Office of Resources Management and Administration
Functions
The Office of Resources Management and
Administration (ORMA) ensures that
ORD's laboratories and centers have the
financial resources, facilities, and people
necessary to conduct world-class environ-
mental research. ORMA provides manage-
ment and administrative services needed to
integrate the activities of ORD staff at field
sites across the country into a cohesive, ef-
fective research and development program.
To accomplish this, ORMA provides sup-
port services and leadership to ORD's labo-
ratories and centers in many areas:
budgeting, finance, human resources, train-
ing, information systems and technology,
administrative procedures, health and safety,
facility operations, and ORD's equipment
and laboratory infrastructure.
Budget Formulation and
Execution
ORMA develops and manages ORD's over-
all budget of more than $550 million.
Working closely with the Agency, the Of-
fice of Management and Budget, and Con-
gressional committees, ORMA ensures that
budget proposals are consistent with ORD's
Strategic Plan and respond to the top pri-
ority regulatory and program needs of EPA.
Overseeing the implementation of ORD's
research budget is also an ORMA respon-
sibility, including the following: directing
operating plan development; tracking, moni-
toring, and analyzing changes and expendi-
tures; and financial management and
analysis functions.
A sound research program must be dynamic,
modifying plans to include emerging issues
and responding to environmental crises,
such as the oil fires of Kuwait or the Exxon
Valdez oil spill. As ORD's financial man-
ager, ORMA ensures that resources are
available to assess and address the highest
areas of environmental risk.
Extramural Management,
Management Reviews, and
Internal Controls
ORMA is the principal staff office to ORD's
Senior Resource Official. In this capacity,
ORMA oversees all of ORD's contracting
and assistance activities and conducts inde-
pendent reviews of ORD laboratory and
center operations in support of sound sci-
ence.
ORMA develops and administers ORD-
wide policies and procedures to promote
more effective administrative practices. An
office-wide program of management re-
views, jointly administered by laboratories,
centers, and ORMA, helps evaluate the
effectiveness of operations and compliance
with federal and EPA rules. Each year, ORD
staff develops and implements strategies to
promote integrity, effectiveness, and effi-
ciency in ORD's business management
practices.
ORD-wide accountability is maintained
through initiatives such as the Government
Performance and Results Act, special analy-
ses, the review of the Government Account-
ing Office and Inspector General audits, and
the activities of ORD's Management Coun-
cil, chaired by ORD's Senior Resource Of-
ficial and comprised of senior management
officials from each laboratory, center, and
office.
Human Resources and
Infrastructure
ORD's researchers are recognized world-
wide for their accomplishments. ORMA
ensures that career programs are in place
for them, that resources are available for
scientific and managerial training, and that
sound performance is rewarded. In this ef-
fort, ORMA works in partnership with the
ORD Human Resources Council which is
comprised of staff representatives from all
ORD sites across the country
-------
Office of Resources Management and Administration
ORMA keeps ORD's infrastructure strong
to ensure that ORD's science can be per-
formed. In this area, ORMA provides ad-
ministrative direction and coordinates
decision making with regard to procurement
of scientific equipment, new construction
projects, the working capital fund, and
maintenance projects for facilities. ORMA
ensures that laboratories comply with envi-
ronmental regulations and sees mat employ-
ees are not exposed to harmful working
conditions.
Information Management
Keeping up with rapidly evolving informa-
tion technology is a challenge for most large
organizations, and is especially important
in the field of research and development.
ORMA coordinates information resources
management for ORD. It improves infor-
mation access for researchers and ensures
that activities carried out by ORD comply
with federal and EPA policies and regula-
tions concerning the maintenance, acquisi-
tion, and management of all hardware and
software required for data processing. This
responsibility includes the formulation of
information systems policy, development
and oversight of ORD-wide ADP contracts,
and the ORD Management Information
System.
Administrative Management
and Analysis
ORMA manages the Assistant Ad-
ministrator's correspondence, all interna-
tional travel requests and Freedom of

Office of Science Policy
Overview
The Office of Science Policy (OSP) is re-
sponsible for establishing and maintaining
strong working relationships among science
programs in the Office of Research and De-
velopment and science and regulatory pro-
grams in EPA program and regional offices.
A primary objective is to assure effective
and timely interactions among scientific
experts in the ORD laboratory system and
other EPA programs to enable ORD to
provide scientific information, counsel, and
assistance in policy formulation and other
regulatory development activities. A sec-
ond, equally important objective is to use
these interactions to help assure strategic
planning of ORD's research program.
Functions
The Office of Science Policy has two pri-
mary functions: (1) Guide the use of sci-
entific analyses in current EPA decisions
by participating in ongoing regulatory
and science policy activities of EPA labo-
ratories, program and regional offices,
and the Science Policy Council (SPC).
Teams provide media-specific regulatory
and science policy support to the EPA pro-
gram offices and regions, and the Science
Policy Council on current science issues
facing the Agency. These Teams formulate
coordinated ORD and Agency positions on
science/policy issues, including proposed
legislation. (2) Assist in determining the
kind and quality of information available
for future environmental decisions by
leading ORD and Agency research plan-
ning activities. Teams manage future sci-
ence needs, through the strategic planning
process for the ORD research program, to
ensure that it both meets the needs of EPA's
laboratories, program offices and regions,
and draws upon and enhances ORD's
unique expertise. Teams work with each of
the EPA program offices and regional of-
fices to manage this effort through EPA's
Research Coordination Council and Re-
search Coordination Teams. These groups
develop EPA's overall program of human
health and ecological research for use in
Agency decision-making.
Other Office of Science Policy responsi-
bilities include science communication,
planning accountability, special issues
analysis, and office administrative activi-
ties.
The Administration Team serves as the
principal staff on all matters relating to fi-
nancial and administrative management
support to the Office. This includes coordi-
nation with appropriate ORD and Agency
offices in activities supporting budget for-
mulation and execution, human resources
management, management integrity activi-
ties, funds controls, information and records
management, meeting facilitation and or-
ganization, and extramural management of
the OSP.
The Science Policy Council Team serves
as the principal staff supporting the multi-
office senior level Science Policy Council,
chaired by the Deputy Administrator. The
staff supports the SPC, its Steering Com-
mittee, panels and workgroups in work or
activities that address selected science
policy issues. These include cross-program,
cross-media, and cross-cutting scientific/
technical issues of importance to the
Agency.
The Planning Staff is responsible for man-
aging and supporting the strategic planning
process for ORD's research program to en-
sure that it meets the needs of EPA's pro-
gram offices and regions, and draws upon
ORD's unique scientific expertise. This
requires coordination with the media Re-
search Coordination Teams and ORD's Of-
fice of Resources Management and
Administration, to assure effective program,
regional and laboratory participation in
ORD research planning efforts. The Plan-
ning Staff manages and supports the multi-
11

which serves as the forum for discussion
and recommendations supporting decisions
regarding the Agency's research program.
The Regional/State/Local Staff is respon-
sible for managing the Regional Scientist
Program and supporting efforts to identify
and incorporate regional, state and local
needs into the research planning process.
The staff also promotes the use of science
tools in regional, state and local priority
setting and program implementation, and
enhances understanding of the Agency's
science and technical activities through re-
gional outreach and technical assistance.
The Regional Scientist Program is de-
signed to promote information exchange
between ORD and the Regions and foster
greater consideration of science and tech-
nology in Regional decision-making. Sci-
entists are detailed from ORD laboratories
and centers to the EPA Regional offices
and serve as liaisons to provide continuity
on science research activities.
The Air and Water Staff consists of two
teams: the Air Team and the Water Team.
Each team is responsible, in its respective
area of expertise, for assuring effective ORD
participation in and assistance to EPA regu-
latory and policy development activities,

Assessment Group, and Acting Director, Reproductive Effects Assessment Group. Dr.
Farland began his EPA career in 1979 as a health scientist in the Office of Toxic Sub-
stances. Dr. Farland's career has been characterized by a commitment to the development
of national and international approaches to the testing and assessment of the fate and
effects of environmental agents. Dr. Farland received his Ph.D. degree in 1976 from
UCLA in cell biology and biochemistry, an M.A. degree in 1972 in zoology from UCLA,
and a B.S. degree in 1970 from Loyola University, Los Angeles. He was awarded an
Individual National Research Service Award from the National Cancer Institute to pursue
postdoctoral training in DNA damage and repair at the University of California, Irvine,
and at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Dr. Farland serves on a number of committees and advisory boards including
• the executive committee of the National Toxicology Program,
EPA Liaison to the Public Health Service Environmental Health Policy Committee,
• Risk Assessment Subcommittee of the Committee on Environment and Natural
Resources of the Office of Science and Technology,
Science Advisory Panel of the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology,
Science Advisory Panel of EMF Research at the Electric Power Research Institute,
and
• Council of the Society for Risk Analysis.
Since 1987, he has been a member of the Editorial Board for Risk Analysis and is an
active participant in annual meetings and the annual risk assessment course.

National Center for Environmental Assessment
ORD's National Center for Environmental
Assessment (NCEA) is the national resource
center for the overall process of human
health and ecological risk assessments; and
the integration of hazard, dose-response, and
exposure data and models to produce risk
characterizations. NCEA occupies a criti-
cal position in ORD between (1) the re-
searchers in other ORD components who
are generating new findings and data, and
(2) the regulators in the EPA program of-
fices and regions who must make regula-
tory, enforcement, and remedial action
decisions. Thus, NCEA is uniquely posi-
tioned to influence ORD's future research
agenda to assure that it addresses research
needs identified by risk assessments and to
serve as consultants to the programs and
regions on the use of science in environ-
mental decision making. In support of these
functions, NCEA focuses its work in three
major areas:
• Develop methodologies that reduce
uncertainties in current approaches
dose-response models and fac-
tors
exposure models and factors
probabilistic models
community-based risk assess-
ment
• Conduct assessments of contami-
nants and sites of national signifi-
cance
• Provide guidance and support to risk
assessors
data bases
risk assessment guidelines
expert tools
expert consultation and program
support
risk assessment training
Other important goals of NCEA are to:
. Advance the integration of ecologi-
cal risk assessment with human
health assessment as a fundamental
approach in risk assessment activi-
ties
• Act as a catalyst for advances in the
science of risk assessment brought
about by cooperation and an ex-
change of ideas among environmen-
tal health professionals in the federal,
state, industrial, academic, environ-
mental, public interest, and interna-
tional communities
• Characterize the impacts on ecologi-
cal and human systems whether they
result from exposure(s) to single,
complex, or multiple physical,
chemical, biological, or radiological
stressors
NCEA is a multi-disciplinary team of over
150 scientists and support staff in three
Divisions and the Risk Assessment Forum
staff. Figure 1 illustrates the overall make-
up of the NCEA staff. Each NCEA Divi-
sion has assessment responsibilities,
programmatic focuses, and areas of special-
ized technical expertise.
The NCEA Division in Cincinnati,
Ohio, is a focal point for water and
waste programmatic issues. The Cin-
cinnati office also maintains the fol-
lowing areas of special technical
emphasis:
chemical mixtures
federal facility chemical assess-
ment
microbiological risks
• The NCEA Division in Research Tri-
angle Park, North Carolina, is a fo-
cal point for air programmatic issues.
The RTF office also maintains the
18

following areas of special technical
emphasis:
pulmonary toxicology
lead
fuel and fuel additives
The NCEA Division in Washington,
DC, is a focal point for pesticides,
toxics, and Superfund programmatic
issues. The Washington office also
maintains the following areas of
special technical emphasis:
ecological assessment
exposure assessment
cancer risk assessment
developmental toxicity and re^
productive effects assessment
The Risk Assessment Forum staff is
responsible for coordinating and
implementing the health and ecologi-
cal assessment activities of EPA's
Risk Assessment Forum. The Forum
is responsible for scientific and sci-
ence policy analysis of selected pre-
cedent-setting or controversial risk
assessment issues of Agency-wide
interest. Some Forum activities in-

National Center for Environmental Research and
Quality Assurance
Overview
NCERQA, located in Washington, DC, has
primary responsibility to issue and manage
research grant and fellowship programs. The
center's programs are designed to expand
the Environmental Protection Agency's
science and technology base and the pool
of qualified environmental professionals.
The center also serves as EPA's focal point
for issues on quality assurance, and peer
review. NCERQA is comprised of four
divisions: the Environmental Engineering
Research Division; the Environmental Sci-
ences Research Division; the Quality As-
surance Division; and the Peer Review
Division.
NCERQA is one of five field components
of EPA's Office of Research and Develop-
ment. NCERQA manages the components
of the Science To Achieve Results (STAR)
Program (grants and fellowships); the En-
vironmental Research Centers Program;
other centers, such as the Hazardous Sub-
stance Research Centers mandated by
CERCLA; other Congressionally targeted
centers; Early Career Awards; the Small
Business Innovative Research Program and
other assistance programs, including the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science — Environmental Science and
Engineering Fellows Program; the Resident
Research Associateship and Postdoctoral
and Senior Research Awards Program;
EPSCOR; the Culturally Diverse Institution
Undergraduate Fellowship Program; the
Culturally Diverse Institution Summer In-
ternship Program; and the Cultural Diver-
sity Academics Institution Program.
Mission
NCERQA was established to conduct
(through grant, fellowship, center and other
assistance programs) a high quality envi-
ronmental research program focused on the
Agency's critical science needs. The re-
search program is designed to engage the
nation's best scientists from universities and
non-profit centers to solve our environmen-
tal problems. The results from this research
will provide a scientific foundation for the
Agency to make sound environmental de-
cisions and policies.
Environmental Engineering
Research
The Environmental Engineering Research
Division is responsible for planning, admin-
istering, and managing the following pro-
grams: grants for research projects and
special topic research centers in the engi-
neering disciplines relevant to public health
and/or ecosystem protection; the Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Pro-
gram; and coordination of ORD efforts in
support of the EPA-wide Common Sense
Initiative.
Environmental Sciences
Research
The Environmental Sciences Research Di-
vision is responsible for planning, adminis-
tering, and managing the following
programs: grants for research projects and
special topic research centers in the bio-
logical, physical and social sciences relevant
to public health and/or ecosystem protec-
tion; undergraduate, graduate, and post-
doctoral fellowships; the ORD-wide visiting
scientists program; and the Hazardous Sub-
stance Research Centers.
Peer Review
The Peer Review Division is responsible
for two functions: (1) the conduct of peer
review for the Center's investigator-initi-
ated research grants; applications for gradu-
ate fellowships; and applications for
assistance to establish environmental re-
search centers. (2) on a case by case basis
conduct in-depth peer reviews of specific
ORD and Agency projects.
28
-------
National Center for Environmental Research and
Quality Assurance (continued)
Quality Assurance
The Quality Assurance Division is respon-
sible for policy and training development
and oversight of implementation of the
Agency-wide mandatory quality assurance
(QA) program, applicable to all environ-
mental measurement operations. The Divi-
sion is also responsible for overseeing
implementation of the Agency-wide policy
for peer review of scientific and technical
products. The Division develops Agency
policies and procedures for planning, imple-
menting, and assessing the effectiveness of
the Agency-wide quality system, reviews
quality management plans from all Agency
organizations, performs periodic manage-
ment assessments of the implementation of
the quality management plans, and devel-
ops generic quality-related training pro-
grams. In addition, the Division conducts
periodic management assessments of the
implementation of peer review in programs,
Regions, laboratories and centers, makes
recommendations regarding improvements
to the Agency's peer review policies, and
develops generic training on the peer re-
view policies and processes.
Science to Achieve Results
One of NCERQA's primary new research
programs is the Science to Achieve Results
(STAR) Program. The STAR Program was
developed in response to several blue rib-
bon panel reviews to improve the quality
of science used in EPA's decision making
process. ORD developed STAR as a major
component of its new risk-based Strategic
Plan. STAR is designed to recruit and en-
gage the participation of the nation's best
scientists in the implementation of the Of-
fice of Research and Development's new
research program. STAR is a three-part
program:
1. Focused Requests for Applications
(RFAs), targeting research topics that ad-
dress the specific science needs of EPA;
2. Exploratory Research Grants Program,
providing support for investigator-initiated
grants in broad topical areas such as eco-
logical effects of pollution;
3. Graduate Fellowships Program, support-
ing the development of the nation's scien-
tific base dealing with environmental
concerns into the next century.
4. Environmental Research Centers Pro-
gram, includes competitively selected uni-
versities that focus on long-term, multi
disciplinary issues of concern to EPA.
Relationship of the STAR
Program to the ORD
Strategic Plan
The ORD Strategic Plan defines new direc-
tions and goals for the Office of Research
and Development's research by using a risk-
based process to determine future research
priorities. The STAR program is an impor-
tant component of the new directions de-
scribed in the Strategic Plan. It is a
mechanism for accomplishing the research
objectives in the plan. The STAR program
is derived from the topic-specific research
plans that are currently being developed
from the ORD Strategic Plan. Each topic
specific research plan, such as for particu-
lates in air or for disinfection by-products
in drinking water, describes the research
that must be performed to provide the in-
formation that EPA policy makers need to
make decisions. These research plans are
written by EPA-wide work groups and
undergo independent peer review. When the
research plans are final, ORD then decides
which work can best be accomplished with
the skills and expertise of the intramural
staff, and which research is best accom-
plished through grants or other mechanisms.
The specific funding announcements known
as Requests for Applications (RFAs) in the
STAR Program are thus written to be con-
sistent with the ORD Strategic Plan and
topic specific research plans and to comple-
29

Assurance (continued)
ment the work done intramurally. The ORD
Strategic Plan lists as high priority areas
for research for the next few years:
• Drinking water disinfection
• Paniculate matter in air
Endocrine disrupters
• Ecosystem risk assessment
• Health risk assessment
• Pollution Prevention and new
technologies
Other areas of high importance that will
continue to be a major part of ORD's re-
search program include:
• Air pollutants
« Indoor air
Global change
• Drinking water (in addition to
disinfection issues)
• Waste site risk characterization
• Waste management and site
remediation
In each of these areas ORD is developing
an extensive intramural research program
and a complementary extramural program.

National Exposure Research Laboratory
Mission
The National Exposure Research Labora-
tory (NERL) performs research to reduce
causes of human and ecosystem exposures
to harmful components in air, water, food,
soil, sediment, and waste. The laboratory's
goal is to provide exposure methods that
represent state-of-the-art science. NERL sci-
entists and engineers develop methods to
predict human and ecosystem exposures to
microbes, chemicals, and effects of physi-
cal disturbances. NERL characterizes
mechanisms by which contaminants are
transformed in the environment and de-
velops mathematical expressions that de-
scribe these mechanisms to predict
environmental concentrations. Included are
models to predict and evaluate causes of
exposures; methods to characterize stres-
sors to sensitive ecoregions and atmospheric
contaminant sources, transport, and flux;
procedures to assess regional vulnerabili-
ties resulting in human and ecosystem ex-
posures; and high performance computing
technology and algorithms to enhance vi-
sualization and modeling.
Research
With headquarters in Research Triangle
Park, NC, NERL has six divisions in four
locations: Athens, GA, Cincinnati, OH, Las
Vegas, NV, and Research Triangle Park,
NC. Personnel have expertise in biology,
chemistry, computer science, ecology, en-
gineering, environmental science, hydrol-
ogy, mathematics, microbiology, physics,
soil science, and statistics.
Researchers develop information to deter-
mine human and ecosystem exposure to det-
rimental environmental conditions. NERL
concerns range from determining exposure
of individuals to air contaminants to using
computing algorithms to predict exposure
of animals and plants to stressors. NERL
scientists and engineers develop and apply
technologies to enhance understanding of
the exposures resulting from interactions
of natural and anthropogenic activities.
Human Exposure
NERL conducts research on which drink-
ing water disinfection processes affect
formation of harmful chemicals. Biotech-
nologists generate methods based on DNA
hybridization probes and polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) technology. Other scientists
identify hazardous microorganisms. Re-
search improves our understanding of how
behavior and lifestyle affect human expo-
sure to contaminants.
NERL scientists develop methods to quan-
tify exposure to pesticides, toxic substances,
and pathogenic microbes. Characterization
of children's exposure is a concern because
exposure may do more harm to a child than
to an adult. Researchers evaluate exposures
of farm families to pesticides. NERL par-
ticipates in programs to study human expo-
sure to pollutants.
NERL scientists develop procedures to de-
termine the concentrations of particulate
matter. NERL develops models to improve
understanding of variability in particle char-
acteristics and resulting exposures. Scien-
tists study to develop methods to
characterize airborne fine particles to which
people are exposed, develop models to pro-
vide scientific knowledge required to de-
termine the impacts of current regulations,
and assess potential future environmental
management needs.
Ecosystem Exposure
NERL conducts research to determine
sources of stress to ecological resources.
NERL engineers develop models to relate
landscape composition and spatial relation-
ships to ecological condition and resource
sustainability. The goal is to develop an
approach to maintaining the health and
sustainability of ecological resources. NERL
efforts address questions such as the fol-
35
-------
National Exposure Research Laboratory (continued)
lowing: How are our land-use patterns af-
fecting continued habitation? What plant or
animal characteristics are indicative of cur-
rent or future problems? How do natural
weather patterns distribute pollutants and
affect exposure? How do we determine
which exposures are most important? Which
chemical, physical, and biological measure-
ments are most useful to define the condi-
tion of an ecological resource and predict
and prevent harmful exposures? At what
sites is monitoring needed and how often?
What are the biological and chemical pro-
cesses that affect toxic substances? What
visualization techniques do we need to con-
vey measurement and modeling results to
broad audiences in understandable ways?
NERL conducts assessments of climate im-
pacts on a region to rank various stressors
in relative importance. For example, in the
mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., NERL uses
technologies to assess effects of climatic
factors on ecological areas and the impacts
on issues such as water quality. NERL
engineers develop models to characterize
landscape exposures at watershed scales,
which is required to prevent impairment of
ecological processes.
Other research addresses community prob-
lems. NERL develops models to study
sources contributing to mercury exposure
and bioaccumulation in the Florida Ever-
glades and to predict the impacts of man-
agement and restoration strategies.
Human and Ecosystem
Exposure
Endocrine Disrupters—NERL develops
methods to measure contaminants that in-
terfere with the endocrine system. These
contaminants are called endocrine disrupt-
ing chemicals (EDCs). NERL characterizes
their distribution in ecosystems and identi-
fies the major environmental compartments
in which they accumulate. Scientists use
models to predict which chemicals are most
likely to be of concern for endocrine dis-
ruption. NERL develops methods to im-
prove approaches for predicting exposure.
Waste Site Characterization—NERL devel-
ops approaches to monitor pollutants and
to determine soil and aquifer properties that
may increase exposure to hazardous waste.
Scientists use studies to determine the effi-
cacy of processes to remediate land. NERL
investigates enzyme systems in vegetation
for their abilities to clean up sites. Engi-
neers develop models p describe processes
of chemical contaminants of concern. NERL
uses geophysical techniques to detect waste
discharges, locate waste disposal sites, iden-
tify erosion, assess air particulate problems,
and monitor pollutants in soils and ground
water.
Urban Toxics and Mobile Sources—NERL
conducts research to assess the extent of
exposures caused by toxic air pollutants in
urban environments. Scientists measure
emissions from motor vehicles and exam-
ine prototype vehicles and fuels to assess
the potential exposure of emerging vehicle
and alternative fuel technologies. Engineers
develop tools to respond to legislation re-
quiring characterization of residual expo-
sure risks.
Chemical Characterization Research—
NERL scientists provide data about chemi-
cal pollutant concentrations. The scientists
develop screening methods to detect and
measure chemical pollutants. Other charac-
terization problems require NERL scientists
to develop exposure assessment approaches.
Site Characterization Research in Support
of Hazardous Waste—Characterizing con-
taminants and contaminant plumes in the
subsurface/ground-water environment con-
tinues to be a complex aspect of Superfund
site characterization. NERL research fo-
cuses on the development of surface-based,
non-invasive geophysical technologies that
quantify pollutants and provide information
about subsurface hydrogeological and
geochemical structures and properties that
control pollutant distribution. Research in-
36
-------
National Exposure Research Laboratory (continued)
eludes models that provide exposure and
risk analysis, enable evaluation of the im-
pact of stressors from multiple sources, and
consider habitat loss and ecological and
human demographics. NERL researchers
study processes that affect organic pollut-
ants in the subsurface.
High Performance Computing and Commu-
nications—Because most exposure assess-
ment capabilities pertain to only one
environmental medium, NERL researchers
develop exposure assessment capabilities for
local communities and regional planners to
use when considering a range of local con-
trol options. The goal is to develop flexible
environmental modeling and decision-mak-
ing tools to support regional-scale multi-
media risk assessment and risk management
efforts. NERL systems analysts develop
databases and computer graphics for visu-
alization of information and computer out-
put.
Superfund Innovative Technology Evalua-
tion (SITE) Program—The SITE program
demonstrates and gathers information on
new, innovative technologies monitoring
subsurface pollutants under real field con-
ditions. SITE has demonstrated technolo-
gies that are used at Superfund sites today
and have contributed to faster and cheaper
cleanup.
Technical Support for Regulatory Pro-
grams—NERL scientists provide the infor-
mation to implement environmental
legislation and support statutorily mandated
research programs and partnerships. NERL
supports EPA's commitment to (1) multi-
agency research efforts coordinated through
the Committee on Earth and Natural Re-
sources, (2) an international cooperative
effort to ensure comparability of data gath-
ered by federal agencies to monitor UV flux
and stratospheric ozone concentrations, and
(3) the development of international stan-
dards for UV monitoring. NERL measures
fluxes of UV-B radiation at the earth's
surface and publishes a public information
index of potential exposure to UV-B. Other
global change studies include investigation
of farm production management systems
that hold carbon in the soil, thus reducing
the buildup of greenhouse gases, and char-
acterization of boreal forest and atmosphere
interactions that affect global buildup of
greenhouse gases. NERL scientists develop
analytical methods to determine compliance
with environmental regulations. To support
promulgated regulations, they provide qual-
ity assurance manuals and guidelines, qual-
ity control and performance evaluation
samples, and calibration standards and con-
duct audits of state certified radiochemistry
laboratories. To ensure that laboratories
using Agency methods are providing data
of acceptable quality, NERL designs and
conducts laboratory performance evaluation
studies. Researchers study the precision and
bias of the Agency's selected analytical
methods and evaluate the acceptability of
methods proposed for use in lieu of Agency-
approved methods.
NERL scientists and engineers provide re-
gional office personnel with monitoring and
site assessment expertise. NERL provides
help in sampling and monitoring design;
remote sensing, mapping, and geostatistics;
borehole and surface geophysics; field por-
table X-ray fluorescence field determina-
tions; and mixed waste and radiological
analyses. NERL aids in monitoring and
provides environmental assistance to the
Regions and Program Offices through sev-
eral support activities. The Center for Ex-
posure Assessment Modeling distributes and
supports a variety of exposure and fate
models for users throughout the world. The
Environmental Photographic Interpretation
Center provides remote sensing technical
support. The Technical Support Center pro-
vides analytical methods, quality assurance,
survey design and geostatistics, surface and
subsurface characterization, and sampling.

National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory
The National Health and Environmental
Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) is
the Agency's focal point for scientific re-
search on the effects of contaminants and
environmental stressors on human health
and ecosystem integrity. Its research helps
the Agency understand the processes that
cause pollution and evaluate the risks that
pollution poses to humans and ecosystems.
The impact of its efforts is felt beyond the
Agency as well, enabling state and local
governments to implement more effective
environmental programs, assisting the in-
dustrial section in setting and achieving
environmental goals, and informing inter-
national governments and organizations in
issues of environmental importance.
NHEERL's primary function is to conduct
research that supports the Agency's man-
date, which includes statutory obligations.
Its more singular role is to improve the
Agency's ability to assess health and eco-
logical risk by strengthening the scientific
basis for risk assessment. To fulfill its re-
sponsibilities, NHEERL maintains a fo-
cused, yet diversified, research program that
works to reduce the uncertainties inherent
in regulatory risk assessment. These uncer-
tainties range from fundamental scientific
questions, requiring the discipline of a sus-
tained research strategy, to Congressionally
mandated investigations, demanding imme-
diate response.
Accordingly, NHEERL addresses both
long-term and short term studies, combin-
ing elements of both basic and applied sci-
ences to provide many research capabilities.
NHEERL's long-term studies confront per-
sistent and difficult issues, such as global
climate change, or the relationship between
airborne particles and increased rates of
respiratory illness. Its short-term projects
are shaped by more pressing imperative;
for example, when complaints of illness co-
incided with the use of oxygenated gaso-
line in certain regions of the country,
NHEERL quickly initiated studies of a fuel
additive suspected of causing the adverse
effects. Coordination of these capabilities
enables NHEERL to respond in a timely
and comprehensive manner to divergent
Agency needs. NHEERL sustains a program
that offers skills in many areas while re-
taining flexibility to adapt to changing pri-
orities.
NHEERL has organized a cadre of nation-
ally and internationally recognized scien-
tific experts who pioneer solutions to
environmental problems, provide leadership
and guidance to the scientific community,
and lend technical advice in national and
international settings, often in crisis situa-
tions. On issues ranging from disaster re-
sponse, e.g., the Exxon Valdez oil spill, to
evaluations of health and ecological effects,
e.g., the toxicity of endocrine disrupters, to
risk assessment, e.g., the dioxin reassess-
ment, NHEERL scientists provide informa-
tion essential to decision making. To
augment its in-house efforts, NHEERL
administers an extramural program through
cooperative agreements, contracts, and in-
teragency agreements that draws on the
expertise of researchers in academia, indus-
try, and government organizations. These
efforts produce objective, reliable data that
provide the scientific foundation for the
Agency's risk assessments and assist in
resolving the most complex environmental
issues.
NHEERL's commitment to advance knowl-
edge surrounding the effects of contami-
nants and other stressors on human health
and ecosystem vitality stems from a clear
mission. The mission statement, described
below, embraces three goals. Pursuit of
these goals enables NHEERL to secure and
expand its position as a premier environ-
mental research institution.
NHEERL's mission is to perform high
quality, peer reviewed, effects-based re-
search that improves the Agency's ability
45
-------
National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory (continued)
to make decisions about health and eco-
logical risk; to improve leadership in the
area of environmental science; and to pro-
vide scientific and technical assistance at
local, state, regional, national, and interna-
tional levels.
NHEERL accomplishes its mission through
the integrated activity of nine research di-
visions, five of which focus on human
health issues and four of which focus on
ecological issues. The health divisions are
centrally located in Research Triangle Park,
NC, while the ecology divisions are strate-
gically situated in ecologically distinct geo-
graphic regions across the U.S. In addition
to the nine research divisions, NHEERL
also directs the Environmental Monitoring
and Assessment Program (EMAP). EMAP
activities cut across the ecology divisions
and include designing a comprehensive
environmental research and monitoring pro-
gram.
The following are examples of NHEERL
research:
• Ecosystem Health and Integrity: De-
veloped an innovative device for
characterizing and predicting the
entrainment of sediments. Demon-
strated nutrient inputs and cycling
with respect to nitrogen and phos-
phorus in the Chesapeake Bay and
selected tributaries.
• Microbial Ecology: Developed
method to estimate level of expres-
sion of merA gene in environments.
Developed monoclonal antibody
technique to help track organisms
that degrade trichloroethylene. Ad-
vanced knowledge of effects of mix-
tures of hazardous chemicals.
• Chemical Mixtures and Multiple
Stressors: Developed and evaluated
methods for measuring contaminants
in sediment interstitial water. Evalu-
ated the role of acid volatile sulfide
(AVS) in binding with metals in
sediments.
Risk Assessment: Developed method
for characterizing risk of tropo-
spheric ozone to regional vegetation
in the U.S. Characterized risk of
global climate change to forests and
forest production.
Hazard Assessment: Quantified and
related PAY-DNA adducts (biomark-
ers) in rodent tissue to tumorigenic
potential in terms of time course and
dose relationships. Synthesized and
chemically characterized DNA ad-
duct standards for alachlor herbicide.
Performed research to advance un-
derstanding and interpretation of
structure-activity relationship-based
approaches, bacterial mutation as-
says, in vitro mammalian assays, and
cytogenetic assays.
Dose Response Relationships: De-
veloped method using I8O to derive
data to assess species-dependent
dosimetry of ozone and trace the
product of its oxidant interaction
with biological material. Demon-
strated through mechanistic studies
that the difference in rat and human
sensitivity is due to clinical condi-
tions (exercise during sampling) and
that under similar conditions remark-
able homology of response exists
between humans and animals over a
range of concentrations and dura-
tions.
Biologically Based Dose Response
Models: Developed model that pre-
dicts the proportion of individuals
responding adversely to ozone ex-
posure as a function of ozone con-
centration and exposure duration.
Validated the immortalized human
airway epithelial cell line BEAS23
for use in studies of air pollutants.

National Health and Environmental Effects Research
Laboratory (continued)
Hazard Identification: Developed
animal models to evaluate chemicals
for their effects on cognitive func-
tion. Developed procedures for as-
sessing sensory function in studies
involving humans exposed to envi-
ronmental chemicals.
Endocrine Disruption: Developed
surgically induced model of en-
dometriosis in mice. Demonstrated
that metabolites of vinclozolin inhibit
binding of androgen to DNA re-
sponse elements. Characterized ex-
pression patterns for Ah receptor and
ARNT in human embryonic palate
shelves.

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

ments tested in EPA laboratories are being
considered for use by the Navy in ship-
board chillers.
Pollution Prevention and
Economic Analysis
Pollution prevention research at NRMRL
helps establish methods and tools to use in
pollution prevention technologies. NRMRL
scientists have produced over 24 industry-
specific and generic technology guides.
NRMRL engineers design software to al-
low other engineers to make process
changes that improve environmental per-
formance.
NRMRL researchers have completed case
study evaluations of innovative prevention
technologies for over 75 manufacturing
operations. Research is underway now to
evaluate other innovative approaches, and
develop and apply cost effectiveness meth-
ods and data.
Remediation of Contaminated
Media
NRMRL conducts research to demonstrate
methods for remediating contaminated haz-
ardous waste sites and leaking underground
storage tanks. Scientists are developing
models to assess fate, transport and trans-
formation rates, and mechanisms in unsat-
urated soil profiles and saturated zones.
In situ remediation technologies potentially
represent the most cost-effective, lowest risk
options for many sites. Scientists use field
studies in bioremediation to examine reme-
diation of nonaqueous phase liquids, reduc-
tive dechlorination of PCBs and other
chlorinated organics, soil bioventing of fuel
spills, and bioreduction of hexavalent chro-
mium in ground water. EPA holds many of
these demonstrations in collaboration with
Department of Defense installations.
NRMRL cooperates with Monsanto, Gen-
eral Electric, and DuPont in "lasagna tech-
nology." With this technology, the scientists
create layered zones for treatment of con-
taminants in situ. The process promises to
be more cost effective than traditional
methods and may enhance other in situ
methods. Field trials are underway.
The largest component of the remediation
research program is the Superfund Innova-
tive Technology Evaluation Program
(SITE). In this program, technology devel-
opers provide and operate their technolo-
gies at field sites, and EPA pays for an
intensive performance evaluation and re-
ports the results widely. Since the program
began in 1986, innovative technologies at
remediation sites have increased from 25%
to over 50% of the technologies selected.
A recent study of remediation costs at 17
sites where innovative technologies are
being used has shown that the use of SITE-
evaluated technologies has saved nearly
$360 million over conventional remediation
approaches.
NRMRL also conducts research on meth-
ods and technologies to treat contaminated
sediments. Dredged sediments are often
treated as hazardous waste materials; in-
place sediments are treated as part of eco-
system restoration technologies.
Ecosystem Protection and
Restoration
NRMRL conducts research to develop and
demonstrate approaches and technologies to
protect and, as appropriate, restore damaged
ecosystems. Watersheds are the geographi-
cal units chosen for study and priority risk
problems include contaminated sediments,
nonpoint source pollution from wet weather
flows in urban and mixed land use water-
sheds, and regional impacts from cumula-
tive stressors including climate change.
64
-------
National Risk Management Research Laboratory (continued)
NRMRL scientists and engineers are de-
veloping watershed best management prac-
tices, in situ sediment remediation
technologies, urban storm water manage-
ment approaches, and combined sewer over-
flow treatment and control systems. New
research has been initiated to develop meth-
ods to restore damaged ecosystems with
emphases on riparian zones and constructed
wetlands. Computer models and decision
support systems will be developed to assist
watershed managers and communities with
ecosystem management and restoration
projects.
Technology Transfer
A final NRMRL component is the dissemi-
nation of technical information. Informing
the regulated industry, regulatory and per-
mitting officials, and environmental con-
sultants about the latest advancements in
risk management approaches is vital to the
success of all of EPA's programs.
NRMRL produces technical and nontech-
nical publications, software products, and
technical meetings. Recent projects have
included brochures on bioremediation and
stratospheric ozone depletion; manuals on
water and wastewater treatment for small
communities and on recycling and reuse of
materials found on Superfund sites; and
technical meetings on combined and sani-
tary sewer overflows. These publications
can be ordered by phone (513-569-7562),
fax (513-569-7566), or modem (dial in 513-
569-7610). Additionally, the ORD Internet
Home Page (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/) and
the Technology Transfer Home Page
(http://www.epa.gov/ttbnrmrl/ceri.htm)
linked to the U.S. EPA Home Page
(http://www.epa.gov/) can now be accessed
to get the latest information about ORD and
NRMRL research products.
