RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and
Monitoring, Environmental Protection Agency, have
been grouped into five series. These five broad
categories were established to facilitate further
development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping
was consciously planned to foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related
fields. The five series are:
1, Environmental Health Effects Research
2* Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY series. This series
describes research performed to develop and
demonstrate instrumentation, equipment and
methodology to repair or prevent environmental
degradation from point and non-point sources of
pollution. This work provides the new or improved
technology required for the control and treatment
of pollution sources to meet environmental quality
standards.

ABSTRACT
Projects of the Agricultural and Marine Pollution Control Program -
March 1973 is a compilation of the information sheets of the 160
projects initiated from fiscal year 1968 through fiscal year 1972.
Each sheet contains the objectives, statistical information and a
brief description of an initiated project.
General introductory information on the Environmental Protection Agency's
Agricultural and Marine Pollution Control Program is also presented to
provide perspective on the magnitude of these non-point pollution
problems and the research direction that must be pursued in order to
develop the technology to adequately control non-point sources in the
United States.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this booklet is to provide a listing of all active and
completed research, development and demonstration projects funded by
the Environmental Protection Agency and its predecessor agencies through
the Office of Research and Monitoring, Technology Division, Applied
Science and Technology Branch, and under the management and technical
direction of the Agriculture and Marine Pollution Control Section. The
information reported for each project includes the most commonly requested
specific information such as the title of the project, the name of the
contractor or grantee, and financial data along with a brief description
of the. project. Projects are divided into program element groups and
are listed in numerical order using the project numbering system in use
at the time of project initiation.
Projects under the direction of the Agriculture and Marine Pollution
Control Section initiated prior to October, 1972 were funded under
Section 5 and 6 of the Federal Pollution Control Act, as amended.
Projects initiated since the passage of the 1972 amendments were
funded under the authority granted the Administration by Section 104.
Section 104 of the Act provides broad authorization for research,
development and demonstration activities to prevent and abate pollution.
It puts particular emphasis on the development of techniques to abate
pollution from non-point sources, such as agricultural sources.
The projects under the direction of the Agriculture and Marine Pollution
Control Section include a wide and diverse technological area. A
description of the objectives of each program element is given at the
beginning of each section of this booklet. Our general objectives are to
develop techniques for the control and abatement of the pollution problems
caused by the accidential spills of oil and hazardous materials, the
operation of watercraft and recreational facilities, and from all agricul-
tural sources. The techniques developed are carried through the demonstration
phase so that the information may be used by States, industry and private
citizens. Although this effort involve some "research", most of the work
done by grantees and contractors is of a practical nature directly related
to the solution of immediate problems.

AGRICULTURAL SOURCES
PROGRAM ELEMENT 1B2039
While the control of municipal and industrial point sources of pollution
are receiving the major portion of resources within both the Federal
Government; and the private sector, non-point sources of pollution have
been recognized to contribute higher volumes of pollutants to our Nation's
watercourses than all point sources combined. Moreover, the agricultural
industry has been identified as the greatest single contributor of non-
point sources of pollution in most regions of the Nation. Among the
pollutants originating from agricultural sources are sediment and the
pesticides, herbicides and nutrients it carries,dissolved inorganic
nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates, biodegradable and refractory
organics, pathogenic organisms, and odor and dust.
•#
Within /the Applied Science and Technology Branch of the Office of Research
and Monitoring, a significant research, development and demonstration
effort has been underway to characterize^the pollutants emanating from
agricultural sources, and to identify feasible waste management technology
for both remedial treatment and control and for recycle-reuse where
applicable. The categories of agricultural sources addressed by this
program, and the program element numbers previously assigned separately
to these categories are:
Forestry and Logging - 13010 (323101)
Agricultural Runoff - 13020 (323102)
Irrigation Return Flows - 13030 (323103j
Animal Feedlots - 13040 (323104)
Natural Runoff - 15060 (323107]
A short summary follows for the problems and program objectives of each
of these categories which are all presently covered by the Agricultural
Sources Program Element (1B2039).
Forestry and Logging
The application of pesticides and fertilizers for high yield forest
production and log harvesting methods (e.g. "clean cut" harvesting)
leads to pesticide, nutrient, sediment and organic waste contamination
of watercourses. Slash burning of harvested areas and log rafting
in watercourses cause related problems. Means for the prevention
or control, of these problems are required to enable forest-using
agribusiness complex to meet water quality standards and to improve
their overall production management practices.
11
-------
Little significant research other than that conducted to improve
forest production has been accomplished. Consequently, the R,D&D
program must necessarily entail "Problem definition" studies particularly
in the pulp forests of the Southeast and the lumber forests of Alaska.
Somewhat more work has been accomplished in the Pacific Northv/est regarding
problem definition. Accordingly, emphasis in this area will be to develop
(for example) effective forest management practices to minimize sediment
and organic refuse pollution due to logging activities. Other work such
as demonstration of proper fertilization techniques must be accomplished.
All work will be in conjunction with industry, States, institutions and
other agencies, such as the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife (USDI)
and the U. S. Forest Service (USDA). Even though locally severe problems
may occur, the National impact of this source of pollution is considerably
less than those of other agricultural sources; consequently, this program
currently has a somewhat lower priority than that of pesticides used on
cropland, feedlots and irrigation return flows.
Agricultural Runoff
Nutrients from fertilizers, persistent pesticides and herbicides, and
sediment (both in and of itself and as a carrier of contaminants) have
caused considerable water pollution. Methods are needed to prevent and
control the 1 billion tons of sediment runoff, and pollution from the
runoff from the 700 million pounds of pesticides and 10 million tons of
fertilizers which reach watercourses each year. Revised and improved
management methodology is required to assure minimum economic losses to
crop production and minimum adverse effects on the environment.
Program objectives are to provide an effective array of guidelines,
methods, and criteria to aid farmers in controlling agricultural runoff;
to develop and demonstrate management techniques, mathematical model tools,
and improved cultural practices to mitigate these problems. Basic control
and management measures for nutrient and sediment runoff, and "use" criteria
for persistent pesticides will be developed and demonstrated.
Because runoff pollution is inherently related to rainfall (and other
climatic and edaphic variations) the R.D&D effort is fully National in
impact and In current program emphasis. Important regional differences
which affect general prevention or control procedures must be elucidated.
Most ongoing extramural efforts are currently supporting a significant
in-house and interagency modelling effort with the Soil Conservation
Research Division of the Agricultural Research Service, USDA, at Watkinsville,
Georgia.

-------
Irrigation Return Flows
It has long been recognized that the quality of water draining from irrigated
areas was seriously degraded from that of the irrigation water applied.
Agriculturists have viewed this as a natural consequence of the processes
involved, and little attention has been given to the possibility that
progress could be made toward controlling or alleviating the contributions
of mineral salts and nutrients to our nation's water resources. Recent
Federal legislation and a greatly increased National concern have caused
a reversal of this attitude, and EPA-has been charged "to establish a
National policy for the prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution."
The water quality problems associated with irrigation return flows are of
special concern because irrigated agriculture is the largest consumer of
public water resources, especially in the arid and semi-arid westerrr States.
{It also is of major importance to the economy of a large sedment of the
nation and the supplier of a significant part of the food and fiber produced
annually.
Completed and ongoing projects and program needs dictate that emphasis
be placed on (1) improving water delivery systems, including canal and
lateral lining; (2) on-farm water management methods such as automated
water scheduling, and improved application methods such as drip, or "trickle"
and subsurface; (3) improved pesticide and fertilizer application methods;
(4) improved cultural practices such as reduced tillage and controlled
leaching; (5) tailwater recovery and reuse; and (6) subsurface return flow
collection and diversion, dilution, and/or treatment where required.
j
Present and past efforts have been conducted in-house in cooperation with
other State (e.g. State of California) and Federal agencies (e.g. Bureau
of Reclamation, USDI), and with the academic community.
Animal Feedlots
Confined animal (beef, dairy, swine) and poultry operations are dramatically
increasing in number and size. Runoff, particularly from beef, swine
and dairy operations have caused numerous fish kills. Untreated, this
runoff will have a BOD varying from 20,000 to 60,000 parts per million,
and COD as high as 240,000 parts per million, as well as solids and bacterial
contaminants. With the growth of this "industry" (beef feedlots are now
as large as 100,000 head), a considerable Research, Development and
Demonstration effort is required to provide an array of coordinated animal
and waste management techniques.
Based upon industry trends and program R,D&0 needs, emphasis in the animal
feedlot category is primarily concerned with: 1) reprocessing and reuse
systems for animal and poultry waste, such as refeeding, pyrolysis, ammonia
and/or methane gas production, building materials, etc; 2) demonstration
of treatment/land disposal systems for animal and poultry wastes from small
operations; 3) demonstration of measures to control such ancillary pollutants
as odor, dust, antibiotics, etc. 4) D&D of methods to control pollutants
from certain feedlots, such as new lots, abandonded lots, and containment/
treatment/land disposal of snowmelt runoff; 5) D&D of animal management
concepts which minimize pollution source problems; and 6) dissemination
of R,D&D results and waste management guidelines governing animal and
poultry waste. ,,
-------
A new segment of this category of R.D&D projects addresses the problems
attendent to the confined feeding and harvesting of cold and warm water
species of fish. However, due to limited availability of funds, efforts
presently are concentrated on characterization of the catfish production
industry and identification of feasible treatment, control and recycle/
"closed loop" technology which would be amenable to large scale demonstration.
While a limited amount of work is being accomplished in-house, the majority
of the effort is done by the academic community, with operating entities
of the industry itself, and with the Agricultural Research Service of USDA.
The primary mechanism of program accomplishment is the demonstration grant
with feedlot operators utilizing consultants or universities for project
evaluation.
Natural Runoff
Runoff of salinity, sediment and nutrients from natural sources has been
found to contribute a significant portion of the total pollutional load on
watercourses in the western United States, where most of the "virgin"
forests and mineral springs which contribute to runoff are found.
Neither has the magnitude and impact of natural runoff on water quality
been evaluated to any significant degree, nor has there been any criteria
or directives established for the abatement of this source of pollution.
Program objectives are to define the magnitude and impact of the runoff
of dissolved solids, nutrients and salinity from natural sources such
as "virgin" forests, mineral springs, gypsum deposits and the like.
It is expected that a majority of the sources of natural runoff will
lie west of the Mississippi River, a region which has been less sub-
ject to urban, suburban and rural development. Therefore, the larger
portion of this program's emphasis will be allocated to the West.
The intended result of the program will be: A delineation of the impact
and magnitude of pollutional loads from various natural sources; develop-
ment of mathematical models which will predict runoff of salinity,
dissolved solids and nutrients when they occur naturally and when they
are mitigated by control measures; establishment and demonstration of
the possibility and extent of these control measures.
*
To date, efforts in this area have been minimal. It is hoped that funding
will be approved for this effort in FY 74.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A series of investigations will determine relationships of the following factors to
volatilization losses, conversion of fertilizer to other nitrogen compounds, and
downward movement of nitrogen forms in the soil profile:
1. Factors associated with nitrogen fertilizers—Chemical formulation, granule.
size and application rate.
2. Properties of forest soils and forest floors—texture, structure, depth, pH,
cation exchange capacity, buffering capacity, microbial population and urease
activity.
3. General climatic variables—soil temperature, soil mositure, air temperature,
relative humidity, air movement, amount and timing of rainfall.
4. Exploration and selected tests of combinations (interactions) of the above
factors.
The possibility exists that nitrogen volatilized from forest soil may be reab-
sorbed by various components of the forest ecosystem, thereby decreasing potential
losses. Therefore, tests will be made of the capacity of water, soil, forest
floor, understory vegetation, and coniferous seedlings for absorption'of ammonia
and nitrogen oxides.
Plant uptake is an influential factor in leaching losses. For treatments havine
substantial leaching losses, tests will be made with green plants in the system?

Abstract
The project will survey several well defined small watersheds that
contain significant confined and unconfined animal growing. The survey
will assess the water quality of the drainage from the watershed and cor-
relate it with such factors as type of growing facilities, animal den-
sities, feeds, waste disposal facilities and practices, topographic
features, and soil factors in order to develop relationships for
estimating the pollutional impact from animal growing watersheds in
the Middle Atlantic and Southeastern United States.

Author Dr. Paul Zwerman, et. al.
Abstract
A rainfall simulator was utilized to determine the effects of 2, 10,
and 20 year storm frequencies on losses of water, soil and nutrients
from plots subjected to different crop rotations, fertilizer schemes
and manure applications. Crop rotations, rates of fertilizer and manure
were compared. Simulations were made on freshly tilled soil. Comparative
erosion losses were as follows: continuous sod < corn - alfalfa
rotations < continuous corn. Fertilizer alone tended to increase runoff,
but this effect was overcome when fertilizer was used with manure.
Continuous recording of surface and subsurface flow and subsequent
losses of nutrients to the environment was conducted on larger plots.
Rate and time of fertilizer determined the plant nutrients lost.
Returning crop residues to the soil improved water infiltration, increasing
deep seepage losses. Proper timing of fertilizer applications could
control adverse environmental effects. Phosphorus inputs into cultural
media as it related to algal growth was studied. Sustained concentration
of phosphorus at or above a critical concentration determined the biomass
phosphorus.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The project will be concerned with identifying najor parameters control linn
the movement of pesticides through different soil materials and testing of
various mathematical models for their ability to describe this movement.
The primary mechanisms of pesticide nobility will be investigated in the
laboratory under controlled environmental conditions, in saturated and
unsaturated soils which are stratified in their pore geometry. The data
collected from these experiments will serve to test various mathematical
models to determine the most widely applicable model. Field evaluation on
a limited scale in a dynamic soil environment will further test the validity
of the model ultimately chosen. This model will serve as a sub-element to
the Pesticide Runoff Mathematical Model being developed in-house and field
tested by the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research
Service. Moreover a significant contribution will be made toward formulation
of regulations for the use of pesticides.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objectives of the project are to: (1) quantify the pollutional
constitutents in agricultural surface runoff and express them as contributions
per unit area or per unit runoff and as concentration (mg/1 or ppm), (2) relate
unit pollutant contributions to soil types, land uses and management practices and
climatological factors, and (3) relate the portion of pollution conetitutents
associated with both dissolved and suspended solids.
Composited and grab samples of surface runoff will be collected from seven
carefully selected representive drainage basins using automatic self-starting
samplers. Rainfall on and the flow from the drainage areas will be measured.
Spring runoff from frozen land surfaces would receive special attention. Drainage
areas will consist of cropland with both row and small grain crop cover, pasture and
grassland. Analyses of samples will include determination of nitrogen and phosphorus
forms pesticides, COD, BOD, dissolved and suspended solids, coliform and other
fecal organisms.
Periodic recording of the land use changes and prevailing drainage basin cover
conditions would be accomplished utilizing aerial reconnaissance. Photographs will
be used to provide permanent land use records.. Records of applications of fertilizers
and pesticides obtained from the land users will be correlated with pollutant
contributions in the runoff. It is anticipated that the quantitative information
provided by this investigation may be extrapolated to apply throughout the Upper
Great Plains region.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This study proposes to analyze the runoff and sediments removed from 31 soil
erosion plots (on midwest claypan research farm, near McCredie, Missouri).
Variables are, rates of f-ertilizer application (nitrogen and phosphorous),
pesticides, tillage practices and cropping systems.
Analyses will be made of the runoff water and sediments and will determine the
amount of nutrients and pesticides lost to surface water and penetrating through
the soil profile. Studies will also be made of the nitrogen and phosphate contents
of water entering three reservoirs in farming areas. Analyses of water samples
will show retention in the reservoir and the quantity that eventually enters streams
below the impoundments.
Soils differ widely in properties. These results will provide accurate information
on the effects and fate of fertilizers and pesticides applied to calypan soils
that represent about 5 million acres of cropland in the mid-continent states.
This type of information on a number of soil types in essential before an accurate
assessment of different farm practices on water pollution can be made.

To develop and calibrate a single event dynamic pesticide runoff model with
the capability for sequential rainfall response prediction based on book-
keeping of pesticide and soil status between events. The intent .is not
to focus on elaborate meteorological input simulation routines or receiving
stream and impounded water integration and distribution analyses, but to
develop a code such that large agricultural areas are automatically subdivide;
into "model" hydrologic sub-units whose response can be accurately simulated
(dynamically) per each rainfall event, and subsequentially thereafter, based
on the algorithms structured and calibrated in this research effort. The
overall basin response is then to be fabricated via suitable1 storage and
routing routines and output options so that the appropriate pesticide source
terms, as a function of time during a given rainfall event may be computed.

Abstract
The Bio-Engineering Aspects of Agricultural Drainage reports describe the
results of a unique interagency study of the occurrence of nitrogen and
nitrogen removal treatment methods for sub-surface agricultural wastewaters
of the San Joaquin Valley, California. The three principal agencies involved
in the study were the EPA, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the State of
California.
A series of fourteen reports has been planned, including summaries of all
aspects of the study. Reports have been prepared which describe the
prediction of sub-surface agricultural wastewater quality, techniques to
remove nitrogen in drainage effluent during transport; reducing nitrogen
in discharge water by on-farm practices; desalinization of wastewaters; and
algal production and harvesting methods to remove nutrients from wastewaters.

on water and solute movement in soil profiles. The attendant economies
or diseconomies of water, salinity, crop production, and financial and
management requirements will be investigated. The 36 month study will be
conducted at the Plant Science Farm of New Mexico State University, using
a number of side barriered field plots which will be subject to renlica-
tions of varying surface and trickle irrigation moisture levels and field
water application efficiencies. Surface and subsurface instrumentation will
monitor moisture and salinity storage and movement, as well as the change
in the quality and quantity of drainage water at stations along collection
ditches and the Del Rio Drain. An overall cost-benefit analysis will be
provided to ascertain the viability of trickle irrigation as a more
advantageous alternative to surface and subsurface irrigation methods
presently being employed, in terms of its economic and environmental impacts.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objectives of the proposed project are basically to develop, to evaluate,
and to demonstrate a treatment system that will be able to satisfactorily
treat the animal wastes and runoff from dairy cattle holding areas.
The envisioned system will effect treatment biologically and will operate
on an automated "fill and draw" basis. This basis of operation has the
advantages that it obviates the need for an expensive settling tank and
lends itself quite nicely to the intermittent demands of the usual dairy
farm work schedule. The system will consist of an aerated grit separator;
an aeration tank, which, for experimental purposes, will be divided into
two Independently operable sections; a blower and pump building; a chlorine
contact tank; and means for using the chlorinated effluent for washing down
the system and the holding area.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The project involves development and demonstration of soil treatment systems for
dairy and swine wastes. A modified aerobic zone will be used for phosphorus
precipitation by adding limestone or slag to the soil. A layered anaerobic zone
will be employed for denitrification. The entire system will be underlain by
plastic barrier and drain tiles and will be landscaped in roughage grasses. This
system, "Barriered Landscape Water Renovation System" is one of the first
comprehensive methods attempting to utilize small engineered land areas for
tertiary treatment of liquid animal wastes which will allow recovery and reuse of
the treated wastewater.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The proposed project intends to demonstrate the application of conventional
rendering techniques to the poultry wastes generated from a 175,000 laying
hen operation. The existing system for disposing of the 50,000 Ibs. of
wet manure generated per day consists of trucking (12 loads per day) to
adjacent farm lands for spreading at an estimated net cost of $57.00 per
day. After installation of the proposed system the manure will be
cooked/hydrolyzed in a steam cooker, dried in a rotary kiln, ground, and used
as a feed supplement for poultry. It is claimed that hydrolyzing will increase
the available protein by about 50 percent and result in an 80 percent digestibility
factor. Manure age, and process variables (cooking time, temperature, pressure,
etc.) will be varied to determine the optimum end-product quality. Feeding trials and
subsequent autopsy analyses will run concurrently to evaluate feed value and
residue effects. Stack gas analyses on the emissions from the incinerator and ,
water analyses on the effluent from the condensers will be completed routinely.
An economic study of the system will be included for comparison with alternate
waste management systems and feed supplement sources.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The specific objectives of the project are: (1) to demonstrate to animal
producers the type of waste treatment unit operations which could be used to
process wastes from animal production units, (2) to demonstrate a system of
automated handling of animal wastes, (3) to demonstrate an animal waste
treatment system which would not create a public nuisance and whose effluent
could be of such quality that it could not contribute to water pollution.
The wastes from a 500-pig confinement unit will be flushed into a settling
tank. The supernatant of the tank will be processed by aeration in an oxidation
ditch, clarified, chlorinated and recirculated through the animal building as
flushing water. The solids settled out of the settling tank will be stored in
a storage tank which will have a capacity of 90-day detention time. The solids
will then be disposed by field spreading.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the technical and
economic feasibility of treating livestock wastes by means of a sequential
thermophilic-mesophilic aerobic stabilization process to produce (1) an
innocuous, settleable humus with ion-sequestering ability suitable as a
soil conditioner, and (2) a nearly odor-free, pathogen-free supernatant
usable for irrigation or flushing.
The digestions will be carried out in bench scale vessels with fresh
wastes collected and processed on-site. Process parameters needed for
construction of a mathematical model will be measured and a usable computer
model of the process will be attempted. In addition, the amount of heat
generated by the process will be measured to determine if it is self-
sustaining. From the bench scale experiments, design data and operating
requirements for a plant capable of treating wastes from 500 head of cattle
will be developed and estimates of the economics of this system made.

TRANSPORTATION SOURCES
PROGRAM ELEMENT 1B2038
(FORMERLY 15010 & 15020)
Up until the present time efforts under this element have primarily
been devoted to Watercraft Wastes. These wastes include sanitary
wastes, oils, litter, bilge water, wash waters, chemicals, and cargo
spills. The sources of these wastes include 110,000 commercial
vessels, 1500 federally operated craft and an estimated 6,000,000
recreational craft. Pollution from watercraft is most severe in
bays, inlets, harbors, and in the vicinities of harbors. The
pollutants may cause disease in man, may damage or destroy aquatic
life and waterfowl, and may make water unsightly and generally lower
its utility for other legitmate purposes. The growing popularity
of watercraft for recreational purposes has increased and will continue
to increase the significance of watercraft as a source of pollution.
Recreational craft may discharge sanitary wastes in stemming areas,
over potable water intakes and over shellfish beds. Current "on-board"
technology and shoreside supporting facilities at marinas and ports
are generally inadequate or non existent.
Included also in this element is the development of technology for
the prevention or control of water pollution generated by recreational
activities. The number of people using bathing beaches, picnic grounds,
camping areas and ski resorts is increasing each year. As a result waste
disposal facilities are generally inadequate. Present waste treatment
systems at recreational areas have been limited either to ineffective
septic tank systems or other primitive systems. These systems are unable
to adjust to heavy weekend shock loadings and to seasonal usage wherein
they must move from a dormant stage to an operational stage quickly.
Also, since water supply may be in short supply at remote areas, systems
are required that are conservative of water or allow reuse.
Because public health is a prime consideration most of the resources
available to this element have been channeled, to date, into developing
technology necessary to prevent pollution from sanitary wastes.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of
using a compact; closed-loop, non-aqueous system for collecting, transporting and
disposing of domestic waste at rep.ote and recreations! a.reas where conventional
methods of disposal are undesirable because of the need to protect recreational and
underground waters and in areas where water is in short supply. It will be
demonstrated that water conservation can be achieved by using a non-aqueous flush
media. The system will be demonstrated and evaluated during both winter and summer
seasons at a facility serving the recreation and tourist industry. The physical,
biological, chemical and aesthetic characteristics of the flush media will be
demonstrated.
Specific technical data to be determined and evaluated includes:
1. Data on the useful life of the flush media.
2. Per capita waste loading to establish-future design criteria.
3. Effectiveness of the incineration process.
4. Operational maintenance and reliability data to project optimum
operational techniques and procedures.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will develop and demonstrate a non-biological waste treatment system
which eliminates the organic wastes in sewage and makes the water suitable for
reuse in flushing toilets, thus obviating the necessity for a water supply for.
waste disposal. To demonstrate the performance of the developed system, it will'
be installed at the top of Fred's Mountain (10,400 feet elevation), Alta, Wyoming,
to treat the sanitary sewage generated by the customers and employees of a restaurant
located there. The restaurant will have a seating capacity of 60 and is expected
to serve as many as 500 customers per day. An estimated 1,500 gal/day of sanitary
wastes will be treated. Treated wastes will have less than 50 mg/1 of BODq,
less than 50 mg/1 of suspended solids, and less than 100 >rPN 'of coliform organisms
per 100 ml.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project was to determine the feasibility of reducing water pollution in
tidal beach areas by using aeration/chlorination system.
The aeration did not exhibit any appreciable reduction in pollution. The
chlorination, as expected, reduced the pollution. However, the chlorine demand
of the bottom deposits, and the chlorine removal by the changing tiaes, indicated
the costs would be excessive.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objective of this program is to design, develop and demonstrate a compact,
simple to operate, reliable and relatively maintenance free physical-chemical
waste treatment system for recreational watercraft.
The unique feature of the proposed system is the incorporation of the combined
processes of in-depfch filtration and carbon adsoprtion in a moving bed. An
electrically driven, variable pitch screw shaft moves the filtration/adsorption
mixed media on an intermittant basis. The active zone, of the unit is replenished
periodically with fresh media while the spent media is wasted to a storage
canister which requires emptying once per boating season.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The overall objective of this grant is to develop a physiochemical system of
treating sanitary, galley, laundry, shower and wash basin wastes generaged on
an ore carrier operating on the Great Lakes with a crew of 30 men. The proposal
envisages using three subsystems. One subsystem, employing a proprietary
catalytic -incinerator for solid liquid separation and solids reduction, and
proprietary catalytic columns for dissolved solids removal and oxidation, would
treat only sanitary wastes. The second subsystem, treating sanitary and galley
wastes, would employ a centrifuge for solids, grease liquid separation; an
incinerator for grease and solids reduction and catalytic columns for dissolved
dolids removal and oxidation. The third subsystem would use electrolytic
chlorination to sterilize shower, wash basin and laundry waste wafer. These three
subsystems would be designed with appropriate holding tanks, recycling tanks
and automatic controls to treat in excess of 2,900 gallons of waste-water per
day. After fabrication, the subsystems will be assembled on shore and tested
before installation on board ship- Upon installation of the subsystems there
would be a 90 day shipboard evaluation followed by a 6 months program to evaluate
performance reliability. Effluent requirements for the proposed system would be less
than 50 mg/1 of suspended solids, -less than 50 mg/1 of BOD and less than 240 MPN
of coliform organisms per 10 ml.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
In this project, it is proposed to investigate the effectiveness of a pollution
control device in alleviating the impact of exhaust products from two-cycle
outboard engines on natural water. This will involve the determination of output
and distribution of two.-cycle outboard engines exhaust products, its effect on
water quality and the potential impact on the biological community in particular
primary productivity.
The first phase will be studied in an enclosed tank of about 15 feet in diameter with
maximum depth of 6 feet to provide a reasonable surface to volume ratio. Carbon
balances will be made to determine the distribution of fuel in the air, in the
surfaces of the water and tanks, and in the bulk of the water in the tanks, and
in the bulk of the water in the tanks. The effect of incorporating lake muds
into the system will be studied since sorption phenomena may be significant in
terms of immediate removal and perhaps subsequent leaching.

OIL & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SPILLS
PROGRAM ELEMENT 1B20A1
(FORMERLY 15080 & 15090)
Presently, an estimated 10,000 spills of oil and hazardous materials
occur annually in the navigable waters of the Nation. Oil spills are
expected to triple over the next 30 years as a result of increased
production, transport, storage, and transfer. The production of
hazardous materials is expected to increase by 73 percent in the next
ten years. About 500 new chemicals are being developed and entered
into commerce each year. "Spills" are distinguished as noncontinuous
discharges of dumping which usually occur as a result of accidents,
malfunctions of equipment, or human error. They also include discharges
of oily ballast water, discharges from tank cleaning operations, con-
venience dumping of hazardous materials into sewers or the environment,
and waste oil from crankcases and industrial uses. These accidential
spills occur at inopportune times and locations, subjecting watercourses
to varying degrees of hazards.
Damages caused by oil and hazardous material spills are both significant
and diverse. Such pollution can destroy or limit marine life, ruin
wildlife habitat, kill birds, limit or destroy the recreational value
of beach areas, contaminate water supplies and create fire hazards.
Major problems iti the control of hazardous material spills in water-
courses include the wide variation of substances, their reactivity
problems, the persistence of materials and the immediate and long term
effects. Materials spilled in watercourses may undergo physical and
chemical change and may combine with other materials which affect and
increase their toxicity.
The objective of the oil and hazardous material spill program is to
develop equipment and processes for the prevention, control and clean-up
of spills. While efforts must be directed toward prevention of spills,
it is recognized that spills will continue to occur due to accidents,
negligence and natural disasters. It is therefore also necessary to
develop an array of countermeasures to contain spills to prevent them
from entering watercourses and to control and remove those that reach
waters to minimize damage to the water ecosystem. The variability of
the hazardous materials necessitates development of a wide range of
countermeasures. Improved processes need to be developed to convert
waste automobile oils to useable products to prevent dumping in
watercourses.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
From the publication "Petroleum Facts and Figures," 1967, one
billion gallons of lubricating oil for automobiles were sold
nationally in 1965. Only approximately 120 million gallons are
re-refined. Of this amount, approximately 25% by volume becomes
sludge residue that requires the development of special disposal
techniques. Accordingly, a significant portion of the National
production even after re-refining enters the environment.
The current methods of re-refining in many instances are marginal
operations in competition with refining of virgin.oils. Many
re-refining have gone out of business, increasing the magnitude
of the oil pollution problem.
This grant will demonstrate a new simplified process requiring
minimum capital equipment and suitable for package construction
for installations near waste oil sources and markets, as well as
near complete conversion efficiency to reusable oil products and
substantial reduction of the pollution potential from re-refining
operations themselves. In addition, the process produces no sludge
which has to be disposed. The grantee purports to have developed
a saleable product for every cut.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The original proposal was designed to study petroleum microorganisms
to be used for pollution control. The first phase of the program
included experimental designs to assess and develop microbial seeding
techniques to accelerate normal oil degradation processes. This was
to be accomplished by producing hydrocarbo oxidizing microorganisms
with more rapid growth; production of a nutrient material to enhance
growth; studying UV resistance for surface growth and in microbial
production of non-toxic surface active agents or physical absorbants to
produce emulsif ication and larger water-oil surface.
The continuation program is intended to extend laboratory and tank
.experiments on microbial degradation of oil slicks to actual estuarine
conditions. The residual hydrocarbons will be determined in selected
natural or polluted marine estuaries, sediments and living organisms.
In addition, the project will include participation in controlled spilled
tests off the Texas coast.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Commercially available earth moving equipment used to date in beach restoration
operations has not in most cases been well suited to efficient removal of
contaminated beach material and/or mixtures of sorbing materials such as straw.
The primary penalty of inefficiency in this operation is inadvertent collection
of large volumes of uncontaminated sand with attendant high costs and reduced
restoration rates. Improvement in the efficiency of the collection operations
will not only stand to overcome these problems, but will reduce the burden on the
next stage cleaning or ultimate disposal of the collected materials.
The project will be aimed at evaluating the. effectiveness of selected pieces
of earth moving equipment, making appropriate minor modifications to improve
efficiency, developing operating procedures and' demonstrating the system on
a contaminated beach.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
A boom will be developed utilizing an oil-water separating fabric
to improve boom performance in currents. This improvement should
result from the elimination of oil losses under the boom by
redirection of flow lines to force entrained oil to contact the
separating fabric. The proposed boom will be flexible, supported
by a combination of low pressure flotation and nylon line, and
should conform to wave shapes, minimizing losses over or under the
boom. A preliminary design and tank testing program will be
conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of this application.
Also the fabric has potential for effective application to a high
rate oil separtor. A bench scale model- of a separation device will
be designed and constructed to determine the feasibility of this
concept .

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Flow bench tests of a model rotating belt-Couette flow oil
recovery device were conducted in a calm water environment
primarily, although a few tests were conducted in the presence
of waves. These tests revealed clearly that the device is capable
of harvesting oils over a broad range of viscosities at the rates
and purities specified by the EPA, if the inlet can be made to
"track" the water surface.
Analysis were conducted to design a catamaran vessel suitable for
mounting the Oil Pickup Unit (OPU) and also providing the requisite
surface following performance. Vessel response analysis showed that
the'required surface following behavior cannot be provided by the
catamaran itself, but can be achieved by floating the OPU and
decoupling this assembly from the vessel in heave and surge. A servo
control for the foil device used at the OPU inlet will further
enhance the surface tracking behavior.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objective of the project is to demonstrate the operational
capability of a light weight, portable skimmer barge in semi-
protected shallow waters. Because of the prevailing wind con-
ditions in the Corpus Christi area, the skimmer barge is designed
to be anchored downwind from the source of the spill with two
extending boom arm spread out in the shape of a "V" so as to
embrace the 'spill source. The skimmer barge is bottomless and
thus will serve as a separation permitting the oil to accumulate
at the surface where it will be pumped into a collection barge.
The skimmer will be tested under different conditions with wind
velocities up to 30 knots and a water chop of up to two feet.

capable of positively identifying the source of crude oil
or refined petroleum products spilled into water. A passive
tagging approach employing the techniques of high resolution
mass spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromotography to resolve
an oil spill sample into its true, stable chemical "finger-
print" is proposed. Vanadium/nickel analysis by emission
spectroscopy is also included in the fingerprint data. This
fingerprint data will be compared with suspect sources or
with a file of "fingerprints" to make positive identification.
The effect of weathering of the oil on the identification
process is also being investigated.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Oil is a ch emi c a 1 that has severe, biological effects.; therefore,
oil pollution research to be fully meaningful must combine chemical
and biological studies. Chemical characterization of oil in sediments
and organisms can be accomplished by using gas chromatography and
mass spectrometry . Both of these techniques are widely used by the
oil industry in exploration for the characterization and correlation
of oil in sediments, and in refining for analysis and quality control.
These techniques, which describe the physical and chemical properties
of an oil, must be expanded and modified to permit studying
environmental fate of petroleum.
It is the objective of this study to develop these instrumental
methods to the point where they are routine or standard analytical
procedures for identifying oil spill samples. Included in this
program would be the development of sampel handling and pre-treatment
techniques, as well as optimization of columns, temperatures and
resonance times for different types of oils, ranging from light fuels
to heavy crudes .

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The objective of this project is to develop a system utilizing
polyurethane foam as the sorbent material. The system will utilize
water spray booms, extending outward from a support vessel, to
concentrate oil-soaked shredded polyurethane on the water surface.
The concentrated material will be withdrawn from the water surface
by means of partly submerged conveyors and deposited on a second
conveyor-oil separator. This unit extracts the oil by pressing and
is provided with a heating system as required to process material
soaked with viscous materials. Recovered oil will flow by gravity
to a receiving tank which, when filled, are dumped overboard for
pickup or towing by other vessels. The sorbent from which the oil
has been extracted will be conveyed forward by means of a closed
circuit Redler-type conveyer to mulcher-spreaders which redistribute
the sorbent on the water surface.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves the development and demonstration of an oil
spill surveillance system based on the use of ultraviolet fluorescence
emission detection. The system will detect and identify oil, as well
as monitor the area covered by the oil on the water. Identification
of oil type is achieved through automatic analysis of the ultraviolet
fluorescence spectra. The probability of false alarms, due to non-
oily materials, is minimal. Testing to determine the effectiveness
of the system will be conducted in the laboratory and at a typical
waterway near Bedford. Project completion is scheduled for Summer,
1972. A report describing the equipment design, operating character-
istics and feasibility for operating as a remote surveillance system
will, be delivered one month1 pfter the completion of the project.

The project incorporates the design, development, fabrication,
demonstration and evaluation of an automatic water monitoring
device which will provide an immediate warning signal in response
to the presence of organophosphates in watercourses. Organophosphates
are inhibitors of the enzyme chplinesterase which will be used as
sensor to monitor the water being sampled. Water suspected of
containing organophosphates and a substrate will be passed over the
enzyme in an electrochemical cell. In the absence of the
organophosphates the substrate will hydrolyze and produce a low
potential. When the toxic material is present the substrate will
not be hydrolyzed and a high potential will activate an alarm
sys-tem.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is to develop and test a physical -barrier that can be used
to contain spilled hazardous materials in watercourses to prevent dispersion
to 'surrounding waters. Incorporated in the barrier is an air-inflated
flotation collar which supports the top of the barrier, and a water-inflated
seal which seals the bottom of the barrier to the bottom of the watercourse.
Components necessary for deployment will be evaluated to optimize functional
and operational procedures under actual field conditions in both a lake and
flowing stream. The ability of the barrier to withstand currents up to three
knots in a tidal situation will be determined.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This is one of two projects (the other, Project No. 68-03-0181, is
being carried out by Industrial Bio Test Laboratories, Inc.) to
demonstrate and evaluate methods of removing spilled, insoluble,
heavier than water hazardous materials from the bottom's of water-
courses. The site for this demonstration and evaluation is a
designated 500 ft. section of a creosote-contaminated stream in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, namely, the Little Menomonee River. In this
demonstration it is essential that the general contour of the stream,
as well as the banks, shoreline, and vegetation not be disturbed.
This requirement eliminates the more conventional dredging methods.
Creosote, river mud, and detritus—as ca. 5% slurry—will be removed
continuously from the river bed with a specially designed vacuum head.
The head will be manipulated from a floatation tank-supported frame
that permits vertical, lateral, and horizontal movement of the suction
head. The frame will be positioned in the river by hand moving. The
slurry will be partially separated into solids and water by the EPA
Mobile Beach Cleaner. The solids will be transported to a sanitary
landfill, while the contaminated liquid will be processed in the EPA
Modular Spills Treatment Unit', developed by Rex Chainbelt, Inc. under
separate EPA contract. Effluent from the treatment process will be
tested for creosote/mud content and then either returned to the river
or reprocessed, as required. During the demonstration, the water in
the Little Menomonee River will be tested above and below the operation
site to assure that water quality is not degraded. The superior
creosote-removal method (this one or the method being evaluated under
Project 68-03-0181) will then be applied to the cleanup of the entire
(2 1/2 miles) of the Llttle Menomonee-
