                             ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
  I                                  Purpose Statement

P|           The Environmental Protection Agency was established on December 2y
I  I      1970, by Reorganization Plan Number 3 of 1970.  This reorganization
        provided for the consolidation of pollution control and abatement
0        activities which were previously organizationally assigned to several
        Departments and Agencies, as follows:
r-»         Department of the Interior
k •*           - all functions carried out by the Federal Water Quality
               Administration; and
,. I           - certain pesticide research functions carried out by the
               Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife.
  I         Dej)artweiitL ofHeaJ th, Educati on and Wei fare
             ~ all functions of the National Air Pollution Control Administration;
             - all functions of the Bureau of Solid Waste Management;
             - all functions of the Bureau of Water Hygiene;
             - portions of the Bureau of Radiological Health; and
  J           - pesticides research and standards-setting programs of the Food
*  *             and Drug Administration.
  |         Department of Agriculture
             - pesticides label registration authority of the Agriculture
  I             Research Service.
           Atomic Energy Commission            !
  j           - environmental radiation protection standard-setting function.
           Council on[ Efiyironmental Quality
  1           - authority to perform general ecological research.
  |         Federal Radiation Council
             - all functions.

-------
/       The basic purpose for bringing these functions and responsibilities
   together to form the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was to permit
   an aggressive and coordinated attack on the problems of environmental
   pollution.  EPA is concerned with the environment as a single interrelated
   system and is directing a coordinated research, monitoring, standard-
   setting, and enforcement effort to restore and protect the quality of
   the Nation's environment.

        The Agency's budget proposals are presented under three appropriations
   with the major activities under each as follows:

        1.  Operations, Research, and Facilities - This appropriation covers
   the following activities to support a national program of environmental
   protection and pollution abatement:

            a.  Abatementand control programs which provide for the
   establishment of environmental standards, monitoring and surveillance
   activities, planning and technical assistance support to State and local
   agencies to improve environmental programs, and enforcement activities
   to assure compliance.

            b.  Manpower development programs to increase the supply and
   improve the performance of manpower required for environmental
   protection agencies.

            c.  Research, development, and demonstration programs to
   determine the caus.e-and-effect relationships of environmental pollutants
   and to develop and demonstrate technological solutions for pollution
   abatement and control problems.

            d-  Facilities programs  to support the construction of  new  EPA
   facilities and provide for the alterations, repairs, and  improvements
   of existing EPA facilities.

            e.  Program  direction and support activities to  provide both
   centralized and regional  leadership and administrative support for the
   Agency's programs.

         2.  Construction Grants  - This appropriation  provides the grants
   to  local public agencies  for  the  construction of municipal waste water
   treatment facilities  pursuant to  Section  8 of the  Federal  Water  Pollution
   Control Act, as amended.

         3.  Scientific Activities Overseas  (Special  Foreign  Currency
   Program) - This appropriation supports  cooperative programs  of research
   and demonstration  to  find  solutions to  environmental  problems which  are
   of  interest to both  the United States and a  cooperating  foreign  agency
   or  country.

Introduction/Overview

-------
     EPA's programs are conducted in large measure by the operating
offices for water qualitys air pollution controls  solid waste  management,
pesticides, and radiation.  These offices are in turn supported  by
field groups located in the various States.   One of the major  organizational
activities during this year will  be to bring these field  activities  together
along regional  lines and to establish strong regional leadership.

                                Planning

Purpose

     EPA's planning programs include three general  kinds  of activities:
(1) financial assistance to regional, State, and local  planning agencies;
(2) the administration of the grants used to provide this financial
assistance; and (3) direct performance of broad  scope planning in
cooperation with States and other Federal agencies.  These programs
enable accurate definition of pollution problems and development of
cost-effective systems and facilities for pollution control.  They also
help ensure that control efforts within regions, States,  and localities
are complementary and that they are capable of meeting applicable
pollution control criteria and standards.

     The programs provide grant support for water pollution control  and
solid waste management planning by non-Federal agencies.   They also
support Federal interagency river basin studies, joint Federal-State
river basin studies, and a study to develop a national system for storage
and disposal of hazardous wastes.  Compatibility between Federal and
non-Federal planning is maintained through Federal  guidelines and technical
assistance and other cooperative relationships between EPA and States and
communities.   (State, interstate, and local air pollution control planning
is carried out as a part of the activities supported under the program
">f grants to control agencies, described under the budget category
"Control Agency Support.")

     The overall purpose of EPA's planning activities is to provide a
rational basis for the Nation's pollution control efforts and to ensure
that the substantial and increasing  Federal investment in facilities
and control  programs is applied effectively.

$3,755,000
     EPA administers two grant programs for the  support  of non-Federal
planning—one in the area of water pollution control  and the  other  in
solid waste management.  Eligible recipients under these programs are
officially designated State, interstate, regional, and local  planning
agencies.  Both programs emphasize the need for  coordination  of the
planning they support with land-use and other related ongoing planning.
EPA's regional staffs work closely with the grant recipients  to assure
that the planning is of high quality,  that it is directed toward prevailing
local, State, and Federal pollution criteria and standards, and that it
is consistent with related Federal planning.

     An increase of $3,300,000 for the water quality  management planning
program is requested to extend grant support for river basin, metropolitan,
and regional planning to additional areas.  This increased planning
capability is needed in critical  areas to assure that investment in
municipal sewage treat        .ilities  under the  proposed $6 billion
Federal construction grants program is applied in a cost-effective  manner.

     Although water quality management planning  is greatly needed  for
timelys coordinated, and effective compliance with established water
quality standards, the rapid expansion of the construction grants
program has greatly increased the urgency of such planning in order to
protect this large Federal investment.  Reflecting this  urgency,
regulations published in July 1970, require such planning as  a precondition
for the awarding of construction grants.  Many areas  will be  unable to
meet this requirement without Federal  planning grants.

     During 1971 s 44 planning projects are being supported covering
about 15 percent of the Nation's population." The requested increase will
permit extending support to 69 projects in 1972, 25 more than in 1971,
covering about  18 percent of  the population.
                                      :|
     An increase of $4555000  for the solid waste management planning
program is  requested to expand the support for local  and regional  planning
which is being  initiated in 1971.  This will provide impetus for this new
activity to support meaningful planning close to the operating level of
solid wastes management.

     The Solid  Waste Disposal Act of 1965 authorized grants to assist
State and interstate agencies in solid waste planning.   In 1971, 51 State
and interstate  projects are being supported and about the same number is
expected in  1972.  About 26 State and  interstate plans will be completed
in 1971 and  10  to 12 more in  1972.  The Resource Recovery Act of 1970 added
authority to provide grants for local  and regional planning.  While the
                                                                    AC 1-3

-------
State and interstate plans are quite general  and broad in scope,  local
and regional planning will be oriented to operations dealing directly
with the special solid waste problems of a particular locality and the
practical aspects (equipment, facilities, personnel, procedures,  and
organization) of the solutions.  Such planning is urgently needed to
build on the bases provided by the State and interstate plans and to
influence community solid waste handling practices directly.

      During 1971 planning grants will be awarded («r readied for award)
for about 18 local and regional planning projects.  These projects will
be continued in 1972 and about five new projects will be started  with the
requested increase.

                                                             Increase or

Planning grants administration      $685,000   $1,274,000	$589,000

      Administration of the previously described water quality management
and solid wastes management planning grant programs is provided through
regional and headquarters staffs.  This administration includes
preapplication assist   .  "   prospective applicant agencies,  review of
applications to deterimrie the need *,r and the prospective quality of the
proposed projects, and, dun"no * .ration of projects, provision of guidance
and monitoring to ensure mair ,<*nance of high planning standards and
attainment of planning objectives.

      An increase of $200,000 for the water quality management planning
program is requested to provide the additional staff necessary to
adequately administer the expanded program.  This increase is necessary
not only to meet the needs of the increased grant work load but also to
upgrade assistance and surveillance for the total grant work load, thereby
ensuring higher quality plans that, in turn, will contribute to more
cost-effective construction grant projects.

      An increase of $389,000 for the solid waste management planning
program is requested to provide the additional staff necessary to
adequately administer the expanded program.  As in the case of the water
quality planning program, the increase is needed to increase the
administrative staff so as to be able to handle the increased planning  grant
work load and to permit more effective administration of the total program
in order to improve the quality of the resulting plans.  The increased
staffing for both this program and the water quality planning grants
program will be placed largely in EPA's regional offices where direct  and
effective liaison with grantees and potential grantees can be maintained*
                                                                   AC 1-4

Federal planning	   $5,896,000   $14,568,000     $886728OQO

      EPA carries out several direct planning activities to support the
abatement and prevention of environmental pollution.   These include
interagency water resource planning, joint Federal-State water pollution
control planning, review of construction grant applications for conformity
to approved plans, and conduct of a study to develop a plan for a system
of national disposal sites for hazardous wastes.   This planning is carried
out through a combination of contract and intramural  efforts, the latter
performed largely by EPA's regional offices.

      An increase of $405,000 for the interagency water resources planning
program is requested to initiate two new river basin studies.  This increase
is necessary to permit EPA to carry out fully its obligations as a member
of the Federal Water Resources Council.

      EPA participates as a member of the Council, along with other
Federal agencies having water-related interests and responsibilities.
The Council, through its member agencies, conducts broad scale planning studies
of river basin areas deemed critical from a water resources viewpoint.
During 1971, 20 such studies are under way.  In 1972, two new ones are
to be initiated with EPA support and it is for this purpose that the
increase of $405,000 is requested, $229,000 of which will go to other
Federal agencies participating in the studies.

      For the joint Federal-State river basin planning program, an
increase of $4,550,000 is requested to support development of mathematical
models of 100 most critical and complex basins.  This increase is required
to provide a sounder basis for water pollution control planning which,
in turn, will provide a sounder basis for the investment in municipal
waste water treatment systems and facilities under the proposed $6 billion,,
three-year construction grants program.

      Adequate analytical tools are generally lacking in State, regional,
and local water pollution control planning.  Mathematical models will
permit planners to determine in advance4the pollution abatement effectiveness
and the costs of alternative courses of control action.  Planning based on
such models will result in more cost-effective control and abatement
programs.  The cumulative effect of better planning in the 100 most
critical and complex basins, therefore, should be a better return on
Federals State, and local dollars  invested in water pollution abatement
and control.

      An increase of $2S050S000 for the direct assistance  and review
program is  requested to increase aid to States regional, and metropolitan
water  quality planning agencies to ensure  effective plans  and conformance
of construction grant applications with  those  plans.  This increase is
needed to provide the additional staff to  work directly  with the  non-Federal

                                                                    AC  1-5

-------
water quality planning agencies to help them develop high quality
plans3 to review those plans, and to review construction grant
applications for conformity to the plans.

      To a large degree, the cost-effectiveness of the waste treatment
facilities constructed with Federal  grant support will depend on
sound planning.  Thus, every reasonable effort to improve the quality of
that planning and to relate the planning to construction grant projects
should be warranted.

      An increase of $156673000 for the National Disposal Site Study is
required under the Resource Recovery Act of 1970 to fully implement the
nine contracts and intramural activities initiated in 1971.   This increase
is needed to permit completion of the required study by the  November
1972 due date.

      The Study is to result in a report and plan for creating a  system
of national disposal sites for the storage and disposal of hazardous
wastes, including radiological, toxic chemical, biological,  and other
materials.  It is being carried out primarily by contract, augmented with
interagency agreements and a small intramural effort.

      Development and initiation of nine contracts is being  carried out
in 1971.  The requested increase will enable full-year operation  of the
contracts and the support of additional staff needed to coordinate and
monitor the program and prepare the required report and plan.

      The Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970 authorized a planning
and demonstration program for pollution control in the Great Lakes.  In
1971 an intramural analytical study is identifying and describing critical
problems, and, on this basis, contracts are being awarded to State and
other public agencies in the Great Lakes area to develop pollution control
plans and to demonstrate new methods and techniques for pollution control--
focusing on a number of the most critical problems.  These projects will
be carried at the same level of funding in 1972,  The small increase
requested is to cover mandatory costs associated with salaries and related
expenses.

                          Abatement and  Control

                       Monitoring and Surveillance

Purpose

     The Agency's monitoring,  inventory.and surveillance programs  involve
the collection of environmental  quality  data and information on  sources
of pollution.  These efforts directly support the other environmental
protection programs carried out by EPA and by State and local  pollution
control agencies.  The information and data collected are utilized in  the
development of environmental protection  criteria and standards,  for
determining compliance with standards, and for initiation of necessary
abatement measures.  These data are also used to formulate effective
pollution control plans and to formulate and manage EPA's pollution control
programs.  The programs also provide an   early warning system by which
emerging environmental hazards can be identified so that effective control
programs can be designed to deal with them.

     The programs cover the monitoring of ambient air quality, water
quality, pesticides, and radiological materials.  They also cover  the
surveillance of motor vehicle emission and the collection of information
on municipal and industrial waste water  sources and solid waste  systems.
For the most part, these efforts are carried out in conjunction  with
similar programs operated by State, local,and other Federal agencies.
A guiding principal is to support and complement the efforts of these
other agencies.  The general pattern, particularly in the monitoring of
air and water quality, is for EPA to provide overall national direction
of the surveillance system, operate its  key stations or elements and
provide support and assistance through laboratory services, introduction
of new monitoring and analytical technology3 and the maintenance of a
central capability for storage,  evaluation, interpretation,and dissemination
of data.  The overall purpose of EPA is to encourage and support the
creation and operation of integrated Federal-State-local monitoring,
inventory, and surveillance systems.

     EPA currently operates four enviornmental  quality monitoring
programs—covering air quality, water quality,  pesticide, and
radiological monitoring.  Each of these programs includes a network of
monitoring stations strategically located throughout the Nation at which
samples are collected for subsequent analyses (except in the case of
automated stations where analyses are an integrated part of sample
collection).  These networks are supported by laboratory units  to perform
sample analyses and by computerized data storage and retrieval  systems
to handle the data developed.  The data developed by these programs are
utilized in the development of environmental  criteria and standards, for
the identification of needed abatement actions, for planning, and for
other purposes.  These data are also made available to State and local
pollution control agencies and other Federal  agencies to be utilized for
similar purposes.

     Additionally, EPA operates a community  studies program to collect
epidemiological information on the effects of pesticides on the health
of man.  Although fixed-station monitoring networks are not used, these
studies are similar to the above programs in that they develop data on
the environmental levels of pesticides.

     An increase of $278,000 for the air quality monitoring program is
requested to continue operation of the 1971  improvements of the
monitoring network.  These improvements are  required to effectively
monitor compliance with the national ambient air quality standards being
set pursuant to the Clean Air Amendments of 1970 and to support timely
enforcement actions where noncompliance is detected.  The increase will
support the additional personnel added in 1971  to effect these
improvements.

     The air quality monitoring program currently operates 300 Federal
monitoring stations.  These stations are complemented by 2,000 State
and local stations to form an integrated Federal-State-!oca! system which
presently covers approximately 40 percent of the Nation's urban
population.  In addition to the operation of these stations, the program
supports the State and local programs by verifying sampling results,
calibrating instrumentation to ensure consistent results, and monitoring
pollutants for which the State and local agencies have no monitoring or
analytical capability.  The program also provides for the centralized
storage and processing of all Federal, State5and local data in the
National Aerometric Data Information Service,  a computerized data storage,
computation, and retrieval  system.
                                                                    AC 2-4

-------
     In 1971, 60 of the 300 Federal  air quality stations are being fully
equipped for suspended particulate and gas monitoring.   During 1972,
these improved stations will be brought into operation  and their frequency
of sampling will be increased from once every two weeks to once a week.
The increase requested is to provide the additional  staff to effect these
plans.

     An increase of $254,000 for the water quality monitoring program is
requested to support additional positions to increase the sampling
frequency and parameter coverage of the existing 875-station water quality
monitoring network.  These improvements are required to more effectively
monitor compliance with established Federal-State water quality standards
and to indicate the need for enforcement actions where  noncompliance  is
detected.

     The water quality monitoring program currently operates 420 monitoring
stations and supports3 through reimbursements, the operation of an
additional 455 stations by the Geological Survey.  As with the air quality
monitoring network, these Federal stations are complemented by State
monitoring stations to form integrated regional water quality monitoring
networks.  Also, in addition to the operation of monitoring stations, the
water quality monitoring program supplements and supports State efforts
by introducing new technology, providing verification of data and
analytical quality control, and monitoring pollutants outside of State
capability.  The program further provides for the storage and retrieval  of
both Federal and State data in a computerized data system called STORET.

     In 1971, the water quality monitoring network is being somewhat
improved to provide increased sampling frequency and pollutant coverage.
Also, planning for future expansion of both the Federal and State portions
of the network is under way.  During 1972, these improvements and planning
efforts will be continued.  The increase requested is for this continuation
effort.

     An increase of $293,000 for the radiological monitoring program is
requested to support additional personnel and equipment purchases to improve
the effectiveness of the program in detecting the sources of radioactive
materials found in the environment and to initiate the monitoring of
krypton-85 and tritium.  The operational improvements are needed to better
assess the adequacy of radiological protection practiced by nuclear
facilities and operations.  The initiation of krypton-85 and tritium
monitoring is required to provide surveillance of these radionuclides which
are being increasingly produced by the nuclear power and nuclear fuel
reprocessing industries.
                                                                    AC 2-5

-------
     The radiological monitoring program operates sampling networks  to
measure radiological levels in air, water, milk, and total human diet.
The data collected are employed for the development of radiation protection
guidelines, policies, and standards; for assessing compliance with
guidelines and standards and identifying needed abatement actions; and  for
measuring the effectiveness of radiation control programs and identifying
problems needing special study or research.  The program is currently
being redirected to provide better information on the sources of
racl 1 onuelides measured in the environment.  During 1972, this redirection
will be continued and the monitoring of krypton-85 and tritium will  be
initiated.  The requested increase is to support these activities,

     An increase of $280,000 for the pesticide monitoring program is
requested to support special intensive studies on the movement and fate
of certain pesticides, particularly 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T,and piclorum, and of
certain other contaminants, particularly mercury, cadmium,and other heavy
metals.  These studies are to complement current and continuing
monitoring to provide scientific data necessary for the adequate evaluation
of label registration applications and residue tolerance petitions.   They
are also needed to provide basic information with which to assess critical
pesticide pollution problems and to offer technical assistance to State
and other agencies.  The increase will support additional field and
laboratory personnel to conduct the planned studies.

     Under the pesticide monitoring program, pesticide residues are sampled
in soils, in land run-off waters and sediments,and in crops.  Cropland
sampling is being done in 43 States and noncropland sampling is being
accomplished in 10 States.  Sampling in 20 cities is also included in this
network monitoring.  Special studies of pesticide pollution problems and
accidents are also conducted.  These include investigations of the movement
and fate of pesticides, and the residues of mercury and other heavy metals
used in chemicals for pest control, and ecological effect studies.  The
purpose of both the network monitoring and special studies is to assess the
amounts and types of pesticide residues in the environment.

     In 1971, network monitoring is being carried out in the number of States
and cities cited above  and special studies are being conducted in corn
growing areas, cattle feedlots, commercial catfish farms, and peanut,
vegetable, and fruit growing areas.  Mercuric, arsenic»and herbicide residue
situations are also being closely studied.  In  1972, it is planned to
continue the network monitoring and to continue and expand the special
studies.  The requested increase is to support  the expanded special studies.

     An increase of $452,000 for the pesticide  community  studies  is
requested to expand specialized epidemiological studies of the effects of
pesticides on human health and to improve data  processing and analyses.
This work is needed to enable review of applications for  label registration,
and petitions for residue tolerances, to  provide better guidance  and
assistance in the control of pesticide usage,and to better assess current
and future pesticide pollution problems.  The increase will support
additional personnel and  contracts  necessary to carry out this expanded work.
                                                                    AC 2-6

-------
     The community studies program produces epidemiological  information
on the effects of environmental levels of pesticides on  human health.
Both long-and short-term clinical  and subclinical studies are conducted.
These include the collection and analysis of samples of human tissues
from cooperating hospitals, other pathological  studies and various
epidemiological studies designed to trace either acute or chronic effects
of pesticides on certain occupational groups as well as  the  9eneral
population.  The results of these studies provide the scientific basis  for
establishing pesticide residue tolerances for foods, allowable uses  of  various
pesticides and the levels of pesticides that can be safely allowed in the
environment.

     Currently, the community studies program is being conducted primarily
through contracts with 14 universities and State health  departments.
Additional intramural work is being carried out to supplement the contract
work.  In 19729 it is planned to continue and expand the current program  to
undertake several important specialized studies in mutagenicity, sputum
cytology, and retrospective morbidity and mortality--areas where scientific
information for adequately assessing the health effects  of pesticide
exposure is particularly insufficient.  The requested increase is to support
these lines of investigation.
Pollution source inventories

$1,823,000
     EPA's pollution source inventories and surveillance program has four
major parts: a municipal waste inventory and an industrial waste inventory,
both pertaining to sources of waste water discharges, a solid waste data
program and a motor vehicle surveillance program.  All four activities are
directed toward collecting information and data on sources of pollution
and their discharges into or impact on the environment.  This information
is used for evaluating pollution problems and pollution control needs, for
assessing pollution control practices and compliance with established
control regulations or standards»and for planning pollution control programs
and estimating pollution abatement costs.  Each of these activities also
serves one or more special purposes.

     An increase of $800,000 for the municipal and industrial waste
inventories is requested to continue the industrial waste inventory
initiated in 1971, to expand this inventory to include data derived from
the Corps of Engineers'  waste discharge permit program, and to continue
and improve the municipal waste inventory.  This work is needed to provide
the detailed information about municipal and industrial waste water
sources necessary to carry out viable water quality management planning
and to adequately evaluate applications for grants for the construction of
municipal waste treatment facilities pursuant to current regulations
requiring region-wide planning.  The increase is to support additional
personnel and data processing costs.

                                                                    AC 2-7

-------
     The municipal waste inventory contains statistics on 20,000 municipal
waste treatment plants.  These.statistics include the location, size and
design characteristics of each facilitys the quantity and character of the
waste effluents discharged, and the abatement requirements and compliance
schedules imposed by water quality standards implementation plans pending
enforcement actions and other regulations.   In short, the inventory
provides a concise but comprehensive characterization of the nation's
municipal waste treatment systems.  The inventory is periodically updated
with information collected from the State water pollution control agencies.
However, in 1971, to provide for a more current inventory of informations
a continuous updating procedure is being initiated.   Data from the
construction grants program, from water quality standards and enforcement
activities, and from other sources are added to the inventory as it becomes
available.  This continuous updating procedure will  be continued and
improved in 1972.

     The industrial waste inventory is being initiated in 1971.  Heretofores
there has been no complete or comprehensive inventory of the Nation's
industrial waste water sources and this has inhibited an accurate assessment
of industrial waste pollution problems, comprehensive water quality
management planningsand Federal and State regulatory activities.  The
inventory will contain information on the size and type of the industrial
plants and their pollution control facilities, on the quantity and quality
of their waste discharges, and on abatement needs and pending abatement
requirements and schedules.  Data are  beinn collected in two ways: through
questionnaires mailed to individual manufacturing plants and, eventually,
through information received in applications for permits under the Corps
of Engineers waste discharge permit program.  In 1971, 10,000 questionnaires
are being mailed, and the processing of these and the start-up of the permit
system are being initiated.  In 1972, the processing of questionnaires will
be continued and the processing of information from an estimated 40,000
applications received under the waste discharge permit program will be
initiated.

     For the water quality and inventory data storage and retrieval system
(STORET), an increase of $225,000 is requested to provide system
improvements enabling the processing of increased data from the expanded
inventory and water quality monitoring programs arid to add teleprocessing
units in six State water pollution control agencies.  These improvements
are needed to better utilize the inventory and water quality data being
collected.  Additional personnel and equipment costs would be  covered by
the requested increase.

     The STORET system consists of a central computer and computer
programming and operation capability located in Washington, D.C., to which
39 field offices  (including EPA's regional 'offices and several  State water
pollution control agencies) are connected by teleprocessing units.  These
units provide the field offices with full access to and  utilization of the
central computer  for the storage  and retrieval of inventory and monitoring
data and for the  performance of various computations to  facilitate analyses
of these data,  in  1971, the system is  being improved and expanded to handle
                                                                    AC 2-8

-------
the additional industrial  waste inventory data and the increased flow of
data from the municipal  waste inventory and water quality monitoring
programs.  In 1972, this improvement and expansion effort will  be continued,
principally to provide the additional  capability of processing  the
industrial waste inventory information from the estimated 40,000 waste
discharge permit applications.  A part of this improvement will  involve the
completion of coding of additional  hydrologic maps*  Such coding is
necessary to reference the location of waste sources and monitoring  stations
to facilitate the storage and retrieval of data.  Also, teleprocessing units
will be added for an additional six State water pollution control agencies.

     An increase of $300,000 for the solid waste data program is requested
to continue and expand a data collection network initiated in 1971 and
successfully tested at pilot scale.  This expansion is required to assemble
information not heretofore collected on community solid waste handling
programs, facilities, and practices so that national assessments and
estimates can be made and basic data can be obtained to improve technical
assistance to State and local agencies.  The increase will support contracts
to carry out this expanded program.

     The program collects basic information on the composition of municipal
solid wastes, on collection and disposal methods, on capital and operating
costs, and on other features of solid waste management in communities.
This information is providing for the first time an accurate characterization
of community solid waste handling programs and a data base to share with
State and local agencies.  The program was initiated in early 1971 as a pilot
program collecting data in three Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA's).  This pilot program has been carefully evaluated and found
successful.   In 1972, it is planned to continue the effort in the three
SMSA's and to extend it to nine more SMSA's, for a total of 12.

     An  increase of $498,000 for the motor vehicle surveillance program is
requested to continue the program and expand ft to include coverage of 1972-
model-year vehicles.  This expanded activity is needed to monitor the
emission control performance of in-use vehicles so that nonconformance with
Federal  emission standards can be detected and appropriate action initiated
to require the manufacturer to correct the deficiency  pursuant to new
authority under Section 207 of the Clean Air Amendments of 1970.

     The program supplements  the testing of new vehicles  (both prototype
and  production-line testing) by monitoring the  performance of emission
controls  of  in-use vehicles for determination of conformance with Federal
standards.   Detection of noncompliance in a class  or model of vehicles can
be used  to require the manufacturer to correct  the deficiency through recall
or other procedures,  Currently, light duty vehicles of model years  1968
through  1971  are being monitored in six metropolitan areas and gasoline and
diesel powered heavy duty vehicles are being tested in two cities.   It is
planned  in 1972 to continue these surveillance  programs and expand their
coverage to  include 1972-model vehicles.
                                                                    AC 2-9

Water supply studies and
 inventories	;	     $159,000     $388.000	$229.000

     An increase of $229,000 is requested for this program to evaluate
the water supply programs of an additional 10 States and to initiate
an inventory of community water supplies.   This work is of vital
importance to the protection of the public health as shown by the
deficiencies found in the Nation's water supply systems in the Community
Water Supply Study recently completed and published.  The increase will
support additional personnel and contract costs to carry out this planned
work.

     The community water supply inventory program is directed toward
determining the adequacy of the Nation's water supply system through
maintenance of an inventory of community water supplies, and toward
evaluating individual State water supply programs.  In 1971, the Community
Water Supply Study was completed.  This study covered facilities in eight
metropolitan areas and in the State of Vermont.  The study evaluated the
degree to which a representative sampling of water supplies throughout the
Nation met the provisions of Federal drinking water standards.  It revealed
major deficiencies in community drinking water supplies, particularly in
the areas of plant facilities, operator training and State inspection and
technical assistance programs.  The study has increased State concern as
to the adequacy of their water supplies and has led to requests from a
number of States for in-depth evaluations of their respective programs.  As
a result, evaluations of the programs of Vermont, Tennessee, Maryland, and
New Mexico are currently under way or have been completed.

     In 1972, evaluations of the water supply programs of an additional 10
States will be conducted.  Additionally,, it is planned to initiate an
inventory of community water supplies, last done in 1963.  This inventory
will provide accurate, detailed information on the number and characteristics
of community water supplies throughout the Nation and will permit
extrapolation of the statistical sampling information obtained through the
Community Water Supply Study referred to above.

PujrpjDse

     Regulatory controls—the development of criteria and  standards  for
the protection of the environment, the use of permits and  premarket
product registration, and related enforcement activities—lay at the
center of EPA's program.   EPA currently sets national criteria and
standards for the protection of the ambient environment which include
ambient air quality standards, water quality standards, radiation
protection guidelines and standards, and standards  for the protection
of public drinking water supplies.  Pollution from  specific sources
or classes of source are regulated by setting emission standards for
both mobile and stationary sources of air pollutants, the  review of
permits issued by the Corps of Engineers for controlling discharges
into navigable waters, the development of guidelines  covering solid
waste management practices, and registration of pesticide-product labels
and fuel additives to regulate the sale of these products.

     EPA's direct enforcement activities involve surveillance and
inspection to determine compliance with standards,  collection of
evidential data, and the conduct of enforcement proceedings.   Enforcement
actions are directed toward air pollution from mobile and stationary
sources, abatement of air and water pollution under the conference
procedure and through direct legal actions, the post-market regulation
of pesticides and fuel additives, and the certification of public drinking
water supplies.

     EPA is responsible for the establishment of certain standards  and
guidelines for protection of the environment.  These include national
ambient air quality standards, water quality standards for interstate  '
waters, and radiation protection policies, guidelines and standards.   In
addition, legislation has been proposed to enable the establishment of
water quality standards for ground waters, navigable waters,and the
coastal  waters of the contiguous zone of the United States.   These
standards establish limits for the levels of specific pollutants or
classes  of pollutants that may be allowed to occur in the environment.
Accordingly, they differ from effluent, emission, or other pollution-
source standards which establish limits on the discharges of pollutants
into the environment.  The establishment of environmental standards
involves the review of available research and other technical information
relative to health, economic, and other effects of various pollutants;
the determination of allowable levels; and the promulgation of specific
enforceable standards.

     For the activities related to the establishment of national ambient
air quality standards, a decrease of $125,000 is planned for 1972.   This
decrease results from nonrecurring contract costs incurred in 1971.

     The Clean Air Amendments of 1970 require that EPA establish primary
and secondary national ambient air quality standards for individual  air
pollutants which adversely affect public health and welfare and which
result from emissions from numerous and diverse mobile and stationary
sources.  The primary standards are for the protection of public health,
whereas the secondary standards are for the protection against adverse
effects on vegetation, animals, materials, weather, visibility, and
personal comfort and well-being. Following promulgation of the standards,
the States are required to develop and submit for Federal approval
implementation plans to obtain compliance with the primary standards within
three years after Federal approval and compliance with the secondary
standards within a reasonable period after Federal approval.  Where the
States fail to submit such plans or fail to submit approvable plans, EPA
is required to develop and promulgate such plans or appropriate portions
thereof.

     The Amendments set forth specific requirements and deadlines for
establishing the national ambient air quality standards.  Precedent to the
promulgation of a standard, EPA must issue and publish air quality criteria
which support the standards by delineating the latest scientific knowledge
about the effects of the given air pollutant on public health and welfare
and by providing related information pertaining to atmospheric effects and
other factors which  influence the effects of the pollutant on man and the
environment. Additionally, EPA must issue and publish information on

                                                                    AC 3-4

-------
available air pollution control  techniques  and their  costs  to  further
support the standards  to be established.   Following these two  steps
for each standard,  EPA is thus  enabled to promulgate  the standard.
Periodic revision and  updating  of standards must follow the same  pattern.

     The Amendments require that standards  be  promulgated  by April
1971 for those five pollutants—sulfur oxides, particulate  matter,
carbon monoxide, photochemical  oxidants,  and hydrocarbons—for which
air quality criteria and control technique documents  had been  issued
prior to enactment of the Amendments.   For other pollutants, the
Amendments require that the air quality criteria and  control techniques
documents be issued in conjunction with the publication of proposed  standards.

     Primary and secondary standards are being proposed for the  five
aforementioned pollutants plus  nitrogen oxides.  Also, the  air quality
criteria and control techniques document for nitrogen oxides is  being
issued in conjunction with this action.  The promulgation  of these
standards will be completed in  April  1971, to meet  the statutory deadline.
It is currently planned that these standards will comprise  the national
ambient air quality standards,  and that the control  of other air pollutants
will be achieved through the establishment and implementation  of performance
standards for new stationary sources,  hazardous emission  standards,  mobile
source emission standards, and  fuel additive regulations.

     During the remainder of 1971 and during 1972, attention will be
devoted to the revision and updating of criteria, control  technique  documents,
and standards as necessitated by new scientific knowledge  and  new
information.  Particular attention will be given to  assessing  the type
of standards appropriate for short-term exposures to air  pollutants  to
determine needed revision of the established standards in  this regard.

     An increase of $2,500,000 is requested for the  establishment of
water quality standards for ground water and iptrastate  navigable waters
pursuant to the Administration's proposed legislation (S.  1013)  to  amend
Section 10 of the  Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as  amended.   Existing
provisions of the Act enable the establishment of standards for only
interstate waters; the proposed legislation seeks to extend the  authority to
the waters mentioned. Also included in this requested increase is an amount
of $300,000 to enable participation with other Federal agencies  and the
Canadian government in the International Field Year on the  Great Lakes.
This effort will comprise a comprehensive study of Lake Ontario  resulting in
a detailed description of the water quality of the Lake which  can be used to
assess  the adequacy of and initiate the  necessary revision  of existing water
quality standards  for this body of water.

     Under existing legislation, water quality standards  are being established
for  the interstate  and coastal  waters  9f the  50 States,  Puerto Rico, Virgin
Islands, District  of Columbia,  and  Guam.  These jurisdictions have developed
and  adopted standards and submitted them for  EPA approval—thus establishing
Federal-State standards.   For a few waters  or pollutants, where the States
have failed to  adopt approvable standards and it has not  been possible to
secure  the adoption of such standards  through mutual discussions, EPA has used
its  authority to promulgate Federal standards.   Pursuant to the definitions
of  the  Acts the standards  consist  of  a designation of water uses, a
                                                                   AC 3-5

-------
prescription of water quality criteria to protect  these  uses,  and  an
implementation plan delineating abatement requirements,  abatement
schedules, and other actions that the States  will  use to bring about
compliance with the standards.

     During 1971, the establishment of interstate  standards  is being
completed.  All of the States and jurisdictions  have adopted and
submitted standards and these have been either fully or  partially  approved
as Federal standards.  The principal activity during this year is
negotiating with those States for which only  partial approval  of their
standards have been given—these negotiations to resolve outstanding  issues
preventing full approval.  Additionally, the  monitoring  of progress and
compliance with the implementation plans of the standards is being carried
out and the upgrading and revision of standards  is being achieved  where
this is found necessary by virtue of new scientific knowledge  on water
quality requirements, changed water use patterns,  changed waste discharge
patterns, or other appropriate reasons:

     During 1972, the monitoring and necessary upgrading of established
standards for interstate waters will be continued.  In addition, the
establishment of standards for intrastate navigable waters and ground
waters will be initiated if the proposed enabling  legislation  is enacted.
This work will involve the development and promulgation  of regulations  on
water use designations, water quality requirements and other features of
acceptable standards, the provision of advice and  assistance to the States
in their development and adoption of standards, the review of  standards,
submitted by the States, and the development  and promulgation  of  Federal
standards where necessitated by inadequate State actions.  Relative to  the
International Field Year on the Great Lakes,  extensive water quality
sampling and related field work will be carried out on Lake Ontario to
provide a complete and detailed description of the quality of  the  Lake.

     An increase of $502,000 is requested (1) to continue the  support of
a comprehensive review of the adequacy of existing radiation protection
guidelines heretofore issued by the Federal Radiation Council  (FRC),  and
(2) to develop additional or revised radiation standards for specific
problems such as the protection of uranium miners.  This work  is  essential
to keep pace with the growing nuclear industry.

     EPA has two responsibilities relative to the establishment of
radiation standards and  guidelines for protection of the environment.  The
first of these, formerly exercised by FRC, is the formulation  of basic
Federal policy on radiation protection and the issuance of radiation
protection guidelines to be used by all Federal agencies concerned with
radiation control.  Guidelines covering total human exposure to
radionuclides and exposure to specific radionuclides—iodine-131,
strontium-89, strontium-90, and radium-226—were  set by FRC and are
currently applicable.  These guidelines, however, are far from being
comprehensive in their coverage of specific radionuclide or their coverage
of specific  radiation-protection situations.   Furthermore, they require
                                                                  AC 3-6

-------
re-evaluation in light of the growing nuclear industry and the growing
public concern about potential radiation hazards  associated with  this
industry's expansion.  The second responsibility, formerly that of the
Atomic Energy Commission, is the development and  promulgation  of
specific environmental radiation standards necessary to implement the
radiation protection guidelines.

     A comprehensive evaluation of the existing radiation protection
guidelines and their scientific bases will be initiated in 1971 and
continued through 1972.  This will be carried out principally  through
contracts with the National Academy of Sciences and the National  Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurement.  Also, during 1971 work  will
be initiated to review existing interim radiation standards for protection
of uranium miners to develop radiation standards  for additional
radionuclides for which radiation protection guidelines are in effect
and to develop alternative interim radiation protection guidelines
pending completion of the comprehensive study of existing guidelines.

     In 1972, the aforementioned 1971 activities  will be continued and
intensified.  This work will result in the completion of the comprehensive
study of existing guidelines and the development of new or revised policy,
guidelines5 and standards such as that pertaining to the control  of
uranium mine tailings.

                                                              Increase  or
                                         1971          1972     Decrease

Pollution source standards 	$6,276,000   $15,838,000    $9.562,000

     EPA is responsible for establishing various standards and regulations
to control the discharges of pollutants into the environment.   These
standards and regulations prescribe the specific requirements  necessary
to achieve compliance with the environmental standards previously discussed
and to otherwise prevent and control pollution.  They include  emission
standards for both stationary and mobile sources of air pollution, permits
for industrial waste water discharges into navigable waters, performance
standards for marine sanitation devices onboard vessels, guidelines
setting forth acceptable solid waste management practices, and registration
of pesticide-product labels  and fuel additives to regulate the sale of
these products.  These activities are carried out primarily with  intramural
resources.  They also generally entail  close cooperation with other Federal
agencies, States, municipalities, and private organizations.

     For the air program, an  increase of $3,430,000 is requested for the
development of performance standards for new stationary sources,  emissions
standards for hazardous air  pollutants, emmission standards for motor
vehicles and aircraft, and for  the registration of motor vehicle  fuel
additives.  This increase  is required to meet the substantially expanded
standards-setting provisions  of the  Clean Air Amendments of 1970.
                                                                    AC 3-7

-------
  1   \          The Amendments require (1)  that national  performance  standards  be
          set for the control of air pollution from new  facilities  in  designated
          classes of industries, (2) that  emission standards  be set  for hazardous
          materials for which it is not practical  to set ambient air quality
j  ,        standards, (3) that emission standards be set  for motor vehicles  and
          aircraft, and (4)  that motor vehicle fuel additives be registered and
,-.,        regulated,  The Amendments further specify that a series  of  special
I  |        studies and reports to Congress  be developed in connection with these
('"j        standards.

               In the area of performance  standards for  new stationary sources of
          air pollution, it is expected that 31 categories of industries will  be
          designated by the end of 1972.   Studies  for the first five categories to
          be designated will be completed  by the end of  1971, including steam  electric
          power plants, municipal incinerators, cement plants, and  nitric and
          sulfuric acid plants.  Studies of a second group of industries chosen to
          reflect a priority for the control of odor, fluoride, and  lead emissions will
          also be started.  Initial work  related to designating asbestos as a
          hazardous pollutant will be initiated in 1971.  In  the area  of mobile sources,
          the 1971 effort will include the work preparatory to developing the  reports
          required by the Amendments relative to the feasibility of future  emission
          standards.  Investigations will  be started to  assess the  requirements for
          aircraft emissions standards.  Notice of proposed rule making relative to
          motor vehicle fuel additives and studies of relevant scientific medical
          and economic data will be initiated.

               Performance standards for the first five  designated industries  will be
          promulgated in the early part of 1972.  The second  and third additional
          groups of industry categories,  covering 11 and 15 industries respectively,
          will be designated and standards will be issued for the second group late in
          1972.  Hazardous emission standards for asbestos, beryllium, and  mercury will
          also be issued in 1972.  In 1972, the studies  of the feasibility  of  emission
          standards for mobile sources will be continued and  expanded.  The aircraft
          studies will be extended in 1972 to characterize aircraft emissions, evaluate
          aircraft movements and to translate emissions  into  ambient air quality  levels
          near airports.  This data, together with investigations of gaseous  aircraft
          control technology, will permit standards for gaseous emissions  from aircraft
          to be set early in 1973.  The studies of fuel  additives will be  extended so
          as to permit the establishment of controls at the earliest possible  date.

               For the industrial waste discharge permit program, an increase  of
          $49700,000 is requested to fully implement the program.  The increase is
          necessary to support the development of this significant new avenue  for
          improving water pollution control.

               The program, announced by the President on December 25, 1970,  is based
          on existing authorities, particularly the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899,  It
          is a cooperative effort between EPA, the States, the U. -S. Army  Corps of
          Engineers, and the Department of Justice.  It will   involve the receipt and
                                                                              AC 3-8

review of permit applications from industries  discharging or proposing  to
discharge wastes into navigable waterways, issuance of permits  where
conformance to applicable water quality standards can be demonstrated,  and
various actions, including prosecution of permit violators,  to  bring about
and maintain conformance.

      To enable initiation of the program in late 1971, work is currently
underway to develop necessary memorandums of agreement between  Federal
participants, to develop guidelines, regulations and procedures, and to
recruit a core staff of technical and administrative personnel.  The
requested increase will allow full staffing and commencement of the
processing of permit applications in 1972.  Of the 41,000 applications
expected to be received in late 1971 and early 1972, the most critical  one-
third (13,500) will be completely processed and issued permits  during 1972.

      Initial funding of $450,000 is requested to commence an ocean disposal
control program in 1972.  This program is necessary to implement the
National Policy on Ocean Disposal.

      In October 1970, the Council on Environmental Quality issued a report,
Oceaii Dumping - A NationalPolicy, recommending the gradual  cessation of
most existing practices of disposing of wastes into marine water and the
prevention of most future practices of this type.  Pursuant to the
recommendations of this report, the President proposed in his Environmental
Message of February 8, 1971, the enactment of legislation to regulate and,
in some cases, ban the disposal of wastes in the ocean.  This would be
accomplished by a program of permit issuance to be administered by EPA, the
proposed legislation for which has been transmitted to the Congress.

      Meanwhile, with the requested increase, EPA will initiate a program
based on existing authorities.  It will develop criteria and guidelines for
acceptable ocean dumping practice and define the types of waste  dumping
which must be prohibited or restricted (based on research for which
additional funds are requested under Pollution Sources and Effects).  It will
also establish a cadre of technical experts in each of EPA's coastal and
Great Lakes  regional offices to carry out investigations of ocean dumping
practices and proposals.  This staff will provide advice and technical
assistance to State and  local agencies, to the Corps of Engineers, and to other
Federal agencies.  It will, where appropriate, help support abatement actions
under existing Federal  authorities.  This limited program capability will
provide a basis upon which to build a full-scale ocean dumping  permit program,
should the pending legislative proposal  (or a similar one) be enacted by
Congress.

      For the solid waste program,  an increase of $235,000  is  requested to
continue and  intensify  the development of solid waste management guidelines
pursuant to  requirements of the  Resources Recovery  Act of 1970.  Early
development  of these guidelines  is  needed to provide sound  requirements for
making  grant  awards for State  and local  planning and demonstration  of solid
waste management and resource  recovery techniques and  to provide sound
                                                                      AC  3-9

-------
guidance to Federal agencies for the correction and control  of solid
waste problems at Federal facilities.

      The Resource Recovery Act of 1970 requires that EPA develop solid
waste management guidelines.  These guidelines will be published and
available to State, local, and private agencies and will  be  used to
develop model codes, ordinances, and statutes, all  for the purpose of
assisting and promoting improved solid waste management nationwide. .These
guidelines will a.lso become obligatory standards for federally operated
and licensed solid waste management activities.  Finally, the Act requires
that resource recovery projects supported under the demonstration grants
program and projects supported under the solid waste planning grant program
conform to these guidelines.

      Guideline development is being carried out by a primarily intramural
effort, in consultation with State, interstate, and local solid waste
management agencies as well as other Federal agencies and private
organizations.  In 1971, efforts center around "state-of-the-art"
investigations leading to development of guidelines for municipal incineration
and sanitary landfill operations.  These guidelines will  be completed and
published in the Federal Register in 1972.  In 1972 the effort will be extended
to the study and development of guidelines for solid waste collection,
storage, transportation, and size reduction.  The requested increase will
support this expanded effort.

      For the pesticide program, an increase of $747,000 is  requested to
reduce the backlog and expedite the handling of label registration applications,
This increase is needed to alleviate the present substantial backlog and to
reduce the average time for the processing of applications.

      The Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rpdenticide Act provides that no
pesticide chemicals may be shipped in interstate commerce until shown to be
safe when used as directed and effective for the purpose claimed.  Also,
under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, any pesticide intended for use on
human or animal food must be  determined safe  for such use through
establishment of tolerance levels.  Pesticides must be registered  and
adequately labeled prior to interstate shipment.  EPA provides clearance of
proposed new labeling or labeling amendments and establishes tolerances or
exemptions in reference to food residues., Processing of applications and
tolerance petitions has been  too slow, depriving the ultimate user of the
latest authoritative guidance on the products  and sometimes denying him a
more effective or less hazardous chemical.  Delays also needlessly penalize
responsive manufacturers who  attempt to market products in compliance with
latest requirements.

      As of  February 1971, there were 4,993 applications and amendments to
applications awaiting registration action, about one-half of which are
expected to  be acted upon by  the end of 1971.  A total of about  28,500  are
expected during 1972,  There  is  also a February 1971 backlog of  33
residue tolerance petitions.  In addition, because regulations issued  in
1966 require renewal of  label registrations every  five years, an  influx of
renewal applications is expected, commencing  in mid-1971 and peaking in 1972
 and totalling about 11,000.

                                                                     AC 3-10

-------
     The requested increase will  be used to provide additional  scientific,
technical, and administrative staff to accelerate the review and  processing
of label registration applications, amendments,  renewals,  and tolerance
petitions, and to eliminate the backlog., and reduce the average processing
time for the action from 180 to 45 days.
Compliance and enforcement
1971
$11,666,000
1972
$19,563,000
Increase or
Decrease
$7,897,000
     EPA's compliance and enforcement activities involve (1)  surveillance
and inspection to determine compliance with established environmental
standards, pollution-source standards, permits and product registrations;
(2) the gathering of evidential data in cases where noncompliance is
apparent; and (3) the conduct of actual enforcement proceedings.
Enforcement actions include administrative procedures such as the
revocation of certifications, seizure of products, and actions under  the
"conference" procedure provided for under the existing air and water
pollution legislation, as well as the initiation of court proceedings.
Relative to environmental standards for air and water quality and
performance and hazardous emission standards» the States are  expected
to exercise primary responsibility for compliance and enforcement, but
where this is not achieved, Federal action is possible pursuant to
existing authorities.  Relative to mobile source air emission standards
and pesticide-label registration, compliance and enforcement  are primarily
a Federal responsibility.  In all cases, however, close cooperation and
coordination with State and local efforts are maintained.

     For the air program, an increase of $2,491,000 is requested to enable
the development of procedures and regulations for production-line testing
of motor vehicles to determine their compliance with established emission
standards.  This work is required to enable the initiation of a fully
operational testing program for 1973 model-year vehicles.

     The Clean Air Act, as amended, requires EPA to test prototypes of
new models of motor vehicles to determine their compliance with established
emission standards.  If compliance is found, a certificate of conformity is
issued enabling the manufacturer to sell or import the particular model.
The Clean Air Amendments authorize EPA to test production-line models of
vehicles to assure that manufactured models do, in fact, comply with
emission standards and with the regulations under which certification of
conformity have been issued.  Findings of noncompliance are grounds for
revocation of the certificate of conformity.

     To prepare for full-scale operational production-line testing of
1973 model-year vehicles., two preparatory steps must be taken.  The first
of these will be completed in 1971:  the development of a short-cycle test
appropriate for production-line testing.  During  19729 the second step will
                                                                    AC 3-11

-------
be undertaken:  the full-scale pilot tests  of the  testing  procedures and
the development of regulations to enable initiation  of a production-line
testing program in 1973.   Also, during 1972,  the program of  testing
prototype models and issuing certificates  of  conformity will be
continued.

     The newly authorized enforcement activities of  the air  program--
pertaining to violation of national  ambient air quality standards,
performance standards, hazardous emission standards, aircraft  emission
standards, and fuel additive regulations—will  be organized  and  commenced
during 1972.

     For the water program, an increase of $4,424,000 is requested  (1)  to
complete the investigation and the taking of  necessary abatement actions
against all potential dischargers of mercury, (2)  to initiate  a  similar
effort pertaining to potential dischargers  of heavy  metals,  (3)  to
investigate and take appropriate enforcement  action  in four  shellfish
areas where pollution is  suspected to be having adverse effects, and
(4) to provide needed equipment for a field team assigned  to the conduct
of enforcement investigations.  Their work is essential to the abatement
of critical water pollution problems and to the effective  implementation
of established water quality standards.

     The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended,  authorizes  EPA
to undertake various enforcement actions to secure compliance  with  water
quality standards for interstate water, to abate pollution of  navigable
waters, and to abate pollution of shellfish areas where the marketing  of
shellfish in interstate commerce is adversely affected. Also, in cooperation
with the Coast Guard pursuant to a delegation of the President's authorities,
EPA carries out various activities to enforce regulations  covering  the
control, cleanup, and prevention of oil spills.  Finally,  EPA  participates
in the bringing of enforcement actions under  the Refuse Act of 1899.


     During 1971, work in over 50 active enforcement actions is  under  way.
This includes the monitoring of programs in meeting the abatement
requirements and schedules set forth in these actions and  the  conduct of
field investigations to support current actions.  Also, investigations in
support of potential new actions are being continued.  Particular attention .
is being given to mercury pollution.  All potential  dischargers  of mercury
have been identified and are being investigated on a case-by-case basis.
Where significant discharges of mercury are found, action  is initiated,
including court action where necessary, to secure abatement.

     During 1972, the current enforcement activities will  be continued and
certain of these expanded or intensified.  The investigation of potential
mercury dischargers will  be completed and appropriate abatement action will
be taken.  Additionally, a panel of experts will be formed to  formulate
discharge limits and treatment and control requirements for mercury.   The
investigations of potential dischargers of an additional  three to five
                                                                    AC 3-12

-------
toxic heavy metals will be initiated and followed  with  appropriate
enforcement actions.  The investigation of pollution  effecting  four
Important shellfish growing areas will  be started  and similarly
followed with appropriate abatement actions.   Finally,  the capability  of
one of EPA's field investigation teams  assigned to enforcement  activities
will be improved by the provision of additional mobile-laboratory and
other field equipment.

      For the drinking water certification program, an  increase of $104,000
is requested to increase, from 13 to 18, the annual number of Federal-State
surveys of water supplies in order that deficiencies  or deteriorating
conditions can be identified and early  remedial action  taken.

      The drinking water certification  program classifies  all  670 drinking
water supplies in the United States which serve interstate carriers—planes,
trains, and buses—and certifies them for use by such carriers  when  in
compliance with EPA drinking water standards as they relate to the prevention
of the spread of communicable disease.   This responsibility is  coordinated
with the Food and Drug Administration which is responsible for maintaining
an inventory of water supply points used by interstate  carriers and  for
inspecting such points.

      In 1971, 13 Federal-State surveys will be conducted.  In 1972, it is
proposed to increase this number to 18  and to maintain  this level of effort
in subsequent years so that classification of all  interstate-carrier water
supplies can be completed every three years, rather than every four  years
as is permitted by current resource levels.  The laboratory analytical work
necessary to support these surveys will also be proportionally increased.

      For the pesticide program, an increase of $878,000 is requested to
increase the surveillance of domestic and imported pesticide products.

      EPA's examination and surveillance of domestic and imported pesticides
serves as the basis for compliance actions under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.  Surveillance is carried out by examining
the manufacturers' and distributors' records and checking thousands  of
outlets, as well as by carrying out inspector visits to manufacturer and
distributor locations to determine the disposition of returned products.
When violation of law occurs, compliance can be brought about through
voluntary or mandatory recall and  removal of the product by the manufacturer,
or through seizure of the product  by EPA.  Surveillance and enforcement
responsibilities are supported by  laboratory testing of acquired samples.

      In 1971, surveillance is limited to sampling less than 15 percent of
the estimated 40,000 registered domestic products  and about 10 percent of
the imported products.  The requested  increase will  permit increasing the
surveillance level  for domestic products to 20 percent and for imported
products to 15 percent.

                                   Control Agency Support

          Purpose

f~l             Current Federal legislation clearly sets out the policy that primary
:  I        responsibility for pollution control rests with State and local
          governments and interstate agencies.  This approach carries with it a
          commitment for Federal leadership in the development of effective control
          programs together with the provision of financial assistance to support
          the implementation and operation of State and local programs.  To this
          end, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, authorizes
          matching grants to State and interstate water pollution control agencies.
          The Clean Air Act, as amended, authorizes assistance  under a variety of
          matching formulas to State, regional, and local air pollution control
          agencies to support the cost of planning, developing, improving, and
          maintaining their operations.  The Clean Air Act also authorizes the
          assignment of Federal employees to these control agencies in lieu of
          financial assistance.

               Associated with these grants is the Federal effort involved in their
          administration as well as in the provision of consultive services to the
          various control agencies in the management of these grants.


                                                                         Increase or

Control  agency grants	$40,200,000    $57,900.000     $17,700,000

     EPA currently provides finanical  assistance to State,  regional,  and
local air pollution control agencies and to State and interstate  water
pollution control  agencies.  This support is intended to  assist these
agencies in fulfilling their responsibilities under existing Federal  air
and water pollution control legislation.  Additionally, the matching
features of these grants serve as realistic incentives for  State  and  local
governments to expand their pollution control resources and to increase
their overall commitment to environmental protection programs.   Federal
funds are used by these control agencies to employ technical and
managerial personnel to plan and develop control programs,  for the
procurement of needed laboratory and field  equipment, for the training  of
agency personnel, and for the conduct of monitoring and inspection programs,
as well  as enforcement activities.

     An increase of $12,700,000 for air pollution control agency  grants is
requested to increase (1) the number of control agencies  being supported,
(2) the levels of grant support, and (3) the number of Federal  employees
assigned to grantee agencies.  This increase relates primarily to the
new responsibilities imposed on State, regional, and local  air pollution
control  agencies by the Clean Air Amendments of 1970.  Under these
amendments, each State must undertake a series of resource-demanding  actions
within the period of the next year which include:  designation of the
remaining air quality control regions within its boundaries; expansion  of
its inventory of air quality and source emissions; development of an
effective regulatory program; and development and submittal for EPA approval
of implementation plans for meeting national ambient air quality  standards
for six major pollutants.  These actions and plans must be  adequate to  assure
meeting of primary national ambient air quality standards within  three  years.
To assist the States in meeting the responsibilities, the Clean Air Act
provides for grants, under several matching formulas, to assist in the
planning and development of new air pollution control agencies, the
improvement of existing agencies, and the maintenance of control  agency
operations on a continuing basis.

     During 1971, $30.2 million in grants (see table on page AC 4-6)  will
be made available to match an estimated $43 million in State and local  funds.
These grants are supporting 201 air pollution control agencies, including
47 State agencies, one territorial, and 153  local agencies.  Thirteen of
this total number will receive maintenance grants.  Additionally, 105
temporary Federal employees are assigned to State agencies  to supplement
an estimated 2,900 employees on the rolls of State and local control
agencies.
                                                                    AC 4-3

-------
     In 1972, grant support will be increased to $42.9 million (see
table on page AC 4-6.  This will enable the extension of grant
assistance to six additional agencies—two State, one territorial  and
three local agencies—for a total of 207 agencies.  Additionally,  it
will enable the assignment of an additional 295 Federal employees  to
State agencies to aid them in meeting the immediate and substantial
work load imposed by the Clean Air Amendments of 1970,  These
assignees will supplement an expected increase of 1,000 State and  local
personnel.

     An increase of $5,000,000 is requested for water pollution
control agency grants to increase the level of grant support from
$10 to $15 million (see table on page AC 4-8) pursuant to the
Administration's proposed amendments to Section 7 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act* as amended.  This additional support is needed
to enable the State control agencies to meet the demands imposed by
the Federal program to implement the Corps of Engineers' waste
discharge permit program, for development of metropolitan, regional
and river basin control plans, for accelerated enforcement actions,
and for administration of the expanded Federal construction grants
program.

     The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, authorizes
matching grants to State and interstate water pollution control
agencies to assist them in improving and maintaining their programs
and in meeting their responsibilities under Federal programs.  In
1971, $10 million will be made available to 59 State, territorial,
and interstate agencies to match approximately $32 million in State
funds.  Of the total number of agencies receiving support, 54 are
State or territorial agencies and five are interstate agencies.

     Section 7 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended,
now limits annual appropriations for control agency grants to
$10 million.  This section of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act, as amended, expires in June 1971 and the proposed  legislation for
its extension provides for an increase in authorization to $15 million
in 1972 with increasing increments of $5 million  in each of the
subsequent fiscal years through  1975.  This additional  funding will be
used to support bonus grants to  those5 States which undertake to improve
and expand their programs in certain critical areas of  activity.
                                                                    AC 4-4

     Headquarters  and  regional staffs are maintained to manage the above
 described  grants.  The headquarters component provides policy direction
,and  general management guidance.  The regional components provide the
 technical  management and monitoring of the grant programs.  This includes
 the  review and evalution of  grant applications, the provision of
 preapplication assistance, the monitoring of the grantees' programs, and
 the  maintenance of day-to-day liaison with the grantees to promote effective
 communication with EPA and to assist them in improving and strengthening
 their  program

     An  increase of $30,000  for air pollution control grants administration
 is requested to support the  full-year cost of personnel added in 1971 to
 improve  grants management and handle the increased work load of the
 expanded program.

     An  increase of $215,000 for water pollution control  agency grants
 administration is  requested  to support the additional staff required to
 handle the work load associated with increased funding levels, to further
 improve  existing administrative practices, and to maintain closer liaison
 with grantee agencies.                                         .

                           Technical  Support

Purpose

     The technical support programs encompass field investigations,
special studies, and other technical work necessary to support EPA1s
activities in developing and setting standards, reviewing standards
implementation plans, conducting enforcement actions, effecting river
basin and other planning, and carrying out its  other functions.  These
programs also cover EPA's technical assistance  to State, local, and
other Federal agencies.  Such assistance includes field investigations
and  special studies, many of which are joint endeavors, and technical
consultation to help investigate and develop solutions for complex
pollution problems.

     Additionally, there are two special technical support programs: the
estuarine and oceanographie program and the oil and hazardous materials
program.  The first of these comprises the collection and collation  of
comprehensive data and information about the Nation's estuarine, coastal,
and Great Lakes waters, the dissemination of this information, and the
provision of technical assistance to State, local, and other Federal
agencies engaged in the planning for and management of coastal and
estuarine zones.   The oil and hazardous materials program covers the
field and headquarters technical activities required to implement, in
cooperation with the Coast Guard, the regulatory and related provisions
of Sections 11 and 12 of the Federal  Water Pollution Control Act, as
amended.  The activities carried out under this program include responses
to oil and hazardous spills to assist and oversee control and cleanup
or to undertake Federal control and cleanup action; the development,
revision, and implementation of national and local contingency plans;
and the conduct of activities to prevent oil and hazardous spills,

     EPA provides technical support to its own operating programs  and
technical assistance to other Federal, State, and local  agencies for the
control of air, water, solid waste, radiation, and pesticide pollution.
These activities encompass the development of the technical  bases  for
setting and enforcing standards and implementation plans, for developing
comprehensive environmental protection and pollution control plans,  for
developing and operating surveillance and monitoring systems, for  abating
pollution from Federal facilities and activities, and for the performance
of other pollution abatement and control  activities.  This work principally
involves field investigations and special studies to determine the sources
or causes of pollution and to find the most appropriate abatement  measures.
It also encompasses technical advice and consultation and the provisions
of laboratory services.

     EPA also reviews  worldwide  literature and assembles technical
news and information concerning the scientific and engineering advances
and innovations in the field of environmental protection.  This technical
information is disseminated to government agencies, industry, research
groups, and universities.

     An increase of $3,061,000 for the air program is requested to
provide assistance to the States for development of implementation plans
for national ambient air quality standards, and to review these plans
when submitted for Federal approval.  This technical assistance is
necessary to assure that approvable plans are submitted and competent
review is given within time requirements established by the Clean Air
Amendments of 1970.

     The Clean Air Amendments of 1970 place new and additional burdens
on the States.  The States are required, during calendar year 1971, to
designate remaining air quality control  regions within their boundaries,
expand their inventory of air quality and source emission data, develop
and submit, for EPA approval, regional implementation plans  for the six
pollutants presently covered by national ambient air quality standards,
establish legal authority and regulatory programs,  and develop emergency
plans for meeting air pollution episodes.   The development of implementation
plans will be a critical element;  they   must  provide for obtaining
compliance with primary national ambient air  quality standards within
three years after their approval and, as they pertain to primary  standards,
they must be adopted and submitted by the States within  nine months
after promulgation of the  primary  standards  by EPA  (these plans are
therefore due approximately January 31,  1972).  The  States  will need
considerable technical assistance  during 1971 and  1972  in developing
these plans in order to meet both  the substantive and time  specifications
set forth by the Amendments.  Further, the Amendments require that  EPA

                                                                    AC 5-3

-------
approve the States'  plans. If any of these plans are found Inadequate,  EPA
must develop and adopt Federal plans within six months  after their submittal.
This mandate will require substantial technical support for the  review
of, and related actions on, submitted plans during 1972,

     Thirteen implementation plans submitted under the  provisions
of the 1967 Act for sulfur oxides and particulates are  currently being
reviewed in relation to the proposed national  ambient air quality
standards being established under the 1970 Amendments,  and notification
of required revisions to meet these standards  is being  given to  States.
States are now in the process of formulating the remaining implementation
plans and are being advised about the proposed standards  so as to
enable submittal of adequate plans.  In 1972,  53 implementation  plans
will be submitted for review and approval for the six pollutants covered
by national ambient air quality standards.  The review  of these  plans
will be completed during the year to comply with the time provision
of the Amendments.

     An increase of $951,000 for the water program is requested  (1) to
convene a technical  advisory committee to update EPA's  water quality
criteria guidelines; (2) to further develop waste treatment and  waste
discharge requirement guidelines; (3) to conduct inventory and developmental
studies on feedlot, forestry and logging, irrigation return flow,  and
rural runoff pollution problems; and (4) to expand technical assistance
to local agencies for the detection and removal of potentially toxic
materials in water supplies.

     The National Technical Advisory Committee Report,  Water Quality
Criteria8 was published in 1968 and provided the basis for the
development and establishment of the current Federal-State water quality
standards for interstate waters.  Since that publication, new scientific
knowledge on water quality requirements and tolerances has been  acquired.
Alsos the weaknesses in coverage and comprehensiveness of the Report
have been identified.  For these reasons, it is planned in 1972 to
update and expand the Report  to provide the basis for upgrading presently
established water quality standards where necessary, and to provide the
basis for establishing standards for navigable, contiguous zone, and
ground waters pursuant to the Administration's proposed legislation to
strengthen and extend the Federal standards-setting authority of
Section  10 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.

     Effective implementation of the Corps of  Engineers waste discharge
permit program will require the specification,of waste treatment
requirements and/or effluent  standards as conditions of issued permits.
To enable the specification of such  conditions, work is presently under
way to identify and characterize the best available waste treatment
technology for 22 sectors of  industry.   From this works it is planned
before the end of 1971 to develop preliminary  guidelines on waste
treatment and waste discharge requirements for classes and types of
industrial plants.  These guidelines will enable  initial implementation
                                                                   AC 5-4

-------
of the waste discharge permit program in  1972.   It  is  further  planned
to complete the development of these guidelines  during 1972  to provide
a firm basis for the continued conduct of the permit program.  These
guidelines will also be available and used for the  development and
implementation of effluent standards pursuant to the Administration's
proposed legislation to amend Section 10  of the  Federal  Water
Pollution Control Act, as amended.

     Water pollution arising from animal  feedlot operations, forestry
and logging practices, irrigation return  flows,  and rural  runoff have not
been studied on a systematic, nationwide  basis.   Because these sources
are being found to have a substantial adverse  impact on water  quality—
by virtue of their own growth and as a result of the abatement of
municipal and industrial pollution—it is now necessary to make  a
concerted national effort to minimize these impacts.   Accordingly,  it
is planned in 1972 to initiate a comprehensive  inventory and study  of
these sources, their effects, and possible remedial measures preparatory
to developing a national program for their control.

     The Community Water Supply Study, recently  completed and  published,
identified all-too-widespread deficiencies in  the operation of public
water supplies and specifically identified, among other things,  a high
proportion of public water supplies which exceed recommended limits for
chemical constituents.  To address these  findings in part, EPA provides
technical assistance to local agencies to aid  them in  improving  their
water supply operations.  During 1972, it is planned to continue this
essential work and to expand assistance pertaining to  the detection and
removal of potentially toxic chemical constituents.

     The increase requested for the water hygiene program is to  support
the above described expansion of 1972 activities.  Also planned  in  1972
is a continuation of 1971 activities comprising technical support to EPA's
other programs and technical assistance to State, local, and other
Federal agencies.

     An increase of $290,000 for the solid waste program is requested
to continue to meet the expanding need of State and local governments
for technical assistance and to pursue the objective of closing 5,000
of the Nation's solid waste disposal dumps by the end of 1972.

     Under this program, technical assistance is provided to State
and local agencies to aid them in planning, developing, and improving
solid waste management programs and  in finding solutions to operational
problems.  Assistance is provided in all  aspects of solid waste management:
storages collection, processing, and ultimate disposal.  Technical
information is also assembled, published, and disseminated to public
and private agencies, organizations, and individuals to acquaint them with
new and existing technology and management techniques.
                                                                   AC 5-5

-------
     In 1971, the solid waste program initiated "Mission 5000,"
an effort to close 5,000 of the Nation's clumps during 1971  and 1972.
This project will be continued and intensified in 1972 through technical
assistance, advice,and consultation and the dissemination of information.

     An increase of $94,000 for the radiation program is requested to
provide increased assistance to the States in evaluating the siting
and effects of proposed nuclear power plants, and for other radiological
matters.  This will  be accomplished by establishing one radiation
specialist in each of two additional regional offices:  one in Region II,
New York City, and one in Region IX, San Francisco.

     The technical support programs in the regional offices provide
assistance to the States in developing adequate programs to protect the
public from radiation hazards.  This assistance encompasses the
evaluation of State programs, the training of personnel, the development
of model legislation, the response to contamination incidents and
accidents, the collection and dissemination of data and information,
and the advice and consultation on radiological matters, including proposed
nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear energy.  The regional
programs also carry out EPA's own radiological activities:  the review
of proposed nuclear facilities and operations, the conduct of special
studies, and the response to contamination incidents.

     During 1972, two additional EPA regional offices will be staffed
with radiological specialists.  This will provide eight of EPA's 10
regions with adequate technical support capabilities.  These specialists
will provide a vital linkage between the State programs and the
Federal radiation programs in the two additional regions—Region II,
New York, and Region IX, San Francisco—and they will provide much needed
assistance in evaluating the environmental impact of the increasing number
of nuclear facilities being built or proposed in these regions.

     An increase of $105,000 for the pesticides program is requested
to support four  regional training conferences for State and local
officials and local pest control operators.

     Forty-eight States have enacted some form of legislative control
of pesticides, patterned after the  Uniform State Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide  Act,  EPA provides  technical assistance to these
State  programs through consultation to  improve the States' laboratory
capabilities; technical advice concerning special pesticide problems;
and training conferences to upgrade the competence of State and local
personnel.

     In 1971, about 1,000 persons were  provided training by the EPA
Atlanta laboratory and the State pesticide projects.  More formalized
training  is  planned for 1972 at four  regional  training  conferences which
will be structured to improve knowledge and methods of  enforcing pesticide
standards.
                                                                 AC 5-6

-------
     Fourteen State pesticide projects were in  operation  in  1971  and
will be continued in 1972.  The projects  carry  out State-wide  evaluations
of existing and potential pesticide problems; stimulate and  assist
State and local pesticide activities;  evaluate  State laboratory
competencies; provide advice and informal  training to State  and  local
personnel; and assist in investigations of serious pesticide episodes.

Estuarine and oceanographic
  studies              	    $755,000     $7553000	     ...

     EPA's oceanographic and estuarine program  encompasses  the collection,
assimilatipn, and dissemination of water quality> water use, and associated
data pertaining to the Nation's estuarine and coastal zones  and  the  Great
Lakes.   This information is utilized by EPA and is made  available to State,
local,  and other Federal agencies for coastal zone management  planning,
for assessing the water quality impact of proposed coastal-zone  development
activities, and for other purposes.

     No increase is requested for the estuarine and oceanographic program
in 1972.

     In 1971, a start was made in the collection and assimilation of
Great Lakes data, the incorporation into the system of historical
information available from other sources, and the provision of assistance
to State agencies engaged in coastal zone management planning.  In addition,
an annual report was .initiated summarizing current coastal  zone  pollution
problems, related technological developments,  and control measures.

     In 1972, the data base for the information system will  be expanded,
especially in coverage of the Great Lakes.  Particular attention will
be devoted to consolidation and automation of information on dredging
and filling and to the collection of information on other physical
modifications and salt water intrusions.   Assistance to States for
developing coastal zone management plans will  be greatly expanded and
a small-scale coastal pollution monitoring network will  be initiated,

Oil and hazardous materials	$1,335,000   $2,034,000       $699,000

     The oil and hazardous materials program is carried out by EPA in
cooperation with the Department of Transportation and other Federal
agenciess pursuant to Executive Order 11548.
                                                                  AC 5-7

-------
     An increase of $699,000 is requested for this program to promote
and assist the development and implementation of regional  and local
contingency plans to prevent and clean up accidental  spills and
discharges.

     The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended,  requires that
the Agency establish effective regulations for the control, cleanup, and
prevention of oil and hazardous materials spills, provide  adequate Federal
response to implement cleanup of spills when the responsible party fails
to act, and assist Federal, State, and local agencies in developing
contingency plans, response capabilities, and prevention programs.

     Dumping and accidental spilling of oil and other hazardous materials
continue to increase and constitute major pollution threats to the water
resources of the Nation.  EPA seeks to prevent spills from occurring as
well as to control those that do occur.  During 1971, EPA has promulgated
regulations designating hazardous materials and will  promulgate and
implement regulations on procedures, methods, and requirements for
equipment to prevent, control, and clean up spills.  The National
Contingency Plan has been revised, and regional staffs are being increased
to provide response to pollution spills and to conduct post-spill surveys.

     In 1972, the oil and hazardous materials program will promulgate
and implement regulations for methods and procedures to remove disch*r-
oil and develop methods to clean up hazardous substances.   It will   ^note
and assist the development and implementation of regional  and lr  _(
contingency plans and further develop a program to prevent spills.  EPA's
National Contingency Plan to respond to oil and hazardous materials spills
will be supplemented by 10 regional plans covering the States within the
new regional boundaries.  In addition, each State will be encouraged to
establish State and local plans.

Purpose

     Existing legislation - the Federal Water Pollution  Control  Act,  as
amended; the Clean Air Act, as  amended; the Resource Recovery Act of
1970; and the National Environmental Policy Act  of 1969  -  augmented by
Executive Orders 11507 and 11514,  mandate Federal  agency activity and
leadership in the protection and enhancement of  environmental quality.
Assisting Federal agencies in the prevention, control, and abatement
of pollution resulting from Federal installations  and from federally
supported or federally licensed activities is a  major responsibility
of EPA.

     EPA programs relate to:  assisting Federal  agencies to meet and
comply with applicable established environmental protection standards
or guidelines and developing standards for Federal activities when
necessary; reviewing, for environmental impact,  the statements of Federal
agencies about their proposed activities; establishing administrative
guidelines for contractor certification of compliance with applicable
pollution control standards; and reviewing licenses and  permits  issued
by Federal agencies for construction or operation of facilities  which
may  result in discharge of wastes into navigable waters  of the United
States.

     Executive Order No. 11507 requires that by December 31, 1972, all
installations owned or leased by the Federal Government be in compliance
with or have under way remedial actions to bring them into conformance
with established Federal, State, and local air and water pollution
control standards.  This Executive Order also requires the management
of Federal installations so as to avoid or minimize other environmental
pollution, such as radioactivity, solid wastes, discharge of wastes
that could pollute ground water, and the handling of other wastes which
could cause environmental pollution.

     EPA provides consultation to Federal agencies in determining their
air, water, solid waste, and noise pollution control needs and technical
assistance in meeting established standards or guidelines and establishing
abatement and control priorities.  EPA also monitors agency performance
and is responsible for the review of the Federal agency compliance plans.
Where no standards exist in a geographic area, EPA may establish air or
water quality standards for this purpose.

     An increase of  $840,000 is requested for the air pollution control
program to support additional positions to expand the scope and
comprehensiveness of the consultative assistance to Federal agencies
and operators of Federal facilities with special air pollution control
problems.  This increase is needed to help assure that the  Federal
agencies will achieve compliance with national ambient air  quality
standards by the end of 1972 pursuant to Executive Order  11507.

     Currently, consultation and technical assistance is  being provided
to Federal agencies  operating some 1,500 facilities with  significant  air
pollution control problems.  Additionally, the annual reports required
of Federal agencies  by  the Office of Management and Budget  on the status
of air pollution control by these agencies are being reviewed by EPA.
These same activities are planned for 1972 but with a higher intensity
of effort.

     An increase of  $417,000 is requested for the water quality control
program,  to continue an expanded 1971 program of consultation and
technical assistance to Federal agencies .to help assure their compliance
with Executive Order 11507.  The increase is to be  used to  support the
additional staff added  in 1971.

     Prior to 1971,  the program emphasized  the review of  Federal  plans
and specifications related to waste treatment.  With  the  issuance of
Executive Order 11507,  emphasis has been  shifted to approval of performance
specifications and follow-up by monitoring of agency  performance.
                                                                    AC 6-3

-------
     Additionally, technical  assistance is  being  provided  to  the  Federal
agencies to aid them in determining pollution control  needs,  establishing
abatement priorities, and designing, operating, and maintaining facilities
to meet established standards and deadlines.   Finally,  the abatement  plans
of the agencies are being reviewed and recommendations  on  funding
priorities are being provided to the Office of Management  and Budget.
'    .
     In addition to covering the waste treatment  practices of the
Federal agencies, EPA reviews other activities of Federal  agencies  having
potential for water pollution.  During 1971,  the  regulations, procedures,
and practices  of  Federal agencies  involved in such diverse activities as
management of Federal lands and forests» development of oil shale
resources, development of peaceful uses of atomic energy,  use of
pesticides, dredging, and construction are being  reviewed  and changes
are being recommended where necessary for protection or enhancement of
water quality.  The increase requested is to continue these and  the
foregoing activities in 1972 at the expanded level  being achieved in
1971.

     An increase of $304,000 is requested for the solid waste management
program to support the operations initiated in 1971 pursuant to  new
authority provided by the Resource Recovery Act of 1970,  This act
requires Federal agencies to comply with applicable Federal guidelines
for solid waste management at their installations.   These  guidelines
are being developed under another new authority provided by the  Act.
The increase will support the new personnel added in 1971  to implement
this new authority.

     A program to implement improvement of solid waste management
practices at Federal facilities is being initiated during the latter
half of 1971.  Activities will include developing an inventory of all
solid waste management practices at Federal facilities; a  more detailed
survey of selected problem installations; and technical assistance to
improve these solid waste management practices.  At all times, there
will be close coordination between the solid waste guidelines effort
and the program for implementation of improved solid waste management
practices by Federal agencies.

     The levels of effort to be conducted during 1971 and  1972 will be
about equal.  There will be, however, a shift in emphasis from the
inventory and survey of facilities to technical assistance.  Late in
1972, monitoring  of performance will be added.  The increase requested
is to carry out these activities  in 1972.

     An increase  of $25,000  is requested for  the noise abatement program
to implement the  program pertaining to Federal agency facilities
initiated in 1971.  The program provides leadership in interagency
cooperation to control noise pollution from Federal activities and
installations, in accordance with  the Noise Pollution and Abatement
Act of 1970.
                                                                   AC 6-4

-------
     In 1971, initial consultation will  be started with  those  Federal
agencies carrying out or sponsoring activities  resulting in  noise
causing public nuisance.  In 1972, an action  program will  be initiated
to assist Federal agencies in the prevention, control,  and abatement of
noise pollution from their proposed and  existing facilities; to  encourage,
through interagency liaison, the incorporation  of noise  pollution
control requirements in all their activities; and to advise  them on
the adequacy and effectiveness of noise  pollution control  measures
and technology.  The increase is requested so that implementation
of these noise abatement activities may  be undertaken.

Environmental impact statements   $636,000    $1.337,000       $701,000

     Passage of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969  and
issuance of implementing Executive Order 11514 on March  5, 1970,
established a new requirement on all Federal  agencies for a comprehensive
and objective evaluation of the environmental impact of proposed actions
and projects in their planning activities and decision-making  processes.
In satisfying its responsibilities with  regard to environmental
considerations, EPA reviews environmental impact statements  of other
Federal agencies—both formally and informally--to assist in identifying
potential impacts, adverse reactions, alternatives, and critical
interrelationships in the areas of air and water pollution and solid
waste management, and the assessment of radiation technology for its
impact on the environment and human health.  Recommendations resulting
from these reviews are reported to the Council  on Environmental  Quality.

     An increase of $701,000 is requested to carry out the review  of
the significant increase of impact statements expected in 1972.  As
the Federal agencies begin to take full  cognizance of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, their response is reflected in both
the numbers of the statements being prepared and the comprehensiveness—
and consequently, the complexity—of the coverage of environmental  issues.
The increase is needed to handle the greater work load and to improve
the quality of review to obtain maximum effectiveness of this mechanism
for protecting against new impairments to the Nation's environment.

     Of this increase, $335,000 is designated for the air program to
handle those statements having air quality considerations.  Similarly,
$100,000 is designated for the water program; $27,000 for the solid
waste program; $204,000 for the radiation program; and $35,000 for the
noise program.  These increases are for the full-year support of staff
added in 1971 and for the addition of staff  in  1972.

     It is estimated that 50 statements with air quality considerations,
250 with water quality considerations, 20 with  solid waste  considerations,
and 25 with radiation considerations will be reviewed in 1971.  It is
                                                                   AC 6-5

-------
expected that 1972 will  bring an increase ranging from two-  to  five-fold
in the number of statements received for review and  will  be  further
increased by statements  containing noise considerations.

Federal procurement procedures
and certification of Federal
licenses and permits	$365.000    $554.000	$189,000

     EPA responsibilities for the prevention,  control, and abatement  of
pollution from federally supported or licensed activities were  greatly
expanded by recent legislation:  the procurement provisions  of the Clean
Air Amendments of 1970,  and review of permits  and licenses requirements
of the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970.

     Under the Federal  procurement provisions  of the Clean Air Amendments
of 1970, EPA must develop procedures to ensure that all contractors for
Federal agencies are in compliance with applicable pollution control
standards.  The Act includes provision for assessment of penalties for
failure to comply with standards.  Under the Water Quality Improvement
Act of 1970, EPA is responsible for the review of applications for Federal
permits and licenses to assess the water quality impact of the facility
or activity for which the license or permit is being sought.

     An increase of $85,000 for the Federal procurement program is
required to continue the program initiated during 1971.

     Currently, during 1971, procedures establishing administrative
guidelines for contractor certification of compliance with applicable
air pollution control standards are being developed.  The initial effort
is being directed at construction contracts, which number several
thousand annually.  During  1972, implementation of these procedures
will begin in earnest and necessary liaison with State and Federal
agencies for rendering technical assistance and staying abreast of
problems arising from enforcement of the procedures will be put in
full force.

     An increase of $104,000 is requested for the water quality program
for certification of licenses  and permits.  This will  be used to
continue the expanded program  begun in  1971.

     Approximately 6,400 applications are being reviewed in 1971 —
primarily for the Corps of  Engineers, Atomic Energy Commission, and
Federal Power Commission construction projects, but also for Coast
Guard, Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service, and  other agency
projects.  Of these applications, approximately one-third require
specific comments and suggestions for better environmental control.
                                                                   AC 6-6

-------
Numerous on-site Inspections of major construction projects  are  required
to evaluate adherence to permit or license conditions  and  to provide
on-site technical assistance.  In cases where public hearings  are
required in conjunction with permit or license applications, regional
staff participate and testify as to water quality standards  compliance.
A similar work load is anticipated for 1972.   The increase is  requested
to support the staff authorized in 1971 to carry out this  1972 work load.
                                                                    AC 6-7

Purpose

     To provide effective management and monitoring of the Fcdaral  grants
awarded to municipal  agencies for the construction of waste treatment
works, construction grants administration staffs  are maintained at  EPA's
headquarters and regional offices.  These staffs  handle the review  and
processing of grant and contract payments,  the review of grant applications
and construction plans and specifications,  the authorizing of bid
advertising, the review of bids and contract awards, periodic inspections,
and the collateral  responsibilities dealing with  prevailing wage, anti-
kickback, contract work-hours standards,and civil  rights requirements.
These staffs also certify the adequacy of projects for eligibility  for
sewer loans and grants awarded by the Economic Development Administration
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

     In addition to grant processing, this  Agency has increased its
efforts to assure that treatment facilities constructed with Federal
assistance are properly located and planned, are  well designed according
to the bestavailable technology, are adequately operated and maintained,
and are actually or potentially part of a viable,  financially self-
supporting operating system.

Construction grants administration    $6,109.000   $8,697,000     $2,588,000

     An increase of $2,588,000 is requested to adequately administer a
proposed expanded construction grants program. Construction  grants
administration costs in 1971 were based upon an authorized spending
level of $1 billion.  The increase is predicated  upon a construction
grants level of $2 billion under a proposed bill  to extend and amend
Section 8 of the Federal Water Pollution Control  Act, as amended.
Work load statistics associated with this increased program activity
are given on page AC 7-4.

     In 1971, regulations were published in the Federal Register providing
the basis for greater emphasis on certain important phases of grants
administration.  The regulations require adequate planning and design,
provision for adequate operation and maintenance, and an equitable cost
recovery system as a precondition to grant award.  The Agency also
supplemented the regulations with "Federal Guidelines for the Design,
Operation,and Maintenance of Waste Water Treatment Facilities."  These
Guidelines  provide the basis requirements for the design, inspection,
and operation and maintenance of federally assisted projects.

     To employ increased municipal waste treatment grants  most effectively,
emphasis must be placed on optimum waste treatment works design and
incorporation into each project of measures for efficient operation and
maintenance.  Therefore, the "Federal Guidelines" will be supplemented in
1972 with Technical Bulletins to provide more detailed guidance in
specific areas.  The topics to be covered will include plant staffing
requirements, new advances in technology, and ways to overcome
deficiencies in present design practices.  In addition to these Technical
Bulletins,  emphasis will be placed on carrying on a newly initiated
Technology  Transfer Program.  The objective of this program  is to ensure
that the technology being developed  in the Agency's research, development,
and demonstration programs  is translated as rapidly as possible into
actual use.  In its work with applicants, the Agency will make every
effort to encourage the use of new techniques and, simultaneously, will
identify new research needs for the  research  and development program.
This will  require an expanded effort in evaluating present design criteria
and practices and keeping abreast of new developments  and trends.

Finally, 1972 operation and maintenance data  will be analyzed and made
available to communities, consulting engineers,  and  industrial firms  for
use  in improving the design of plant equipment and in  modifying  operating
practices so that sewage treatment facilities can be operated as  close  to
maximum efficiency  as possible.   In-house expertise  in solving operation
and maintenance problems will be  increased  and will  be made  available to
assist local and State  personnel  with exceptionally  difficult cases.
                                                                     AC  7-3

                         Manpower Development
Purpose
     The skills and abilities of professional, technical,  and operator
personnel represent an essential resource in this Nation's effort to
restore and protect the environment.   Presently,  the qualified manpower
pool in the field of environmental  protection is  insufficient to meet
the expanding demand in both the private and public sectors.   Additionally,
many of those presently employed in the field are undertrained; have
skills too narrowly focused; or possess educational and experience
references that are dated in terms  of current technological development.

     The purpose of EPA's manpower development programs is to help meet
the foregoing needs through the support and conduct of training and manpower
activities to expand the number and improve the abilities  of personnel
in the environmental protection field.  The training programs are directed
toward meeting needs at all levels:  Federal, State, local, and private.
The training encompasses the various  facets of environmental  work dealing
with air, water, solid wastes, and radiation, and ranges from support
of individuals engaged in graduate studies to short-term technical
courses provided on a regional or community basis.  Manpower planning
activities are being undertaken to develop estimates of manpower demand
and supply, and to provide projections of future manpower and training
needs.

    Presently, the Nation does not have enough oersonnel  sufficiently
skilled and trained in the operations, techniques,  and analyses necessary
for carrying out present and projected environmental  protection programs
at all levels of government.  With the accelerating emphasis on projects,
facilities, and studies for abating, controlling, and preventing
environmental pollution, the present shortage of trained  personnel
becomes a limiting factor.  This shortage might well  preclude environmental
initiatives, inhibit the realization of the full potential  of treatment
and control facilities, and blunt the thrust of progress  that is now
under way.  In response to the present manpower needs, and  as ah initiative
in preparing for future requirements, EPA is undertaking  the development
of a multifaceted training program in the fields of water quality,  air
pollution control, solid wastes, and radiation.

    The program focus is in two major areas at present:  first,
university and individual student support, mainly at graduate levels,
leading to processional careers in the environmental  fields; and second,
assistance to States and technical institutions to establish training
programs for operators and technical personnel.

    An urgent environmental manpower need is for waste water treatment
plant operators and technicians.  An estimated 7,500 presently employed
but underskilled plant operators must be retrained each year for the  next
several years to improve the operation and efficiency of  existing treatment
facilities.  Expansion of the municipal waste treatment facilities
construction grants program to $1 billion in 1971 and, as proposed, to
$2 billion in annual funding in 1972, 1973, and 1974, requires a
complementing increase in the training of plant operators to ensure
maximum return from the investment in facilities.  As.many  as 25S000  new
plant operators will be needed during the first half of this decade
to operate the new and expanded facilities built under this program.

    To promote an adequate  level of facility operation, a number of
States at present require local governments to employ properly
certified operators.  EPA's goal is to achieve mandatory certification
in each State, which will necessitate complementary training programs
in each State to instruct candidate operators and to increase the
skills of undertrained operators.
                                                                MD - 3

-------
     An increase of $155,000 is requested for further development of
waste water treatment plant operator training.   This increase will  allow
for continuing, on a full-year basis, the effort-level  reached in 1971,
and for expanding three new programs begun in 1971.   These programs
are:  (1) a pilot State-training grants program for water pollution
control operator training; (2) an intensive technical training program
for supervisory treatment plant and public works department personnel;
and (3) an instructor training program to support the training of
operators and supervisors.

     EPA at present manages a contract, under the Manpower Development
and Training Act, which annually provides training for about 300 entry
level waste treatment plant operators drawn from the unemployed and
about 700 operators drawn from the underemployed blue-collar workers
currently employed in waste treatment plants.  Twenty of the State
water pollution control agencies, plus those of Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, and the District of Columbia, manage similar contracts to provide
training for an additional 2,500 each year.  The three new programs will
supplement  this work which will continue.  First, pilot grants for State
training programs will be awarded in 20 States to design and initiate
State directed training activities and to commence development of
self-supportive State training capabilities.  These will result in the
training of 700 persons.  Second, a new program will be conducted under
contract at one or two advanced waste treatment plants.  Supervisory
treatment plant and public works department personnel, mostly professional
engineers from middl.e-and large-si zed plants across the country 9 will
be given intensive technical training in the operation of advanced
waste treatment processes.  The program will train approximately
100 individuals.  Third, an instructor training program will be carried
out to support the pilot State programs and the intensive technical
training efforts.  The courses will be conducted at two or three
locations to train approximately 50 personnel, mostly former treatment
plant operators who can provide the insight of practical experience.

     No  increase is requested for the graduate professional training
program  for water quality which will continue at the current level.
Professional training grants are awarded to educational institutions
for the  establishment, expansion, and continuation of graduate training
programs.  EPA will encourage the institutions not only to develop
specialized water pollution control courses within multidisciplinary
curricula as before, but  to consider total environment needs which may
cross and combine a number of traditional  disciplines.  During 1972,
88  training grants to academic institutions will be supported and
these will provide traineeships for about  930 students.  In addition,
100 pre- and post-doctorate students engaged in selected research
projects are being assisted with research  fellowships.

     No  increase is requested for the  undergraduate  training program
for water pollution control.  The objective of this  program  is the
two-year technical school training  of qualified high school  students
as  "professional" waste treatment plant  operators.   The 1972 funds.
                                                                 MD  -  4

-------
continuing at the 1971  level, are for the development of a  curriculum
which will provide the training and instruction of the highly skilled
individuals needed in today's increasingly sophisticated waste treatment
plant and its associated laboratories.

     No increase is requested for the 1972 air pollution control
training effort.  Grants will be awarded to 57 academic institutions
in 1972 and these will  support traineeships for about 935 graduate
students.  In addition, research fellowships for 15 students will  be
supported in 1972.

     No increase is requested for the solid waste training  program of
university training grants and State training grants.  Support of
13 grants to universities for the training of graduate students will
be maintained and grants to six States for the training of  operator
and supervisory personnel for local solid waste systems will be
provided.

     No increase is requested for the radiation training grants program
in 1972.  It will continue to support training of radiation specialists
and technicians, enabling agencies responsible for environmental
protection to perform a wide range of radiation studies and monitoring.
Funds are used to strengthen and extend programs of basic instruction
at selected colleges and universities and to encourage greater
enrollment by qualified students in the field of environmental
radiation.  In 1971, 16 grants to colleges and universities throughout
the United States were funded.  A similar number is planned for 1972.

     The separate professional training grant programs for water, air
solid wastes, and radiation described above were inherited from the
several agencies combined to form EPA.  These programs will be carefully
studied during the remainder of 1971 and 1972 to identify where and how
they might best be integrated into and managed as a multipurpose
environmental training program.

 Direct  training and
  manpower  planning   	$5,481,000     $5,758,000        $277.000
     The  direct  training programs sponsored by EPAS principally conducted
 at  EPA  facilities by  EPA training personnel, focus on providing short-
 course  instruction  for  personnel employed  in environmental-related
 occupations.  The courses given provide either overview summaries of
 the concepts, science,  and  techniques for  abating and preventing
                                                                  MD

pollution, or detailed reviews of new technological  developments,
operational methods, and research findings.   These  courses  are
offered to Federal, State,  locals and private personnel who are
either just beginning their environmental  careers or who  need to
broaden or improve their skills in particular aspects of  environmental
protection.

     The manpower planning  activities are directed  toward developing
inventories of existing manpower and training needs  in environmental
disciplines and occupations and forecasting  future  needs.  The results
of this work are used to plan and design training and recruitment
programs and are disseminated to State and local agencies for the
same purpose.

     At present, a major problem in fully achieving the designed
efficiency and effectiveness of existing pollution  control  facilities
is that many of the operating personnel are  underskilled  and undertrained.
Many of the short courses and seminars conducted under the direct
training programs concentrate on upgrading the skill level  of these
present employees, thus improving the operation of  present abatement
systems.

     A decrease of $248,000 from the 1971 level is  planned in  1972
for air pollution control short-course training.  This decrease  reflects
reduced costs for equipment purchases and course development;  it will
not result in a decrease in the level of training.   Approximately
2,400 individuals are receiving technical training  in 1971, and  this
number is expected to increase to 3,000 in 1972.  EPA is  also promoting
the development of university consortia—a grouping of academic
institutions in the same geographic area—to stimulate and sponsor
joint training programs in air pollution control.   Two consortia on
air pollution have been established; one in the Research Triangle
area of Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and the other in New England.
In 1972, four additional consortia will be formed.

     An increase of $154,000  is requested in 1972 for water pollution
control short-course training.  The funding will be used to develop
self-sufficient training centers, to form mobile training teams, and
to initiate a correspondence  training program.

     In 1971, 35 seminars, workshops, or short courses were scheduled
with an expected total  enrollment of 1,625 students.  In 1972,
42 seminars, workshops, or short courses are planned for approximately
the same size enrollment.  In additions the training staffs are preparing
training materials to be furnished to State and local agencies  in support
of their training  programs.

     The increase  in 1972 funding will  provide for  the expansion of the
direct training program in three specific areas.  First, learner-
centered instruction will be  undertaken.  Training  facilities will
contain 20 to 30 individual booths,  each with  its own audio-visual
                                                                    - 6

equipment, and manuals, workbooks, programmed teaching slidetapes,
and filmstrips.  Second, mobile training teams will  be formed to  provide
certain courses wherever needed in the United States.   Third, a
correspondence training program will  be initiated.   The development
of material for this program will  complement the materials for learner-
centered training  and will  provide a wide variety  of  subject matter
for individual study.

     An increase of $190,000 is requested for water supply personnel
training.  Government personnel having responsibilities for the
construction, operation, and surveillance of water  supply facilities
will continue to receive short-course instruction in minimizing and
controlling pollution of water sources.  In 1971, 12 short-term
courses were developed and are being presented to 240  individuals.
In 1972, additional training courses in water treatment technology,
ground water development, and surveillance will be  developed and
presented to an estimated 400 individuals.  Film and instruction
packages for two courses will allow their presentation by State
water supply agencies without the need for direct Federal
participation.

     An increase of $105,000 is requested for short-course training
in solid waste management which will be applied to improve the skills
of professional and technical government employees  in this field.
This will continue the level of effort achieved by the end of 1971.
Short-term courses include such topics as Elements  of Solid Waste
Management, Sanitary Landfill Principles, and Principles of Incineration.
During 1971, a total of 26 course presentations will be made.  This
number will increase to 30 in 1972 and the number of topics covered
will also increase through the addition of about four new courses on
such candidate topics as Production, Analysis and Control of Sanitary
Landfill Leachate and Gas and Passivation of Toxic Wastes,  Funding
will also be utilized for course development in the areas of operator
and supervisory-level training.  Sanitary landfill  and incineration
will receive initial emphasis.  After field testing, the training
packages will  be used by the State training programs with financial
support from Federal resources.

     An increase of $79000 is requested for radiological short-course
training.  This will enable improvement of ongoing short™term training
for scientists, engineers, and other professional personnel in fields
concerned with environmental radiation protection.   This training is
accomplished both at headquarters and  in the field through short
courses such as Basic Radiological Health, Environmental Microscopy,
and Radiation  Protection Guides and Dose Assessment.  The objectives
of these courses are to provide specialist personnel with the most
current knowledge in the control and prevention of radiological
pollution.  In 1971, to facilitate a national  enrollment*  a scheduled
program of courses was conducted alternately at three field laboratories
as well as at  headquarters.  In 1972,  training activities are planned
to continue at the same level, although course modification may be
undertaken,


                                                                 MD - 7

-------
     The objectives of the manpower planning  programs  are  to  develop
the criteria, guidelines, and procedures  for  conducting  comprehensive
manpower planning programs; to assist the States,  local  governments,
industry, and others involved in water pollution control in making
employment forecasts; and to undertake a  national  manpower planning
program drawing on the information supplied by the various employing
groups.  The occupational skills and manpower required to  meet  the
existing and predicted demand will be analyzed.   The manpower planning
program in 1971 and 1972 is concentrated  in the areas  of water  quality
and solid wastes.

     An increase of $509,000 is requested for water pollution control
manpower planning.  This will be used to  develop regional  planning
capability, manpower planning criteria, and the elements of an
operator certification program.  The increase in 1972  funding will
provide for the establishment of manpower planning capability in each
of the EPA regions.  It is essential that specialized  personnel be
available to provide assistance to State  and  local water pollution
control agencies, equipment manufacturers, and others  in the  description,
forecasting, and planning of manpower needs.   Funding  is also required
for contracts to develop manpower planning criteria and to conduct
special studies.  The studies will facilitate the full implementation
of a comprehensive nationwide manpower planning and certification
system to cover operating personnel for municipal waste water treatment
plants and will start development of manpower planning criteria
covering other elements of the water pollution control field.  The
1972 funding will continue support of development and  refinement
of manpower planning criteria, guidelines, and procedures.

     In 1971, an  effort was  initiated to  develop  an Operational Manpower
Planning System methods manual for water quality manpower  projection
and planning to provide guidance to various concerned  levels  of
government.  Concurrently, EPA is developing and reporting supply/
demand projections and information based  upon the best available data.
These will be used in preparation of a manpower report to the Congress
as required by  the Water Qaulity  Improvement Act  of 1970.   Also in 1971,
the development of manpower  planning criteria to cover waste water
collection and treatment facilities is being initiated and a  continuing
system for timely generation of manpower  information and  consideration
of manpower factors  in system  design and  demonstration is  being
implemented.  Special studies  to resolve  problems and improve practices
related to certification and utilization  of waste water treatment plant
operators will  utilize the results of these efforts as they become
available.  Further  in 1972, the development of guidelines for a
certification program for waste treatment,plant operators will  be
undertaken, and assistance will be provided to State and  other
agencies in carrying out manpower  inventory, forecasting, and planning.
                                                                 MD  -  8

-------
     A decrease of $440S000 in 1972 funding is planned for solid
waste manpower planning.   This decrease will  result from completion
of a major portion of the manpower study being conducted in 1971 to
meet the requirement of the Resource Recovery Act of 1970 for a
report to the Congress.  This study will be completed in 1972.  It
will assess the skill, requirements, and manpower needed to meet
solid waste personnel needs and will analyze methods for eliminating
gaps between demand and supply where they now exist or may develop.

                      Pollution Sources and Effects

Purpose

     EPA's pollution sources and effects activities  are concerned with
determining the effects of pollution on man, animals, plants,  materials,
and the general environment; investigating natural phenomena associated
with the pollution of air, water, and land; and the  development of new
and improved monitoring and analytical methods and equipment for
measuring environmental quality and waste discharges.  Information
derived from these activities provides the scientific basis  for the
development of water quality standards, drinking water standards, ambient
air quality standards, radiation protection standards, and other criteria
or guidelines for environmental protection.  The development of new
improved monitoring analytical methods and equipment serves  EPA's
monitoring, surveillance, and enforcement activities, as  well  as State
and local agencies.

     The studies are carried out through in-house operations, contracts,
and research grants to nonprofit and academic institutions.   These studies
are coordinated with other Federal agencies and organizations.  For
analytical development, EPA has a principal role in standardizing and
upgrading the methods used by all agencies and organizations concerned
with pollution measurement.

  ;             An increase of $2,389,000 for the  water  program  is  requested  (1) to
    "l     continue and expand water quality requirements  research  to  provide the
          scientific basis for the establishment  and  upgrading  of  water  quality
,r---|        standards, (2) to continue and expand water hygiene research to  improve
          the scientific basis for upgrading and  monitoring  drinking  water
  '        standards, and (3) to continue and expand research on water quality
          control technology to provide methods to arrest eutrophication and
f"~j        restore the quality of polluted lakes,  to develop  methods  for  handling
[  1        wastes in cold climates, and to acquire greater knowledge  about  the
          movement and fate of pollutants.in the  environment.   This  work is
*-'"}        designed to address current operational needs identified by the  water
          quality standards, enforcement, technical  assistance, planning,  and
          other programs of EPA and the State agencies.

               The current water quality requirements research  effort comprises
          a number of important in-house, grant,  and  contract studies directed
          toward determining the effects of a wide variety of pollutants on
          aquatic life and on municipal, industrial,  agricultural, recreational,
          and other water uses.  Major aspects of this  effort  include investigations
          of the toxicity of mercury, cadmium, lead,  and other  heavy metals;
          studies of the temperature tolerances of different species of  fish
          and other aquatic life; investigations  of the toxicity of  organic
          chemicals and the study of the environmental  impact  of various other
          pollutants.  During 1972, it is planned to continue  the  ongoing  work but
          intensify the research on heavy metals, temperature,  and organic chemicals.
          The environmental effects of these pollutants are  far from completely  known  and
          are essential to the continuing effort  to revise and  improve water quality
          standards.
  \             The water hygiene research activity encompasses  studies of  the
          health effects of pollutants found in drinking waters and  the  development
          of methods for monitoring the quality of drinking  waters.   Under the
          current program,  emphasis is being given to the study of viruses, organic
          and toxic trace metals, and the development and testing of methods for
          measuring these contaminants in drinking water supplies.  In  1972, it
          is planned to continue and expand these studies, giving particular
          attention to the  development of rapid methods for the identification
          and detection of  organic contaminants and to the study of the  long-range
          toxicity of trace concentration of organic and inorganic constituents.

               The water quality control technology research effort  covers a wide
          array  of studies  dealing with those means, other.than conventional and
          advanced waste treatment, for controlling and managing water quality.
          Current activities  include the study and development of methods5such
          as algae harvesting, to control the eutrophication of and restore the
  ]       quality of lakes; the  development of methods to control thermal  pollution
  1       and to make beneficial uses  of waste heat; the development of cold
          climate waste treatment methods; and the development of information
  I       systems and management techniques to facilitate  river  basin water
  i       quality management.  Additional activities include the development
          of monitoring and analytical methods and the study of the fate  and
                                                                              ROD 1-5

movement of pollutants in the environment.   In  1972,  it  is  planned
to continue these activities and to expand  the  lake eutrophication-
restoration, cold climate treatment technology, and fate-of-pollution
efforts.  The increase in the first of these efforts  will be  in
response to the growing and critical  problems of water quality
degradation in lakes throughout the Nation  and  the slow  but significant
destruction of these valuable resources, particularly for recreation
and water supply.  The expanded cold climate effort will  be addressed
to completing the demonstration of and preparing the  mandated report  to
the Congress on sanitary waste handling facilities for Alaskan
villages.  The pollution fate studies will  be directed to the assessment
and control of the complex problems involving mercury, other  heavy
metals, and organic chemicals.

     An increase of $1,550,000 for the ocean disposal program is
requested to conduct investigations of the  effects of wastes  dumped
or discharged into the oceans.  This increase is needed  to  effectively
implement the Ocean Dumping Policy issued by the Council  on Environmental
Quality in October 1970.  This policy calls for the early cessation  of
present marine waste disposal practices and the prevention  of new
practices where these practices have or potentially would have any  adverse
effect on the marine environment.  This increase will also  support
implementation of the Administration's legislative proposal for a
regulatory program to control ocean dumping.

     Much more needs to be learned about the movement, fate,  and effects
of the wide variety of wastes—dredging materials, sewage sludges,
industrial wastes, demolition materials, and others—dumped into
estuarine and ocean waters.  To make determinations on the rapidity with
which present practices should be phased out and on the  acceptability of
the increasing number of proposals for marine waste dumping,  it will  be
necessary to conduct various oceanographic, water quality,  and
biological studies.  EPA is doing no significant amount  of work in  these
areas at present.  Therefore, it is planned to initiate  such work in 1972
to address the needs here described.  Much of the work will be carried
out off New York Harbor and in other areas along the East Coast where a
great many present and potential ocean dumping problems  await solution and
correction.

     An increase of $2,815,000 for the pesticide program is requested
to assess the long-term hazards of pesticides  in the environment and to
carry out an expanded program of studies necessary to support and
substantially strengthen the pesticide label registration and tolerance-
setting activities.

     EPA's pesticide effects research program  comprises studies on the
effects of pesticides on man, plants, animals, and the general environment.
The results  of  these studies provide the scientific  basis for setting
safe tolerance levels and  for determining pesticide  use policy.  The
program also includes specific studies to verify the  toxicity of new
pesticide products and provide the bases for reviewing and approving or
disapproving applications  for pesticide label  registrations.

                                                                    ROD 1-6

-------
  '  %,           In  1971,  the  program of work includes investigations on the
           physiological  effects  and metabolism of pesticides, the measurement
           of  pesticide  residues  in humans and various animals.and plants, and
  !         special  analyses and studies to support court actions.  For 1972,
  5         studies  on  the toxicity and other effects of pesticides will be expanded;
           A large  portion of the increased resources will support activities to
f~j         be  carried  out at  the  National Center  for lexicological Research currently
•  ]         being jointly established by the Food  and Drug Administration and EPA
           at  the Pine Bluff  Arsenal facilities in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.  The work
f.^         to  be carried out  at the Center will encompass the development of tests
           to  be performed by the pesticide industry in evaluating its products,
           basic toxicological research,  ecological research on the fate and effects
           of  pesticides, and comparative epidemiological research to  relate the
  ;         effects  of  pesticides  on test  animals  to the effects on man.  Additionally,
	i         in  order to support and strengthen the pesticide label-registration
           program, studies will  be carried out on improved methods of testing the
'i         effects  of  pesticides  and residues on  food, feed, crops, soil, water,
  I         and air.

..^              An  increase of $525,000 for the radiation program  is  requested for
  I         expanding existing studies on  the health effects of radiation to enable
  !         the development of improved radiation  protection guidelines.  This work
           is  essential  if continued protection from the  increasing use of nuclear
  '\         energy is to  be achieved.

                The program encompasses experimental exposure  studies  and
           epidemiological studies and the development of techniques  and devices
           for measuring and  minimizing exposure  to  radiation.   In 1971, studies
*  ;         are under way to determine the effects of exposure  to  Iodine-131 from
           fall-out and  therapeutic doses, to  radon, and  to Cesiunr-137 in milk.
  ;         Also under  way are fundamental research studies  on  the adverse  effects
           of  radiation  on cells  and  investigations on the environmental pathways
           by  which strontium and tritium--two  hazardous  radionuclides emitted  by
           nuclear  reactors and  nuclear fuel  reprocessing  plants--may reach man.
           In  1972, these research efforts will be continued and  expanded.

                An  increase of $880,000 for the noise  program  is  requested  to
           support  the studies necessary  to prepare,  by  January  1972, the  report
           to  the President and  to the Congress1called  for by  the Noise Pollution
           and Abatement Act  of  1970.

                The 1970 Act  requires  that  EPA prepare  a report  on the effects  of
           noise from  such sources  as mass  transportation,  construction projects,
  }        congestion, and manufacturing  activities.   The report will  be used  to
  I        identify and  classify the  causes and sources  of noise, determine  effects,
           and make recommendations  for  necessary additional  legislation or other
  i        action.   Currently, a professional  staff  is  being  recruited for planning
  !        and implementing the  program of  studies  necessary  to  complete this  report.
           Before the  end of  1971,  a  literature  search  will  be initiated to
           determine the state-of-the-art of  noise  control  technology and  to
           discover, assemble, and  organize all  existing information  on the adverse
           effects  of noise.

                                                                               ROD 1-7

-------
     In 1972, the state-of-the-art study on noise will  be continued
and completed and the required report to the Congress will  be  prepared.
Additionally, on the basis of the knowledge gaps identified in the
state-of-the-art study, necessary research studies will  be initiated on
the psychological and physiological effects of noise on  humans and
wildlife, and assessments will be made concerning projected noise level
trends.

     An increase of $1,000,000 for the toxic substances  program is
requested to initiate a series of studies to identify and measure the
most common toxic substances found in the environment and the  pathways
these follow in reaching and affecting man, in order to assess their
total environmental impact and to develop a strategy for their control.

     The toxic substances program is concerned with man's total
exposure to the some 9,000 different chemical compounds which are being
produced in this country and  the estimated  300  new chemicals  brought into
commercial production each year.  Up to now, efforts to ascertain the
the extent and effects of total exposure have been fragmented and less
than comprehensive.  Currently, a staff of experts is being organized
to give special attention to developing an EPA program for dealing with
toxic substances.   In 1972, this staff will develop and begin to
implement, primarily through contracts, an  integrated program for
collecting information on chemical agents,  identifying the most toxic
chemicals now in use, conducting studies on the pathways by which these
agents exert their  adverse effect on man and his environment, and
developing testing  procedures by which it is possible to ascertain
whether a given chemical has adequate margins of safety to be used
extensively.  These efforts are designed to provide the basis for mounting
a much stronger attack on the control of toxic  materials  under existing
statutory  authorities.   They  will  also  better  prepare EPA  for implementing the
Administration's proposed  legislation, the  Toxic  Substances Control  Act of 1971

     An increase of $4,000 is requested for solid waste management to
allow continuation  of the same  level of effort  in 1972 as  in  1971.
Studies are being performed on  the characteristics of solid waste, the
effluents from processing and disposal, and the effects of these effluents
on the air as well  as surface and ground water.

                      Pollution Control Technology
Purpose
     EPA's pollution control technology programs  encompass  research,
development, and demonstration of new and improved technology and the
study of economic incentives and other mechanisms for preventing  and
abating air, water, and solid waste pollution.   The objective of  this
work is to assure the development and availability of fully adequate
and feasible technology for achieving compliance with established air
and water quality standards, air emission standards, solid  waste
management guidelines, waste water discharge permits, and other Federal,
State, and local pollution control and environmental protection
regulations.

     A major portion of the work conducted under these programs is
carried out under grants and contracts.  The grant-supported work
incorporates cost-sharing, ranging from 25 to over 50 percent, by the
grantee, usually an industry but in many cases  a municipality.
Demonstrations of newly developed technology are carried out principally
under cost-sharing grants,  In-house research,  development  and studies,
and similar work conducted under transfers of funds to other Federal
agencies compose the remaining work carried out under these programs.
Included in the programs are the development and demonstration of
advanced automotive oower systems producing low air pollution emissions,
technology for preventing and controlling air pollution emissions from
stationary sources, technology for preventing,  controlling  and treating
waste water discharges, and technology for collecting and disposing of
solid wastes as well as recovering and recycling materials  contained  in
solid wastes.

     An increase of $1,400,000 is requested to continue the development
and demonstration of advanced automotive power systems capable of complying
with the air emission standards required to be established for the 1975-1976
model-year motor vehicles by the Clean Air Amendments of 1970.

     The 1975-1976 motor vehicle emission standards required by the
Amendments call for a substantial reduction in air pollutants generated
by today's automobile engines and,.consequently *  will require substantial
modification of these power systems.  The automobile industry is pursuing
a research and development effort to develop power and/or accessory system
to comply with the standards, but it appears to be devoting most of these
efforts to modification of the internal combustion engine.  The industry
is giving must lesser attention to the development of alternative power
systems.  EPA believes there is a significant probability that the internal
combustion engine cannot be sufficiently modified to meet the required
standards and therefore believes that accelerated work in the development
and demonstration of alternative power systems must be performed to
supplement the efforts of the automobile industry.  For this reason,
EPA is proposing to continue its Advanced Automotive Power Systems.
Program (AAPSP) and its Federal Clean Car Incentive Program  (FCCIP).

     AAPSP is a five-year program within which EPA plans to develop and
fully demonstrate at fleet level at least one nonconventional power
system capable of complying with the 1975-1976 emission standards and
feasible of being mass produced, marketed, and accepted by the public.
Seven leading candidate power systems are currently under various stages
of development.  For each of these, a sequential   series of demonstrations
and testing are programmed:  first-stage prototype; second-stage prototype
and preproduction  prototype demonstration and testing.  The  program is
so designed that work of any one or several of these candidates can be
accelerated or discontinued at any one of the steps as determined by the
relative progress and success of the work on all   of the candidates, or
as determined by the progress and success of the  automobile  industry's
independent efforts.  In this way,  it is planned  to pursue,  at minimum  cost,
the development of those candidates having the greatest probability of
success.  At the present time, each of the seven  candidate power systems
being developed show promise of meeting the objectives of the program,
As further work is completed in  1972 and subsequent years, work on one  or
more of these systems may be reduced or discontinued  in order to
concentrate on the more promising systems.

     The  1971. program of work  in AAPSP encompasses the following activities.
For the light-vehicle  versions of  the diesel and stratified charge
engines., emission testing on experimental models  is  being completed to
determine key problems to be solved in 1972 to enable possible  preproduction


                                                                     ROD 2-3

-------
prototype demonstrations and testing in  1973.   For the  fly wheel/heat
engine and electric/heat engine hybrid systems,  accelerated  paper
design is being accomplished to permit selection of one of  these systems
for initiation of hardware development in 1972.   For the turbine and
Rankine engines, development of low emission combustors is  being carried
out to eliminate the principal  problem which has blocked several
industry-sponsored development  efforts.   Finally, for electric power
systems, fundamental research on battery components is  being performed.

     In 1972, under the increased funding requested, work on two of the
systems will be accelerated and work on the remaining systems will  be
continued at the 1971 level.  For the stratified charge engine,
presuming successful completion of the work currently underway, second-
stage prototype demonstration and testing will  be undertaken with  the
expectation that the preproductlon  prototype demonstration can begin
in 1973.  For the diesel engine, second-stage prototype engines will
be procured and demonstration and testing initiated late in the year.
Both of these efforts are designed to bring these engines to completion
of final fleet demonstration in 1973 and 1974.

     FCCIP is a program where under EPA purchases or leases, under
contract, prototype vehicles independently developed by private
industries, and tests these vehicles for their low emission performance.
This program complements AAPSP  by encouraging industry development of
nonconventional power and/or accessory systems potentially  capable
of meeting the 1975-1976 emission standards.  Systems being developed
by private industry and destined to be demonstrated under FCCIP are not
duplicated by Federal research, development, and demonstration under
AAPSP.   (However, different versions of a system—turbine engine,  for
example--may be included in AAPSP.)

     Under this program three stages of testing are involved:  a prototype
test (one vehicle); a demonstration test (10 vehicles); and fleet test
(about  300 vehicles).  An industry which has developed a low emission
system  and has been selected to enter the program, produces a prototype
vehicle  for the first test.  If this test is successful, it produces
vehicles for the demonstration test and so on through the fleet test.
If the  fleet test proves the vehicle capable of meeting 1975-1976
emission standards  and  Federal  safety regulations and feasible of being
commercially produced,  EPA will certify the vehicle for Federal procurement-
hence the incentive feature of the program.

     The program is being initiated in 1971.  Some 19 proposals for
entry into the program  have been received and more are expected.  These
are currently being evaluated, and it is expected that about seven entries
will be  selected before the end of 1971.  In 1972, the testing of these
entries  will commence and additional proposals will be evaluated for the
selection of several more entries.  Currently,  received proposals cover

Stationary sources	  $14.982,000     $28,821.000     $13.839,000

     An increase of $13,839,000 is requested to continue and  accelerate
the research, development, and demonstration of technology for  controlling
the emissions of sulfur  and nitrogen oxides from stationary  sources of
air pollution.  This increased work is needed to make available the means
of achieving compliance with the national  ambient air quality standards
currently being established for these pollutants pursuant-to  the Clean
Air Amendments of 1970.

     The expanded program will continue to  involve cost-sharing
participation by private industry.  It is  expected that the program
will attract between $6 and $12 million in  such participation.   Also,
the program will continue to encompass the  three primary approaches to
the control of sulfur  and nitrogen oxides:  (1) the cleaning of fuels
prior to their use to remove the precursors of air pollutants formed  in
combustion; (2) the removal of pollutants  from stack gases after they
are formed in the combustion process; and  (3) the improvement or
alteration of the combustion and/or heat utilization processes  to reduce
the amount or type of pollutants formed.  These different  approaches  or
combinations thereof will be necessary for applications to differing  sources
and for meeting differing situations in the control of the oxides of  sulfur
and nitrogen.

     Current work in the development of control technology for  sulfur
oxides involves demonstrations of several  techniques for removing these
pollutants from stack gases, pilot-scale development of two methods  for
gasifying and removing sulfur  from coal,  and development  of a  fluidized-
bed combustion process to reduce the formation of sulfur oxides.

     The work proposed for 1972 with the requested increased funding
will include  the continuance of current work and the addition of one new
demonstration project and three new pilot-plant projects.   The  demonstration
project will  encompass the construction and operation of a deep coal-
cleaning plant to produce a  low-sulfur  fuel for industrial and commercial
use.  The three pilot-plant  projects will   include two second-generation
stack-gas cleaning  processes  involving  two  different techniques of
producing elemental sulfur as  a byproduct   in lieu of producting a
throw-away waste or low-valued sulfuric acid from the sulfur removed from
the stack emissions.  The third pilot-plant project will  also  involve a
second generation stack-gas  cleaning technique—one capable of
simultaneously  removing  particulates and nitrogen oxides  in addition to
sulfur oxides.

     For nitrogen oxide  control,  a  five-year research and development
program is currently being initiated to produce the technology to reduce
1980 emissions of this pollutant  to pre-1950 levels.  Several  projects
involving  stack-gas cleaning and  modified  combustion techniques are presently
under way.   In  1972, trials  of a  modified  combustion method will be undertaken.
in  industrial-  and  utility-size boilers to  evaluate its feasibility.  In
additions the development of one  stack-gas  treatment process will be carried
to  the pi lot-plant  stage.

Solid waste technology	$11,129.000   $16.302.000     $5,173,000

     An increase of $5,173,000 is requested  (1)  to conduct a state-of-
the-art study of current resource recovery technology,   (2) to follow
this study with the commencement of demonstrations of two resource
recovery systems, and (3) to conduct special  studies of the subsidies,
economic incentives, and other methods of effecting and promoting the
recovery and recycling of materials from solid wastes.   This increased
work is addressed to implementing the new provisions and mandates of  the
Resource Recovery Act of 1970.

     Current activities in the solid waste program are primarily devoted
to the research, development, and demonstration  of new and improved
technology for the collection and disposal of municipal solid wastes.
These include the development of improved incineration processes which
eliminate the generation of air pollutants,  the  development of more
efficient waste collection vehicles and techniques, the design of better .
landfill disposal methods, and the development of processes to reduce the
size and volume of municipal solid waste both at residential or commercial
sources as well as at central points.

     Current work also includes development and  demonstration of methods
to recover energy and/or materials from solid wastes both to reduce the
amount and cost of waste disposal and to conserve valuable resources.  One
project underway in this area is the demonstration of a pilot-scale
incinerator/energy recovery system (called the CPU-400) which utilizes  the
hot gases generated by the incineration of municipal solid wastes to produce
steam generated electric power.  Other projects  include the demonstration
of a system to recover paoer fibers from municipal solid wastes and another
system to recover nonferrous metals from such wastes.

     In 1972, under the proposed increased program, the current lines of
control technology development and demonstrations will be continued and
will be complemented with new and additional work emphasizing resource
recovery and recycling.  One aspect of this expanded activity will involve
the demonstration of full-scale systems, to recover materials or energy from
municipal solid wastes.  The first step will be the conduct of a comprehensive
study of the existing as well as the developed but undemonstrated technology
currently available.  This study will enable the best selection of methods
deemed ready for full-scale demonstration under actual operating conditions
within municipal solid waste management systems.  The study will be followed
by the initiation of such demonstrations of two selected  systems.  These
demonstrations will be two to four year projects supported by Federal grants
authorized under Section 208 of the Resource Recovery Act of 1970.  The
participating municipality will provide at least 25 percent of the cost of
the demonstrations.  Potential candidates for demonstration are expected to
include different systems which accomplish the separation of metals  and
other materials from municipal solid wastes so that they  can be marketed and
thereby recycled.  The projects will  include the demonstration of not only
the technical feasibility but also the economic feasibility of the systems
being demonstrated.

-------
     The second aspect of the expanded 1972 program will  encompass  several
studies of different mechanisms to promote the recycling  of solid waste
materials and/or the reduced generation of solid wastes.   These studies  are
mandated by Section 205 of the Resource Recovery Act of 1970,  and the
results of this work are required to be reported to the Congress at least
annually.  Each study will involve a comprehensive analysis and evaluation  of
the opportunities and practicalities of employing various tax  and other
economic incentives or disincentives, subsidies, depletion allowances,
capital gains treatment, and other mechanisms, as well  as resource  recovery
systems to achieve the above objectives.  Candidates for the studies to  be
conducted in 1972 include beverage containers, paper packaging, plastics,
ferrous metals, glass, textiles, rubber, and other materials contained  in
municipal solid wastes.  The near- and long-term goals of these studies--
those to be conducted in 1972 as well as those to be undertaken in
subsequent years—is to develop a better national strategy for the  control
of solid wastes, a strategy which includes approaches other than conventional
collection and disposal.

Water pollution control
  technology	$38,146,000  $32,760,000       -$5,386,000

     A decrease of $5,386,000 is planned as  a result of reorientation of
the program to include a greater amount of in-house work in lieu of work
conducted under grants and contracts.   This  reorientation is being
undertaken to improve EPA's capability to address research and development
needs arising from standards-setting,  enforcement, and other operational
activities.  These activities are imposing an increasing number of cases
requiring immediate, short-term research, the immediate availability of
specialized scientific personnel, and  the conduct of specific field and
laboratory studies requiring research  capabilities.  Such needs are not
readily or easily fulfilled through grant or contract projects.

     The 1971 program  of work covers  a wide range of projects to develop
new and improved methods of preventing, treating, or controlling waste
waters from municipal, industrial, agricultural, mining, and marine sources.
Included in these projects are full-scale demonstrations of phosphorous
removal, oxygen aeration, electrochemical chlorination,  and other processes
for upgrading municipal  waste water treatment technology.  For industrial
waste sources, demonstrations of processes to remove color from kraft  pulp
mill wastes, to provide chemical-biological  treatment of joint municipal-
industrial wastes and to provide treatment of dyestuff and various organic
wastes are under way.  For agricultural wastes, research on controlling
animal feedlot pollution, salinity pollution, and land run-off drainage is
being performed.  To control acid mine pollution, a reverse-osmosis process
for neutralizing acid mine drainage and a self-sealing permeable plug  for
closing mine entries are being developed and demonstrated.  For the control
of oil pollution, several methods to remove oil from water and several
methods of preventing oil spills are under development.  Finally, methods
for removing organic contaminants in the treatment of drinking waters  are
being researched.

      In 1972, these lines of research, development, and demonstration  will
be continued with greater emphasis devoted to in-house work in lieu of grant
and contract work.

New facilities	$28,000,000     $28,000,000

     Fiscal year 1972 funds are requested for construction of an
Environmental Protection Laboratory to be located adjacent to the
University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio.  This laboratory, which
will be available in 1975, is envisioned as a facility which will
provide for multidisciplined research over the wide spectrum of
environmental problems.

     As we look ahead to the research and pollution problem-solving
needs of the future, the requirement for bringing together groups
which can seek solutions from multidiscipline backgrounds and over the
total range of environmental conditions  becomes apparent.  A comprehensive
approach to our environmental crises requires coordinated and compatible
enforcement which must be based on criteria developed from a scientific
base.  Construction of this laboratory presents a unique and timely
opportunity to consolidate small categorical efforts into an EPA prototype
multidisciplinary research laboratory to help provide this base.  Related
training would also be provided from this laboratory to public and
private organizations to stimulate the rapid application of Improved
prevention and control technology.

     The choice of Cincinnati as a location for such a facility was
influenced by several factors:

     1=  At the outset there is a reasonable core of EPA activity located
in Cincinnati.  This core will permit an orderly expansion and growth to
achieve our desired end result.

     2.  The University of Cincinnati and its associated colleges
(including the medical college) have a significant research program
covering a wide range of environmental problems under way.

     3.  Prior to establishment to EPA,  the need for an environmental-
oriented facility had been recognized and HEW negotiations with  the City
of Cincinnati had proceeded to a point of considerable commitment on
the city's part and on the part of the Federal Government.  The  city
had offered, at no cost, a 20 acre site  adjacent to the University of
Cincinnati and the Federal Government had informally accepted.   This
action necessitated that the city, through  urban renewal, condemn,
purchase, and raze properties, as needed, for this purpose.  This
condemnation procedure is still under way.  At the end of December 1970,
out of 188 sites involved only 40 still  remain to be acquired.
                                                                     F-3

-------
;  '  ^           4.  Planning and design of the Cincinnati facility is expected to be
          completed this spring and therefore provides an opportunity to both
ri        benefit from a design effort costing some $1.4 million and shorten the time
j  j        for commencing the construction phase.

               The facility is planned as a 356,000 gross square foot laboratory and
"""]        office building which will provide facilities for research and training
., j        in fields such as solid waste management, radiation, air pollution control,
          and domestic and recreational water supply control.  It will also house
          expertise to provide technical assistance on environmental problems to
          other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and the private sectors
          as needed.  The building has been designed for maximum flexibility,
          providing approximately 200,000 net square feet of interchangeable office
  j        and laboratory space to accommodate changing program needs.  The structure
  *        will provide for 750 professional, administrative, and technical personnel,
          many of whom are currently employed at nine separate locations.  Included in
  :        these are eight locations involving leases costing the Federal Government
          $755,231 per year.  The budget request includes $28,000,000 to construct
          and initially equip this facility.  It is estimated that a construction
  .        contract amounting to $20,500,000 will be let by the end of calendar year
          1971.  This will result in the facility being completed and occupied in
          1975.  See page F-8 for a photograph of the proposed facility.
                                                                      Increase or

               No new budget  authority  is  requested  for  this  purpose.   It  is
           proposed  to reprogram  $1,300,000 from  funds  appropriated  in prior years
           for new facilities.  These  funds are available for  reprogramming as  a
           result of decisions  to defer  new construction  over  the  past several  years.
           Two points must  be  made here.   First,  the  passage of  time coupled with  rising
           construction  costs  make it  impossible  to proceed with these facilities  as
           originally funded.   Second, and  perhaps  more important, the EPA  need for
           facilities must  be  carefully  reviewed  to determine  a  proper priority for
           these activities.   A major  review of existing  facilities  is being undertaken
           along with an assessment of our  future needs.   The  results of this  study
           Will  permit us to make reasonable recommendations with  regard to EPA
           facility  needs.

      It should be noted that the water quality activity reprogrammed—by
 congressional  consent in the past several  years—  $1,850,000 of funds
 appropriated for a laboratory to be located in Boston,  Massachusetts.
 The plans and  specifications for this facility were completed.   However,
 because of the construction moratorium, the land which  was donated by  the
 State reverted back to the State since it  was not  used  within the period
 cited in the deed transferring the property to the Federal Government.
 Therefore, if  a laboratory was to be built in Boston, Massachusetts, a
 new site would have to be acquired, nev^f plans and  specifications designed,
 and additional funds would be needed due to increased construction costs
 since the estimate was made some years ago.  For this reason, these funds
 have been reprogrammed to meet essential repairs,  improvements, and/or
 alteration needs.  In all cases where funds have been appropriated for
 construction,  they would be inadequate if decisions were made to proceed,
 due to the increase in construction costs.  Therefore,  pending any such
 decisions, it  is proposed to use the balance of $860,716 from the funds
 appropriated for the Boston, Massachusetts, laboratory and $439,284 of the
 Ann Arbor, Michigan, laboratory funds for a total  of $1,300,000.

Agency management	$18,990,000   $23.106,000	$4,116,000

     Agency management includes the top management leadership team and
the centralized agency-wide management support activities.   Specific
organizational elements are:  the Office of the Administrator; the
Office of Congressional Affairs; the Office of Public Affairs; the
Office of International Affairs; the Office of Equal Opportunity;
the Assistant Administrator for Planning and Management; the Assistant
Administrator for Research and Monitoring; the Assistant Administrator
(for Standards and Enforcement) and General Counsel; the Assistant
Administrator for Field Coordination; and an Assistant Administrator not
yet assigned.

     A major initial consideration in structuring the Environmental
Protection Agency has been the need to organize an agency management
team while at the same time assuring that the environmental
responsibilities transferred to EPA were aggressively fulfilled.
This objective is reflected in the program direction and support
activity in two ways.  First, the initial staffing of agency level
functions has been accomplished primarily through centralization
of management support activities such as accounting, budgeting,
personnel, administrative services, etc.  These centralized
activities are responsible for providing support to all levels of
EPA management.  The centralization approach has made the initial
EPA agency level operations possible while avoiding large-scale
recruitment of management staff.  The second major theme reflected
here is that the EPA management structure will be evolutionary.
This means that, as we bring together the management team, we will
determine specific staffing requirements based on operating experience
rather than stipulate detailed organizational design in advance.
This approach recognizes the need for participation of the Assistant
Administrator management level in determining detailed organizational
design and staffing.  This approach also requires considerable flexibility
in the allocation of manpower  and funds during the evolutionary phase.

     As we complete the centralization of management staff activities
and determine the staffing requirements for the Assistant Administrator
level, we find many instances where the manpower  resources are  inadequate
to perform a  function.  During the next year we can also expect to
find instances where the manpower resources- exceed  the requirements
in some areas.  As  a result, it is not possible to  determine  specific
manpower requirements  for each organizational element  at this point.
The plan for  1972 involves careful management attention to the  problem
of balancing  manpower  requirements.  This will require  a continuous
review of vacant positions  created by  attrition to  ensure  assignments
to priority  needs.   It also  involves central  control  and allocation  of
the 109 positions requested  in the  1972  budget.


                                                                     PDS-3

                                   1971             1972        Decrease

Program management	$3,908,000       $4,614,000         $706,000

     Program management includes personnel  and support costs  for top
level leadership of the water quality office, the air pollution control
office, the solid wastes management office, the radiation office, the
pesticides office, and the noise office.   This activity provides the
Commissioner and immediate staff function of these offices.

     To a large degree, agency level support activities have  been
created by centralizing functions and personnel  previously assigned
at the water quality, air pollution control, etc., levels.  The
centralized staff now supports both agency level  and program  level
requirements serving the Commissioner responsible for those  activities
directly related to program accomplishment.  Generally, each  Commissioner
has retained a staff capability in two areas to facilitate accomplishment
of program responsibilities.   These include a small  staff to  assist in
the coordination of program direction who report to the Commissioner
and a program development staff to support planning of future program  and
execution of the current program.

     The 1972 increase for program management is directly related to the
overall growth in EPA programs.  The air pollution control office will
increase the planning staff and provide  for additional manpower at the
air pollution control center in Durham,  North Carolina.  The water quality
office will require a small increase in  the planning office  and in the
immediate office of the Commissioner.  The solid waste management office
and the pesticides office will be increased to provide for strengthening
the program development staff.

$3,844,000
     The regional management activity will provide personnel and support
costs for a Regional Administrator and his immediate staff in each of the
10 regions.  Regional administration will be responsible for directing
the various environmental protection activities within the boundaries of
their respective regions.  These offices will require program staff to
ensure that environmental problems are attacked in a coordinated manner
and management support staff such as personnels contracting, and
housekeeping activities.  The 10 EPA regions-and their boundaries are
shown on pages PDS-7 and 8.

     The organizational transfer to EPA involved numerous -small groups
scattered throughout the United States which were performing, a variety
of activities in support of water quality, airs radiation, solid wastes,
and pesticides programs.  One of the first conclusions within EPA was
                                                                    PDS-4

-------
    ,   that these efforts must be brought together along regional lines so
       that the environmental program can be pursued in a coordinated fashion.
 -,      We are taking these steps.  A reorganization of regional offices in the
       Environmental Protection Agency's 10 regions is to take effect on
 1      July ls 1971 and is expected to be completed by September 30 of this
       year.  Three of the nine regional offices that EPA inherited from the
 "i      former Federal Water Quality Administration will be transferred to new
 j      headquarters cities.  The regional offices affected involve the moving
       of personnel and activities involved in water pollution control from
••>      Charlottesville, Virginia, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; from
       Cincinnati, Ohio, to Chicago, Illinois and Denver, Colorado; and from
       Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington.

 [           In 1971 the major effort in regional management was to staff the
       most critical positions and to start organizing and structuring each
       regional organization in the most efficient manner possible.  Existing
       regional direction personnel within the water quality office regional
       organization were used to the greatest extent possible but it was
       apparent that additional manpower would be required to provide an
 •«      effective regional management.  This staffing began in 1971 and
       continues in 1972.  Also, because of the proposed program acceleration
       in 1972, additional resources are needed to meet the related administrative
       management support requirements that are associated with such activities.
       Increased budget authority of $1,662,000 is requested to support additional
       manpower needs.  In addition, the relocation and centralization necessary
       to some degree in all regional cities, requires additional resources
       to fund office and household moves and to cover leasing costs through
 j      the end of  1972.  The amount being requested for this purpose is
       $2,182,000.

            As in  the agency management  area, we have provided for staffing
       of regional offices in an evolutionary manner.  The 1971 supplemental
       request provided for 50 positions and the 1972 request for an additional
       50.  This will permit an  average  of 10 additional positions for each
       region but  the actual allocation  will depend upon individual circumstances
       such as the transfer of existing  staff and  rate of growth.
                                                                            PDS-5

                           Construction Grants

Purpose

     This appropriation covers the Federal  grants  that would  be  made
available to municipal, intermunicipal, State, and Interstate agencies
for the construction of waste treatment works and  major interceptor
sewers under a proposed bill  to extend  and amend Section 8 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.  Section 8 of the
current Act expires on June 30S 1971, and the Agency has transmitted
to the Congress a proposed bill to extend and substantially modify  the
provisions of this section of the Act.

     Federal grant assistance for the construction of municipal  waste
treatment works has been authorized since 1956; since that time, through
February 28, 1971, $2.2 billion of assistance has  been provided  for
11,397 facilities having a total cost of $9.3 billion.  Over  this period
both the percentages of Federal grants  and the annual amount  of  monies
authorized and appropriated has been increased in  several steps. For 1971
$1.25 billion was authorized with $1 billion being appropriated. The
current percentages of Federal assistance range between 30 and 55 percent.

     In December 1970, EPA completed a  comprehensive survey of the  Nation's
municipal waste treatment needs.  This  showed the  need for a  national
investment of $12.0 billion through the end of 1974.  Such an investment
would overcome the backlog of construction needs necessary to bring all
municipal discharges into compliance with established water quality
standards, or equivalent levels of quality where standards are not
established, and the development of self-sufficient programs  at  the State
and local levels for assuring the future operation, maintenance, expansion,
and replacement of treatment works.  The amount of this investment  takes
into account the amount of monies available from the 1970 and 1971
appropriations yet unobligated as of the completion date of the  survey.
It also would provide for the reimbursement of communities and States which
have prefinanced the Federal share of eligible construction costs because
of the insufficiency of grant funds under current and prior appropriations.

     The legislative proposal would authorize $2 billion for each of the
years  1972, 19739 and 1974 to provide $6 bullion for the Federal share.
The Federal share of $6 billion was calculated as  follows:

                                                          (in billions)

-------
     This Federal share is estimated to average 48.5 percent per new
project over the three years, based on expected involvement of the States
in providing supplementary financial support and in establishing water
quality standards, both of which determine different levels of Federal
assistance.   Accordingly, the appropriation request for construction
grants for 1972 is $2 billion.  This is an increase of $1  billion over
the amount appropriated in 1971.

     The expanded program of grants for the construction of waste
treatment works proposed for 1972 represents the first phase of a three
year program designed to meet all presently defined municipal waste
treatment needs through 1974.  The objectives are to bring water
pollution from municipalities under control by achieving a rate of
construction which will overcome the unmet backlog of needed facilities,
keep pace with needs for new facilities resulting from population growth,
and keep pace with needs to replace facilities which become obsolete
because of age, technical advancement, or population relocation,  This
program is intended  to bring the Nation's municipal waste discharges
into full compliance with established water quality standards, enforcement
actions, and other Federal and State requirements.

     The program is  based on EPA's recently completed survey of municipal
waste treatment needs.  This study indicated a national waste treatment
facilities construction need of $12.0 billion by the end of 1974, based
on 1970 dollars.  This figure represents an increase over the earlier
$10 billion estimate  (presented in the President's Environmental Message
of February 1970) because of higher construction costs, recent modifications
of water quality standards, and refined engineering estimates.  As pointed
out previously, the  Federal share for this new estimate is estimated to
be $7.28 billion.  Of this amount, $1.46 billion takes into consideration
reimbursements under section 8(c) of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act, as amended, to  communities that have already proceeded with the
construction of treatment plants with no grant or with less than the full,
eligible Federal grant amount.  However, this $7.28 billion share is offset
by funds remaining from the  1970 and 1971 appropriations.  It was realized
that the peak demand for  Federal funds could occur in  1972 and  1973.
However, a constant  funding  level of $2 billion annually for  1972, 1973,
and 1974 is being requested for authorization in the proposed bill.  The
$2 billion requested for  1972 is considered  an optimum level which would
avoid a sudden drain on construction resources  (with its attendent
inflationary effects) and would result in a more even distribution of the
obligation of funds  over  the three-year period.

     This programa if carried through the three-year period, will permit
EPA to fund its national water pollution control goals, based on current
cost estimates, by the end of 1974; to provide  for Federal commitment to
cover all existing and predicted reimbursement  projects by the  end of
1974; and to help the States and communities become self-sufficient in
providing for  their  waste  treatment needs on  a  current basis.
                                                                    CG-4

               Table A on page CG-6  presents workload statistics on the program for
          1970, 1971, and 1972.

          Allotmentoffumte

               The existing legislation,  Section  8(c),  incorporates a formula which
          requires the allotment of  annual  appropriations of grant funds among the
i  j        States on the basis of population (50 percent of  the first $100 million
          and all amounts over $100  million) and  per capita income (50 percent of
          the first $100 million).   Public  Law 91-439 which provided the $1 billion
          appropriation for 1971 provided that $800 million was  to be allotted
          under this formula and that the remaining $200 million was to be available
          for allocation to States,  based on eligibility, for reimbursement or
  I        severe local and basinwide water  pollution problems (see later discussion
          on this $200 million).  Columns (1)  and (2),  Table B on page CG-7, show
          the allotment of 1970 and  1971  appropriated funds in accordance with the
          formula of the current Act for $800  million for 1970 and 1971.  The
          additional $200 million in 1971 for  reimbursement or severe local and
          basinwide pollution problems will be allocated  in accordance with
  ,        prescribed regulations.
                                                                             CG-5

* Although the total allocation is identical in 1970 and 1971, the
    existing formula in Section 8(c) of the Federal Water Pollution
    Control Act, as  amended, provides that per capita income of each
    State is the basis for allocating a portion of the  appropriation.
    Therefore, a change in a State's per capita income  from the
    latest two years available would cause a change in  their allocations
    from 1970 to 1971.

-------
             Operating experience has shown that the current allotment formula
 >      fails to allocate monies in accordance with water pollution control needs.
 J      Accordingly, the proposed bill to extend and amend Section 8 provides
        for a new allotment formula designed to permit a degree of flexibility in
~~}      directing grant funds to areas of the Nation where they are most critically
 |      needed and can be most effectively used to abate municipal waste pollution,
 J      This new allotment formula specifies that 45 percent of each annual
        appropriation would be allotted to the States on the basis of population;
        that up to 20 percent of the appropriation would be allotted among those
        States (see Table C on page CG-lO) which agree to pay at  least 25 percent
        of the cost of all projects receiving construction grants during the
        fiscal year; that up to 25 percent of the appropriation would be allotted
        to those States which have existing "reitobursables" for which full grants
        have not been made because of lack of Federal funds under current and
        prior appropriations; and that the remainder of the appropriation would
        be allotted to States to meet the most serious water pollution control
        problems determined by the Administrator.

             Table D on page CG-11 shows how the $2 billion appropriation request
        for 1972 would be allotted pursuant to the formula of the proposed bill.
        The footnotes on this table define the assumptions under which these
        estimates are formulated.  (Although the actual allotments would be slightly
        different for the reasons indicated, this table does provide a reasonably
        good approximation of the distribution of funds that would be authorized.)

a/ Based on the apportionment formula contained in the proposed bill to

     Act, as amended.

b/ Based on Section 8(a)(4)(A) of the proposed bill, assuming population
     statistics of July  1, 1970.  The July ls 1971, statistics will be
     used to make the 1972 allocation.

                                                                     CG-12

-------
c/ Based on Section 8(a)(4)(B) of the proposed bill, assuming eligible
     State financial assistance programs in only the 31 States listed
     in Table C.  This assumption will change if additional States
     develop eligible financial assistance programs before July 1, 1971.

d/ Based on Section 8(a)(4)(C) of the proposed bill, assuming the outstanding
     reimbursables as of February 28, 1971.  The actual allocation of funds
     for reimbursables will be based on outstanding reimbursables as of
     June 30, 1971, rather than February 28, 1971.  Consequently, the
     assumption used here gives only order-of-magnitude estimates.

e_/ Based on Section 8(a)(4)(D) of the proposed bill, assuming that the
     full 20 percent of funds based on State financial assistance and
     the full 25 percent of funds based on reimbursables are allocated
     for these purposes (the proposed bill authorized amounts up to these
     percentage limitations).
March 31, 1971                                                       CG-13

Federal share

     Provisions of the existing legislation authorize grants  not  to
exceed 30 percent of the eligible costs of a project, but further
provide for (1) grants up to 40 percent in the case where the State
provides a 30 percent grant, or (2) grants up to 50 percent where the
State provides a 25 percent grant and where enforceable water quality
standards have been established, and (3) a 10 percent increase in the
amount of the grant if the project conforms with a comprehensive  plan
developed for a metropolitan area.  The proposed bill would slightly
modify these provisions by authorizing the same 30 percent basic  grant,
but permitting (1) grants up to 40 percent where the State provides
a 25 percent grant, loan, or other type of financial assistance,  or
(2) grants up to 55 percent where the State provides the same 25  percent
level of assistance and where enforceable water quality standards have
been established.  As of March 31, 1971, 31 States and territories have
applicable financial assistance programs in operation and five to 10
more are expected to have such programs before the end of 1974.   In
addition, Federal-State water quality standards have been established
on all interstate waters and 46 States and jurisdications have established
standards for all or portions of their intrastate waters.  On the basis
of these facts and projections of additional State involvement in providing
financial assistance and establishing intrastate standards over the  ensuing
three years, it is estimated that the average Federal grant share over the
life of the proposed program will be 48.5 percent.  On the basis  of  this
estimate, the Federal share of the $12.0 billion national need for
municipal waste treatment plant construction has been placed  at $5.82
billion.

Reimbursements

     The Clean Water Restoration Act of 1966 (PL 89-753) amended  the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act and. provided for reimbursement payments
from allotments for any fiscal year ending before June 30, 1971,  for
treatment works (eligible under Section 8(c) of the Act) for  which
construction was initiated after June 30, 1966, and which proceeded  without
a Federal grant or with a lesser percent of the eligible construction costs
than was authorized by law.  In essence, this amendment provided  that any
allotments to States prior to July 1, 1971, could be used to  reimburse
States and municipalities which had used their own funds, in  lieu of
Federal funds, to finance projects eligible for grants.

     Under this provision, the number and dollar value of reimbursable
projects and the concomitant need for reimbursement funds has increased
continuously.  When the appropriations were near or below the $200 million
level in and before 1969, many States were forced to use the  reimbursement
grant device to enable needed projects to move ahead in a timely fashion
without jeopardizing their future eligibility for Federal funds.   After
1969, "reimbursement projects" in States having very active construction
programs were initiated at an increasing rate.  Additional reimbursement
balances arose from the establishment of new State matching grant programs.


                                                                    CG-14

-------
This resulted from the fact that a community was eligible for a higher
Federal grant (30-33 percent versus 50-55 percent) if the State has
adopted a matched grant program.  As of February 28, 1971, there were
151 active unfunded reimbursement projects (no Federal funds obligated)
representing a Federal share of $247 million; an additional  999 projects
have been partially funded (less than full Federal entitlement obligated)
representing a Federal share of $1.3 billion.  Thus, the total Federal
share (representing the total difference between actual grants made and
the total Federal eligibility) of these 1,144 active reimbursable projects
amounts to over $1.5 billion  (see Table E on page CG-16).

     Under the current legislation and EPA's regulations, the States
are permitted to use some or all of their annual allotment to satisfy
reimbursables.  This, of course, drains monies away from new projects
which are needed to abate water pollution and achieve compliance with
water quality standards.  Consequently, the States are electing to use
far less of their allotments than would be necessary to alleviate the
backlog of reimbursables within a reasonable time period.  In partial
response to this, the 1971 appropriation act specified that $200 million
of the $1 billion appropriation is to be allocated to the States for
reimbursables or severe local or basinwide water pollution problems.
These funds will be allotted in accordance with prescribed regulations.

     To bring about a reasonable and timely alleviation of the reimbursable
backlog, the proposed bill to extend and amend Section 8 provides for two
substantive changes in current provisions of the Act.  First, reimbursable
projects initiated after June 30, 1971, would be permitted only with the
approval of the Administrator of EPA after a finding of critical need
pursuant to specific qualifications.  This provision would restrict the
continuing growth of reimbursables and provide EPA with a degree of control
over their current spiralling accumulation.  Secondly, the allotment
formula of the proposed bill specifically provides for the allotment
for reimbursables of up to 25 percent of each year's appropriated funds.
These allotments under the proposed $6 billion three-year program would
enable the alleviation of all currently outstanding  reimbursables and
all reimbursables accumulated through the end of  1974 provided the
restrictions on new reimbursables after June 30,  1971, is placed in effect.
                                                                    CG-15

Other elements of the proposed program

     The two objectives of the proposed $12.0 billion national  municipal
waste treatment construction program are:  (1) to relieve the national
backlog of waste treatment needs by the end of 1974 and to place the
Nation's municipal wastes treatment systems on a self-sustaining basis
to handle population growth and obsolescence, and (2) to achieve the
greatest degree of cost-effectiveness in the facilities constructed
under the program in the next three years,   The proposed bill includes
several modifications of current provisions of Section 8 to achieve
these objectives.  In addition, EPA has placed into effect several  major
changes in its regulations and administrative procedures covering the
construction grants program to address these objectives.

     Provisions of the proposed bill require, among other things, that
grantees (1) provide for adequate operation and maintenance of completed
facilities; (2) provide for adequately trained management and operational
personnel; (3) provide the institutional, managerial, and financial  capability
to place the system on a self-sustaining basis to provide for future
maintenance, expansion, and replacement of the facilities; and (4) provide
for the recovery of costs of facilities attributable to the treatment of
industrial wastes and further provide for a user-charge or equivalent
system to defray the operation, maintenance, expansion, and replacement
costs attributable to such wastes.  Other provisions of the proposed bill
enable EPA to make a determination of the public benefits of proposed
projects and to issue regulations and guidelines to assure the adequate
cost effectiveness of facilities constructed under the program.

     Actions taken recently by EPA to provide for an improved program
include (1) the issuance of regulations requiring that projects be in
conformity with river basin and regional water quality management plans;
(2) the issuance of regulations and guidelines covering projects which  will
treat industrial wastes; and (3) the issuance of regulations and guidelines
governing the design, operation, and maintenance of projects.  It is
intended to follow-up on these actions with increased program efforts to
aid the States and local governments in completing river basin and regional
water quality management plans; to periodically issue technical bulletins
on waste treatment plant design, operation, and maintenance; to provide
for the rapid and effective transfer of research, development, and demonstration
results on new and improved waste treatment technology into operational
practice; and to support and assist in the training of waste treatment
plant operators and other personnel.  These actions, together with the
strengthened provisions of the proposed bill, are intended to assure the
best utilization of the funds herein requested for construction grants  for
1972 and proposed for appropriation in the subsequent two fiscal years.
                                                                   CG-18

Purpose
     This appropriation covers the support of valuable research, develop-
ment, and demonstration projects in foreign countries.   Appropriated
funds are used to purchase the currencies of these countries which have
accrued to the United States primarily through the sale of surplus
agricultural commodities.   These purchased currencies are employed to
support the projects undertaken in the participating countries.  This
program is authorized by the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance
Act of 1954 and the International  Health Research Act of 1960.

     The program is designed to gain greater knowledge of the effects of
and means of controlling environmental pollution.  Through this program,
EPA combines the talents of U. S.  scientists with the expertise of foreign
specialists in collaborative work that contributes to the advancement of
the domestic mission of EPA as well as those of the participating countries
Further, this program enables EPA to study unusual or intensified
environmental conditions in the participating countries that are not
readily investigate in the U. S.

Justification

     EPA's Scientific Activities Overseas  program provides  full  support
to foreign research, development, and demonstration  projects  which
supplement or complement similar efforts completed or being carried  out
in the U. S.   The objective of the program is to obtain results  which
are useful for solving environmental  problems in this country as well
as in the participating Nation and in other foreign  countries.   Proposals
for individual projects are carefully reviewed and negotiated with the
participating country.  When approved by EPA, they are funded in the
fiscal year of approval for the total period of their operation  (ranging
from one to five years but averaging about three years).

     The projects, participating countries, and estimated costs  herein
delineated for both 1971 and 1972 are based on project proposals which,
in many cases, have not been fully negotiated and finalized.   Accordingly,
the allocation of resources and the planned work described herein are
subject to the unanticipated changes that  can occur  in dealing with
foreign programs.

     The 1971 appropriation of $3,500,000  was justified for and  is
planned to be allocated to air pollution projects only.  The  evaluation
and selection of project proposals has been completed but the final
negotiations  and award of funds has not been completed.

     The 1972 appropriation request of $10,670,000 is designed to support
projects pertaining to air, water, solid waste, and  radiation pollution.
Meaningful project proposals for this amount have been received  and
favorably considered in a preliminary evaluation and selection process.
Negotiations  leading to the final approval and award of funds for these
projects will be commenced when the appropriation bill is enacted.

     Under projects approved and initiated prior to 1971, studies are
currently being conducted in Poland on the estimation and effects of
carcinogenic material in airborne particulate matter.  This work is
similar to other studies done in several countries.  Its conduct in
Poland allows comparison with results obtained in somewhat different
situations.  Comparison of the results from all these studies with their
differences and similarities in pollution sources, meteorology, and other
factors, permits an improved understanding of the carcinogenic properties
of urban air pollution.

     In 1971, it is planned to fund new studies in Yugoslavia to
investigate lead and manganese as pollutants of the industrial and urban
atmosphere, to investigate the exposure and health status of populations
                                                                  SAO-3

-------
         near mines and smelters,  and to  develop methods  for  removing  sulfur
         dioxide from power plant  stack emissions.   Additionally,  it is  planned
         to fund projects in Israel,  India,  and  Poland  for  the  translation of
         important technical and scientific  literature  dealing  with environmental
         pollution control  and to  distribute this work  to academic institutions
"1       and air pollution  agencies  in the United States.

              Proposals for projects  to be funded in 1972 include  studies to be
---}       undertaken in India and Poland dealing  with the  effects of lead and
  ,       other trace metal  air pollutants on man; the methodology  for  removing
         potential air contaminants  from  fossil  fuels;  the  development of methods
         for odor control and removal of  sulfur  oxides  and  nitrogen oxides from
  ••       flue gases; and the statistical  analysis and processing of air  quality
         data for program control.   In addition, these  1972 proposals  include a
         large project in Yugoslavia  for  a full-scale demonstration of the
         Monsanto Cat-Ox sulfur oxide control process.  Like the U, S.,  many
         countries are substantially  dependent on sulfur-bearing fossil  fuel for
         energy needs.  Sulfur oxides control remains one of the major unsolved
         technical problems, particularly as it  relates to  control of  emissions
         from large electric power stations.  In the U. S., EPA is supporting,
         in conjunction with the private  sector, a  commercial-sized demonstration
         of the Monsanto process on  a medium-sulfur coal  burning plant.  The
         Yugoslavia demonstration  would be performed with a coal of much higher
  /       sulfur content.  Generally,  utilities in the U.  S. have resisted commitment
         to sulfur oxides control  technology because of concern that the limited
         body of performance data  may not be applicable to  their situation.  By
         proving the technique with  a second test on a  different—even more
         pollution-prone--fuel, the  potential effectiveness of the process and
         motivation for its wide adoption in the U. S.  will be enhanced. The
         economics of the process  is  directly related to  the sulfur-in-fuel  content.
         In addition, aside from chemically  converting  sulfur oxides  in the
         combustion gas to sulfuric  acid, the process removes particulate matter
         with a highly efficient precipitator.  Thus, the process  is capable of
         removing simultaneously at  least two of the three  major pollutants
         associated with combustion  operations.

         drinking water which have potential significance to the health of U*S,
         citizens.  These projects will include the development of methods
         for isolating viruses from such waters; the study of the suspected
         relationship of dissolved silica in drinking water to kidney disfunction;
         the exploration of the fluoride-aluminum hypothesis which suggests that
         aluminum may combine with fluoride 1n the water treatment process to reduce
         the beneficial properties of the fluoride; and the study of the physiological
         consequences of continuous use of drinking water of substandard quality.

     Solid waste disposal and recycling studies are proposed for 1972 in
 India and Pakistan, using the excellent scientific talents available in
.these two countries.  Project proposals include recycling of animal
 wastes, development of'separation methods for municipal solid wastes,
 development of methods for "tagging" materials during production to
 facilitate later separation from waste conglomerates, and development
 of  procedures for detoxification of selected hazardous materials.
