INTRODUCTION
This publication provides information about the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) research, demonstration, training, and
fellowship awards during the period April 1977 - September 1977.
It is a companion publication to State and Local Grant Awards
which lists awards to State and Local agencies.
The data is organized into two sections:
Section One - Georgraphic listing by State and program.
Section Two - Grant Number Index and brief project
descriptions arranged in ascending
order of the Grant Identification
Number.
Project descriptions were, for the most part, prepared by the
grantees and are provided only for those grants administered by the
EPA Headquarters office. The inclusion of this information has
proven to be very useful from a management aspect as well as in
meeting and fulfilling requirements for providing information to
the public.
The Grant Number Index is provided as an aid for cross-
referencing information between the two sections. Locating a
grant number in this index, the reader will find the name of
the applicant and the State location. By referring to that State's
listing(s) in Section One, information on that particular grant
will be found.
This material was prepared by Lynn Szedon with the assistance
of Sandra Artis and Donna Whitaker. We have made what we feel are
a few improvements to this publication. The title, formerly the
Awards Register, Vo1ume I, has been changed, as well as the cover
design.One of the major improvements is in the format and content
of the project descriptions. Additional information, such as the
starting and completion dates, amount of funds obligated, and the
EPA Task Code has been included. The Smithsonian Science Information
Exchange maintains a computerized file of project summaries for use
by the general scientific community. We have, with the assistance
of the Office of Research and Development, utilized this file for
most of the project descriptions listed in Section Two.
Any comments or criticisms should be directed to Lynn Szedon,
Grants Operations Branch (PM-216), Grants Administration Division,
on (202) 755-3370.

EPA REPORTS BIBLIOGRAPHY QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENT
(sponsored by Library Systems Branch)
The EPA Cumulative Bibliography 1970-1976 published in December
1976 (NTIS Number PB265920, price quote obtained from NTIS)
contains a bibliographic citation with abstracts for reports
generated by EPA and its predecessor agencies and entered into
the NTIS collection through 1976. Access points to this infor-
mation are by Report Title, Subject (keyword), Corporate or
Personal Author, Contract Number, and Accession/Report Number.
Beginning in March 1977, quarterly update supplements will be
published listing and indexing EPA technical reports and journal
articles entered into the NTIS collection during the preceding
quarter. An additional index titled "Sponsoring EPA Office" is
included as well. The fourth quarterly issue will cumulate and
become the annual index for the year.
To order documents or subscriptions, contact the National Technical
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia
22161. Do not order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If what you have ordered is in stock on hand, you should receive
your order within two weeks after it arrives at NTIS. If what
you have ordered must be reproduced from a microform, or if all
the paper copies have been sold and reprints are in process, you
should receive your order within four to six weeks. Infrequently,
orders may be further delayed by a contractor's inability to
deliver to NTIS. You will be notified if such a delay is expected.
The EPA Reports Bibliography Quarterly Supplement series is available
on annual subscription from NTIS at a cost of $45.00 for North
American Continent users (single copies, when available, are $12.50

AT BEST, THIS IS BECAUSE tt) OXIDANT YIELDS IN CHAMBERS ARE STRONGLY
DEPENDENT ON WALL CHARACTERISTICS, NITRQGEN^ALDEHYDES CHEMISTRY, CHAM
BER LIGHT INTENSITIES AND EXPERIMENTAL TEMPERATURES AND 2,) THE DYNAMIC PR
OCE8SES OF INJECTION, DILUTION AND MIXING IN REAL ATMOSPHERES ARE NOT WELL
REPRESENTED BY JUST IRRADIATING MORNING URBAN CONCENTRATIONS IN A SMOG

IN OUR PHOTOCHEMICAL MQQEL WILL MAK£ IT POSSIBLE TO BETTER QUANTIFY THE MO
ST IMPORTANT REGIONS OF HYDROCARBON NOX»OXIDANT CONTROL STRATEGY DIAGRAMS,
SOME OF THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODEL WILL COME FROM THE RESULTS OF
OUR PROPOSED SMOG EXPERIMENTS WHICH WILL ISOLATE THE INFLUENCE OF NITRIC
AND NITROUS ACID, ALDEHYDE, PAN, CARBON MQNOXIDEi ARQMATICS AND LESS RE
ACTIVE HYDROCARBON MATERIALS ON SMOG SYSTEMS, SINCE MOST OF THIS WORK WILL
BE DONE ON STATIC SMOG CHAMBER SYSTEMS, CONTINUED EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO SIMULATE REAL ATMOSPHERIC SMOG CONDITIONS BY USING SOPHISTICATED PA
TTERNS OF CONTINUED INJECTION AND DILUTION IN THE CHAMBER, SIMULTANEOUSLY,
STATIC ANALOG EXPERIMENTS WILL BE CONDUCTED WITH THESE VERY COMPLEX
EXPERIMENTS, THIS INFORMATION WILL THEN BE USED TO RECONSTRUCT MOD

The aim of the investigation of urban street cleaning is threefold: (a) To
identify and analyze activities affecting mechanized street cleaning; to develop
mathematical and simulation models with which present practice can be evaluated;
(b) To collect data in order to establish an extensive data base for a specific
urban district; (c) T o design and evaluate implementable policy changes that would
increase the effectiveness of the operation. These objectives are realized in terms
of six specific tasks: (1) Creation of a computer data bank for the experimental
, ^$ .
district (completed); (2) Development of a litter generation model (in progress);
(3) Evaluation and modification of the routing of mechanical sweepers (planned);
(4) Quantitative evaluation of the effect of illegally parked cars on street
sweeping (completed); (5) Design of policies for the enforcement of parking
regulations (in progress); (6) Analysis of the overall problem (planned).

The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness and economic
impacts of alternatives for controlling the loss of sediment, nutrients, and other
pollutants from irrigated areas. Field work will be conducted in two irrigated areas
in southern Idaho to (1) quantify the effect of tillage, irrigation and management
practices on the quantity and quality of return flow from irrigated areas and (2) eval-
uate the effectiveness of settling ponds, vegetated strips, and other devices in re-
moving sediment and other materials from the surface runoff from irrigated fields. Se-
lected fields and pollutant removal systems will be instrumented so that all inflows
and outflows can be continuously monitored. Flow samples will be collected at regular
intervals and analyzed for sediment, nitrogen, phosphorous, and other constituents.
Water, sediment, and nutrient balances will be established for each field site.
Enterprise and farm budgets will be developed to determine the costs and returns
for the alternatives considered relative to their effectiveness in controlling sur-
face runoff and pollutant losses. The aggregate effects of reducing the loss of sed-
iment and other pollutants from irrigated areas will also be determined.

The objective of the project is to build a true monitor instrument capable of
recording the mass distribution of aerosols in the laboratory and in the field.
Time constants will range from minutes or less for source emissions to several
hours for unpolluted air (background aerosol). A subordinate objective is to
facilitate size-selective sampling of particulate matter of very low airborne
concentration for subsequent physical and chemical analysis. The design makes
use of the concept of the Stober spiral duct centrifuge for aerosols and in-
corporates a number of quartz oscillators as size-selective mass sensors along
the duct. Current plans anticipate a prototype instrument for continuous
sampling and telemetric mass distribution data acquisition in the size range
between 0,3 and 5 ym diameter. Preceding studies have shown that the size range
can be extended (0,08 to 10 um) and that the concept of the quartz oscillator
as a sensitive piezo-electric microbalance has considerably less restrictions
when applied in a spinning spiral duct centrifuge than under normal gravity
conditions without size selection.

It is the objective of this project to develop a strategy of insect
control in which a complex of closely-related species (apple pests) is
controlled with a defined mixture of pheromone components. A number of
species, e.g. the redbanded, obliquebanded, threelined and fruittrees
leafroller moths, use the same pheromone components but in different
ratios and with the addition of other components. Tests will be conducted
to define the effect on pheromone trap orientation by permeating the air
with each component alone and then in certain mixtures. The best disrup-
tant will be used in pilot studies in which flight orientation and mating
efficiency are monitored. If positive results are obtained, the method
will be used in a pest management project now underway in New York apple
orchards. Pheromone components will be emitted from hollow fibers.

Objectives: (1) To determine the source, transfer and transformation of potential pol-
jlutants on a rangeland watershed grazed by beef cows. (2) To determine and monitor the
hydrologic and meteorologic parameters necessary to establish the water budget and move-
ment of potential pollutants from a rangeland watershed in Central Oklahoma. (3) To
determine effects of environmental conditions on the rate of degradation of grazing
cattle feces on rangeland. (4) To determine effects ol cattle waste concentrauion,
chemical composition and distribution on levels of potential pollutants in rangeland
soils.
Approach:
The water budget of the 70 hectare watershed will be determined by measuring pre-
cipitation, soil water storage, and runoff. Evapotranspiration will be determined by
difference and from meteorological data. The source, transfer and transformation of
potential pollutants will be determined by measuring selected nutrient levels in soil,
plant, precipitation, feces and runoff water and sediment samples. Seasonal rates of
degradation will be determined by periodically measuring the quantity and chemical com-
position of feces and selected soil, plant and microclimatic factors. Forage chemical
composition and utilization, cattle diet and grazing behavior, and feces and urine dis-
tribution will be also determined periodically.
Current Plans:
The soil, vegetation, and topographic surveys will begin as soon as funding is
granted. Soil, plant and cattle studies will begin after the surveys and inventories
are completed. Heterological studies will begin after the necessary instruments are
purchased and made operational on the watershed. Runoff water and sediment sampling
will begin as soon as construction of the weir and installation of the sampler is com-
pleted. Laboratory analysis will be conducted with minimum time lapse after collection.

The method of digital photo electron auto-correlation technique
in Laser Doppler Spectroscopy (LDB) is applied in determining
essentially the size of particulates in aerosols and hydrosls
in the laboratory. The application of the technique in the
characterization of the scattered and transmitted light will
be investigated. The results will be compared with the rela-
tively unexplored but reliable conventional scattering measure-
ments based on Specific turbidity and Turbididity spectrum.
The validity of the results will be further tested by Electron
microscopic measurements.
The development of the above methods and their relative merits
with respect to other routine methods in their application to
the in-situ monitoring of particulates in stationary source
emission will be studied and critically discussed. The results
obtained by the proposed research are expected to indicate
greater accuracy, speed, and ease of measurement which makes
the technique employed potentially important in the field of
pollution monitoring, especially in the determination of par-
ticulate size in smoke plumes.

The principal objective of this grant is to demonstrate feasibility
of on-line pest control which utilizes ecosystem models in pest management
programs. Our approach is to use the models synchronized with real time
environmental information concerning the abiotic and biotic state of the
pest crop ecosystem. This will be accomplished by concurrent developments
in eight principal areas: (a) multiterminal interface programs for
integrating economic abiotic and biotic information, (b) ecosystem models,
(c) algorithms for updating models from field information, (d) microclimatic
models, (e) spatial variations in a multispecies ecosystem, (f) determi-
nation of biological windows using the models and appropriate management
strategies, (gj economic models that determine the economic thresholds
using the environmental and biological information of the pest crop ecosystem,
market conditions, etc., and (h) evaluation of the different management
strategies. Models have been developed for host crop, pest populations,
and two parasitoids. Microclimatic models which relate soil temperature at
various depths to air temperature were developed.

The primary objective of this demonstration is to demonstrate the technical
and economic feasibility of composting raw dewatered municipal sewage sludge
by high rate suction aeration under the adverse elimatic conditions typically
experienced by many of the municipalities located in the New England,
Great Lakes, Midwestern, and Northwestern states. Secondary objectives
consist of a wide range of operational and procedural elements all related
directly or indirectly to the physical location and climatological conditions
of this demonstration.
The sludge will be delivered to the site once per week at a volume of
approximately 50 cu. yd. Upon arrival at the site wood chips are mixed with
the sludge at a ratio of 3:1, wood chips to sludge by volume. The mixture
is then moved to the composting area which is a concrete pad with two twenty
feet lengths of pipe connected to a blower. The blower operates at two
minute intervals every twenty minutes. The blower draws air through the
mixture and assists the composting pile in achieving higher and more even
temperature distribution. The wood chips absorb moisture and create voids
which also assist in the thermal distribution and assist in keeping a
constant oxygen content. Temperatures must exceed 55 degrees Centigrade
throughout the pile to insure complete pathogen kill. Therefore, temperature
and oxygen content must be monitored daily. The entire process takes
approximately fourteen days. An additional thirty days of curing after the
pile is removed from the blower area is recommended before use, as the pile
will continue to compost naturally. The final product is useful as a
supplement to commercial fertilizer and can assist in lowering the cost of
maintaining public land. Also the disposal of sludge is eliminated and if
successful this process will eliminate the need for expensive digesters
presently used in secondary waste water treatment plants.
The demonstration will commence in May 1975.

A. The overall objective of the project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a
physical-chemica1 and biological liquid waste treatment plant in treating leachate
collected from a land solid waste disposal site. Associated with the overall
objective, alternative treatment sequences will be evaluated with regard to
technical effectiveness and economics of operation.
B. The specific objectives of this project will be met by two actions. First, the
treatment plant will be operated in five (5) modes: 1. Chemical-Physical Treatment
followed by an Aerobic Biological Treatment, 2. Chemica1-Physical Treatment,
3. Aerobic Biological Treatment, 4. Aerobic Biological Treatment followed by
Chemical-Physical Treatment, 5- Activated Carbon Treatment.
Second, bench scale testing will be performed to evaluate chemical dosage and
other plant operating procedures, such as sludge return and air rates. The bench
scale tests will be performed both on a research scale plant (20 gallons/day) and
a batch process. Different organic loadings as well as chemical dosages will be
examined. These bench scale tests will be included in the daily work load of the
chemist-operator. This will enable potentially desirable process modifications to
be studied on a full-scale plant with minimum upset to the plant.
During these bench scale tests, as well as full-scale plant operation, com-
plete documentation of test procedures, chemical dosage, retention time, and result
will be generated. Complete documentation will also be provided on daily operatior
and plant modifications including startup, operation, maintenance, problems, problen
resolution, costs and performance.

This Research Grant involves the study of the technical and economic aspects of
preparing and using densified forms of municipal solid waste as a supplementary
fuel in industrial and institutional stoker coal fired boilers. Investigations
will be conducted to establish methodology for preparing densified refuse derived
fuel (d-RDF). Process and product characterizations will be developed to enable
establishment of specifications for d-RDF. Densification forms will include
pellets, briquettes, and cubettes. Independent boiler burn tests and operations
will be conducted in conjunction with this research to fully characterize the
concept.

AS TESTING BULK DRINKING WATER IN THE METROPOLITAN ATLANTA AREA, ONE
FEATURE OF OUR RESULTS DICTATES THE NEED FOR ANOTHER TEST SYSTEM FOR CHE

The overall objectives of this research project are to (1) standardize a
mutagen screening system (Ames Back Mutation Test) which is sensitive and has
a high degree of reproducibility, (2) utilize this system to identify the
mutagenic character of chemical contaminants in water and (3) develop a forward
Tcutagenesis screening system to be used in conjunction with the back mutagenesis
system. Specifically, we are currently testing known chemicals present in New
Orleans drinking water supplies, as well as testing bulk drinking water in the
metropolitan Atlanta area. One feature of our results dictates the need for
another test sytem for chemicals that prove too toxic for testing in the Ames
system. Therefore, some chemicals are being evaluated bv their ability to
produce single stranded breaks in DNA.

Work involves a $1.6 million restoration project for eutrophic
Lake Lansing, used by 500,000 people. Major objectives include:
testing and monitoring effective innovative dredging methods
including new cutter heads, hydraulic head loss and consolidation
rates for marl',' peat, etc. Methods of reducing return to lake
of silt and nutrients. Prepare cost curves on dredging process
including size, depth, lake location, spoil areas, etc. and do
likewise for a rational assessment formula to aid future engineers
and contractors. These are to determine economics of storing dry
peat and marl for agricultural resale. Demonstrate sandy beaches
construction and also document the relationship of dredging to
improvement of water quality.
The approach entails superimposing an evaluation program into an
innovative dredging program for Lake Lansing. As dredging proceeds,
appropriate physical and chemical monitoring would be made using
in-house laboratory and soils equipment. Principal investigator
will prepare plans and specifications, take bids and then give
detailed resident project supervision concurrent and in part
with the same personnel, evaluating the project. The project
would take 6 months for final plans, 18 months for construction
plus 6 months for evaluation report.

This project is designed to develop the necessary modifications and changes in inter-
pretations of western water laws that will facilitate the implementation of improved
water management technologies thereby reducing and controlling salinity and other
forms of water pollution resulting from the exercise of irrigation water rights. To
accomplish this goal, four major objectives will be satisfied:
1) Describe and define the legal aspects of water quality control programs rele-
vant to irrigated agriculture for the seventeen western states to include: (a)
statutes; (b) regulations; and (c) implementing machinery.
2) Describe the degree of interface of the law between: (a) water quantity allo-
cation and management; and (b) water quality control.
3) Relate the characteristics of the physical irrigation system (which consists
of three subsystems - water delivery, farm and water removal) and appropriate
technological solutions for achieving irrigation return flow quality control to
the legal system (which consists of both legal parameters - water quantity and
water quality) for each of the seventeen western states.
4) Prepare modifications or enactments for either or both parameters of the
legal system in order to achieve irrigation return flow quality control.
The analytical approach, after collection and assimilating material on western states
water quality laws and programs (the material on state water quantity laws is already
available), is first to describe in general the legal system (both water quantity,
and water quality) in each state, and second, to structure the legal system of each
.state .a.t the three sublevftls of an. irrigation

The Santa Clara Valley Water District is constructing a facility for
advanced waste treatment and injection of two million gallons per day of
municipal wastewater into an aquifer in the Palo Alto Bayfront area to
serve as a barrier against seawater intrusion into the groundwater. As
a long-term goal, this facility will be used for research to determine
the feasibility of such a system for reclaiming water for potable uses.
The major objectives of the research are as follows:
1. To determine the effects the injected wastewater will have on the
chemical, physical, and biological quality of the basin and injected
waters.
2. To determine the effect injected wastewater will have on the hydro-
logic and mineralogic characteristics of the aquifer.
3. To seek the optimum quality for injected water which will result
in a high-quality basin water and minimum damage to the hydrologic
characteristics of the aquifer.
4. To develop generalized mathematical models for describing the
movement of water, the changes in hydrologic characteristics, and
resulting changes in water quality from wastewater injection in
order to make the results of most value for application in other similar

Semi-empirical characteristic time correlations for pollutant
emissions developed for simplified aircraft gas turbine combustors
will be compared with exhaust emissions data for existing aircraft
engines to test their applicability for the latter. The previous
work indicates that an optimum geometry for minimum emissions can
be defined for given combustor operating conditions and that the
optimum simplified turbine combustor cannot meet 1979 Class T2
EPA emissions standards. If the correlations can be extended to
more representative aircraft combustors, then it should prove
possible to determine if the optimum combustor can satisfy the
appropriate EPA aircraft standards; the work should thus prove
helpful in exploring the stringency of the standards.

(1) The objectives of this project are to demonstrate a new protein
precipitation and by-product recovery process which will establish the
feasibility of the meat industry meeting the ammonia limits in National
effluent guidelines and to demonstrate the advantages of the process
prior to discharging to a municipal treatment system.
(2) The approach is to operate and closely monitor a full-scale treat-
ment plant which will be constructed and owned by Sterling Colorado Beef
Company. The operation is to optimize removal of nitrogen and other
pollutants and document their use and marketability in by-products.
(3) The Company has selected and ordered several major pieces of equip-
ment made in Europe. Minor pieces of equipment and the solid handling
equipment remain to be selected. Installation of the equipment and
shakedown operations are to be completed prior to beginning the monitoring.

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE 3F THE THREE V£AR STUDY IS TO DEVISE A NEW, MORE E
FFECTIVE AND POLLUTION-FREE METHOD OF PRESERVATION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER
SAMPLES. APPROACHES SUCH AS THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND BACTERIOLYTIC EN
ZYMES FOR CONTROLLING MICRO-ORGANISMS MAY OFFER A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY AND
AN IMPROVEMENT OVER EXISTING PROCEDURES. THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PROJECT
WAS DEVOTED TO EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SEVERAL ANTIB
IGTICS/ANTIBIOTICS MIXTURES AND BACTERIOLYTIC ENZYMES IN CONTROLLING MICRO
ORGANISMS IN WATER AND WASTEWATER SAMPLES A3 REVEALED BY VIABLE CELL COUNT
AND OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATES. AFTER TESTING A LARGE NUMBER OF A
NTIBIOTIC8 SINGLY AND IN MIXTURE OF 2-4, 5-7 ANTIBIOTIC MIXTURES HAVE BEEN
SELECTED BASED ON THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN CONTROLLING MICROORGANISM
S IN WASTEWATER AND NATURAL WATER SAMPLES. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE LYSOZYME
PREPARATIONS FAILED TO CONTROL MICROORGANISMS WHEN ADDED WITH
OR WITHOUT EDTA AND TRIS, ANALYSIS OF NUTRIENTS IN THE PRESENCE OF
ANTIBIOTICS HAS REVEALED THAT THE COMBINATIONS WHICH INCLUDE ERYTHR
QMYCIN OR AMPICILLIN CAUSE INTERFERENCE IN SOME ANALYTICAL DETERMINATIONS.
THE SECOND YEAR OF THE PROJECT WILL BE DEVOTED TO DETERMINATION OF THE
RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRESERVATIVES SELECTED FOR FURTHER STUDY, IN
PREVENTING ALTERATION IN SAMPLE TEST PARAMETERS. THE EFFECT OF WATER PARAM
ETERS SUCH AS PH, PARTICULATE MATTER, INDUSTRIAL CONTAMINANT, ETC., ON THE

Three major objectives established for this project were: 1) To teach health
personnel, particularly those concerned with health of migrant, agricultural, and
pesticide chemical workers and their families how to recognize, diagnose, treat and
prevent pesticide illness and poisoning; 2) to develop a system to more accurately
validate, verify and document the incidence of pesticide toxicology by introducing
and making available the use of an acholest screening test; 3) to teach an additional
core of individuals in "Train-the-trainer'1 programs how to use the newly developed
training kit so that they, in turn, can teach others about pesticide illness.
A training program, including the text, was prepared and taught in 17 locations
in the United States; additionally, 5 "Train-the-trainer" sessions were held to teach
others to use the ten-module of slide-tape training kits which was developed. The use
of an acholest screening test was demonstrated and kits were distributed to migrant
and rural health clinics.
Evaluation summaries document that the programs were well received. Additional
sessions are planned for areas not yet covered and where repeat performances are
requested. Continued follow-up on the use of the acholest kit is planned.

A literature review was conducted to provide a basis for analyzing
the results of previous tests on surface treatment agents, comparing
agent effectiveness, and recommending agents for the preliminary field
tests. Preliminary field tests of agent effectiveness, toxicity, and
application techniques were undertaken on salt-marsh sections and simu-
lated beaches. The surface treatment agents tested were film-forming
agents (polyvinyl acetate, xanthan gum, citrus pectin, sodium silicate,
and borate-silicate mixture), surfactant/dispersing agents (BP 1100-X,
EP 1100-WD, and Exxon Corexit 7664), and a surfactant/collecting agent
(Shell Oil Herder). From the results of the preliminary field tests,
two film-forming agents, polyvinyl acetate and xanthan gum, and the
surfactant/collecting agent, Shell Oil Herder, were recommended for and
tested during the full-scale field tests at Sewaren Beach, New Jersey.
In addition, a flowing film of water was tested for effectiveness as a
surface treatment agent.

(1) Objectives are to (a) develop a "framework" for the systematic analysis in the
sodoeconomic context of policies to control hazardous wastes, (b) to make a
generalized analysis of the majority of existing and potential policies for hazard
ous waste control, and to array these policies so that the different impacts and
trade-offs between alternative policies are demonstrated.
(2) Approach will be to identify the "parties-at-interest" and the nature of the
impacts to which they are subjected, together with their possible responses.
This will lead to generalized policy analysis using benefit/cost analysis tech-
niques for quantifiable elements. Impacts of each policy-waste combination will
be compared. The approach will be demonstrated by the use of one or two case
s in which the analysis is pursuea in greater detail.

.Introduction: Previous studies of the effects of a jet fuel and #2
'fuel oil spill into a major soft shell clam, Mya, arenaria, growing
area at Long Cove,' Searsport, Maine, reported an association between
the spilled oil and cancerous tumors in many of the clams. The oil
spill occurred in March 1971 and tumors have been found each year
since then.
Objectives: The purpose of the proposed study is to determine whether
or not there is a causal relationship between the spilled oil and the
continuing development of tumors in the surviving clam population.
Approach: Combined studies involving the transplanting of soft shell
clams of comparable size and age from a clean area to holding tanks
in the Department of Marine Resources laboratory in Boothbay Harbor,
Maine. Each tank will have an individual flow-through water system
and the clams themselves will be placed in sediments from Ix>ng Cove
at two different levels of residual petroleum hydrocarbon concentra-
tions: 90-125 ppm and 230-300 ppm. Sediments from the clean control
area will be transferred to the laboratory and laced with a known
amount of the same oil fractions involved in the 1971 spill. Clams
from the control area will be planted in these artificially contam-
inated sediments. Samples of sediments and of clams before and after
exposure to the oiled sediments will be analyzed at the Chemistry
Department of Bowdoin College. Clams exposed to clean sediments as
well as to the various oil sediments will be examined in triplicate
for tumors or other abnormalities: by the Histopathology Section of
the EPA Laboratory, Narragansett, Rhode Island; the Smithsonian
Institution; and the National Marine Fisheries Service Laboratory,
Oxford, Maryland. Carbon flux studies will be conducted by the
Bigelow Laboratory at Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Ocean-outfall disposal of domestic wastes raises pertinent questions concerning
prior treatment and preferred outfall location due to a paucity of factual informa-
tion and data. To resolve these questions, the research in this project is subsumed
under three objectives which are to: (1) characterize the plume mixing zone as it
relates to the kinds and subsequent dilution of sewage derived solutes, (2) test
methods for the sampling and enumeration of viral pathogens and determine the most
appropriate treatment procedure, and (3) evaluate outfall-induced (via particulates
and pathogens) responses of sessile invertebrates and other important marine animals.
Three outfalls in Bade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are designated for compara-
tive sampling; data and samples evaluated by EPA, Corvallis. The project emphasizes
laboratory work to evaluate the acute effects of sewage on marine animals and in-
volves cooperation with other ongoing research relating to outfalls as well as
Interaction with user groups. An array of 50-200 gallon experimental tanks with
metered inputs of sewage and seawater will be utilized for the experimental work on
fish and certain invertebrates. State-of-the-art scientific methods and quality-
assurance techniques used during the two-year study ensure that objectives are met
on schedule and that all results are scientifically supported. The results will be
of use in evaluating the performance standards of ocean outfalls as a disposal method.

This set of studies represents a portion of a multi-institutional policy-
oriented technology assessment of the socioeconomic and environmental
impacts which might result from a proposed increased concentration of
energy conversion facilities within the Ohio River Basin.
Utilizing the best available data bases, these studies will attempt to
address the broad-scale environmental, institutional, economic and social
effects of various future combinations of energy conversion facilities
(e.g., coal-based plants producing synthetic fuels, as well as nuclear
and coal-fired electric power generating plants) and their required
support facilities (i.e., coal mining, processing and transportation;
ash and sludge disposal facilities; nuclear fuel and reactor waste
transportation facilites; and energy transportation systems, including
electrical power transmission systems) that might be built and operated
in this region in the future.
The principal objectives of this assessment are (1) to assist in out-
lining the full range of policy options for dealing with selected kinds
of development, alternative levels of development and their possible
undersirable effects, and alternative technological levels of environ-
mental controls; and (2) to analyze the probable impacts that would
result from implementing each option in its total framework, with special
emphasis on the natural environment and its interrelationship with public
health and welfare. The full range of primary, secondary, and higher
order effects will be considered.

Many local areas in the United States are faced with the problem of cost effective
management of numerous small wastewater treatment plants. The Cypress Creek basin,
near Houston, in North Harris County, Texas is an example of one of these areas. The
objective of this project is to explore the optimum management system consistent with
economic and effluent quality requirements through (1) a restructuring of current
'management and operations, (2] installation of moderate capital intensive modifications
(minimum telemetry with inspection), (3) installation of maximum capital intensive
modifications (maximum telemetry with minimum inspection), or a combination thereof.
The approach to the problem will consist of a detailed analysis of existing data regard!:
(1) mechanical factors, causes of failures, frequency of failures, etc., (2) personnel
factors, operation functions, skills, training, etc., (3) location factors, distances
from central operations, special configurations, etc., (4) process factors, configuration
plant condition, effluent quality and quantity, etc., and (5) a cost analysis. Signifi-
cant factors and relationships will determine system design. Implementation of the
design will provide data for optimization.

An aeration project is proposed in the lower portion of the approximately
seven mile long 20 billion gallon Loch Raven Reservoir, a key element in the
metropolitan Baltimore area water supply system.
Primary objectives are reservoir destratification by aeration, improvement of
dissolved oxygen concentrations at lower depths during summer months with
concommittant reduction in manganese levels, and a decrease in the number of
blue-green algae and also possibly in the total algal count. If these objectives
are met, major improvements will occur in raw water quality including elimination
of taste and odor problems associated with blue-green algal blooms and reduction
in chlorine necessary to mitigate the manganese problem in the fall.
The proposed system involves the feed of compressed air into perforated tubing
on the reservoir bottom within a 0.6 mile distance above the dam. Resultant rising
air bubbles will achieve destratification. Criteria to be met in the aerated zone
are a uniform temperature depth profile (+ 3°C) and a 2.0 mg/1 minimum dissolved
oxygen concentration at the reservoir bottom.

Restorative measures involves watershed modifications and purchase
of easements. The project specifically includes construction of
flood control dams, sediment retention structures and diversion;
seeding gulley shaping; and roadside erosion control (SCS).

This application is for a Federal matching grant to assist North
Marin County Water District to restore Stafford Lake'' a 4400
acre foot municipal water supply reservoir constructed in 1950
to serve 45,000 people and also providing fishing and shoreline
recreation benefits (golf course, park and picnic areas). Over
the years the lake has been the receptical of nutrient laden
silt which has accelerated the lake cycle to a eutrophic state.
The nutrients stem chiefly from dairy wastes which are in the
process of being controlled but the shallow areas created over
the years and enriched bottom sediments requires removal to
restore lake health. Yet an additional source of pollution is
runoff from urban development encroaching on the east perimeter.
One key buffer (land) purchase could stem this encroachment.
Currently, part of the desired buffer land is also subjected to
gross overgrazing which is resulting in rapid erosion which must
be halted by erosion control work. , . ,

The purpose of this project is to assess the environmental impact of
wastewater contaminants originating from the production of synthetic fuels
from coal, and to evaluate alternative wastewater treatment technologies
for the control of these contaminants. The project is carried out in
several phases over a 5-year period consisting of (a) a literature review
and survey of pilot- and full-scale coal conversion facilities to identify
specific contaminants which might be found in coal processing wastewaters,
(b) a study of the biodegradability of selected organic constituents from
such wastewaters including an assessment of the aquatic impact of these
constituents and biodegradation products, (c) biological and physical-
chemical treatability studies of selected organic constituents and
identification of the residuals following treatment, (d) animal toxicology
studies to evaluate the potential health effects of those wastewater
components for which sufficient information is not available in the
literature, (e) treatability studies of composite synthetic and real coal-
processing waters including analytical characterization and aquatic impact
assessment of the treated waters, and (f) development of design criteria
for continuous treatment of wastewaters from coal-conversion facilities.

A full cost/benefit analysis of the nuclear fuel reprocessing industry
is proposed. The analysis will compare, over time, the costs of re-
processing and associated charges versus the value of the recovered
materials, uranium and plutonium. The effects of yellowcake avail-
ability, properties of plutonium recycle fuels, safeguard and environ-
mental costs on the value of the recovered products will also be included
in the analysis.
The study will predict the timing for entry of a commercial nuclear fuel
reprocessing industry.

This is a study of the performance of electrostatic precipitators
for the control of particulate emissions from nonferrous metallurgical
smelters, roasters, and furnaces in zinc, lead, copper, and aluminum
plants.
The study includes the characterization of airborne emissions from
these operations and the preparation of a manual that can be used as a
guide for the selection and improvement of control equipment.
Detailed data are to be obtained from operating installations on
mass loadings, particle size distribution, and trace metal and gas
concentrations. These data are to be: combined with laboratory measure-
ments, of .electrical resistivity of collected particulate matter and wit
operating data on the electrostatic precipitator control equipment. Th
information will be used in the analysis of precipitator performance by
means of a computer model.
The project also includes the development of improved methods for
sampling and analysis of effluent gases from metallurgical operations,
especially methods of eliminating interferences from chemical reactions
during sampling.

The long-term goal of this program is the development of a chemical model system
for the synthesis of potent yet environmentally safe pesticides. As our initial test
agents we will use halogenated hydrocarbons belonging to the aldrin and diedrin family
Our studies are designed to: a) differentiate between the carcinogenic vs insecticida;
chemical features of these compounds; b) determine the mode of action by which these
agents act as chemical carcinogens; c) design a predictive model system for the
synthesis of active pesticides wherein the active carcinogenic and mutagenic
functional sites of the molecule have been eliminated without sacrificing insecticidal
action; d) design new analogs of aldrin and dieldrin which have been chemically
modified to make them ecologically less persistent. The immediate goals of this
proposal include: a) the synthesis of a series of rationally designed structural
analogs of aldrin and dieldrin and its chemically related species; b) the in vitro
biological evaluation of the cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials of
these compounds alone and in combination with oncogenic viruses; c) evaluation of
the pestlcidal effectiveness of the parent compounds and their rationally designed
analogs and d) a determination of the mechanism by which radiolabeled pesticides
interact with cellular DNA, RNA and protein.
Test compounds with preliminary in vivo activity in our insect test systems,
will be analyzed for their ability to a) induce DNA damage, b) inhibit DNA repair
processes. Utilizing l^C-labeled compounds of high specific activity we will
compare the deoxynucleoside-pesticide (DN-P) profile of these compounds and their
differential rate of removal in order to specifically determine the (DN-P) product(s)
responsible for any carcinogenic or mutagenic properties of these agents.

SPACING PROGRAM BE DEVELOPED THAT DEFINES THE POTENTIALLY TOXIC SP
OIL MATERIALS IN ADVANCE OF SURFACE MINING, ONE OF THE PRODUCTS OF CURRENT
RESEARCH IS A COLOR PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOK ILLUSTRATING 26 OF THE STANDARD
ROCK TYPES FOUND IN THE COAL MEASURES OF EASTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN
WEST VIRGINIA. BY ASSOCIATING THESE ROCK TYPES WITH THEIR 6EOCHEMICAL AND
WEATHERING CHARACTERISTICS, THE TOXICITY POTENTIAL OF EACH LITHOLOGY WAS
APPRAISED, AND POTENTIAL PROBLEM ROCK TYPES WERE ISOLATED, USING THESE
RESULTS AS A BASE, IT IS PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE SHAPE, THICKNESS, AND
LATERAL EXTENT OF THE POTENTIALLY TOXIC ROCK TYPES WITH THE VIEW THAT, IF
DIMENSIONS OF SOME OF THESE ROCK BODIES ARE KNOWN, CORE HOLE SPACING
REQUIRED TO DELINEATE THE DIMENSIONS OF OTHER SIMILAR BODIES CAN BE

The fundamental objective of the burn tests is to develop data that
may be translated into design criteria for the fabrication of equip-
ment to be used for the incineration of kepone and kepone contaminated
waste. The activities required to fulfill the objective are indicated
below:
.determine the time/temperature relationship of the incineration
process in order to destroy kepone and its hazardous by-products.
.develop the thermal requirements for complete decontamination of
waste products containing kepone
.to substantiate the findings by D.S. Duvall and T,V.A. Rubey in
their technical report entitled "Laboratory Evaluation of High
Temperature Destruction of Kepone and Related Pesticides."
This work was done under flameless conditions.
Technical grade kepone in concentrated form will be transported to
Toledo, Ohio, to be burned in the research facilities of Surface
Division, Midland-Ross Corp. This equipment includes a high
temperature afterburner capable of reaching temperatures in access
of 2600 degrees F and a rotary kiln continuous feed or batch feed
unit. Analysis will be made of off-gases, scrubber liquor, air
samples taken within the test facility and outside of the building,
wash water and any other materials subject to contamination. The
initial runs are designed so that if no conbustion takes place, the
emission of stack temperature will not exceed 1 x 10~6 gms/m3 which
will result in an ambient air concentration of less than 2.5 x 10
gms/m3.

CONTRIBUTION OF PARVOVIRUS-LIKE AGENTS TO ENVIRONMENTALLY TRANSMITTED
ENTERITIS. WE PLAN A TWO-FOLD APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM, ONE is TO DESIGN,
DEVELOP AND TEST A SENSITIVE ASSAY METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF THFS
E AGENTS IN STOOL AND WATER SPECIMENS WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF PROPAGATING
THE VIRUSES, THE SECOND APPROACH IS TO CULTIVATE THE VIRUSES IN

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the ability of young
goats to dispose of combinations of non-toxic doses of selected toxic
elements. The elemental compounds to be studied will be enclosed in
gelatinous capsules and administered daily via gastric intubation with
the aid of a balling gun. Control goats will be given the capsule con-
taining only the "filler" or diluent, if any are used in preparing the
elemental preparations. At the end of the first four weeks of flushing
the treated and control goats will be sheared and the hair collected for
analysis. Approximately 200 days after the initial treatment with the
toxic elements all animals will be sacrificed, tissues(whole blood, kid-
neys, brain, liver, hoofs, teeth, hair, skeletal muscle and bones) will
be collected. All tissues will be processed for storage and samples
analyzed for the appropriate elements. The remainder of the tissues will
be shipped to EMSL-LV to be used as reference materials in subsequent
studies.

Permeabilities, diffusivities and solubilities of major hydro-
carbon pollutants and of oxygen in a variety of polymeric materials
will be measured as functions of temperature, pressure, and pollutant
concentration. The results of these measurements will be used to
design interfaces for source monitoring of hydrocarbons, but
their utility should extend well beyond this particular application.
Potential applications include the design of hydrocarbon permeation
tubes for calibrating ambient hydrocarbon analyzers, and the
evaluation of plastic bag materials for storing grab samples to
be analyzed for hydrocarbon concentrations.
Marbranes will be sought which are either selectively permeable
or impermeable to oxygen, with the object of reducing or eli-
minating the oxygen effect in flame ionization detection.
A portable interface-analyzer system for continuous unattended
monitoring of hydrocarbon emissions will be designed, assembled,
and field tested in a variety of source enviornments.

The development and application of identification and detection
technology is proposed for evaluating the genetics of baculoviruses
pesticides for recombination and mutation. This is being accomplished
by use of restriction endonuclease fragment analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis and radioimmunoassay. With such techniques the
ability to identify and monitor for baculovirus-host interaction and
potential to undergo genetic change can be accomplished.

The project is designed to organize and direct an International Conference
on the Effects of Pollutants on High Risk Groups during the spring of 1978
at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Recognized authorities in the
various areas will be invited to present their latest research concerning
the identification and quantification of individuals at high risk to the
toxic and/or carcinogenic effects of environmental/occupational pollutants.
The following four specific objectives will be addressed:
1. The biological factors which predispose individuals to the toxic
and/or carcinogenic effects of pollutants.
2. The role of high risk groups in both environmental and occupational
standard setting.
3. The efficacy of screening tests.
4. Practical applications in environmental/occupational health
policy.

(1) Objectives; (a) to remove aquatic plants from Lake Bomoseen thereby making
the lake more attractive for water related recreation activity, and (b) to
permanently remove excessive amounts of nutrients thereby significantly reducing
the growth of aquatic plants in the future and improving both the chemical and
aesthetic properties of the lake water.
(2) Approach: The Town of Castleton has purchased a weed harvesting machine
which will be used to harvest aquatic plant growth during mid and late summer
months. This application is for partial financial assistance for operating
the machine for the first 3 years of the planned 5 year program.
(3) Plans/Progress: During the summer of 1975 the Town contracted with a private
firm to harvest aquatic plant growth. The program was a great success and the
lake property owners and the Vt. Dept. of Water Resources encouraged the Town
to undertake a 5 year program to reduce nutrient loading. With the assistance of
the Vt. Dept. of Water Resources which will conduct water quality studies/
monitoring, the Town plans on conducting two cuttings of the entire lake for a five
year period.

The major objective of this research is to study the effects of
prenatal exposure to one or more pesticides, herbicides and/or
fungicides on the cardiovascular physiology of rats. Specifically,
(1) rate of heartbeat; (2) electrocardiogram; (3) blood pressure;
and (4) blood chemistry (hematocrit, Na, K, glucose, osmotic
pressure and other items as indicated) will be studied in rat
embryos, fetuses and newborns. Testing will begin shortly after
maternal exposure to test for immediate effects and at later
intervals to test for prolonged effects. The proposed program
would provide more subtle and sensitive indicators of develop-
mental toxicity than most of the standard teratological tests
now generally used. Another objective of this research is to
obtain some basic information on possible mechanisms of the
physiological action of pesticides on fetuses.
The agents used initially will be those which have been shown
to have some teratogenic potential in mammals. Particular emphasis
will be given to Maneb, Mirex, 2,4,-D, Dioxin and Kepone which
have also been reported to induce edematous changes in fetuses, an
obvious sign of fluid imbalance.

To better appreciate the ultrastructural alterations that
occurred in 71 beagle dogs chronically exposed to air pollutants,
transmission electron microscopic morphometry will be used.
Ultrastructural quantitation has proven invaluable in delineating
the pathogenetic mechansims of gasious-induced pulmonary lesions.
Specifically alterations in the thickness of components of the
blood-air barrier and in the epithelial cells of the lungs have
been statistically appriciated.
It is proposed that both large block plastic sections and
ultrathin sections be randomly selected, photographed at 200X
and 2500X, respectively, on 35mm film. After transfer of the
image to positive 35mm film, the images will be projected on a
ground glass screen with interchangeable counting grids. The
volumetric density of alveoli, alveolar ducts, and respiratory
bronchioles, as well as alveoli located in alveolar ducts or
respiratory bronchioles will be calculated. The volumetric density
of interstitial tissue (collagen and elastic fibers, fibroblasts,
and smooth muscle), type I and type II epithelial cells, epithelial
cells, endothelial cells, macrophages, and other migratory cells
will be calculated. The numerical and surface densities of alveoli
and capillaries will be calculated. The arithmetic mean thickness
of the blood-air barrier and all of its components (epithelium,
interstitium, and endothelium) will be calculated. The arithmetic
mean thickness of vessel and bronchiolar walls will be measured.
All of these measurements will use Weibel's methods.
All of the results for each exposure group will be compared
to every other group by analysis of variance. Linear regression
will be used to examine possible correlations between pulmonary
function data reported on these dogs and the morphometric
measurements. All significant correlations within a group will be
compared to all other groups by analysis of covariance.

1. Take information gained from alfalfa insect research and apply it at the farm operat-
ional level.
There has been some 15 years of data relating to pest management of alfalfa insects
accumulated in Utah. These data include the effects of biological control agents
cultural practices, and pesticides.
2. Demonstrate to the alfalfa growers the. wisdom of basing control decisions on conditioi
in individual fields.
This will include reports to the growers based on pest population samples. It will
also include cost benefit analyses comparing fields following pest managmcnt practice1
compared to those not following such a program.
3. A side benefit, but not a true objective, is to train a nucleus of pest management
scouts.
Some major approaches will be:
a. Routine monitoring of pest populations.
b. Reporting pest conditions to growers.
c. Analyzing alfalfa yields and quality.
d. Analyzing costs and returns to growers.
e. Correlating insect development with weather data.
f. Using the alfalfa and alfalfa weevil models, developed through other projects.

Objective - To prepare plant tissue material containing toxic elements
via in vivo incorporation. The material will be grown in hydroponics
solution containing the toxic elements, harvested, dried, ground, blended,
homogenized, and analyzed for use as both reference materials and in up-
coming cross-check programs. Attempts will be made to collect and process
water hyacinth leaves from sewage ponds containing elevated levels of
pollutants and from uncontaminated ponds.
Approach - Water hyacinths will be grown in large ponds or tanks. Combi-
nations of various toxic element compounds will be added to the hydroponics
solution, as required, to maintain certain minimum concentrations of the
toxic elements in the hydroponics solutions. Aerial water hyacinth leaves
are harvested periodically and dried. After removal of the stalks, the
leaves are ground and the last water trace removed by freeze-drying.
After blending and sieving, if required, the dry powder is analyzed for
the toxic elements and shipped to EMSL-LV or a location determined by
EMSL-LV. A batch of uncontaminated material of similar size will be pre-
pared similarly, except for the incorporation of the toxic elements.
Personnel (2-3 people) from the analytical branch of the contractor
institution will come to EMSL-LV to conduct analyses of the produced
materials jointly with EMSL personnel. An effort will be made to collect
aerial leaves of water hyacinths growing in contaminated ponds of two
different sewage plants. The leaves will be processed as described above
and shipped to EMSL-LV. Similarly, aerial leaves of water hyacinths will
be collected from uncontaminated ponds and processed as described above
to a dry powder which will be shipped to EMSL-LV.

The chemical reactions which form and degrade iron-cyanides are being
investigated under controlled conditions,to determine reaction rates and
mechanisms. This will provide basic data for evolution of cyanide control
strategies, either by inhibition of complex-forming reactions or by des-
truction of the complexes, once formed. Experiments will be carried out
with actual coking and blast furnace wastewaters to verify reaction mechanisms
and evaluate control strategies. Chemical analyses for free and complex
cyanides will be modified to eliminate interferences in the wastewater studies.
The stability of solid iron-cyanide complexes (i.e.,slow degradation)
in a landfill environment will be investigated. New treatment processes will
result in large quantities of solid ferrocyanides requiring final disposal.
The stability of these materials under a reducing and acidic environment
needs to be demonstrated.

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (.NCKiv seeKs to
collect analyze, develop and disseminate information and recommendations on radiation
protection and measurements and to foster cooperation among organizations concerned
with radiation protection and measurements. After identification of an area in which
NCRP recommendations would be useful, the Council initiates research aimed at:
1. Assessment of the available information which is pertinent to the problem.
2. Identification of areas where more information is needed.
3. Synthesis of present knowledge relevant to the problem area into practical
recommendations on radiation protection and measurement which also highlight
areas in need of further study.
This project is concerned with the following topics (1) quantities, units,
measurement techniques, biological effects and exposure criteria for radiofrequency
electromagnetic radiation,(2) radiation hazards resulting from the release of radio-
nuclides into the environment(with particular attention directed to examination of the
problems associated with the release of iodine-129,(3) bioassay for the assessment of
control of intake of radionuclides and(A) radon sources and dosimetry.
Initial work on NCRP Studies are carried out by scientific committees. If
preliminary study by a scientific committee justifies it, work is begun on the fonaulati
of draft recommendations. This involves a detailed examination of pertinent information
already available, identification of areas in which information is meager or unavailable
and an assessment of the scientific thinking on the problem at hand. The final result
of the scientific committee's work is usually a draft of a proposed NCRP report. This
draft is submitted to the members of the Council for review, modified on the basis of
Council Member's comments and finally, after membership approval, published.

The mortality from primary tumors of the skin in the U.S., Canadian,
and British populations under the age of 65 has been steadily increasing
lor many years. This is the result of the increasing incidence of
malignant melanoma. The situation is complicated by inadvertant
modification of the upper atmosphere by human activities (high flying
aircraft, flourocarbons, etc.) which are expected to lead to an
increase in the flux of ultra-violet light at ground level. Regula-
tions to control this modification have thus to be made against a
background of long term and progressive changes. It.is our purpose
to examine the existing U.S. data/ published and unpublished, and
disentangle the components of the rising rates-generation differences,
changes in the rate constant, and inter-cohort differences consequent on
these factors. When this is done, we can make projections from defined
models against which the course of events can be compared.

The principal objective of this project is to estimate the increase
of skin cancer that will result from increasing ultraviolet radiation
by depleting stratospheric ozone. With the cooperation of the National
Center of Health Statistics, we propose to use three new sources of
data:
1) cases of skin cancer (largely nonmelanoma) and of keratosis
observed by dermatologists in the special Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (HANES) in 65 different localities in the United
States.
2) cases of skin cancer, separately melanoma and nonmelanoma by site,
observed in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey by a sample
of physicians in different localities in the United States.
3) cases of skin cancer, separately melanoma and non melanoma

This is a proposal by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research
to conduct economic-social-institutional research for EPA under
the BACER Program in order to assist the United States to:
a) estimate economic and social consequences of ozone depletion
b) evaluate the benefits and costs of alternative policies for
the control of potential anthropogenic reduction of the
ozone with special attention to fluorocarbon emissions
from the manufacture and use of aerosol sprays, and
c) provide support for the preparation by EPA of reports
concerning economic aspects of atmospheric management, and
d) identify gaps and deficiencies, which if corrected would
improve the basis for management decisions affecting
climate and health.
Phase I will consist of an intensive study of the state-of-the-art
to provide the best available information for analysis of alternative
policies for limiting damage to the ozone layer and Phase II will
identify remedies to reduce uncertainty in decision making.
The research tasks will include assessing available research, updating
previous benefit-cost analysis of controlling changes in ozone, con-
paring the impacts of alternative regulatory instruments, providing
an analysis of economic concepts involved, examining intergenerational
issues, exploring international implications, evaluating equity and
distributional effects and reducing gaps in information needed for
decision making.

The objectives of this proposal are to develop and apply a method for
assessment of effects of prenatal exposure to pesticides, utilizing post-
natal examination of variations in skeletal development in the mouse. Changes
in frequency of occurrence or severity of more than 80 normally occurring
variants will be examined at 60 days postnatal in alizarin-stained skeletons,
both in the articulated and disarticulated state, following exposure in utero
to the pesticide under investigation. Preliminary studies with the herbicides
Trifluralin and 2,4,5-T have been completed and allow detection of exposure
to either of these substance based on parameters of number of traits affected
magnitude of response and specifity of response. Studies with Captan and
Thalidomide did not result in an ability to detect prenatal exposure.

Partial support is requested for the Satellite A of the Statistical Ecology Program of
the Second International Ecological Congress. An international group of scientists
from various disciplines relating to ecological abundance, diversity, and biomonitoring
and assessment of environment will convene for research discussion and collaboration
on the quantification and application of ecological concepts.
Modeling has had a strong influence on the development of ecological concepts;
statistics has played a major role in ecological applications and management. This
program will bring together these parallel lines of development, with the aim of better
identificatinn of, and solution of, quantifiable problems in ecology.
Emphasis in the Satellite A portion will be on abundance and diversity: how can
mathematical and statistical methods be used to improve the measurement of abundances
and diversities, hence improve the empirical foundations of the concepts surrounding
these notions? Conversely, how can the concepts better guide the choice and utilizatior
of mathematical formalism to meet the needs of contemporary environmental problems?
One hundred research participants are expected.

The research work conducted under this project will be dedicated to the develop-
ment of a reliable, convenient and universally applicable method for the determina-
tion of total carbon in atmospheric particulate samples. It is also expected that a
qualitative description of the majority of organic species present in atmospheric
particulate matter be achieved. This will provide, most immediately, a sound basis
for the development of the total carbon method. It will also provide essential in-
formation needed to develop other analytical methods as well as in the fundamental
understanding of atmospheric chemistry. The work described and the results expected
will provide a direct and significant benefit to the development of more effective
atmospheric pollution control strategies.
It is planned to attack the proposed research in the following fashion: (1)
investigate the use of selective solvent extraction coupled with high performance
liquid chromatography and total carbon measurement instrumentation in separating the
organic carbon compound fractions of atmospheric samples into classes and subse-
quently into individual species, and (2) develop and evaluate sensitive instrumental
methods of organic carbon measurements for bulk and size separated samples collected
on glass and teflon substrates. These techniques will include oxidation by combus-
tion, atomic oxygen and wet chemical procedures (using both extracted and unex-
tracted samples) with subsequent COp detection.

This research effort is to help evaluate the human health risk of
prolonged exposures to mineral fibers. The project will employ
four different research methodologies to obtain information on the
carcinogenicity of mineral fibers as found in the Duluth, Minnesota
water supply prior to mineral fiber removal.
Two major classes of investigation will be undertaken:
1. A retrospective epidemiological evaluation of the incidence of
cancers from all sites occurring within the target population.
a. comparative analysis of age and sex
b. a case-by-case review of all cancers found within the
population and evaluation of cancers by site relative
to morbidity rates from the Third Naitonal Cancer
Survey and the SEEK program of the N.C.I.
These comparisons will be analyzed with consideration given to the
environmental monitoring data compiled from the fourth part of the
project (Environmental Surveillance.)
2. The second overall method of risk assessment will be an in-vitro
study employing the so-called Ames screening method for determination
of carcinogenicity followed up by use of manmalian cell cultures in
an attempt to develop a dose-response relationship between the level
of mineral fibers and degree of mutagenicity.

Objectives. To discover why pricing and other incentive schemes for
environmental protection, so often proposed by economists, are seldom
attractive to legislators, administrators, interest groups and the pub-
lic. To identify the detailed characteristics of environmental problems
that might actually be better handled by such schemes and the critical
characteristics of those that are not best handled that way, or not
enough better to matter. To synthesize a critical appraisal and guide-
lines for choosing among alternative systems of environmental management
Approach. Case studies of several environmental problems or sets of
problems in sufficient detail to evaluate the relevance of pricing
mechanisms. Field work, mostly interviews, to discover the nature of
objections to pricing mechanisms and the bases for objections. Examina-
tion of the incentives that are the unintended consequence of regula-
tory mechanisms that are not explicitly oriented toward incentives.
Current plans. To integrate all elements of the study through a regu-
larly meeting seminar that will include all the investigators under
this project and others, including students, whose current interests
and activities are relevant to this study.

The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of a
polyculture of fishes to reduce nutrients and algae in wastewater.
The key species to be used are Hypopthalmichthyes molitrix and
Aristichthyes nobilis, both are filter feeders. This will be
accomplished by stocking the fish at various rates into a six pond
series of sewage oxidation lagoons at the State Hospital at Benton,
Arkansas. Parameters to be monitored at the outflow of each pond are;
dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, pH, carbon dioxide, turbidit
conductivity, fecal coliform, suspended solids, nutrients, temperature,
flow rate, and plankton populations. Methods of harvesting fish from
sewage lagoons will also be investigated.
Preliminary studies in sewage lagoons and aquaculture ponds have
shown that the presence of these fishes does cause a reduction of
nutrients and a significant impact on plankton populations. The purpose
of this investigation is to determine proper stocking rates and BOD load-
ing rates for lagoons to affect maximum treatment of the effluent.

Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) is a serious pest of crop, range and pasture-
land in the United States. -A cooperative effort among the disciplines of botany,
entomology, and remote sensing is proposed to 'increase the effectiveness of control
procedures and thereby reduce pesticide use. Such studies will determine the
factors which contribute to the successful spread of musk thistle and develop
optimal strategies for detection and control. The resulting data will be used
to develop a conceptual framework for general control strategies.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO COMBINE THE STORM RUNOFF MODEL AND THE
EXPLORE"! HYDRAULIC AND WATER QUALITY MODEL IN SUCH A FASHION THAT THE
ALLIED FORTRAN PROGRAM CAN BE MADE TO RUN ON A SINGLE PASS, ANOTHER
OBJECTIVE IS TO RESTRUCTURE THE COMBINED PROGRAM SO THAT IT CAN BE RUN ON
THE SMALLER COMPUTERS USUALLY AVAILABLE TO THE ENGINEERING FIRMS DOING
IMPACT STUDIES? SUCH MACHINES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 6«x EIGHT-BIT BYTES OF
CORE AND HAVE NO MORE THAN ONE TAPE AND ONE DISK PLUS PRINTER AS PER
IPHERALS, THE APPROACH IS AS FOLUJWSl (1) REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE CORE *E9U
IRED FOR DATA STORAGE BY OVERLY METHODS! (2) REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS
THAT MUST BE CORE RESIDENT AT ANY ONE TIME! (3) CALIBRATE THE VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE COMBINED PROGRAM AT SPECIFIED CHECK POINTS! AND (4) CALIBRATE
BOTH THE COMBINED PROGRAM AND A SENSITIVITY STUDY OF THE SAME. THE
COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR THE TWO MODELS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED AND FOUND TO BE F
LEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH THE NECESSARY OVERLAY WORK. AN INTERDATA 7/16
COMPUTER HAS BEEN CHOSEN AND THE COMPILER AND UTILITY RQUNTINES HAVE BEEN
EXAMINED AND FOUND TO BE ADEQUATE, A FINAL REPORT WILL BE PUBLISHED AT
THE END OF THE PROJECT DESCRIBING THE RESULTS AND GIVING GUIDANCE FOR

This work is aimed at developing tools which can be used for relating the
configurational changes and the system capacity for a computer system
executing the desired workload. A combination of simulation and analytic
modelling is proposed here as the basic approach to be used. The validation
of the models will be done with respect to the Univac equipment at the
University of Maryland.

It is now recognized that animal bioassays are inadequate for
monitoring the thousands of environmental agents which require
screening as possible carcinogens. Several short-term in vitro
tests for mutagenicity and carcinogenicity are currently being
evaluated (by governmental agencies, private industry and various
research groups). Since many environmental mutagens and carcin-
ogens require prior metabolism or whole cells to exert their
effects. Some of these short-term assays use a rat liver
microsomal fraction for activation of the chemical being tested.
There is a paucity of information, however, on whether or not
the activation of a known carcinogen and its covalent binding
to cellular DNA in these j.n vitro systems is quantitatively
and qualitatively similar to~~~that which occurs in intact manmalian
cells, or in the whole animal. The objective of this proposal is
to examine the modified DNA from cells used in these assays after
exposure to the ubiquitous carcinogen benzo (a) pyrene (BP). The
approach will be to incubate tritium labeled BP with microsomes
and Salmonella typhimurium tester strains, or with various
manmalian cell lines. Cellular DNA will then be extracted, analyzed
for radioactivity and fluorescense, and then hydrolyzed to nucleosides
which will be analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography, utilizing
appropriate BP-nucleoside derivatives prepared chemically as markers
to determine the nature of the BP-nucleoside adducts present. Parallel
assays will be done for mutagenicity and transformation and of aryl
hydrocarbon hydroxylase and epoxide hydratase activities. The data
will be correlated with our results obtained in intact human tissues
where it has been possible to determine the structure of the major
adduct formed. This application does not involve recombinant DNA.

PURPOSE
The objective of this proposal is to develop information on the integrated use of
pesticides for the home and garden. A brochure will be developed which will be easy
to read and use. It will stress the use of an integrated approach to home and garden
pest management. Such information should serve to help the consumer through the
baffling array of pesticides from which he must choose over the counter. At the sane
time, the consumer will be given alternate solutions to pest problems such as environ-
mental modification, e.g., litter and trash removal, screening, pest/predator roles in
garden culture and mechanical or manual methods of pest control. Brand names will not
be used. The overriding objective is to aid in reducing adverse effects of pesticide
use.
METHOD
National Audubon proposes to sublet part of the grant to the John Muir Institute
in California. The Institute will research and develop the technical materials on
integrated home and garden pest management for inclusion in the brochure. The
John Muir Institute has developed some information in the subject area outlined pre-
viously and the National Audubon will capitalize on this developing technology by
expanding the scope of that project's work for incorporation into a nationally
pertinent publication.

The Estuarine Research Federation is making arrangements for the "Fourth
International Symposium on Estuaries" to beheld on October 2-5, 1977 at
Mt. Airy Lodge, Pennsylvania. The theme is "Estuarine Processes" but
conveners have been encouraged to emphasize management problems, e.g.,
implications of energy development on the coastal and estuarine environ-
ment and a better definition of the relationship between primary and
secondary productivity. We expect about 1,000 representatives from
governmental agencies, universities, and industry.
Thematically the program will address four principal topic areas comprised
of about 45 invited papers. These are: Estuarine Development and
Resource Management, Estuarine Communities and Ecosystem Relationships,
Man-Estuary Interactions and Estuary-Nearshore Interactions. Special
interest symposia supplement the program to cover six special topics.

OBJECTIVE: The principal objective of the Fourth National Conference on
Individual Onsite Wastewater Systems is to continue an established forum
for communication between professionals concerned with application and
management of onsite wastewater systems. These professionals include en-
gineers and sanitarians responsible for regulation, planners, and attor-
neys. Manufacturers of conventional as well as the technologically ad-
vanced wastewater recycle and water conservation systems, land developers
and other users are expected to participate in conference activities.
APPROACH: This the Fourth National Conference organized by NSF to pro-
vide for exchange of information between regulatory, manufacturing, and
consumer interests concerned with the treatment and disposal of wastes
from individual homes. Federal, state, and local responsibilities will
be reviewed. Particular emphasis will be placed on presenting effective
management plans implemented by state and local agencies to insure the
continued workability and adequate maintenance of all onsite systems. In
view of EPA's position with respective to considering onsite systems as
practical, cost effective alternatives to central sewerage systems in
complying with PL 92-500 requirements for areawide wastewater management
planning (Section 208), this year's conference is particularly timely.
CURRENT PLANS OR PROGRESS: Arrangements for a meeting of the planning
committee on June 15, 1977, have been completed. Representatives of pro-
fessional organizations with concern for onsite treatment alternatives;
federal, state, and local regulatory agencies; researchers; and manufac-
turers have been invited to plan the Fourth National Conference.

By this study we aim to identify categories of persons at high risk for
development of cutaneous malignant melanoma and to isolate behavior patterns
which increase the risk of tumor development. The approach utilizes case
control techniques including the administration of a detailed questionnaire
to both melanoma patients and normal age-sex matched controls. To date
preliminary data on 343 melanoma patients compared to 150 controls suggest
that melanoma patients sunburn more easily and suntan less well. An indepth
exploration of solar exposure patterns and other environmental/occupation
exposures is planned.

Homeowner attitudes and behavior towards insects and pesticides will be explored
by means of a questionnaire in three U.S. metropolitan areas: the San Francisco
Bay region (Calif.), Dallas/Ft. Worth area (Texas), and the New Brunswick/Plainfield
area (N.J.). Two socioeconomic neighborhoods, lower middle class and upper middle
class, will be selected from each metropolitan area. Approximately 100 persons
will be interviewed door-to-door, using standard interview technique, from each
socioeconomic group of each state (total sample size = 600). The questionnaire
survey will be based, in part, on a questionnaire form used in a recent study on
upper middle class homeowners in two Texas cities.
The proposed CA-TX-NJ survey will provide a beginning impression of U.S. homeowner
attitudes and practices towards insects and and pesticides. In particular, it
will produce a great quantity of specific information that earlier studies have
failed to provide. It is expected that the study will also shed insight on
questions raised by the recent EPA report of von Rumker (1972) regarding the use
of pesticides and their impact on U.S. aquatic environments.

1. Objectives: The Ohio River Basin Energy Study (ORBES) was initiated to
assess changes that may occur in the various sectors of society, industry,
and environment as a result of future increases in number of energy con-
version facilities. During the second year of this study each participating
research group will address itself to one of the areas thought to be
affected. The group from the University of Louisville will address aspects
of water quality, water quantity, and special aquatic habitats.
2. Approach: The assessments will be made by compilation and analysis of
existing data possibly supported by Special Studies of specific areas
where existing data is weak or lacking.
3. Current Plans and/or Progress: Participants from seven midwestern
universities divided into three assessment teams have submitted independent
preliminary first cut assessments of the changes which may occur as a
result of these developments. These assessments will be condensed
into one major document which is to be submitted to Congress in July 1977.

PARTICULAR ASPECT* OF CONCERN HERE, HAS SEEN ON THE POTENTIAL OF BIRDS AS
BIQINDICATURS OF POLLUTION, IN THE THREE YEAR PERIOD* 1974-76, MANY
AVIAN SPECIMENS WERE COLLECTED IN THE COLSTRIP AREA BY EPA PERSONNEL AND
GREAT QUANTITIES OF DATA WERE GATHERED ON SEASONAL CYCLES IN BODY COMPOSl

NOT BECOME FUNCTIONAL UNTIL 1975 AND 1976, THESE DATA HAVE THE
POTENTIAL OF PROVIDING A SOLID BASE OF INFORMATION THAT CAN BE USED TO QU
ANTIFY POLLUTION EFFECTS WHICH MAY ACCRUE IN THE FUTURE. AT THIS TIME, HOW
EVER, MANY OF THE COLLECTED BIRD SPECIMENS HAVE NOT UNDERGONE LABORATORY P
ROCESSING NOR HAS EXISTING DATA BEEN PULLED TOGETHER IN USEFUL FORM. IT IS
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY PROPOSED HEREIN TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY

physical, biological, industrial, mining and agricultural make-up of
West Virginia and the Ohio River Basin to enable an interdisciplinary
technology assessment team to predict the impact of future (1985 and
2000 A.D.) energy demands and production on the economy, social patterns
and the environment of the Ohio River Basin, including West Virginia.
(2) Interdisciplinary assessment by 9 public universities in the six state
area of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.
(3) The first of three years, involving data collection, and growth prediction
has been completed for all but West Virginia and Pennsylvania, both of
which are joining the project in the second year.
The project is called ORBES, Ohio River Basin Energy Study.

1. The Ohio River Basin Energy Study (ORBES), Phase II: An Impact Assessment
of Energy Conversion Facilities in the Ohio River Basin, is a continuation
of a comprehensive, policy-oriented technology assessment addressing the broad-
scale environmental, public health, economic, institutional, and social effects
of locating various combinations of energy conversion and support facilities
in the Ohio River Basin.
2. The approach is that of integrated technology assessment, conducted by an
interdisciplinary, interinstitutional (eight state universities in the six
study region states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia) team, with support research performed by other personnel on
a schedule to best fit the research needs of the technology assessment team.
3. Phase I of the study, conducted in 1976-77, was a preliminary, "first-cut"
impact assessment. Most impacts identified were first-order. In Phase II,
data and assessments made in the first year will be drawn upon, and
inadequacies identified will be corrected.

1. Objectives. The Experimental Management Plan for the Ohio River Basin Energy
Study (ORBES), Phase II: An Impact Assessment of the Effect of Energy Conversion Facili-
:ies in the Ohio River Basin is a continuation of the management of a comprehensive, poli1
jriented technology assessment addressing the broad-scale environmental, public health,
jconotnic, institutional, and social effects of locating various combinations of energy
;onversion and support facilities in the Ohio River Basin.
2. Approach. The integrated technology assessment is being conducted by an inter-
jisciplinary, interinstitutional (eight state universities in the six study-region spates
it Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) team, with sup-
port research performed by other personnel on a schedule to best fit the research needs
jf the technology assessment team. The management of this research will involve a com-
plex arrangement to best coordinate efforts and further the achievement of research goals
\ four-person Project Office will perform day-to-day coordination, while a seven-person
fenagement Team consisting of the Experimental Management Plan co-principal investigators
and five U.S. Environmental Protection Agency representatives will provide long-tern and
policy guidance.
3. Current Plans and/or Progress. In Phase I of the study, the Project Office and
Management Team coordinated a similar study, although that phase involved three prelimi-
nary assessment teams drawn from seven university campuses (whose reports were then
integrated by the Project Office). The experience gained during Phase I will be utilized
Ln Phase II. In Phase II, data and assessments made in the first year will be drawn upon
and inadequacies identified will be corrected.
-------

This project is the second phase of a technology assessment of energy
development in the Ohio River Basin. A core team composed of members from
nine different university campuses in six states will direct and delineate
research activities in this phase of the program. First, reports from Phase
I of the project will be reviewed and key issues for further research iden-
tified. The baseline data for the study will be refined and a new set
of energy facility siting criteria developed. The core team will then
review basic technological, sociological, and demographic assumptions and
create a set of energy development scenarios relative to coal mining,
transportation, and conversion facilities, and to other types of energy
facilities in the study region.
Given these scenarios the impacts of the energy facilities on the
physical environment, socio-economic conditions, ecological factors, public
health, institutions, land use, and the quality of life will be assessed.
The Phase II impact analysis will emphasize the tracing of second and
higher-order impacts and the interrelationships among them. Based upon
the impact assessment, a range of possible options under each scenario will
be determined.
-------
805590
The objective of the ORBES project is to conduct an Integrated Technology
Assessment of energy conversion facilities in the Ohio River Basin Region. The
past year has seen over one hundred researchers at eight campuses in the Region
collecting and analyzing baseline data in relevant areas in order to conduct a
first-cut or "mini"-assessment. 'The second year of the project (Phase II) is to
be devoted to identifying, requesting, and supervising research in areas deemed
inadequately covered in the first year. The project has been reconstructed so that
there is a Core Team of thirteen researchers from ten institutions (the ORBES region
has been expanded to include West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania in addition to
last year's Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky areas) who will perform the
Integrated Technology Assessment. The Core Team represents a variety of relevant
disciplines capable of taking on the assessment task.
The University of Kentucky's two Core Team members represent the disciplines
of sociology and economic geography. In addition, the anthropologist is helping
conduct the social impact assessment of increased power production in the ORBES
area. Contributions to be expected include a study of the impact of service areas
on electric power generation and transmission and further refinement of the social
impact assessment analysis. The latter study includes an operationalization of an
environmental orientation paradigm, preparation of demographic profiles of counties
likely to be impacted by energy conversion facilities, classification of counties
by environmental orientation and an impact assessment. This work will be used
cooperatively and integratively by the Core Team to perform the Technology Assessment

The objectives of this proposal is to develop an information and data base for
the detailed consideration of potential impacts of future energy requirements and con-
version activities in the Ohio River Basin. Phase I includes: demography, energy
use by source and by sector; electricity exported and imported; energy reserves,
electrical generation capability by facility and fuel type; plant ownership; and social
and economic data on region residents. In Phase II the baseline data will be completed
by additional information on migration, land use projections, induced industry, public
health, water and air quality, coal mining, social services, recreational facilities
and economics.
The approach will include: 1. collection of available baseline data; 2. Extensive
literature search; 3. Data and information analysis; 4. Participation in Core lean
and public meetings. The results will be compiled into a complete and comprehensive
documents.
Current plans include collection and evaluation of baseline data identical to
those already obtained for Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio and parallel those to
be obtained by all states involved. This includes also participation on Development
of Phase II Work Plan, Energy Conversion Configurations, Impact assessment and De-
finition of Policy Options.

This set of studies represents a portion of a multi-institutional policy-
oriented technology assessment of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts
which might result from a proposed increased concentration of energy conversion
facilities within the Ohio River Basin.
Utilizing the best available data bases, these studies will attempt to
address the broad-scale environmental, institutional, economic and social effects
of various future combinations of energy conversion facilities (i.e., coal-based
plants producing synthetic fuels, as well as nuclear and coal-fired electric
power generating plants) and their required support facilities (i.e., coal raining,
processing and transportation; ash and sludge disposal facilities; nuclear fuel
and reactor waste transportation facilities; and energy transportation systems,
including electrical power transmission systems) that might be built and operated
in this region in the future.
The principal objectives of this assessment are (1) to assist in outlining
the full range of policy options for dealing with selected kinds of development,
alternative levels of development and their possible undesirable effects, and
alternative technological levels of environmental controls; and (2) to analyze
the probable impacts that would result from implementing each option in its total
framework, with special emphasis on the natural environment and its inter-
relationship with public health and welfare. The full range of primary,
secondary, and higher order effects will be considered.

A proposal is submitted to hold a conference in Cincinnati,

Recently enacted laws to be administered by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) call for regulation of toxic or hazardous materials in both products and waste
discharges from manufacturing operations. Because of potential conflicts which may
arise from attempts to simultaneously regulate air, water, solid discharges and product
contaminants, an approach is needed to obviate toxic chemical generation in manufactur-
ing through feedstock or process modification.
The proposed research effort will evaluate typical toxic discharges and product
contaminants for the 16 primary unit processes: nitration, amination by ammonolysis,
diazotization, halogenation, sulfonation, oxidation, Fried el-Crafts, acylation,
hydrogenation, hydroformylation, esterification, saponification, hydrolysis,
alkylation, polymerization, cracking. If toxic discharges and contaminants can be so
characterized, and if the unit processes used in a given industry segment or plant are
identified, then EPA would have a clearer understanding of potential emissions, and,
therefore, would be in a better position to formulate regulatory development activities
The objective of this effort is to characterize toxic discharges and product
contaminants for representative manufacturing operations which utilize the 16 unit
processes and to assess the needs for new control technologies, feedstock and process
modifications to eliminate them.

The City of Chicago Refuse-Derived Fuel Project is one of the first full-scale,
second-generation refuse-derived fuel (RDF) project in the country. The Chicago
project is owned and operated by the City. It is designed to process 1,000 tons-per-
day of waste in two operating shifts and has a completely redundant process line.
The system uses two-stage shredding with a vibrating pan-type air classifier in
between. The air classifier is designed to recover about 77 percent of the incoming
waste as light fraction. The heavy fraction passes under a magnetic drum to recover
ferrous metals. After secondary shredding in a wind-swept vertical shaft mill to re-
duce the particle size to 1^ inches, the RDF is pneumatically transported to storage
bins at the adjacent Commonwealth Edison (CE) Crawfof-d Power Station. The RDF will
be cofired with coal in two large suspension fired boilers (225 and 357 niw) at a 10
percent heat input rate.
The scope of this project can be divided into four broad sections: a) Development
of the Evaluation Plan, b) Collection of Data, c) Analysis of Data, and d) Preparation
of Reports.
The purpose of the project is to assist the EPA contractor in the preparation
of a comprehensive analysis of the system by data collection, data analysis, and
reporting that can be used by both engineers and decision-makers in comparing this
system to alternate resource recovery systems. Toward this end, the output of this
project is to be well-written, comprehensive evaluation of this project that is
suitable for use by other governmental agencies.

THE USE OF BIOASSAYS IN COMBINATION WITH CHEMICAL ANALYSIS SHOULD BE AN
EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS
ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH. THE INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARC
H LABORATORY OF USEPA HAS PREPARED A MANUAL OF PROCEDURES FOR CARRYING OUT
A SERIES OF BIOASSAYS TO SCREEN INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS. THE OBJECTIVE OF
THIS PROPOSAL IS TU PERFORM THESE BIOASSAYS AND EVALUATE THEIR EFF
ECTIVENESS AT NQNFERRQUS METAL SMELTERS UNDER ACTUAL FIELD CONDITIONS,' THE
WORK IS SEGMENTED INTO THREE PHASES, PHASE I IS A DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING
PHASE DURING WHICH PREPARATIONS ARE MADE FQR SAMPLING* CHEMICAL AN
ALYSIS, AND BIOASSAYS, PHASE II IS THE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PHASE, DURING
PHASE HI THE DATA AND PROTOCOLS WILL BE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF FEASIBILITY
OF USING THE BIOASSAY8 IN THE SMELTER INDUSTRY. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR M
ODIFICATIONS IN THE PROGRAM INCLUDING USE OF ALTERNATIVE BIOASSAYS WILL BE
INCLUDED IN THE EVALUATION REPORT.

CULITE, KAOLINITE* AND NATURAL ZEOLITE) FOR POLISHING INDUSTRIAL WASTE STR
EAM EFFUUENTS SUCH A3 FELSPAR MINING AND PROCESSING, THESE SORBENT COMBINA
TIONS WERE PROVEN IN OUR STUDIES TO BE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FOR TREATING HE
AVY METALS* QRCANICS* AND TOXIC ANIQN8 IN INDUSTRIAL SLUDGE LEACHATES. FOR
EXAMPLE* FLUORIDE CONCENTRATIONS RANGING FROM 7 TO 155 PPM ENCOUNTERED
IN CALCIUM FLUORIDE SLUDGE LEACHATE WERE REDUCED TO LESS THAN i PPM, USING
THE ABOVE MENTIONED INEXPENSIVE COMBINATIONS, THE PROPOSED ONE-YEAR
STUDY IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES* NAMELY* ANALYTICAL AND LYSIMETER
STUDIES, THE ANALYTICAL STUDY PHASE WILL INVOLVE THE IDENTIFICATIO
N AND CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT OF THE HEAVY METALS, TOXIC ANIONS AND ORGA
NICS PRESENT IN THE WASTE STREAM EFFLUENT, ONCE THE PROMISING COMBINATIONS
HAVE BEEN SELECTED, THE PHASE OF LYSIMETER STUDY WILL BE CARRIED OUT
TO ALLOW US TO DEFINE SORBENT COMBINATIONS THAT WJLL PROVIDE OPTIMUM

REVIEW
ORT
IN ANALYZING THE CURRENT AND FUTURE ENERGY STATUS OF THE UNITED STATES* IT
IS CLEAR THAT THE INCREASED DEVELOPMENT OF COAL MINING MUST BE AN
INTEGRAL PART OF THE LONG-TERM PLANS, WESTERN COAL REGIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO SUPPLY A GREAT DEAL OF THE COUNTRY'S NEEDS, THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED
RESEARCH is TO ESTABLISH A METHOD FOR PROSPECTIVE EPIDEMIOLOGIC
ANALYSIS OF THE HEALTH EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN
COAL SITES, TWO ASPECTS OF ENERGY DEVELOPMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IN EV
ALUATING HEALTH OUTCQMESI THE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY PER SE AND THE EFFECT OF
THE UNPLANNED GROWTH WHICH OCCURS AS A RESULT OF RAPID ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT, THE EMPHASIS IN THIS RESEARCH PROGRAM WILL BE ON THE FORMER,
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON WATER POLLUTANT ASPECTS OF MINING ACTIVITY, A
LIST OF COAL-DEVELOPMENT IMPACTED COMMUNITIES IN THE WESTERN COAL MINING
AREA HAS BEEN PREPARED, AFTER SELECTING A FEW SITES FROM THAT LIST FOR
ANALYSIS* AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON THE POPULATION'S HEALTH STATUS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY WILL BE COMPILED, INCLUDING COMMUNITY AND E
NVIRQNMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, THIS INFORMATION WILL BE EVALUATED USING THE
CRITERIA OF ITS ADEQUACY AS A BASJS FOR PROSPECTIVE EPIDEMIOLOGIC RESEARC
H. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE INFORMATION DERIVED FROM THIS RESEARCH WILL
BE DESCRIPTIVE IN NATURE, NO STATEMENTS REGARDING CURRENT CAUSE
•EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE MADE» HOWEVER, THE BASIS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR
