TO: Members of the Environmental Protection Community
I am pleased to present the second edition of the Agency's
Information Resources Directory (IRD).
Information is a tremendously valuable resource. If managed
wisely, it can help EPA to meet its environmental challenges more
effectively and efficiently. The Agency is committed to
successful management of information and developed the IRD to
promote greater information sharing throughout EPA and its
partners in environmental protection.
The IRD is a guide to the multitude of Agency information
resources. It includes both descriptive subject and programmatic
listings of Agency data bases and models, hotlines and
clearinghouses, dockets and libraries, documents and individual
contacts. Where appropriate, it also lists selected
environmental information resources outside of the Agency.
Those of you familiar with the first edition of the IRD will
note changes in this edition. Certain sections have been
removed; others expanded. Whenever possible we have tried to
incorporate the numerous comments and suggestions that were
received on the first edition. I continue to urge you to forward
your comments for the next edition.
I know you share my enthusiasm for this directory as a
powerful tool to assist you in your discovery of the information
resources available through EPA.

About the IRD...
This is the second edition of the Information Resources Directory (IRD) which was
developed by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Information Re-
sources Management (OIRM). The IRD was created to increase awareness to
Agency information resources and promote greater information sharing through-
out EPA and its partners in environmental protection.
Each section of the Directory is formatted differently to present the information in
the most usable fashion. The first page of each section gives a synopsis of the type
of information found in the section, describes how the information is arranged,
provides a sample entry and lists sources. In most cases, indexes for the individual
sections are found at the end of the sections.
The IRD is published every six months (in spring and fall) so that you will have
access to the most current information. We are asking for your assistance in keeping
the directory current. An IRD Information Update Form is included in the Directory
for you to complete and submit to OIRM. Additionally, it should be noted that the
IRD depends on many original sources for its information. These sources are noted
in the beginning of each section. You may also wish to contact these original sources
to make corrections.
Many people have contributed both directly and indirectly to this publication. It is
important to acknowledge the work of the unnamed individuals who worked on the
source documents for many of the sections.
OIRM welcomes comments at any time regarding the IRD. For more information,

Section B
a] EPA Information Systems
This section presents basic information on over 600 EPA data bases and models. The
information in this section is taken directly from the annual inventory of the
Agency's information systems known as the Information Systems Inventory (ISI).
The inventory is compiled by EPA's Office of Information Resources Management.
This section lists the system name, system acronym if any, contact, telephone
number, hardware, software, descriptive keywords as listed in the May 1989 edition
of ISI.

This section is organized in the following way. Regional systems are listed first,
followed by the Headquarters systems, arranged by program office. Within each of
these categories, the systems are listed alphabetically by system name. Immediately
following the system descriptions are two helpful indices. The first lists all of the
EPA systems alphabetically by title with their corresponding page number. The
second index is organized alphabetically by system acronym. Although, this pub-
lication does not contain a specific subject grouping of the EPA information systems,
the arrangement of the systems by Headquarters program offices will serve as a
general subject indicator.
For more information on a particular system, contact the individual as listed. Alter-
natively, you may check the Information Systems Inventory (ISI) which contains a
more detailed description of the systems. If you are aware of art Agency system, data
base or model which should be added to ISI, or if you have any questions about ISI
please contact:

Hazardous Waste Ombudsman
Bob Knox
(202)475-9361
The hazardous waste management program established under RCRA is the
most complex regulatory program developed by EPA. EPA has been hampered
in its ability to handle complaints from the public and regulated community
by not having a single office the essential purpose of which is to assist
citizens and the regulated community in resolving problems concerning any
program or requirement under the hazardous waste law. Recognizing this
important need, EPA established an Office of Ombudsman at Headquarters
and in each Regional Office.

Newcomers to the Agency as well as members of the general public may sometimes
find themselves engulfed in a flood of Agency acronyms and abbreviations. To
assist with this situation, several Agency offices compiled acronym and abbrevia-
tion lists of their own. To further this process, this section combines acronym and
abbreviations lists from several Agency sources as listed below. The acronyms and
abbreviations represent a variety of terms: environmental statutes and regulations,
public and private interest groups, EPA organizational units and position titles,
Federal agencies and general terminology.
This section is arranged alphabetically by acronym or abbreviation. Since this list
was compiled from a number of different sources, the same acronym may appear
more than once. No attempt was made to standardize the acronym or abbreviaitons
as the same acronym might represent different terms in different EPA programs. In
most instances it was possible to follow the acronym or abbreviation by its corre-
sponding term in entirety. If not, the excluded phrase is represented by an ellipsis

Environmental Glossary
This section is a reprint of the Office of Public Affairs' Glossary of Environmental
Terms. The publication is intended to define the more commonly used environ-
mental terms as found in EPA publications. Every attempt has been made to define
theterms using non-technical language, although it was sometimes necessary to use
scientific terminology.
The terms are listed alphabetically. Common abbreviations, if any, follow the term.
In a few instances the term is listed by acronym only. In some cases, cross references
to synonyms and related terminology are also listed.
These definitions do not constitute the Agency's official use of terms and phrases for
regulatory purposes. Nothing in this document should be construed in any way to
alter or supplant any other Federal document. Official terminology may be found
inthclawsand regulations as published in such sources as the Congressional Record
and the Federal Register.
SAMPLE ENTRY
TERM
National Priorities Lint (NPL) -
EPA's list of the most serious uncontrolled or abandoned
hazardous waste sites Identified for possible long-term
remedial action under Superfund A site must be on the
NPL to receive money form the Trust Fund for remedial
action. The list is based primarily on the score a site
receives form the Hazard Ranking System. EPA is required
to update the NPL at least once a year.

An air pollution control device such as carbon absorber or incinerator which
reduces the pollution in an exhaust gas. The control device usually does not
affect the process being controlled and thus is "add on" technology, as opposed
tea scheme to control pollution through making some alteration to the basic
process.
