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.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHARTER
ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONS - COMMITTEES, BOARDS, PANELS, AND COUNCILS
ADMINISTRATOR’S PESTICIDE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
1. PURPOSE . This Charter is issued to reestablish the Administrator’s Pesticide
Advisory Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. (App. I) 9(c).
2. AUTHORITY . It is determined that reestablishment of the Administrator’s
Pesticide Advisory Committee is in the public interest to review the Environmental
Protection Agency’s implementation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and sections 402, 406, 408, and 409 of the Federal Fkod,
Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
3. OBJECTIVES . The Committee advises the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency on specified problems with registration, reregistration, and
tolerance issues; suggests alternative mechanisms within existing authorities as
appropriate; and, on request, reviews specific statutory alternatives developed
by the Agency.
4. FUNCTIONS . The purpose of the Committee is to advise, consult with,
and make recommendations to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency on policy matters relating to registration, reregistration, and tolerance
responsibilities as mandated under the FIFRA and the FFDCA. The Committee
provides practical and independent advice to the Agency on matters and policies
relating to pesticides and maintains an awareness of current issues and problems
in the pesticide area. It proposes actions to encourage cooperation and
communication between the Agency and other Federal governmental agencies, State
agencies, user groups, the chemical industry, the research community and the
general public.
5. COMPOSITION . The Committee shall be composed of eighteen members including
the Chairperson, and members shall be appointed by the Administrator for terms
of one and one half years. Members will represent the following segments of
the population in appropriate balance:
a. Manufacturers, processors, and users of pesticides including,
but not limited to, farm, food processing, speciality and pest
control;

ThE AUIINISTRATOR’ S TOXIC SUBSTANCES ADVISORY CCIIMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Pdministrator’s Toxic Substances Pdvisory Canmittee (ATSAC) convened for
four public meetings in 1982; March 23rd, July 8th, September 9th, and November
16th. 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.

CLEAN AIR SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CASAC)
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
——CASAC authorized the formation of’ a subcommittee on health
risk assessment. 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.

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

REXCE T AC PLISI ENI’S
The year 1982 was the beginning of a new phase of the EPA municipal
wastewater treabr nt construction grants program. 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.

NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee (NAPCTAC)
meets periodically to assess progress in the development of new source
performance standards (NSPS) for stationary sources and national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). 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.

NATIONAL DRINKING WATER ADVISORY COUNCIL
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Reauthorization of The Safe Drinking Water Act
At their March meeting, the Council considered Amendments to the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA) contained in two Congressional bills and public
comment called for by the EPA on its reauthorization. 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.

RCRA PERMIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The RCRA Permit Advisory Committee has operated with Task
Forces and Working Groups that look at regulations and procedures
as well as new approaches to regulation of hazardous waste. These
groups report back to the full committee. Guidance documents
relating to land disposal, storage and treatment of hazardous
waste have been reviewed and they have looked at permit application
requirements and reviewed the permitting process. They have also
investigated and commented on new approaches to regulation i.e.,
class permits, mobile treatment units, lifetime permits and permit
variances.
Committee Meetings held:
Committee and Task Forces
February 15 and 16, 1983
April 26, 27 and 28
Additional Meetings:
Task Force A March 30, 1983
Task Force B March 15, 1983
Future Meetings:
Task Force A and B July 14, 1983
At the April meeting, the Committee approved and submitted
recommendations to EPA relating to project operating life tor
hazardous waste permits. These recommendations were submitted
to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The Committee
also submitted to EPA recommendations relating to permit applicant
guidance and model permits for hazardous waste treatment, storage
and disposal facilities.
The initial Committee meeting in February was organizational.
Members were assigned to Task Forces and the Committee adopted
its rules of procedure. Task Forces met and determined Working
Groups and agendas. In March, Task Force meetings focussed on
recommendations regarding project operating life, and permit
applicant guidance and model permits.
Task Forces and Working Groups will meet again in July
where they will develop further comments on the land disposal
permitting process, post closure, and permit modifications.

SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD
RECENT ACCOMPLISHNENTS
——The Environmental Health Committee outlined in a letter to the
Administrator some of the major generic issues encountered in
its past reviews of a series of EPA’s health assessment documents.
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.
