Pretreatment Seminars Underway
The first in a series of Technology Transfer Seminars on pretreatment requirements for
for industries discharging to municipal treatment systems was held in Philadelphia,
May 24-25, 1978. These seminars are designed to provide attendees the latest regula-
tory information relating to pretreatment and the major items to be considered in
establishing a pretreatment program.
Since implementation of the pretreatment regulations requires very close cooperation
between industry and municipalities, representatives from both comprise the audience.
The seminar contains two joint sessions to allow interaction between the two parties as
well as separate sessions specifically formulated to present information only for the
industrial or municipal representative. Some of the topics presented at the seminar are:
1. Industrial waste surveys
2. User changes
3. Variances
4. Monitoring and reporting requirements
5. Sources of financial assistance
6. Sludge disposal alternatives
Attendance is limited to 300 at each seminar to encourage attendee participation. Scheduling
of future pretreatment seminars is indicated at the back of this newsletter.

Technology Transfer
Workshop Planned
A workshop on the use of models for Environmental Planning
in the areas of agricultural run-off, generalized non-point
source, and screening methodology for statewide or large
basins.
Two separate 5-day intensive training courses are being
planned for the late summer or early fall of 1978. They are
for engineers and other technical personnel from both the
public and private sectors engaged in "hands-on" analysis of
non-point source pollution problems and 208 planning.
Use of the EPA Agricultural Run-off Management (ARM) and
Non-point Source (NPS) models. Enrollment will be limited to
accommodate the actual computer (terminal) applications
approach planned. Probable location for the first worksho
in this subject area will either be Atlanta or Chicago.
Use of simplified water quality screening methodology foi
large basin planning. The technique to be utilized will be
based upon the EPA Manual "Water Quality Assessment
Screening Method for Nondesignated 208 Areas". Non-
computer calculational techniques, including those for nc
point sources, rivers, lakes and estuaries will be highlighl
Attendance will be limited at these workshops, therefore,
early expressions of interest and requests for additional c
tails are encouraged. Contact Orville Macomber of the EF
staff in Cincinnati at (513) 684-7394.
Asphalt and Forest Products
Seminar Series Completed
Two series of industrial seminars have been completed
recently. The fourth and final asphalt industry seminar,
sponsored by EPA, the National Asphalt Pavement Associa-
tion and the Air Pollution Control Association was held in
Cincinnati on March 1 and 2, 1978. Approximately two
hundred engineers, asphalt owners and operators ranging
from Canada to Puerto Rico were in attendance. The seminar
contained a combination of regulatory and technical informa-
tion on air, water, solid waste, and noise subjects. Process
and control system technology were discussed for conven-
tional, drum mix, and recycle plants.
The second forest products seminar in Portland, Oregon, on
April 4-6, 1978, attracted nearly 400 participants from
industry, control agencies, and consulting firms. Among the
subjects discussed were non-point source programs, air
pollution regulations and control technology, and water
quality standards with specific examples of source control.
Seminar publications are being developed for the two
industries. They will be available before the end of the year.

jreat Lakes Operation and
/laintenance Workshop
leld Recently
summary of three annual EPA surveys of municipal waste-
water treatment facilities indicated that 48% of the facilities
leet their design objectives and the secondary treatment
sjective of 30 mg/l for both BOD and suspended solids
jncentrations. Identification of the reasons for, and potential
'ays to improve, this level of plant performance was the
jbject of a workshop in Chicago on March 15-17, 1978. The
reat Lakes Workshop: Improving Operation and Mainten-
ice of Municipal Treatment Plants was jointly sponsored by
le Great Lakes National Program Office of EPA Region V,
id the Review Board of the Canada/Ontario Agreement on
reat Lakes Water Quality.
ixty invitees, representing disciplines or with responsibilities
5sential for the proper operation of treatment facilities,
ttended. Constituencies represented included design engi-
eers, equipment manufacturers, plant operators and
lanagers, municipal decision makers, State/Provincial and
sderal regulatory authorities, and public sector interests,
ivited papers on relevant topics, including results of a 31/2
;ar U.S. National 0 & M Cause and Effect Survey, were
esented in the first session. The attendees assembled in
'orking groups during the remaining two days, identified the
lost significant problems and proposed alternative solutions,
lultiple problem statements were synthesized into the
illowing major areas of deficiency.
- Public awareness and support of proper operations and
maintenance.
- Adequacy of 0 & M budget levels.
- Number and technical capability of operators, equipment
representatives and regulatory review authorities.
- Maintenance plans.
- Regulatory relating to permit requirements and equipment
selection procedures.
- Design considerations related to operational and mainten-
ance reliability.
- Accountability among the constituents with regard to
long-term operability.
le O & M "problem" includes a spectrum of subissues
hich vary in severity and applicability among wastewater
eatment facilities. A remedial program must, therefore,
elude some plant-specific components in addition to
jproaches having general applicability. This complexity was
icognized and addressed in the solutions proposed by the
orkshop participants. Many alternative solutions were dis-
jssed with the following preferred solutions identified.
- Federally fund, on a one-time basis, operation and
maintenance improvement grants. The purpose of these
grants would be to independently establish a comprehen-
sive correction program including preparation of an
0 & M manual, cost-accounting procedures, preventative
maintenance plans, staffing recommendations, and speci-
fic training requirements emphasizing on-site training.
- Require mandatory operator certification.
Incorporate independent review of facility designs in
terms of operational and maintenance and reliability
considerations.
Incorporate in future wage negotiations incentive pay
schedules for operators based on permit compliance
monitoring.
Publicize locally the cost-effectiveness of 0 & M expendi-
tures in improving water quality.
Provide greater emphasis in equipment specification and
procurement processes to insure, even at higher initial
capital cost, more reliable equipment.
Redirect research emphasis from new process develop-
ment to operations and maintenance considerations of
existing technology.
Proceedings of the Workshop will be available through the
Great Lakes National Program Office, EPA, Region V.
Technology Transfer Continues
Municipal Design Seminar Series on
Sludge Treatment and Disposal
Technology Transfer has recently completed its third of five
planned seminars on Sludge Treatment and Disposal for
1978.
The first seminar was held in Philadelphia, PA, March 30-31,
1978, and was attended by over 300 people. This seminar
was redesigned from those conducted in 1977 and featured
in-depth design examples and the most up-to-date handout
material to supplement the seminar presentations. The new
seminar format provided for better information exchange
and participation by the attendee.
The second seminar in Portland, Oregon, May 3-4, 1978,
was designed for the region and addressed problems that are
encountered by local consultants and municipalities.
The Los Angeles Seminar was expanded to three days and
featured a field trip by participants to the Los Angeles
Sanitation District Joint Plant Solids Processing Facility and
Pilot Study. Also included in the seminar were presentations
by local engineers to discuss regional developments in sludge
treatment and disposal.
It is hoped that by tailoring these seminars to apply to a
specific region, a more effective information dissemination
can occur.

Capsule Report for Utility Fabric
Filter Baghouses Now Available
EPA's Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory in
Research Triangle Park, N.C. has funded projects to analyze
the performance of two of the first coal-fired power plants
located at Nucla, Colorado and Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and
equipped with fabric filters.
The Nucla fabric filtration facility was designed to control
the entire particulate load from the three stoker-fired
boilers of the 39 Mw facility. The installation has been able
to meet the Colorado air pollution regulations with ease.
The Sunbury baghouse replaced an electrostatic precipitator
collection system which was unable to meet the particulate
control efficiency specified in state regulations. The replace-
ment bag system has met the Pennsylvania regulations
since its initial operation in 1973.
The capsule report summarizes performance and cost data
for the two facilities. This report can be obtained by check-

National Conference on
Lake Restoration Scheduled for
Minneapolis
On August 22-24, in Minneapolis, a National Conference
sponsored by the U.S. EPA's Office of Water Quality
Standards and the Environmental Research Information
Center will be held to address how local and state govern-
ments can best conduct programs for restoring lakes.
The conference is designed to enhance the effectiveness of
the Federal Water Pollution Act, Section 314, which provides
federal grants to municipal and state governments to restore
publically-owned freshwater lakes. Representatives of
municipal and state government agencies working on pollu-
tion control and recognized experts on lakes will be attending.
During the Conference, specialists from government research
organizations and academic institutions will present informa-
tion needed to prepare a comprehensive lake restoration
plan. Speakers will discuss how to transfer experimental or
theoretical knowledge into practical applications to meet
Federal Water Quality Goals by 1983. Methods by which
local authorities can protect lakes will be presented and
successful state restoration programs conducted in
Minnesota, Florida, South Dakota, and Vermont will be
explored. Federal experts will present an overview of govern-
mental grant programs for pollution control. Small waste-
water treatment systems as well as point and non-point
sources will be discussed with emphasis on achieving water
quality standards. Methods of assessing lake restoration
problems and in-lake treatments will also be examined.
Management of Lakes and Methods of Evaluating the Effei
tiveness of Restoration Techniques.
The Conference, which is being coordinated by Battelle,
Columbus, will be held August 22-24, Tuesday through
Thursday, at the Sheraton Ritz Hotel, Minneapolis, Minnesc

EPA Publications Get a Facelift
As you have probably already noticed, this newsletter is the
first in Technology Transfer's line of publications to adopt the
new EPA graphic standards.
The EPA is undertaking a program to enhance its visual
image and provide the public with quick and easy identifiers
of its different program areas and their appropriate
publications.
The following are specific program area, color and graphic
identifiers:
Noise
Noise Yellow
Toxic Substances Toxic Red
Radiation Radiation Red
Technology Transfer Technology Purple

Pesticides Green
Solid Waste Brown
In the coming year, those of you who use EPA publication
notice the gradual compliance by the different programs a
eventually all EPA publications will become easily identifia
by color and graphic design.
Technology Transfer will be using the new standards with
new publications and as reprints are made of existing pub
cations, they will take on the new look described above. T
most notable change will occur in the Process Design
Manuals which have become affectionately known as the
"EPA Blue Books" by many of the engineers and scientist
who utilize them in day to day work. They will adopt the n
standard in appearance and will from now on be purple a
white in color rather than the traditional blue.
It is hoped that these rather small changes will help you t
better use the information developed through all of EPA's
programs.
