ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This guide originated from a speech I gave to some OSHA employees some months ago.
One of the topics which I was asked to address was the reponsibi1ities of the U.S. EPA.
The first draft of the guide was prepared for that speech. In preparing the draft,
I realized that my knowledge of other program areas was deficient. Consequently, to
aid other employees, to reduce the number of misdirected phone calls in the Agency, and
to provide better service to the public, I decided to develop this multipurpose directory.
I wish to thank my Unit Chief, George Marsh, for his support, and the many people
who reviewed and commented on the early drafts. This guide would not have been possible
without their help. Though I remain responsible for any errors of omission or commission,
I wish to extend my gratitude to the following people for their assistance in the development
of this guide:
Jim Dewey - Technical Analysis Section, AMD
Trish Polston - Toxic Substances Section, ESD
George Marsh - Toxic Substances Section, ESD
Lavarre Uhlken - Pesticides Section, ESD
Tim Henry - Permits Section, WD

I. AIR MANAGEMENT DIVISION
CLEAN AIR ACT (CAA) OF 1970. as amended in 1974. 1977. 1981
Congress passed the Clean Air Act of 1970, and amended it in 1974 and in 1977, in order to achieve a broadly
defined nationwide goal: the protection and enhancement of the nation's air quality.
Title I of the Clean Air Act gives the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the responsibility to set three
different kinds of national air standards. EPA is required to set and periodically review National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS), which define the maximum concentrations of certain air pollutants allowable in ambient
air in order to protect public health and welfare. EPA also is required to define allowable New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), which establish allowable emissions limitations for different kinds of stationary
sources. Finnlly, EPA is required to set National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
which no ambient air quality standards exist.
Once NAAQS have been set by EPA, individual state governments have the responsibility to determine how they can
be met and maintained most efficiently at the local level. The main administrative mechanism used by state
governments to characterize local air quality and define strategies to achieve national standards is the state
implementation plan (SIP). Another of EPA's major responsibilities under the Clean Air Act is the review,
approval, and general oversight of all SIPs.
Congressional intent to forge a federal/state partnership is also evident in Clean Air Act requirements for air
emissions permitting programs for stationary sources. Although EPA was given the responsibility to develop
regulations, including general criteria for preconstruction permit programs, for new and modified stationary
sources of air emissions, the Congress envisioned that individual permits should be issued and enforced at the
state level. The Congress recognized that state governments were best suited to issue and enforce permits,
because they best understood local air quality and local economic circumstances.
Title II of the Clean Air Act also gives EPA standard-setting, program development, and oversight responsibilities
regarding the prevention and control of air emissions from mobile sources. EPA is required to prescribe and
revise emission standards for new motor vehicle engines for certain vehicle categories. EPA must develop and
manage programs to test and certify new motor vehicle engines for compliance with national standards. Finally,
EPA has the responsibility to enforce provisions related to in-use emissions from vehicles.
Although the Clean Air Act assigns EPA the responsibility and provides authority to regulate a wide variety of
hazardous air pollutants, that responsibility does not appear to extend to pollution in the indoor environment.
The air's legislative history, which refers to the discharge of pollutants from motor vehicles and industry onto
the atmosphere, makes it clear that the Congress was addressing pollution occurring in the outdoor "ambient" air.
There is no discussion in the legislative history about sources of indoor air pollution or the problem of indoor
air pollution. Except for ozone, which is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, there are no federal
health standards for nonoccupational exposure to indoor air pollutants. Nonetheless, EPA has recently set a
recommended safety limit for indoor levels of radon gas of 4 picocuries/liter of air.

II. MATER DIVISION
CLEAN WATER ACT (CWA) OF 1972, as amended in 1977. 1981
The Clean Water Act has its origins in the Federal Water Pollution Act of 1956, which with its subsequent amend-
ments, forms the basis of the federal water pollution control program. The underlying objective of the Clean
Water Act is "...to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters."
To help meet these objectives, Congress required EPA to establish water quality criteria for the development of
water quality standards, technology-based effluent limitation guidelines, pretreatment standards, new source
performance standards, and a national permit program to regulate the discharge of pollutants. The individual
states were given the responsibility for developing water quality management programs and setting water quality
standards.
The Clean Water Act's technology-based limitations prescribe minimum standards of performance for municipal and
industrial dischargers without regard to the quality of receiving waters. Water quality standards, by contrast,
identify intended uses of particular water bodies and, on the basis of water quality criteria guidance developed
by EPA, set forth the biological and chemical conditions necessary to sustain those uses. Generally, technology-
based standards set minimum control requirements which all dischargers are required to meet. Where those limita-
tions are not adequate to achieve a particular state-designated use, state water quality based standards then come
into play and prescribe the additional controls necessary to meet the designated use.
Under the Act, direct dischargers of pollutants can be classified as either point or nonpoint sources. To control
point sources, the CWA provides for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) which incorporates
and applies effluent limitations in individual permits for both municipal and direct industrial dischargers.
Under these permits, dischargers are subject to both technology-based treatment requirements and, where necessary
to protect a designated use, controls based on water quality standards.
Technology-based effluent limitations do not require EPA to prescribe specific control technologies. Rather, EPA
reviews the various treatment techniques presently in use or available in each industrial sector to determine what
limitations are achievable. Once F.PA adopts effluent limitations for a particular industry, each company is free
to use any method it chooses to achieve these limitations. '
The Clean Water Act Amendments of 1977 established three classes of pollutants for which technology-based
standards were to be developed. These classes are conventional pollutants, toxic pollutants, and nonconventional
pollutants.
Water quality standards which are set by the states, are not technology based. Rather they consist of two
elements: first, a designated use for a specific body of water, such as a public water supply or recreation; and
second, criteria which are defined as instream numerical concentrations of pollutants sufficiently low to protect
the designated use. States have the primary responsibility for developing water quality standards, for determin-
ing the attainability of beneficial uses, and for designating those uses. F.PA is responsible for developing
pollutant criteria and technical policy guidance for the states.

SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT (SDWA) OF 1975 as amended In 1976. 1979. and 1986
The Safe Drinking Water Act provides for the safety of drinking water supplies throughout the United States by
establishing and enforcing national drinking water quality standards. Under the Act, EPA has the primary
responsibility to establish the national drinking water quality standards, to review and approve applications
from the various states to assume primacy in the enforcement of those standards, and to supervise public water
supply systems and other sources of drinking water.
In addition to the establishment of primary regulations governing public water supplies for the protection of
public health and secondary regulations regarding the taste, odor, and appearance of drinking water, the Act
includes provisions to control the underground injection of water and other substances which might endanger
drinking water sources.
EPA establishes maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for chemical substances often found in drinking water supplies.
MCLs are legal limits for public water supplies, although variances and exemptions may be granted under certain
conditions. Recommended maximum contaminant levels (RMCLs) are suggested limits on the concentration of specific
chemical substances, they are not enforceable. In addition, EPA issues health advisories for specific contaminant
on the basis of contamination incidents reported by state and local officials. The advisories provide information
on contaminants while allowing the affected states and systems to select the best method of response to fit local
circumstances. Other federal programs (e.g., RCRA and CERCLA) which regulate separate sources of toxic contamin-
ation threatening drinking water sources, are advised by the drinking water program regarding technical options.
A state may qualify for primary enforcement responsibility of drinking water quality standards and underground
injection control if it meets certain basic conditions.
The recent amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act contain several interesting provisions, and additional duties
for EPA. The new amendments would require EPA to set MCLs for a list of 83 contaminants, that have been found in
water but are now unregulated, within three years of passage. Final MCLs have been set for only 22 contaminants.
In addition, the Act: requires EPA to promulgate regulations requiring every public water supply (PWS) to conduct
monitoring for unregulated organic compounds; requires each state to establish a plan to protect wellhead areas
surrounding public water wells; and prohibits lead pipe, solder or flux in installation or repair of public water
systems, or plumbing for human consumption. The Region V contacts listed on the following page should be reached
for information on safe drinking water/underground injection control, or for referral of public inquiries.

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, ft Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by Congress, is the primary basis for
the EPA regulation of pesticide substances which include products to control insects, weeds, and disease vector
control (e.g., mosquitoes or rabid animals), and as hospital or home disinfectants and sterilants. FIFRA directs
EPA to regulate such pesticide substances to ensure that they do not cause "unreasonable adverse effects" on
humans or the environment, requiring a balancing of risks against benefits to agriculture, public health, and the
economy.
A pesticide product can he registered with the federal government on determination that it is not hazardous to
health or the environment when used as directed, and is effective for the purposes claimed in the labeling.
Federal registration and regulation extend to all pesticides, including those distributed or used within a single
state.

TSCA's activities center around three major activities: (I) the premanufacture notification program provides for
scrutiny of the health and environmental effects of each new chemical, insuring its safety before manufacture or
subsequent release into the environment; (2) the testing of new or existing chemicals can be required when EPA
believes that a chemical may present an unreasonable risk to health or the environment. In order to require test-
ing, EPA must find that there is insufficient data on the chemical substance and that further testing is necessary
before a risk determination can be made; and (3) the control of existing chemicals found to pose an unreasonable
risk to health or the environment.
Any chemical intended to go into commercial production after July 1, 1979, is required to go through TSCA's
premanufacture notice (PHN) process. This screening process identifies those new chemicals which may present
unreasonable risks or for which additional information should be developed. EPA review addresses the entire life
cycle of a new chemical substance including occupational exposure, releases to air, water and land, and consumer
exposure. A "new chemical substance" is one not included on the TSCA Chemical Inventory (which is intended to be
a listing of all of the chemicals in commercial production). The list currently contains approximately 63,000
chemical substances.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION & RECOVERY ACT (RCRA) OF 1976 reauthorized as the
HAZARDOUS AND SOLID WASTE AMENDMENTS (HSWA) OF 1984
The Resource Conservation & Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) established the first the statutory framework for compre-
hensive federal and state regulation of hazardous wastes. The Act requires the identification and listing of
hazardous wastes, taking into account such factors as the toxicity, persistence, and degradability in nature, the
potential for accumulation in tissue, and other characteristics. It directs promulgation of such standards for
generators of hazardous waste as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. These standards
are to include requirements for recordkeeping labeling of containers, disclosure of components, use of a manifest
system to track hazardous waste movements ("cradle to grave"), and reporting to EPA. Similar standards are
described for transporters of hazardous wastes in cooperation with the Department of Transportation.
The development of performance standards is prescribed for owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities. The Act requires the establishment of a permitting system to control the
the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. This provision is meant to ensure that all facilities
which handle hazardous wastes will be operating under the conditions specified in a RCRA permit.
One of the key provisions of the RCRA program deals with the authorization of state hazardous waste programs. It
directs EPA to promulgate guidelines to assist states in the development of their own hazardous waste programs and
to authorize states with programs equivalent to the federal program to operate in lieu of the federal program.
The second major part of RCRA, Subtitle D, provides for developing and encouraging methods for the disposal of
solid wastes which are environmentally sound and which conserve valuable resources. These objectives are to be
accomplished through federal technical and financial assistance to states and regional authorities for compre-
hensive planning pursuant to federal guidelines. Utilizing these guidelines and assisted by federal grants, each
state is to develop its own solid waste management plan.
A major theme of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSUA) is the protection of groundwater through
the following programs:
0 Now technological standards for land disposal- facilities: double liners, leachate collection systems, ground-
water monitoring;
0 New requirements for the management and treatment of smaller quantities of hazardous waste, such as those gener-
ated by auto repair shops or dry cleaners;
0 New regulations for underground tanks that store liquid petroleum or chemical products;
0 Upgraded criteria for disposing of municipal solid waste in landfills; and
0 Restrictions on the future land disposal of many untreated hazardous wastes.

COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT OF 1980
Following several well-publicized incidents caused by the uncontrolled and dangerous disposal of toxic chemicals,
it became apparent that the primarily prospective regulatory framework established by RCRA was not adequate to
cope with the remedial needs of such sites. Although thousands of uncontrolled sites already had been identified,
the lack of funds and legal authority impaired real progress. In response, Congress enacted the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, which soon became known as "Superfund." Among
other things, this legislation established a $1.6 billion fund to cover the costs of the cleanup of abandoned
hazardous chemical sites.
Superfund was envisioned as a 5-year program to spearhead both federal and state efforts to respond to releases of
hazardous substances into the environment. The goals of the legislation are to eliminate the most serious threats
to public health and the environment posed by hazardous substance spills and uncontrolled chemical waste sites,
and to respond to such hazardous substance threats in a cost-effective manner.
Title I of CERCLA deals with the release of hazardous substances, the liability to be imposed for releases, and
the compensation to be paid for the damages and costs resulting from such releases. Title II imposed certain
"environmental taxes" on the petroleum and chemical industries and sets up the Hazardous Substance Response Trust
Fund. This funding mechanism for Superfund expired at the end of September 1985. Taxes are also imposed on the
owners and operators of qualified hazardous waste disposal facilities in order to establish a second fund, known
as the Post-Closure Liability Trust Fund. Reauthorization of Superfund is expected in the near future.
CCRCLA defines "hazardous substance" by incorporating within its language those substances listed in the key
sections of several other environmental statutes, including the CAA, CWA, RCRA, and TSCA. However, the Act also
directs EPA to promulgate and revise regulations designating as hazardous other substances found to pose a sub-
stantial danger to the public health when released into the environment. In addition, regulations were promul-
gated which establish the threshold quantity of a hazardous substance spill. Environmental releases or spills ir<
excess of the Reportable Quantity (RQ) trigger notification and response requirements under the Act.
CERCLA requires that any person in charge of a vessel, or facility, who has knowledge of the release of a hazard
ous substance from that vessel or facility in an amount greater that the RQ, to notify immediately the National
Response Center. The Act also requires the owners or operators of hazardous substance storage, treatment, and
disposal sites to notify EPA of the existence of such facilities, the amount and type of hazardous substances
found there, and whether any known or suspected releases have occurred. In the event of the release of a hazard-
ous substance, the procedures and methods to be followed are set forth in the National Contingency Plan (NCP).
The NCP presents procedures for the discovery, investigation, evaluation, and removal (where necessary) of hazard-
ous substances. The NCP provides for three types of CERCLA actions for incidents involving hazardous substances
discovered at a site: (1) Immediate removal actions -- are to provide prompt response (within hours or days) to
prevent immediate and significant harm to human life, health, or the environment; (2) Planned removal actions —
are those that allow time to plan the cleanup activities; and (3) Remedial actions — are intended to achieve a
permanent remedy or cleanup of hazardous waste sites.
