United States EPA Committee June 1983 Environmental Protection Management Staff Agency Office of Administration U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Advisory Committees Charters, Rosters, and Accomplishments ------- U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEES CHARTERS, ROSTERS, AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS JUNE 1983 PREPARED BY: EPA COMMITTEE MANAGEMENT STAFF OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION (PM-208) Additional copies of this document may be obtained by contacting the Committee Management staff on (202) 382-5036 ------- FORE WORD Environmental challenges abound as we move forward in the decade of the eighties. The highest level of scientific expertise is required to meet these challenges and assure that EPA regulations stand on a firm foundation of scientific excellence. As I have promised, I will seek the best advice I can obtain on how to deal with the terribly complex problems EPA must confront. I will seek help from scientists, environmentalists, economists, industrialists and the general public. A great deal of this expertise is available to us through our advisory committee members, who bring to committee deliberations a wealth of knowledge and experience in the most diverse areas of scientific inquiry. Again and again we turn to the collective wisdom of committee members in our search for solutions to the diverse problems before us. From acid rain to the dangerous chemicals in pesticides; from maintaining safe drinking water standards to controlling hazardous wastes and emergency spills; from assessing health risks of toxic substances to providing for municipal construction grants; such are the multiple environmental challenges we face. And there are parallel social and economic impacts to be considered. We turn to advisory committee members for their insights in these matters. I thank the distinguished men and women of the EPA advisory committees for their contribution to the Agency’s ongoing mission to protect public health and the environment. They share importantly in the demanding work involved. I count on their continued assistance in the efforts ahead.

Formal catunents and recomendations fran the March and September meetings were sent to the Mrninistrator. At the March 23rd session, the Camilttee endorsed the concept of the Agency’ S negotiating with parties subject to particular TSCA Section 4 testing requirements for mutually acceptable testing programs in lieu of the Agency’s writing rules. By the end of the year, the Mministrator signed ten negotiated agreements. Also at the March meeting the Ccz inittee expressed concerns about possible exemptions fran the TSCA Section 5 premanufacture notice (PMN) requirements. For example, the ATSAC urged that information regarding new chemicals exempted fran PMN requirements be made available to the public, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections. Further, ATSAC suggested that substantiation for any “qualified experts’” opinion on exemption eligibility be included in the application for exemption. ATSAC’s cannents were considered during preparation of two PtIN exemption rules proposed in August. In July of 1982, ATSAC began review of an upcaning reporting rule under Section 8(c) of TSCA. ATSAC began by reviewing a revised concept paper about the TSCA Section 8(c) rule which had been proposed in July 1980. The rule is meant to implement recordkeeping requirements for canpanies receiving allegations about adverse reactions to specific chemicals. In September the A ISAC heard cannents f ran the public about the concept paper and offered its own recannendations. Rr instance, regarding the form of allegations, the Ccmnnit tee reconinended that language be incorporated in the rule requiring the canpany to inform a person reporting a reaction orally that the allegation must be written. LAzrong other suggestions, the ATSAC included the right of access to the ccmpany’s records of an allegation be guaranteed to the cariplainant or a representative of the ccunplainant. Incorporating several ATSAC ideas, the Office of Toxic Substances expects to publish the final 8(c) rule in mid 1983. At the November meeting the AISAC began work on the identification and examination of issues related to the e nerging biotechnology industry, a topic which continued to be discussed at the March 18 and June 20, 1983 meetings. The Camnittee heard briefings on the activities of the Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances connected with biotechnology and on the biotechnology research projects funded by EPA’S Office of Research and r ve1opment. Members of the audience associated with canpanies doing biotechnology work also spoke. ATSAC developed reccnrnendations of the biotechnology question which will be delivered to the P ency during the suniner of 1983. 4 ------- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD 1.

This subcommittee will review the development of potential application of models and techniques designed to assess risk to human populations following exposure to ambient pollutants such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, particulates, and sulfur dioxides. ——The Committee received preliminary copies of the draft Critical Assessment Document for Acidic Deposition that is being prepared by the Agency’s Office of Research and Development. The Committee authorized the recruitment of additional consultants to assist in its review of this issue. The document has been prepared at the specific request of CASAC, and the Committee’s formal review is now underway. ——CASAC recently completed a letter to the Administrator and to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget COMB) regarding the Agency’s research program for gases and particles. It reviewed such issues as the Agency’s definition of’ research priorities and the research needs to support ambient standard development. Among CASAC’s recommendations were that (1) EPA’s research program assign a higher priority to aerosols and to combinations of gases and particles; (2) EPA support more extramural epidemiological research; (3) three broad areas of’ research are needed to support standard setting: (a) modeling, (b) assessment of’ agricultural losses from air pollutants, and (c) effects of air pollution on timber and national ecosystems. 8 ------- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS FEDERAL INSECTICIDE, FUNGICIDE, AND RODENTICIDE ACT SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL 1. PURPOSE . This charter is issued for the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Scientific Advisory Panel in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App. I) 9(c). 2. AUTHORITY . The former Panel was created on November 28, 1975, pursuant to Section 25(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by Public Law 94—140, Public Law 95—396, and Public Law 96—539. In accordance with this statute, the Panel terminated on September 30, 1981. However, EPA has determined that the Panel is in the public interest, in connection with the performance of duties imposed upon the agency by law. Therefore, the Administrator has decided to exercise his authority under the Federal Advisory Committee Act and pursuant to Section 21(b) of FIFRA, and reestablish the Scientific Advisory Panel. Inasmuch as the Panel will be performing the same functions as it had been performing prior to the September 1981 expiration date, the makeup of the Panel and all its activities will adhere to the requirements of FIFRA Section 25(d) and (e). 3. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF ACTIVITY . The Panel will provide comments as to the impact on health and the environment of the following regulatory actions: a. Notices of intent to cancel or reclassify registrations under Section 6(b)(l) of FIFRA; b. Notices of intent to hold a hearing to determine whether or not to cancel or reclassify registrations under Section 6(b)(2) of FIFRA: c. Emergency orders immediately suspending registration of a pesticide before notification of the registrants pursuant to Section 6(c)(2) of FIFRA, and d. Regulations to be issued under Section 25(a) of FIFRA. The Administrator shall also solicit from the Advisory Panel comments, evaluations, and recommendations for operating guidelines to improve the effectiveness and quality of scientific analyses made by personnel of the Environmental Protection Agency that lead to decisions by the Administrator. 9 ------- The comments, evaluations, and recommendations of the Advisory Panel and the response of the Administrator shall be published in the Federal Register. The Administrator also may use the Advisory Panel to provide peer review of major scientific studies. 4. FUNCTIONS . The fundamental purpose of FIFRA is to ensure that pesticides do not cause “unreasonable adverse effects on the environ- ment.” The term “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment” is defined in Section 2(bb) of FIFRA as “any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide.” Within the context of these provisions of FIFRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder (40 CFR Part 162), the Panel will be expected to comment as to the impact on health and the environment of matters arising under Section 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of FIFRA. Analyses prepared by staff of the Environmental Protection Agency will be provided for the Panel’s consideration. The Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, will initiate all requests for comment by the Panel in accordance with the following timetable: Notices of intent to cancel or change classi- fication under Section 6(b) of FIFRA and proposed regulations under Section 25(a) of FIFRA will be forwarded to the Panel at least 60 days prior to their issuance to a registrant or publication in the Federal Register. Final regulations will be forwarded to the Panel at least 30 days in advance of publication. Whenever the Administrator exercises authority under Section 6(c) of this Act to immediately suspend the registration of any pesticide to prevent an imminent hazard, the Administrator shall promptly submit to the Advisory Panel action taken to suspend the registration of such pesticide. In providing for peer review, the Administrator also may use the Advisory Panel or appropriate experts appointed from a current list of nominees maintained by the Panel. The Panel’s comments, if any, will be submitted in writing to the Director, Office of Pesticide Programs. Such comments will be published in the Federal Register, together with the Environmental Protection Agency’s response at the time that such notices of intent or proposed or final rulemaking are published in the Federal Register. In any particular case, the Panel may waive comment. The Panel shall consult and coordinate its activities with the Science Advisory Board established under the Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act of 1978. 10 ------- 5. COMPOSITION . The Panel is composed of seven members, including the Chairperson, selected and appointed by the Administrator from twelve nominees —— six nominated by the National Institutes of Health and six by the National Science Foundation. Members are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments as to the impact on health and the environment of regulatory actions under Section 6(b), 6(c) and 25(a) of E’IFRA. No person shall be ineligible to serve on the Panel by reason of his membership on any other advisory committees to a Federal department or agency or his employment by a Federal department or agency (except the Environ- mental Protection Agency). The Administrator appoints individuals to serve on the Panel for staggered terms of two to four years. Panel members are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 3, Subpart F —— Standards of Conduct for Special Government Employees, which includes rules regarding conflicts of interest. An officer and/or employee of an organization producing, selling, or dis- tributing pesticides and any other person having a substantial financial interest (as determined by the Administrator) in such an organization, as well as an officer or employee of an organiza- tion representing pesticide users shall be excluded from considera— tion as a nominee for membership on the Panel. Each nominee selected by the Administrator before being formally appointed is required to submit a Confidential Statement of Employment and Financial Interests, which shall fully disclose, prior to his or her appointment, any outside sources of financial support. The Administrator shall require all nominees to the Panel to furnish information concerning their professional qualifications, including information on their educational background, employment history, and scientific publications. The Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register the name, address, and professional affiliations of each nominee. The Chairperson of the Advisory Panel, after consultation with the Administrator, may create temporary subpanels on specific projects to assist the full Advisory Panel in expediting and preparing its evaluations, comments, and recommendations. The subpanels will be composed entirely of Panel members. The estimated annual operating cost of the Panel will be approxi- mately $100,000 which includes an allowance for 2.0 work—years of staff support. The Office of Pesticide Programs provides the necessary staff and support for the Panel. 6. MEETINGS . The Panel will meet either at the request of the Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, or at the request of the Chairperson with the concurrence of the Director, Office of Pesticide Programs. Panel meetings will be called, announced, and held in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s 11 ------- Manual on Committee Management. The Manual provides for open meetings of advisory committees; requires that interested persons be permitted to file written statements before or after meetings; and provides for oral statements by interested persons to the extent that time permits. Any such written or oral statements will be taken into consideration by the Panel in formulating its comments or in deciding whether to waive comment. The Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, or his designee will serve as Executive Secretary and will attend all meetings. Each meeting of the Scientific Advisory Panel will be conducted in accordance with an agenda approved in advance of the meeting by the Executive Secretary. The Executive Secretary is authorized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to adjourn any meeting of the Scientific Advisory Panel whenever such adjournment is determined to be in the public interest. The Panel may not conduct any meeting in the absence of the Executive Secretary or the Executive Secretary’s designee. It is anticipated that the Panel will conduct approximately four formal meetings and two subcommittee meetings each year. To allow adequate time for comprehensive review of topics, meetings will usually last for at least two consecutive days. 7. DURATION . This Charter will be effective for one year following the Congressional filing date or until reauthorized under FIFRA. If not reauthorized by FIFRA the charter may be renewed in accordance with section 14 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 8. SUPERSESSION . The former charter of the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel signed on November 2, 1979, is hereby superseded. r MAR24_?8 ___________________ Agency Approval Date Administrator MAR 15 1383 0MB/GSA Review Date PR 251983 Date Filed with Congress 12 ------- FIFRA SCIENTIFIC ALWISORY PANEL Chairperson Executive Secretary Dr. Robert E.

In December 1981, the Congress enacted legislative reforms for the program which had been proposed by the Administration. These reforms included: (1) limiting Federal aid in the future by reducing eligibilities, and (2) giving increased impetus to delegating operating responsibility for the program to the States. MAC has provided advice on how to put the 1981 legislation into effect. In January 1982, G prepared an extensive report on “Effects of the New 1981 Aii ndn nts on the EPA Construction Grants Program.” This report was tin 1y and effective in pointing the way to liT l Tentng the new legislation. The first report was fol1ci ied by t additional reports in March 1982. These were on “Alternative Financing Mathods for Wastewater Treatmsnt” and “Issues in the Proposed Petorm Regulations.” The alternative financing report concerned how municipalities could obtain funas fran their own or non-Federal sources for needed wastewater treaUrent facilities, and the regulations reform report concerned issues that needed to be resolved in the draft reform regulations for the program, with recaruiendations for solutions. A MAC Task Force visited the Municipal flwironrrental Research Laboratory (MERL) at Cincinnati, Ohio in September 1982, and reviewed the MERL program for research and developTent on municipal wastewater treatiTent. In January and March 1983, NAG issued four reports on current issues: 1. Financial Capability of State and Local Governnents to Fund Wastewater TheatiTent Projects in the Future: Self-Financing of Wastewater Treatirent. 2. Canpliance of Municipalities with Clean Water Act Arrendn nts. 3. Sludge Manag tent. 4. Nanag nt Advisory Group Briefing of the Municipal Wastewater Theati nt Program at the Municipal Environnental Research Laboratory at Cincinnati. MAC continues to be active in providing advice and guidance on policies and operations of the construction grants program and rthwhile results have been generated throughout 1982 and early 1983. 19 ------- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIOr AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS, AND COUNCILS NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE 1.

The Committee also reviews the development and publication of control techniques documents for specific pollutants and control techniques guidelines for selected industries. During 1981 NAPCTAC met five times to discuss performance standards for the following: (1) arsenic from copper smelters, (2) metallic mineral processing plants, (3) gypsum plants (4) coke wet-quenching operations, (5) volatile organic compound fugitive emissions in the petroleum refining industry, (6) synthetic fiber production facilities, (7) flexible vinyl coating and printing industry, (8) basic oxygen process furnaces, (9) volatile organic compound emissions from air oxidation units in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry, (10) sulfur dioxide emissions from fluid catalytic cracking unit regenerators, (11) volatile organic compound emissions from petroleum dry cleaners, and (12) benzene emissions from coke oven by-product recovery plants. Control techniques guidelines were reviewed for volatile organic compound emissions from petroleum dry cleaners; liquid storage vessels; synthetic organic chemical and polymer and resin manufacture; styrene-butadiene copolymers; full-webb process color heatset web-offset lithographic printing plants; high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene resins; and air oxidation processes in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry and for equipment leaks from natural gas/gasoline processing plants. In 1982 the Committee reviewed proposed performance standards for fossil- and nonfossil-fuel-fired industrial boilers, sulfur dioxide emissions from on—shore natural gas production facilities, volatile organic compound fugitive emissions from on-shore natural gas production industry, distillation operations In synthetic organic chemical manufacturing, and particulate matter and opacity of visible emissions from electric arc furnaces and argon-oxygen decarburization vessels in the steel industry. The Committee also explored the concept of “bubble” provisions in association with new source performance standards, and reviewed the status of regulations for the control of hazardous pollutants and progress in the review and revision of national ambient air quality standards. At Its meeting in April of 1983, the Committee covered new source performance standards for polymer manufacturing and wool fiberglass manufacturing; reviews of existing standards for grain elevators, primary copper smelters, and refinery sulfur plants; revisions for kraft pulp mill standards; and emission standards for inorganic arsenic from copper smelting and glass manufacturing. Consisting of eleven members with diverse backgrounds, NAPCTAC serves both EPA and the public by providing a forum for the expression of different viewpoints and the exchange of ideas through in-depth discussion of the regulatory issues brought before the Committee for evaluation and comment. During the period covered by this report, the Committee heard testimony from 173 speakers representing EPA, industry, environmental interests, other governmental organizations, trade associations, and control equipment manufacturers. 23 ------- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS — COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS NATIONAL DRINKING WATER ADVISORY COUNCIL 1.

They presented their recommendations to the Administrator as follows: (1) Provide more flexibility in administering the public notification provisions; (2) Provide economic variances and the merging of variances and exemptions into one variance process; (3) Change the basis for standard setting from “may have any adverse effect” to “regulating levels of exposure of contaminants which, in the judgement of the Administrator, pose an unaccceptable risk.” The language “unreasonable risk,” which has been proposed, was not favored by the Council; and (4) Include benefit/cost analysis. The Council also supported the following actions, but did not feel statutory changes were needed to implement them: (1) A three—tiered regulatory structure including strong support for health advisories and (2) provide and increase advice on the recommended purity and potential adverse health effects of additives to drinking water. The Council did not favor: (1) Competing risk analysis; (2) Elimination of EPA’s treatment technology authority; (3) Cross—examination at public hearings; (4) Changing the judicial test from “arbitrary and capricious” to “substantial evidence”; (5) Changes to the NDWAC, which dictate operating rules to the Council; and (6) The Moynihan Bill amending the Sole Source Aquifer program. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs ) During their September meeting the NDWAC reviewed the data contained in the Advance Notice and made recommendations to the Administrator on the direction EPA should take within the authorities of the SDWA. The Council endorsed the concept of the essentiality of prevention of contamination of drinking water sources. They strongly encourage source protection and control as a means of maintaining or improving the quality of finished water. The Council recommends that regulations should be established for five of the VOCs found in drinking water. They are: trichioroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, l,2—dichloroethane and l,l,l—trichloroethane. The Council felt that sufficient data was not available for the other VOCs found in drinking water and suggested that health advisory information be developed. Fluoride An emergency meeting was called in order to provide recommendations to the Administrator on the Agency’s response to the petition from the State of South Carolina to revoke the National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for fluoride and place it instead in the Secondary Regulations. After reviewing the evidence presented to them, the Council believes that adequate data exists on which to base both a primary drinking water regulation for fluoride based upon adverse health effects and a secondary regulation based upon cosmetic effects of dental fluorosis. The Council unanimously recommended that the primary maximum contaminant level be set at some level below 8 milligrams per liter, the level at which osteosc].erosis has been detected in some examples in the scientific literature. The secondary maximum contaminant level was recommended unanimously at 2 milligrams per liter, the level at which dental fluorosis begins to occur to a significant degree in exposed populations. 27 ------- UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS — COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS AND COUNCILS NONCONFORMANCE PENALTY NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE 1.- PURPOSE : This charter establishes the Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee for “nonconformance penalties” in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.

Among the issues that the Committee drew to the Administrator’s attention were (1) the validity of extrapolations from high levels of exposure to levels encountered by the public; (2) the validity of extrapolation from laboratory animal species to man, including the correlation of data derived from epidemiological and laboratory animal studies; (3) the value of short—term tests for predicting late occurring effects of’ exposure to toxic agents; (! ) the extent of’ interaction resulting from exposure to different agents; (5) the utility of dose—response derived from one route for predicting dose—response relationships for a second route of exposure; (6) the inadequacies of information on current exposure of the population and methods for improving assessments of population exposure. ——The Environmental Engineering Committee completed its review of the RCRA Risk/Cost Policy Model Phase 2 Report and issued a report which concluded that the basic model construct is sound; however, the model, as it now exists, is not technically adequate to be the sole basis for regulatory decisions. Rather, it should be used as a tool to screen or rank alternatives as part of a more detailed analysis. ——The Science Advisory Board completed its review of the Agency’s 5—year research and development plan for 1983—— Research Outlook 1983 . The Board’s comments reflect their concerns about research issues that need higher priority or further clarification. Among examples cited by the SAB are lack of adequate explanation of EPA’s commitment to its investigator—initiated Peer Review Grants Program; the inclusion of unrealistic research promises and milestones; the lack of’ clearly defined research priorities and the process for establishing those priorities; and insufficient explanation of the types of’ longer—term research EPA expects to undertake. ——The Environmental Engineering Committee issued a report on its review of the technical support data for the proposed effluent guidelines for the organic chemicals and plastics! synthetic fibers industries. The Committee addressed a number of major issues: (1) analytic methods, (2) unit processes, (3) estimation of performance of treatment technologies using mathematical models and performance capability and effect of process variables on treatment technology for conventional and toxic pollutants. The Committee’s key conclusion of the review, to date, is that the technical support data provided to the Committee are not amenable to interpretation with respect to their scientific adequacy, and it is possible that by evaluation of’ all available data (reported and unreported), including statistical analyses, a scientifically adequate data base may be developed. 49 ------- ——The Research Outlook Review Subcommittee reviewed the Office of Research and Development’s (ORD) research strategies for fiscal year 1985. A number of questions arose about the prioritization of research projects and the lack of a coherent, overall picture of EPA’s proposed research. ——The Laboratory Organization Review Group reviewed the proposed reorganization proposals for the Office of Research and Development, including both laboratory and headquarters reorganizations. The Review Group has reached a number of preliminary conclusions, among which are that the reorganization of the existing ORD laboratories into five mega—laboratories is supported by the SAB; that the key role of headquarters ORD should be to facilitate and exercise oversight of the development of research plans by the laboratories; and that ORD’s relationships with universities and the scientific community need to be improved, i.e., reinstituting use of exchange programs such as the IPA program. ——The Environmental Engineering Committee conducted a review of the proposed changes to the secondary treatment regulations (140 CFR 133). The Committee addressed the following questions: (1) Whether or not substitution of CBOD 5 for BOD 5 as a measure of treatment plant performance should be allowed; (2) Whether or not the existing requirement for 85% removal of’ BOD and suspended solids should be eliminated; (3) Whether or not newly—designed trickling filters can reasonably be expected to meet current secondary treatment effluent limits; (4) Whether permit adjustments in the effluent limits for trickling filters should be allowed during cold weather regardless of when built; and (5) Whether or not the two million gallon per day limitation for waste stabilization ponds eligible for adjustment of’ suspended solids’ effluent limitations should be eliminated. The Committee’s report to the Agency should be completed by July 1983. ——The Environmental Engineering Committee reviewed a draft report entitled “Contaminants of’ Concern in the Disposal and Utilization of Municipal Sewage Sludge.” Among the questions the Committee commented on were the following: (1) Does EPA’s draft report accurately characterize the principal effects and exposures of’ sewage sludge disposal in the various media? (2) Does the rough categorization of all contaminants into three major categories reflect a reasonable priority segregation to formulate national policy and implement strategy for sludge management? and (3) Have important references on this subject been overlooked? The Committee’s report to the Agency should be completed by July 1983. 50 ------- ——The Environmental Engineering Committee conducted a review of the proposed effluent guidelines for the pesticides industry. The Committee addressed the following major issue: the scientific and technical validity of the use of transfer technology to determine type of treatment and type of technology and quantitative estimates of the degree of reduction in treatment for pesticides for which there are little or no treatment data. The Committee’s report to the Agency should be completed by August 1983. ——The Environmental Effects, Transport, and Fate Committee conducted a review of the site—specific water quality criteria. The Committee addressed a number of critical issues including: the scientific rationale for the development of site—specific criteria; the definition of site; assumptions associated with the site—specific criteria; and four procedures utilized for developing site—specific criteria. These procedures include (1) the recalculation procedure to account for differences in resident species’ sensitivity to a chemical; (2) the indicator species procedure to account for differences in bioavailability, and therefore toxicity, of a chemical due to water quality variability; (3) the resident species procedure to account for differences in resident species’ sensitivity and differences in the bioavailability, and therefore toxicity, of’ a chemical due to water quality variability; and ( ) the heavy metal speciation procedure to allow the comparison of ambient soluble or biologically available metal concentrations to criteria in state water quality standards. ——The High Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Subcommittee reviewed the proposed regulations for disposal of high level radioactive waste. A number of important considerations were reviewed, including: (1) The scientific and technical rationale behind the choice of a 10,000—year period as the basis for the assessment of disposal facility performance. (2) The technical basis for selection of the proposed performance requirements, including the risk assessment methodology, uncertainties in the data and in the analytical methods, and the estimation of premature cancer deaths. (3) The scientific appropriateness of concentrating on disposal in geologic media. (14) The validity of the conclusion that, under the proposed rules, the risks to future generations will be not greater than the risks from equivalent amounts of naturally occurring uranium ore bodies. (5) The adequacy of the economic analysis. (6) The ability of the analytical methods/models used in the analysis to predict potential releases from the disposal facility and their resultant effects on human health. Included would be an evaluation of the model’s ability to deal with uncertainty, and the confidence, in a statistical sense, one can have that the model predictions are adequate to support selection of projected performance requirements. The Subcommittee expects to complete its review and report to the Agency by October 1983. 51 ------- ——The Environmental Health Committee continued its review of health assessment documents for a number of chemicals. Among these are methylene chloride, methyl chloroform, CFC—1l3, acrylonitrile, carbon tetrachioride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene. The Committee, during its evaluations of these health assessments, concluded that the documents for methyl chloroform, CFC—113, acrylonitrile, and carbon tetrachioride are scientifically adequate for use in regulatory decision making. Reviews of the remaining documents are continuing. ——The Environmental Health Committee conducted a scientific review of EPA’s cancer risk assessment document for coke oven emissions. The Committee concluded that coke oven emissions are carcinogenic to humans, and the Committee is awaiting further modification of the cancer risk assessment by ORD in response to the Committee’s recommendation to review alternative models and assumptions to risk assessment. 52 ------- Public Law 92-463 92nd Congress, H.
