OWNER'S MANUAL
These Constituency Profiles have been prepared for the Office of Public Awareness of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the Northwest Regional Foundation
of Spokane, Washington as an aide in communicating with the various organizations In
Region 10 which are affected by EPA activities. The views expressed herein, except those
attributed to individual organizations, are those of the preparer and do not necessarily
correspond to those of the EPA. This Owner's Manual is intended to be a guide for users of
these profiles. It will explain how the profiles were compiled, how they are organized,
and how they might be used.
HOW THEY WERE COMPILED
EPA requested that we develop profiles of organizations in nine constituency areas. These
areas are Agriculture, Business and Industry, Environment, Labor, Minorities, Public
Interest, Urban, Women, and Youth. Our first step in preparing these profiles was to
compile a list of the organizations in each constituency group in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington, the four states which comprise Region 10. In some cases, this was a
fairly easy task. For instance, the State Department of Agriculture in Washington had a
very complete list of the agricultural organizations in the state. This was generally
true in each of the states for Agriculture, Business and Industry, Labor, and Environment.
However, to the best of our knowledge, ours was the first attempt to assemble
comprehensive lists of Minority, Urban, Women, and Youth organizations in each of the
states. There has been no previous effort to compile any sort of list of Public Interest
groups in the Region.
As a result, there are probably gaps in some of the lists. For instance, in Washington,
we obtained lists of women's organizations from the Women's Resource Center in Spokane,
the Seattle Office of Women's Rights, and the U.S. Department of Labor in its Directory
for Reaching Minority and Women's Groups. Although we were told by several women's
organizations that these were the most complete lists available, it seems to us that they
can not contain all the Women's groups In the state. However, while we have inevitably
missed some organizations in each of the constituency groups, this effort provides a
starting point for any further expansion of the lists.
Once we had these lists in hand, we developed a questionnaire to be mailed to all the
organizations that we had identified in each of the states. It requested basic
information about each organization, such as phone number, contact person, number of
members, main focus, and how it communicates with its members. Additionally, the
questionnaire asked for information about the organization's environmental concerns. We
also asked for their environmental priorities, any issues on which they had taken
positions, a statement of EPA actions with which they agreed or disagreed, and which, If
-------
any, of EPA program areas they would like to receive Information about. A copy of the
questionnaire is attached.
We mailed out o total of 3400 questionnaires: 470 in Alaska, 680 in Idaho, 975 in Oregon,
and 1270 in Washington. A follow-up letter to all groups and phone calls to key
organizations brought in 548 responses for a total response rate of 15.9%. This breaks
down to 63 or 12.1% from Alaska, 139 or 20.1% from Idaho, 145 or 15.0% from Oregon, and
201 or 15.9% from Washington.
Once we had all the responses, we began to list them in the standard format of the
individual profiles. This includes the name of the organization, its address and contact
person, how It communicates with its members, organizational information, environmental
priorities, and those EPA program areas about which it would like to be informed. We have
also left space on the profiles for additional comments after "Further Contacts". In some
cases, we summarized responses to make them easier to read, but in all cases, we
maintained the original content and often quoted from the questionnaire directly.
Finally, we developed an introduction to each constituency group in each state. It was
created through "facts and figures" research, phone calls to key leaders in each
constituency group, and by summarizing the questionnaire responses.
HOW THE PROFILES ARE ORGANIZED
The profiles are divided into four volumes: one each for Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington. These four volumes are further divided Into nine separate sections, each
corresponding to one of the nine constituency groups. These sections are arranged
alphabetically, and each one contains:
1. An introduction to each constituency group which describes Its characteris-
tics, summarizes the environmental concerns of its members, and gives some ideas
about how EPA might go about improving communication with members of that group.
2. An alphabetical index of those organizations which responded to our question-
naire and the page within the section where their profiles can be found.
3. The "Profiles" themselves: the condensed and formated responses from each
organization.
4. A cross-reference of organizations from other constituency groups which also
consider themselves to be part of this group.
5. A mailing list of the organizations which were Identified in that consti-
tuency group.
-------
HOW TO USE THESE PROFILES
Included in these profiles are every organization that we could discover In the nine
constituency groups in each state, a total of nearly 3500. They range from the Portland
Urban Indian Council to Rural Alaska Community Action, and from the Spokane YWCA to the
Idaho Outdoor Association. As the comments of organizations which responded to our
questionnaire reveal, many organizations In Region 10 have little or no direct interest In
EPA and its activities. Their interests and those of the EPA simply do not coincide.
Additionally, many of these same organizations have no clear Idea of what EPA is and what
it does. EPA thus gets the blame or credit for activities of the U.S. Forest Service, the
various state departments of ecology, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the federal court
system. Thus, In order to improve communication with many organizations, EPA faces a
formidable task of educating them to its purposes and to a lesser extent those of other
state and federal agencies. While we have suggested in our introductions to several of
these constituencies that this may be the best way to improve communication, it remains up
to the EPA to determine If such an effort is justified.
As a starting point for communicating with organizations in Region 10, these profiles do
several things:
1. They identify who's out there. As we mentioned above, these profiles do not
contain every organization In the Region, but they do contain the most important ones and
are probably the most comprehensive such listing available. They enable EPA to know who
its constituents are. If an even more detailed listing of these constituents proves to be
desirable, these lists provide a point from which to begin a more detailed compilation.
2. They are a start at identifying which of these organizations are concerned about
the EPA and the environment. Those organizations which responded to our questionnaire are
the ones most likely to be interested in public hearings, changes In EPA regulations, or
entering into a dialogue on environmental protection. Furthermore, the profiles not only
report the main environmental concerns (whether or not they are EPA's responsibility) of
each organization and constituency group, they also Identify specifically which EPA
program areas they are interested In. This gives EPA an idea of who to approach about a
specific issue.
3. The profiles, finally, provide a format which can be expanded as more
organizations interested in EPA activities are Identified. Both at the end of each
individual profile, and at the end of each constituency group, room has been left for
additional comments and for the inclusion of additional organizations. Thus, these
profiles can grow to include the changing and growing list of organizations interested in
EPA.
-------
SUMMARY
These profiles were prepared as a tool for EPA to use in communicating with organizations
in Region 10. It is our belief that the first step in communicating with another is to
understand her/his perceptions and beliefs, to learn to see the world through her/his
eyes. These profiles attempt to do this by recording the perceptions of organizations
throughout the Region. Many of these viewpoints are critical of EPA and its activities. It
is not our Intent in preparing these profiles to endorse or validate this criticism — the
views expressed in the profiles of individual organizations are those of the organization
profiled and do not necessarily correspond to those of the preparer. Rather we have
sought to record these viewpoints accurately so that EPA can know which organizations or
constituency groups would like to see it be more active, which less active, and which
aren't at all sure what it does. These perceptions can thus inform any efforts EPA may
wish to make to improve communication with these organizations.
Further, in our introduction to each of the constituency groups, we have provided whatever
background seemed relevant to understanding the concerns and viewpoints of these
organizations. Additionally, each concludes with a recommendation about what EPA might do
to improve communication with this group. These opinions are our own and do not
necessarily reflect EPA thinking or future plans. We do hope, however, that these
suggestions and the information contained in these profiles will be useful to EPA in
whatever efforts it undertakes to communicate with the organizations which make up its
constituency in Region 10.

WASHINGTON AGRICULTURE
In Washington, we have Identified approximately 1'50 agricultural
organizations. Most of these are associations of growers or producers of a
specific product, such as the Washington Fruit Commission or the Columbia
Basin Wool Growers. These organizations operate either statewide or In a
specific region or locality where these producers are concentrated. In
addition to these grower's organizations there are groups, such as the
Washington State Grange or the Wenatchee Valley Traffic Association, which
seek to represent all the agriculturalists In the state or a region. This
introduction to the Washington Agriculture Constituency provides an overview
of the State's most important agricultural activities and the environmental
concerns of its producers and processors.
In 1979, Washington agricultural production increased by 8% to a record $2.4
billion, while the food processing industry grossed an additional $4.1
billion. Although 80% of this value Is produced in Eastern Washington,
agriculture is an important factor in the economy in all sections of the
state. Field crops, wheat, hay, and potatoes, which are grown mostly east of
the Cascades, make up the largest portion of this amount. Other important
crops In the eastern part of the state are barley, oats, apples, cherries,
pears, peaches, and apricots. The raising of livestock, both sheep and
cattle, is also important east of the Cascades. On the western side of the
mountains, the major agricultural products are vegetables, flower bulbs,
berries, and dairy products.
The major issues confronting Washington agriculture in the 1980's are those
common to all sections of society and include: energy availability and
price, inflation and the cost of credit, and the impact of governmental
regulations on business practices. For agriculturalists, however, these
problems have special meaning. Rising energy costs
directly impact the cost for plowing, planting and
harvesting, and also Increase the cost of transporting
farm products to markets. Inflation and high interest
rates also have a strong Impact on agriculture because
of the need for substantial capital investment in farm
machinery.
These economic pressures add up to a demand for
maximum possible production per acre. It is not
surprising therefore, that the issue of most concern
to the agricultural associations surveyed is the . . .
problem of federal regulations which seem to restrict Agriculture
A-l

their ability to produce a maximum yield. Chief among these regulations are
those concerned with the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. Farmers
point out that the agricultural strength of this nation has been built only
because of technological progress, including the use of chemicals, which
enable the farmer to achieve higher yields. Farmers, therefore, typically
express their environmental concerns as "working to maintain a reasonable
balance between the needs of environmental controls and practical needs of
producing our crops."
Agriculturalists seem to be one of the best informed constituency groups.
Almost every questionnaire returned indicated a thorough familiarity with
regulations, processes, and actions which impact farmers. As indicated
above the majority of agriculturalists are concerned about the need for
balance, and, in fact, see themselves as the earliest environmentalists.
They therefore resent being placed in an adversary role, and often feel they
are cast as the "bad guys." However, most expressed or implied a willingness
to work with EPA and other regulatory officials even though they feel that
the importance of maintaining cost controls in high yield agriculture is
seriously underrated.
Given the knowledge most members of the' agriculture constituency already have
of the EPA, EPA's challenge in improving communications with them won't be so
much in communicating information to them but rather in establishing a
dialogue with them. As noted above, most of them expressed a willingness to
engage in such a dialogue and would probably respond to EPA overtures in this
direction.
What follows is an alphabetical index of those organizations that responded
to our questionnaire. It is followed, in turn, by the profiles themselves.

"Washington State Beekeepers' Association has a membership of 210 regular
members and 250 associate members. These are Individuals who have anywhere
from 1 to 10,000 colonies of honey bees, both part time and full time
beekeeper." There are 12 separate chapters in the state.
"Our members are all concerned about our environment, however, pesticide
misuse and abuse which kills our bees is the number one problem of beekeepers
In Washington State..." "We would like to see Pennwalt Corporation product,
Penncap-M (which Is encapsulated methyl paratrlon) taken off the market — it
not only kills adult bees in the field, but the adults also collect pollen
contaminated with the microcapsules. This is fed to the brood thus killing
them too. We are also against any other encapsulated pesticides being
approved and put on the market. We are for EPA gaining a better control on
making sure pesticides are used according to label — thus preventing most
bee kills. We are encouraged by EPA's recent efforts to gain more data on
bee kills from pesticides. 'Solicitation of the Beekeeping Industry for
Cooperation in the Reporting of Pesticide Involvement in Bee Kills' and
'Outline of Protocol for the Reporting, Sampling and
Investigation of Pesticide Incidents Resulting in
Honeybee Kills' are two big steps forward for EPA.
We, of course, disagreed with the approval of Penncap-
M and regret that this product Is on the market, not
only because it kills bees but because too little Is
known about what else it is doing to the environment.

Proceeding to each member
The Association has 3,000 member fanners and is active regionally.
The Association is "working to maintain a reasonable balance between the
needs of Environmental Controls and the practical needs of producing our
crops. We are working closely with the State and National Legislatures and
often make statements to EPA and other Agencies on proposed regulations. Our
latest was to enter strong protests to EPA and FAA on the proposals of
"Friends of the Earth" to so severely restrict aerial and ground spraying
that it would have been impossible to farm a million acres of good
agricultural land. We believe EPA Is now more reasonable In weighing in the
economic Impact before issuing regulations. We believe EPA must speed up
the process of registering and re-registering agricultural chemicals. We
believe the RPAR process is unnecessarily burdensome. Agriculture Is facing
a shortage of necessary new materials because the process leading to
registration is too costly."

Robert P. Matthews, President
Periodic Mailing upon need
"We represent private associations of the farm and forestry interests and
allied service industries in Washington State. Our constituents represent
the owners of more than 11,000,000 acres of agricultural and forest land."
The Alliance wants to assure that food and fibre needs can be achieved
economically. They have taken positions defending the safe use of pesticides
and have been involved in the herbicide controversy. They agreed with EPA
that 2,4,5-T should be RPARed in order to clear the air on that controversial
herbicide and that there was insufficient evidence to warrent RPAR of 2,4-D.
They disagreed with what they see as EPA's poor work associated with the
Alsea studies in Oregon, with the emergency suspension of 2,4,5-T, and EPA's
failure to renew forestry spraying while other uses continue after Alsea
studies were soundly rejected by the scientific community.

The Association wants to maintain and enhance the environment for the

Association has not taken positions on environmental issues, it agreed with
EPA in the areas of PCB control, industrial emission control, and
environmental impact legislation. It disagreed with EPA in Its conflict with
the Department of Labor on pesticide evaluation and about herbicide control
of forest lands which plays into the hands of "undesirable interests" and
cuts productivity due to the cost and technique of control.

WASHINGTON BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We have identified more than 200 organizations in the Business and Industry
Constituency group in Washington. These are not Individual companies, but
rather organizations of several or more businesses and industries. Some,
such as the Association of Washington Business, the various Chambers of
Commerce, and other groups have a broad focus. Others, such as the Northwest
Pulp and Paper Association, the Asphalt Paving Association of Washington, or
the Western Oil and Gas Association, focus on a specific business or indus-
try. This introduction to the Business and Industry Constituency in
Washington will summarize the major industries of the state, their geographic
concentration, major concerns and interests, and their environmental priori-
ties.
Major industries in the State of Washington include aerospace, lumber and
other forest products, primary metals (particularly aluminum), and tourism.
The aerospace and forest products industries were equally responsible for 48%
of Washington's gross manufacturing Income in 1979. Most of Washington's
manufacturing is clustered in the Central Puget Sound area where 60% of the
states manufacturing employees, including those of Boeing (the state's lar-
gest employer) work. General wholesale and retail trade are distributed in
approximately the same proportions as the population (almost 70% live in the
"Western Corridor", along the coast west of the Cascades).
Representatives of Business and Industry are in general agreement that a list
of the major Issues confronting them today would have to include inflation,
energy costs, and the expense involved in complying with a multitude of
governmental regulations. They stress the fact that these issues have a
particularly strong impact on small businesses whic-h can least afford any
added costs of operation. A major concern to
businesses of all sizes is any political activity
which impacts the general economy and/or their basic
cost of doing business. For this reason, many of the
major businesses in the state and some of their
associations have full-time lobbyists in the state
legislature. In addition, many of these same
businesses and associations are involved in the
political process in Washington and strongly support
those candidates who express an awareness of and
concern for their interests. Of the other
constituency groups, only labor and agriculture come
close to the degree of Involvement, knowledge, and
-------

activity, that business and industry exhibit in governmental activities.
While business is often cast as the "bad guy" in the environmental protection
conflict, statements by business leaders do not bear this out. The Gray's
Harbor Chamber of Commerce, for instance, comments that the biggest
environmental problem is "balancing environmental concerns with the need to
sustain and create jobs", while the Longview Chamber of Commerce echoes that
viewpoint in their statement that the "Chamber is committed to cleaning up
the environment and to insure that environmental concern is balanced with the
necessity of economic growth to provide jobs." Most business leaders feel
that their needs and interests are not taken into account by the EPA in
formulating its regulations. For instance, the Inland Empire Electrical
League says "our main concern with EPA is that the agency does not seem to
take into account the tremendous costs of their fiats. It would appear that
EPA has a low opinion of the ability of others to make sound decisions In
regard to environmental issues."
Specific environmental concerns of the Business and Industry Constituency are
directly related to the positions stated above and to the resource needs of
the particular industry. For example, any business active in the forest
products Industry is concerned about access to timber on public lands and the
cost of such access. The aluminum industry has been concerned and actively
involved in state legislation regarding solid waste disposal (aluminum
recycling). That same industry's need for abundant electrical energy at a
reasonable cost, has prompted their attention to regulations aimed at the
water resources of this state. To the extent that EPA regulations impact
their ability to do business, members of this constituency group oppose the
development of these regulations. Their primary concern is that their
interests be recognized in the development of regulations which affect them.
Organizations which represent large segments of the Business and Industry
Constituency Include the Chambers of Commerce, the Association of Washington
Business, and the various organizations which represent the major Industries
(for example, the Northwest Pulp and Paper Association). In general,
however, the greatest problem in Improving communications with this constit-
uency is no't how. to contact or Inform these groups, since they are on the
whole already quite knowledgeable about environmental Issues and actively
involved in them. The greater need appears to be the creation of a relation-
ship in which there is a feeling that all sides of an issue are heard and
carefully considered before a decision Is made.
What follows Is an alphabetical Index of organizations which responded to our
questionnaire. It is followed, in turn, by the profiles themselves.

Because of the nature of their business, Association members are primarily

appropriations bill, and opposing FmHA recession proposal by Carter. They
have agreed with EPA actions "endorsing the delegation of authority to the
state, increased sensitivity to contractors plight In conforming with WMBE
percentages, and encouraging triad participation between minorities, prime
contractors, and agency communicators." They have disagreed with EPA's
"attempts to override state priority systems" and the "headquarters decision"
to inequitably distribute the play-out of Carter's frozen funds to states who
are on schedule with the result that states that have expended their funds

Dr. Terry Whitworth
regular mailings
The Association .has about 65 members which are small businesses in Washington
performing structural pest control. The Association is active at a statewide
level.
Their primary concern is that "we don't lose sight of the fact that free
enterprise is the backbone of a health economy. If government interference
continues to grow, our economy will suffer." The Association deals primarily
with State Department of Agriculture and EPA regulations. They agreed with
EPA's efforts "to force chemical manufacturers to clean up their dumping
practices." However, they disagreed with EPA's cancellation of 2,4,5-T,
suspension of chordane, and cancellation of DDT.

WASHINGTON ENVIRONMENT
The State of Washington includes within its boundaries three national parks,
nine national forests, more than 100 state parks, and over 2,000 miles of
marked hiking trails. More than 36 million people visited these preserved
natural environments in 1977, and the outdoor recreation/tourist Industry is
one of the most rapidly growing industries in the Pacific Northwest. The
state has an extraordinary variety of climates and terrains, including
coastal shores and Islands, alpine lakes In volcanic mountain formations,
river estuaries and flood plains, and dry, hilly deserts. The area Is part
of that last section of the continental United States to be explored, and
consequently much of it is still relatively undeveloped and sparsely popu-
lated.
Given the diversity and quality of the environment, It Is not surprising that
we have been able to Identify more than 100 groups which, broadly speaking,
are dedicated to environmental protection and the preservation of various
sections of the state. The specific concerns of these environmental groups
range from the protection of a small neighborhood park, lake, or other
"natural" area, to the regulations affecting use of national parks and for-
ests, and from opposing nuclear power to restricting the use of pesticides.
The information below describes the environmental constituency, their con-
cerns, and the ways in which they and their concerns relate to other groups
in the state.
The groups identified In our survey range from the 25 member Tacoma group,
Save Our Shorelines (SOS), to the 3500 member Seattle Audubon Society, which
Is one branch of a national organization. Most of these organizations have
Individual memberships, although some are coalitions of groups, and a few are
officially appointed membership committees, such as
the Ecology Commission of Richland. Most have a broad
focus regarding environmental protection although a
few of the groups, such as the Friends of Discovery
Park, the Lake Hicks Improvement Committee In Seattle,
and No Ollport, Inc. in Port Angeles, are focused on
quite specific geographical areas or Issues. The
methods used to reach similar goals also vary: a
number of the groups follow state and local
legislation closely and concentrate their efforts on
influencing the regulatory actions on behalf of
environmental preservation. The Nature Conservatory, Environment
on the other hand, does try to Influence legislation, ^ .
-------
but its main thrust is the direct acquisition of property to maintain it in a
natural state. This group shares with most of these organizations the goal
of defending "species, ecosystems, and habitats...(which are) most rare or
threatened."
Specific environmental concerns which were mentioned by these groups include:
damage to wilderness areas by logging, livestock grazing, and other commer-
cial activities; the effects on wildlife habitat when previously closed
(roadless) wilderness areas are opened by the addition of logging roads or
other access; and the effects on wildlife habitat, including those of fish,
when rivers are dammed or otherwise altered.
Many of these organizations can count some major successes in past actions to
preserve Washington's natural areas. However, one of their most pressing
current concerns is that immediate economic pressures will cause decision-
makers to lean toward development of previously preserved areas.
Almost every one of these organizations are, not surprisingly, very well
informed about recent and pending EPA activities. They are generally suppor-
tive of EPA, except where they feel that too much has been lost in an effort
to "compromise" with economic considerations. There is a sharp contrast here
with the representatives of the Business and Industry Constituency who gener-
ally call for "reasonable" environmental protection AND economic growth. The
representatives of environmental groups might argue that any "compromise"
will cause the lose of a unique ecosystem to all future generations.
In contrast to most of the other constituency groups, maintaining contact
with environmental groups is not a major problem since most of them consider
it in their best interests to stay informed about proposed and pending EPA
activities. Furthermore, though some organizations will argue that EPA does
not go far enough in its protection efforts, virtually all are supportive of
EPA's existence and activities. Perhaps the greatest communication need of
this constituency is the need for a better dialogue between these groups and
other groups who have previously assumed an adversary relationship with
"those environmentalists".
What follows is an alphabetical Index of those environmental organizations
which responded to our questionnaire. It is followed by the profiles
themselves.

favor of inspection and maintenance of automobiles, of maintaining a stricter
ozone standard than the federal one, and of increasing the fine for air
pollution violations. It has agreed with EPA's action in "Issuing notice of
violation to ASARCO smelter In Tacoma," in "requiring inspection/maintenance
programs in states receiving extensions on meeting air quality standards,"
and in "requiring public participation in air pollution programs." They have
disagreed with EPA's "relaxation of ambient standards for ozone"1 their
"removal of local regulations from SIP," and their "failure to set an arsenic
standard."

The Chapter's prime concern is to preserve a quality habitat for fish and
wildlife. The group has taken positions on Protection Island and on the
Washington Bottle Bill. They agreed with EPA's taking over 404 enforcement
from the Corps of Engineers but can't think of other actions with which they
have agreed. They have disagreed with EPA's giving Washington State
officials control over "deadly pesticides such as 1080," funding/building
sewage plants "in wetlands e.g. Washougal," and funding of the Vancouver Lake
Reclamation, a project which is "destructive to fish and wildlife habitat and
will not clean up the lake or provide water contact sports."

Audubon Magazine (national magazine)
This is a local chapter of the National Audubon Society. "The Yakima Valley
Audubon Society has a membership of 265 people. It Includes both men and
women, most of whom are fairly mature in age. Included are both urban and
rural dwellers. Most of them are directly interested in wildlife especially
birds, native plants and trees, care of the environment, wilderness and
preservation of agricultural lands." It is active on a state and local
level. (see also Seattle, Olympic Peninsula, and Vancouver Chapters).
The primary environmental concerns of its members are protection of the
environment from unwise development or abuse, protection of wildlife,
preservation of endangered species of both wildlife and plantlife,
desighation of appropriate areas of wilderness, and the protection of
agricultural lands from unwise development. This chapter has taken positions
for the designation of a cougar Lake Wilderness, a Juniper Forest Wilderness,
and a wildlife sanctuary for McNeil Island, endorsing a Yakima River Greenway
Park in Yakima County, and approving a bird sanctuary on Protection Island
near Port Angeles. They have agreed with EPA's emission controls on
automobiles and Industries, their improved quality
controls on rivers and lakes, and their research on
air purity. They are not well informed on EPA.
However, they "believe that a deliberate and
purposeful effort should be made to conserve energy,
and that it should receive strenuous effort by EPA

The Association has about twenty members and is active locally.
The Association has been in existence for 10 years and has primarily been
concerned with public education on environmental issues. For the past three
years, its members have run a recycling center which has taken most of their
time. They generally approve of EPA activities. They are concerned however,
that EPA puts too much emphasis on disposal methods and not enough on
alternatives of reuse and recovery especially through low technology
recycling.

CEQ's environmental priorities are strong citizen input and participation in
decisions that effect their health and welfare, Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) as a way of dealing with pests on a national level, hazardous waste
disposal, wild and scenic rivers, forest management planning, and air and
water quality. "CEQ has taken the position that we are against the use of
herbicides as a means of vegetation management by the USFS in North Idaho."
CEQ also actively supported the Idaho Department of Agriculture's noxious
weed IPM plan and intervened in air quality hearings on behalf of Idaho
Health and Welfare. The CEQ agreed with EPA's suspension of 2,4,5-T and
Silvex, the preparation of a public participation policy, and the help EPA
has given CEQ in understanding what is going on within EPA. They have
disagreed with EPA for Its discontinuation of the toll free number for public
use (they have found it difficult to get hold of individuals In EPA), their
position on 2,4-D, their failure to conduct or fund public education programs
on pesticide laws, and the cover up of the fact that
2,4-D was used with Silvex in the Alsea Basin.

financed alterations intended for private gain, and to restore that part of
the natural treasury which has been lost or destroyed..." The group has
adopted a detailed set of guidelines by which it will measure its efforts to
preserve and protect the River.
The Compact has taken "positions in support of water requirements for fish
and wildlife in the Columbia River and Tributaries; specifically PNW Regional
Energy Bill and the- Columbia River Institute Flow regulations of the
Washington State Department of Ecology; opposed transmission line to cross a
wildlife refuge; endorsed Wild River designation for the Hanford Reach of the
Columbia River; and other similar action." To date, the Board of Directors
has not taken positions with respect; to EPA actions.

This organization is dedicated to maintaining Discovery Park as a natural
area in the City of Seattle. It has 600 members and is active locally.
Friends of Discovery Park is primarily concerned with the preservation of the
Park as a natural area of beaches, sea cliffs, sand dunes, meadows, and
woods. They have taken numerous positions in support of that concern. For
instance, they have opposed a golf course in the Park, opposed the
construction of a sports stadium and a restaurant in or near the park, helped
the City obtain .Coast Guard land as an addition to the Park, and currently
support the demolition of an old army barracks in the Park and the return of
the land to Its natural state. They have agreed with EPA's ban of certain
pesticides, with Its "half-hearted" efforts to reduce auto pollution, and its
"tardy" efforts to control toxics in waste water. They have disagreed with
EPA's low level of fines on polluters, with the high noise level standards
that have been established, and with the regulations established for
administering Secondary Treatment Movers.

This is one of 25 chapters of the Northwest Steelhead and Salmon Council in
Washington. It has 200 members and is active on local, state, and regional

Grays Harbor Channel Deepening Project, Quigg Brothers McDonald Chehalis
Dredging Project, Indian net fishing for steelhead trout, the discharge
permits for twin nuclear plants at Satsop. They do not know of any EPA
actions with which they agreed. They disagreed with the EPA for allowing
construction of Wynoochee Dam, for not trying to stop the proposed Grays
Harbor Channel Deepening Project, and for not opposing Quigg Brothers
McDonald Chehalis Dredging Project. They are also concerned about "a serious
water quality problem in the lower Chehalis River or Grays Harbor Estuary.
There has been over the years a high mortality rate of downstream migrating
salmon and steelhead trout. Over the years we have been unable to get any
action from any state or federal agency to test or find remedies for the
'Pollution Block'."

newsletter; regular meetings
This organization has about 60 members from a variety of backgrounds and is

The prime concern of this organization is the contamination of streams and
rivers, including drinking water sources, with chemicals. It has taken
positions objecting to Forest Service and Department of Natural'Resources
slash burning during an inversion In 1979, instances of chemical trespass by
ITT, and reported school spraying with Karlan and resulting illness of
teachers and students. Its members agreed with EPA actions in sampling deer
and elk fat and mother's milk for dloxln testing, the suspension of 2,4,5-T
and silvex, recall for further testing of other chemicals, and the ban of
PCBs for widespread use. They disagreed with EPA for accepting chemicals for
registration without in-depth study of test results, registering chemical
combinations with too loosely delineated use directions on labels,
insufficient investigation of reports of misuse, and the lack of funding for
environmental groups willing to assist EPA in carrying out studies.

This group has 25 members and Is active locally.
The goals of Save Our Shorelines are to ''prevent development of shorelines"
and to "preserve shorelines for public use." Its members have taken positions
opposing the changing of Tacoma's Shoreline Master Plan because "It would
have allowed multiple family dwellings, overpler parking, hotels, motels, and
It would have deleted the conditional use permit requirement for water
dependent structures." They have also worked to have Asarco Smelter clean up
the air. The group agrees with EPA's "building of (a) fishing pier on Ruston
Way in Tacoma" and its efforts to "regulate air quality in ASARCO."

WASHINGTON LABOR
Two hundred labor organizations In Washington State have been Included in
this constituency group. This Is by no means a total list of every local
union In the state. Instead, this list Includes the statewide unions,
central labor councils, trade unions, and the major locals In the cities of
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and the Trl-Cities. This Introduction to the Labor
Constituency in Washington will briefly examine the extent of unionization in
the State, the environmental concerns of these union, and difficulties in
communicating with them.
Washington is the nation's third most unionized state with 33.1% of its 1.3
million non-agricultural workers belong to a labor union. The construction
and manufacturing fields are the most heavily unionized although unions are
also strong in government, communications, and transportation. In 1979,
Washington's gross manufacturing income was 27.7 billion dollars, with forest
products and aerospace industry sharing equally in about 48% of the total.
Primary metal Industries, especially aluminum, account for about 10% of the
gross income. All these major industries have strong unions.
As might be expected, the labor unions that responded to our questionnaire
listed job-related problems as their prime environmental concerns. However,
these concerns divided the group into two categories: those unions that want
environmental regulations to help keep their workplaces safe and those who
are concerned that protecting the environment be balanced with the need to
protect jobs and maintain economic growth. Thus, the Communications Workers
of America, Local 9102 in Seattle, lists "health hazards at work" as their
prime concern, while the Port Angeles Central Labor Council wants to "protect
the environment and jobs", and the Northeastern Washington Northern Idaho
Building and Trades Council took a "positive stance on the Northern Tier
Pipeline", a project which would provide jobs for its
members.
However, what is perhaps most striking about the
organizations in this constituency group is their lack
of concern about environmental issues. Fully 30% of
those that responded to our questionnaires failed to
list any environmental concerns or issues on which
they had taken positions. Those that did respond
tended to list what might be called "global" concerns;
that is, those that focus on general overarching
issues such as air quality or safe workplaces without
any expressed knowledge of specific ways in which
-------
Labor
L-2
these goals might be achieved. Their concerns are those of people Interested
In environmental Issues In a general, detached way, but who don't see their
daily lives impacted.
This lack of specific knowledge carries directly over to their understanding
of EPA and its actions. Only two of the unions that responded to our ques-
tionnaire were able to list EPA actions with which they agreed or disagreed.
Only one union mentioned any past contact with EPA.
Thus, if EPA is to establish better communications with the unions in
Washington, it must overcome two obstacles. First is the simple lack of
concern that the unions have about environmental issues. They will have to
be shown how EPA and the environment are important to them. The second
problem is dealing with the split in the constituency between those who want
to use environmental regulations to protect themselves at the workplace and
those who want to make sure that environmental regulations are balanced with
continued economic growth and jobs for their members. Careful consideration
will have to be given to exactly how to approach this constituency.
What follows is an alphabetical Index of those unions which responded to our
questionnaires and the profiles which contain their responses.

beachmen, and cannery workers. There is another local in Bellingham:
c/o Carl Roskela
203 W. Holly
Bellingham, WA 98225
Their chief concern is keeping the water clean and unpolluted. They worry
that chemical pollution of offshore areas will hurt the fishing industry.
They have taken positions, however, that favor the dumping of wastes from
canneries back into the ocean since they feel that it is beneficial for the
environment if there is good tidal flow.

WASHINGTON MINORITIES
We have identified approximately 100 organizations representing Native
Americans, Asian Americans, Blacks and Hlspanics, the four principle minority
groups in Washington. These four groups constitute 8.1% of Washington's
total population of 3,911,000 and are often lumped together as one
constituency. However, they can be understood more easily as four distinct
groups, each with its own organizations and concerns. This introduction to
the minority constituency in Washington will look at each group In turn,
their environmental priorities, and how they might best be reached.
Native Americans constitute 1.4% of the state's population. They are the
best organized and most environmentally concerned of these four minority
groups. There are 34 tribes in the state; 30 west of the Cascades and four,
including the Yakimas and Colvilles which are the two biggest, east of the
mountains. Economic development and environmental protection rank as the top
priorities for these tribes. For many of them, natural resources (either in
the form of fisheries, timbering, or, for the Colvilles, molybdenum) are
their chief economic asset, and they want to make sure that these assets are
used wisely. Native Americans can best be reached through the tribal
councils of the 34 tribes. One other organization, the Small Tribes of
Western Washington, represents 16 tribes west of the mountains and could
easily distribute information to them.
By official estimates Asian Americans constitute 1.8% of Washington's
population. However, most representatives of Asian-American organizations
believe that this figure is low and point to the fact that 18,000 Indo-
Chinese refugees have entered the state since 1979 and that this figure is
expected to be equalled again In 1981. Most Asian-Americans live in Seattle
and, to a lesser extent, in the state's other urban areas. Their concerns,
and especially those of the recent refugees, are those
typically associated with immigrant groups: employ-
ment, discrimination, access to education, and upward
mobility. Environmental issues are clearly secondary
to these other concerns. There is no one organization
that speaks for Asian-Americans in the state, and no
active network of those organizations that do exist.
There are approximately 88,300 Blacks in Washington
who make of 2.3% of the total population. They are
concentrated primarily in the cities of Seattle and
Tacoma with small pockets in Spokane and the Tri- AAlnnritloe
Cities. The attitudes of Blacks towards the WlinOtirieS

environment are quite diverse. However, low income Blacks are often so
concerned with the difficulties of economic survival that they do not have
the time or energy to be concerned about environmental issues. Problems such
as housing costs, employment, crime, and education far outweigh concerns
about environmental quality. Black organizations such as the NAACP and the
Urban League exist to help black deal with these immediate problems and, as a
result, are not much concerned with environmental issues — nor do they have
embers who are much concerned about the environment.
The largest minority group in Washington is people with Spanish surnames, who
constitute 2.4% of the state's population. They are scattered throughout
Washington with concentrations in the Seattle/King County area, the Yakima
Valley, and the Columbia River Basin. Like other minority groups, they
confront the problems of discrimination, unemployment, and poverty, which put
environmental concerns in the background. One environmental issue that is
important, however, is that of pesticide use. Many Hispanics work as migrant
laborers in fields where pesticides are sprayed, and there is some concern
among them about the health problems which may result from this exposure.
Fifteen minority organizations responded to our questionnaire. By far the
majority of these responses (9) came from Native American groups. They
listed the protection of fisheries and forestry resources as their prime
environmental concern and were generally agreed that they want economic
growth balanced with environmental protection. Of these nine respondents,
five had been in contact with the EPA and had felt that contact to be
positive.
Of the other six responses (3 Asian American, 2 Black, and 1 Hispanic), none
had any previous contact with the EPA. Furthermore, none of them have taken
positions on environmental issues and generally did not express any
environmental concerns.
In this constituency, the Native Americans seem to be easiest for EPA to
reach since they are actively concerned about protecting the natural
resources on their land and can be reached through a relatively small number
of tribal councils. Members of the other three minority groups seem to be
much, less interested in environmental issues and therefore would be more
difficult to reach. The possible exception to this might be Hispanic groups
that are concerned about the health impact of pesticide use.
What follows is an Index of those minority organizations that responded to
our questionnaires. It, in turn, Is followed by the profiles themselves.

WASHINGTON PUBLIC INTEREST
The Public Interest Constituency is the most diverse and hardest to define of
the nine constituency groups included in these profiles. We have taken the
term public interest literally and included in our list those organizations
whose activities seem to be for the benefit of the community at large, or
some portion thereof. In Washington, we have identified approximately 90
such organizations ranging from the American Red Cross to Planned Parenthood
and the Seattle Jaycees. Although this is by no means an exhaustive list of
public interest organizations in the state, we believe that it is a
compilation of the most Important ones and provides a valuable starting point
for reaching public interest groups in the state. This Introduction to the
Public Interest Constituency In Washington will look at the environmental
concerns of the groups in this constituency and how these groups can be
reached.
On the basis of their environmental concerns, knowledge, and attitudes
towards the EPA, these groups can be divided into two broad categories.
First, and by far the majority, are those for whom environmental concerns are
at most tangential to their main purposes. Typical of these organizations
would be such service groups as the Lions or Jaycees or those which serve a
particular constituency, like the American Association of Retired People or
the Cascade Bicycle Club. These organizations generally have little specific
knowledge about environmental issues or about the EPA and its actions.
Typically, they are unable to comment either positively or negatively about
EPA. Instead, they express their environmental concerns in very general
terms, like "watershed quality", or in relations to their own area of
interest as when Planned Parenthood of Spokane listed its environmental
concerns as "the effect of population growth on the environment." Usually
these groups have had little or no direct contact with the EPA.
The second broad category is composed of organizations
whose activities have brought them into contact with
the EPA or environmental issues. Although it is hard
to precisely differentiate these organizations from
those in the first category, they tend to be advocacy
groups, such as the Washington Public Interest
Research Group, the Citizens for Better Government, or
the TRICO Economic Development District. These
organizations are much more specific in their
environmental concerns and often have definite
opinions about EPA and Its activities. Wash PIRG, for Public Interest
instance, commented that "(Y)our agency is vitally
-------

P-2
needed. Make sure political pressures don't stop you from doing your
job...Don't let the West become an arid polluted desert." TRICO on the other
hand, states that "environmental concerns are extremely important to the
district. However, we do not support the unequivocal maintenance of pristine
areas within our three counties. This area is one of the poorest in the
state and controlled development is necessary."
If EPA intends to reach the members of this constituency group in a more
consistent way, it will need to approach the two sub-groups differently. For
the large group which is generally unaware of EPA activities, some work will
be needed to educate them about basic environmental issues. This outreach
could best be focused on helping them understand the connection between EPA's
environmental protection efforts and their own primary concerns. Thus, for
instance, information efforts could help farmworker groups understand the
connection between farmworkers' health and EPA rulings on pesticide use.
Both the advocacy and economic development groups in the second category are
much better informed about EPA and its activities. In addition,
organizations in this category often have well developed opinions on
environmental issues and will be vocal in stating these opinions. Here, EPA
can best communicate with them by providing them a chance to be heard and to
have their opinions taken into account.
What follows is an alphabetical index of those organizations that responded
to our questionnaire. It, in turn, is followed by the profiles themselves.

The organization does not take positions on environmental issues. However,
it does provide information for the public on the Environment under the
headings of Conservation, Pollution, Parks and Recreation, and Streets and
Highways. The staff has covered a number of pollution problems in particular
the Eurasian Milfoil problem. The person who filled out this questionnaire
agreed with action on the Eurasian Milfoil but was disappointed by the length
of time the decision took and worries that the solution is not entirely
adequate. Action Northwest is also following the asbestos questions and Is
concerned about formaldehyde fumes that result from glue and insulation.
Noise pollution is also a concern as they follow problems of the Lake Union
powerboat owners.

that affect treaty/sovereignty rights of Indian tribes in the Northwest. The
Committee has occasionally taken positions on environmental issues (it
opposes the Northern Tier Pipeline and is concerned about the impact on
fisheries of the Northwest Power Bill), but It is not familiar enough with
the EPA to comment on EPA actions with which it agreed or disagreed.

Overall Economic Development Plan (annual report)
This agency is In part an economic development corporation, a regional
planning agency, and a council of governments for Ferry, Stevens, and Pend
Oreille Counties in Northeastern Washington. Its Board of Directors Is
composed of two county commissioners from each county, 1 Port District
Commissioner, 1 PUD commissioner from each county, tribal representatives, 6
mayors or city council representatives, and 6 at large members. They are
active at both local and regional levels.
The agency believes that environmental considerations are extremely
important, but it does not support the unequivocal maintenance of pristine
areas in the three counties. The area is one of the poorest in the state and
they believe controlled development is necessary. In the past year they have
taken'the following positions on environmental issues: 1) opposed the
creation of wilderness areas within the district forests; 2) vigorously
supported comprehensive planning efforts; and 3) strongly supported the
location in the region of industries which meet environmental standards. The
District has supported EPA's allowance of variances on teepee burners in the
small mills in the area allowing them to continue
operations and keep hundreds at work. The District
has opposed EPA action which changed the priority
rating system on funding of sewer projects which
caused several needed projects in the area to be
reassigned on the priority list.

Wash PIRG has a large number of environmental concerns: nuclear issues,
toxic substances, oil in Puget Sound, Power Supply Systems, and safe
alternative energy. After completing research, It takes positions on these
Issues. Some positions have been: problem of Nuclear Waste at Hanford:
licensing of nuclear waste sites by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
safeguards in the transportation of nuclear waste, establishing a
decommissioning fund by all nuclear utilities; on Solar Energy: for the
passage of SHE 388, solar tax credit, solar building codes; better loans for
solar houses; Aluminum and Litter: for adjustable contracts, retrofit and
recycle. They have agreed with EPA's suit against Hooker Chemical In regards
to Love Canal and stopping plasticizers before they were manufactured. It
has disagreed with EPA over lack of action in enforcing emission standards
and toxic dumps, not taking a strong enough stand to protect the environment
from the Northern Tier Pipeline, and for not requiring an Environmental
Impact Statement by the Navy for high level nuclear
waste pit in Bremerton. Finally, Wash PIRG believes
that EPA Is vitally needed. It urges EPA not to
become an entrenched bureaucracy like OSHA and FTC and
to maintain a "fighting spirit" to prevent the West
from becoming an air, polluted desert or a New Jersey.

WASHINGTON URBAN
Seventy-five percent of Washington's population live in urban areas, while
seventy percent of the state's population live in the highly urbanized
"Western Corridor", the coastal strip west of the Ca-scade Mountains. We have
identified 250 organizations in these urban areas which are primarily
involved in a wide range of activities to develop maintain, and improve the
quality of life in their communities. What follows is an introduction to the
Urban Constituency in Washington, its characteristics, and its environmental
concerns.
In developing this list of urban organizations, we concentrated on the
state's major urban centers (Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane). Although this
misses organizations in the state's smaller urban areas, it provides a
comprehensive list of those groups in the major urban centers and could serve
as the basis for any expanded list. The groups in this list generally fall
into three broad categories. The largest is composed of local citizen
activist groups that have been organized to improve the quality of life in a
specific geographic area. Examples of these organizations would be the
Pioneer Square Association in Seattle or the Wapato Neighborhood Coalition in
Tacoma. Second are those organizations that primarily provide services to
specific neighborhoods - or communities. Neighborhood Centers and the
Community Action Agencies (which though sometimes In rural areas provide
services to a specific community) are typical of this category. The third
and smallest group is composed of organizations that do research on urban
problems and provide assistance to city governments.
About 10% of these organizations responded to our questionnaire. Most of
them focus their energy on a variety of issues aimed at the maintenance and
Improvement of an urban neighborhood or other identifiable geographic area.
They are usually small in size with about 15 to 100
members, only a portion of whom are actively involved
In the organization. Finally, they concentrate their
efforts almost exclusively at the neighborhood level
and are rarely involved on a broader level, except
where state or federal funds may be needed to assure
the success of a local project.
These groups indicate that they are quite concerned
about the urban environment and often are active in
specific land use, development and rehabilitation
projects. For the most part, they also indicated IJrbon
general support for environmental protection efforts. „ .
-------
However, these groups have little specific knowledge of traditional environ-
mental issues and are more concerned about issues which impact their
immediate community. Thus the environmental concerns most often expressed by
these organizations are such typically urban problems as air quality, noise
mass transit, and bike pathways.
Almost none of these groups reported that they have had any previous contact
with EPA or any knowledge of its activities. Thus, it seems that EPA's
irimary problem in improving communication with these groups is to make them
aware of environmental issues outside of their neighborhoods which may
impact them, and EPA's role in them.
Jhat follows is an alphabetical index of the organizations which responded to
our questionnaire. It in turn is followed by the profiles themselves.

Membership in the Council is open to any area resident willing to spend 10
hours a month working towards the goals of the Council. It is active on a
local level.
The Council's environmental priorities are to "maintain a human scale in
urban areas, protect neighborhoods, conserve affordable housing, promote
bicycle and mass transportation, provide recycling business." Its members
have taken positions endorsing Citizens for Returnable Beverage Containers,
Roof - Fair Rent Campaign, and Demolition Control Ordinance. They believe
that "the EPA needs to be able to put some teeth into environmental
protection. The profit-oriented organizations are becoming bolder and more
aggressive in assaulting even the pathetically minimal protection the public
still has, and winning at the expense of the public interest. This nonsense
should be nipped right in the bud. Right in the bud. You need to be able to
levy some stiff penalties on gross violations of the public interest, with
legal sanctions against the violators simply passing the burden on to
consumers. Those penalties can come out of the burs ting-to-overflowing
pockets of the moneygrubbers who make a scandalous amount of money and
threaten to utterly wreck our ecosystems."

It
The Committee Is concerned about dusty streets and sewers. It disagreed with
EPA's recommendation of idling and parking bans in downtown Spokane as well
as rules requiring accessories and alignement specifications on autos that
make them burn more gas, trading one form of pollution for another. It
believes "the only way to reduce emissions in downtown Spokane Is to make the
bus too attractive to pass up. Like:
1. Many satellite parking areas with very frequent bus loops to the
business district.
2. More busses on all routes.
3. New bus routes to service areas not now covered -like east-west
routes.
4. Eliminate all parking on downtown arterlals so traffic can get through
quicker.

WASHINGTON WOMEN
Of the many organizations in the State of Washington whose membership is
composed of women or which focus on women's issues, we have identified about
forty of the most prominent groups. This is by no means a complete list of
all women's organizations in the state, but it will provide EPA with a
starting point for any further communication. This introduction to the
Women's Constituency in Washington will look at the various types of women's
organizations In the state, their environmental concerns, and the difficul-
ties involved in communicating with them-
Women's organizations tend to fall into three main categories. First, there
are those that function primarily as professional associations; second those
that are involved in community activities, services, or politics; and third
those that have developed in the past ten years from the women's movement and
that are concerned with the status of women in society. While the purpose of
these organizations may vary, the characteristics of their members tends to
be quite similar. They are generally well educated, from middle to upper
class backgrounds, and are active members of their communities. Or, as the
Tacoma Pierce County Chapter of the League of Women Voters put it in their
response to our questionnaire, their members are "intelligent, middle class,
activist, persistent."
Despite the diversity of these organizations, they share a common lack of
knowledge abut EPA and its activities. Of the organizations which responded
to our questionnaire, only one could mention a specific EPA action with which
it agreed or disagreed. This lack of knowledge about the EPA does not,
however, correspond to a lack of interest in the environment or environmental
issues. The Spokane League of Women Voters, for instance, stated that "all
aspects of the environment, air, water, land use,
solid waste, shorelines, etc. are of concern to the
League. While the Fremont Women's Clinic listed
"preserving the earth, healthy environment for people,
concern for people's lives over business and
development" as their environmental priorities.
The EPA faces several difficulties in improving
communications with this constituency group. First,
there is the general lack of knowledge of EPA and its
activities which these organizations display. Second,
and more importantly, there is the fact that there is
no central organization which speaks for or is in
-------
contact with all members of this constituency group. While the Washington
Women's Commission is in contact with most of the women's rights
organizations in the state, it has only limited contact with the many service
and professional organizations also in this constituency group. Thus, while
EPA may be able to overcome this lack of knowledge that these groups have
about it through education and outreach, it will have a much more difficult
time reaching all the members of this constituency.
What follows is an index of those organizations in this constituency that
responded to our questionnaire. It, in turn, is followed by the profiles
themselves.

The organization has 500 members who are farmers or in industry related to
farming. It could also be considered a part of the agriculture constituency
group.
They are interested in all aspects of the environment since people in
agriculture make their living from the environment. They have worked on
numbers of environmental issues that relate to agriculture but were too
detailed to include on the questionnaire.

WASHINGTON YOUTH
We have identified 150 Youth Groups in the State of Washington. It should be
noted, however, that these groups are run hy adults for youth and
that, consequently, all the responses we received to our questionnaires were
from adult leaders. Thus, the opinions represented here are those of youth
leaders and not necessarily those of young people. This introduction to the
Youth Constituency in Washington will look at the different types of Youth
Organizations, their environmental concerns, and some thoughts on Improving
communications with them.
The groups we identified are quite varied but can be generally organized into
three main categories. First, there are those governmental and private
agencies which are primarily concerned with delinquent youth. Second are
social service and recreation programs for youth, sometimes with an emphasis
on low-income youth. Examples of these are the Boys Scouts, the Campflre
Girls, or the Eastside Youth Center of Spokane. Finally, there are family
recreation organizations such as the YMCA, YWCA, Salvation Army Youth Centers
etc. The number of youth represented by these various organizations is
uncertain, but in 1979 the total youth population (under 18) of Washington
was estimated at 1.1 million, or 24% of the total population.
The youth groups Involved In outdoor recreation (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts,
Campflre Girls, etc) are the most active and concerned about environmental
issues. Some of these groups indicated that they have been involved in
environmental preservation activities in their local areas. Several groups
have either periodic or on-going recycling activities, not only for fund-
raising, but also (according to the Peninsula Youth Program) because "one of
our basic goals with our recycling program is to
promote community awareness on...conservation,
recycling, and alternative energy." The Northwest
Youth Service Bureau has a grant pending for funds to
build a solar greenhouse. While the Mt. Rainier
Council of the Boy Scouts of America indicated that
their members have "helped in Swan Lake
enlargement...(and) wrote letter re (the) Federal Way
Swamp."
Although none of the groups surveyed was familiar with
specific EPA activities, and none had ever been in
contact with EPA, this constituency as a whole seems
-------
concerned about preservation of the natural environment and is generally
supportive of the basic purposes of the EPA. As shown above, a major concern
of these organizations is the quality of life for the youth in the state and
part of that quality of life is perceived as a quality environment.
The environmental concerns expressed by those groups responding to our ques-
tionnaire included, in addition to the activities mentioned above, recreation
areas, bike paths, and general quality of life problems (air and water quali-
ty, land use problems, etc.). However, these were expressed in vague and
general terms and did not include any mention of specific EPA activities.
It is this lack of specific knowledge about EPA and its activities that seems
to be the major block to improving communications between EPA and the members
of this constituency. Unfortunately, there is no central organization which
is in touch with all the youth groups that comprise this constituency .
Therefore, EPA is left with the difficult task of reaching these organiza-
tions individually. What might perhaps be more feasible would be to concen-
trate first on those organizations most concerned about the environment
rather than to try initially to reach all members of this group.
What follows is an alphabetical Index of those organizations which responded
to our questionnaire. It, in turn, is followed by the profiles themselves.
