Such changes offer industry substantial savings in reduced raw material, pollution control, and liability costs as well as help protect the environment and reduce risks to worker health and safety." The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 Purpose of this Document Thisannualguidecontains information about publicly sponsored pollution prevention resources and training opportunities available across the Nation. Drawing upon diverse sources, the document consolidates a wide range of information not easily accessible by the public. The goal of this publication is to provide persons interested in learning more about pollution prevention options with a single source of information on: Where to obtain pollution prevention training, or who might be able to share experiences about establishing a new training opportunity; What publications and videos are available that can help them learn more about pollution prevention; Whom to contact at the State and Federal levels for assistance; Which universitycentersareconducting pollution prevention research and training; Which Federal, State, and nonprofit organizations can provide additional pollution prevention information and technical assistance. Additional information on the topics covered in this manual and on related subjects can be obtained by accessing the Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse (PPIC), which offers a wide range of free information services (see Section 7, Pollution Prevention Clearinghouses and Associations). What Is Pollution Prevention? Faced with the increasing costs and liabilities associated with end-of-pipe waste management practices, many waste generators are turning to pollution prevention as a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective alternative. Pollution prevention (also known as source reduction) is defined as: Any practice which reduces the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering the waste stream or otherwise released to the environment (including fugitive emissions) prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal; and reduces the hazards to public health and the environment associated with the release of such substances, pollutants, or contaminants.' Pollution prevention includes such techniques as toxics use reduction, raw material substitution, process or equipment modification, product redesign, training, improved inventory control, production planning and sequencing, and better management practices. Pollution Prevention Is Our Notional Policy Acknowledging the importance of pollution prevention in the national environmental strategy, Congress passed the landmark Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. This act establishes as national policy an environmental management hierarchy that sets 1. Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §13101,et. seq. POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES ------- pollution prevention as the option of first choice. For those wastes that are not capable of being reduced at the source, this hierarchy considers recycling to be the next best management option. A waste generator should turn to treatment or disposal to solve a waste generation problem only after source reduction and recycling have been considered. EPA's Leadership in Preventing Pollution The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 reinforces EPA's continuing and aggressive effort to integrate pollution prevention into all of its programs and activities. Released in February 1991, EPA's "Pollution Prevention Strategy" provides guidance on incorporating pollution prevention into ongoing programs and emphasizes the need for continued strong regulatory and enforcement programs. The strategy includes a plan for achieving substantial voluntary reductions of targeted high risk industrial chemicals through pollution prevention. The plan, known as the 33/50 Program, is aimed at reducing 17 high risk chemicals 33 percent by the end of 1992 and at least 50 percent by the end of 1995 (see Section V: U.S. EPA Pollution Prevention Programs). The 33/50 Program is designed to maximize private sector initiatives while challenging industry to achieve ambitious prevention goals. The Agency's pollution prevention strategy also calls for the development of plans for the consumer, agricultural, energy, transportation and Federal sectors. Through these activities EPA strives to promote pollution prevention efforts by other Federal agencies, States, local governments, industry, universities, nonprofit organizations, and the general public. The Agency's pollution prevention efforts include providing technical information transfer and exchange mechanisms, administering grant programs, conducting research, and offering public outreach services (contactthe PPICfor information aboutspecific initiatives). Updates to this Guide Because of the high visibility and rapid growth of this field, many pollution prevention efforts are in a state of flux. We worked to ensure that the information in this guide was as current as possible when the document was sent to press. Given the dynamic character of the field, however, some information will have changed since it was collected. We plan to expand and update this publication annually to include additional information called to our attention in the future.

U.S. EPA's 33/50 Program U.S. EPA Headquarters/Laboratory Contacts/ Program Summaries U.S. EPA Regional Office Contacts and 33/50 Program Contacts POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES EH EJ U.S. EPA RESOURCES ------- ERA'S 33/50 Program Announced early in 1991, EPA's 33/50 Program is a voluntary pollution prevention initiative seeking to achieve real reductions in pollution in a relatively short period. Under this program, EPA has identified 17 high priority toxic chemicals. EPA's Administrator has set a goal of reducing the total amount of these chemicals released into the. environment and transferred offsite by 33 percent at the end of 1992 and by 50 percent at the end of 1995. EPA is seeking reductions primarily through pollution prevention practices going beyond regulatory requirements. EPA oho will be encouraging industry to develop a preventive approach seeking continuous environmental improvement even beyond these reductions and these chemicals. Expected Results Success in the program will be measured by nationwide reductions, rather than results at each company orfacility. This approach provides flexibility and allows participating companies to develop reduction strategies that are the most cost-effective for their facilities. In numeric terms, the goal is to reduce the amount of releases and off-site transfers from the 1.4 billion pounds reported in 1988 to 700 million pounds by 1995. EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) will be used to track these reductions using 1988 data as a baseline. Selection of Chemicals Each of the 1 7 chemicals was selected from TRI based on a number of factors, including high pro- duction volume, high releases and offsite transfers of the chemical relative to total production, opportuni- ties for pollution prevention, and potential for caus- ing detrimental health and environmental effects. POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES U.S. EPA RESOURCES ------- Implementation EPA is contacting companies to provide them with information on the 33/50 Program and to solicit their participation. Companies are being asked to identify and implement cost-effective pollution prevention practices related to the 17 chemicals and to develop written commitments stating their reduction goals and how they plan to achieve them. Access to these written commitment statements will be made available at a public docket at EPA Headquarters. Relationship to Other Programs The 33/50 Program is part of EPA's overall Pollution Prevention Strategy and the first of the Agency's new pollution prevention initiatives. It is also a major component of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics' Existing Chemicals Revitalization Program. All of the 33/50 Program chemicals are regulated under one or more existing environmental statutes, and the 33/50 Program is intended to complement, not replace, ongoing EPA programs. All 1 7 targeted chemicalswill be subjectto the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards of the new Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA believes that the incentive for early reductions offered by the MACT provisions will further the progress of the 33/50 Program.

EPA OFFICES Pollution Prevention Division Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics U.S. EPA 401 M Street, S.W. (PM-219) Washington, D.C. 20460 202-260-3557 This office was established in 1988 to help integrate a multimedia pollution prevention ethic both inside and outside EPA. Its primary role is to support pollution prevention efforts by EPA's program offices, EPA Regions, States and local governments, industry, and the public. Special Projects Office (33/50 Program) Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics U.S. EPA 401 M Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 202-260-1763 This office directs the 33/50 Program. The program is EPA's voluntary pollution prevention initiative to reduce national pollution releases and offsite transfers of 1 7 toxic chemicals by 33 percent by the end of 1992 and by 50 percent by the end of 1995. Since the program's beginning in February 1991, 6,000 companies who have reported releases of the targeted chemicals have been notified and asked to participate in the program. EPA is using theToxic Release Inventory (TRI) data for 1988 as a baseline. Office of Research and Development U.S. EPA 401 M Street, S.W. (PM-681) Washington, D.C. 20460 202-260-5747 POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES U.S. EPA RESOURCES ------- This office has prime responsibility for EPA's pollution prevention research. In 1987, ORD initiated the Waste Minimization Research program that primarily addressed ways to minimize hazardous wastes. In 1989, ORD began to build a multi-media research program. The plan for expanding this program, described in the Pollution Prevention Research Plan: Report to Congress, focused on six functional areas of pollution prevention research: 1) product research; 2) process research; 3) recycling/reuse research; 4) social science research; 5) anticipatory research; and 6) technology transfer. Over the past four years (FY 88-92) pollution prevention research has grown in all sixfunctional areas and has expanded to air, water, pesticides, and toxic substances. Applied research to reduce hazardous/ industrial wastes has continued to be a priority, and has focused primarily on "process" research related to different industry sectors. Product research, social science research and technical assistance have been growth areas. The Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse was established to transfer data and research results to clients in government, industry and the general public. Pollution prevention research over the next five years will target: 1) high risk environmental problems for which pollution prevention offers a cost-effective solution for reducing the risks (such as indoor air pollution and ozone depleting substances), and 2) cross-cutting research that can be applied to multiple problems, such as measurement, modeling, and life cycle analysis. Pollution Prevention Research Branch Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory Office of Research and Development U.S. EPA 26 West Martin Luther King Drive Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 513-569-7215 EPA's Pollution Prevention Research Branch encourages the development and adoption of processing technologies and products in the U.S. that will reduce the generation of pollutants. The branch is involved in studies, research, and demonstration projects, including the Innovative Clean Technologies Project, the Clean Products Program, the Assessments Program, Waste Reduction Evaluation at Federal Sites (WREAFS), and support for the 33/50 Program. Waste Minimization Branch Office of Solid Waste U.S. EPA 401 M Street, S.W. (05321-W) Washington, D.C. 20460 703-678-8402 This Branch has recently completed a multiyear action plan for waste minimization; the purpose of this plan is to incorporate waste minimization throughout the RCRA program. The RCRA program will then be integrated into EPA's pollution prevention program under the Office of Toxic Substances. U.S. EPA Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory Office of Research and Development Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711 704-629-2821 The mission of the Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory (AEERL) is to research, develop and demonstrate methods and technologies for controlling air pollution from stationary sources.

POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND U.S. EPA RESOURCES ------- POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES U.S. EPA RESOURCES ------- 6 Section 6 EPA's Environmental Education Activities and Libraries The U.S. EPA is promoting environmental education including pollution prevention topics through various offices and projects. This section describes these educational efforts. POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES EDUCATION ------- U.S. EPA's Office of Environmental Education EPA Pollution Prevention Center for Curriculum Development and Dissemination National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education Project The Agency has established an Office of Environmental Education as authorized by the recently enacted National Environmental Education Act of 1990. The office's mandate is to foster an enhanced environmental ethic in society by improving the environmental literacy of ouryouth and increasing the public's awareness of environmental problems. The Office will provide national leadership in these areas, and will build upon the ongoing work of public, nonprofit, and private sector groups already pursuing these goals. Agency environmental education programs will emphasizefourspecific themes: wise use of natural resources, prevention of environmental problems, the importance of environmentally sensitive personal behavior, and the need for additional action at the community level to address environmental problems. The Office's focus will be primarily on the K-12 levels, and the program will be multimedia in its approach. Although grant and fellowship programs are being planned by the Office, no funding is authorized for these programs until FY 92. Office of Environmental Education U.S. EPA 401 M St., SW(A-107) Washington, D.C. 20460 202-260-4484 The University of Michigan has been awarded funding for a national pollution prevention education center. This center will develop pollution prevention curriculum modulesfor undergraduate and graduate engineering, business, and natural resources classes, and for broad distribution to other universities nationwide. The center plans to conduct outreach efforts through short summer courses, offer pollution prevention internships for students at business and industrial facilities, and provide information and education for universityfaculty through departmental and interdepartmental seminars. The University has committed to support the center for 3 years with substantial supplemental funding. The award of this project, worth more than $300,000, grows out of an EPA "2% Set-Aside" project initiated by EPA's Office of Toxic Substances. Dr. Gregory A. Keoleian School of Natural Resources University of Michigan Dana Building 430 E. University Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1115 313-764-1412 The U.S. EPA, working in partnership with State and local governments, industry, educational institutions, textbook publishers, and other entities, is embarking on a projectthatwould ultimately produce pollution prevention education materials for students and teachers. This project will contribute to the establishment of an environmental ethic and work toward improved environmental quality. The POLLUTION PREVENTION AND RESOURCES TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES EDUCATION ------- materials to be produced will concentrate on kindergarten through grade 12, or a specific segment of this broad group, and will emphasize that preventing pollution at the source is preferable to managing pollutants after they are produced. A short-term goal is to provide our country's youth with an appreciation and an understanding of the potential benefits of pollution prevention, including conservation and .recycling. The ultimate goal of the project is to instill in our future leaders, an ethic for more integrated environmental decisionmaking, pollution prevention, and protection of human health and the environment. This program is directed by an Agency-wide group, the National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education Task Force. This task force comprises membership from all EPA Regions, the Office of the Administrator, and the Office of Pollution Prevention. The actual form of the materials to be produced will be determined with the assistance of an Advisory Board to the task force. The task force will also encourage the private production of complementing pollution prevention education materials, e.g., videos, films, computer software, teaching aids, textbooks, etc. Special emphasis and consideration will be given to the environmental education needs of urban and rural youths. The National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education Task Force is co- chaired by: Douglas Cooper Office of Federal Activities U.S. EPA 401 M St. SW Washington, D.C. 202-260-5052 and Rowena Micheals Director of Public Affairs U.S. EPA Region VII 726 Minnesota Avenue Kansas City, Kansas 66101 913-236-2803 Educational Curriculum Information in the PPIC Bibliographic Data Base of Educational Curriculum Material As the first project of the National Pollution Prevention Environmental Education Project, the Office of Pollution Prevention has developed an annotated bibliographic data base of educational curriculum material. This purpose of this project is to POLLUTION PREVENTION RESOURCES AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES EDUCATION ------- identify the gaps in pollution prevention education materials and to avoid duplicative efforts. This bibliography contains approximately 2,500 references to pollution prevention, including recycling, resource recovery, source reduction, energy and water conservation, and composting. The data base is accessible to the public on the PIES and includes, as available, the following information: date of publication, a brief abstract, cost, and information on how to obtain the publication. PIES Literature Search Data Base The PPIC Repository includes a collection of educational materials covering a range of source reduction and recycling issues. The target audience for most of these materials is students in kindergarten through grade 12. These documents are abstracted and currently available on the PIES' literature search data base. The collection will continue to expand as new instructional materials are developed. To obtain these abstracts, access the PIES and type "open 1" at the Main Menu prompt. Select the data base number 6 "General Publications Abstracts" and search on the keywords "educational" or "curriculum." If a more focused search is desired, combine these keywords with more descriptive keywords (for example, "educational+recycling"). Note: these abstracts will eventually be combined with the bibliographic data base mentioned above. The PPIC is also collecting curriculum materials for undergraduate and graduate engineering courses that address pollution prevention. The documents will also be accessible through the literature search data base. If you have any materials you wish to include on this system, please contact the PPIC (see "Other Pollution Prevention Resources"). POLLUTION PREVENTION AND RESOURCES TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES EDUCATION ------- U.S. EPA Libraries EPA libraries are excellent sources of pollution prevention information.

Waste Reduction Advisory System (WRAS) The WRAS is a user-friendly computerized waste management tool devel- oped by the HWRIC, the U.S. EPA, and other State waste management programs. It provides waste generators with a wide range of options for reducing and recycling industrial waste. The WRAS has two parts: the Waste Reduction Audit Checklist (WRAC) and the WRIB. The WRAC gives individualized waste reduction assistance via a series of questions presented in the audit checklist. It is designed to assess a facility's current waste reduction activities and then identify potential waste reduction techniques for each waste generating process and job operation. The WRIB provides users with more than 300 literature abstracts and case studies on current waste reduction technologies. Currently, the WRAS case study data base is being merged with the PIES data base (see the description of the PPIC in this section). A fully executable WRAS program, complete with a User's Guide, costs $95. To access this program, a user needs a fully IBM compatible PC with at least 640 K of memory, a hard disk, and DOS version 2.1 or greater.
