It was set up to improve communication and technology transfer among EPA staff, state and local officials and staff, researchers and the private sector. There are five conferences on the BBS: • Expert Systems - a forum providing support, distribution, updates, and discussion of ORD's expert systems. Much software is supplied by this conference. • Biotechnology - a platform for discussion of biochemical approaches to pollution control. • Water- an outlet for exchanging information on EPA's Office of Water's regulatory agenda and ORD's water research activi- ties. Registration is required. • Regional Operations - primarily intended for EPA Regional Highlights but open to anyone to further the exchange of technical support among ORD and the regions. Registration is also required. • Methods Standardization/QA News - a medium for the exchange of information from EPA program offices, regions, state agencies and the private sector on monitor- ing methods and quality assurance techniques. The BBS can be used to send and receive messages, upload and download bulletins and files. Recent ORD activities are communicated. From the main board, bulletin 18 gives the monthly statistics for the BBS, and bulletin 17 is a list of other BBSs. Each conference also has its own bulletins and files. OA NEWS confer- ence bulletins 3, 4, and 5 are some of the most popular. File directory 3 from the main board contains public domain files. Download "dirlist.zip" for a list of all files available on the BBS. At the Main menu you can type S to fill out script files: Script 1 is an order form for EPA publications available from CERI, script 2 is not available at present, and script 3 is a User's Manual Request Form.

Software Introducing SWAMI, the Strategic WAste Minimization Initiative Guide (A User's Guide and Software Tool for Identifying Pollution Prevention Opportunities - EPA/625/11-91/004) The Strategic WAste Minimization Initiative (SWAMI) Software Program, Version 2.0, is a user-friendly computer tool for enhancing process analysis techniques to identify waste Printed on Recycled Paper ------- ^ '-M- minimization opportunities within an industrial setting. The user audience for the software program includes: industrial waste generators (primary manufacturers, assemblers and finishers and distributors); federal and state agencies providing pollution prevention assistance, regional permit writers and regulatory staff; local city and county assistance organizations involved in promoting waste reduction and pollution prevention at the source; educa- tors in engineering institutions; and consultants. Congress, the USEPA, and industry are striving to achieve national goals of waste reduction at the source by preventing the release of pollutants through initiatives like the Industrial Toxics Project (ITP) and Toxic Reduction Inventory Data (TRI). These programs encourage industry, through voluntary efforts, to reduce the amount of pollutants being generated and released during production and manufac- turing operations. By implementing waste reduction measures at the source, industries are also realizing there are financial rewards to be gained by reducing the amount of waste generated as opposed to paying for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazard pollutants. In 1988, EPA published the "Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual," EPA/625/7-88/003, to help manufacturers establish an "in plant" waste minimization program. Several Technology Transfer workshops were conducted during 1989 to further promote the waste minimization concept. SWAM I Version 1.1 was field tested during that same period. This software program augments the Waste Minimization Opportunity Assess- ment Manual, and together they provide supporting tools for implementing a successful waste minimization program in any manufacturing operation. Through distribution and network sharing of several thousand copies of the SWAM I Version 1.1 software nationally and internationally, many valuable comments were received and recommen- dations incorporated in the upgraded SWAMI Version 2.0 program. This software program assists the user in: • Simplifying the highly complex task of process analysis of hazardous materials use, identification, and tracking. • Storing process information for any future reassessment and evaluation of pollution prevention opportunities due to changes in process design. • Simulating the effect of waste stream analysis based on process changes in promoting pollution prevention alterna- tives. • Developing mass balance calculations for the entire process and for unit operations by total mass, individual chemical compounds, and specific chemical elements. • Performing cost benefit studies for one or more feasible waste reduction or pollution prevention solutions. • Prioritizing opportunity points by cost of treatment and disposal or volume of hazardous waste generated. • Developing flow diagrams of material inputs, process sequencing, and waste output streams. • Identifying pollution prevention strate- gies and concepts. • Consolidating pollution prevention and waste information reports for in-house use and meeting pollution prevention and toxic material inventory report requirements. • Interfacing with other EPA pollution prevention tools including the "Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual," the Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse On-Line Bulletin Board (PPIC), and the Pollution Prevention Economic Software Program. A user's guide accompanies the software and provides the necessary documentation and a step-by-step sample session for illustrating the features of the software program. The software requires user-supplied information for process definition, as well as material inputs and products for each unit operation and outputs associated with waste streams. SWAMI requires a DOS-based IBM compatible personal computer (80286, 80386, or 80486) with a hard disk and 640K random access memory (RAM). A user support program is available for the program. For further information on this program, contact Doug Williams at 513- 569-7361. Municipal Solid Waste Options Software This user-friendly software system has been developed for small community solid waste planners, who have a limited technical background, to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the major resource recovery options for diverting municipal solid wastes from landfills. The waste management alterna- tives in this program include material recovery facilities, composting, en6?$ recovery, and incineration. The user car^ evaluate and compare several waste 1 management options consisting of diff^ combinations of these alternatives in terffll of relative capital and operation costs, amount of waste diversion, and institu- tional concerns. The user can enter as little or as much data as desired regarding their community since default values are provided. This program is intended to supplement technical information available in the Office of Solid Waste's Decision Guidance Manual for Solid Waste. Costs and diversion figures calculated by this program should be considered in relative rather than absolute terms. This software can be obtained in one of two ways: 1. Download the file called SWOP.ZIP from the ORD Electronic Bulletin Board System (see the article on the front page for information on access- ing the ORD BBS) 2. Send a blank, high density (5.25" or 3.5") floppy diskette to: USEPA/CERI Software Distribution Center 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive Cincinnati, OH 45268 ATTN: SWOP New Technology Transfer Publications [use form in back to order] Handbooks I Handbook: Stabilization Technologies for RCRA Corrective Actions (625/6-91/026) This Handbook presents an overview of several technologies that may be evalu- ated under the RCRA corrective action stabilization initiative. This initiative's purpose is to reduce risks at corrective action sites as soon as possible. The technologies described were suggested by an Agency work group involved with technology implementation. The Handbook is intended for use by permit writers and owner/operators responsible for corrective measure implementation. It provides an overview likely remediation technologies. Contain ment technologies include drainage, ------- recovery wells, slurry walls, capping, flouting, and gas venting. Soils treatment nologies include solidification, soil ling, bioremediation, and vacuum detraction. Two innovative technologies, hydrofracture and horizontal well drilling, are presented. The applications and limitations of each technology are described. In addition, evaluation methods are provided for determining system performance. Handbook: Remediation of Contaminated Sediments (625/6-91/ 028) This Handbook provides guidance on approaches for remediating a site with contaminated sediments. It covers the physical and chemical characteristics of sediments, sediment toxicity assessment methods, sampling methods, dredging techniques, pretreatment, treatment technologies, and disposal options. The Handbook is intended for the remedial project manager, permit writer, or -^suiting engineer involved with a aminatad sediment problem. It can be n as a guide for preparing investigation and evaluation work plans. It is estimated that at least 25% of uncontrolled hazard- ous waste sites have sediment problems. The chapters in the Handbook are sequentially arranged for guidance from sampling and assessment methods through dredging and dewatering to remediation. The limitations and applica- tions of several technologies including thermal separation and destruction, extraction and washing, chemical destruc- tion, and solidification are presented. Data from sediment treatability studies for various technologies are provided. A chapter on containment options is also presented. Handbook: Materials Recovery Facilities for Municipal Solid Waste (625/6-91/031) This Handbook addresses the technical and economic aspects of material recovery Jity (MRF) equipment technology. _sral communities have proposed these . nems as part of recycling operations aimed at reducing land disposal of municipal solid waste. Although the basic principles of MRFs have been around for some time, very few facilities have been operating for any length of time. This Handbooks intended to be used by solid waste planners at the community level. It points out what can be done technically, what material specifications can be achieved, and what the different manual and mechanical separation and recovery approaches can cost. This Handbook will enable the commu- nity planner to understand the basic and variable MRF operations and to ask technical questions of vendors or consult- ing engineers proposing an operation. Information on performance guarantees, personnel requirements, and siting considerations is also provided. Handbook: Assessment Protocols: Durability of Performance of a Home Radon Reduction System (625/6-91/032) Increasing evidence exists that the health risks in houses with significant levels of radon (above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L) may constitute the most serious indoor air quality problem in the United States. Radon intrusion is often pictured as a seasonal phenomenon, with stack effect and other pressure driven factors influenc- ing soil gas entry to building substructures. Several solutions for this problem have been proposed. This Handbook contains protocols that compare the immediate performance of subslab depressurization (SSD) mitigation systems with performance months or years later. These protocols provide a methodol- ogy to test SSD radon mitigation systems in situ to determine long-term perfor- mance of these systems. The results cover a period of about 3.5 years. Methods used included occupant interview and various parametric measures, e.g., radon levels and pressure differentials. Radon levels in buildings are the major basis for determin- ing the durability of the radon reduction system. Results of the testing during the development of these protocols point out two important findings: (1) occupant interaction with the mitigation system can result in elevated radon levels and (2) most of the SSDs are operating as designed 3.5 years after installation. Seminar Publications Control of Blofllm Growth In Drinking Water Distribution Systems (EPA/625/R-92/001) This seminar publication discusses the composition of biofilms, factors that favor their formation, how to recognize a biofilm problem, biofilm control strategies, regulatory issues, and resources for assistance. Distribution system monitoring and biofilm control strategies require a thor- ough understanding of many aspects of water supply and distribution, as well as information about water chemistry and microbiology. When plant personnel have knowledge of the conditions that allow microbes to pass into the distribution systems and the factors that favor micro- bial growth, they are able to develop a comprehensive monitoring strategy to identify trouble spots before problems arise. This strategy includes monitoring of not only easy-to-reach outlets but periph- eral portions of the distribution system. The program provides a data base from which to detect changes in bacterial quality and to determine the sources of the contami- nation: biofilms, cross connections, or treatment breakthrough. The biofilm control plan is not only a remediation plan but a prevention program as well. Systems that maintain an adequate treatment residual, flush the distribution lines regularly, and practice good pipe maintenance will have a lower risk of developing a biofilm problem. This publication was prepared coopera- tively by EPA's Offices of Ground Water and Drinking Water, Technology Transfer and Regulatory Support, and Environmen- tal Engineering and Technology Demon- stration. The publication is of interest to federal, state and local regulatory officials, consultants, manufacturers, and drinking water utility administrators and staff. Site Characterization for Subsurface Remediation ( 625/4-91/ 026) Site characterization of contaminated sites has become an increasingly complex process as a result of rapid developments in 1) methods for observing the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the subsurface and 2) methods for remediation of soil and ground water. Consideration of the possible methods that may be used to clean up contaminated ------- soils or ground water early in the site characterization process can ensure that data collected are appropriate and possibly reduce the time it takes to initiate clean-up efforts. This publication provides a comprehen- sive approach to site characterization for subsurface remediation. An introductory section, Chapter I, describes a methodol- ogy for integrating site characterization with subsurface remediation. The chapter also provides a guide for quickly and efficiently accessing information in the rest of the document for specific remediation applications through the use of summary tables, checklists, figures, and flow charts. The remainder of the publication is divided into three parts: Part I covers methods for subsurface characterization, Part II covers physical and chemical processes in the subsurface that relate to the selection of remediation methods, and Part III covers methods for soil and ground-water remediation.

The symposium will address both the technical and programmatic aspects of the RCWP to provide guidance to those developing ongoing and future nonpoint source management programs. The RCWP is a federally sponsored nonpoint source pollution control program that was initiated in 1980 as an experimental effort to address agricultural nonpoint source pollution problems in watersheds across the country. The objectives of the RCWP are to: • achieve improved water quality in each project watershed in the most cost-effective manner possible in keeping with the provision of adequate supplies of food, fiber and a quality environment; • assist agricultural land owners and operators to reduce agricultural nonpoint source water pollutants and to improve water quality in rural areas to meet water quality standards and local water quality goals; and • develop and test programs, policies and procedures to control agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The RCWP is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other USDA agencies, including the Soil Conservation Service, Cooperative Extension Service, Economic Research Service, Forest Service, Agricultural Research Service and the Farmers Home Administration. The RCWP has funded 21 watershed projects across the country. These projects represent a wide range of pollution problems and impaired water uses. The RCWP projects were selected from state lists of priority watersheds developed during the Section 208 planning process under the 1972 Clean Water Act. Projects are located in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachu- setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee/Kentucky, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. While water quality monitoring has been performed in all 21 projects, five of the RCWP projects were selected to receive additional funding for comprehensive monitoring and evaluation. Each RCWP project involves land treatment practices and water quality monitoring. Landowner participa- tion is voluntary, with cost-sharing and technical assistance offered as incentives for implementing best management practices (BMPs). Most RCWP projects began in 1980-81 and ended in 1986. Although the program ends in 1995, all but a few projects will end in 1992. Project results are currently being evaluated. The RCWP is one of a few national nonpoint source control programs that has combined land treatment practices with water quality monitoring to provide water quality data to continuously document the effective- ness of the nonpoint source controls. Water quality monitoring results have also been used to adjust and refine land treatment practices designed to control agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The National RCWP Symposium will provide a forum for RCWP project personnel to share the knowledge gained during this unique program. The technical program has been developed by a national steering committee consisting of individuals from federal and state government and leading academic institutions. The symposium agenda includes technical paper presentations, technical poster sessions, exhibits, and a field trip. Technical presentations will include the following topics: • Water quality and land treatment monitoring • Relating water quality to land treatment • Land treatment and operation and maintenance of BMPs • Project coordination and farmer participation • Institutional arrangements, program administration and project spin-offs • Information and education • Technology transfer, lessons learned and socioeconomics • Research needs and future vision A peer-reviewed proceedings will be provided to each participant at the beginning of the symposium.
