upon
the development of regulations (BAT, NSPS, Pretreatment) aimed at the
major industrial polluters. New activities will also be begun: Best
Conventional Control Technology (BCT) studies, studies of industry Best
Management Practics (BMP's) for raw material storage and in-plant spills,
measures to add substances to the Administrator's list of toxic pollutants,
and study of influent, effluent and sludge data from POTW's to determine the
fate (treatability) of toxic pollutants, as part of agency's POTW toxics
control strategy. Economic impact analyses will be carried out concurrently
with all technical studies.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Revise BAT, NSPS and Pretreatment standards for the last 8 of the 21
industries identified in the Settlement Agreement between EPA and
NRDC et. al.: plus Iron & Steel. Continue environmental risk assess-
ment for BAT industries. Increase technical, statistical and economic
analysis for response to litigation and remands for 13 BAT industries,
and provide technical support for the Regions. Continue development
of BCT regulations for secondary industries. Continue development
of supplemental regulations to control poor management practices with
(BMP's), including sludge, leaks, and spills. Continue integration
of effluent limitation developments with other OWPS and Agency programs,
and continue coordination of distribution and analysis of data collection
instruments. Increase statistical basis and technical support for
effluent guidelines. Increase economic impact analysis of BAT for primary
industries, and initiate economic analyses for BPT and BCT. Continue
identification of toxic pollutants and publish additions to the 307(a) "Toxic
Pollutants" list. Review water quality based standards and coordinate
implementation with technically based guidelines.
Impact
Not funding this level will cause EPA to violate the terms of the
Settlement Agreement and will leave the agency with no BAT regulations
for eleven primary industries; cause litigation against the Agency,
relative to its BAT regulations, to go substantially unchallenged, and
presumably result in EPA's being forced by court order to restudy
several industries; result in potentially adverse economic impacts
from regulatory changes caused by litigation and remands; cause permits
to be kept at BPT levels or to be based on best engineering judgement, thereby
resulting in serious resource implications for the EPA permit authorities,
and eliminate an integral part of the Agency's toxics strategy and the
only means available to control some sources of pollution (BMP's for
raw material storage, leaks and spills).

Identification of selected pollutants of national concern for which BAT
regulations will not provide adequate environmental protection. Improve
program effectiveness by evaluating interrelated water activities.
Continue FY 1979 multi-media POTW toxics control strategy by collecting
and analyzing toxics data from infiltration and runoff, and by continuing
to develop industrial pretreatment standards. Develop BCT regulations
for an additional group of primary industries. Continue development of
regulations for BMP's. Increase analytical support including development
of analytical methods and quality assurance of both methods and laboratories.
Impact
Funding this level will enable OWPS to conduct in-house assessment of
all water related activities; allow the agency to expand its 307(a)
"Toxic Pollutants" list and thereby identify troublesome pollutants
before they become public issues; provide much needed information on
toxics from infiltration and runoff and provide the capability to implement
the municipal pretreatment requirements of the 1977 Clean Water Amendments;
provide BCT development for additional primary industries; and enable
the Agency to establish controls over sludge and waste disposal.
Not funding this level will cause a serious delay in the implementa-
tion of the Section 307(b) (municipal pretreatment regulations) of the
1977 Clean Water Amendments; and delay the development of BCT regulations
for the primary industries.

toxic industrial input, and sludge effects. Continue coordination of
pretreatment regulations implementation. Increase statistical support
for BCT regulation development and POTW toxics control strategy. Develop
and evaluate programs within OWPS to assure consistency of program
objectives with OWPS toxics strategy and with other Agency objectives.
Coordinate pretreatment guidance within agency to assure consistency of
approach in implementing EPA's pretreatment strategy.
Funding this level will allow complete BCT regulations for primary
industries and substantial development of BMP regulations; and permit
identification and control of specific toxics from domestic sources.
Not funding this level will prevent the repair through BCT regulations,
of "Old" BAT regulations; and result in the control of toxics from
domestic sources on a general, rather than specific, basis.

Development of recycle, reuse and water conservation guidelines for
industries which are 3 of the largest national water users and, which
will provide significant potential for reducing water use and for reduction
in the discharge of toxic pollutants. This effort includes the incorporatior
of related Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements
with regard to the disposal of hazardous waste material to an acceptable
environmental level. Perform initial economic impact analyses of BMP
proposals to allow a combined economic analysis of effluent guidelines
requirements and RCRA requirements as they apply to specific industrial
categories. Produce guidance to permitting authorities for determining
non-conventional pollutant wasteload allocations needed to issue 301(g)
waivers. Complete development of supplemental regulations for the Best
Management Practices (BMP's). Continue multi-media POTW toxics control
strategy by conducting field work to characterize toxics from infiltration
and runoff. Increase economic impact analyses and technical support of
litigation and remands. Increase study of potentially hazardous pollutants
for addition to the "Toxic Pollutant" list.
Impact
Funding this level will enable the Agency to further identify troublesome
pollutants before they become public issues; to expand the list of
hazardous substances subject to control under the toxics strategy;
allow recycle/reuse technology, including innovative technology, to be
developed for three of the heaviest polluting BAT industries; allow
complete development of BMP regulations; and provide characterizations
from infiltration and runoff.
Not funding this level could seriously impair implementation of the
Agency's overall toxic strategy by limiting the "Toxic Pollutants" list
to its present level; run the risk of not identifying potentially
deadly pollutants (e.g. PCB, Kepone, Mercury) which might be discovered
through further 307(a) study; and prevent completion of BMP regulation
development; and leave the Agency without recycle/reuse technology for
three of the heaviest polluting BAT industries.

and management of a Corps of Engineers or State permit program for the
environmentally protective discharge of dredged or fill material.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Expanded review of section 404 permits to include Phase III. Phase III
requires a permit beyond traditionally navigable waters and their major
tributaries to the remaining water of the United States.
- Continued assessment of various test procedures for revision to the test
manual to provide procedures to identify the quality of the proposed
discharge.
- Drafted final section 404 guidelines for dredged or fill disposal site
selection.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
- Promulgate administrative and substantive State program operational
regulations.
- Promulgate section 404(b)(l) environmental regulations.
- Promulgate section 404(c) veto guidance.
- Develop strategies and policies for transfer of program to States and
review of State program applications.
- Provide program policy and implementation to Regions on the section 404
permit review program.
- Participate in the review of section 208 best management practices.
- Coordinate section 404 activities with other Federal agencies as required
by law.
These functions are basic to the national management of the section 404
program. Input to the section 208 BMP will ensure conformity with
section 404(b)(l) guidelines. Funding this level will provide a minimal
section 404 national program, but one that can operate only at about 40 per-
cent effectiveness.
Not funding this level would eliminate EPA's efforts, leaving full responsi-
bilities to States or the COE; fewer State program approvals would be
expected to result. There would be no national EPA section 404 program.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
- Exercise vetoes of environmentally unacceptable dredge or fill discharge
activities through section 404(c) authority.
- Coordinate overall technical review and comment on State program and
on general and individual permit applications.
- Develop and implement policy for the transfer of section 404 program
to States.
- Evaluate effectiveness of operating State programs to recommend to the
Administrator their continued approval or withdrawal.
- Provide recommendations on 25 percent of controversial permit proposals.
Funding this level will facilitate the transfer of section 404 program to
States as mandated by the Clean Water Act. A program to evaluate operating
State programs is essential to the program's effectiveness. Review of a
minimal number of controversial permit proposals would be possible.
Not funding this level would seriously disrupt the section 404 program,
because vetoes of unacceptable permits would not occur.

- Review and concur on approval of new State program applications for
assuming the permit program for Phases II and III waters and on best
management practices under section 208(b) (A).
- Investigate categories of discharge to identify those, with potential f.or
regulatory exclusion from section 404(j) review by EPA.
Conduct Regional/State workshops on transfer of section 404 programs to
States.
- Participate in EPA/COE Research Committee to continue sound program
research that will provide for environmental protection.
- Review and provide for recommendations on an additional 25 percent of the
controversial permit proposals.
Funding this level will provide States having inadequate capabilities with
the necessary guidance/training to qualify for operating their own section 404
programs.
Not funding this level will impair significantly the process of approving
State programs to assume permitting responsibility for Phase II and III
waters, which clearly was the intent and thrust of the 1977 Clean Water Act
Amendments.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Plan and implement EPA policies and programs for spill prevention and
response for oil and hazardous substances spills at the site of the spill.
Take actions under other emergency programs to mitigate environmental
emergencies.
0 Respond to all spills of oil into inland waters of the U.S. where
presence of a Federal On-Scene Coordinator is required to
direct Federally funded cleanup operations.
0 Respond to spills of hazardous substances regulated by Sec. 311.
0 Implement an aggressive spill prevention program.
0 Assist in Federally declared emergencies/disasters.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Regional spill response personnel were able to respond to the severest
oil spills and certain ad hoc responses to hazardous substances spills.
Within resource limitations the oil pollution prevention program was
continued with facility inspections, amendment of Spill/Prevention
Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans. Many regional personnel attended
the EPA On-Scene Coordinators courses on hazardous substances.
Regional plans and procedures for response to hazardous substances
and environmental emergencies were prepared and in some cases implemented.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Highest regional priority will be response to the most severe oil and
hazardous substances spills. These are spills presenting the most
serious threat to the public health, drinking water supplies and the
environment. Increased emphasis will be placed on hazardous substances
regulated under Sec. 311. Contingency plan revisions to incorporate
hazardous substances and environmental emergencies are projected. The
alternative to EPA's efforts is to induce increased involvement by the
States in Sec. 311 response and prevention programs. Legislative changes
to Sec. 311 would be required and a significant effort in training would
be required.

0 Respond to Section 311 hazardous substances spills into inland waters
that directly affect public water supplies and require a Federal OSC.
0 Respond under emergency provisions of Section 504 if spills described
above involve non-311 hazardous substances.
0 Conduct compliance inspections for oil spill prevention when the spills
described above occur at a non-transportation related facility.
0 Respond to disasters on an ad hoc basis only when requested by
Federal Disaster Assistance Administration.
This represents the minimum level at which a national oil and hazardous
substances spill prevention and response program can operate. Funding
would assure that Federal assistance needs, primarily in the areas of water
supply and treatment would be identified in a disaster. This level would
allow a minimal planning effort, the effectiveness and coordination of
those response actions that are taken would be limited, Response actions
under Sec. 311 oil and hazardous substances regulations and Sec. 504
environmental emergency actions would be limited to the most severe incidents
affecting public drinking water supplies. A minimum oil pollution
prevention program could be conducted.
No funds would preclude any Federal response to inland spills. Conse-
quences would vary according to the States' current program for response
and prevention. Few states have a working response capability.

0 Inspect Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC)
Plans at facilities that have had a major oil spill.
This level will allow responses to more spills. The oil pollution
prevention program would be slightly increased, although main emphasis
would remain with spill response actions. Level 1 limitations on the
types of spills will apply.
Not funding this level would mean that 80% of the major oil spills into
inland waters which require Federal response actions would not be
responded to by a Federal OSC. Only the most severe hazardous substance
incidents would receive response actions. Section 504 response would be
limited to the most severe incidents directly affecting drinking water
supplies. Only limited corrective action could be taken to prevent the
recurrence of spills from non-transportation facilities which have
already experienced a spill. No prevention efforts at other oil
handling facilities.

Respond to 25% of the major oil and hazardous substances spills.
Monitor cleanup actions by the spiller of all environmentally
significant oil and hazardous substances spills.
0 Participate in all coastal zone RRT activities where EPA
technical knowledge is clearly needed.
Implement a limited oil pollution prevention program at problem
facilities other than facilities which experience major spills.
Appoint a disaster assistance coordinator and participate in activities
of the Coastal Regional Response Teams involving severe spills.
This level will allow a Federal response action to 75% of the major oil
spills and hazardous substances spills which require a Federal OSC. A
limited oil pollution prevention program can be initiated and planning
of a Regional Disaster Assistance Program can begin. EPA monitoring of
cleanup actions by the spiller will include all environmentally significant
spills.
Failure to fund this level will mean that only one-half of the major
polluting incidents occurring on inland waters will be adequately handled
by EPA OSC's. A major set back would be the loss of the critical
prevention program which cannot be implemented at lower levels of funding.
The further loss of spill cleanup supervision of the spiller's actions and
the planning and coordinating activities of the RRTs will serve to provide
only a minimum Federal spill program.

Perform exposure/risk analyses for 20 more toxic pollutants to assess
post-BAT requirements.
Use chemical and existing biological data to identify Paragraph 12 toxics
"hot spots". Manage contracts for Regional toxics data collection.
Provide environmental input for BAT, pretreatment, and new source
performance standards.
Guide Regions and States in use of total maximum daily loads and
wasteload allocations to control toxic and other pollutants.
Operate the National Water Quality Surveillance System.
Operate the water quality data base computer system.
Develop documentation for court defense for 10 industries.
Coordinate Standing Work Group on water monitoring and implement
recommendations of CEQ/Interagency Task Force on Water Data and
Monitoring.
Impact
0
Operation of a national monitoring program at this level would provide
little ability to redirect state monitoring participation, and would
provide limited toxics assessments and exposure/risk studies for the
toxics Settlement Agreement.
Not funding this level would eliminate the national water quality
monitoring program, and severely impair EPA's ability to fulfill the
EPA/NRDC toxics Settlement Agreement which requires toxics exposure/risk
and industrial/environmental assessments, the identification of toxic
"hot spots," and control of toxics in areas where BAT will not meet water
quality standards. The reduction would seriously limit the function and
203 operation of all Agency programs that require water quality and toxics
information.

Activities
- Complete 15 industrial/environmental assessments for BAT review and
toxic "hot spot" identification for the Consent Decree.
Store and analyze toxics data including effluent data for toxic "hot
spot" identification.
Provide guidance to redirect State monitoring strategies to support
Advance Wastewater Treatment (AWT) and toxics assessments.
- Screen existing data to identify potential toxics problem in drinking
water sources for toxic "hot spot" identification and exposure/risk
assessments. Supply results to the drinking water program.
Use existing data to determine amounts and levels of toxics in
industrial sludges after pretreatment (16 of 36 industries) for
development of pretreatment standards.
Use existing data to determine amounts and levels of toxics in POTW
sludges with and without pretreatment (other than activated sludge
facilities, sludges, and oily wastes) for the pretreatment strategy and
other regulatory strategies and options.
Locate toxics "hot spots" by performing 6 specific toxic effluent
studies (dilution studies) to determine adequacy of Best Available
Technology control.
Complete and oversee implementation of strategy to impose controls more
stringent than Best Available Technology where necessary, add or remove
substances to Sec. 307(a)(1) list.
Impact;
Producing the outputs at this level would enable some redirection of
state monitoring programs with limited guidance and review.
Headquarters toxics monitoring activities will consist of managing
Regional efforts and minimal support to control of toxics in those
areas requiring treatment greater than Best Available Technology.
Computer system could store toxics data with minimal analysis
capability.
Not funding this level would impair guidance and direction to Regions
and States. Toxics protocol and quality assurance requirements would
not be developed for BAT development. Minimal effort would be applied
to control of toxics in those areas requiring treatment greater than
Best Available Technology. Computer system would be maintained at
current level with limited toxics capability.

Activities;
Identify and document toxic pollutants for toxic controls under
National Water Quality Standards and under Section 37(a)(2) (more
stringent than BAT controls).
Redirect States and Regions to begin using biological monitoring as a
screening technique for toxics.
Produce guidance for the review of Advanced Wastevater Treatment (AWT)
projects to determine adequacy of technical justification.
Begin categorizing the biological integrity and health of the nation's
streams.
Develop 10 water quality profiles for characterizing critical stream
segments.
Impact;
This level will allow for basic toxics data collection and analyses for
toxics exposure/risk studies and court defense of 10 BAT industries,
completion of the pilot biological monitoring project, and an analysis
of the effectiveness and uses of biological monitoring to locate and
identify toxic pollutants.
Not funding this level would jeopardize the court defenses of BAT law
suits, and would provide little ability for assessing or projecting the
causes, effects, or extents of toxic pollution.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
This level contains funds to purchase laboratory and sampling equipment for
Regional laboratories.
Funding is necessary to maintain a minimal proficiency of EPA laboratories
to meet the demands for support of Regional high-priority programs
including:
Integrated toxics monitoring
NPDES compliance monitoring
Effluent guidelines development
Emergency response, including hazardous materials
Non-criteria; criteria pollutants
Drinking water
Quality assurance
Enforcement case preparation
EPA works with state and local agencies with responsibility for
environmental monitoring. Technical assistance, in terms of providing
analysis of non-routine parameters (e.g., noncriteria air pollutants,
trihalomethanes, PCBs, etc.), bio-monitoring, and quality assurance is
provided.
BENEFITS OF FUNDING/CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING THIS LEVEL
The equipment to be purchased at this level is necessary for the collection
and analysis of toxics samples under the NRDC Consent Decree. Alternatives
considered include operation with existing equipment, placing
responsibility upon the States, contracting, and interagency agreements.
Existing equipment is not capable of analyzing most non-routine parameters,
States are not equipped, and cost of contracting for these services is
prohibitive. These are not considered viable options.

tion grants program operations and policy development. It will provide
the necessary guidance, policy direction, regulations, and management
support to implement new Clean Water Act. It will not provide central
assistance or management decisions necessary to properly coordinate
program.
o Not funding this initial Level will prevent implementation by EPA of
Title II of the Clean Water Act. H99C

o Perform studies to determine Corps IAG effectiveness and to determine
adequacy of State resources under delegation.
:MPACT OF NOT FUNDING THIS LEVEL:
No central assistance will be provided to Regions to resolve difficult
innovative and alternative technology problems, thus raising potential of
inadequate EPA review and major problems later on.
Guidance in a number of technical areas will not be developed, thus
limiting Regional ability to implement Agency initiatives.
Only limited assistance would be provided to Regions and States related to
delegation and no overall assessment of policy could be performed,
potentially slowing down delegation and raising question of EPA commitment
in this area.

ACTIVITIES:
o Increase I&A technical staff by 3 workyears to total of 6 (5-Cinn., 1-Ada)
o Negotiate contract for review of A/E sugagreements in Regions, thus saving
considerable EPA resources.
o Provide assistance on innovative/alternative technology provided as
necessary to Cites, States, A/E firms.
o Increase facility plans investigated (from external requests) by 10 to 40
total.
o Develop current capital costs information for EPA and general public use.
o Continue study of construction management techniques and underground
construction technology from FY 1979.
o Provide 40 additional visits (to 80 total) to Regions to review and
monitor program operations.
o Provide technical and legal assistance to grantees under 203E provided
(A/E contract management).
o Investigate additional outside technical problems (10 total) related to
design and construction upon request of Regions, States or Cities.
o Perform 50 additional facility plan quality reviews, to meet target of 100
IMPACT OF NOT FUNDING THIS LEVEL:
Very little assistance through Cincinnati and Ada will be provided for
innovative and alternative technology support, creating a backlog of
requests and a slowing down of grant program.
Facility planning assistance limited to 75% of total requests and 50% of
quality review target, thus creating backlog and hurting effectiveness of
facility planning policy.
No assistance provided to municipalities under 203E (A/E contract
assistance), thus causing implmentation of this Section of Act to be
deferred.
Program management assistance to Regions limited to 1 visit per quarter pei
Region, creating major Headquarters/Region coordination problem and
limiting ability of Regions to follow national policy.
Headquarters technical research in construction management and underground
construction technology eliminated.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
ACTIVITIES:
The $2.5 million increment at this level is provided to continue funding
of contract for technical review of applications under Section 301(h),
marine discharge permit modifications. The contract will fund sufficient
manpower to complete 100 applications, at $25,000 per application, given
that a single application will take _6 workmonths to complete. This
contract will be negotiated and begun in FY 1979.
IMPACT OF NOT FUNDING THIS LEVEL:
The applications received under this legislative provision cannot be
properly reviewed and followed through without contract support.
Not providing this follow on funding would stop the work begun in FY 1979
and raise serious questions regarding EPA credibility in this highly
sensitive area.

Municipal Waste Treatment Facil. Constr. (B230) 'u:(' x Ai'l'iu) A&C
U) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goal of the construction grants program under Title II of
the Clean Water Act is to eliminate the municipal discharge of untreated or
inadequately treated pollutants and thereby help restore or maintain the
quality of the Nation's waters and protect the health and well being of the
people. The major objectives are:
o To achieve the most cost-effective, environmentally sound, and timely
abatement of municipal pollution through proper planning, design, and
construction of treatment works.
o To protect the fiscal and technical integrity of the program through
sound management and close project oversight.
o To encourage maximum State participation in program administration
through delegation of Federal activities under Section 205(g) of the Clea
Wstfiir A,ct
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o Award approximately $2.1 billion in grants, comprising 1,050 Step 1,
1,078 Step 2, and 885 Step 3 awards, resulting by year end in
approximately 11,198 active projects in various stages of planning,
design, and construction.
o Make payments totalling $3.1 billion, and complete 803 Step 3
(construction) projects during the year.
o Implement, through Region/Corps Division negotiations and staff training,
the Corps interagency agreement, resulting in the addition of 600 Corps
personnel to the total resource base by the end of FY 1978.
o Complete the final regulations for Title II of the CWA and begin their
implementation across all States, particularly in areas related to
innovative & alternative technology, improved cost-effectiveness guide-
lines in facility planning, long term priority list management, small
systems, public participation, pretreatment, and advanced waste treatment
control.
o Begin contact with State offices to negotiate and-implement delegation
agreements under Section 205(g) of the CWA.
o Complete interoffice Municipal Enforcement Strategy in Regional Offices
to coordinate grants scheduling and enforcement actions against non-
complying municipalities.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The program in FY 1979 is in a transition phase resulting from the many
changes that have occurred over the last year, including (a) the new
legislative mandates under the Clean Water Act, (b) the use of the Corps for
construction grants management, (c) the major Agency emphasis on State
delegation, (d) the renewed push for integration of the grants program into an
overall Agency environmental effort, (e) the new Congressional requirement for
closer scrutiny of advanced waste treatment (AWT) projects, and (f) the
renewed requirement (evidenced in multiple GAO reports) for close fiscal and
environmental management of projects throughout the grants process. These
new thrusts coexist with the current legislative requirement to fully obligate
all FY 1978 funds by Sept. 30, 1979 to avoid reallotment of funds.

ACTIVITIES;
o Award 702 Step 1 (47% of expected demand), 1,095 Step 2 (55% of expected
demand), and 1,339 Step 3 grants (61% of expected demand), totalling $2.6
billion of the $8.6 billion expected to be available for obligation in
FY 1980.
o Environmental Management: The Regions will provide a basic level of fr|ant
end project management to ensure that projects meet the environmental
standards of the Clean Water Act and other Agency initiatives. Pre-
application meetings are expected to be held on 50% of all new Step 1
awards and midcourse meetings held on 70% of on going Step Is. Basic
assistance will be provided to implement new legislative requirements
related to innovative & alternative technology, small systems, reuse &
reclamation, sludge management, minority business enterprise, and so on).
o State 5-year Project Planning; The Regions will implement the regulations
related to State priority list planning, so that all States are able to
submit a 5-year project list, manage the list to ensure that highest
priority projects get funded on a timely basis, and update the list to
provide improved project management capability.
o Program Management: At this level, EPA will provide adequate administrk-
tive review of all applications and make awards on a timely basis. The
Corps of Engineers, as part of the $19 million agreement, will be expec :ed
to perform all activities in Step 3 management, including preconstructi>>n
conferences, review of change orders, interim and final inspections, an 1
most aspects of project closeout. The review of plans and specifications
will be assumed to be performed by those States with delegation. EPA s :aff
will do little at this level to supplement the Corps and States effort.
o State Delegation; The Regions will complete grants awards under Section
205(g) for about 39 States or territories, or 13 States over the
FY 1979 level. Approximately 1,550 workyears of State effort will be
involved in State delegation, and other State construction grants
operations, an increase of 485 from FY 1978. At this level, virtually
no oversight of State activities already delegated would be possible.
o OPFT Positions Assigned to State. Approximately 50 OPFT staff will be
assigned to State Offices to assist in implementing State delegation.
Their activities will include both detailed development of policies and
procedures for proposed functions to be delegated and actual performance
of some of these tasks on behalf of the State.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
IMPACTS:
o Resources at this level provide the minimum acceptable effort to comply
with the law, but at a level of obligation that would unacceptably slow
down program operations and (if EPA's reallotment date extension proposd
is not accepted) will cause 42 States to lose funds to reallotment undeij
existing law. The funding level would not allow existing "pipeline"
projects at Step 1 and 2 to proceed to construction in a timely manner.
o The program slowdown at this Level will have severe ramifications in
Congress and in the private sector, and would likely cause a severe
backlash to EPA and the Administrators.
o The resource level would cause program operations to fragment into three
"responsible" parties State, EPA, and the Corps with no ability tc
coordinate and integrate the various components of the grants process.
May lead to severe program slow down and confusion in State operations.
Ability of Administrator to assume responsibility for program outputs
or account for federal expenditures thrown into question.
o The lack of Regional resources would prevent the type of detailed,
careful delegation negotiation that would ensure that States both build j
staff to acceptable levels and properly pursue Federal environmental
objectives. It may result in inefficient use of total resources from
all sources.

(Level 1 provides the minimum level of effort to ensure environmental and
fiscal management for the defined set of obligations and awards at that Leve
The resource increment at this Level will provide for an increase in the
obligation and award total only, with no increase in the level of effort per
award.)
o Award 63 additional Step 1 (to 64 % of expected demand), 99 additional
Step 2 (to 60% of expected demand), and 120 additional Step 3 awards
(to 66% of expected demand), for $2.8 billion of the $8.6 billion
available for obligation in FY 1980.
IMPACTS;
o Not funding this level would lower total national obligations by $200
million. Unless the proposed EPA reallotment date extension is enacted!
approximately 39 States would lose $1.7 billion to reallotment, creating
severe political and economic ramifications.
o Funding this level would not adequately address the problems related to
program fragmentation among Corps, States, and EPA, nor would it allow
improvement in the quality of delegation possible under Level 1.

obligation and award total only, with no increase in the level of effort per
award.)
o Award 124 additional Step 1 (to 68% of expected demand), 162 additional
Step 2 (to 64% of expected demand), and 168 additional Step 3 awards
(to 70% of expected demand), for $3.5 billion of the $8.6 billion
available for obligation in FY 1980.
IMPACTS;
o Not funding this level would lower total national obligations by $700
million. Unless the proposed EPA reallotment date extension is enacted,j
approximately 37 States would lose $1.3 billion to reallotment, creating
severe political and economic ramifications.
o Funding this level would not adequately address the problems related to
program fragmentation among Corps, States and EPA, nor would it allow
improvement in the quality of delegation possible under Level 1.

ACTIVITIES ;
The $4.8 million increment at this level will cover cost increases for
the 600 workyears to be provided to EPA in FY 1980. The $4.8 million will
supplement the $19 million provided in Level 1, and will include:
o $1.1 million for increased costs due to federal pay raises.
o $3.7 million to cover higher costs per workyear than originally
expected (e.g., higher average grade than estimated).
IMPACT:
o The impact of not providing the $4.8 million increment will be to lower
the total number of workyears offered by the Corps from 600 to about
workyears .
o Less workyears from the Corps will put an increased burden on EPA staff,
and lead to inadequate effort being put into Step 3 grants management.

O&M
Four (4) Regions will conduct O&M inspections on new/upgraded Federally
funded treatment plants and will monitor O&M inspections by the States (report-
ed on EPA Form 7500-5 on existing treatment plants.
Six (6) Regions will review O&M documents for selected construction pro-
jects.
Five (5) Regions will conduct follow-up inspections on problem plants and/
or will conduct in depth plant evaluations.
Three (3) Regions will provided onsite technical assistance to
supplement State, local and private sector capabilities.
Training
Nine (9) Regions will provide Sec. 104(g)(l) "seed money", operator train-
ing grants and/or will institutionalize operator training through Interagency
Agreements.
Five (5) Regions will conduct State personnel training in construction
grants program responsibilities.
Three (3) Regions will help States establish Sec. 109(b) operator training
center/programs and/or operator training coordinating committees.
Two (2) Regions will assess effective cooperation between State water
quality agencies and State education/training/placement ageacies.
Impact
About half of the Regions would be able to conduct minimum level programs
of O&M inspections; performance evaluations and technical assistance projects
on new/upgrade Federally funded treatment plants or on existing plants; also
review of O&M related documents for new Federally funded plants. Not funding
this level would eliminate EPA support of State, local, and private sector
efforts to resolve new or existing treatment plant O&M problems.
Most of the Regions would be able to provide Sec. 104(g)(l) operator
training grant funding support. Less than half the Regions will be able to
help States establish effective operator training programs. Not funding would
eliminate EPA Regional support to State and local training efforts.

GREAT LAKES B2A1 REG. X APPRO: A&C
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Support the U.S. - Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and key
EPA air, water, and enforcement programs as they affect the Great Lakes.
Implement International Surveillance plan with greater emphasis on toxics,
water supplies and fish contaminants; develop remedial measures for reducing
toxic materials such as PCB's and for abatement and control of health impac-
ting NFS discharges; increase contributions to international and interagency
efforts to abate atmospheric input to the lakes and to control toxic sub-
stances in sediments; accelerate State-Federal and international environmen-
tal planning and demonstration programs which emphasize critical human health
issues, e.g. safe drinking water, food chain impacts, hazardous substances
and removal or containment of polluted materials. Evaluate the effect of
abatement programs now in place to provide guidance for future strategies.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Great Lakes National Program Office was established. Conducted first
year of Lake Erie intensive survey (both open lake and near shore problem
areas). The 1977 data base was established and preliminary reports on Lake
Michigan were prepared and published. The Lake Erie Water Intake Program
was instituted as well as a special study on currents on Lake Erie to
understand the dissolved oxygen problem in the central basin. Supplemental
river mouth monitoring on 20 selected rivers was begun as recommended by
PLUARG and the Water Quality Board. Staff support was provided to the
Great Lakes Water Quality Board, its Implementation Committee, and Remedial
Programs and Surveillance Subcommittees (EPA chairs 2 of 3); the PLUARG
final report was submitted to the IJC; 4 Sect. 108(a) projects were continued
and three new grants awarded; efforts to integrate Great Lakes environmental
planning studies (GLBC, CZM, and lake levels, winter navigation) were begun.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Conduct second year of Lake Erie intensive and nearshore monitoring
programs with major shift to contractor assistance for all field data
collection, analysis and report preparation. Provide minimal quality
control program. Maintain U.S.-Canadian Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement
support at minimum level. Conduct water intake program for nutrients,
metals, and toxics; support enforcement actions taken for critical Great
Lakes cases; conduct annual sediment programs and perform impact assess-
ments of key lakewide issues. Continue 7 ongoing Sect. 108(a) projects
(award no new grants) and implement selected PLUARG recommendations for
tributaries and pilot watersheds. Reduce participation in Great Lakes
Basin Commission studies, coastal zone management programs, review of
Section 208 plans and interagency resource develpment studies.
Provide staff support to the Chairman, U.S. Section, Great Lakes Water
Quality Board. Provide chairman of the Water Quality Board Implementation
Committee and chairman of ice Remedial Programs Subcommittee and membership
on its Surveillance Subcommittee.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
-Maintain minimum liaison activities between EPA and Canadian offices
involved in Great Lakes.
-Maintain basic information and coordination concerning role of other
EPA programs in Great Lakes basin.
Impact:
At this level, there are insufficient funds to conduct the Great Lakes
National Program as is has been operated in the past. EPA role would
be reduced to providing minimal liaison function.
Not funding could eliminate all EPA active coordination and participation
in international agreements and actions on the Great Lakes, other than
those which could be picked up within other programs.

Activities:
Conduct Lake Huron Intensive Open Lake surveys called for IJC Surveil-
lane plan by contract. (Includes data collection, laboratory support,
analysis and ship operation.)
Conduct Lake Huron nearshore problem area monitoring program plus one
Lake Michigan problem area by contract per IJC Surveillance plan (Milwaukee)
Institute 50% of water intake (filtration plant) program for nutrients,
heavy metals, and toxics entering municipal water supplies.
Continue IAG for PLUARG data management and coordination and State
grants for 30% of river mouth event oriented NFS sampling.
Conduct one special enforcement study/assignment one key lakewide
issue e.g. polluted sediments, atmospheric input or pesticides).
Prepare quality assurance reference samples for contractor laboratories.
Provide limited staff support to U.S. Chairman, Great Lakes Water
Quality Board, its committees, the Great Lakes Basin Commission, and
other IJC lake level studies.
Impact:
Funding at this level will give us difficulty in meeting the mininum
requirements of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement with Canada.
Majority of staff would be assigned to contract/grant monitoring with
reduced ability to analyze and evaluate current abatement and remedial
programs. At this level, no funds are available for continuing the
Section 108(a) demonstration program, and would cause disruption to the
seven ongoing projects.
Funding this level would probably necessitate a restructuring of the
EPA Great Lakes Office since resources are not sufficient to support the
existing components.
Not funding this level would terminate identified agency participation
in all activities of the U.S. - Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agree-
ment and the IJC's Great Lakes Water Quality Board.

3. Assure 200 State responses to emergency situations.
4. Initiate 175 enforcement actions against major sources of water

8. Issue 0 State dredge and fill materials discharge permits.
Benefits and consequences: Failure to provide Section 106 funds at this
level would eliminate further opportunities for development of functional
delegation or implementation of State water pollution control programs
including enforcement, monitoring and permits. New areas of State water
pollution control needs, notably nonpoint source regulation, emergency
response, dredge and fill permits and toxics monitoring would not be
achievable. Qualitative aspects of all programs and program areas would
deteriorate. Most States would be unable or unwilling to maintain resource
levels necessary to support previously delegated functions. Funding at this
level provides only the most minimal achievement of selected national and
State priorities.

FY 1978 level although initiatives in new areas: toxics monitoring, nonpoint
sources and emergency response programs would result from incremental resource
shifts stemming from increased funding through Section 205(g). Failure to
approve this level would result in significant deterioration of water pollution
control activity relative to FY 78 State efforts.

Activities
0 Prepare two annual reports for (1) Congress as required by the Marine
Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) and (2) the Intergovern-
mental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) as required by the Ocean
Dumping Convention (ODC).
0 Continue an environmental impact statement (EIS) contract to analyze avail-
able data on dumpsites and perform additional baseline surveys.
0 Pr.epare eight position papers on the U.S. positions on agenda items and
three supporting technical documents in support of the ODC (EPA is the lead
agency).
0 Develop environmental guidelines for two new major offshore activities.
0 Draft two Technology Assessments in the Marine Environment (TAME) doc-
uments for new offshore technologies, identifying probable environmental im-
pacts, R&D needs, and existing and needed EPA legislative authorities.
0 Review ten EIS's, ten development plans, and twenty-five regulations for
OCS lease sales; review eight EIS's for other offshore activities.
Impacts
0 This level allows a basic program to minimize impact of waste dumping in
the ocean and encourage development of alternative waste disposal tech-
nologies.
0 It will provide for the development and limited implementation of regulatory
schema to control the impacts of new or changing ocean activities. Through
the EIS process, EPA could also influence the marine plans of other agencies.
0 If unfunded, there will be no ocean dumping program, putting EPA in viola-
tion of the MPRSA and the ODC. Ocean disposal will be unregulated. Dis-
charges from new marine technology and their environmental impacts will be
uncontrolled.
0 Non-funding will leave Federal agencies and industry without guidance as to
(1) the nature of EPA's interest in their new marine activities, and (2) the
effects of any regulations EPA issues. EPA would be unable to affect immi-
nent ocean activities, especially OCS petroleum activities, to the environ-
mental detriment of the oceans. U280

Activities
0 Revise ocean dumping regulation based on new statutory requirements,
changing program needs, and operational experience.
0 Continue the Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) contract resulting
in the completion of one (1) draft EIS and the designation of one (1)
municipal/industrial dumpsite.
0 Revise the two Implementation Manuals based on operational and research
experience with dredge/non-dredge materials.
0 Draft (1) a policy document on the environmental aspects of deep-sea minin&J

° Develop one marine sanctuary nomination.
0 Pursuant to Sec. 302, Marine Protection, Resources and Sanctuaries Act,
review five (5) EPA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency marine
sanctuary nominations.
0 Participate in and contribute to the Intergovernmental Maritime Consulta-
tive.
Impacts
0 This level will permit an expansion of the basic ocean dumping program.
The provision of ocean dumping sites for dredged materials will continue to
preserve and maintain our resourceful shorelines and wetland areas.
0 EPA headquarters and Regions will achieve coordinated approaches to
ocean environmental management with respect to new technologies. Regions
will receive guidance in making marine sanctuary nominations.
0 Non-funding will deprive the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration (NOAA) of help it has sought relative to deep-ocean mining and review
of marine sanctuary nominations. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Office of
International Activities (OIA) will not receive the technical help needed
to assist EPA's role in international marine environmental matters.

Activities
0 Continue the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) contract resulting
in the designation of two (2) municipal/industrial dumpsites.
0 Develop one marine sanctuary nomination.
0 Develop procedures manuals to insure that EPA requirements are
met concerning dredged material sites.
0 Revise the Bioassay Manuals based on operational and research experi-
ence in ocean dumping.
0 Write the incineration at sea regulations and begin to implement them.
Impacts
0 This level will permit industry, the Corps and others to legally dump
their waste materials in approved sites and will allow orderly development
of Federal regulations for ocean-thermal energy.
0 Non-funding will prevent EPA's influencing the development of environ-
mental safeguards in ocean-thermal technology; furthermore, non-funding
could jeopardize EPA's position as an interested and active regulator of
this new technology with Congress.
0 With designations of ocean dump sites expiring in 1980, no dumping in
marine waters of dredged materials or other wastes will be allowed with-
out redesignations, in which the EIS process plays an important role.
Non-funding of this level will make difficult such designations by either
EPA or the Corps. '
0 Without the Incineration at Sea Regulations hazardous waste disposal will
eventually cause problems for states, counties, cities, and individuals and
may lead to suits against EPA and net fulfill our International obligations.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
Review interim and special permit applications as soon as received for
completeness and compliance with ocean dumping criteria and regulations.
Provide support to Headquarters as needed on research, emergency and incinera-
tion permit applications and procedures.
Review permittee's proposed alternatives to ocean dumping for schedule,
feasibility, effectiveness, and progress.
Establish and develop monitoring programs for permittees using approved
dumpsites; a review and evaluate monitoring results.
o Provide an EPA cursory review and coordination on COE permit and Federal
projects proposals.
Respond to critical issues only in NOAA requests on marine sanctuary recom-
mendations.
EPA is not in control of the number of permit applications received, but
most to review them all. This level of funding, will permit only a cursory
review of applications.
Impacts
Provides limted response to interim and special permit applications,
including less than full public participation.
Efforts to phase out dumping of harmful materials and oversee permit con-
ditions would at a minimum level insufficient to meet the 1981 phase-out re-
quirements.
Only minimal support for all activities required by the Act is possible;
QO resources will be available for the described tasks. Enforcement - a
mandate of the Act - would suffer.
Less than full support for research/emergency/incineration permits, for
lew COE and NOAA efforts, permittees searching for alternatives to dumping.
Firm commitments by EPA to Contress and the public to strictly enforce
the MPRSA and cease dumping of harmful materials by 1981 would not be kept.

All funds are to be transferred to other Federal Agencies.
Special projects initiated in States or areas with approved 208 plans or
portions thereof to assist in the implementation of the plans. Projects
funded under 304(k) are those not eligible under Section 208.
Projects funded would include acceleration of the Integrated Pest Manage-
ment and nutrient control programs of the USDA, Extension Service and
expansion of the Irrigation Management Services Program of the Bureau of
Reclamation and the Soil Conservation Service.
Alternative is to increase individual Federal agencies' budgets. This
however, would not facilitate coordination of and direction of these
projects by EPA to ensure their implementation in areas with the most
critical water quality problems. Nor would increases in individual
agencies' budget facilitate a comprehensive review of the WQ manageme-
ment activities of other Federal agencies by OMB and Congress.
Not funding will delay implementation of 208 plans in the pesticide,
nutrient, and salinity control programs.

A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ OE MEDIA: WATER Q.
WATER QUALITY ENFORCEMENT (B303) REG" APPRO: ENFORCE
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The principal goal is to assure compliance with applicable water quality
related statutory requirements. At Headquarters this involves overview,
policy direction, guidance, and support for specific compliance monitoring
and legal activities including:
o Rapid large scale enforcement response to emergency situations threatening
public health and the environment.
o Review and evaluation of self-monitoring reports submitted by permittees.
o Inspection of permittee facilities.
o Use of administrative sanctions such as administrative penalties,
Administrative Orders and Notices of Violation to require compliance.
o Referral and prosecution of lawsuits against recalcitrant violators.
o Enforcement of non-NPDES requirements, including compliance/enforcement
for toxics and hazardous materials.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
o Direction of enforcement responses to extreme emergency situations
under section 504.
o Provision of policy, guidance and specific legal case support for the
major enforcement drive.
o Provision of technical support on enforcement programs to the Regions
and Headquarters by the National Enforcement Investigations Center
(NEIC). (NEIC's major function is to provide technical information
and evidence in support of EPA enforcement actions. Emphasis is placed
on NEIC's quick response in emergencies. Another important function
01 tne center is to provide large-scale technical support for short-
term studies beyond the resource capacity of other EPA units.)
o Implimentation of the Enforcement Management System (EMS). EMS is an
administrative system which was put into practice in all EPA Regional
Offices in FY 78. This system allows the assessment of compliance
monitoring and enforcement activities at any given point in time.
EMS procedures are designed to organize each analytical function
within the organization in order to process compliance monitoring
information in an orderly, timely, and consistent fashion.
o Development of a State overview/audit program for implementation by
the EPA Regions, as a new part of EMS.
o Initiation of a pilot contract for sampling inspections. Under this
"pilot" effort, sampling inspections are being carried out by a contractor,
The results will show whether this approach is feasible, practical and
beneficial to EPA.

such activities as: specific case support (expert testimony), litigation
training for Regional personnel & other innovative enforcement activities.
o Perform other necessary administrative activities (personnel, procurement,
budget preparation, development of guidance, Regional liaison, etc.).
Benefits of Funding; These are basic support activities to the Regions,
providing administrative and technical direction, which must be handled by
a central office. They involve setting the priorities that define the
scope of the program; developing directives as required by the Clean Water
Act and the Ocean Dumping Act, issuing guidance to the Regions on the
implementation of these directives, and maintaining overview of the program
to assure consistency with national priorities and program goals.
Consequences of Not Funding; Fail to provide basic support activities to
the Regions and provide priorities that define the scope of the water
enforcement program mandated by the Clean Water and Ocean Dumping Acts.

Incremental Activities;
o Support and overview the toxics compliance/enforcement program through
modification of compliance monitoring procedures to include sampling
procedures for toxics and coordination of implementation of procedures
in Regions.
o Provide additional contract support of 0.563 million for developing and
managing contracts in support of cases (e.g., Mission Contract which is
an umbrella contract which allows Regions to write work orders for case
support in areas of expert testimony, toxics analyses, etc.).
o Increase of technical support by NEIC for case preparation and other
enforcement actions. Activities would specifically be used to assure
continuing capability for rapid response case preparation for negligent
hazardous waste discharges such as the FMC case.
o Provide information and support to the Regions on changes and
improvements to automated DMR processing as developed.
Benefits of Funding! This level provides for Headquarters overview and
support of the toxics program a high Agency priority in support of health
related enforcement. Data support for the Regions covers assistance on
ADP systems and also other computer-related work which enables some Regional
functions to be automated, thus saving resources.
Consequences of Not Funding; Fail to provide for enforcement of toxics
compliance, streamline contract support procurement and improve automated
DMR review.

Incremental Activities:
o Provide legal support to resolving most significant adjudicatory hearing
requests either remaining first round or new second round requests.
o Support and overview the hazardous substance (Section 311) enforcement
program.
o Increase of technical support by the NEIC for case preparations and
other enforcement actions, in order to implement the 1977 Amendments
to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Specific activities
involve efforts to determine whether entities with multiple source
violations of the Clean Water Act engage in such violations as a
matter of policy. Since these determinations will transcend Regional
boundaries, a National capability is required.
o Review the Regional implementation of compliance/enforcement management
techniques as set forth in the Regional Enforcement Management Systems
(EMS).
o Contracts totaling 0.461 million are included for support of such
activities as providing quality assurance samples to all major NPDES
permittees.
o Support and overview pretreatment enforcement in the Regions.
Benefits of Funding; Legal support to resolving adjudicatory hearings is
important because it enables us to finalize permits and thus make them
enforceable. For example, enforcement efforts against a number of major
iron and steel permittees for failure to meet the July 1, 1977, deadline
have been impacted because of long delays in resolving adjudicatory hearings.
Although at this level we can only work on the most significant cases.
The enforcement management system was developed to increase efficiency in
the Regions. The pretreatment program will have little credibility if
enforcement is not pursued. The hazardous substances enforcement program
is a high Agency priority in our battle against health related environ-
mental problems.
Consequences of Not Funding: Fail to provide for minimum legal support
in resolving significant adjudicatory hearing requests, technical and
overview support of hazardous substances enforcement, review of Regional
compliance/enforcement management and overview pretreatment enforcement.

Benefits of Funding; At this level EPA will move quickly and forcefully
under section 504 in response to extreme emergency situations. This is
a top priority capability, necessary to protect human health. Also,
enforcement activities and resources will focus on assuring and maintaining
major industrial permittee compliance with permit effluent limitations for
best practicable technology (BPT), and water quality standards. A minimal
number of compliance inspections for toxic substances and a small number
of inspections in which bioassays will be used to screen for toxics, are
included at this level. Major industrial permittees, in aggregate, repre-
sent the largest source of pollutants discharged to the Nation's waters.
Consequences of Not Funding; Failure to provide support for this level
will result in the inability of EPA to respond to extreme emergency situa-
tions through the mechanism of section 504. EPA will also not be able to
track compliance and take appropriate enforcement action against major
industrial permittees for violations of or failure to comply with NPDES
permit terms and conditions.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Benefits of Funding; At this level, assuring and maintaining compliance
with NPDES permit terms and conditions will be extended to include all
Federally-funded major municipal permittees. This will focus on the next
largest categorical source of pollutants to be abated and will assure that
those municipalities receiving Federal funds are constructing facilities
in a timely fashion and that the facilities once constructed are operated
in accordance with permit terms and conditions. The minimal toxics
compliance sampling and bioassay screening activities included in level
one will be expanded and a pretreatment monitoring program will be
introduced.
Consequences of Not Funding; Failure to provide support for this level
will result in the inability of EPA to track compliance and take appro-
priate enforcement action against Federally-funded major municipal
permittees. Federally-funded major municipal permittees represent the
second largest categorical source of pollutants to be abated under
the NPDES, and also represent one of the largest public works projects
undertaken by the Federal government with authorized funding of
$5 billion per year through FY 1980. Because of the magnitude of the
Federal share of municipal treatment facilities planning and construc-
tion costs, Congress is vitally concerned that significant improvement
to the Nation's waters result from this program.

OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Benefits of Funding; At this level, assuring and maintaining compliance
with NPDES terms and conditions will be extended to cover all major indus-
trial, Federal and Federally-funded municipal permittees. Changes in the
1977 Amendments to the Clean Water Act clarified the status of the
responsibility of Federal facilities to comply with the provisions of
the Act and should result in improved compliance by Federal facilities.
Expansion of the toxics compliance/enforcement program continues at this
level along with implementation of a pretreatment compliance and enforce-
ment program and minimum enforcement of section 404 (dredge and fill
program).
Consequences of Not Funding! Failure to provide support for this level
will result in the inability of EPA to track compliance and take appro-
priate enforcement action against major Federal permittees. Failure to
support this level will also result in the inability to track compliance
and enforce pretreatment standards designed to protect the integrity and
improve the performance of wastewater treatment facilities. Dredge and
fill permits issued under section 404 and designed to protect municipal
water supplied, shellfish beds, fishery areas, wildlife or recreational
areas from adverse effects, will not be enforced.

3) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOH OBJECTIVES
The long term objectives of the Permits Division are 1) to
increase the control of toxic pollutants from direct discharges
by imposing BAT controls in permits, and from indirect
dischargers by implementing the pretreatment regulations and
2) to encourage the assumption of the NPDES program by
states* Specific Headquaters include:
- Continue to develop regulations, guidance and programs,
where needed, to implement the requirements of the CWA.
- Maintain emphasis on increasing control of toxic pollutants
by providing technical assistance/guidance in developing
case-by-case permit conditions to control toxic pollutants
where BAT/Toxic guidelines are not available.
- Provide guidance and contract support for controlling
toxics from new group of sources, indirect discharges into
POTWs.
- Increase State participation in water pollution control
effort by approving State NPDES Programs.
- Make Agency permitting programs more effective by develop-
ing a program for integrating the various permitting efforts.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Development of comprehensive guidance package for Regions
and NPDES States on issuance of' permits with BAT/toxic
controls.
- Development of regulations and guidance on program to
control pretreatment of toxic wastes discharged by industries
to POTWs.
- Comprehensive revision of NPDES regulations to clarify
existing requirements and respond to new program issues
posed by the increasing emphasis on toxic controls and the
CWA.
- Provision of technical assistance to permittees in develop-
ing permit conditions.

D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Many of the Clean Water Act programs require implement-
ing action on the part of the HQ Permits Division. A
significant portion of FY 1979 activities will be directed
at developing regulations and guidance to implement these
programs
Many of these new program areas will contribute to the
Office of Enforcement's high priority effort to control
toxic pollutants. The pretreatment program, the section 405
municipal sludge disposal program and the program to control
the handling of toxic and hazardous pollutants under section
304(e) in particular will play a significant role in increas-
ing our control of toxic pollutants.
Another Permits activity in keeping with the Office
of Enforcement's emphasis on toxic control will be the
issuance of "second round" NPDES permits with BAT/toxic
effluent limitations. FY 1979 will witness the first major
effort to incorporate toxic limitations.based on BAT/toxic
effluent limitations into NPDES permits. Many of the new
controls required in permits are very complex and require a
level of expertise not yet developed in some Regions.
Headquarters personnel can serv e a valuable role in the
interim by providing this expertise to the Regions and
ensuring that theser controls are applied in a consistent
manner nationwide.
A third emphasis of ther Permits Division in FY 1979
will be the coordination of NPDES permitting activities
throughout the Agency. In particular, this activity will
focus on coordinating permits activities with guidelines and
permits issued under the Solid Waste Disposal Act and
activities of the Safe Drinking Water program, Toxics
program and the Contruction Grants program.

Activities
* National program management; policy development and administration
of personnel, contracts and budget planning-
* Coordination of public participation in the permit process.
* Development, expansion and maintenance of information systems including
ADP.
* Implementation of pretreatment regulations through the permit process.
* Assistance to States seeking authorization to administer the National
Pollutant Dischartge Elimination System permit program.
* Granting or denying fundamentally different factors variances from
promulgated effluent guidelines.
* Resolution of high-priority (e.g., those necessary to make major permits
finally effective) adjudicatory hearings resulting from permit issuance or
variance determiniations
* Provide guidance to implement new provisions of the CWA.
* Provide technical assistance to Regions and NPDES States, to develop
effluent limitations, terms and conditions for permits, in the absence of
applicable guidelines.
Impact
Funding this base level will allow the program to develop guidance for
high priority mandates of the CWA and will provide a minimum resource level
for addressing priority on-going activities such as State delegation
and second round permitting.
Not funding this level would severely impair fulfillment of new CWA
responsibilities. Regions and States depend to a large extent on guidance
from Headquarters in implementing new program areas* Failure to provide
technical assistance will delay the implementation of many of the complex
new requirements mandated by the CWA and will hamper the second-round
permitting effort.
Resources devoted to regulation development have decreased from the FY
1979 level as the major regulation development effort will be completed by
the end of FY 1979. Guidance resources, on the other hand will be increasin,
as the program undertakes the task of explaining these new regulatory
requirements, many of which are required by the CWA, to the Regions and
States. In addition, technical assistance resources will increase to
assist Regions in incorporating the complex requirements of toxic controls
into NPDES permits.

Contract Funds
Contract funds In level 1 of FY 1980 total $412,000.
These funds are to be used:
* for technical support to adjudicatory hearings (e.g.,
technical expertise to be used in adjudicating permit
conditions).
* to fund a pretreatment study which will focus on identify-
ing the existing legal authorities, technical capabilities
and resources of a portion of those 600 POTWs which will be
required to develop a pretreatment program. This study will
help us to identify the most significant program (e.g., the
study may show that most do not have sufficient legal
authority to carry out a pretreatment program) and will be
used as a guide in directing the use of a large $2,000,000
contract to provide assistance to POTWs in developing
pretreatment programs.
* to provide second year funding for the "NPDES Advisory,"
a periodic report to the Regions which highlights new
Permits policies, recent legislative developments and court
cases and updates status reports on permits issued and
variance determinations.
* to provide technical and administrative support to
permits activities such as development of technical guidance
for industrial Best Management Practice plans and evaluation
of permit requirements in compliance schedules (i.e.,
studies which examine the consistency of the application of
effluent guidelines).

bility to expiring NPDES permits and compatibility with
permit policy and regulations.
* Develop guidance for implementing new Clean Water Act
activities for which regulations were developed in FY 1979
(i.e., sludge disposal and management, best management
practices for industrial sources , innovative technology,
variance from technology-based standards where water quality
is not affected and industrial tie-in to municipal systems).
Impact
FY 1980 will continue to be an important year for the
development of new programs manadated by the CWA, as well as
emerging programs in other parts of the Agency such as Solid
Waste and Toxics. It is important that these closely
related programs be integrated at this early, developmental
stage before the programs become committed to program
directions which may be inconsistent.
Contract Funds
Incremental contract funds in level 2 total $125,000. These
funds will be used to supplement 2 of the activities funded
in level 1. An additional $50,000 will be devoted to
technical assistance for adjudicatory hearings. An additional
$75,000 will be added to the OWE Mission contract to continue
work on the revision of the NPDES application form and to
provide technical support for variance determinations.

Activities
* Assure further development of the integrated permit process by
providing guidance and technical assistance to Regions in coordinat-
ing permit activities with related program areas such as Solid
Waste, Toxics and Drinking Water.
* Im plement program to review and act on economic variances [301(c)],
water quality variances [301(g)] and innovative technology time
extensions [301(k)].
* Develop guidance on case-specific permit problems with potential
national application (e.g., should secondary treatment requirements of
effluent guidelines be applied to Publicly Owned Treatment facilities
which handle predominantly industrial waste?).
Impact
Issuance of guidance is necessary to ensure uniform implementation of
program activities. If guidance is not provided to assist Regions and
States in putting regulatory requirements into effect, the implemeta-
tion of these program activities will differ from Region to Region of
State to State, thus imposing inequitable requirements on regulated
dischargers
Permit program activities impact and are impacted by many other
programs in the Agency, such as construction grants, solid waste
disposal and guideline development. Permit activities must therefore
be coordinated with these related areas to insure a more effective
application of Agency programs to regulated sources of pollution.
Contract Funds
Contract funds in level 3 total $135,000. $45,000 of these funds will
be used to supplement the adjudicatroy hearing support activities and
$90,000 will go to the OWE Mission contract. The Mission contract
funds will be used to provide contract support for developing case-by-
case permit conditions to control toxics in permits for sources which
present an immdeiate threat to human health (i.e., cases where it is
not appropriate to wait for the promulgation of national effluent
guidelines).

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
* Control toxic pollutants by issuing NPDES permits
that: 1) require industries to install Best Available
Technology (BAT); and 2) require municipalities to develop,
implement and enforce pretreatment programs.
* Authorize all states to administer the NPDES permit
program.
* Remove impediments to enforcement by assuring that all
NPDES permits are finally effective.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
* Authorized two additional states to administer the NPDES
program.
* Reviewed and approved or vetoed proposed permits for major
dischargers in approved NPDES states.
* Overviewed management of permit programs in all approved
NPDES states. (Total of 32 NPDES States)
* Reissued or modified permits for major dischargers in
non-NPDES states to remove impediments to enforcement.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The emphasis in FY 79 will be on toxic pollutants, clearing
the way for enforcement and management initiatives. To
accomplish these, the regions will do the following:
* Issue finally effective permits to major industrial
source requiring BAT controls for other than toxic pollutants.
* Reissue permits to major industiral dischargers having
toxic pollutants requiring a continuation of BPT control
until BAT toxic guidelines are available and then modifying
the permits to incorporate the new BAT controls.
* Assistance to states and municipalities that must develop
and implement pretreatment programs.
* Reissue or modify permits to major municipal dischargers
to extend deadline for secondary treatment and incorporate
new requirements established by the CWA.
* Review and approve or veto NPDES state issued major

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
All but very few major industrial permits will be reissued
with special emphasis on requiring BAT controls on permittees
which have toxic pollutants in their waste streams.
A majority of expiring major municipal permits will be
reissued. Some major municipal permits will be modified to
extend final compliance date for secondary treatment.
Most major permits, industrial and municipal, to be issued
by NPDES states will be reviewed and approved or vetoed.
The management of about 1/3 of the state NPDES permit
programs will be reviewed. Assistance will be provided to
several states that will request authorization to administer
the NPDES program.
Some states and municipalities will be assisted in developing
pretreatment programs.
A few major adjudicatory hearings will be resolved.
Impact
The majority of the 113 workyears in level 1 are devoted to
reissuing expiring municipal and industrial permits over
which the regional office has jurisdiction and overviewing
the reissuance of state issued permits. This is the primary
permits function; and if resources are not provided
to carry out this basic activity, the permits program will
cease to exist.
The activities funded at this level are essential to the
implementation of the Agency's toxics control program as
most industrial permits reissued at this level will incorporate
BAT/toxic controls.
Resources provided at this level are not sufficient to 1)
ensure that permits are finally effective through the
resolution of adjudicatory hearings, 2) implement toxic
controls in municipal permits through the initiation of
pretreatment programs or 3) provide more than a cursory
overview for 2/3 of the NPDES states.

Additional major municipal permits will be modified to
extend final compliance data for secondary treatment.
Some variance (e.g. fundamentally different factors, economic)
requests will be reviewed and granted or denied.
A few more major adjudicatory hearings will be resolved.
Several more state NPDES permit programs will be reviewed
for proper management. Review and approval or veto of
addtional proposed NPDES state issued major permits.
Pretreatment program development by a number of municipalities
will be assisted.
Selected minor permits will be reissued.
Impact
The major emphasis at this level is on increasing the
overview of NPDES states. This activity includes providing
technical assistance to states in developing complicated
permit conditions. The thorough review and provision of
assistance to state NPDES programs is essential to the
proper function of the NPDES program. The institution of
toxic controls is complicated and requires a level of
technical expertise that many states may not have. In
order to insure that the state issued permits (about 2/3 of
all_NPDES permits nationwide) incorporate effective toxic
controls, EPA must be prepared to provide direct assistance
to states in developing case-by-case conditions and must
overview the incorporation of these controls.
At this level of funding, a significant numnber of NPDES
states will still not be provided with sufficient assistance
or overview (only 21 of the 32 NPDES states are assisted/over-
viewed). In addition, the majority of POTW's will not have
been assisted in developing pretreatment programs.

Impact
Resources at this level are devoted primarily to incorporat-
ing pretreatment requirements into applicable municipal
permits. This activity is essential to the implementation
of the agency's toxic control program. The number of
industrial sources with toxic effluents discharging into
municipal treatment works is estimated to be comparable to
the number of industrial sources with NFDES permits discharg-
ing toxic pollutants directly into the Nations waters. The
development of pretreatment programs is critical to addressing
the problem of toxics in control in this large group of
significant sources.

for the overview of all NPDES states. Failure to achieve
the small increment of resources necessary to ensure full
overview of NPDES states may have a significant detrimental
impact on the operation of the NPDES program. Overview of
state operations is necessary to ensure that permit repuire-
ments are imposed consistently nationwide and that complicated
toxic controls are incorporated in all applicable permits.

I;OHM 1: DCCISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DI CISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE)
Construction Grants Appropriation
MEDIA:
AI'I'IK)
New obligational authority of $4,051,000,000 is requested for FY 1980,
divided into $4 billion for the construction grants program and $51 million
for the Section 206(a) reimbursable program.
B) Long Range Goals & Major Objectives
The construction grants appropriation of $4.1 billion is used for two
principal purposes: to award grants to municipalities for construction of
treatment plants and to fund State operations (up to 2% of allotment) under
Section 205(g) of the Act.
The long range goal of the construction grants program under Title II of
the Clean Water Act is to eliminate the municipal discharge of untreated or
inadequately treated pollutants and thereby help restore or maintain the
quality of the Nation's waters and protect the health and well being of the
people. The program strategy recognizes that there are limited funds avail-
able to meet this goal which must be used to meet the most critical needs in
the shortest possible time. Therefore, the major objectives guiding the
program include the following:
o The funds available must go toward meeting the environmental requirements
of the CWA in an efficient, effective, and timely manner.
o Funds used must be oriented toward innovative and alternative technology
leading to more environmentally compatible solutions to waste control,
including water conservation, reuse, and reclamation.
o Funding must provide sufficient stability to facilitate effective planning
and management in the States, municipalities, and private sector.
The goal of the State Management Assistance grant program is to make the
States, rather than the Regions, responsible for day-to-day and project-to-
project management of the construction grants program. Section 205(g)
authorizes the use of 2% or $400,000, whichever is greater, of each allotment
to cover the cost of delegation of the construction grants program and (to the
extent these funds suffice) the NPDES permit, dredge and fill, and Section 208
management programs to the States. A principal objective of the Agency during
FY 1979 and FY 1980 is to plan, negotiate, and implement delegation agreements
with as many States as possible. The timing and extent of delegation to each
State will depend on the State's ability to operate a program that meets the
necessary competency requirements and policy direction mandated by the law and
EPA objectives. A grant will be given to a State when it can show that it is
able_ to assume delegated responsibility for a substantial portion of the
construction grants program.
An additional appropriation of $51 million will be used to complete the
reimbursement of projects eligible under Section 206(a), as amended by the
Clean Water Act of 1977. It is estimated that all current claims under this
provision will be obligated and paid out by the end of FY 1980.

The overall importance of providing quality evaluation and project
management in the grants program is accentuated by these many new thrusts
Specific activities added to the total workload to meet these objectives are
many, including the Agency mandate to fund alternative treatment technology
to encourage reuse and reclamation projects; to establish flow reduction
policies; to encourage smaller, less capital intensive solutions; to set goals
tor minority enterprise; to provide for major public participation
opportunities; and to establish a long term planning mechanism for Federal and
State planning.
WPA , Given the limited resource base to meet these highly complex requirements
EPA has recommended that the reallotment dates for all funds authorized in the
Clean Water Act (i.e., FY 78 to FY 82) be extended by one year, thus removing
one of the major barriers to achieving a quality product in a resource
constrained atmosphere. This legislative change is necessary to ensure that
the pressure to meet obligation deadlines does not unduly detract from the
principal fiscal and environmental mandates embodied in the Clean Water Act an
other new initiatives. The expected FY 1979 activity levels under this
strategy are as follows:
o The award of $3.4 billion in grants, including 872 Step 1 projects, 1 451
Step 2 projects, and 1,334 Step 3 projects. (Note that without the
reallotment date delay, approximately 24 States would lose part of their
FY 1978 allotment.)
o Approximately 1,087 Step 3 (construction) projects will be completed and
begin operation.
Regarding Section 205(g), State delegation, the FY 1979 program will
follow the policy delineated in the regulations and guidance issued in late
FY 1978. Accordingly, EPA will not award grants to any State for the NPDES
permit program, dredge and fill program, or Section 208 management program,
until a substantial portion of the construction grants program is delegated to
the State. For FY 1979, therefore, the emphasis will be on negotiating
construction grants delegations, with little grant activity related to the
other programs.
For construction grants, the policy reflects the long term emphasis on
building an effective State construction grants program rather than simply
parcelling out individual tasks as the State builds staff. The gradual
assumption by the State of all delegatable activities is expected, but only
after EPA is satisfied that the States' execution of that activity meets the
national standards and makes further project by project review by EPA
unnecessary. Because the Corps of Engineers has temporarily assumed many
Step 3 activities, the initial agreements with States will concentrate on
activities prior to the Step 3 phase, particularly the Step 2 function and the
nonenvironmental aspects of the Step 1 activity. .

An appropriation of $4.0 billion is requested for FY 1980 to continue the
municipal construction grants program established under Title II of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended by the Clean tfater Act
of 1977. Funds have been authorized for this request by the Clean Water Act
of 1977. An appropriation of $1.5 billion is also requested for FY 1980 for
the liquidation of contract authority pursuant to authority contained in
Section 203 of the FWPCA. This appropriation will make available for payment
all remaining contract authority funds without further Congressional action.
An amendment to Section 205 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 is being requested
separately to extend by one year the legislated reallotment date for the
existing FY 1978 appropriation and the expected FY 1979 through FY 1982
appropriations. Enactment of this amendment would allow States up to three
years to obligate the appropriation.
In FY 1980, obligations totalling $4.1 billion are projected. The new
obligations will support approximately 4,185 awards. Based on the most recent
information available, the total number of projects in various stages of
completion at the end of FY 1980 will be about 12,000, an increase of about
1,000 projects over the FY 1979 estimate. The following table summarizes the

C, DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Regarding Section 205(g), FY 1980 will be the first full year in most
States for activities under the State Management Assistance Grant. It is
assumed that most grant activity will be associated with the construction
grants program. The.,precise estimates of 205-g funds for the other programs
cannot be determined because of the uncertainty regarding the size of the
balance after the construction grants delegation is funded. Less than half of
State construction grants activities previously funded under Section 106 will
now receive funding from Section 205(g) with only $3.6 million of the Section
106 allotment set aside for construction grants.
The expected progress during FY 1979 is summarized below:
o Approximately 13 States (in addition to 26 which received delegations in
FY 1978 and FY 1979) will receive State Management Assistance Grants.
o Total workyears in State Offices related to construction grants will
increase by 408 workyears from FY 1979.
This quantitative statement of progress does not translate directly to reduced
EPA workload, as the awarding of the grant and hiring of new State staff are
initial steps that must be supplemented by substantial Regional training and
parralleling of actitivies. Productive state manpower, reflecting actual
"assumed" delegation, is much lower than the figure above. ;

($25 million) now made eligible under revised 206(a) provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977. (This Act extended the eligibility period to include those
projects which went to construction in FY 1973). Thus the total request to
complete our 206(a) obligations under the "old" and "new" Acts is $51 million.
During FY 1980, the full $51 million (including the full appropriation

DRINKING WATER MEDIA OVERVIEW
I. OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
EPA's drinking water program is primarily a public health effort to
protect the Nation's drinking water supply. The Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA) authorizes: establishment of primary and secondary drinking water
regulations which specify maximum permissible bacteriological, chemical and
radiological contaminant levels; public water systems programs (PWS) to
assure compliance with the regulations; underground injection control (UIC)
programs to protect underground sources of drinking water; protection of
aquifers identified as the sole or principal source of drinking water; and
provision of emergency assistance. The Act encourages voluntary compliance.
State governments, utilizing Federal financial and technical assistance,
have primary enforcement responsibility for program implementation.
Prior to passage of the SDWA, Federal standards applied only to water
supplies used by interstate carriers. Each state determined the scope
of its public water systems protection. The SDWA requires Federal "develop-
ment and promulgation of national drinking water standards. It authorizes
issuance of interim primary regulations, in an effort to expediently set
national standards. Revised, more comprehensive primary standards to be
based on the latest available scientific data also are authorized. Interim
Primary Drinking Water Regulations, based principally on the 1962 Public
Health Service regulations, have been in effect since June 1977. The Agency
is currently amending these standards to regulate chloroform, other
trihalomethanes, and synthetic organic chemicals. In FY 1980, the program
will proceed to develop new primary drinking water standards, including a
regulatory approach to contaminants which may have a direct relationship to
the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Regulatory approaches to control
asbestos and viruses also are necessary.
Under the public water system program, States may assume primary enforce-
ment responsibility for ensuring compliance with national drinking water
regulations. Should a State fail to seek primacy, or to satisfy minimum
program requirements, the Act requires EPA to establish and enforce a program
of public water system supervision in the State. The public water systems
program includes laboratory certification, sanitary surveys, review of
variances and exemptions, enforcement actions, and public notification.
Forty States currently assume primacy. Another eight States are expected to
achieve primacy during FY 1979. In FY 1980, efforts will focus on
encouraging primary enforcement responsibility in the nine remaining States
and territories.
031*3
-------
The Act also requires EPA to establish regulations for State
underground injection control (UIC) programs to protect underground
sources of drinking water from contamination. EPA must designate
those States for which an underground injection control program is
necessary. During FY 1978, EPA initially designated 22 States.
Within the first quarter of FY 1979, the Agency will repropose
regulations setting forth minimum State program requirements for
monitoring, permitting, and enforcement. The 22 designated States
may assume primary enforcement responsibility if they satisfy the
program requirements. Should a State fail to assume or qualify for
this responsibility within 270 days after the promulgation of the UIC
regulations (an additional 270 days may be granted for good cause),
EPA must implement a program for that State. Three aquifers have
been designated so far as sole or principal sources of drinking
water with four more projected for FY 1979. Six additional
aquifers are expected to be designated in FY 1980.
In FY 1980, the programs expect to complete the assessment of
surface impoundments in 47 participating States to determine the
scope of the potential ground water contamination problem. The UIC
program will initially apply only to injection wells. Since
preliminary evidence indicates that pits, ponds, and lagoons are a
large and serious source of ground water contamination, effective
management and completion of the assessment will be extremely
important to the development of both the future drinking water and
solid waste programs.
In the past, the drinking water program developed and implemented
regulations to encourage State assumption of primacy, rather than
focusing on enforcement of the program. In FY 1979, program emphasis
will shift to development of enforcement capability. This effort
will continue in FY 1980, with special emphasis on implementing
the UIC permit and enforcement program. Increased coordination of
the drinking water program with the NPDES and RCRA programs will
accompany this initiative. The public water systems program will
continue issuance of variances and exemptions and will assure
compliance of community and non-community PWS in all non-primacy
States and Indian lands. Enforcement actions in response to emergency
episode will continue to receive high priority.
Drinking water research and development activities are aimed at
developing economically sound drinking water standards based on
scientific data and providing improved treatment technology for
control of drinking water contaminants. As part of the Health
Effects Initiative, and as part of the continuing need for
-------
updated information on organics, the FY 1980 health effects research program
will initiate a thorough investigation of the nature, distribution, and
concentration of organic compounds in relation to water supply sources.
Chronic toxicity and espidemiological studies will be conducted for major
organics so that maximum contaminant levels (both new and revised) can be
established. Treatment and control technology research will continue its
program of developing techniques for safe potable reuse of wastewater
and will include field evaluations of inorganics control processes for
small systems.
II. RANKING CRITERIA AND PRIORITIES
The ranking criteria for the drinking water program were as follows:
Emphasize the development of drinking water standards which
include additional organic contaminants and contaminants related
to cardiovascular disease.
Implement the UIC program to protect underground sources of
drinking water.
Continue support and assistance to States for the PWS programs in
the implementation of the organics standards.
Exercise enforcement responsibilities in States without primacy for
PWS.
Concentrate on the research and development activities related to
identification, treatment, and removal of additional contaminants.
Emphasize treatment technology for inorganics in small systems,
water reuse and organics unit processes, and the treatment of
organics with health effects.
Implement a permit/enforcement program in States designated as
requiring UIC programs.
III. FY 1980 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The proposed FY 1980 program will emphasize: implementing the under-
ground injection control program; supporting the Health Effects Initiative;
regulatory development; initial implementation of the organics regulations;
and treatment and control technology.
The underground injection control program will be at an early stage
of implementation in FY 1980. The regions will focus on work
031*5
-------
with 22 designated States to encourage primacy, and at the same
time, develop plans for implementing the program in non-primacy
States and on Indian lands.
As part of the Health Effects Initiative, the research and
development effort for drinking water will emphasize updating
information on organics, inorganics, and microbiological contaminants
to improve the health effects data base for development of regulations.
The requested increase also will support a major initiative in organics
research.
In FY 1980, the program will develop new drinking water regula-
tions, including: development of maximum contaminant levels (MCLs)
for particular synthetic organic compounds as an important part of
the Agency's overall strategy of dealing with organics in drinking
water; revision of the existing standards as a result of new and
improved data bases; and development of a regulatory approach to
inorganic contaminants.
The public water systems supervision program will concentrate
on implementing the organics regulations. Activities will focus
on the early stages of design of granular activated carbon (GAG)
treatment systems, reviewing applications for variances and
exemptions, and analyzing water quality data.
As part of the long-range effort to support the goals of the
SDWA, treatment and control technology research will develop new
and improved technology for effective and economical control of
drinking water contaminants during treatment, storage, and distribu-
tion. In addition to emphasing work on organics, the FY 1980 program
will conduct field evaluations of inorganics control processes for
small systems and continue a program in potable water reuse technology.

PWS 223 6,885.2 - +1,080.7
This increase will support additional activities to implement the
organics regulations, including review of applications for variances and
exemptions. The program will continue oversight in primacy States,
implementation of activities in non-primacy States, and regulation of
non-community systems.
Drinking Water Management -
GW Protection 57 1,956.5 +10 +849.2
This increase will establish program activities related to the
underground injection control program, including oversight in
primacy States and implementation in non-primacy States, Indian lands,
and Federal facilities.
State Program Resource
Assistance - PWS - 30,000.0 - +3,600.0
This increase in funds supports primacy State activities and
enhances program efforts in non-community systems and organics.
Should the funds not be provided, grants to the States that already
have primacy would be reduced, due to an expected increase in the total
number of primacy States.

IM1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
^DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ ORD MEDIADrink. Wat.
Drinking Water: Health Effects (C10S) REG. APPRO; R & D
}'LONG RANGE.GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Long Range Goal; The Safe Drinking Water Act protects the public health by
requiring the establishment of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for drinking
water, and by encouraging the investigation of methods for the-safe reuse of
wastewater. The research in this decision unit provides the health effects
data base necessary for the establishment of these levels and criteria.
Major Objectives: (1) -Provide the health effects data base necessary for
issuing Maximum Contaminant Levels for organic, inorganic, and microbiological
contaminants of drinking water including those which may result from treatment
and distribution of water.
(2) Provide the health effects data bases necessary for
issuing criteria for the safe reuse of wastewater for potable purposes.
*
C) FT 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
=anics: In vitro mutagenic and in vivo teratogeuic analyses were performed on
^anic concentrates from six American cities. No teratogenic effects were
ound. While the mutagenic effects generally were higher where the water quality
was more suspect, there were some anomolies. These anomolies raise questions
concerning conventional assessments of water supply systems and will be
investigated further.
Enorganics; Epidemiological studies were performed evaluating the relationship
>f high concentrations of barium in the drinking water to mortality and to
lood pressure. There were indications that concentrations of barium above the
resent standard may be associated with cardiovascular disease.
isiffeetion; An epidemiologic study was completed on a population exposed for
:hree months to chlorine dioxide. No acute adverse effects were found which
Indicates chlorine dioxide may be an acceptable alternate disinfectant.
lierobiological; Information on Giardia Research was exchanged at a symposium
ttended by personnel from state health departments and research scientists. The
symposium identified additional research needs and provided health personnel
with improved approaches to the control of this common agent of waterborne
Jisease.
euse; A report was published on contaminants associated with the direct and
(indirect reuse of municipal wastewater. This discussion of health hazards and
resentation of environmental measurements provides advice helpful to states
with reuse.

Activities
1. Trace and inventory organic compounds in a variety of water treatment
systems. The sources should include contaminated and protected surface
and ground water supplies. The systems should represent different treat-
ment processes and disinfection methods. Distribution systems should
vary in storage and materials. This inventory will help elucidate the
contribution of different sources, treatment, and distribution to the
organic quality of water.
2. Select representative organic compounds as indicators of organic water
quality. Based on previous research on organics and that described above
determining organic chemical classes (e.g.. halogenated aromatic
compounds), subclasses (e.g., chlorinated aliphatic ethers), groups
(e.g., ether soluble organic bases, carbon chloroform extract) which can
be used as semi-direct criteria for organic chemical quality of drinking
water. In certain Instances, specific organic compounds might also be
selected (e.g., chloroform, carbon tetrachloride) as criteria. Since the
number of organics found in drinking water is so large the identification
of key organics and of reliable indicators is essential to reduce testing
to a manageable amount. These semi-direct criteria will greatly assist in
the development of «««< «m contaminant levels.
3. Obtain biological confirmation that relevant criteria were selected.
This will include epidemiological and animal toxicological research.
Impact
A multitude of organic compounds have been identified in U.S. drink-
ing water (698 as of April, 1978). Indications are that a number of
these organic compounds are a health threat. In order to protect the
public from exposure to these potentially harmful organic compounds, a
major initiative should be undertaken to expand and accelerate the
development of M^-timm Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for these compounds.
It cannot be expected that standards based on any single group of
these organic compounds, like the halomethanes, however important, will
serve as an adequate surrogate for all this variety of compounds with
regard to health hazard. Alternatively, setting individual standards
must be developed that can be used as semi-direct overall criteria for
organic chemical quality, as the coliform test is used successfully most
of the time to ensure microbiological quality.

Setting MCL for organic compounds in drinking water requires a
thorough knowledge of the nature, distribution, abundance and health
effects of these organic compounds. The alternative is to set treatment
requirements, a provision under the Safe Drinking Water Act which is
intended to be used as a last resort if the contaminant cannot be
measured accurately enough in drinking water to establish an MCL. Setting
MCLs will give the water works community the opportunity to choose the
optimal solution for specific situation rather than face across the board
uniform solution.
Approximately $5M/year over a five year period will be required to
support the intensified studies needed to meet the challenges of the
problems discussed above. However, in the long run, this might be the
approach requiring least expenditures of public funds.
Resources Distribution of Level 6 of 6
Acquisition of qualitative and quantitative data on organic compounds
in drinking water will require development of novel analytical techniques.
Moreover, once organic parameters are selected, standardization of
analytical methods and quality assurance will need to be carried out. A
significant portion of analytical methods support is already being
carried out in ORD laboratories to meet the Consent Decree mandate on
toxic pollutants. However, additional analytical support will be needed,
specifically directed at the development of MCLs for organics in
drinking water. Accordingly, the following resources distribution are
planned.

Technical Assistance.
Consequences of Not Funding:
1.
The Agency will be in a position of setting maximum contaminant levels
(MCLs) for specific contaminants but won't know what, if any, available
water treatment technologies will enable a utility to meet the MCLs;
evaluation of most effective and cost-effective methods will be lacking.
Without research on contaminant identification and measurement there is
no way to know where potential problems exist or how serious the problems
actually are.
Without analytical method standardization, enforcement and regulation
would be impossible. t
All research contracts and grants with multiyear funding would be
canceled; this would result in a considerable waste of monies and a
setback in water supply research.

Activities: Small water supplies will have the most difficulty in meeting
the inorganic standards and will incur the highest per capita costs. This
level will fund a one time pulse to initiate an aggressive program to..develop
technologies for small systems to control inorganics. Small water supplies
are now subject to the inorganic standards but are not now subject to the
proposed organics standard.
Benefits:
1. Small systems will be better able to meet current and anticipated inorganic
drinking water standards without (or with lower) federal assistance and
at lower cost to themselves. Work will be needed as regulations are
Implemented. One time funding pulse will allow equipment costs to be
met and early evaluations started.
Consequences of Not Funding:
.1.
Smaller systems will have difficulty in meeting inorganics standards and
likely will incur higher costs.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities: Those providing drinking water to the public and the Congress
have expressed concern about the level of EPA's research effort in potable
reuse technology. Organizations outside the Federal government have urged, that
the work be increased; the authorizations committee authorized $25 million and
applicants have requested grants in the $8 million to $15 million range. EPA
has chosen to try to use existing advanced wastewater treatment plants in order
to reduce capital costs. The work under this level will fund demonstrations
(estimated 2 or 3) of technologies for potential potable reuse of reclaimed
wastewater, through modification of advanced wastewater treatment plants which
have been completed or are now under construction in order to save time and
money.
Benefits:
,..
2,
Technologies will be available for water-short areas Co consider potable
reuse as an alternative source of drinking water when health criteria
become established.
Effluent will be available from potentially potable technologies for
health effects evaluations.
3. Responsiveness to Congressional intent (Sec. S. PL 95-155).
Consequences of Not Funding:
1.
2.
3.
Technologies may not be available when needed.
No effluent is available from potentially potable technologies for
health effects evaluations.
Not responsive to Congressional intent.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goal of this decision unit is to establish and implement
a program which can be supportive to the drinking water mission by incor-
porating new technologies and identifying problem areas. This task will
be accomplished through the use of grants to set up demonstration projects
and special studies. Grant funds would also be provided to the State
Associations of rural water districts to provide training and technical
assistance to the small rural water systems.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The FY 78 program awarded 20 fellowships and 23 institutional training
grants in the drinking water field.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 79 program will emphasize the use of grants to 32 State associations
to demonstrate a self-help grass roots program to small rural systems.
Special studies would be initiated to identify such problems as organic and
inorganic contaminants found in drinking water. Demonstration projects
would be set up to show how the contaminants could be removed as efficiently
and economically as possible. Also, fellowships and institutional grants
would be awarded to upgrade professional personnel resources in the drinking
water field.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
This level provides a total of 1,500,000 to support grants for the following:
(1) 32 State rural water associations to continue and expand "grass
roots" self-help programs in an attempt to reach a portion of the 7000
small rural water systems. The activities of the associations will focus
on:
communicating the requirements of the regulations
training & technical assistance to rural systems operators
liaison with appropriate agencies involved in rural water programs.
(2) one demonstration project to a small water system to develop/
demonstrate technological alternatives which may reduce the economic impact
for these systems while maintaining minimum health protection.
Impact
Funding this level will enable the 32 State associations to continue
implementation of the self-help program to rural systems. These associations
will continue to be the sole source of assistance to these systems for
neither the States nor EPA have the resources to perform these assistance
activities.
The Agency will fund a demonstration project designed to demonstrate
alternative treatment technology which may be used by small systems to meet
the requirements of the IPDWR.
Not funding this level would discontinue activities designed to establish

Activities at this level include the following:
Fund six additional State rural water associations which will (1) locate
and contact rural water systems operators, (2) communicate the requirements
of the SDWA and IPDWR, (3) assess training and technical assistance needs,
(4) identify technical and training resources available to the States,
(5) establish liaison with appropriate agencies, (6) provide on-going
technical and training assistance to rural systems operators.
Fund a total of 16 fellowships (12 PWS, 4 for UIC) to increase and
upgrade the professional personnel resources that are and may be available
to EPA and the States to implement programs for public water systems and
ground water protection.
Impact
Funding this level expands the self-help program for rural systems in
six States and extends the health protection coverage of the SDWA. This
level also provides continued advance training to State personnel and other
individuals pursuing further knowledge in the drinking water program area
which includes public water systems and ground water protection.
Not funding this level would limit EPA's ability to assist the rural
water systems in the 32 existing State associations. Required training and
technical assistance will not be available to additional rural systems
operators. In addition, the supply of knowledgeable personnel in the
drinking water program will diminish without program funding.

The three types of activies to be funded at this levela re:
(1) one additional demonstration project to fund the conceptual
design phase of a project for organics removals;
(2) eight fellowships (7 for PWS, 1 for UIC) to support professional
development in the drinking water program;
(3) two institutional grants to promote expertise in drinking water.
Impact
Funding this level would initiate the first phase of demonstration project
on organics removal which may be available to those systems covered by the
organics standard. The expansion of efforts to increase the personnel
resources in the program will be continued.
Not funding would delay the demonstration of organics removal techniques
which may be used to comply with regulatory requirements. The resources
available to the States to implement their drinking water programs will be
limited.

A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ OWWM MEDIA: Drinking
_ Criteria. Standards and Guidelines C-21.0 REG' APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES : National policy direction for the
drinking water program will center in several key areas. It will provide
for the development of technical, scientific, toxicological, and economic
criteria, and the issuance of primary and secondary Maximum Contaminant Leve
Level regulations. Interim regulations will be amended and the reissed
regulations will be developed and published. Regulations will be developed
to establish the maximum contaminant levels allowable in drinking water, as
well as for potable reuse. Strategy and regulations will be developed for
toxic chemical and carcinogens. In addition, standards and guidelines will
be developed to protect aquifers from contamination by waste disposal prac-
tices, as well as guidance established to prevent sole source aquifers from
being contaminated by Federal, financially assisted projects. Also, public
affairs and training programs will be developed.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Major accomplishments for FY 1978 are highlighted by the proposal of the
organics regulations, designation of States requiring UIC programs,
development of rural water survey, initiation of surface impoundment assess-
ments, and the proposal of the UIC regulations. Also included are the
sole source regulations development, primacy review, and development of the
variances & exemptions guidance document. Additional accomplishments are thi
development of a comprehensive National Policy Statement for Drinking Water
Quality, development of the National Organics Screening Study, and the
development of a laboratory certification guidance manual.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 1979 program will emphasize health protection efforts through the
promulgation of the organics standards and the UIC regulations to protect
drinking water sources. In addition, technical support will be provided to
the Regions and States in the implementation of the organics standards.
Also, maximum contaminant levels for additional specific organics will be
established. Further efforts will be concentrated in completing the
Statutory reports, mandated studies, reviewing sole source petitions,
finalizing the rural water survey, and increasing technical support to
the Regions.

These base level activities encompass all Headquarters activities in the
drinking water program. Emphasis will be on the protection of public health
by assuring the safety of the drinking water through the establishment of
revised primary drinking water regulations, and implementation of the public
water systems supervision and underground injection control programs. The
specific activities undertaken at this level include:
Continue development of revised primary drinking water regulations
as mandated by the SDWA.
Review primacy applications for the UIC program.
Provide technical support to the Regions on organics regulations
and on the issuance of variances and exemptions.
Perform laboratory analyses of water samples.
Impact
Not funding would mean that the Agency must incorporate these activities as
part of another program or utilize the Regions to establish regulations and
policy.

Evaluate existing technologies to minimize cost of compliance and
initiate work on small systems technology. Increased contractual support
for these activities.
- Review additional sole source petitions.
Initiate public participation and awareness programs for the UIC
program to ensure that public officials, injection operators and interested
groups are aware of regulatory requirements. Design information programs
for Regional use.
Pilot the UIC ADP system in one State and perform any required
systems modifications.
Design training materials to be used by the States and Regions.
Formulate the policy and strategy for ground water as it relates
to the drinking water program and other EPA programs; develop guidance
documents on UIC program implementation which includes permit procedures,
enforcement strategy, implementation on Indian lands.
Impact
Funding focuses on the examination of existing technology and the require-
ments of small systems. Funding at this level would encourage State
assumption of primacy, provide the development of an ADP system, and
provide for the uniform national implementation of the UIC program.
Not funding would eliminate the capability to examine existing technology
as a means of addressing a growing concern by local officials for a subsidy
program. Efforts to encourage State primacy would be non-existent thus
increasing the probability for Federal primary enforcement responsibility
for the UIC program and increased personnel resources for the future to
process regulatory data on the absence of ADP systems.

Initiate regulation development on the hardness/softness of
drinking water and its relationship to cardiovascular disease.
Review additional sole source aquifer petitions.
Increase interagency agreement with USGS accordingly, to permit
an increased level of effort for reviewing sole source aquifer petitions.
Increase technical assistance to the Regions for Implementation of
the organics standard.
- Develop and apply a program evaluation criteria to determine
program effectiveness.
Impact
Funding at this level allows incremental expansion in the primary drinking
water regulations and increased technical assistance for the interim
organic regulations.
Not funding this level will result in the delay in establishing standards to
control corrosivity level in drinking water and would delay data collection
activities on cardiovascular disease and drinking water. The level of
support for the Regions would be limited.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goal is to protect the underground sources of drinking water
and to encourage States to assume primary enforcement responsibility for
the UIC program. The issuance of grants will provide the States the
capability to set up their own programs. The States would then have the
responsibility to protect ground water sources of drinking water from
contamination by injection practices.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The FY 1978 funds are being brought forward -into FY1979.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The UIC grant program is to provide financial support to those States
designated by the Administrator as requiring an underground injection
control program. The support is intended to establish an institutional
framework for UIC activities and to help States attain and maintain primacy
for their UIC program.
Grant funds will be distributed to the eligible State to be used for review
and development of legislation and regulations, inventory of injection
facilities, public awareness programs, mapping and evaluation of under-
ground sources of drinking water, and assessment of the impact of shallow
injection wells.

is the ultimate goal for the States to have full primary enforcement respon-
sibility for their programs. Some of the objectives would be to provide
oversight to the programs in primacy States, to implement a PWS program on
Indian and Federal lands, operate a program in non-primacy States, and to
respond to emergencies endangering public health.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
EPA's strategy of working closely with the States in the PWS program and
tailoring the program to each individual State has greatly reduced the
reluctance and resistance encountered by the States. Twenty-six additional
States have attained primacy in FY 1978 bringing the total number of primacy
states to forty, and several States who had indicated disinterest in the
program are now working dilligently towards attaining primacy. In addition,
public notification and review of violation issuances had increased sub-
stantially during FY 1978.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 1979 program will continue in those States that have not attained
primacy. In the States working towards primacy EPA will perform inventory
and data management. EPA will also continue to implement the laboratory
certification program, conduct sanitary surveys to determine compliance,
insure public notification, and process variances and exemptions. Current
programs on Indian lands and interstate carriers will continue, as well as
implementation for Federal facilities in non-primacy states. EPA will
continue its oversight of programs in the primacy States.

This represents the minimum level at which the PWS management program
could operate. Activities at this level would include:
Formulation, development, and operation of a PWS program in:
1) Non-primacy States
2) Indian Lands
3) Interstate Carrier Conveyances
4) Federal Installations
- Provide oversight in primacy States
Issuance of notification of violation for bacteria, nitrates, turbidity,
and other health risks
- Lab certification
- Emergency response
Funding this level provides the basic program with little resources in
dollars and personnel to handle increased demands.
Not funding would cut out the management function of the PWS Program.

Drinking Water Management-GW Protection REG- X APPRO:
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The long range goal is the protection of underground drinking water sources
from contamination resulting from injection practices, and to enable the
States to attain primary enforcement responsibility for the UIC program.
The immediate objective is the establishment of a national program for the
protection of underground sources of drinking water from contamination by
injection wells and other waste disposal activities. The Federal Regional
role is to work with the States designated as requiring UIC programs.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The FY 1978 accomplishments were the initiation of the pits, ponds and
lagoons assessment in forty-seven States and the emergency response in West
Plains, Missouri.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 1970 Program will provide technical assistance to twenty-two desig-
nated States to help them develop programs which will enable them to assume
primacy, provide assistance in emergency situations, review projects pro-
posed in sole source areas, review and process sole source petitions,
provide assistance to the States on the Assessment of Surface Impoundments,
and to develop EPA implementation plans for those designated States who will
not seek primacy for UIC programs as mandated by the Safe Drinking Water
Act.

encouragement of the States to attain primary enforcement responsibility for
their program, monitor the State surface impoundment assessments, administer
and implement sole source programs, and respond to emergencies.
Funding this level established a skeletal regional ground water program.
Not funding would eliminate regional ground water protection activities.

State Program Resource Assistance - PWS C 225 REG- x APPRO: A & C
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
This financial assistance program is designed to assist the States in
acquiring and maintaining primary enforcement responsibility for the
Public Water Systems Supervision program. The objective of a State
public water systems supervision program is to protect public health by
enforcing maximum contaminant levels allowable in drinking water and
reviewing variance and exemption applications from promulgated drinking
water standards.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During FY 1978, twenty-six additional States attained primacy for the
public water systems supervision program, bringing the total of primacy
States to forty. Grants to these States resulted in the following
activities:
1. Program Development and Administration
2. Data Management
3. Laboratory Certification
4. Updating State Laboratory Capabilities
5. Training and Certification
6. Disease Surveillance and Investigation
7. Public Participation
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The FY 1979 program will continue to support States in the implementation
of State public water systems supervision program. It is projected that
an additional eight States will assume primacy thus making a total of 48.
In addition to continuing activities similar to FY 78, the States will:
1. provide surveillance and technical assistance,
2. conduct Plan Review,
3. enforce NIPDWR,
4. complete inventory of non-community water systems, and
5. complete nitrate sampling of ground water sources for
non-community water systems

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Minimal financial support will be provided to States for the establishment
and maintenance of public water systems supervision programs. In most
instances a decreased level of support will result as more States assume
primacy. This level of funding would enable the States to perform the
following activities:
- issue notifications for violations of maximum contaminant levels;
- implement monitoring of THM in cities over 10,000;
- certify laboratories;
- conduct sanitary surveys of community water systems;
- initiate an inventory of non-community systems;
- initiate enforcement actions against recalcitrant water systems;
- maintain the MSIS system, and
- perform basic management and adminstrative duties.
Not funding this grant program would eliminate financial assistance to the
States mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act. The probable consequence
would result in EPA implementing this program utilizing Federal personnel
at a substantially higher cost.

This level of funding would allow the States to perform the following
additional activities:
- conduct sanitary surveys for all systems serving more than 75,000
- establish training and public awareness programs in monitoring and
health effects for Trihalomethanes and GAC regulations
- inventory interstate carrier conveyances (ICC)
- assist primacy States in regulations revision for THM and GAC
- initiate quality assurance program for lab certification
- provide technical assistance to cities over 75,000 to meet new
THM limits
- refer recalcitrant violations to Enforcement for legal action.
Funding this level provides the States with the resources to increase their
program activities in the primacy States.
Not funding this level would prevent the States from undertaking the
additional activities required by the organics regulations. The reduction
in dollar amount from FY 79 would probably cause several States not to
assume primacy in FY 79.

Activities provided at this level would include the following:
- conduct sanitary surveys of all community systems serving more
than 10,000.
- inventory non-community PWS using surface water.
- assist primacy States on public awareness and training on THM
monitoring and correction procedures.
- conduct surveillance for compliance.
- provide basic training for prevention and correction of public
health hazards in PWS.
- conduct public hearings on variances and exemptions.
- refer recalcitrant violations to OWE for legal action.
Funding this level provides the resources to the States to undertake program
activities which satisfy the regulations and conditions for primacy.
Not funding would mean that the State programs have to cut back existing
programs. The reduction in dollar amount from FY 79 would probably cause
several States not to assume primacy in FY 79.

SOLID WASTE MEDIA OVERVIEW
I. OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) establishes
two broad goals in solid waste management: 1) to assure that all solid
and hazardous wastes are managed in a manner that will protect public
health and the environment, and 2) to conserve natural resources directly
and through the management, reuse, or recovery of solid and hazardous
wastes. To accomplish these goals, RCRA authorizes a national program
of hazardous waste regulation and enforcement. Control of land disposal
practices, comprehensive solid waste management planning, solid waste
research and demonstrations, and financial and technical assistance are
provided to support State and local implementation of these programs.
EPA redirected its solid waste management program in FY 1977 to
begin the implementation of RCRA. Pursuant to the statute, the major
solid and hazardous waste management regulations were to be promulgated
18 months after RCRA enactment in April 1978. The task of meeting this
ambitious schedule has been complicated by the paucity of technical and
economic data and the substantial number of controversial issues that
must be resolved. Four groups notified EPA of their intent to sue for
failure to meet statutory dates for promulagtion of these regulations.
Currently, the best projection for promulgation, which will be negotiated
with the four groups and other intervening parties over the next several
months, is as follows:
Subtitle C Regulations January 1980
Section 4004 Criteria July 1979
Section 405 (Clean Water August 1980
Act) Municipal Sludge
Guidelines
Section 1008 Landfill January 1980
Guidelines
The EPA strategy for implementating RCRA places highest priority on
controlling waste disposal through hazardous waste regulation, land
disposal, and the development of equivalent State programs. State
assumption of RCRA authorities is encouraged through Federal financial
and technical assistance, regulations, guidelines,and public support.
Priority attention is given to industrial wastes because of their
relatively greater toxicity and large quantity. Programs related to
municiapl wastes should proceed rapidly due to pre-existing institutional
frameworks, and the knowledge and experience gained by prior year
investments. Resource conservation is encouraged through the development
of economic incentives, State and regional programs, research,development,
demonstrations, and evaluations.
-------
The role of research and development in EPA's solid waste program
is to (1) serve as the principal source of technical information for
regulatory decision making, (2) act as a stimulant to the public and
private sectors in the development and application of cost effective
technological changes for residuals management and (3) provide guidance
when events of national significance arise posing an imminent danger
to public health and the environment.
The highest priority is assigned to those assessment activities
relating to hazardous waste disposal practices and their resultant
impact on health and the environment. The second priority is assigned
to the transfer of technology relating to existing residual characteri-
zation, and sources/control options for ready utilization by public and
private institutions. The third priority deals with the development
of new and improved treatment, control and recovery options for
generators, transporters and receivers of hazardous wastes.
In FY 1978, operating funds increased slightly to support the
development of regulations. With this level of funding, EPA continued
the development of hazardous and solid waste management regulations.
Regulations were proposed for transporters of hazardous waste, State
hazardous waste programs, notification procedures, classification of
landfills, and State planning. The Resource Conservation Committee
continued its work by completing reports on national beverage container
deposits and solid waste disposal charges. A program to award $15 million
in local resource recovery grants under the President's Urban Policy
Program was completed. State grant funding increased dramatically in
FY 1978, allowing States to begin the comprehensive State solid waste
management planning process and to take the first steps toward developing
a hazardous waste program. Procedures developed by the Office of
Enforcement for regional reporting and investigation of hazardous waste
emergencies were implemented, and rules were developed for enforcement
and compliance-related hearings initiated under RCRA. National
enforcement policies were drafted concurrently with the development of
hazardous waste regulations.
In FY 1979 the development of regulations and the supporting
technical, environmental and economic analyses will continue in the
areas of solid and hazardous waste management. Landfill criteria and
State planning guidelines are scheduled for promulgation. The Subtitle C
(hazardous waste) regulations will be proposed. Guidelines for Federal
procurement of paper products and construction materials with recycled
content will be proposed. The first round of local resource recovery
grants under the President's Urban Policy Program will be awarded. The
States will receive increased financial assistance for the assumption
of their responsibilities under RCRA.
-------
II. RANKING CRITERIA AND PRIORITIES
The national solid and hazardous waste problem is substantial.
Municipal solid waste alone (residential, commercial and institutional
sources) amounted to about 130 million metric tons in 1976. By 1985,
the yearly total is projected to increase to 180 million tons.
Industrial waste generation is estimated at 344 million metric tons
a year, with an annual growth rate of 3 percent. Between 10 and 15
percent of these industrial wastes are projected to be classified as
hazardous. Twenty thousand (20,000) permits will have to be issued to
treatment, storage and disposal facilities. Sewage sludge, pollution
control residues, and agricultural and mining wastes amount to billions
of tons per year.
To manage a problem of these dimensions, substantial resources are
required. The budget is premised on the limited availability of
resources, and used the following criteria and priorities in its ZBB
rankings.
Provide for the maintenance and growth of the hazardous waste
management program under Subtitle C of RCRA. This program
has high payoff in abating and preventing significant
environmental pollution problems, particularly groundwater
pollution. Subtitle C fills a substantial gap in EPA's
regulatory program that is not covered by air, water,
pesticides and toxics regulatory authorities and programs.
It addresses directly the Agency's priorities of emphasizing
protection of human health and aggressively enforcing Federal
statutes.
Increase regional resources recognizing that implementation
and enforcement of RCRA must occur at the regional level.
Increase financial assistance to the States to strongly
encourage delegation of the hazardous waste program and State
implementation of the Subtitle D program, particularly the
inventory of land disposal facilities.
Maintain headquarters capacity for development of regulations,
guidelines and policies and for national program management in
all areas (hazardous waste program, enforcement, Subtitle D
and resource recovery).
Notwithstanding the foregoing criteria, maintain a balanced
program to implement the other elements of RCRA including
managing State implementation of Subtitle D requirements,
providng technical assistance, fostering resource conservation
and recovery, and conducting research and development.
Maintain a minimal but productive technical assistance program
to complement other activities and to meet the statutory
-------
requirement of RCRA for 20 percent of resources (Abatement and
Control, less grants) devoted to technical assistance.
Maintain the FY 1979 level of resource recovery local planning
grants to leverage progress towards resource conservation and
recovery and to meet the commitment of the President's Urban
Policy.
« De-emphasize local and rural financial assistance until an
adequate level of State financial assistance is achieved.
The following criteria have been established in assigning research
area priorities:
(1) Carry out research to support the establishment of evaluative
criteria for regulatory development activities under Subtitle C of RCRA.
(2) Provide technical information dissemination and support
activities to accelerate State assumption of solid waste programs and
determine solutions to specific regional needs.
(3) Improve control and recovery technology options to minimize
environmental damage from improper disposal of solid wastes.
III. 1980 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The FY 1980 budget reflects substantial regional growth and a
decrease in the headquarters program as we begin to move more into an
implementation phase.
The regional hazardous waste programs will provide oversight and
assistance to those States accepting the hazardous waste program, and
will minimally operate a Federal program for those States (approximately
15) that do not. Regional activities include assisting States in
developing their legislation and regulations, reviewing and authorizing
State programs, and overseeing permit and manifest programs in authorized
States. Operating the Federal program includes conducting notification
activities and operating a manifest system for unauthorized States. The
permit program mandated by RCRA would begin minimal operation for
unauthorized States, with issuance of less than five percent of the total
number of permits that need to be issued in unauthorized States.
The regional enforcement programs will initiate enforcement actions
in response to emergencies, monitor compliance with the manifest system,
review the State plans for adequacy of enforcement, and direct the
administrative processing of permits.
In Solid Waste Implementation, the regions will be primarily
involved in assisting States in the development of comprehensive solid
waste management plans and in managing the -conduct of the RCRA-mandated
-------
land disposal site inventory. The regions will also manage local
resource recovery grants under the President's $15 million Urban Policy
Program.
Management of the Technical Assistance Panels and delivery of
technical assistance will continue at a level slightly less than in FY
1979. Although the volume of requests for technical assistance is
expected to exceed 1,200 as State and local governments begin to
implement their responsibilities under RCRA, at this level of funding
the regions will only be able to respond to approximately 324.
This budget provides an increase of $11,960,000 for State grants:
$9,720,000 for Subtitle C (hazardous waste) and $2,240,000 for
Subtitle D. In FY 1980, States will be in the first year of a two-year
interim authorization period under Subtitle C, so funding is vital to
the States in this fiscal year. The increase reflects the growth that
will take place in State hazardous waste programs as a result of their
efforts to develop programs that are substantially equivalent to the
Federal program. EPA will seek Congressional concurrence to allow
grant funds to be used by EPA to help meet the costs of the required
Federal program for States which decline to operate hazardous waste
programs.
The Subtitle D grants will allow States to complete the inventory
of all municipal waste sites and initiate the inventory of surface
impoundments. These funds will also support State planning and
regulatory activities, including development of operational powers for
control of non-hazardous industrial wastes.
In Headquarters, the Abatement and Control program will decrease by
seven positions. Regulations required by RCRA for both hazardous waste
and solid waste will be promulgated in FY 1979 or FY 1980. In FY 1980,
significant manpower will be needed to provide the technical support to
respond to the litigation expected to follow promulgation of the
regulations. Guidance documents will be prepared for implementing the
regulations, with particular emphasis on the standards for hazardous
waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (Section 3004).
Investigation of the regulatory approaches for certain "problem" wastes
(e.g., fly ash, phosphates, cement kiln wastes, mining wastes) will begin,
as will the development of industry specific guidance for meeting the
treatment, storage and disposal regulations. Technical guidance for
management of non-hazardous industrial wastes will be issued, and guide-
lines will be promulgated for landfilling and landspreading and
procurement of products with recycled content. Headquarters will
continue its oversight and coordination of the President's $15 million
urban resource recovery grant program. The program will also continue
to evaluate and disseminate information on the technical, economic, and
environmental aspects of technologies for resource recovery, land
disposal, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal.
IMS
-------
In Technical Assistance, management of the TA Panels program and
delivery of technical assistance will remain a priority. A training
program will be maintained, aimed at providing the skills necessary for
new Federal, State and local employees to assume their responsibilities
under RCRA. Public participation activities will be directed at both
educating citizens on solid waste management issues, and obtaining their
views during the development of regulations.
The major activities of the headquarters enforcement program
include development of final enforcement policy and guidance to the
regions, provision of support to regional enforcement activities
regarding case preparation and prosecution, legal investigation of
hazardous waste emergencies, assessment and oversight of authorized
States, initiation of a Federal facility compliance effort, and
negotiation of cooperative enforcement agreements with other Federal
agencies. The program will also provide direct assistance and training
to regional enforcement personnel to assure national consistency in the
implementation of the RCRA enforcement program.
A health research initiative is being undertaken in support of
RCRA to assist in identifying which solid wastes are hazardous to human
health and to assess the health effects associated with waste disposal
by incineration. Also in FY 1980, efforts will be directed at
determining the control technology requirements for disposal/recovery
of hazardous wastes from industrial operations as well as for preventing
migration from storage or treatment facilities to prevent groundwater
contamination.

This increase is needed to assist the States in developing
procedures for and conducting the disposal site inventory.
Solid Waste Technical Assistance. 45 3,623.1 -7 -660.7
This net decrease includes a shift of workload from headquarters
to the regional hazardous waste program. As the regions increase their
expertise in the various aspects of solid and hazardous waste management,
direct technical assistance delivery will no longer need to be provided
by Headquarters personnel. In fiscal year 1980, except in critical
situations, direct technical assistance by Headquarters personnel will
be provided on resource conservation and recovery matters only.
Hazardous Waste Management
Financial Assistance 24,720.0 9,720.0
This increase reflects the substantial growth that will accelerate
in State hazardous waste programs as a result of second year efforts to
develop programs that are substantially equivalent to the Federal
program. It is consistent with the Agency policy to provide maximum
incentives for State assumption of hazardous waste implementation in
FY 1979-30.

Solid Waste - Health and Ecological Effects (D105) R2G. APPRO: B. & D
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
Long Range Goal; To establish the health effects data base for regulatory
decision making on solid waste issues.
Major Objectives: (1) Develop in vitro and in vivo testing schemes for
the relatively quick identification of hazardous
_ _ wastes.
(2) Identify pollutants and associated health effects
resulting from the disposal of solid wastes through
incineration or other means.
C) FT 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
There was no health and ecological effects research program directly
related to solid wastes in FT 78.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
There was no health and ecological effects research program directly
related to solid wastes in FY 79.

C DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activities
In order to perform rapid in vitro, careening tests on hazardous wastes it
will sometimes be necessary to extract the wastes and to separate out
components which are so toxic that they would kill the test cells. Develop
extraction and fractionation procedures so that hazardous wastes can be
tested in microbial mutagenicity systems.
The effects of hazardous wastes on mammals have more direct implications
for human health, but traditional animal test systems are very time
consuming* Develop and validate short term mammalian in vitro and/or
in vivo tests to assess toxicity (including mutagenicity and
carcinogenicitf).
Impact
Research will provide data and information specifically applicable to
RCRA Sec. 3001. It will meet several high priority need requests originating
from the Office of Solid Waste.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Activity
o When solid wastes are burned a variety of emissions result. Monitor
emissions from a municipal refuse incinerator. Then study the health
of a population with high exposure to these emissions and compare it with
a similar population without such exposure.
Impact
Research will provide valuable data on the health effects associated
with exposure to emissions from the burning of solid wastes at an
approved facility. Not much is known about these emissions at the
present time, other than their particulate content,-although the
_aresence of PCB's, POM and heavy metals in solid waste appears to present
fThealth risk. By studying the health of people with high exposure to
hgs^ emissions, the Agency can determine whether this method of disposal
adequately protects the public health. The monitoring part of the study
will help address Section 8001 of RCSA.

(estimated completion FY 81) and continue field verification studies initiated
in FY 79 and initiate two additional field verifications. Verifications under
-way and to be initiated include: (a) pollution transport model for site selec-j-
tion and designj (b). leachate and gas control technology, (c) efficiency of
landfill liners and (d) gas and leachate production dependence on moisture
regime.
Hazardous Waste Processing, Treatment and Disposal; Continue studies ongoing
at the end of FY 79 including field assessments of physical, chemical, biologi
cal and thermal methods for treatment and disposal.
Remedial Action; Continue ongoing field scale evaluation of groundwater
pollution plume management at one polluting municipal waste disposal site.'
Select polluting hazardous waste disposal site and design,field scale
evaluation of remedial measures.
Resource Conservation and Recovery; A plan for conduct of R&D in this area
will be developed based on the marketable products study conducted in FY'79
recommendations of the Resource Conservation Committee and the formalized
Agency strategy for RCRA implementation .
Industrial,
Targeted industrial processes will be assessed to determine the
a.
b.
types of waste produced, whether hazardous or not, composition,
quantity and quality. l
Methods of disposal utilized by target industries will be determined
along with potential for resource recovery, including energy.
Residuals from air and water pollution control at targeted industries
will be characterized and existing disposal techniques assessed.
Impact;
Funding at this level will provide for the orderly continuation of all researclj
ongoing at the end of FY 79. In addition it will provide for some field
verification of small scale research. The primary objective of this research
is to. provide support for the regulatory positions taken under RCRA for the
management of solid waste, hazardous and non hazardous, and to provide a
basis for guidance to regions, governmental agencies and the private sector
pertinent to closing.out or upgrading open dumps. Not funding at this level
would mean a loss in prior research initiatives, and would place the Agency
in the position of enforcing regulations in many cases without an adequate
technical base.

Remedial Action: (1) Select an additional polluting site and initiate design
and evaluation of plume management or chemical immobilization. Evaluation
under Level 2 will not be sufficient to evaluate an array, of remedial
measures such as: in-situ neutralization, injection grouting, surface sealing,
slurry wall construction, in-situ fixation, leachate collection and treatment.
Industrial; Establish a program to develop techniques and/or technology to
minimize environmental problems created by hazardous material spills and
their clean up. Included will be technologies to detect, monitor, contain
and control gases and vapors released during these spills.
This program will be developed in consultation with Office of Water and
Waste Management, Office of Solid Wastes: Department of Transportation
and other agencies having responsibilities in this area.
Impact; Funding at this level is primarily directed towards further
improvement of the Agency's ability to provide guidance to regional and
governmental bodies on how to remedy pollution resulting from open dumps
and hazardous waste spills.
If.not funded the Agency will be lacking technical information and technology
for corrective action and technical advise to State Solid Waste Agencies
needed for development of regulations, required under RCRA and the implementa-
tion of such regulations thru application of environmentally sound technology
The ability of the Agency to provide technical advise and consultation to
State Solid Waste Agencies and local solid and hazardous waste management
authorities will be severely impaired.

7. Provide day-to-day guidance to Regional and State permit writers on
the procedural and financial responsibility requirements of the Section 3004
regulations. The financial responsibility requirements will require
considerable attention because of their cost impacts and the lack of prior
experience in this area. ' '
8. Oversee the Regional authorization of State hazardous waste programs
and provide day-to-day guidance for this effort.
9. Manage and oversee the State inventory of land disposal facilities
for the classification of adequate and inadequate facilities. (Inadequate
facilities must be closed or upgraded.) Compile (including some validation)
and publish the required Federal inventory of such facilities. Provide
guidance to Regional and State personnel on interpretation of the Section
4004 landfill criteria. ..... 3..,,.^.*.
10. Manage and oversee the process for the development of comprehensive
State solid waste management plans and State programs including regulation
of non-hazardous wastes and resource recovery and conservation programs.
Provide support to the Regions and States in the development of these plans
and programs.
Impacts
Establishes a base capability to direct the national solid waste manage-
ment program mandated by RCRA. Completes the initial promulgation of the
major mandated regulations and provides guidance to the Regions for their
implementation efforts.
Not funding would totally relinquish our responsibilities under RCRA.
Public health and the environment would be unnecessarily endangered as EPA
would not be providing national leadership in solid waste management.

1. Complete the development of amendments to the Section 3004 disposal
standards to provide special, tailored disposal standards for several problem
wastes. Because of technological and economic impact problems, some wastes
will not be fully covered in.the promulgation of the Section 3004 standards in
January 1980. . , - """"
2. Complete the development of Section 1008 guidelines for landfillirig -
and landspreading for promulgation in January 1980. Continue development of
and propose guidelines for surface impoundments. These provide the technical
'guidance for complying with the Section 4004 landfill criteria and will be used
in State permit or permit-like regulatory programs for controlling the disposal
of municipal and non-hazardous industrial solid waste.
3. Complete the development of Section 1008 guidelines for the disposal
of special industrial wastes (usually large volume wastes)is>tljat^will not be
listed or defined as hazardous wastes. This includes wastes from the ferrous
and non-ferrous metals, inorganic chemicals, utility, pulp and paper, textiles
and food processing industries.
4. Complete development, begin implementating, and manage the management
information system for tracking permit data, notifications, and data from
manifest reports.
Impacts
Increases the Agency's ability to curb improper disposal practices by
providing specific disposal standards for certain problem wastes and for three
major disposal methods.
Not funding will limit the technical guidance provided to that in the major
regulations. It will not provide the specific guidance needed by many munici-
palities, industries, and facility operators trying to meet the disposall_stand
ards under Sections 3004 or 4004.

Hazardous Waste Management Implementation (D210)
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
1. To assure that all hazardous wastes are managed in a manner that will
protect public health and the environment.
Develop and assist State programs to implement hazardous waste
regulations, guidelines and policies.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In fiscal year 1978, much of the Regional effort was devoted to responding to
hazardous waste emergencies, such as the incidents at Wilsonville, Illinois,
and Love Canal in New York. There were many spills and smaller disposal
problems which required the Regions to analyze the situation, determine the
extent of damage, and make recommendations for cleanup and disposal actions.
The Regions assisted in, and supported, the development of State legislation
and State programs for hazardous waste control. Many conferences, workshops
and training sessions were held to familiarize the States with RCRA, its
requirements, and State responsibilities. The Regions were extensively
involved in the development of the Subtitle C regulations, by providing field
information, participating in working groups, reviewing numerous drafts, and
making direct contributions to the language of the regulations.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
During fiscal year 1979, it will become more clear which States will not be
assuming the hazardous waste program. The Regions will be strengthening
their capabilities to run a hazardous waste program for those States and to
oversee and support authorized States. They will begin implementation of a
management information system to handle data from notification, manifest,
and permit activities. Regions will review applications for and grant
limited interim authorization to States to conduct notification activities.
The Regions will continue to assist in and support the development of State
hazardous waste legislation and programs and applications for authorization.

This level will provide a basic core of hazardous waste expertise in
each Region. The Regions will be able to respond immediately to hazardous
waste emergencies, including conducting technical evaluations and providing
recommendations for cleanup and disposal. The Regions will continue to assist
in the development of regulations and guidelines by participating in working
groups, reviewing draft regulations, soliciting State and local comments,
and educating the States. Grant applications will be reviewed for the first
year of State hazardous waste grants and grants will be awarded. A similar
process will take place at the end of fiscal year 1980 for the award of
fiscal year 1981 grants. The Regions are responsible for authorizing State
hazardous waste programs to be carried out in lieu of Federal programs.
Considerable support will be provided to the States in their efforts to
strengthen State programs. The Regions will assist States in developing
authorization applications and will review the applications to determine
consistency, equivalency, adequacy of enforcement and stringency... i3.te.rim
and full authorizations will be approved or denied.
Impacts
Provides a base of resources for implement:! rg the RCRA-mandated
hazardous waste management program.
Not funding will endanger public health and the environment as the
Agency will not have the ability to respond to hazardous waste emergen-
cies. Hazardous waste regulations will not be adequately implemented as
no guidance and oversight will be provided to the States. The Agency will
not be able to operate the mandated Federal program for unauthorized States.

Most States will be either drafting new legislation or amending existing
legislation for control of hazardous wastes. The Regions will be providing
support and advice in drafting legislation, during the legislative process,
and in the development of regulations.
Impacts
Assisting States to develop their own legislation and regulations to
facilitate the assumption of the hazardous waste program will help to
fulfill the intent of RCRA that implementation take place primarily at
the State level.
Not funding will mean that fewer States will be able to receive auth-
orization and EPA will have to operate hazardous waste programs in
more States.

After grants have been awarded and States have received full or interim
authorization, Federal oversight is required to monitor State activities and
accomplishments against their work plan; identify problems for corrective
action; and ensure that State hazardous waste programs are equivalent in
practice to the Federal program. Besides continual contact with the States,
Regional oversight activities include reviewing quarterly State progress
reports; conducting up to 10% of facility inspections; reviewing up to 10% of
State granted permits; and conducting a thorough annual.review of each State
program.
Impacts
Will ensure that States fully implement the regulations and that they
complete the accomplishments in their grant work plans.
.Not funding will mean no oversight of State implementation activities.

At this level, the Regions will assist in the implementation of
management information systems in the 41 authorized States to record
notification data, permit data, and to track the movement of all hazardous
wastes using a manifest system. The Regions will assist in implementing
State manifest system and will oversee their operation by providing assistance
to States on interpretation and application of manifest requirements, and
providing assistance to generators, transporters, and facility operators
through workshops and seminars. There will be limited implementation of the
manifest system for those States for which the Region is operating the
hazardous waste program.
Impacts
The manifest system is an integral part of the program of "Cradle-to-grave'
control of hazardous wastes. It will allow the States and EPA to trace
the movement of all hazardous wastes from generation to ultimate disposal.
Not funding will eliminate Federal oversight of State manifest systems.
It would inhibit EPA's ability to have cradle-to-grave control, which
is needed to effe tively manage hazardous wastes.

For a ninety-day period after the promulgation of regulations under
Section 3001, generators and transporters of hazardous waste and owners or
operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities must
file with EPA or the authorized State a notification of its location, activity
and the listed wastes handled. The Regions will be granting limited interim
authorization to allow States to handle notification and will review State
notification activities. The Regions will conduct notification activities
for unauthorized States, including a review of the notifications, and will
refer all discrepancies to the Office of Enforcement.
Impacts
Notification provides the basis for determining who will be involved
in the hazardous waste regulatory program. It is the basis for knowing
who should apply for permits and who will be required to complete manifest
forms.
Not funding would eliminate the basic means of gathering the primary
information needed to effectively implement the hazardous waste program.

Based on notifications, 2-part permit applications will be mailed to
hazardous waste facilities. Part A will be brief, requiring only basic
information or readily available data, and will be completed and returned to
EPA. The Regions will then issue notices of interim permit status. As the
Part B applications (full pe'rmit applications) are received they will be
prioritized for later consideration. The Regions will also begin, to a very
limited extent, to issue full permits. The first facilities permitted will
most likely be some of the worst known facilities in order to speed their
upgrading or closure to best protect public health and the environment.
Considerable manpower will go into the issuance of these first permits.

Issuing notices of interim permit status will allow facilities""'
to continue operation until a full permit is issued and would provide
a basis for prioritizing applications for full permits.
Not funding would delay the issuance of any permits in unauthorized
States until FY 1981.

1. To assure that all solid and hazardous wastes are managed in a manner
that will protect public health and the environment.
Develop and assist State programs to implement solid waste
regulations, guidelines, and policies.
2. To conserve natural resources directly and through the management,
reuse, or recovery of solid and hazardous wastes.
- Develop State and regional programs for resource conservation
and recovery and establish resource conservation and recovery
as the preferred solid waste management approach whenever
C) FYTSACC^to&^TS*1 economicaHy feasible.
The Regions were involved in oversight of State progress toward meeting RCRA
requirements. Much of this involved assisting the States in the development
of comprehensive solid waste management plans. The process of State identi-
fication of regional boundaries and delegation of agency responsibilities
was completed and reviewed by the Regions. Regions assisted States in
examining their regulatory base for both Subtitles C and D. States were
assisted in preparing for the inventory of land disposal sites.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In FY 1979, the Regions will continue to assist States in assuming their
responsibilities under RCRA. The review of regional boundary identifications
and delegations of agency responsibilities will be completed, with additional
detail requested as necessary. States will continue to receive assistance
from the Regions in preparing the inventory. Regions will be examining
State regulatory bases and will be assessing existing State procedures
against the proposed landfill criteria in order to recommend areas where
State action is needed before initiating the inventory.

Provides the minimum Regional support needed to implement a national program
designed to develop and encourage methods for the disposal of solid waste
which are environmentally sound and which maximize the utilization of valuable
resources and to encourage resource conservation. At this level, all Regions
will negotiate and award State grants and will assist in the development of
comprehensive State solid waste management plans, including coordinating
development with other EPA programs, e.g., 208 Water Quality plans. Compre-
hensive plans are required by RCRA. Three Regions will begin to manage their
State land disposal inventory determinations which includes orienting State
personnel to inventory procedures, assisting in developing State inventory
protocols, monitoring the conduct of the inventory, coordinating with the
surface impoundment assessments, and overseeing site closings, upgradings, or
openings. Three Regions will administer and oversee their State grants and
two Regions will manage local resource recovery grants under :the President's
Urban Policy Program.
Impacts
Provides a base of resources -for implementing the Subtitle D requirements
of RCRA. It will provide a minimal program to develop and encourage environ-
mentally sound disposal practices and resource conservation and recovery.
Not funding will eliminate guidance to the States for conducting the
mandatory inventory of State disposal sites and developing comprehensive
solid waste management plans. There will be no Regional management of the
President's Urban Policy grant program.

Three additional Regions will manage their State land disposal inventory
determinations (total of 6), including monitoring conduct of the inventory,
coordination with the SDW surface impoundment assessments, and review of site
closing, upgrading, and opening procedures. The data from State inventories
will be used to publish the inventory of open dumps required iri Section.4005
of RCRA. Three additional Regions (total of 6) will administer their State
grants, including mid-year and final review and intermedia coordination. The
President's $15 million Urban Policy Program of local resource recovery grants
will be implemented and administered in four additional Regions (total of 6).
'Six Regions will assist in the development and implementation of adequate State
regulatory powers for land disposal of other than municipal solid waste by
assessing regulatory needs and providing support and advice in drafting legisla-
tion and during the legislative process. Two Regions will oversee implementa-
tion of State resource conservation programs and establish coordinated sludge
management programs in their Regions.
Impacts
Provides better management of grants in the President's Urban Policy Pro-
gram. Enables additional Regions to work toward full implementation of the
Subtitle D requirements.
Not funding would eliminate guidance to the States on establishing regula-
tory control over non-hazardous Industrial waste and would keep guidance on
conducting the inventory to a minimum.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
1. Although operational management of the Technical Assistance Panels
program is assigned to the Regions, Headquarters is responsible
for national program management by awarding and monitoring grants
to provide peer-matching technical assistance nationally, by
establishing ten Regional level-of-effort contracts for providing
technical assistance and by managing an evaluation reporting system
to ascertain the responsiveness, effectiveness, value and results
of the technical assistance provided.
2. Provide technical assistance on resource conservation and recovery
matters for requests that cannot be met by peer-matching, one
of the contracts, or Regional technical assistance personnel.
Because most of the expertise in resource recovery resides in
Headquarters, direct EPA delivery of such assistance, where required,
must come from Headquarters. Direct delivery of assistance-, in
other areas, where required, will be a Regional responsibility.
3. Manage public hearings f.or and public participation in the
development of all regulations and guidelines. Approximately
30 public meetings and hearings will be held.
4. Manage the orientation workshops for new State and Regional
employees.
5. Provide limited publishing services by editing and preparing for
publication only mandated reports to Congress and the President
and other major reports. Prepare responses to all Agency
executive and Congressional controlled correspondence.
Impacts
Fulfills the requirement that 20% of the budget (Abatement and Control
minus grants) be allocated to technical assistance and provides for
overall management of the technical assistance program.
Not funding would require that resources be taken from other activities
to fulfill the 20% requirement.

1. Maintain liaison with environmental and other public interest groups.
Carry out the second year of a three-year program of regional
meetings and workshops to involve the public in shaping national,
State and local solid and hazardous waste management programs
and policies, including policies on disposal -facility siting which
appears to be becoming the principal impediment to proper ultimate
disposal of wastes.
2. Update the orientation workshops, training manual, and short
technical courses for new State and Regional employees.
3. Edit and prepare for printing all reports to Congress, and the
President, technical reports, journal articles, information
pamphlets and news releases. Distribute over 750,000 publications
in response to 25,000 requests. These are centralized functions
which would otherwise have to be carried out by those whose '
primary responsibility is the development of regulations, guidelines
and policies.
Impacts
Continues a successful program of educating and involving the
public, at a very low cost to the Agency, on solid waste management
issues. Helps obtain public support for State solid waste legislation
and programs, and helps overcome public resistance to siting solid
waste treatment and disposal facilities.
Not funding would eliminate a vital means of communicating with
the public and of obtaining their views and ideas. It would not be
following this Administration's and this Agency's sentiments on public
participation and involvement.

Financial assistance will be given to all States which show a good faith
effort to run a hazardous waste program that is substantially equivalent to
the Federal hazardous waste program. Grants are awarded on the basis of a
formula which takes into account a State's land, area, population, number of
hazardous waste generators and amount of hazardous waste. In FY 1980, States
will be in the first year of a two-year interim authorization period, so
funding is vital to the States in this fiscal year. The following activities
describe a State hazardous waste program substantially equivalent to the
.Federal program:
a. Hazardous waste emergencies will be handled as they occur.
b. Assistance will be given on disposal of hazardous wastes on a
case-by-case basis.
c; Public-'information and management functions will be estabi.$i&h$d:..«
d. Regulations and guidelines, equivalent to the Federal regulations
developed under Subtitle C of RCRA, will be developed for all
aspects of hazardous waste management including generation, storage,
treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes.
e. An application package for full authorization will be developed
and submitted.
f. A management information system will be established for tracking
compliance with the manifest system.
g. The manifest system will be monitored and enforcement action will
be taken against the violators.
h. Notification activities will be conducted and notice of interim
permit status will be issued to all owners o,r operators of
hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities filing
notifications.
il Voluntary compliance with State regulations will be encouraged
through seminars, workshops, etc.
j. Full permit applications will be evaluated and permits issued to
hazardous waste treatment', storage and disposal facilities as
resources allow.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
Despite the fact that the regulations will not be final until mid-1980,
many States will proceed with their hazardous waste programs. Those that have
legislation may amend it to be as consistent as possible with the Subtitle C
regulations; others will likely obtain the necessary legislation.
Funding at this level will provide for only the most basic needs of most
State hazardous waste programs. At this level, many States will find the
funding insufficient to effectively carry out a hazardous waste management
program and will therefore decline to do so. EPA is required, under RCRA, to
operate a hazardous waste program for those States that do not. States will
be able to respond to hazardous waste emergencies, provide case-by-case
assistance on disposal problems, conduct routine business, develop and
implement regulations, and conduct notification activities. Grants would
range from $56,250 to $1,122,412, with an average of $200,890.
Note; At the discretion of the Administrator and with Congressional-*"- ""
concurrence, unobligated grant funds remaining after negotiation with States
in a Region and funds for which no grant application has been received, may
be used to meet the costs of a required Federal program in any State which
has not applied for, or has been denied full or interim authorization.
Impact s
Provides very limited funding that would enable those
States seeking authorization to operate at a minimal level.
No funding would assure that few, if any, States would
be willing to operate a hazardous waste program and the Agency
would be required to do so.

Funding at this level may induce a few more States to accept the
program, thereby relieving EPA to its mandate in those States. Funding would
provide for investigation of discrepancies in notifications and for notices
of interim permit status to be sent to all hazardous waste facilities filing
notifications. Permit applications received would be prioritized for later
review. Installation of management information systems for compiling permit
data and tracking manifests would begin. Grants would range from $67,500 to
$1,346,095, with an average of $241,070.
Impacts
This level would increase each grant by an average of only
$41,000. Some additional implementation would be possible,
primarily the States would be able to handle notification and
issuance of interim permit status. -~ -.;. ir» --rt --
Not funding would keep the State programs at a very minimal
level, and full implementation of the RCRA requirements would not
take place on the State level.

At this level, 15 States are expected to decline to operate a hazardous
waste program. Installation of management information systems would
continue, with States using either an EPA-developed APP system or
implementing their own manual or automated system. Tracking manifest data
will provide States with the information required to take enforcement
actions against violators.
Impacts
Most of the basic State implementation will be completed
at this level. States seeking authorization should have opera-
tional programs in place. Permits will still not be issued at
this level.
Not funding would mean that many States would not be able
to implement a manifest system, which is one of the basic require
ments in Subtitle C of RCRA. "Cradle-to-grave" control of
hazardous wastes is impossible without a nationwide manifest
system,

Limited issuance of permits to hazardous waste treatment, storage and
disposal facilities will begin at this level. States will most likely issue
their first permits to some of the worst known facilities in order to speed
their closure or upgrading to best protect public health and the envrionment.
Considerable manpower will go into the issuance of these permits and
extensive public participation is anticipated.
Impacts
States would be able to start proceedings against the worst
known facilities through the permit process. Compliance
schedules would be established for closure or upgrading to
ensure protection of public health and the environment.
Not funding would mean that issuance of permits woul:d not
begin until FY 1981.

Impacts
The increase would go entirely for the issuance of permits
States would continue to issue permits for the worst known
facilities.

B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
1. To assure that all solid wastes are managed in a manner that will
protect public health and the environment.
Provide financial assistance to States for the development of
solid waste plans; the conversion of existing open dumps to
facilities which do not pose a threat to public health and the
environment; the prohibition of future open dumping; and the
establishment of resource conservation and recovery as the
preferred solid waste management approach whenever technically
and economically feasible.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Grants in this decision unit are awarded on the basis of State
population, with 75 percent Federal funding. In FY 1978, States completed
the process of identifying boundaries of geographic regions which would
promote resource conservation and recovery and facilitate sound land
disposal practices; and of identifying State and local agency responsibilities
as required by Section 4006 of RCRA. States began developing comprehensive
solid waste management plans which would meet the requirement of Section ._
4003 of RCRA to: 1) identify regions and agency responsibilities;' 2)" ^
prohibit new open dumps; 3) close or upgrade existing open dumps; 4)
establish adequate State regulatory powers; 5) remove prohibitions on
longterm contracting for resource recovery facilities; and 6) provide
for environmentally sound recovery or disposal of all solid waste.
States began preparing to conduct the inventory and they developed
applications and work plans jautlining their planned accomplishments for
State grants (Subtitles C'& D) for fiscal year 1979.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In FY 1979, States will continue the comprehensive planning process.
Based on Regional assessments, more detail may be required for the
designation of agency responsibilities. They will continue to draft and
support- passage of legislation and regulations to provide them with an
adequate regulatory base to assume their responsibilities under RCRA.
This includes regulations for both municipal and industrial waste for
permitting new disposal sites; rightofentry for onsite industrial waste
disposal; site monitoring and inspection requirements; compliance scheduling;
longterm contract prohibitions; and administrative and judicial enforcement
mechanisms. States will continue preparing for the inventory by assessing
existing regulations against the proposed landfill criteria and taking
action to remedy any inadequacies in their legislation; developing
appeal and other administrative procedures; and beginning to locate
sites.

Funding at this level will continue EPA support of State solid waste
programs at a. greatly reduced level for State plan development, inventory of
municipal solid waste land disposal sites, and regulation of land disposal
of municipal solid waste. Normal work quality would .be maintained, but .all
work outputs would be 'reduced in quantity. State plans would be completed
or updated, according to the requirements of Section 4002(b) of RCRA. ' The
inventory of municipal solid waste sites will be continued. Proposed land
disposal sites would be evaluated upon request, generally within 60 days.
'Most States will review plans, and permits for new facilities will be issued
as appropriate, usually within 180 days of their receipt. Most States vill
inspect permitted facilities semi-annually. No activity will occur in the
areas of grouridwater monitoring or compliance. Grants are awarded on the
basis of State population and would range from $42,000 to $774,310, with an
average of $150,000.
Impacts
The basic capability to manage solid wastes would be provided. However,
cutbacks of State personnel would accompany this level of funding.
Not funding would mean States would not have the resources required to
meet two of the major mandates of RCRA: 1) completion of State plans, and
2) elimination of open dumps, the first step of which is to conduct an inven-r
tory of all disposal sites.

sites will be evaluated upon request within 45 days; plans will be reviewed
and permits issued as appropriate, usually within 120 days of-receipt (25%
faster). Permitted, facilities will be inspected by most' States at least
every 120 days. No activity in groundwater monitoring of compliance. ' Cut-
backs of State personnel would still occur at this level. Grants would range
from $50,400 to $929,170, with an average of $180,000.
Impacts
The States' ability to conduct the inventory and establish State regula-
tory controls over non-hazardous waste disposal would be slightly improved,
but still inadequate.
Not funding would leave State solid waste management program at a bare
minimum level - a level entirely inadequate to fulfill RCRA mandates.

. Funding at this level will provide for the States to complete the process
of designating agency responsibilities State-wide for municipal solid waste
collection, as required by Section 4006 of RCRA. The inventory of an additional
5% of municipal solid waste disposal sites will be completed. Proposed land
disposal sites will be evaluated upon request, generally"within 30 days. Most
plans will be reviewed and permits issued as appropriate, usually within 90
dyas of their receipt. Permitted facilities will be inspected quarterly by
.most States. There will still be no activity in the area of groundwater moni-
'toring. Grants would range from $53,100 to $978,950, with an average of
$189,642.
Impacts
This level would increase each State grant by an average of only $9,000,
and would make the review of proposals and the issuance of State peTrlnit's^fo'f '
new disposal sites 25% faster.
Not funding would still mean that the inventory of municipal solid waste
disposal sites would be incomplete and the inventory of other types of disposal
sites would not be initiated.

States will be able to take a much more active role in monitoring and
enforcing their land disposal regulations. Groundwater monitoring wells will
be installed at the majority of inventoried open dumps which are expected to
adversely affect groundwater quality. Compliance schedules will be established
for all inventoried open dumps. Monitoring and follow-up will be carried out
as the compliance schedules dictate. Resource conservation and recovery pro-
grams will be initiated in many States to remove prohibitions on long-term
contracts for the supply of solid waste to resource recovery facilities, as
'required by Section 4003(5) of RCRA. Grants would range from $56,000 to
$1,032,420, with an average of $200,000.
Impacts
This level will bring the States back to the 1979 level of funding.
Groundwater monitoring, essential to detect possible leaching, would.begin at
many inventoried sites and States would begin to enforce their own laws based
on the Section 4004 landfill criteria.
Not funding would mean a cutback in State solid waste programs and a less
aggressive role in monitoring and enforcing their land disposal regulations.

.This level will allow the States to complete the process under Section 4006
of RCRA designating agency responsibilities State-wide for non-hazardous indus-
trial wastes. Over 300 million metric tons are generated annually and in most
States these wastes are unregulated. The inventory, of 100% of the municipal
solid waste disposal sites will be completed, and States "will begin to inventory
industrial waste disposal sites and industrial surface impoundments (over
100,000 existing sites). States will develop operational powers and processes
for control of non-hazardous industrial wastes. Grants will range from
'$67,200 to $1,238,900, with an average of $253,640.
Impacts
The increase would provide for the completion of the inventory of municipal
solid waste disposal sites, the first step in eliminating open dumps. Inven-
tories, of industrial waste disposal sites and surface impoundments
Not funding would delay completion of the first step of the inventory until
FY 1981.

Award $14.2 million in grants under the President's Urban Policy Program of
approximately $300,000 to $500,000 apiece to 25-45 urban areas for planning
and development of resource recovery and conservation projects. This will
continue a program begun in FY 1979 and will provide additional cities with
front-end planning and implementation grants. It will also provide follow-up
funding to the cities funded in FY 1979. This will overcome one of the major
barriers to resource recovery implementation and result in a greatly expanded
rate of closing open dumps in urban areas. It will also have a positive
economic and labor impact on urban areas. Grant funds may be used to imple-
ment a resource recovery plant, a source separation program, or a waste
reduction project. Qualifying cities may use the funds to perform any of the
following type of activities:
a. Waste stream surveys
b. Market surveys and development
c. Financial analyses
d. Public participation and education
e. Selection of procurement, technology, financing options
f. Site selection
g. Preparation of appropriate bid documents
h. Evaluation of bids on proposals
i. Finalizing contracts for systems, markets, waste supply
j. Analysis and design of necessary ordinances or legislation
Impacts
Will improve the decisionmaking process for implementation of resource
recovery facilities. Will increase the rate of implementation and the
chances for success of many resource recovery facilities.
Not funding would be to totally ignore the President's commitment
to this program.

SOLID WASTE ENFORCEMENT (D305) REG. APPROEnforcemen
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES The fundamental goal of the solid waste
enforcement program is to protect the public health and environment from risks
posed by hazardous wastes through enforcement of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), particularly regulations promulgated under Sub-
title C. This goal is accomplished by supporting ithe design of a hazardous
waste "cradle-to-grave" management system which is most amenable to an effec-
tive compliance monitoring and inspection effort. ! Specific program objectives
in support of this goal include development and implementation of inspection
and compliance monitoring programs to ensure compliance with RCRA; development
of a RCRA permit processing/compliance system; development and utilization of
appropriate remedies for the enforcement of RCRA; isupport for Regional case
preparations/prosecutions initiated under authority of RCRA; and assistance
to the Office of Solid Waste in the development of! regulations and national
oli^ Pfsuant " ?c*4- . . ... ^ . .
Major FY-78 accomplishments of the solid waste enforc
ment program include: implementation of Regional ireporting mechanism regard-
ing hazardous waste emergencies; development of guidance for Regional exercise
of RCRA 87003 imminent' hazard authority; development of national RCRA Subtitle
C enforcement strategy; development of rules of prjactice governing enforcement
and compliance related hearings initiated under RQRA; development of interim
RCRA penalty policy; formulation of initial enforcement policy regarding draft
RCRA regulations and guidelines; and provision ofjanalysis and assistance to
the Office of Solid Waste regarding development of! draft RCRA regulations and
guidelines. . j
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION FY-79 activities of the solid waste enforcement
program include: finalization of all Subtitle C inspection, sampling, and
compliance monitoring procedures; development of final RCRA penalty policy;
training of Regional personnel regarding implementation of RCRA enforcement
program; supporting Regional review of State plans for adequacy of enforcement
support for Regional case preparation/prosecution activities initiated under
authority of RCRA 87003; assisting the Office of Solid Waste in development of
final RCRA regulations; development of Regional guidance regarding enforcement
oversight function in States authorized to manage a hazardous waste program;
and development of cooperative enforcement agreements with the Department of
Transportation and other federal agencies.

FORM 1: DECISION UNIT OVERVIEW
A) DECISION UNIT TITLE (AND CODE) HQ MEDIA:
SOLID WASTE ENFORCEMENT (D305)
REG. XX APPRCfinforcement
B) LONG RANGE GOALS & MAJOR OBJECTIVES
The fundamental goal of the solid waste
enforcement program is to protect the public health and the environment from
risks posed by hazardous wastes through enforcement of the Resource Conserva-
tion and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), particularly regulations promulgated
under Subtitle C. The major program objective in support of this goal is to
implement a compliance monitoring and enforcement effort regarding those RCRA
regulatory requirements that will define the parameters of the national hazard
ous waste management system (Subtitle C). This effort will include conducting
inspetions, initiating enforcement actions as appropriate, administering the
RCRA permit program, and overseeeing the performance of enforcement programs
conducted by States authorized to implement a hazardous waste management
program.
C) FY 78 ACCOMPLISHMENTS No Regionai solid waste enforcement program existed
in FY-78. FY-79 is the first year that positions will be allocated in this
decision unit to the Regions.
D) FY 79 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION FY-79 will be the initial "start-up" year for the
Regional program. Final Subtitle C regulations will not yet be in place.
Major Regional enforcement activities will include: establishment of coordina
ting procedures for the reporting and investigation of hazardous waste emer-
gencies; initiation of enforcement actions as appropriate in response to hazar
ous waste emergencies; design of an efficient mechansim to receive process, an
issue hazardous waste disposal facility permits; review of State hazardous
waste plans for adequacy of enforcement; and support for a national effort to
induce voluntary compliance with RCRA by initiating contact with affected indu
try and State enforcement personnel. In addition, due to the start-up nature
of FY-79 Regional personnel are expected to invest significant time in review-
ing Headquarters policy/guidance material and attending Headquarters sponsored
training sessions so as to establish an adequate level of Regional RCRA enforc
ment expertise in anticipation of the advancing pace of implementation of the
RCRA program which will occur in FY-80/81.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
ACTIVITIES
At this level all Regions are allocated a minimal solid waste enforcement
staff. Top priority activity at this level is the investigation of hazard-
ous waste emergency incidents for the purpose of determining the propriety
of requesting immediate injunctive relief pursuant to RCRA §7003. It is
not anticipated that resources at this level will be completely allocated
to this activity. Rather, emergency incidents will occur from time to time
with unpredictable frequency. On these occasions investigation and subse-
quent litigation activities regarding emergency incidents will be performed
In addition, resources at this level provide for enforcement of the RCRA
83010 notification requirement; support of the national effort to induce
voluntary industry compliance with RCRA; establishment of Regional priori-
ties/procedures regarding enforcement oversight of authorized States; estab
lishment of Regional priorities/procedures regarding federal enforcement of
the RCRA program in unauthorized States; minimal capability to conduct
hazardous waste inspections; and a minimal capability to review State
hazardous waste management plans for adequacy of enforcement.
IMPACT
Funding establishes a baseline Regional solid waste enforcement capa-
bility. Resources provide for emergency response, establishment of
Regional solid waste enforcement priorities/procedures.
Not funding eliminates Regional solid waste enforcement program. No
resources allocated for emergency response. Regions do not adequately
prepare for full scale RCRA implementation in FY-81.

C. DESCRIBE THE INCREMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF THIS LEVEL ONLY. DESCRIBE THE BENEFITS
OF FUNDING AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING.
ACTIVITIES
This level provides resources for performance of basic RCRA implementation
activities that will be required when Subtitle C regulations are promulga-
ted in January, 1980.
All Regions attain capability to review State plans for adequacy of enforce
ment and to perform basic program activities. In addition, all Regions
attain capability to direct the administrative processing of RCRA permit
applications; attain minimal capability to review federally issued permits
for enforceability; increase capability to monitor compliance with the RCRA
manifest system; attain minimal capability to oversee performance of
enforcement programs in authorized States; emergency response, inspection,
enforcement action capability increase substantially.
IMPACT
Funding provides resources for performance of basic solid waste enforce-
ment activities that will be required subsequent to promulgation of
final RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations. Minimal capability
to enforce national hazardous waste management program as defined by
those regulations is established.
Not funding eliminates substantive enforcement of hazardous waste
management regulations. Review of enforceability of RCRA permits does
not occur; oversight of State enforcement is not performed; level of
enforcement actions/inspections initiated is low; enforcement of nationa
RCRA program lacks credibility.
