SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Recent scientific evidence shows increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively active gases which are contributing to a gradual warming of the earth's atmosphere. EPA is working domestically and internationally to improve our understanding of the causes and effects of global climate change and to develop policy options which will enable us to limit and/or adapt to the potential warming. ------- Office Profiles Office of the Administrator Page 1-11 SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES CONT. STRATOSPHERIC OZONE DEPLETION Depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer, which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, is a serious environmental issue. The United States is now working to implement the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, an international agreement which seeks to freeze and eventually halve global production and use of ozone depleting substances by 1998. TRANSBOUNDART MOVEMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE As a result of the Increased U.S. requirements for safe and environmentally sound disposal, Interest in exporting hazardous waste has risen. These interests are manifested by increased activity in Congress and in the international arena through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Congressional action on the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act reauthorization appears likely in 1989. The schedule for completion of the OECD and the UNEP Conventions is late 1988 and March 1989, respectively. These activities will impact the export program. US-CANADA NEGOTIATIONS ON AIR QUALITY ACCORD The United States and Canada agree that acid deposition is a serious transboundary environmental problem. Discussions regarding an accord to address this issue have taken place as part of implementing the recommendations of the US-Canada Special Envoys Report on Acid Rain. These discussions are expected to continue soon after the new Administration is established. SAN DIEGO/TIJUANA SEWAGE PROBLEM Problems with raw sewage flowing from Tijuana into U.S. waters have continued since the 1930's, but are now reaching critical proportions due to the rapid expansion of Tijuana in the last decade. In 1989 the Agency will address decisions on inclusion of budget funds in FY1990 and FY1991 for EPA to begin design of long-term solutions or whether to provide funds to the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) for design of solutions. US-USSR ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENT In May 1972, the US and USSR Heads of State signed an Agreement on Cooperation in Environmental Protection. EPA, as Executive Agency to that Agreement, will host the 12th Joint Committee Meeting in Washington. A schedule for the meeting must be decided in early 1989. ------- Office Profiles Office of the Administrator Page 1-12 OFFICE OF REGIONAL OPERATIONS - «M> - ADMINISTRATOR DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR Associate Administrator for Regional Operations Agencywide Technology Transfer Staff LEADERSHIP RobCahlU Associate Administrator Formerly Special Assistant to the Administrator, Rob Cahlll was appointed as Associate Adminis- trator in 1986.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator.WilliamRuckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides were retained individually under the management of commissioners. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The organizational history of the Office of the Administrator has always reflected the personal management style of the Administrator. In 1970, the Office of the Administrator Included Public Affairs, Legislative Liaison, International Activities and Equal Opportunity. In 1971, Legislative Liaison changed its name to Legislation emphasizing its role in developing and reviewing legislative proposals. In 1971, there was the addition of a fifth staff office, the Office of Federal Activities. It was designed to oversee environmental impact statements and the implementation of environmental policies in Federal agencies. In 1972, Equal Opportunity was reorganized functionally to the Office of Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and involved itself in environmental initiatives in the Washington, D.C.community. The Office existed for two years before it returned to the standard equal opportunity functions and was retitled Civil Rights in 1974. The Science Advisory Board was added in 1975 to provide expert and independent advice to the Administrator on a broad spectrum of scientific, technical, and policy matters." The Office of General Counsel Joined the Admlnstrator's Office from the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel in 1975 and remained until 1981. In 1975, the Office of Regional and Intergovernmental Operations was formed, drawing some of its Intergovernmental functions from Legislation. The Office of Administrative Law Judges was added, the result of a government-wide management decision - the purpose of which was to ease the workload on the courts from Federal agencies. The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization was created in 1977 from functions assigned to Planning and Management and Civil Rights. In 1978, the Office of Public Affairs signified its new role in educating the public to environmental Issues when it retitled itself Public Awareness. Separate from the Public Awareness existed Press Services which provided the traditional press role for the Administrator. Press Services existed from 1979 to 1981. In order to provide an increased independence for the two operations, the Office of Regional and Intergovernmental Operations split Into Intergovernmental Relations and Regional Liaison in 1979. In 1980, the Office of Inspector General was added. The Inspector General Act of 1978, required over twelve Departments and Agencies, Including EPA, to establish independent Inspector Generals (IG) to investigate mismanagement. The IG left the Office of Administrator in 1983 to be on par organization- ally with the Assistant Administrators. In 1981. several name changes occurred: Public Awareness reverted to Public Affairs, recomblned with Press Services and returned to the standard Public Affairs function; Legislation was retitled Congres- sional Liaison; Intergovernmental Relations was retitled Intergovernmental Liaison; Regional Liaison was abolished, with its duties transferred to a Special Assistant to the Administrator; and the Office of General Counsel was transferred to Legal and Enforcement Counsel as a part of a major reorganization of the Agency's enforcement function. ------- Office Profiles Office of the Administrator Page 1-17 A reorganization In 1983 brought about the first streamlining of the Administrator's Office. All external functions: Public Affairs, Federal Activities, Congressional Liaison, and Intergovernmental Liaison were combined under a new Assistant Administrator for External Affairs. The regional and International functions were elevated to Associate Administrator status. PRESENT ORGANIZATION The structure of the Office of the Administrator has been stable since 1983. It contains four staff offices: Science Advisory Board, Administrative Law Judges. Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization and Civil Rights, and two Associate Administrators: Regional Operations and International Activities. ------- ADMINISTRATION & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ------- OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION AND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Program Operations Support Staff I Office of Administration Management and Organization Division Facilities Management and Services Division Grants Administration Division Procurement and Contracts Manage- ment Division Environmental Health and Safety Division Assistant Administrator for Administration and Resources Management Office of the Comptroller Budget Division Financial Management Division Resource Management Division Office of Administration Cincinnati, Ohio Office of Information Resources Management Program Systems Division Information Management and Services Division Administrative Systems Division Personnel Management Division Contracts Management Division Computer Services and Systems Division Facilities Management and Services Division Office of Administration and Resources Management RTP, N.C.

LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY The Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM) operates under the Executive Order which created the Agency In 1970. Each of its offices operates under a host of laws, regulations, and policies which govern administrative management across the Federal Government. OARM functions In direct support to the offices which manage our environmental statutes. ------- Office Profiles Office of Administration and Resources Management Page 2-3 SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES NEW HEADQUARTERS FACILITY/PROJECT 1992 An effort is underway In the Office of Administration to plan and acquire a new Headquarters facility by 1992 when the current leases expire. This will also involve moving approximately 6000 employees. The General Services Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and House and Senate Committees have supported the need for a consolidated facility. Disagreement remains on the method of acquisition; whether the area considered for location should be the District of Columbia only or the wider metropolitan area; and whether a federal site or open competition should be used. EPA is taking a proactive stance to assure that its needs and requirements are well defined and will be met. REGIONAL SUPERFUND CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT The volume of Superfund contracting significantly increased with the passage of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. To manage this increase, the Agency has developed a strategy to decentralize the Superfund contracting program. Decentralization will occur by breaking up large, national, centrally-managed contracts into multiple, regionally-based contracts. Congress and the General Accounting Office are aware of how important decentralization is to the Agency's Superfund success and they are carefully watching the process. To meet the goal a comprehensive planning, re- cruitment and development program will be required in each region to attract and retain experienced procurement staff and business managers. BUILDING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Public interest in environmental quality continues to grow, as evidenced by many recent pieces of environmental legislation. However, national concern over the budget deficit and growing demands on state resources have constrained traditional sources of funding for environmental programs. The Agency has an effort underway to increase private sector involvement in environmental projects through identifying the impediments to successful "partnerships," and exploring alternative types of financing arrangements for states and communities.' ------- Office Profiles Office of Administration and Resources Management Page 2-4 RESOURCES FY1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 400 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 2000 1000 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 o Dollars have increased to support the steady rise in our infrastructure costs. o However, the Operating Program and Superfund dollars are reduced slightly from FY 1988 to FY 1989. o Since FY 1985, the workyear increases have been primarily to support the expanding Superfund program.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides to be retained Individually under the management of commissioners. The order also designated three Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The Office of Planning and Management Is the organizational root of today's Office of Administration and Resources Management. With inherited staff from the Department of Health and Human Services' Environmental Health Service and the Environmental Control Administration, the Office of Planning and Management undertook the development and management of the Agency's goals in policy,' resources and administration. This Initial management function contained four offices: Administra- tion, Audit, Resources Management, and Planning and Evaluation. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The organizational evolution of the Office of Administration and Resources Management and the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation are inseparable. In EPA's eighteen year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1981, split from 1981 to 1983, and transferred functions during a reorganization in 1983. The evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at the time. A brief overview of this history follows. In 1971, a permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical programs were realigned.under two Assistant Administrators and the Assistant Administrators for the three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Planning and Management was officially established at the Assistant Administrator level. Specifically, the Office developed the Agency's first planning and evaluation, budget, personnel and information systems. It managed archives, grant and contracting policy, and adminstrative support services. The Planning and Management function stayed virtually intact for ten years with organizational changes limited to a minor name change for the Office of Administration to Office of Management and Agency Services In 1977 and the transferring of Audit responsibilities to the Administrator's Office in 1979. In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Planning and Management as well as Enforcement and Compliance. This reorganization significantly altered the structure of the Agency's administrative management functions. The Office of Planning and Man- agement was split into two primary AAships. The new Office of Administration was composed of five offices: Administration, Fiscal and Contracts Management, Management Information and Support Services, and Administrative units In RTP and Cincinnati. The new Office of Policy and Resources Management also consisted of five offices: Comptroller, Policy Analysis, Management Systems and Evaluations, Standards and Regulations, and Legislation. Two years later, in 1983, another reorganization took place. The AAship of Administration inherited the Comptroller function from the AAship of Policy and Resources Management. The resultant AAship is the present day Office of Administration and Resources Management which now provides a focal point for Integrated financial management. The AAship of Policy and Resources Management was streamlined and refocused with the loss of both its Comptroller and Legislative functions, and was retitled the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation. ------- Office Profiles Office of Administration and Resources Management Page 2-25 PRESENT ORGANZATION The 1983 reorganization created today's AAship for Administration and Resources Management. It contained five components: Adminstration, Information Resources Management, Comptroller, Ad- ministration Cincinnati, and Administration and Resources Management RTF. In 1984, based on a National Academy of Public Administration recommendation, a sixth office was added, the Office of Human Resources Management. ------- ENFORCEMENT & COMPLIANCE MONITORING ------- Section 3 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING National Enforcement Investigations Center Denver, Colo.

Enforcement activity may include administra- tive, cMl or criminal action under all of the following statutes: Clean Air Act Clean Water Act Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act Safe Drinking Water Act Toxic Substances Control Act Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Title III National Environmental Policy Act Rivers and Harbors Act of 1898 Noise Control Act of 1972 SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE AND DETERRENCE . The management systems used to direct arid evaluate program performance on all levels. Federal, State and local, must focus activities on the most significant violators. Innovative publicity and outreach techniques regarding enforcement actions are essential to obtaining maximum deterrence. THE STATE/EPA ENFORCEMENT RELATIONSHIP While federal environmental statutes stipulate that States should be the primary implementers and enforcers once their programs are federally approved, those same statutes also leave ultimate enforcement responsibility with EPA. As a result, enforcement is one of the most sensitive aspects of the State/EPA relationship. Attention to the nature of that relationship, and the techniques employed to assure that it remains an effective one remain extremely important. SUPERFUND: EXPEDITING PRIVATE PARTY CLEANUPS The Agency's management of its Superfund program to achieve remedial actions at hazardous waste sites has been criticized for a perceived lack of a strong enforcement program to compel Potentially Responsible Party cleanups. The issue involves considerations affecting the use of Section 106 inj unctive authority, and recent efforts to achieve a better balance of Fund and enforcement authorities in securing cleanups. DEVELOPMENT AND STATUS OF EPA'S CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM The Criminal Enforcement Program is approaching maturity and entering into a second phase in its development. The current phase of the program's development has emphasized the importance of continuing good working relationships with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice and others. Key aspects of the next phase of the program's development need to be set out for consideration. ORGANIZATION OF EPA'S ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM The organizational structure of EPA's enforcement program has been the subject of much discussion. The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring is reviewing the current structure and is developing several organizational alternatives. ------- Office Profiles Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Page 3-3 RESOURCES FY 1983 - FY 1 989 OPERATING PLANS in Z o 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 DC < LU DC O 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 0 0 Resources have Increased steadily reflecting the Agency's emphasis on using the new enforcement authorities in hazardous waste, drinking water and water quality areas.

Office of the General Counsel Page 4-11 INITIAL ORGANIZATION EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal environmental activities into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides were retained individually under the management of commissioners. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The organizational evolution of the General Counsel and Enforcement functions in EPA are insepa- rable. In EPA's 18 year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1975, split from 1975 to 1980,.combined from 1980 to 1983 and split again. The evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at the time. A brief overview of this history follows. In 1971, the first permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical programs were realigned undertwo Assistant Administrators and Assistant Administrators for the three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel delegated its standard setting responsibility to the program offices. The resultant organization was the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel. This AAship contained three offices: General Counsel, Water Enforcement and General Enforcement. In 1975, the Office of General Counsel, including the Offices of Regional Counsel, were transferred from the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel to the Office of the Administrator and therein established a separate staff office. The enforcement function retained its AA status and was retitled the Office of Enforcement. In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Enforce- ment and General Counsel as well as Planning and Management. The Office of Enforcement was abolished with a majority of its responsibilities being delegated to the program offices. The Office of Legal Enforcement Counsel (OLEC) was established absorbing the Office of General Counsel from the Administrator's Office. OLEC's scope included all activities of the General Counsel and all Agencywide enforcement activities. The Office of General Counsel retained its separate identity within OLEC. Later that same year in an effort to further clarify the roles of the program offices versus that of OLEC, the Administrator determined that all attorneys and their functions should be transferred from the program offices to the Office of Enforcement counsel within OLEC. Under this organizational configuration, the program offices would conduct inspections, issue permits, determine technical violations up to the point of adjudication, at which time OLEC would take the technically completed casework to the hearing or litigation phase. PRESENT ORGANIZATION Two years later, in 1983, the Agency reversed its decision and separated General Counsel from Enforcement Counsel, by eliminating the Associate Administrator's position for OLEC. For the first time, the General Counsel became a Presidential appointee confirmed by the U.S. Senate as an Assistant Administrator. The decision cited the need to clarify and separate the very distinct types of legal activities General Counsel and Enforcement perform. Under this organizational configuration, the Office of General Counsel would provide senior Agency managers with legal advice on specific matters; be the source of general legal policy regarding statutory interpretation, standards and regulations development; assist in the drafting of legislation; and represent the Agency in defensive litigation. The new enforcement ------- Office Profiles Office of the General Counsel Page 4-12 office, named the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring, would provide development of Agencywide policies and operating procedures for civil and criminal enforcement of EPA's standards and regulations; assurance of the quality and consistency of offensive litigation across all media; and legal assistance to program offices with regard to case development, administrative actions, and compliance activities. Since 1983, the General Counsel and Enforcement Counsel have remained separate organizational entities. Under the prior OLEC organizational structure as well as under the current structure, the Office of General Counsel has had supervisory responsibilities over the Offices of Regional Counsel. ------- Office Profiles Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Page 3-14 8 - 10D Emergency Temporary Restraining Orders 8-16 Employment Shifts and Loss 8-26 Administrative Enforcement: Agency Representation in Hearings and Signing of Consent Agreements (Subtitle I) 8 - 29 Settlement or Concurrence in Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions (Subtitle I) 8 - 32 Administrative Enforcement - Correc- tive Action Authority: Issuance of Orders and Signing of Consent Agreements 8 - 39 Issuing Subpoenas (Subtitle I) SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT 9 - 16A Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions 9 - 16B Criminal Enforcement Actions 4 9 - 16C .Settlement or Concurrence in Settle- ment of Civil Judicial Actions 9 - 16D Emergency Temporary Restraining Orders 9 - 33B Administrative Penalty Under Part B: Agency Representation in the Hearings, Negoti- ating and Signing of Consent Agreements and Appeals 9-35 Issuance of Administrative Orders Under Section 1423 C COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RE- SPONSE COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT (CERCLA) 14-12 Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions 14 - ISA Criminal Enforcement Actions 14 - 13C Emergency Temporary Restraining Orders 14-15 Guidelines for Use of Imminent Hazard Enforcement and Emergency Response Au- thorities 14-16 Demand Letters 14 - 29 Investigations and Evaluations of Employment TITLE m OF THE SUPERFUND AMEND- MENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT (SARA) 22 - 1 Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions 22-2 Criminal Judicial Enforcement Actions NOISE CONTROL ACT 11 - 6A Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions 11 - 6B Criminal Enforcement Actions 11 - 6C Settlement or Concurrence In Settle- ment of Civil Judicial Actions 11 - 6D Emergency Temporary Restraining Orders. _ * 11-7 Subpoenas and Oaths TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT 12 - 3A Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions 12 - 3B Criminal Enforcement Actions 12 - 3C Settlement or Concurrence in Settle- ment of Civil Judicial Actions 12 - 3D Emergency Temporary Restraining Orders 12 - 3F Imminent Hazard Actions ORGANOTIN ANTIFOULING PAINT CONTROL ACT OF 1988 25-4 Administrative Enforcement: Agency Representation In Hearings and Signing of Consent Agreements 25 - 6 Civil Judicial Enforcement Actions ------- Office Profiles Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Page 3-15 ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY I EPA Water Quality Office Air Pollution Pesticides Office Radiation Office Solid Waste Office 1970 1972 1975 Standards & Enforcement Enforcement & General Counsel to Administrator's Staff 1977 General Counsel Office of Enforcement Mobile Sources & Noise Enforcement General Enforcement to prograrpmatic offices Water Enforcement 1981 from Staff Office Associate Administrator for Legal & Enforcement Counsel 1983 General Counsel Enforcement Counsel j to Compliance Analysis and Program Opera- tions, Criminal Enforcement Counsel, and Senior Enforcement Counsel - Civil Assistant Administrator for Enforcement & Compliance Monitoring Criminal Enforcement & Special Litigation 1986 Compliance Analysis & Program Opertions NEIC Air Enforcement Water Enforcement Hazardous Waste Enforcement to Senior Enforce- ment Counsel - Civil ------- Office Profiles Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Page 3-16 INITIAL ORGANIZATION EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal environmental activites into a single agency. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the designation of Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The Office of Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel inherited compliance and enforcement components from other federal agencies. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides were retained individually under the management of commissioners. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The organizational evolution of the Enforcement and General Counsel functions in EPA are insepa- rable. In EPA's 18 year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1975, split from 1975 to 1980, combined from 1980 to 1983 and split again. The evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at the time. A brief overview of this history follows. In 1971, the first permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical programs were realigned under two Assistant Administrators and the Assistant Adminis- trators for the three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Standards and Enforce- ment and General Counsel delegated its standard setting responsibility to the categorical programs. The resultant organization was the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel. This AAship contained three offices: General Enforcement, Water Enforcement and the General Counsel. In 1975, the Office of General Counsel, including the Offices of Regional Counsel, were transferred from the Office of Enforcement and General Counsel to the -Office of the Administrator and therein established as a separate staff office. The enforcement function retained its Assistant Administrator status and was retltled the Office of Enforcement. The new Enforcement AAship contained three offices:. General Enforcement, Water Enforcement and Permits, and Mobile Source and Noise Enforcement. In 1981. EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Enforce- ment and General Counsel as well as Planning and Management. The bottomline was the Office of Enforcement was abolished (with a majority of Its responslblities being delegated to the program offices) and a new Office of Legal and Enforcement Counsel (OLEC) was established to Include the activities of the General Counsel and to oversee the direction of Agencywlde enforcement activities. The Office of General Counsel retained its separate identity within OLEC. Later that same year in an effort to further clarify the roles of the program offices versus that of OLEC, the Administrator determined that all attorneys and their functions should be transferred from the program offices to the Office of Enforcement Counsel within OLEC. Under this organizational configuration, the program offices would conduct Inspections, Issue permits and determine technical violations up to the point of adjudication, at which time OLEC would take the technically completed casework to the hearing and/or litigation phase. Two years later, in 1983, another reorganization separated General Counsel from Enforcement Counsel. The decision cited the need to clarify and separate the very distinct types of legal activites the General Counsel and Enforcement Counsel perform. The Office of General Counsel would provide senior Agency managers with traditional general counsel services, concentrating on representing the agency in defensive litigation. Enforcement, on the other hand, was charged with building strong offensive litigation across all media. The Office of General Counsel attained the organizational level of the Assistant Administrator as a result of this reconfiguration. The Enforcement Counsel evolved into the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring. ------- Office Profiles Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring Page 3-17 PRESENT ORGANIZATION The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring underwent an internal reorganization in 1984. Three units were consolidated to establish the Office of Criminal Enforcement and Special Litigation under an Associate Enforcement Counsel. The new office coexisted with Associate Enforcement Counsels for Air, Water and Hazardous Waste. In 1986. OECM underwent a further internal reorganization. The Associate Enforcement Counsels for Air, Water and Hazardous Waste were consolidated under a single Senior Enforcement Counsel with those media-related Counsels reestablished as divisions. A new division for Pesticides and Toxics was established within this structure. The Office of Criminal Enforcement and Special Litigation was abolished and its functions were divided among a new Office of Criminal Enforcement, the Senior Enforcement Counsel - Civil, and the Office of Compliance Analysis and Program Operations. ------- POLICY, PLANNING, & EVALUATION ------- OFFICE OF POLICY, PLANNING AND EVALUATION Office of Policy Analysis •*•* **#* •• Environmental Resource Economics Division Regulatory Integration Division * - Atmospheric and Economic Analysis Division Assistant Administrator for Policy Planning and Evaluation Pollution Prevention Office Office of Standards and Regulations Information and Regulatory Systems Division Chemicals and Statistical • Policy Division Regulatory Reform Staff Office of Management Systems and Evaluation Management Systems Division Program Evaluation Division FUNCTIONS* The Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation (OPPE) provides an Agency focal point for analyzing, coordinating, and evaluating Agency policies and programs.

SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM Significant environmental gains in the future can only come about through the prevention of pollution and reduction of waste at its source. The Pollution Prevention Office, located within OPPE, has been charged with developing a strategy, in cooperation with the media programs and regional offices, that will promote and achieve pollution prevention across all media. Goals of the program are to establish source reduction as a major theme, support the initiation and development of state and local programs, create incentives for preventing pollution at the source, and develop reliable indicators of progress in waste reduction. GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE There is scientific consensus that increases in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and others, will result in global warming. Substantial scientific uncertainties remain about the timing and magnitude of any global warming, but there is agreement that higher temperatures could have several significant economic, environmental, and societal consequences. In cooperation with other agencies, international organizations, and other countries, EPA will be'engaged in scientific assessment, the study of impacts of climate change, and analysis of policy and technological control options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT Agricultural activity can affect environmental quality in several ways, such as erosion of soil, contamination of surface and ground waters, damage to wetlands and other critical habitats, and pesticide exposures. EPA and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) have several initiatives underway to protect surface and ground waters from agricultural non-point source pollution. The Office of Water is working with the Soil Conservation Service to implement section 319 of the Water Quality Act, which requires states to develop a de tailed strategy to address non-point source problems. The Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substanci s and the Office of Water have proposed a cross-program initiative to protect ground water from pesticide contamination (Agricultural Chemicals in Ground Water Strategy).

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides to be retained individually under the management of commissioners. The order also designated three Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The Office of Planning and Management Is the organizational root of today's Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation. With inherited staff from the Department of Health and Human Services' Environ- mental Health Service and the Environmental Control Administration, the Office of Planning and Management undertook the development and management of the Agency's goals in policy, resources management and administration. This initial management function consisted of four offices: Admini- stration, Audit, Resources Management and Planning and Evaluation. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The organizational evolution of the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation and the Office of Administration and Resources Management are inseparable. In EPA's eighteen year history, these two functions were combined from 1970 to 1981, split from 1981 to 1983, and transferred functions during a reorganization in 1983. The evolution reflects the management preference of the Administrator at the time. A brief overview of this history follows. In 1971, a permanent organizational structure for EPA was announced. The five principal categorical programs were realigned under two Assistant Administrators and the Assistant Administrators for the three functional areas were retained. At this time, the Office of Planning and Management was officially established at the Assistant Administrator level. Specifically, the Office developed the Agency's first planning and evaluation, budget.'personnel and information systems. It managed archives, grant and contracting policy, and administrative support services. In 1981, EPA underwent an extensive reorganization which affected the functional areas of Planning and Management as well as Enforcement and Compliance. The Planning and Management function was split, creating the Office of Administration and the Office of Policy and Resources Management. That Office of Policy and Resources Management is the precursor to today's Office of Policy. Planning and Evaluation. It was created from planning, evaluation and resource functions inherited from the Office of Planning and Management. Legislative functions were Inherited from the Office of the Adminstrator. This new Office of Policy and Resources Management was organized with five major components: Comptroller, Policy Analysis, Management Systems and Evaluation, Standards and Regulations, and Legislation. Two years later, in 1983, another reorganization took place. The AAship for Policy, Planning and Resources Management's legislative function was transferred to a new AAship, Office of External Affairs. Its resources (or budget) function was transferred to the AAship for Administration (retitled at this time the Office of Adminstration and Resources Management). PRESENT ORGANIZATION As a result of the 1983 reorganization, the Office of Policy, Planning and and Resources Mana Cement was streamlined creating the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation, consisting of three offices: Management Systems and Evaluation, Policy Analysis, and Standards and Regulations. A new of Pollution Prevention Office was proposed in 1988. ------- EXTERNAL AFFAIRS ------- Section 3 EXTERNAL RELATIONS MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL STATUTES ACT Clean Air Act Environmental Research, Devel- opment, and Demononstratlon Authorization Act Federal Water Pollution Control Act/Clean Water Act Ocean Dumping/Marine Protec- tion.

While technically many of these statutes have expired, provisions included in annual appropriations bills establish the means by which these statutes continue to be effective. Expired statutory authorization does not automatically indicate that legislative action on reauthorlzatlon will be undertaken in the next session of Congress. ------- Office Profiles Office of External Affairs Page 6-2 SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES SECTION 309 OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT The 1969 National Environmental Policy Act requires Federal agencies to prepare detailed statements of the environmental effects of their major actions. Section 309 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to review and comment on the environmental impacts of all Federal department or agency legislation, newly authorized Federal projects and Federal regulations. If any such action is deemed unsatisfactory from the standpoint of public health or welfare or environmental quality, the Administrator may refer the issue to the Council on Environmental Quality. EPA's comments are made public at the conclusion of each review process. EPA INDIAN PROGRAM EPA is working to include the Indian Program in the operating guidance and budget of all Agency programs and to amend the remainder of the Agency's authorizing legislation to establish the handling of Indian reservations in a manner equivalent to States. Three authorizing laws have been amended. However, gaps concerning Indian lands in other laws prevent effective environmental protection in the areas of air pollution, solid and hazardous waste disposal and pesticide control. FEDERAL/STATE RELATIONS Increasingly, the Congress has assigned responsibilities to States for the management of national programs, without lessening EPA's oversight responsibilities. In addition. States are frequently becoming the primary financiers of environmental programs. As a result, responsible management of environmental activities requires that EPA and the States develop more effective working relationships. Over the last several years, the States and EPAhave developed a number of institutions and techniques to promote cooperation and environmental partnership. These efforts are growing and their maintenance is essential to EPA's ability to fulfill its mission. THE EPA FEDERAL FACILITIES COMPLIANCE PROGRAM EPA has established a Federal Facilities Compliance Program in the Office of Federal Activities to ensure that facilities or lands owned or operated by the Federal government achieve and maintain compliance with environmental laws in the most cost-effective and timely manner. The program focuses its efforts in three primary areas: (1) compliance oversight; (2) technical assistance; and (3) A-106 project review. The Office of Federal Activities is in the process of completing a new agencywide Federal Facilities Compliance Strategy (the "Yellow Book") which integrates these three components into one comprehensive program. ------- Office Profiles Office of External Affairs Page 6-3 RESOURCES FY1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS O 25 20 15 10 5 0 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 400 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 The FY 1986 reduction In resources and workyears reflects the shift of the wetlands program to the Office of Water and a reduction in support of the Construction Grants program.

The immediate Office of the Administrator housed four staff offices, two of which. Public Affairs and Legislative Liaison were eventually placed within the Office of External Affairs. EVOLUTION The evolution of the Office of External Affairs is largely explained by observing the organizational development of the Office of the Administrator. From four staff offices in 1 970, the Adminstrator's Office grew to eleven in 1981. The formation of the Office of External Affairs, in 1983, was due partly to a streamlining of the Administrator's Office. A brief history follows. In 1981, the roots of the Office of External Affairs underwent changes. The Office of Public Awareness, an office whose mission included environmental education for the public, reverted to a more traditional Public Affairs Office. The Office of Legislation was reorganized and separated into a legislative division (which was transferred out of the Administrator's office to the policy office of EPA) and a Congressional Liaison office which remained in the Office of the Administrator. In 1983, a major reorganization took place in EPA affecting Management, Enforcement and General Counsel and the Staff Offices to the Administrator. The Office of External Affairs was created combining all the external relating functions reporting to the Administrator: Public Affairs, Federal Activites, Office of Congressional Liason and Intergovernmental Liason. PRESENT ORGANIZATION e^ Office of External Affairs has reorganized internally three times since 1983. In 1984, Legislative Analysis was established as a fifth office. At about the same time, the Office of Intergovernmental Liason was renamed the Office of Public and Private Liaison reflecting it's new role of coordinating with the private sector. In 1986. The Office of Public and Private Sector Liaison was retitled the Office of Community and Intergovernmental Relations. This change reflects increased emphasis on community involvement. The current structure of the Office of External Affairs contains five offices: Public Affairs, Federal Activities, Legislative Analysis, Community and Intergovernmental Relations, and Congressonal Liai- son. ------- INSPECTOR GENERAL ------- Section 7 OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL Office of Audit Operations Staff Planning and Resources Management Staff Technical Assis- tance Staff Field Divisions INSPECTOR GENERAL Office of Investigations Field Divisions Office of Management and Technical Assessment Tech.

John served as the Assistant Inspector General for Investigations at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and was a Special Agent and Special Agent Supervisor with the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1971 to 1981. He earned his B.S. from Kings College, Wilkes Barre, PA and M.P.A. from the University of Maryland. LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY!^ The Inspector General Act of 1978 provided for the statutory establishment of Offices of Inspector General in 12 departments and agencies including EPA. The Act consolidated Investigative and audit resources in independent organizations headed by Inspectors General. The law provides for the independence of the Inspectors General in initiating and coordinating audits and investigations in their respective agencies. It also requires them to report their findings to agency management and Congress. Statutory Inspectors General, as In EPA, are nonpartisan professionals, appointed by the President and can only be removed by the President after advance written notice to Congress. The Inspector General has independent status within EPA, reporting directly to the Administrator, and is free of any undue influence or constraints. The Inspector General by law is free to report matters to Congress without restrictions or influence by Agency management, and has the authority to issue subpoenas, obtain access to any Agency materials, report serious or flagrant problems to Congress, select and appoint OIG employees Including SES officials, and enter into contracts for services and support.. ISSUES^ The following are major issues which were the subject of completed audit reports recently issued by the Office of the Inspector General. They will continue to be important areas of our focus in the future. PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTS MANAGEMENT In the past two years, OIG audits identified significant problems with EPA's contracting policies and procedures which have left EPA vulnerable. These problem areas transcend all program areas. Specifically, deficiencies were identified in a number of areas: o Contracting process is unresponsive to program needs o Contracting process Is lengthy o Lack of adequate competition o Unreasonableness of costs o Inadequate monitoring by EPA contracting and project officers These issues are adversely affecting EPA's programs and are causing the Agency to spend more on contractural services than may be necessary. In response to our audit reports, EPA has moved toward improving its contracting practices. During FY1989, OIG will be performing followup reviews to assess the Agency's progress in achieving Improvements in the contracting area. SUPERFUND PROGRAM Since the passage of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the number and size of the contracts and assistance agreements are increasing very rapidly. At the same time the number of program components which could benefit from internal audits has also increased substantially. Past audits of the Superfund program have repeatedly found that the Agency's management of Superfund needed Improvement, particularly in the following areas: ------- Office Profiles Office of the Inspector General Page 7-3 o An accurate and reliable management information system o Effective managerial oversight to assure projects are proceeding in an efficient, effective and timely manner For FY 1989, OIG resources will be used to fulfill the statutory audit requirements and conduct audits of the contracting function in the removal and remedial program areas. EPA'S ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES Maintaining a high level of compliance with environmental laws and regulations is one of the Agency's most Important goals. Over the past few years OIG has audited a number of EPA's enforcement programs and found that EPA and delegated agencies (e.g., States, local governments) need to put forth a more concerted effort to ensure compliance. Our audits have disclosed improvements are needed in: o Refinement of strategies to identify violators o Timely and appropriate enforcement against violators o Calculation and assessment of penalties During FY 1989, OIG resources will be used to conduct an audit of the Agency's negotiation of fines and penalties to determine if sufficient controls have been established by the EPA program offices and whether the Agency is operating within these controls. CONSTRUCTION GRANTS EPA's wastewater treatment construction grant program is the largest single program the Agency administers. Currently, there are more than 6,000 active construction grants representing more than $29 billion of unaudited Federal funds at various State and local agencies across the country. EPA provides grants to municipal agencies to assist in financing the construction of wastewater treatment plants. During the last two years, OIG has issued more than 400 reports which questioned more than $120 million of claims related to such areas as:.(l) unsupported costs; (2) claims for equipment not needed or facilities never built; and (3) engineering problems preventing timely completion or proper operation of the plant. During fiscal 1988 our office questioned almost $27 for every $1 we expended for such audits. Agency officials sustained 84 percent of our costs questioned and indicated they would be recovering or making better use of some $80 million of Federal funds. Because audits are generally performed after the project is completed, problems are often not surfaced until millions of dollars are spent. The OIG Early Warning System is a program which reviews projects before construction begins to identify problems and stop ineffective expenditure of funds. Last year our early warning reviews resulted in the Agency reallocating $12 million from three projects to other projects that will better use the funds to meet Agency goals of improving water quality and protecting public health. ASBESTOS All forms of airborne asbestos have been found to be of concern in human health, and cause Irreversible diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Over the past two years we have conducted a number of audits of EPA's asbestos program. OIG found: o Delegated states and local agencies were not performing inspections of asbestos demolition/ renovation projects in accordance with EPA's enforcement strategy. o Asbestos-in-School Rule needs additional requirements and strengthening to adequately protect students and employees from asbestos hazards. o Procedures need to be revised to ensure that schools with the most severe health hazards and the most need receive loans and grants for asbestos abatement projects. The Agency is in the process of taking action to correct these deficiencies. These audits were the first of a series of audits. During FY 1989, we will continue our audit effort in this area. ------- Office Profiles Office of the Inspector General Page 7-4 HAZARDOUS WASTE Last year the OIG issued two reports in the area of exports of hazardous waste which received international attention. In one nationwide audit we reported that hundreds of tons of hazardous waste were exported to other countries without the required notification to the Agency. Exporters could disregard EPA regulations with little chance of detection because the Agency had not established a monitoring program to spot-check international shipments with the Customs Service. Another audit showed that a plan to export up to 250,000 tons of Philadelphia's incineration ash to Panama where it was to be used as a road bed through a wetlands would have created significant potential danger to human health and the environment. These reports received widespread attention because they came at a time when Congress, public interest groups and foreign governments were becoming concerned about shipments of hazardous waste from industrialized nations to less developed countries that would not properly dispose of the waste. Some of the areas we plan to continue reviewing during FY 1989 are: o Management of remedial cleanups o Removals of hazardous waste o Immediate response actions o Alternative or innovative treatment technology CONTRACTOR AND EMPLOYEE INTEGRITY The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has identified indicators of fraud by contractors in the form of bid rigging, cost mischarging, falsification of tests, product substitution, and false labor charges. OIG has recently identified schemes to bribe inspectors to stay away from or overlook violations of EPA- regulated asbestos-removal projects. OIG has also investigated false charges and illegal practices in contracts for the removal of hazardous wastes: Since 1983, the OIG has been working with the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division investigating trends and patterns of indicators of bid rigging. As of September 30, 1988, these investigations have resulted in 42 indictments and 38 convictions on charges of bid rigging. The Office of the Inspector General has actively investigated "gray market" auto dealers and emission modification and testing facilities which illegally sell, modify, or test imported cars that have been falsely certified to meet Federal standards. Future investigative work will focus on: o Charges for phantom employees and fraud in performance bonds on EPA-funded construction projects. o Laboratory time shifting in Superfund work. o Reimbursement for banned pesticides. o Embezzlement by EPA employees.

The Agency designated an Assistant Administrator for Planning and Management in 1970 and all audit activities were conducted from that vantage'point. PRESENT ORGANIZATION The Inspector General Act of 1978 provided for the establishment of Offices of the Inspector General which would consolidate existing investigative and audit resources in independent organizations headed by an Inspector General. EPA established its Office of Inspector General in 1980. EPA's Inspector General functions through three major offices: Office of Audit; Office of Investigations and Office of Management and Technical Assessment. Nationally, there are six Divisional Inspectors General for Audit and five Divisional Inspectors General for Investigations who report to the Headquarters Office. The Inspector General receives exclusive legal advice by a Memorandum of Understanding from the Inspector General Division of the EPA Office of General Counsel. ------- WATER ------- OFFICE OF WATER Resources Management and Administration Office Assistant Administrator For Water Office of Drinking Water - Office Of Program Development And Evaluation Criteria and Standards Division State Programs Division Technical Support Office of Water Regulations and Standards Division (Cin.)

FUNCTIONS Provides Agencywlde policy, guidance and direction for the Agency's drinking water, water quality, ground-water and wetlands protection programs. LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITIES SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA establishes national standards for public drinking water sys- tems from both surface and ground-water sources. These standards provide maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for pollutants in drinking water. The law also includes minimum monitoring. States are primarily responsible for enforcing the standards, with financial assistance from EPA. The Act also authorizes EPA to protect underground sources of drinking water from endangerment of contamination from the disposal of wastes by injection into deep wells. The Administrator has emergency powers to issue orders and commence civil actions if a contaminant, likely to enter public drinking water supply systems, poses a substantial threat to public health, or state or local officials have not taken adequate action. EPA is also authorized to make grants (75%) to states to carry out public water supply supervision programs. ------- Office Profiles Office of Water Page 8-3 The 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act created two new ground-water provisions. The Wellhead Protection Program is designed to protect wells that supply public water systems. The Sole Source Aquifer Demonstration Program promotes the adoption of special protective measures for critical areas within an aquifer that has been designated as a sole source for a community's or region's water supply. MARINE PROTECTION RESEARCH AND SANCTUARIES ACT (OCEAN DUMPING) The purpose of the MPRSAis to regulate intentional ocean dumping, to authorize related research, and to establish marine sanctuaries. Four federal agencies have responsibilities under the Ocean Dumping Act: EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Coast Guard. EPA has primary authority for regulating ocean disposal of all substances except dredged spoils, which are regulated under the authority of the Corps of Engineers. EPA is authorized to carry out research and demonstration activities related to phasing out sewage sludge and industrial waste dumping. A priority of the Act is to regulate the transportation for ocean dumping, and to prevent the dumping of any material in ocean waters, which would unreasonably degrade or endanger human health, welfare, or amenities, or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic potentialities. Title I establishes a permit system and assigns its administration to the EPA and the Corps of Engineers. Legislation enacted in the 100th Congress would penalize all ocean dumping after Dec. 31, 1991. The Act is also the domestic legislation for implementing the provisions of the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, a global agreement for regulating ocean dumping. Transportation from the United States of any radiological, chemical, or biological warfare agent or high- level radioactive wastes for the purpose of dumping in ocean waters, the territorial seas, or. the contiguous zone is prohibited.- Transportation of other materials (except dredged materials) for the purpose of dumping is prohibited except when authorized under a permit issued by the EPA Administrator. FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT (CLEAN WATER ACT) The Clean Water Act is the principal law governing pollution in the Nation's water-ways. The objective of the Act is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. Two goals are established: zero discharge of pollutants and, as an interim goal and where possible, water quality that is both "fishable" and "swimmable." The Act authorizes Federal financial assistance for municipal sewage treatment plant construction. Under Title II, $59 billion has been authorized for the Federal Construction Grants Program since 1972; funding will cease with the authorization for FY 1990. Title VI, provided in the 1987 Amendments, authorizes $8 billion in grants to capitalize State Water Pollution Control Revolving Funds. Monies used for wastewater treatment facilities will be repaid to a state, to be recycled for future wastewater treatment projects. The Act is a technology-forcing statute that places rigorous demands on industries and municipalities to achieve ever higher levels of pollution abatement. States are required to establish water quality standards^ Nationwide standards are established by EPA for certain categories of industries, with requirements tailored to the availability and economic feasibility of control technology. All point source discharges into the Nation's waters are deemed unlawful unless specifically authorized by a permit. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits specify the types and amounts of pollutants that may be discharged. ------- Office Profiles Office oj"Water Page 8-4 SYNOPSIS OFMAJOR ISSUEStt GROUNDWATER The two key Issues concern (1) the advisability of EPA taking a more proactive position in terms of proposing comprehensive groundwater legislation and; (2) whether the Agency should stay with our current policy direction in the groundwater program which suggests that groundwater protection decisions should be tailored according to the use, value, and vulnerability of the actual source. This policy of differential protection has been opposed on one hand by various environmental groups who see it as too lenient and by OMB on the other hand which supports the policy but would like to see less groundwater protected by Federal programs. STATE FUNDING SHORTFALLS States are facing a major funding shortfall in terms of Federal grant resources to implement new requirements under the recent amendments to both the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts. In addition. States will be losing, after 1990, their ability to set aside construction grants funds for management of projects. We need to ensure that States have adequate resources to meet these major new requirements. SURFACE WATER CONTROLS The recent amendments to the Clean Water Act Imposed major new requirements, many with stringent deadlines, in such areas as toxic controls, sludge, nonpolnt source management, and water quality standards. Significant decisions in many of these areas will need to be made during 1989 if we are to maintain our momentum in controlling surface water pollution. WETLANDS. PROTECTION The Wetlands Policy Forum, commissioned by the Administrator and comprised of environmental, industry, and government groups will issue its final report in mid-November. The report will lay out, a series of broad national recommendations on wetlands protection that could be the catalyst for reexamlnlng how EPA and other Federal agencies Implement wetlands programs. DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS Major regulatory decisions on lead, coliform, and radon In drinking water will be required in 1989 as EPA implements the requirements of the 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. These regulations are expected to Impose significant additional costs on the regulated community, especially small communities. COASTAL PROTECTION The events of last summer In our coastal areas (medical waste, sludge dumping, beach closures, etc.) highlighted the need to address coastal pollution issues. In order to avoid a repeat of last summer, a number of significant actions need to be considered over the next 4-6 months. ------- Office Profiles Office of Water Page 8-5 RESOURCES FY 1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 400 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 cc < LU CC o 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 o o Resources have steadily Increased since FY 1983.

Management s< Water Pesticides & Toxics Solid Waste Solid Vteste fcv ------- Office Profiles Office of Water Page 8-24 / INITIAL ORGANIZATION EPA was created through an Executive reorganization plan designed to consolidate a number of federal enviromental activities into a single agency. The organizational roots for the Office of Water were the Department of Interior (water pollution contol program) and Department of Health Education and Welfare (drinking water program). In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which the five principal programs: water, air, radiation, pesticides and solid waste were retained under the management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow time to consider the eventual organizational structure. EPA, at this time, also established a presence in the newly organized federal regional structure which divided the country into ten regions. FURTHER REORGANIZATION The first few years of the Agency were marked by a plethora of environmental laws and regulations which catalyzed a realignment of the agency's structure in 1972 and again in 1974. EPA set up its first permanent organizational structure in 1971, designating three functional Assistant Administrators for Research and Monitoring. Planning and Management, and Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel and dividing the five principal programs between two Assistant Administrators; one for Catergorical programs ; the other for Media Programs. In 1972, Media programs which contained all the air and water functions were reorganized under an Assistant Administrator for Air and Water Programs. In 1974, the Water program, redirected by the Clean Water Act, was split from the air program and combined with pesticides and toxics, functions. The Water program resided within the Water and Hazardous Materials AAship until 1979. With "the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 the water function split from the Water and Hazardous Materials AA ship and combined with the solid waste program to form the Office of Water and Waste Management. PRESENT ORGANIZATION The Office of Water became an AAship unto itself in 1981 due more to the passage of CERCLA (Superfund) than any increased water responsiblity. The Superfund legislation required the clean up program to be headed up by an Assistant Administrator, and it functionally made sense to combine the RCRA solid waste program with the CERCLA clean up program. The 1981 Office of Water AAship contained four principal offices which are still here today: Office of Drinking Water, Office of Water Regulations and Standards, Office of Enforcement and Permits, and Office of Water Program Operations (renamed Municipal Pollution Control). In 1984, two new offices were added to the AAship: the Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection and the Office of Groundwater Protection. A new Wetlands Protection Office was added in 1986 bringing the total to seven separate offices within the Water AAship. ------- SOLID WASTE & EMERGENCY RESPONSE ------- Section- OFFICE OF SOLID WASTE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE Federal Facilities Hazardous Waste Compli- ance Office Assistant Administrator for Solid Waste and Emergency Response Office of Waste Programs Enforcement CERCLA Enforcement Division RCRA Enforcement Division Office of Program Management and Technology Office of Underground Storage Tanks - Implementation Division Policy and Standards Division Office of Solid Waste Waste Management Division Permits and State Programs Division Characterization and - Office of Program Management and Support Office of Policy, Planning and Information Waste Minimization Staff Municipal Solid Waste Management Program Office of Emergency and Remedial Response Emergency Response Division Hazardous Site Control Division Hazardous Site Office of Program Management Evaluation Division ------- Office Profiles Office of Solid Waste and Emergency .Response Page 9-2 11EADERSHI Jonathan Z.

Q Coordinates the Technology Demonstration Program and provides technology assistance and policy development. Q Develops and manages an Agency-wide hazardous substances emergency preparedness program. Q Develops and implements community right-to-know, preparedness, and prevention provisions of Superfund. ------- Office Profiles Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response Page 9-3 fAUTHORITIE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT In 1965 Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the first Federal law to require safeguards and encourage environmentally sound methods for disposal of household, municipal, commercial, and industrial refuse. Congress amended this law in 1970 by enacting the Resource Recovery Act and again in 1976 by enacting the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The primary goals of RCRA are to: protect human health and the environment from the potential hazards of waste disposal; conserve energy and natural resources; reduce the amount of waste generated, including hazardous waste; and ensure that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner. The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) significantly expand the scope of RCRA. HSWA was created in large part in response to strongly voiced citizen concerns that existing methods of hazardous waste disposal, particularly land disposal, were not safe. RCRA is divided into several subtitles. These subtitles set forth a framework for EPA's comprehensive waste management programs; establish a system for controlling hazardous waste from generation until ultimate disposal; establish a system for controlling solid (primarily nonhazardous) waste; and, regulate toxic substances and petroleum products stored in underground tanks. COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). commonly known as Superfund, in 1980. This law provided broad Federal authority and resources to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that could endanger human health or the environment. CERCLA established a $ 1.6 billion Hazardous Substance Trust Fund to pay for remediation of abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. The law also authorized enforcement action and cost recovery from parties responsible for a release. In 1986 Congress passed the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). This law reauthorized the Superfund program for five years, and more than quintupled the size of the Trust Fund to $8.5 billion. SARA strengthened and expanded the remedial program and focused on the need for emergency preparedness and community right-to-know. SARA also established a $500 million Trust Fund, supported by a gasoline tax, to address leaks from underground storage tanks. Provisions in Title III of SARA address the Preparedness and Community Right-to-Know program. There are four major elements of this program: (1) designating State emergency response commissions (SERCs) and local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) that are responsible for developing local contingency plans; (2) requiring chemical handlers to notify SERCs and LEPCs immediately when there has been a release of a hazardous chemical; (3) requiring handlers to provide information to the LEPC and public on the chemicals they produce, use, or store; and, (4) requiring chemical handlers to report any emissions of hazardous chemicals to EPA annually. ------- Office Profiles Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response Page 9-4 J STATE CAPACITY ASSURANCE PROJECT CERCLA Section 104(c) (9) states that EPA may not provide funding for cleanups under Superfund after October 17,1989 to any state that has not submitted an "assurance" to EPA that the state has sufficient hazardous waste treatment and disposal capacity to take care of all wastes reasonably expected to be generated within its borders for the next 20 years. EPA is developing a guidance document to assist the states in preparing their plans for assuring capacity by the October deadline. NATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLAN (NCP) The NCP establishes procedures and standards for responding to releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants. Section 105 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) requires EPA to revise the NCP to incorporate changes relating to the selection of remedy process as mandated by SARA. For example, cleanups must be cost-effective and utilize permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the maximum extent practicable. In addition, SARA requires that EPA provide for substantial and meaningful State involvement in all aspects of the remedy selection process. The revised NCP also reflects changes resulting from the program's expe- rience since the last revision to the NCP in 1985. SUPERFUND REMEDIAL ACTION CONSTRUCTION IN FY 1989 The budgetary appropriation for Superfund was significantly reduced for FY 1989. This reduction in funding has been applied to the hazardous site cleanup budget. During FY 1989, critical decisions will have to be made to determine which projects will be funded and which will be delayed. SUPERFUND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION Senate and House Appropriations Committees have requested that EPA evaluate the Superfund enforcement program and provide a report by January 1,1989. This study will examine Superfund enforcement across the Regions to assess the proper role of the enforcement program in achieving the greatest number of cleanups. In addition, the report will recommend any program, policy, and management changes that will encourage enforcement settlements. RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT REAUTHORIZATION Congress revised the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), first in 1980 and again in 1984. The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) significantly expanded the scope of RCRA. During the next Congressional session, the Agency expects RCRA reauthorization to gain considerable momentum. Since HSWA was passed, a number of developments have led to increased scrutiny of solid waste management practices which are likely to be the focus of the reauthorization. Some revisions to the hazardous waste statutory provisions are also expected. FEDERAL FACILITIES Federal facilities have significant hazardous waste and hazardous substance compliance and reme- diation responsibilities that are addressed primarily through RCRA and CERCLA. Determining which statutory authority and respective process is to be used to address problems at Federal facilities is a central issue. Related to this issue is determining what the respective roles of the states and EPA should be in enforcing RCRA and CERCLA requirements. CHEMICAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (Title III of SARA) to assist local communities in identifying toxic chemicals present in the community and preparing for accidental releases of such chemicals. As a result of several emergency incidents world-wide. Congress still has concerns regarding the prevention of chemical accidents by industry and the need for a regulatory program. ------- Office Profiles Office of Solid Waste and Emergency .Response Page 9-5 RESOURCES 2000 Z 1500 g _j ^ 1000 S — 500 FY1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 QC < tu CC O 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 The resources have steadily increased to support Superfund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) programs.

EPA inherited its solid waste program from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Bureau of Solid Waste Management. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which the five principal programs: solid waste, pesticides, water, air and radiation were retained under the management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow time to consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time, EPA established a presence in the newly organized federal structure which divided the country into 10 regions. FURTHER REORGANIZATION In 1971, EPA set up its permanent organizational structure replacing its five commissioners with two Assistant Administrators: one for Air and Water Programs, the other for Categorical Programs. The solid waste program was combined with the radiation and pesticides programs under an Assistant Administrator for Categorical Programs. In the early years, the solid waste program continued to be aligned with the Categorical AAship. In 1973, this AAship made an effort to clarify its function with a more descriptive name and retitled itself the Office of Hazardous Materials Control. The 70's for EPA were characterized by heavy legislative and regulatory activity. In order to balance the workload, a major realignment of functions took place between the two AAships in 1974. EPA retained the two program AAship Structure but this time, programs for solid waste and air were combined under an Air and Waste Management AAship. . The 1976 passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act directed EPA to carry but its first large scale waste program. EPA responded with an organizational change that transferred the solid waste program from the Air and Waste Management AAship to the other AAship, Water and Hazardous Materials. In 1979, the Office of Water and Hazardous Materials emphasized RCRA's impact on the organization by relitling itself the Office of Water and Waste Management. PRESENT ORGANIZATION In 1980, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERLA or "Superfund"), mandated the establishment of an Assistant Administrator to operate the program. In 1981, EPA combined the Superfund and RCRA programs into a new AAship, the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. OSWER consisted of three offices: the Office of Solid Waste in charge of RCRA activities; the Office of Remedial Response in charge of Superfund activities; and the Office of Waste Program Enforcement responsible for enforcement activities related to both programs. The RCRA reauthorization lead to the establishment of a new office in 1985,the Office of Underground Storage Tanks. OSWER's most recent organizational addition is the Preparedness Staff established in 1986, to carry out Emergency Preparedness and Community Right-to-Know functions. ------- AIR & RADIATION ------- OFFICE OF AIR AND RADIATION Office of Program Management Operations Office of Radiation Programs Criteria and Standards Division 'Analysis and Support Division.

The Act provides emission standards for industry and for hazardous pollutants as well as National Ambient Air Quality Standards. It establishes a mobile source air pollution control program and provides for the prevention of significant deterioration of air quality in areas which have clean air. ATOMIC ENERGY ACT The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 establishes standards for land disposal of high-level radioactive waste and low-level natural and accelerator-produced radioactive waste. In addition, it directs the Agency to issue guidance on exposure to radiation, including radiation protection for occupational exposure of workers to ionizing radiation. SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986 (SARA) SARA directs the Agency to reduce the level of indoor radon exposure, assess the significance of the radon problem, and analyze the health risks associated with radon. SARA also directs the Agency to develop measurement and mitigation techniques, identify high-risk lands, and ensure that quality services are provided to the public for measurements and radon reductions. NOISE CONTROL ACT The Noise Control Act of 1972 provides for research to determine the effects of noise and ways to promote noise control and establishes noise emission standards for products distributed in commerce and transportation vehicles. It requires labeling regulations for products which emit noise capable of affecting public health.. CLEAN AIR ACT LEGISLATION (CAA) The December 31, 1987 deadline for attainment passed with many areas failing to attain the clean air standards. Continuing concerns about acid rain and the slow pace of EPA action on toxic air pollutants, have contributed to the increasing concern in Congress about amending the Clean Air Act. Repeated Congressional attempts to amend the Act since 1980 have been unsuccessful. ACID DEPOSITION (ACID RAIN) In 1989, the Agency must deal with: 1) what general policy it wants to adopt (e.g., support particular legislation or use existing Clean Air Act authorities); 2) the role of National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) research in our decision-making process; 3) decisions on petitions filed under Section 115 of the Clean Air Act; and 4) Canada. OZONE AND CARBON MONOXIDE POST-1987 NON-ATTAINMENT Most major urban areas in the United States have failed to meet the standards set under the Clean Air Act for ozone and carbon monoxide air pollution. The Act required all areas to attain these standards by the end of 1987. The Clean Air Act did not explicitly envision failure to attain after 1987. EPAhas proposed a policy to deal with this situation, and has taken other steps such as disapproval of certain State plans. In the absence of Act amendments, EPA will be under considerable pressure in 1989, including numerous lawsuits to take additional actions. ------- Office Profiles Office of Air and Radiation Page 10-4 NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARD FOR SULFUR DIOXIDE In April, 1988 after a long review, EPA proposed to reaffirm the existing national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide. This review, which is required under the Clean Air Act, was controversial, especially with groups who feel that EPA should be taking a more stringent stand against sulfur dioxide air pollution. AIR TOXICS EPA has had difficulty in setting national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, and the Agency has been severely criticized for its lack of progress. Litigation in the NESHAP area is ongoing and amendments to the Clean Air Act on air toxics are being considered. STRATOSPHERIC OZONE PROTECTION Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are widely used industrial chemicals that have been linked to ozone depletion. The Clean Air Act authorizes EPA and other agencies to conduct research related to ozone depletion and to pursue international efforts to resolve the problem. EPA has also regulated the use of CFCs in most aerosol propellants. ONBOARD REFUELING AND FUEL VOLATILITY FINAL RULES On August 19, 1987 EPA published proposed rules for onboard refueling emissions control and fuel volatility control as a major part of the ozone control program. In combination these two rules are estimated to reduce hydrocarbon emissions nationwide by about 32%. However, they involve controversial issues, especially the onboard refueling rule which has been debated in and out of the Agency for over a decade. Because of the large emission reduction potential, there is pressure on the Agency to publish final rules as soon as possible. The auto industry remains strongly opposed to the onboard rule. RADIONUCLIDE STANDARD Pursuant to a court-ordered schedule, the Agency must repropose NESHAPs or make a' decision not to regulate radionuclides for twelve source categories by the end of February 1989 and promulgate a final rule by the end of August 1989. RADON LEGISLATION EPA estimates that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year are attributable to indoor radon. In response to this health risk. Congress passed the Indoor Radon Abatement Act of 1988 which authorizes a $45 million program over three years. Key provisions of the legislation include a State grant program, technical assistance to the States, public information materials, diagnostic and remedial efforts in schools, measurement and mitigation proficiency programs, regional training centers, development of new building construction standards and Federal building studies. ------- Office Profiles Office of Air and Radiation Page 10-10 OFFICE OF AIR QUALITY PLANNING AND STANDARDS Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Stationary Source Compliance Division Air Quality Management Division •*•• •M Emissions Standard Engineering Divis Technical Suppo Division sand | ion % rt Gerald Emison Director Before becoming Director of the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards in May of 1984, Jerry Emison was Director of the Program Evalu- ation Division, in the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation.

Our air pollution program draws its organizational roots from the National Air Pollution Control Administration, transferred from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). The radiation program inherited the Bureau of Radiological Health from HEW and the Division of Radiation Protection Standards from the Atomic Energy Commision. In addition, EPA absorbed the Federal Radiation Council. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator published an organizational order in which the five principal programs - air, radiation, solid waste, water and pesticides - were retained under the management of commissioners. This was done to assure the continuity of program operations and to allow time to consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time EPA established a presence in the newly organized Federal structure which divided the nation into 10 regions. FURTHER REORGANIZATION In 1971, EPA set up its permanent organizational structure replacing its five commisioners with two Assistant Administrators: one for Air and Water Programs, the other for Categorical Programs. The responsibilities laid out in the Clean Air Act of 1970 were assigned to the Assistant Administrator for Air and Water. Radiation responsibilities were assigned to the Assistant Administrator for Categorical Programs. The radiation and air functions were combined in a 1974 realignment which resulted in an Office of Air and Waste Management. This AAship contained air, radiation, and solid waste functions along with 'a new noise program mandated by Congress in 1.972. Solid Waste management was split from the AAship in 1977 with the passage "of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The Office of Air and Waste Management was renamed in 1979 to the Office of Air, Noise and Radiation reflecting its functions. In 1982, the Office of Air, Noise and Radiation abolished its enforcement office and transferred that function to EPA's central enforcement office ( Office of Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring). At the same time the noise program was abolished because Congress ceased funding for it. PRESENT ORGANIZATION In 1983, the Office of Air, Noise and Radiation was renamed the Office of Air and Radiation, a title it retains today. With the phase out of the noise program, the program contained three offices: the Office of Air Quality and Standards, the Office of Mobile Sources and the Office of Radiation Programs. A final organizational evolution took place in 1988 when a fourth office was added. The Office of Atmospheric and Indoor Air Programs was created to handle the emerging issues of indoor air pollution, acid rain, and ozone depletion. ------- Office Profiles Office of Air and Radiation Page 10-5 RESOURCES O 250 FY 1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 oc < UJ GC O 2200 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 The resource increases represent support for new program needs in air toxics, radon, global change and ozone non-attainment.

Before assuming her current duties, Susan served as Deputy Director of the Office of Toxic Substances since 1986. Susan has a degree in economics from Colby College. THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT (TSCA) The Toxic Substances Control Act (1976) authorizes EPA to obtain information from industry on the production, use, health effects, and other matters concerning chemical substances and mixtures. If warranted aft.er considering..the costs, risks, and benefits of a substance, EPA may regulate its manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal. Pesticides, tobacco, nuclear. material, firearms and ammunition, food, food additives, drugs, and cosmetics are exempted from the Act; these products are currently handled under other laws. FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT (FIFRA) FIFRA encompasses the regulation of pesticides used in the United States and mandates a risk/benefit balancing approach to regulation. When enacted in 1947, FIFRA was administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was intended to protect consumers against fraudulent pesticide products. In 1970, EPA assumed responsibility for FIFRA which was amended in 1972 to shift its emphasis to health and environmental protection. FIFRA authorizes EPA to register pesticides and to specify the terms and conditions of their use, and remove unreasonably hazardous pesticides from the marketplace. The most recent amendments to FIFRA were passed in October 1988. EPAis also authorized to evaluate several types of special registration submissions such as Experimen- tal Use Permits and Special Local Needs Permits. In addition, FIFRA permits EPA to issue temporary exemptions to State or Federal Agencies combatting emergency conditions. SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986 (SARA) TITLE HI: EMERGENCY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW SECTION 313: TOXIC CHEMICAL RELEASE REPORTING SARA requires EPA to establish an inventory of toxic chemical emissions from certain facilities. Facilities subject to this reporting requirement are required to complete a toxic chemical release form for specified chemicals, annually on July 1, reflecting releases during the preceding calendar year. The purpose of this reporting requirement is to inform the public and government officials about releases of toxic chemicals in the environment. ------- Office Profiles Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances Page 11-3 ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT (AHERA) The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act was signed into law on October 22, 1986. The law required EPA to develop regulations'which provide a comprehensive framework for addressing asbes- tos problems in public and private elementary and secondary schools. Congress amended AHERA in 1988 to allow a reasonable timeframe for responding to the many requirements. ASBESTOS SCHOOL HAZARD ABATEMENT ACT (ASHAA) The Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984 established a program within EPA to provide financial assistance for abatement of asbestos hazards in the Nation's schools. Financial assistance is awarded on a school-by-school basis to local educational agencies to carry out projects to reduce the risk to school children or employees of inhaling asbestos fibers. The goal of the Act's loan and grant program is to provide financial assistance to localities where asbestos problems present the greatest risk and which have a demonstrated financial need. FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT (FFDCA) Under this Act, EPA sets tolerances, or maximum legal limits, for pesticide residues on food commodities marketed in the U.S. Tolerances apply to imported commodities as well as domestically produced food and animal feed. The purpose of the tolerance program is to ensure that the U.S. consumers are not exposed to unsafe food-pesticide residue levels. Before a pesticide can be registered under the separate Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act for use on a food or feed crop, EPA must either establish a tolerance, or, if appropriate, grant an exemption from the tolerance requirement. FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE AND RODENTICIDE ACT (FIFRA) AMENDMENTS OF 1988 This Act requires a substantial acceleration of the pesticide reregistration activity, imposes statutory time limits for processing certain types of pesticide registration activities, and changes EPA responsi- bilities and funding requirements for the indemnification, storage and disposal of suspended/ cancelled pesticides. It has provisions for fees to support some of these changes. Tight deadlines and the fundamental restructuring of the program required by the new legislation make this a critical issue. BIOTECHNOLOGY Powerful new techniques have been developed to manipulate genetic material. This has sparked significant public and scientific debate regarding potential risk, while commercial interests are concerned that Federal regulation may impact severely on this emerging industry. EPA will publish proposed biotechnology rules under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in November, 1988 and under FIFRA in December, 1988. FINAL RULE FARMWORKER SAFETY EPA anticipates publication of FIFRA Farmworker Safety final rules in 1989. Successful implemen- tation of worker protection standards and related product label changes will necessitate extensive communications and training to inform workers and employers about protective requirements. ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTION PROGRAM EPA must assure that pesticide use does not jeopardize endangered plant and wildlife species. At the same time, EPA wants to avoid placing unnecessary limitations on the use of many important pesticides. Balancing these responsibilities has led to the development of the Endangered Species Protection Program. ------- Office Profiles Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances Page 11-4 PESTICIDES IN GROUNDWATER Pesticides in groundwater is one of the most complex issues facing the Agency. Groundwater provides about 45% of the total water use in the U.S., as well as drinking water for nearly half of the total U.S. population. This valuable natural resource can be vulnerable to contamination by pesticides from normal agricultural use, as well as from leaks, spills or disposal of pesticides. EPA will issue a final pesticides in groundwater strategy in early 1989. DISSEMINATION AND USE OF DATA COLLECTED UNDER SECTION 313 OF THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT Under Section 313 of SARA, certain manufacturers must report releases of specific toxic chemicals to air, water and land. Congress specified over 300 toxic chemicals for which chemical-specific reports are to be submitted. EPA is responsible for compiling the reports in a National Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) and making the data available to the public. This will occur for the first time in the spring of 1989. PESTICIDE INDEMNIFICATION AND DISPOSAL EPA is responsible for carrying out the legislative mandates to indemnify and dispose of pesticides which were suspended and cancelled under the 1978 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Currently, EPA is managing indemnification, consolidation, storage and disposal of three pesticide products: 2,4,5-T/silvex, ethylene dibromide (EDB) and dinoseb. This issue is important because of the huge Federal costs (up to $150 million) to complete these activities. ASBESTOS IN PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS In the 100th Congress three bills were introduced which would have required EPA to regulate owners of p'ublic and commercial buildings.; Congressional hearings are likely as the nation's building owners, managers and workers, as well as institutional lenders and property investors, seek EPA direction regarding the uncertainties associated with exposure to asbestos materials in their buildings. A $4 million research plan concerning asbestos in public and commercial buildings is due to Congress in spring 1989. ------- Office Profiles Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances Page 11-5 RESOURCES 250 FY 1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 DC < LLJ CC o 1700 1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1 100 1000 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 FY 1984 and FY 1986 increases have been primarily for new activities under new statutes: Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984. the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 and Title III toxic release provisions.

EPA inherited portions of pesticides programs from the Departments of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services), Interior, Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order in which the five principal programs: pesticides, water, air, radiation, and solid waste were retained under the management of commissioners. This was done to assure continuity of program operations and to allow time to consider the eventual organizational structure. Also at this time, EPA established a presence in the newly organized federal regional structure which divided the country into 10 regions. FURTHER REORGANIZATION In 1971, EPA set up its permanent organizational structure replacing the commissioners with two Assistant Administrators; one for Air and Water programs, the other for Catergorical programs. The pesticides program was combined with the radiation and solid waste programs and reported directly to the Assistant Administrator for Categorical Programs. A number of factors affected EPA organizational structure in the early to mid 1970s. The times were characterized by heavy activity on the legislative front as well as promulagation of over 1500 rules and regulations. Influencing factors on organizational development included amendments to the Clean Air Act (1972); Environmental Impact Statements required by the National Environmental Policy Act; the Resource Recovery Act (1970); The Federal Environmental Pesticides Control environment; guidelines for limited control of radiation (1972); Safety Standards for Farmworkers (1974); regulation of land use (1972); and revised water pollution legislation (1972). In early years, the pesticide and toxics program continued to be aligned with the Categorical AAship. In 1973, this AAship made an effort to clarify its functions with a more descriptive name and retitled itself the Office of Hazardous Materials Control. In 1974, the Agency underwent another realignment and the pesticides and toxics program was combined with the water program under the Assistant Administrator for Water and Hazardous Materials. In 1976 theToxic Substances Control Act was passed. As a result, the Office to Toxic Substances, a staff office reporting to the AA for Water and Hazardous Materials, was elevated to Assistant Administrator status. The AAship included four Offices: Chemical Control, Program Integration, Testing and Evaluation, and Pesticide Programs. PRESENT ORGANIZATION In 1980, the Toxics AAship reorganized internally with one result being the renaming of the AAship to the Office of Pesticides and Toxics (OPTS). The reorganization served several purposes.The first was to eliminate adminstrative problems experienced under the matrix organization. Other reasons were to empahsize toxic integration by consolidating the TSCA functions under a single Office, the new Office of Toxic Substances, and finally to develop a coherent long term TSCA regulatory Strategy. To accomplish these purposes, two new staff offices were established, one for toxics integration (implem- entation) the other foi regulatory strategy. In addition to the two staff offices reporting directly to the AA, the resultant orj mization contained two program offices ( Toxic Subtances and Pesticides). In 1984, OPTS added a new Office of Compliance to enhance enforcement capability. ------- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ------- Office Profiles Office of Research and Development Page 12-4 RESOURCES V) z o FY 1981 - FY 1989 OPERATING PLANS 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 oc < W oc o 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 Resources have remained relatively stable In the Operating Program.

In 1970, EPA's first Administrator, William Ruckelshaus, published an organizational order providing for the designation of three Assistant Administrators for Planning and Management, Standards and Enforcement and General Counsel, and Research and Monitoring. The five principal categorical programs -air, water, solid wastes, radiation and pesticides were retained individually under the management of commissioners. The original structure of the Office of Research and Monitoring, precursor to today's ORD, was based in part on a research design prepared by the White House Office of Science and Technology. The initial organization was established by combining the research components of 15 separate agencies and 42 separate field installations. The resultant AAship consisted of three offices: Program Operations, Monitoring and Research. Four National Environmental Research Centers (NERCs) were created to carry out actual inhouse research and reported directly to the Assistant Administrator. FURTHER REORGANIZATION In 1971, EPA's first permanent organizational structure was announced, and the Office of Research and Monitoring was officially established. A 1973 internal ORD reorganization resulted in retitling the office as the Office to Research and Development and expanded its offices from three to five. The reorganization was based on the theory that research should be aligned with disciplines. The research function was split into Environmental Sciences which explored the discipline of cause and effects of pollution and Environmental Engineering which researched control technologies. Like its name, the Program Integration Office was created to. integrate the program's research needs with "ongoing research disciplines. Further media accountability was structured by late 1975', when fifteen labs replaced ttie NERCs. The labs reported through their respective offices instead of directly to the AA as the NERCs had done. ORD's organizational structure continued to reflect this trend when in 1975, the AAship reorganized to meet the increasing need for media related research to set standards mandated by legislation. Environmental Engineering split into two parts: Energy, Minerals and Industry researched industrial pollution and Air, Water and Land Use researched non-industrial pollution. Environmental Sciences underwent a name change to Health and Ecological Effects reflecting EPA's growing emphasis on public health. In 1976, the Carcinogen Assessment Group was created to communicate ORD's research on carcinogens to the outside research and academic communities. In 1979, ORD reorganized again, this time turning from the media approach back to the discipline approach. The emphasis on health related research continued to grow with an Office dedicated purely to that area. The next years, 1979 and 1980, saw the addition of an Exploratory Research Office created by Congressional mandate that a percentage of the agency's research would be carried out in universities. The Monitoring Office, whose purpose had always been to develop new monitoring technologies. assumed the function of quality assurance for ORD research. The 1980's have seen two changes in the major organizational framework. The Office of Regulatory Support, created in 198 5 to more closely align research with program regulatory needs, evolved in 1988 to the Office of Technology Transfer and Regulatory Support. The Technology Transfer Initiative is an Agencyvvide initiative aimed at sharing EPA research and knowledge with the Federal, state, local and private communities . Finally, the monitoring and quality assurance function was combined with a modeling function into an Office of Modeling, Monitoring Systems and Quality Assurance. ------- Office Profiles Office of Research and Development Page 12-17 PRESENT ORGANIZATION The Office of Research and Development today consists of eight offices: Research Program Manage- ment; Exploratory Research; Health Research; Technology Transfer and Regulatory Support; Environ- mental Processes and Effects Research; Environmental Engineering and Technology; Health and Environmental Assessment; and Modeling, Monitoring and Quality Assurance. ------- |
