ACUTE PROBLEMS l) overload felt keenly by Branch and Section Chiefs who are performing staff work extensively,
on special projects such as RIS and PQR (Above assignments leave .1 wy for each S.C.uo
supervise/manage staff.
2) lack of depth/back-up Halts coverage and responsiveness and diverts resources when urgent requests
hit.
3) high priority work, eg. RIS, LO PQR follow-up and incinerator PQR, cannot be funded in KY<*1 with
existing staff who are (1) junior (2) technically focused and/or (3) not experienced in issues
involved.
4) RCRIS and RCRA reauthorization receive no AB focus despite their future impacts on KCRA
implementation programs.
DISINVESTMENTS 1) Eliminate work on N-H rule and guidance beyond proposal, 2) postpone work on LO rules transferred
from WMD until resources available, 3) continue disinvestment from Land Disposal TA until N-M work
winds down, 4) postpone Incinerator PQR until back-up for Sonya Sasseville can be brought on.
HIRING MEEDS Senior chemical engineer for waste combustion and Subpart X work (also RDfcD) (vice Son/a, Neater).
Additional LD hiring would cancel out disinvestments in LD area.
