Accomplishment Plan:
I. Problems
A. Environmental Problems
The Federal government is involved in many diverse activities
in Region VIII with an overriding emphasis on natural,resource develop-
ment and protection. These activities include federal land manage-
ment, water resource development, highways, airports power plants,
1976 Olympics, and waste treatment and disposal facilities.
Approximately 120 million acres of land in Region VIII
or 32 percent of the total regional land area is owned by the Federal
government. The majority of these Federal lands are managed by the
Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service, with smaller acre-
ages managed by the Atomic Energy Commission, National Park Service,
Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Mines, and
the Department of Defense. Smaller acreages of Federal lands are used
for installations such as military complexes, and post offices which
are not managed in accordance with public land laws. Federal lands
subject to the public land laws are managed for multiple uses such
as forage production, timber, wildlife habitat, watershed, cattle
grazing, minerals and recreation. Road construction is an important
support function for many of these activities.
The primary environmental problems associated with Federal land
management activities include:

-------
Page 2
1.	Surface and ground water pollution problems (both point
and diffuse) such as erosion and sedimentation, drilling mud disposal;
mine drainage; leachate from tailings piles; brine disposal; oil and
hazardous materials spills; liquid effluents from processing activities;
radioactive leachates; waterborne pesticide residues; thermal pollu-
tion; and animal and human wastes.
2.	Air pollution problems such as fugitive dust, timber slash
burning, airborne pesticide sprays, and gaseous effluents from
processing activities.
3.	Solid waste problems such as timber slash disposal; mining
and milling tailings disposal; garbage and refuse disposal; and
solidified animal and human wastes; and
4.	Noise problems from resource development activities and
recreational activities.
Secondary environmental problems associated with Federal land
management activities include downstream salinity; increased urbaniza-
tion with related waste disposal problems; cumulative pesticide resi-
dues; and increased degradation in areas where the resources of the
I
Federal lands are used (i;e. high energy demand areas). Other environ-
mental problems out.side of EPA's six primary areas of responsibility
include aesthetics; water supply; flora and fauna impacts; rehabilita-
tion and revegetation; incompatible land uses; wilderness; and destruc-
tion of archeologiciil and cultural or historic sites.
The minerals of this region on Federal lands include:
oil shale, coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, common varieties (sand,
gravel), and hardrock minerals (gold, silver)-. The development of

-------
Page 3
these minerals includes such activities as: exploration; construction;
f
conventional oil and gas recovery operations; underground nuclear gas
and oil stimulation; mining operations (surface, underground, in-situ);
oil, gas and mineral processing activities; product transportation
(pipeline, trucks, etc.) and land rehabilitation. The critical areas
of development that can be identified at this time are:
a.	Colorado's Piceance Basin; Utah's Unita Basin;
Wyoming's Washakie Basin for oil shale.
b.	The Decker-Birney area of the Powder River Basin in
Montana for coal development. The Decker-Birney area will be
developed first and then the development will spread to the Powder
River Basin and eventually to the entire Fort Union formation extending
over portions of Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Canada.
c.	Northwestern Colorado, southwestern Wyoming and northeastern
Utah for oil and natural gas.
d.	Southwestern Colorado, eastern Utah and eastern Wyoming
for uranium.
e.	Western Montana for hardrock minerals.
f.	Sand and gravel operations are common throughout the
region.
Timber harvesting practices of such agencies as the Forest Service,
i	i
BLM- and BIA continue to cause problems in this region. The controversy
over clearcutting practices on the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana
is the most recent example. Timber harvesting includes such activities
as road construction; various cutting methods such as clearcutting and
selective cutting; slash disposal; and reforestation. Timber harvesting

-------
Page A
activities are conducted throughout the region but the most concentrated
activities are in Western Montana and the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Serious erosion and salinity problems exist in this region as a
result of overgrazing of public lands. Western Colorado around Grand
Junction is an example. The expanding use of recreational vehicles
(four wheel drive, trail bikes, and snowmobiles) are causing erosion
problems, creating noise, affecting wildlife habitats, increasing air
pollution and in general marring the landscape.
The activities of Federal water resource agencies such as the
Bureau of Reclamation, Corps of Engineers and Soil Conservation Service
are conspicuous in this region because of the arid climate. The
environmental problem within EPA's area of responsibility associated
with water resource projects include: reduced stream assimilative
capacity when streams are impounded; irrigation return flows, which
are high in dissolved solids, herbicides, pesticides and nutrients;
waste treatment plant effluents discharged above reservoirs; erosion
and siltation during construction and from mud flats resulting from
reservoir operation; slash disposal, thermal shock on aquatic life;
and noise. Broad policy problems associated with water resource
projects include their effect on'area growth and development patterns;
land use problems and transbasin diversion. The most significant water
resource projects are the Central Utah Project; Fryingpan Arkansas
Project in Colorado; the Garrison Project in North Dakota and the North
Central Power Study and related water resource projects in Montana & Wyoming.

-------
Page 5
Highway and airport projects involve the FHWA and FAA respectively.
Such projects present water quality problems from pre- and post- con-
struction erosion and stormwater runoff. Air quality problems result
from fugitive dust and slash burning during construction as well as
from the pollutants associated with increased air and highway traffic.
Slash and refuse disposal present solid waste problems. Of increasing
significance are the noise levels associated with increased highway and
air traffic. A major issue, particularly in the Denver and Salt Lake
metropolitan areas, is the effect of such projects on urban growth
and land use. The circumferential highway and the new Stapleton Airport
runway in Denver are examples. Of equal significance are projects in
remote areas which threaten to destroy or alter wilderness, aesthetic
and ecological values in national forests and parks. The proposed
location of 1-70 in Glenwood Canyon in Colorado and the proposed
extension of the airport runway in Grand Teton National Park are examples.
Power plant projects, including hydroelectric, coal-fired steam
generation, and nuclear, may involve such agencies as the Bureau of
Reclamation, BLM, REA, AEC and FPC. The environmental problems associa-
ted with the operations of such power plants include those problems associa-
ted with support activities such as the mining and milling of uranium
ores. The environmental problems include the discharge of highly
mineraliEed blowdown waters; heated liquid effluents; wind and water
erosion of tailings piles (including radioactive tailings); stack
emissions; transmission lines and noise. The coal-fired steam genera-
tion plants included within the Southwest Energy study as well as the

-------
Page 6
Jim Bridger Plant in Wyoming and the various plants proposed in the
North Central Power Study are examples. Coal gasification projects
promise to present environmental problems for the region in the near
future. Presently there is only one nuclear facility in the region at
Ft. St. Vrain near Denver in Colorado although uranium mining and milling
in western Colorado and centeal Wyoming is expected to increase signi-
ficantly .
Colorado has been selected as the site for the 1976 Winter
i
Olympics. Federal monies will be used to fund the games through exist-
ing Federal grant programs with agencies such as HUD, HEW and EPA and
through a direct Congressional appropriation to be administered by an
agency such as the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. The potential environ-
mental effects of holding the Olympic winter games in Colorado are
basically twofold: physical impacts imposed on the specific sites
for the various events, and the longer-range secondary impacts on
growth stimulation and State land-use policies.
The Federal Facilities in Region VIII which must comply with the
provisions of E.O. ]1507 include military installations of the defense
agencies, AEC instaJlations, recreational waste treatment facilities
i
of the Forest Service and Park Service and others. The gaseous and
liquid effluents from these facilities may degrade air and water quality.
The liquid effLuents may contain various chemicals, radioactive isotopes
and domestic wastes. Violations of applicable air and water quality
standards by point discharges from these facilities are not a major
problem in Region VI[I. However, many facilities can be improved to

-------
Page 7
provide higher quality effluent. Septic tanks and vault toilets are
commonly used in recreational areas for domestic waste disposal.
Such facilities are frequently overloaded and leaking, particularly
during peak recreational seasons. The use of various chemicals in
septic tanks and vault toilets to mask odors creates problems when
these wastes are eventually treated and discharged to a waterbody.
Zinc based masking compounds are presently causing concern in the
DLllon Reservoir area of Colorado. The disposal of wastes from
campers and other recreational vehicles is becoming an increasing
problem. Such wastes are frequently dumped along the roadside rather
than in dump stations. Solid waste problems result from Federal
land management agencies leasing lands for solid waste disposal sites
which turn into obnoxious dumps. Indiscriminate dumping of refuse
on Federal lands is also a problem.
t '
B. Administrative Problems
Section 118 of the Clean Air Act, Section 21 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, Section 211 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act,
the Refuse Act, NEPA and E.O. 11507 make it clear that Federal agencies
j
are mandated to insure that their activities do not violate applicable v
air and water quality standards and solid waste guidelines. Federal
agencies are experiencing many administrative difficulties in complying
with these requirements. The problems being encountered include:
(1) Unfamiliarity of EPA personnel with the laws, regulations and
procedures of the various Federal agencies, particularly land management
agencies.

-------
Page 8
(2)	Unfamiliarity of EPA personnel with the personnel,
qrfeanization and activities of other agencies. Particularly critical
is our unfamiliarity with the planning process of other agencies.
(3)	Lack of clear, direct authority for EPA to get involved
in the early planning stages to assist in our six primary areas of
responsibility.
(4)	Hesitancy on the part'of the Federal land management
agencies to enforce environmental stipulations in contracts, licenses,
permits and leases.
(5)	Because of personnel shortages agencies cannot provide
adequate supervision and inspection of timber sale contracts and
mineral leasing operations including road construction.
(6)	Timber harvesting goals are often established without
regard to the environmental damage that may result from meeting those
goals.
(7)	Timber sales are developed primarily by the most inexper-
ienced agency personnel because of the normal structure of agency
career ladders.
(8)	In the Forest Service the greatest quantity of road
construction funds are obtained through timber sale contracts and not
through the' Fohest Roads and trails funds leading to planning of roads
for a single rnther than multiple purposes.
(9)	Lack of sufficient interdisciplinary teams to do proper
land use planning.

-------
Page 9
(10) The EPA regional office does not have an inventory of
point and non-point sources of effluents to the air or to water
courses. Without such an inventory, the EPA has no specific knowledge
of which installations are in compliance with air and water quality
standards. Without the inventory the EPA also does not know where
improvements should be instigated. The information submitted to the
0MB under Circulars A-78 and A-81 provides some inventory information,
but does not provide, a complete picture.
LI . Objectives
A.	Abate air, water and land pollution from Federal land manage-
ment activities by:
(1)	Developing an inventory of existing air, water and land
pollution problems on Federal lands and assigning priorities for
remedial action.
(2)	Encouraging and assisting Federal land management
agencies in securing remedial actions.
(3)	Developing institutional and legal mechanisms for
abating pollution from abandoned oil, gas and mining operations on or

(5)	Assisting Federal agencies in the development of legal
and institutional mechanisms to assure adequate rehabilitation of
mined areas on Federal lands.
(6)	Reducing or minimizing environmental degradation resulting
from timber management and mining activities on Federal lands in
Region VIII. This general objective has the following principal sub-
elements: evaluating the extent and type of environmental damage
caused by timber management and mining activities, assuring that
environmental considerations are factored into the planning process,
and assuring that environmental standards are enforced.
C.	To1 broaden the planning processes for highways, airports,
power plants and water resource projects to include a full range of
environmental considerations.
D.	To* prevent or minimize environmental degradation Associated
with the development of sites for the 1976 Olympics.
E.	Coordinate and assist Federal agency efforts to abate and
coiitrol pollution from Federal facilities by:
(1) Assisting all Federal agencies in the region in developing
and making operational by the end of FY 73 an inventory covering the
full range of environmental conditions and problems at Federal facilities

-------
Page 11
(which includes point and diffuse sources).
(2)	Evaluating inventory information for compliance with
applicable standards and guidelines and establishing priority areas and
projects requiring remedial action.
(3)	Evaluating Federal agency progress towards program goals
"j
and assisting OMB in establishing priorities for the authorization
and funding of projects.
III. Strategy
The objectives will be achieved utilizing the resources of the
following program elements in their entirety:
2A6113 Federal Activities/Air
2B1115 Review Federal Licenses and Permits
2B6116 Federal Activities/Water
2D6118 Federal Activities/Solid Waste
Other program elements will be used to a lesser extent such as
3B2124 Refuse Act Permit Program
2B1143 Water Quality Standards
2B4153 Technical Support and Assistance/Water
2A5137 Technical Support and Evaluation/Air
The general strategy for the abatement of existing air, water
and land pollution problems resulting from Federal land management
activities incLudes the following actions:
(1) Request technical assistance from Federal land management
agencies in¦identifyLng serious air, water and land pollution problems

-------
Page 12
from existing land management activities that require remedial
action.
(2)	Through consultations with the Federal land management
agencies and field investigations, assess pollution problems, and
establish a priority ranking and time schedule Tor abatement.
(3)	Use'negotiatLon, legal actions by other Federal
agencies, permit program and EPA enforcement authority to get
compliance.
It is estimated that the region will provide technical assis-
tance to other Federal agencies in the abatement of 25 existing land management
priority problems. Field investigations will be a necessary part of
this technical, assistance activity. It is also estimated that the region
will review and process 50 Refuse Act Permit applications for mining, oil
and gas operations on Federal lands. The region will also assist in the
closing of 100 open dumps on Federal lands.
¦ i
The general strategy for the prevention of air, water and land
pollution problems resulting from Federal land management activities
includes the following actions:
(1)	Review existing laws, regulations and procedures and
proposed legislation affecting Federal lands and provide OFA with
reccpnraendations.
(2)	Review money and manpower problems of Federal land
management agencies and provide OFA with recommendations for supporting
other agencies before 0MB and Congress.
(3)	Hold coordination meetings with Federal land management
agencies and environmental groups to identify critical development areas.

-------
Page 13
(4)	At Headquarters and/or Regional level, develop memorandum
of understanding with Federal land management agencies specifying:
(a)	Agency relationship on abatement of pollution
problems, including enforcement;
(b)	Agency relationship in defining critical develop-
ment areas and planning for management of these areas. EPA should
at a minimum have the authority to review critical area plans before
an EIS is prepared.
(c)	Agency relationship in developing model stipula-
tions and environmental guidelines.
Headquarters and Regional efforts for memorandums of
understanding should proceed simultaneously. Region should attempt
to reach formal or informal agreements at field level. These field
agreements may be interim in nature awaiting Headquarters action.
(5)	In accordance with Agency agreements, assist Federal
land management agencies in assessing the environmental impact of
development in critical areas of great regional significance. In
other critical areas, review and comment on plans and EIS.
(6)	Review environmental stipulations in Federal land
management contracts, leases, licenses and permits and develop model
environmental stipulations.
(7)	Assist Federal land management agencies in preparing
guidelines specifying in detail the criteria that must be met in
order to comply with the general environmental stipulations in Federal
contracts, leases, licenses, and permits. (Such guidelines were
prepared for the permit program).

-------
Page 14
(8)	Review 18 lease applications for use of Federal lands
as solid waste disposal sites.
t
(9)	Brief public interest groups on Federal land management
activities and encourage their early involvement in the planning process.
In the area of Federal land management activities, the region
will concentrate its efforts on evaluating timber harvesting practices
and certain mineral resource developments in the region. The evaluation
of timber harvesting practices will include the following actions:
(1)	In consultation with the Forest Service determine
extent and location of timber harvesting in each Forest Service Region.
(2)	In consultation with the Forest Service and responsible
environmental groUps select the most critical timber harvesting area
from an environmental protection standpoint in each region for
detailed study, e.g. this may be a Forest, a district on a Forest, or
some other geographical unit.
("3) Perform a detailed evaluation of the timber management
t
techniques and practices used in the study area. Items to be evaluated
would include the development of timber management plans, harvesting
methods, road construction, contract administration, fire control
activities, slash disposal, reforestation, and public involvement.
The environmental considerations related to these would be determined.
1
(A) The data collected on each study area will be examined to
determine the environmental controls that should be implemented or
strengthened. A determination will be made of the benefits to air,

-------
Page 15
water or land quality that would accrue from proposed environmental
controls.
(5)	Recommended changes will be discussed with the Forest
Service to determine the feasibility or constraints in implementing
the recommendations.
(6)	The Forest Service will be asked to implement feasible
recommendations. Those recommendations requiring policy or legis-
lative changes will be forwarded to headquarters for action and
coordination with other EPA regional offices.
(7)	From the results of the area studies, methods for
performing environmental analyses of the remainder of National
Forest land in the Region will be developed. The Forest Service
would then be asked to conduct these analyses in their respective
regions.
(8)	The analyses done by the Forest Service would be reviewed
to determine where changes in timber management techniques and pro-
cedures need to be made.
(9)	Assistance will be provided to the Forest Service in
the development of fin environmental monitoring system for individual
Forests or'other management units.
(10)	'The results of work with the Forest Service will be used
to evaluate forest management practices of other agencies such as
the Bureaufof Land Management and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
(11)	'Review the status of research on improved timber manage-
ment practices now being conducted by the Forest Service and other
research groups. Evaluate the possibility of accelerated implementa-

-------
Page 16
tion of improved environmental practices now being researched, e.g.
increased slash utilization, tree genetics, etc.
The two critical areas of mineral development where the regional
effort will be concentrated have already been identified. These
two areas are the oil shale region of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah and
the Fort Union coal development area of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota
and South Dakota.
The Interior Department is proposing a prototype oil shale leasing
program to stimulate development of the vast oil shale resources in
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Under this program, six leases would be
issued, two in each State. Major environmental problems will be con-
fronted from surface mining, tailings disposal, wastewater disposal
>
and wildlife disturbance. The regional office has been participating
in an intergovernmental, interagency task force charged with recommend-
ing lease sites, developing lease stipulations, developing the EIS
for .the leasing program and overseeing the actual development activities.
Region efforts during FY 73 will be concentrated on assisting the field
oil shale committee in developing environmental guidelines for the
implementation of general lease stipulations. This effort should be
completed by March 1.
I
Vast quantities of coal in the Fort Union formation of Montana,
"Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota lie under Federal lands managed
by BLM and the Forest Service. Pressures for development of these
resources are substantial. BLM and Forest Service offices are flooded

-------
Page 17
with lease applications. Many fragmented efforts by Federal, State,
local and private entities are being taken to evaluate the environmental
impact of developing this coal. Administrator Ruckelshaus has suggested
the need for an overview impact study of the entire coal development
area. The regional office will act as a catalyst to stimulate inter-
agency and intergovernmental cooperation in the development of these
resources. The regional office will provide technical assistance in the
analysis and evaluation of pollution problems upon request.
The regional office will analyze the existing situation regarding
water quality standards for waters flowing over and through Federal
lands. The adequacy of the standards will be evaluated and criteria
established for areas where standards are lacking or deficient. Legal
and institutional mechanisms will be established for promulgating such
standards' for Federal lands.
The regional office will establish interdisciplinary, intermedia
teams to contact and work with Federal agencies. Such teams were
utilized last fiscal year and meetings were held with three Forest
Service regions, the BLM Service Center, BLM Montana State Office and
the BLM State Directors. It is estimated that 25 Federal offices will
be,contacted during FY 73 to identify problems of mutual interest and
to work up remedies and working relationships. Working relationships
will be established with agencies involved in highway, airport, power-
plant and water resource projects and the '76 Olympics.
Probably the most important activity of the regional office during
FY 73 will be to assist Federal agencies in developing an inventory of

-------
Page 18
environmental conditions and problems on Federal lands and at Federal
facilities. The inventory will include point and diffuse sources
of pollution. The inventory information will be evaluated to determine
compliance with applicable standards and guidelines and to establish
priority areas and projects requiring remedial action.
The regional office will continue to provide technical assistance
to Federal facilities in seeking compliance with applicable standards
and guidelines. It is estimated that performance plans and specifica-
tions will be reviewed for 25 wastewater treatment facilities and 25
air quality treatment facilities. It is also estimated that 20
Refuse Act permit applications will be reviewed and processed for
various Federal installations in the region. Under section 1716(e) of the
Airport and Airways Development Act, it is estimated that 10 airport
projects will require EPA certification that the design, construction
and operation is in compliance with air and water standards. The
regional office will also review the fiscal plans for pollution control
projects at Federal facilities to assist in establishing priorities.
