Report on
Areawide Designation and Planning
To date, 45 agencies have been desig-
nated,, and 14 agencies have received their
gran-tsVfor the planning process of areawide
waste' treatment management. Names and
2 locations are listed in a status section. We
^xpexit to add many more agencies by the end
. of the fiscal year.
- / ""Tne 100 percent Federal funding provided
by Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act of 1972 may be reduced in Fiscal
Year 1976. Thus, we are focusing at this
time on the processes of designation and work
plan development to help agencies to receive
grants before the end of June.
We plan to keep you informed on major
policy changes, and other HQ announcements,
technical assistance services available, and
significant comment on important planning
issues. We also plan to announce newly
designated areas, and reference material to
furnish guidance in the planning process and
procedure, including availability and source
of supply.
The need to fill the growing number of
specialized positions is well recognized,
as 208 agencies increase. We, therefore,
will try to facilitate contact between
aaencies and qualified individuals.
As planning agency programs progress,
we intend to pass on to those involved in
the planning process any anency experiences
deemed useful. Although every planning area
is unique, we feel there will be enough
functional similarities for shared experiences,
in order to imnrove the chances for rapid
implementation, and to establish effective
continuing planning.

EPA POLICY NEWS
QUICK ACTION NEEDED ON 208
AREA AND AGENCY DESIGNATIONS!
The end of Fiscal Year 1975 is only three months away
This marks the end of a clear Congressional commitment to
provide funding for 208 planning activities at 100 percent
of their costs. While we expect additional funds will be
available after June 30, the percentage of the Federal share
and the total amount that will be available is not yet clear.
We urge quick action on area and agency designations and
completion of work plans, so that grant applications can be
quickly approved. Our regional offices are ready to assist you
with these tasks. Moreover, the handbooks and films described
in the "Events" section of this bulletin offer additional guidance
We must remind you that the States must assume responsibility for
meeting Section 208 requirements for all areas that are not
designated. We have high expectations for agencies that have
received their grants.
Section 208 presents an unusual opportunity. The quality of
our environmental future depends heavily on the quality of our
plans and the actions they guide.
EFFECTIVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ESSENTIAL
FOR 208 SUCCESS!
The success or failure of areawide water quality manage-
ment depends upon the understanding and support of local
communities. The agencies and officials involved with 208
planning are responsible for creating effective programs.
Guidelines already published in the Federal Register (40 CFR 105)
stress the need for public participation in designating areas and
agencies, in developing work plans, in management programs, and
in statewide implementation plans.
Establish a good program according to these minimal rules:
-Develop a public information program as soon as possible.
-Be sure this information includes water quality data and
other pertinent information.
-Provide technical and information assistance to public
groups for citizen education, community workshops,
training, and dissemination of information to communities.
-------
-Permit interested individuals to communicate directly with
the officials and designers who make critical decisions.
-Develop and maintain lists of individuals who want
information on a regular basis.
-If the state agency's procedures are less stringent,
follow EPA regulations on procedures for public
participation.
-Conduct public meetings to stimulate interest.
-When public interest is in doubt, resolve the issue
through public involvement or, if necessary, provide
alternatives.
-Give the public at least 30 days' notice prior to
meetings. Prepare detailed fact sheets on the issues
involved.
-Allow for public comment before negotiating any
settlement concerning a pollution source.
-Develop procedures to consider evidence submitted
by the public.
These measures ensure that those affected by 208 planning
have an opportunity to become involved. In the next bulletin
we will present some imaginative, successful solutions to
public participation, based on conversations with planning
agencies around the country.
RECENT EVENTS
AREA AND AGENCY DESIGNATION WORK PLAN HANDBOOKS AVAILABLE
EPA has completed the first two of several handbooks on
elements of the 208 Program to assist agencies in meeting Federal
requirements. The first, Area and Agency Designation Handbook
for Section 208 Areawide Waste Treatment Management Planning, was
published in December 1974. A second handbook, Preparation of
Work Plans, was published this February. Copies are available
from EPA regional offices or from the EPA Office of Public Affairs,
Waterside Mall, (A-107), Washington, D.C. 20460. Other handbooks,
to be completed by early summer, will cover: evaluation of interim
planning outputs; evaluation of final plans; and management of
plan implementation.
-------
These handbooks supplement the regulations by presenting
expanded guidance, and are designed to help prepare the
documents. For example, the Designation Handbook includes
the kind of data presentation and evaluation EPA seeks in
requests from Governors. Moreover, the handbooks assist EPA
in setting quality standards used to evaluate the development
and implementation of areawide plans. The Designation
Handbook also describes a screening process to assist State
governors and EPA in establishing the water quality problem
for area designation.
TWO EPA FILMS ON 208 AVAILABLE
EPA has produced two films on the 208 designation process
and work plan development. The films feature discussions by
John R. Quarles, EPA Deputy Administrator, James L. Agee, EPA
Assistant Administrator for Water and Hazardous Materials,
Mark Pisano, Director, Water Planning Division, and directors of
ongoing 208 programs. Panel participants include Ms. Merna Hurd,
Newark, Delaware, Stephen Dice, Hampton Roads, Virginia, James
Barresi, Caribou, Maine, Richard Heikka, Lake Tahoe, California-
Nevada, and Frank Lamm, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, a member
of the EPA 208 Advisory Board.
The film on the designation process describes how an area
and agency can receive an EPA designation, and includes the
effects of 208 planning on institutional change, land use
controls, and the 201 facilities program. In the Work Plan
film, the panelists discuss realities of Work Plan development.
Using illustrations based on their experiences, they describe
each of the nine major items which must be covered in the Work
Plan. ,We anticipate that the films will be useful to planners
in all stages of the planning process. The EPA Administrator's
Office mailed announcements to approximately 1,300 planning
agencies and government officials. The films are being distributed
by Modern Talking Picture Service, 2323 New Hyde Park Road,
New Hyde Park, New York 11040.
COMING EVENTS

planning agency personnel and interested State representatives
will be held in Washington, D.C. (Apr/il 2-3, 1975), New Orleans,
Louisiana (April 17-18, 1975), and S,an Francisco, California
(April 24-25, 1975). Major agenda topics will center around work
plan development, grant application' requirements, cost analysis
^ one latest EPA Policies and technical guidance for implementing
the 208 program. * &
SPECIAL BULLETIN REPORT
AREAWIDE WATER MANAGEMENT UNDER SECTION 208"
THE DESIGNATION PROCESS AND WORK PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Designation Process
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act sets target dates
for completing specific improved water quality goals. By
1977, the Act requires significant reduction in "point" source
discharges -- that is, effluent coming from an identifiable
D°Ufo!; SUuh as a municiPal sewage system or an industrial outfall
By 1983, the goal is to have water clean enough to swim in and
support high-level aquatic life. This requires more than just
controlling point sources.
EPA has concentrated first on a permit system to control
and monitor discharges, and on a construction grants program to
build necessary sewage treatment plants around the country.
However, some water quality problems, particularly from
non-point sources, are so complex that many solutions require
new approaches. The 208 Program calls for areawide water quality
-------
management. Municipalities sharing common water resources and
common problems can use Federal funds to set up a management
process at a regional level, and cooperate to find solutions.
This is a continuing process and.eventually will be used to set
up a long-term plan for each area.
Solutions to non-point source problems may be harder to
achieve, and will probably require changes in community develop-
ment plans. It may be necessary to consider alternative land
development patterns to obtain both water quality and other
community goals.
The 208 planning process also enables regional areas to
coordinate water quality planning with planning for other EPA
programs and those of other Federal agencies which impact
water quality. EPA air quality, solid waste disposal, and
hazardous materials control programs can be carried out more
effectively if each program goal is integrated with other
goals. For example, the Volumes of sludge generated by new
treatment plants should be handled according to EPA solid
waste disposal guidelines and ambient air pollution control
guidelines for incineration.
Ideally, the 208 Program will enable each area to use its
Federal money more effectively and to develop plans that work
not studies that gather dust. '
Role of the Federal Government. EPA has three specific
tasks to perform to help you achieve your goals: Interpret
the Act with guidelines and regulations; allocate funding
to get the planning done; and the ability to assist you
if any conflicts arise in meeting 208 requirements.
Several interpretive documents are available, including
Guidelines, Regulations, Executive Summary of the Guide-
lines, Designation and Work Plan Handbooks, and materials
from the National Association of Regional Councils. These
are available from your regional EPA office.
To assist you with funding, $150 million have been
allocated for Fiscal Year 1975. This is designed to
cover 100 percent of your planning costs for two years.
Finally, to help coordinate 208 goals with other Federal
programs, we can assist you directly if your problems can
best be solved in Washington.
The 208 Program assists you by presenting a framework within
which you can define the problems in your area, and implement
their solutions. Metropolitan areas with heavy industrial
concentrations are obvious candidates for planning funds.
In addition, there are non-metropolitan areas which suffer
from complex problems that can best be solved on an areawide
basis.
-------
Maintaining a unique waterway for prime recreation also
qualifies for designation under the 208 Program. Areas
where water quality may be diminished because of natural
resources development for new energy needs also qualify.
These include eastern coal mining regions, and new regions
in the West facing water pollution from oil shale or coal
development.
Area Designation. Although the Governor of each State
should take the leadership in designating areas, area
officials who wish to quality for the 208 Program should
contact the Governor or the State water pollution control
authority to petition for consideration. However, the
Governor may decide to take no action. In this case, the
chief elected officials in local areas may act on their
own, and can apply directly to EPA for designation.
In addition, a Governor can "non-designate" a potential
area, but still reserves the option of designating it
later. His action, however, prevents local self-
designations. By his action, the Governor assumes the
responsibility for State planning on an areawide scale,
without benefit of Federal 208 funds.
The Planning Agency must include local elected officials,
must have the resources and technical ability to develop
an effective and implementable plan, and must meet certain
criteria regarding representation of local officials, staff
capabilities, and jurisdictional authority. In brief, the
Agency must have specific legislative authority to carry
out the work.
The designated area must demonstrate that it has the
acceptance and cooperation of the local governments
who will participate. This cooperation is evidenced
by presenting "Resolutions of Intent" from each
official with a vital role in determining the outcome
of the work plan. The work plan will not be easily
implemented without full participation and support
from municipalities.
If a State chooses to non-designate an area, it must
either certify that no water quality problem exists, or
it must assume the responsibility for seeing that planning
is conducted and that planned actions are implemented.
The law clearly indicates that the States are responsible
for conducting areawide planning in non-designated areas.
If the State chooses not to perform this work under the
auspices of Section 208 it must nontheless satisfy the
requirement.
-------
8
This, then, is the process, and the criteria which EPA
is using for Section 208. However, this brief statement
does not answer all the questions which you may have about
the program. For a fuller discussion of the issues, we
direct you to the written materials available from your
EPA regional office.
Major questions regarding area designation usually fall
in the following categories: institutional change; land
use controls; facilities construction plans; and funding
and timing.
-Institutional Change
There is concern that existing institutions will be
radically changed and the balance of powers between
state and local governments will be upset by a new
regional layer of government.
This is not the case. Our emphasis is on plan implemen-
tation. Where existing institutions have the required
authority and resources to carry out the plan, implemen-
tation might only be delayed by imposing a totally new
organization. We urge you to work through existing
institutions where such institutions form a practicable
and efficient base. However, when 208 planning reveals
the need for planning or operational functions that are
not being adequately addressed by existing groups, new
institutions will be needed.
-Land Use Controls
Some people are concerned that land use planning and
control authority will be taken away from local
government units and given to the areawide 208 agency,
This is not the case. The primary 208 function would
require both the planning agency and the local munici-
palities to reexamine the land use plans in the area
and test them for their compatibility with achieving
water quality objectives.
-Facilities Construction Plans
There is concern that planning and construction of
new treatment facilities will be delayed until the
208 plan has been completed and approved.
This is not the case. Planning developed under 208
will Lay the groundwork for all future construction
of new treatment facilities. Construction of treat-
-------
ment works, however, will continue as scheduled during
the period in which the initial 208 plan is being developed,
-Funding and Timing
Some people are concerned that funding and time
requirements are inadequate to achieve Section 208 goals.
The intent of the Act is quite clear that after
designation, a one-year period is allowed for Work
Plan development and two years are available for plan
implementation - a total of up to three years from
designation'. Current procedures require that funds
cannot be obligated until a satisfactory grant
application, including work plan, is approved. Limit
your plans to tasks that can be implemented within the
two-year period.
Full funding is available for designated areas that
have received approval of their grant application
before June 30, 1975. EPA has full utilization of
$150 million up to that date.
Work Plan Development
After a planning agency has been designated, a Work
Plan must be developed for the project. Since much effort
is needed to achieve milestones according to a strict schedule,
plans must be completed within two years after a grant award
has been made.
The Work Plan must define the requirements in detail, in
order to make an adequate estimate of the overall cost of the
project. As soon as your grant application, including the
Work Plan, has been approved, initial disbursement can be made
on your grant.
Informational materials are available from your regional
EPA office to assist you with the step-by-step procedure in
developing a Work Plan. An EPA staff is available to answer
specific questions.
A Work Plan has the following nine sections.
-Objectives and Scope;
-Work Performed to Date;
-Coordination with Other Agencies;
-The Planning Process;
-Detailed Schedules;
-Resource Budget; ,
-Disbursement and Milestone Schedule;
-------
10
•Compabibility with Other Plans; and
•Public Participation.
Objectives and Scope
The key to an effective 208 planning process is concen-•
trating on a manageable number of water quality problems
where plans can be made and implemented within the two-
year period. The objectives of the planning process
should be output-oriented'.
Work Performed to Date
Wherever designation is feasible, use past studies that
apply to present projects. Collecting and analyzing new
data is costly and time-consuming.
Coordination With Other Agencies
EPA encourages active participation with other agencies
in the planning process--particularly if they have their
own resources and can contribute to the Work Plan. Guard
against slipped milestones by ensuring that your Work Plan
includes written evidence attesting to the competence of
other agencies.
The Planning Process
The Work Plan lists all of the major tasks that are
scheduled to fit into the two-year period. As soon
as the task descriptions and schedules are defined,
they can be matched with your available resources.
Detailed Schedules
It is important that priorities and expectations for
accomplishments are expressed in concrete terms of
resource allocation, and that priorities be matched
with the objectives and scope of the plan.
Resource Budget
Although this is a relatively straightforward task, it
is time-consuming if every line item is opened up for
lengthy discussion. Need for approving the grant is
the effort level distribution by task multiplied by an
average cost per unit of time.
-------
11
Disbursement and Milestone Schedule
The disbursement schedule has been designed to minimize
cash flow problems for the planning agency. An advance
payment is replenished quarterly as progress is made.
EPA regional offices monitor the achievement of milestones
by evaluating quarterly reports as the project progresses.
Compatibility With Other Plans
The 201 facilities plans, the basin plans made by the
States under Section 303(e), and the water resource
planning provided by Section 209 must be considered as
a part of the 208 planning process. Avoid duplication
of effort, and indicate the role of other planning
activities in the implementation plan.
Public Participation
Public representatives, and their interest groups must
be involved in order to make meaningful inputs throughout
the planning process.
Summary
Areawide planning is not the result of a one-shot plan.
The objectives are to start a planning process that will
continue long after immediate requirements are met.
