FOREWORD
Environmental challenges abound as we move
forward in the decade of the eighties. The
highest level of scientific expertise is required
to meet these challenges and assure that EPA
regulations stand on a firm foundation of scientific
excellence. As I have promised, I will seek the
best advice I can obtain on how to deal with
the terribly complex problems EPA must confront.
I will seek help from scientists, environmentalists,
economists, industrialists and the general public.
A great deal of this expertise is available to us
through our advisory committee members, who bring
to committee deliberations a wealth of knowledge and
experience in the most diverse areas of scientific
inquiry.
Again and again we turn to the collective
wisdom of committee members in our search for
solutions to the diverse problems before us. From
acid rain to the dangerous chemicals in pesticides;
from maintaining safe drinking water standards to
controlling hazardous wastes and emergency spills;
from assessing health risks of toxic substances to
providing for municipal construction grants; such
are the multiple environmental challenges we face.
And there are parallel social and economic impacts
to be considered. We turn to advisory committee
members for their insights in these matters.
I thank the distinguished men and women of
the EPA advisory committees for their contribution
to the Agency's ongoing mission to protect public
health and the environment. They share importantly
in the demanding work involved. I count on their
continued assistance in the efforts ahead.

THE ADMINISTRATOR'S TOXIC SUBSTANCES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Administrator's Toxic Substances Advisory Committee (ATSAC) convened for
four public meetings in 1982: March 23rd, July 8th, September 9th, and November
16th. Formal Garments and recormiendations from the March and September meetings
were sent to the Administrator.
At the March 23rd session, the Committee endorsed the concept of the Agency's
negotiating with parties subject to particular TSCA Section 4 testing requirements
for mutually acceptable testing programs in lieu of the Agency's writing rules.
By the end of the year, the Administrator signed ten negotiated agreements.
Also at the March meeting the Comiittee expressed concerns about possible
exemptions from the TSCA Section 5 premanufacture notice (PMN) requirements.
For example, the ATSAC urged that information regarding new chemicals exempted
fron PMN requirements be made available to the public, subject to appropriate
confidentiality protections. Further, ATSAC suggested that substantiation for
any "qualified experts'" opinion on exemption eligibility be included in the
application for exemption. ATSAC's comments were considered during preparation
of two PMN exemption rules proposed in August.
In July of 1982, ATSAC began review of an upcoming reporting rule under
Section 8(c) of TSCA. ATSAC began by reviewing a revised concept paper about the
TSCA Section 8(c) rule which had been proposed in July 1980. The rule is meant
to implement recordkeeping requirements for companies receiving allegations about
adverse reactions to specific chemicals. In September the ATSAC heard comments
from the public about the concept paper and offered its own recomnendations. For
instance, regarding the form of allegations, the Committee recommended that language
be incorporated in the rule requiring the company to inform a person reporting a
reaction orally that the allegation must be written. Among other suggestions, the
ATSAC included the right of access to the company's records of an allegation be
guaranteed to the complainant or a representative of the complainant. Incorporating
several ATSAC ideas, the Office of Toxic Substances expects to publish the final
8(c) rule in mid 1983.
At the November meeting the ATSAC began work on the identification and
examination of issues related to the emerging biotechnology industry, a topic
which continued to be discussed at the March 18 and June 20, 1983 meetings. The
Committee heard briefings on the activities of the Office of Pesticides and Toxic
Substances connected with biotechnology and on the biotechnology research projects
funded by EPA's Office of Research and Development. Members of the audience
associated with companies doing biotechnology work also spoke. ATSAC developed
recommendations of the biotechnology question which will be delivered to the
Agency during the summer of 1983.

CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CASAC)
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
--CASAC authorized the formation of a subcommittee on health
risk assessment. This subcommittee will review the development
of potential application of models and techniques designed to
assess risk to human populations following exposure to ambient
pollutants such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide,
particulates, and sulfur dioxides.
—The Committee received preliminary copies of the draft
Critical Assessment Document for Acidic Deposition that is
being prepared by the Agency's Office of Research and
Development. The Committee authorized the recruitment of
additional consultants to assist in its review of this issue.
The document has been prepared at the specific request of
CASAC, and the Committee's formal review is now underway-
—CASAC recently completed a letter to the Administrator and
to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
regarding the Agency's research program for gases and particles.
It reviewed such issues as the Agency's definition of research
priorities and the research needs to support ambient standard
development. Among CASAC's recommendations were that (1) EPA's
research program assign a higher priority to aerosols and to
combinations of gases and particles; (2) EPA support more
extramural epidemiological research; (3) three broad areas
of research are needed to support standard setting: (a) modeling,
(b) assessment of agricultural losses from air pollutants,
and (c) effects of air pollution on timber and national
ecosystems.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND~TUNCTIO'NS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS
FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT
SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL
1. PURPOSE. This charter is issued for the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Scientific Advisory Panel in
accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, 5 U.S.C. (App. I) 9(c).
2. AUTHORITY. The former Panel was created on November 28, 1975,
pursuant to Section 25(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by Public Law 94-140, Public Law
95-396, and Public Law 96-539. In accordance with this statute, the
Panel terminated on September 30, 1981. However, EPA has determined
that the Panel is in the public interest, in connection with the
performance of duties imposed upon the agency by law. Therefore,
the Administrator has decided to exercise his authority under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act and pursuant to Section 21(b)
of FIFRA, and reestablish the Scientific Advisory Panel. Inasmuch
as the Panel will be performing the same functions as it had been
performing prior to the September 1981 expiration date, the makeup
of the Panel and all its activities will adhere to the requirements
of FIFRA Section 25(d) and (e).
3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY. The Panel will provide comments
as to the impact on health and the environment of the following
regulatory actions:
a. Notices of intent to cancel or reclassify registrations under
Section 6(b)(l) of FIFRA;
b. Notices of intent to hold a hearing to determine whether
or not to cancel or reclassify registrations under Section 6(b)(2)
of FIFRA:
c. Emergency orders immediately suspending registration of a
pesticide before notification of the registrants pursuant to Section
6(c)(2) of FIFRA, and
d. Regulations to be issued under Section 25(a) of FIFRA.
The Administrator shall also solicit from the Advisory Panel comments,
evaluations, and recommendations for operating guidelines to improve
the effectiveness and quality of scientific analyses made by personnel
of the Environmental Protection Agency that lead to decisions by the
Administrator.
-------
The comments, evaluations, and recommendations of the Advisory Panel
and the response of the Administrator shall be published in the
Federal Register.
The Administrator also may use the Advisory Panel to provide peer
review of major scientific studies.
4. FUNCTIONS. The fundamental purpose of FIFRA is to ensure that
pesticides do not cause "unreasonable adverse effects on the environ-
ment." The term "unreasonable adverse effects on the environment" is
defined in Section 2(bb) of FIFRA as "any unreasonable risk to man or
the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and
environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide."
Within the context of these provisions of FIFRA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (40 CFR Part 162), the Panel will be expected
to comment as to the impact on health and the environment of matters
arising under Section 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of FIFRA. Analyses
prepared by staff of the Environmental Protection Agency will be
provided for the Panel's consideration.
The Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, will initiate all
requests for comment by the Panel in accordance with the
following timetable: Notices of intent to cancel or change classi-
fication under Section 6(b) of FIFRA and proposed regulations
under Section 25(a) of FIFRA will be forwarded to the Panel at
least 60 days prior to their issuance to a registrant or publication
in the Federal Register. Final regulations will be forwarded to
the Panel at least 30 days in advance of publication. Whenever
the Administrator exercises authority under Section 6(c) of this
Act to immediately suspend the registration of any pesticide to
prevent an imminent hazard, the Administrator shall promptly submit
to the Advisory Panel action taken to suspend the registration of
such pesticide. In providing for peer review, the Administrator
also may use the Advisory Panel or appropriate experts appointed
from a current list of nominees maintained by the Panel.
The Panel's comments, if any, will be submitted in writing to the
Director, Office of Pesticide Programs. Such comments will be
published in the Federal Register, together with the Environmental
Protection Agency's response at the time that such notices of
intent or proposed or final rulemaking are published in the Federal
Register. In any particular case, the Panel may waive comment.
The Panel shall consult and coordinate its activities with the
Science Advisory Board established under the Environmental Research,
Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act of 1978.
10
-------
5. COMPOSITION. The Panel is composed of seven members, including
the Chairperson, selected and appointed by the Administrator from
twelve nominees — six nominated by the National Institutes of
Health and six by the National Science Foundation. Members are
scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including
training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments
as to the impact on health and the environment of regulatory actions
under Section 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of FIFRA. No person shall be
ineligible to serve on the Panel by reason of his membership on
any other advisory committees to a Federal department or agency or
his employment by a Federal department or agency (except the Environ-
mental Protection Agency). The Administrator appoints individuals
to serve on the Panel for staggered terms of two to four years.
Panel members are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 3,
Subpart F — Standards of Conduct for Special Government Employees,
which includes rules regarding conflicts of interest. An officer
and/or employee of an organization producing, selling, or dis-
tributing pesticides and any other person having a substantial
financial interest (as determined by the Administrator) in such
an organization, as well as an officer or employee of an organiza-
tion representing pesticide users shall be excluded from considera-
tion as a nominee for membership on the Panel. Each nominee
selected by the Administrator before being formally appointed is
required to submit a Confidential Statement of Employment and
Financial Interests, which shall fully disclose, prior to his or
her appointment, any outside sources of financial support.
The Administrator shall require all nominees to the Panel to furnish
information concerning their professional qualifications, including
information on their educational background, employment history,
and scientific publications.
The Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register the name,
address, and professional affiliations of each nominee.
The Chairperson of the Advisory Panel, after consultation with the
Administrator, may create temporary subpanels on specific projects
to assist the full Advisory Panel in expediting and preparing its
evaluations, comments, and recommendations. The subpanels will be
composed entirely of Panel members.
The estimated annual operating cost of the Panel will be approxi-
mately $100,000 which includes an allowance for 2.0 work-years of
staff support. The Office of Pesticide Programs provides the
necessary staff and support for the Panel.
6. MEETINGS. The Panel will meet either at the request of the
Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, or at the request of the
Chairperson with the concurrence of the Director, Office of
Pesticide Programs. Panel meetings will be called, announced,
and held in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's
11
-------
Manual on Committee Management. The Manual provides for open
meetings of advisory committees; requires that interested persons
be permitted to file written statements before or after meetings;
and provides for oral statements by interested persons to the
extent that time permits. Any such written or oral statements
will be taken into consideration by the Panel in formulating its
comments or in deciding whether to waive comment.
The Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, or his designee will
serve as Executive Secretary and will attend all meetings. Each
meeting of the Scientific Advisory Panel will be conducted in
accordance with an agenda approved in advance of the meeting by
the Executive Secretary. The Executive Secretary is authorized
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to adjourn any meeting of
the Scientific Advisory Panel whenever such adjournment is determined
to be in the public interest. The Panel may not conduct any meeting
in the absence of the Executive Secretary or the Executive Secretary's
designee.
It is anticipated that the Panel will conduct approximately four
formal meetings and two subcommittee meetings each year. To allow
adequate time for comprehensive review of topics, meetings will
usually last for at least two consecutive days.
7. DURATION. This Charter will be effective for one year following
the Congressional filing date or until reauthorized under FIFRA.
If not reauthorized by FIFRA the charter may be renewed in accordance
with section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
8. SUPERSESSION. The former charter of the FIFRA Scientific
Advisory Panel signed on November 2, 1979, is hereby superseded.

FIFRA SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The primary Congressional mandate to the Panel is to comment
as to the impact on health and the environment of action proposed
in notices of intent issued under Section 6(b) (cancellations and
changes in classification) and Section 25(a) (proposed and final
regulations) within the same time periods as provided for the
comments of the Secretary of Agriculture under such sections.
The Panel held a total of four meetings during the calendar
year 1981 to review a variety of regulatory initiatives on pesti-
cides. The Panel addressed the following topics: >
A. Regulations under Section 25(a) of FIFRA;
1. Informal Review of Draft on Proposed Pesticide
Registration Guidelines, Subpart K: Exposure Data
Requirements: Reentry Protection.
2. Proposed Rulemaking on Guidelines for Registering
Pesticides in the United States, Subpart H:
Labeling of Pesticide Products.
3. Final Rulemaking for Amendment of CFR 162.31 for
Classification of Certain Uses of Eleven Active
Ingredients for Restricted Use under the Procedures
of CFR 162.30.
B. Cancellations under Section 6(b)(2) of FIFRA;
1. Ethylene Dibromide (EDB).
2. Oxyfluorfen (GOAL 2E).
3. Pentachlorophenol, Inorganic Arsenicals, and
Creosote (Wood Preservatives).
Additionally, the Scientific Advisory Panel assisted the Agency
with a scientific review of issues of concern to public health.
An advisory opinion was given on the following topics:
1. Advisory Opinion on the Oncogenic Potential of
Permethrin.
2. Advisory Opinion on the Prediction and Evaluation
of Ground Water Contamination by Pesticides.
The former members of the Scientific Advisory Panel served as
consultants for the Agency in a public meeting on July 9-10, 1982,
in the final review of Pesticide Registration Guidelines. The
Panel had been working with the Agency and industry from the time
the Guidelines were in draft form and were anxious to see them
finally finished.
The Scientific Advisory Panel has been reestablished under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the first meeting will
be held June 21-23, 1983. Statutory reauthorization for the Panel
is expected from Congress during FY 1983.

riANAGEMENT ADVISORY GROUP TO THE CONSTRUCTION GRANTS PROGRAM
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The year 1982 was the beginning of a new phase of the EPA municipal
wastewater treatment construction grants program. In December 1981, the
Congress enacted legislative reforms for the program which had been
proposed by the Administration. These reforms included: (1) limiting
Federal aid in the future by reducing eligibilities, and (2) giving
increased impetus to delegating operating responsibility for the program
to the States.
MAG has provided advice on how to put the 1981 legislation into
effect. In January 1982, MAG prepared an extensive report on "Effects
of the New 1981 Amendments on the EPA Construction Grants Program."
This report was timely and effective in pointing the way to implementing
the new legislation.
The first report was followed by two additional reports in March
1982. These were on "Alternative Financing Methods for Wastewater
Treatment" and "Issues in the Proposed Reform Regulations." The
alternative financing report concerned how municipalities could obtain
funds from their own or non-Federal sources tor needed wastewater
treatment facilities, and the regulations reform report concerned issues
that needed to be resolved in the draft reform regulations for the
program, with recommendations for solutions.
A MAG Task Force visited the Municipal Environmental Research
Laboratory (MERL) at Cincinnati, Ohio in September 1982, and reviewed
the MERL program for research and development on municipal wastewater
treatment.
In January and March 1983, MAG issued four reports on current
issues:
1. Financial Capability of State and Local Governments to Fund
Wastewater Treatment Projects in the Future: Self-Financing
of Wastewater Treatment.
2. Compliance of Municipalities with Clean Water Act Amendments.
3. Sludge Management.
4. Management Advisory Group Briefing of the Municipal Wastewater
Treatment Program at the Municipal Environmental Research
Laboratory at Cincinnati.
MAG continues to be active in providing advice and guidance on
policies and operations of the construction grants program and
worthwhile results have been generated throughout 1982 and early 1983.

NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee (NAPCTAC)
meets periodically to assess progress in the development of new source
performance standards (NSPS) for stationary sources and national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The Committee also reviews
the development and publication of control techniques documents for specific
pollutants and control techniques guidelines for selected industries.
During 1981 NAPCTAC met five times to discuss performance standards for
the following: (1) arsenic from copper smelters, (2) metallic mineral processing
plants, (3) gypsum plants (4) coke wet-quenching operations, (5) volatile
organic compound fugitive emissions in the petroleum refining industry,
(6) synthetic fiber production facilities, (7) flexible vinyl coating and
printing industry, (8) basic oxygen process furnaces, (9) volatile organic
compound emissions from air oxidation units in the synthetic organic chemical
manufacturing industry, (10) sulfur dioxide emissions from fluid catalytic
cracking unit regenerators, (11) volatile organic compound emissions from
petroleum dry cleaners, and (12) benzene emissions from coke oven by-product
recovery plants.
Control techniques guidelines were reviewed for volatile organic compound
emissions from petroleum dry cleaners; liquid storage vessels; synthetic
organic chemical and polymer and resin manufacture; styrene-butadiene copolymers;
full-webb process color heatset web-offset lithographic printing plants;
high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene resins; and air
oxidation processes in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry
and for equipment leaks from natural gas/gasoline processing plants.
In 1982 the Committee reviewed proposed performance standards for fossil-
and nonfossil-fuel-fired industrial boilers, sulfur dioxide emissions from
on-shore natural gas production facilities, volatile organic compound fugitive
emissions from on-shore natural gas production industry, distillation operations
in synthetic organic chemical manufacturing, and particulate matter and
opacity of visible emissions from electric arc furnaces and argon-oxygen
decarburization vessels in the steel industry. The Committee also explored
the concept of "bubble" provisions in association with new source performance
standards, and reviewed the status of regulations for the control of hazardous
pollutants and progress in the review and revision of national ambient air
quality standards.
At its meeting in April of 1983, the Committee covered new source
performance standards for polymer manufacturing and wool fiberglass manufacturing;
reviews of existing standards for grain elevators, primary copper smelters, and
refinery sulfur plants; revisions for kraft pulp mill standards; and emission
standards for inorganic arsenic from copper smelting and glass manufacturing.
Consisting of eleven members with diverse backgrounds, NAPCTAC serves
both EPA and the public by providing a forum for the expression of different
viewpoints and the exchange of ideas through in-depth discussion of the
regulatory issues brought before the Committee for evaluation and comment.
During the period covered by this report, the Committee heard testimony from
173 speakers representing EPA, industry, environmental interests, other
governmental organizations, trade associations, and control equipment
manufacturers.

NATIONAL DRINKING WATER ADVISORY COUNCIL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Reauthorization of The Safe Drinking Water Act
At their March meeting, the Council considered Amendments to the Safe
Drinking Water Act ("SDWA) contained in two Congressional bills and public
comment called for by the EPA on its reauthorization. They presented their
recommendations to the Administrator as follows: (1) Provide more flexibility
in administering the public notification provisions; (2) Provide economic
variances and the merging of variances and exemptions into one variance process;
(3) Change the basis for standard setting from "may have any adverse effect" to
"regulating levels of exposure of contaminants which, in the judgement of the
Administrator, pose an unaccceptable risk." The language "unreasonable risk,"
which has been proposed, was not favored by the Council; and (4) Include
benefit/cost analysis. The Council also supported the following actions,
but did not feel statutory changes were needed to implement them: (1) A
three-tiered regulatory structure including strong support for health
advisories and (2) provide and increase advice on the recommended purity
and potential adverse health effects of additives to drinking water.
The Council did not favor: (1) Competing risk analysis; (2) Elimination
of EPA's treatment technology authority; (3) Cross-examination at public hearings;
(4) Changing the judicial test from "arbitrary and capricious" to "substantial
evidence"; (5) Changes to the NDWAC, which dictate operating rules to the Council;
and (6) The Moynihan Bill amending the Sole Source Aquifer program.
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs)
During their September meeting the NDWAC reviewed the data contained in
the Advance Notice and made recommendations to the Administrator on the direction
EPA should take within the authorities of the SDWA. The Council endorsed the
concept of the essentiality of prevention of contamination of drinking water
sources. They strongly encourage source protection and control as a means of
maintaining or improving the quality of finished water. The Council recommends
that regulations should be established for five of the VOCs found in drinking
water. They are: trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride,
1,2-dichloroethane and 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The Council felt that sufficient
data was not available for the other VOCs found in drinking water and suggested
that health advisory information be developed.
Fluoride
An emergency meeting was called in order to provide recommendations to the
Administrator on the Agency's response to the petition from the State of South
Carolina to revoke the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for fluoride
and place it instead in the Secondary Regulations. After reviewing the
evidence presented to them, the Council believes that adequate data exists
on which to base both a primary drinking water regulation for fluoride based
upon adverse health effects and a secondary regulation based upon cosmetic
effects of dental fluorosis. The Council unanimously recommended that the
primary maximum contaminant level be set at some level below 8 milligrams per
liter, the level at which osteosclerosis has been detected in some examples
in the scientific literature. The secondary maximum contaminant level was
recommended unanimously at 2 milligrams per liter, the level at which dental
fluorosis begins to occur to a significant degree in exposed populations.

RCRA PERMIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The RCRA Permit Advisory Committee has operated with Task
Forces and Working Groups that look at regulations and procedures
as well as new approaches to regulation of hazardous waste. These
groups report back to the full committee. Guidance documents
relating to land disposal, storage and treatment of hazardous
waste have been reviewed and they have looked at permit application
requirements and reviewed the permitting process. They have also
investigated and commented on new approaches to regulation i.e.,
class permits, mobile treatment units, lifetime permits and permit
variances.
Committee Meetings held:
Committee and Task Forces
February 15 and 16, 1983
April 26, 27 and 28
Additional Meetings:
Task Force A March 30, 1983
Task Force B March 15, 1983
Future Meetings:
Task Force A and B July 14, 1983
At the April meeting, the Committee approved and submitted
recommendations to EPA relating to project operating life for
hazardous waste permits. These recommendations were submitted
to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The Committee
also submitted to EPA recommendations relating to permit applicant
guidance and model permits for hazardous waste treatment, storage
and disposal facilities.
The initial Committee meeting in February was organizational.
Members were assigned to Task Forces and the Committee adopted
its rules of procedure. Task Forces met and determined Working
Groups and agendas. In March, Task Force meetings focussed on
recommendations regarding project operating life, and permit
applicant guidance and model permits.
Task Forces and Working Groups will meet again in July
where they will develop further comments on the land disposal
permitting process, post closure, and permit modifications.

primary purpose is to protect the public health
o assessing the hazard to humans of pollutants in the
air, land, or water media
o reviewing the scientific or technical adequacy
of Agency criteria, guidelines, measurements,
methodologies, models, protocols, and tests developed
to assess exposure, toxicity and/or risk to human health
o assessing the exposure, uptake, and subsequent fate
of pollutants in humans.
o describing the research efforts and assessing the
research planning necessary to provide the Agency
with information needed to protect public health
Membership
The Committee will consist of 7-10 members who represent
a variety of scientific and technical disciplines concerned

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
—The Environmental Health Committee outlined in a letter to the
Administrator some of the major generic issues encountered in
its past reviews of a series of EPA's health assessment documents.
Among the issues that the Committee drew to the Administrator's
attention were (1) the validity of extrapolations from high
levels of exposure to levels encountered by the public; (2) the
validity of extrapolation from laboratory animal species to
man, including the correlation of data derived from epidemiological
and laboratory animal studies; (3) the value of short-term
tests for predicting late occurring effects of exposure to
toxic agents; (4) the extent of interaction resulting from
exposure to different agents; (5) the utility of dose-response
derived from one route for predicting dose-response relationships
for a second route of exposure; (6) the inadequacies of
information on current exposure of the population and methods
for improving assessments of population exposure.
--The Environmental Engineering Committee completed its review
of the RCRA Risk/Cost Policy Model Phase 2 Report and issued
a report which concluded that the basic model construct is
sound; however, the model, as it now exists, is not technically
adequate to be the sole basis for regulatory decisions.
Rather, it should be used as a tool to screen or rank alternatives
as part of a more detailed analysis.
—The Science Advisory Board completed its review of the
Agency's 5-year research and development plan for 1983--
Research Outlook 1983. The Board's comments reflect their
concerns about research issues that need higher priority or
further clarification. Among examples cited by the SAB are
lack of adequate explanation of EPA's commitment to its
investigator-initiated Peer Review Grants Program; the inclusion
of unrealistic research promises and milestones; the lack of
clearly defined research priorities and the process for
establishing those priorities; and insufficient explanation
of the types of longer-term research EPA expects to undertake.
—The Environmental Engineering Committee issued a report on
its review of the technical support data for the proposed
effluent guidelines for the organic chemicals and plastics/
synthetic fibers industries. The Committee addressed a
number of major issues: (1) analytic methods, (2) unit processes,
(3) estimation of performance of treatment technologies
using mathematical models and performance capability and
effect of process variables on treatment technology for
conventional and toxic pollutants. The Committee's key
conclusion of the review, to date, is that the technical
support data provided to the Committee are not amenable to
interpretation with respect to their scientific adequacy, and
it is possible that by evaluation of all available data
(reported and unreported), including statistical analyses, a
scientifically adequate data base may be developed.
49
-------
—The Research Outlook Review Subcommittee reviewed the Office
of Research and Development's (ORD) research strategies for
fiscal year 1985. A number of questions arose about the
prioritization of research projects and the lack of a coherent,
overall picture of EPA's proposed research.
—The Laboratory Organization Review Group reviewed the
proposed reorganization proposals for the Office of Research
and Development, including both laboratory and headquarters
reorganizations. The Review Group has reached a number of
preliminary conclusions, among which are that the reorganization
of the existing ORD laboratories into five mega-laboratories
is supported by the SAB; that the key role of headquarters
ORD should be to facilitate and exercise oversight of the
development of research plans by the laboratories; and that
ORD's relationships with universities and the scientific
community need to be improved, i.e., reinstituting use of
exchange programs such as the IPA program.
--The Environmental Engineering Committee conducted a review
of the proposed changes to the secondary treatment regulations
(40 CFR 133). The Committee addressed the following questions:
(1) Whether or not substitution of CBOD5 for 6005 as a
measure of treatment plant performance should be allowed;
(2) Whether or not the existing requirement for 85% removal
of BOD and suspended solids should be eliminated; (3) Whether
or not newly-designed trickling filters can reasonably be
expected to meet current secondary treatment effluent limits;
(4) Whether permit adjustments in the effluent limits for
trickling filters should be allowed during cold weather
regardless of when built; and (5) Whether or not the two
million gallon per day limitation for waste stabilization
ponds eligible for adjustment of suspended solids' effluent
limitations should be eliminated. The Committee's report to
the Agency should be completed by July 1983.
—The Environmental Engineering Committee reviewed a draft
report entitled "Contaminants of Concern in the Disposal and
Utilization of Municipal Sewage Sludge." Among the questions
the Committee commented on were the following: (1) Does
EPA's draft report accurately characterize the principal
effects and exposures of sewage sludge disposal in the various
media? (2) Does the rough categorization of all contaminants
into three major categories reflect a reasonable priority
segregation to formulate national policy and implement strategy
for sludge management? and (3) Have important references on
this subject been overlooked? The Committee's report to the
Agency should be completed by July 1983.
50
-------
—The Environmental Engineering Committee conducted a review
of the proposed effluent guidelines for the pesticides
industry. The Committee addressed the following major issue:
the scientific and technical validity of the use of transfer
technology to determine type of treatment and type of technology
and quantitative estimates of the degree of reduction in
treatment for pesticides for which there are little or no
treatment data. The Committee's report to the Agency should
be completed by August 1983.
--The Environmental Effects, Transport, and Fate Committee
conducted a review of the site-specific water quality criteria.
The Committee addressed a number of critical issues including:
the scientific rationale for the development of site-specific
criteria; the definition of site; assumptions associated with
the site-specific criteria; and four procedures utilized for
developing site-specific criteria. These procedures include
(1) the recalculation procedure to account for differences
in resident species' sensitivity to a chemical; (2) the
indicator species procedure to account for differences in
bioavailability, and therefore toxicity, of a chemical due to
water quality variability; (3) the resident species procedure
to account for differences in resident species' sensitivity
and differences in the bioavailability, and therefore toxicity,
of a chemical due to water quality variability; and (4) the
heavy metal speciation procedure to allow the comparison of
ambient soluble or biologically available metal concentrations
to criteria in state water quality standards.
--The High Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Subcommittee
reviewed the proposed regulations for disposal of high level
radioactive waste. A number of important considerations
were reviewed, including: (1) The scientific and technical
rationale behind the choice of a 10,000-year period as the
basis for the assessment of disposal facility performance.
(2) The technical basis for selection of the proposed
performance requirements, including the risk assessment
methodology, uncertainties in the data and in the analytical
methods, and the estimation of premature cancer deaths.
(3) The scientific appropriateness of concentrating on disposal
in geologic media. (4) The validity of the conclusion that,
under the proposed rules, the risks to future generations
will be not greater than the risks from equivalent amounts of
naturally occurring uranium ore bodies. (5) The adequacy of
the economic analysis. (6) The ability of the analytical
methods/models used in the analysis to predict potential
releases from the disposal facility and their resultant
effects on human health. Included would be an evaluation of
the model's ability to deal with uncertainty, and the
confidence, in a statistical sense, one can have that the
model predictions are adequate to support selection of projected
performance requirements. The Subcommittee expects to complete
its review and report to the Agency by October 1983.
51
-------
—The Environmental Health Committee continued its review of
health assessment documents for a number of chemicals. Among
these are methylene chloride, methyl chloroform, CFC-113,
acrylonitrile, carbon tetrachloride, perchloroethylene, and
trichloroethylene. The Committee, during its evaluations of
these health assessments, concluded that the documents for
methyl chloroform, CFC-113, acrylonitrile, and carbon
tetrachloride are scientifically adequate for use in regulatory
decision making. Reviews of the remaining documents are continuing.
--The Environmental Health Committee conducted a scientific
review of EPA's cancer risk assessment document for coke oven
emissions. The Committee concluded that coke oven emissions
are carcinogenic to humans, and the Committee is awaiting
further modification of the cancer risk assessment by ORD in
response to the Committee's recommendation to review alternative
models and assumptions to risk assessment.
