APPENDIX A
LABORATORY DESCRIPTIONS
The following appendix presents the background information compiled for each of the 39
laboratories included in the study. The 20 ORD laboratories and field offices are presented first,
followed by the 9 program office laboratories, and concluding with each of the 10 environmental
services organizations. Preceding the individual descriptions is a list of the laboratories in the
order they appear in the appendix as well as their locations and their abbreviations.
Each description is accompanied by an organization chart, activity/function matrix,
financial data table, facility data table, equipment data table, two EPA human resource data tables
and a figure, and an on-site extramural workforce table. The laboratory descriptions have been
prepared based on interviews with laboratory personnel and printed information provided by
them. The organization charts and data for the activity/function matrices were provided by the
laboratories. The finance, facility, and equipment data were provided by OARM, ORD, and
laboratory representatives. Responses to the EPA survey Workforce '94 were provided by the
Agency and used along with EPAYS data to compile the human resource data tables presented
in this appendix.
The descriptions of the ten regional environmental services organizations address only the
three core functions common to them—laboratory services, quality assurance and quality control,
and field monitoring. The organization chart included with each regional description shows the
relationship between the core functions and the regional laboratory proper.

Notes of Explanation for Table 5
Employees Reporting of Work Activity By Laboratory
Employees that participated in the Workforce Survey were asked to describe their work-
related activities. This report reflects the results as entered by those surveyed in each
organization.
The first two columns summarize responses by work-year and percentage of work-year
distribution.
Columns three through seven (Q1-Q5) reflect how an individual reported the degree of
involvement in any function or activity. It is important to note that an individual may have
reported involvement in more than one category.
• Column three (Ql) represents number of people who reported they are involved
in the activity 76-100% of the time.
* Column four (Q2) represents represents number of people who reported they are
involved in the activity 51-75% of the time.
• Column five (Q3) represents represents number of people who reported they are
involved in the activity 26-50% of the tune.
• Column six (Q4) represents represents number of people who reported they are
involved in the activity 6-25% of the time.
« Column seven (Q5) represents represents number of people who reported they are
involved in the activity 5% of the time.
• The column titled NI (Column eight) represents the number of respondents that
indicated no involvement in the specified function or activity.
• The total column (Column nine) represents the total number of respondents from
each site that participated in the survey.

Notes of Explanation for Table 6
A Forecast of Retirement Eligibility
This report focuses on the retirement eligibility of EPA employees that participated in the
survey. Data are organized by:
Table A Reported Level of Education
Table B Grade Summary
Table C Matrix Summary - Combined Grade/Education level
Table D Involvement in Key Sciences - Bench Science and Scientific interpretation activity.
The totals for Tables A, B, and C represent those individuals who are eligible for retirement
between the years 1994 and 2000.
Table D (a subset of A, B, and C) summarizes the retirement eligibility of all individuals
reporting 25% or more activity in the two key areas of Bench Science and Engineering &
Scientific Interpretation. In this table, the category labeled 'other' constitutes those individuals
reporting a high level of involvement in the Science activities but not eligible to retire through
the year 2000.
The counts for each line hi Table D were obtained from the 'Employees Reporting of Work
Activity By Laboratory' report.
The Number of Respondents represents the employees at each site who completed the survey.
Full Tune Employees represents the number of workyears at each site (comparable to number
of employees except in a few instances with part-time employees).
For Regional ESDs, the workforce analysis covers only the portion of employees designated
as Laboratory, Field, or Quality Assurance, including the management of those FTEs. This
excludes the programmatic functions such as Emergency Response, or removal for Superfund,
etc.

Funding Sources
Issue-Based Planning Process is the predominant source of funding
Facility/Equipment Issues
Current facilities are variably adequate; most deficiencies would be corrected by the planned new
building. Current problems include split-up of groups among several buildings, inadequate
electrical service, no outdoor facility for monitoring instrumentation, need for a new facility for
long-path infrared measurement program.
Equipment generally adequate, but there is a need for additional analytical equipment (LC-Mass
Spec, others) in order to meet demand for measurement of air toxics. Low-level mobile sources
emissions are beyond the competence of current equipment.
Equipment and facilities would require very substantial upgrade to support the full research
program assigned to this laboratory. The lack of professional staff brought about by limitations on
government FTEs and contractor support limits the utility of existing sophisticated equipment and
makes acquisition of new and better equipment insupportable.
Locational Issues
- Collocation with other research laboratories is critical to the mission of AREAL.
Proximity to several universities permits an active cooperative research program, access to
graduate student labor, and continuing educational opportunities for AREAL staff.
Distinguishing Characteristics
- AREAL may suffer extraordinary losses to regular or early retirements over the next several years.
As many as 50 percent of all professional staff may be eligible for early retirement options
immediately, if offered. The scientific staff is generally very senior, and a number of highly-
respected scientists, with expertise unique to the agency, have no younger colleagues to continue
their work.

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory (EMSL/LV)
Location: 944 E. Harmon
Las Vegas, NV 89119
Director: Dr. Wayne N. Marchant
Telephone Numbers: (702) 798-2100
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development
Office of Modeling, Monitoring Systems, and Quality Assurance
Missions and Activities
Perform basic and applied research on the measurement and monitoring of man-made and naturally
occurring pollutants in all parts of the environment. Areas include the following:
Advanced monitoring methods, multimedia
Terrestrial ecology and assessment
Human exposure assessment methods and models
Advanced analytical chemistry methods
Immunochemical methods, including personal exposure monitoring, field and lab analytical
methods
Remote sensing
Environmental photographic interpretation to characterize waste site activities and evaluating
the status or change in ecological resources
Evaluation of remote-sensing equipment, assets, data sources, and methods
Information science, including GIS
Statistics
Quality assurance methods
Environmental radiation monitoring and assessment
Transfer laboratory discoveries into products and applications
Products
Publications in the peer-reviewed literature
- Internal reports to the program offices
- Site-specific aerial photographic interpretations (150*200 reports per year)
Continuing generation of data (and assessments) on radiation levels and exposures relating to
Nevada Test Site
Technical workshops
A-EMSL/LV-1
-------
Ecological field studies and quality assurance on field studies
Software related to laboratory competencies, e.g., GeoEas geostatistics software, current
development of expert system for site characterization
Emergency response field and laboratory studies
Customers
Department of Energy (radiation monitoring and assessment, and other)
Issue-Based Planning (15 of 40+ issues)
- EMAP
Office of Information Resources Management
- Office of Water
Superfund program office
RCRA program office
Regions
Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
- NASA
Native American governments
State and local governments
Federal Agencies: Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service, and U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation (SCS)
Funding Sources
Projects through participation in 15 Issues
AC&C and Superfund funding from the Regions for Technical Assistance
Programs Offices: AC&C and Superfund funding for Technical Assistance
- Department of Energy: average $5 million per year (radiation monitoring and assessment); and
about $300,000 (other support),
Facility/Equipment Issues
EMSL/LV will move from current facilities on University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) campus
to a new leased facility (not selected):
May negotiate with UNLV to retain lease on facility containing specialized whole body
exposure radiation counter (very non-portable item)
May contract out current in-house photo lab functions
Generally adequate equipment to perform current roles, with reasonable expectation of obtaining
replacement equipment as required
Locational Issues
Location is very favorable for Western U.S. studies, with easy accessibility.
A-EMSL/LV-2
-------
Current location on UNLV campus is a great advantage, as reflected in working and teaching
cooperation with UNLV professors. In addition, the laboratory is located very near the Desert
Research institute, which is an arm of the University. The nearby Harry Reid Center performs
biological and ecological research with heavy EPA support.
- The split of EPIC between Virginia and Las Vegas is difficult to manage. There are countervailing
advantages to splitting the eastern and western work among the two regional work centers,
however. The location at Vint Hill Farms, Virginia permits close work with classified assets and
with headquarters components of other federal agencies.
- The laboratory has three 56kB lines to Research Triangle Park to support heavy data transmissions.
Geographic location is essential to carrying out EMSL/LV mission to support Department of
Energy programs at the Nevada Test Site.
Distinguishing Characteristics
This laboratory originated with the program to monitor and assess radioactive exposures associated
with the Nevada Test Site, and a sizable contingent (58 staff) is fully committed to this activity.
Collocated staff from other federal agencies working at the laboratory on joint federal programs
include personnel from EPA, SCS, BLM, COE, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
- Management and personnel resources tend to be "spread thin" by the diversity of programs and
roles performed in the laboratory.
- Remote sensing technical assistance to the regions is managed by work assignment managers
(WAMs)—1 or 2 regions per person^-and each region has a Remote Sensing Coordinator (a non-
ORD EPA staff person) whose job it is to assist regional personnel to define and fund direct
laboratory support of that type.
EMSL/LV could be heavily impacted by early retirements, as most scientists are very senior.

-------
Generally adequate equipment to. perform current roles, with reasonable expectation of obtaining
replacement equipment as required
The split of EPIC between Virginia and Las Vegas is difficult to manage. There are countervailing
advantages to splitting the eastern and western work .among the two regional work centers,
however. The location at Vint Hill Farms.s Virginia permits close work with classified assets and
with headquarters components of other federal agencies.
This, laboratory- is very service- and product-oriented, with research role diminishing.
- Remote sensing technical .assistance to the. regions is managed, by work assignment managers
(WAMs)-^-l or 2 regions per person—and each region, has a Remote. Sensing Coordinator (a non-
ORD EPA staff person) whose job it is to. assist regional personnel to define and fond direct
laboratory support of that type.
Laboratory makes heavy use of contractors for rapid-response data acquisition, and for analysis
and preparation- of site characterization reports. Contract size was reduced recently upon .
recompetition from 60 on-site contractor staff to about 15.
- Limitations on .new FTEs have -inhibited efforts, to expand current customer base.

Funding Sources
Primary:
R&D funds (Allocated through issue-based planning process)
Other:
Specific funding for special projects (Superfund, OPP)
Facility/Equipment Issues
The main facility (Breidenbach Research Center) was designed as a research facility and is
moderately good shape. A current conditions assessment was conducted as part of the OARM/FMSD
master planning project. Some deficiencies were found, but in general the building is adequate for its
intended purpose.
A-EMSL/CIN-2
-------
One finding of the space assessment was that due to limited office space in the Center, many
potential laboratory spaces are currently being used for office space. Early plans had called for an
office building annex to the main facility. If constructed, this annex would allow conversion of office
spaces back to their originally intended use as laboratory modules.
Another finding, that was also mentioned by interviewees was that storage space for laboratory
equipment is very limited. In some cases, equipment is stored in halls outside of laboratory spaces.
The researchers don't want to storage sensitive scientific equipment in general storage facilities due to
the potential for damage.
Interviewees indicated that equipment, in general, is reasonably adequate for their needs with a few
exceptions. They feel that the current capital equipment committee process is reasonably responsive to
their needs.
The Research Containment Facility appears to be under utilized.
Locational Issues
• Advantages of current location:
- Close access to educational institutions (University of Cincinnati)
- Heavy concentration of related industries in immediate area
- Multiple organizations under one roof, allows interaction
- Facilities are EPA-owned and designed for research
• Disadvantages of current location:
- Site security is somewhat of an issue, mainly in parking areas at night. Facility located in
urban area with no site access controls.
Distinguishing Characteristics
• Leader in water analysis research, particularly chemical and biological drinking water
analysis techniques, immunoassay techniques, and ecological monitoring techniques.
• Nationally recognized staff in water chemical and biological analysis.
• Primary EPA pathogenic emergency response resource for nation.
• Facilities EPA-owned and specifically designed for laboratory research.
• Unique containment facilities for high-hazard research and analysis, both chemical and
biological.
Special Facilities
• Research Containment Facility
- Approximately 7500 sq. ft.
- Designed for handling and analysis of high-hazard materials and samples
A-EMSL/CIN-3
-------
• Pathogenic Containment Suite
- Approximately 3000 sq. ft. of biological containment laboratory space
- Designed for working with highly infectious microbiological agents
• Animal Facility
- Approximately 12,000 net sq. ft. of animal housing and exposure facilities
- Designed to handle a variety of species

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory (AEERL)
Location: Research Triangle Park, NC 27711
Director: Mr. Frank T. Princiotta
Telephone Number: (919) 541-2821
Office Affiliation. Office of Research and Development
Office of Environmental Engineering and Technology Demonstration
Mission and Activities
The mission of AEERL is to research, develop, and demonstrate pollution prevention approaches
and control technologies for air pollutants emitted from stationary sources and to provide methods
to estimate emissions from these sources. Among these stationary sources are electric power plants,
manufacturing and processing industries, and incinerators. The laboratory does not deal with
pollution from nuclear power plants or controls for mobile sources.
Staffed primarily by engineers, the laboratory creates and improves air pollution control
equipment, seeks means of preventing or reducing pollution through product substitution or
changes in industrial processes, develops predictive models and emissions estimation
methodologies, identifies and assesses the importance of air pollution sources, and conducts
fundamental research to define the mechanisms by which processes, equipment, and fuel
combustion produce air pollution.
Currently, AEERL is concentrating its efforts in eight main program areas:
Acid Rain: This program focuses on developing innovative controls for acid rain precursors, SO2
and NOX, including innovative sorbent injection approaches such as the Limestone Injection
Multistage Burner (LIMB) and ADVACATE (advanced silicate); developing models that will
identify the best possible control alternatives for various scenarios; and emissions projection
modeling.
Air Toxics: Emphasis is placed on developing technologies and pollution prevention approaches to
reduce emissions of air toxics regulated under Title in of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments;
identifying sources and developing urban inventories of air toxics; developing improved designs
that will achieve better control of toxic woodstove emissions; and providing direct technical
assistance to state and local agencies through the Control Technology Center, which has extensive
information on existing technologies applicable to a variety of air pollution sources.
Hazardous Wastes: The primary goal of this program is to study the fundamental combustion
mechanisms that influence thermal destruction of hazardous wastes. Included are studies of metal
aerosols from waste incineration, failure modes in a small pilot-scale rotary kiln, and small pilot-
scale studies of fluidized-bed incineration.
A-AEERL-1
-------
Indoor Air Quality/Radon: Research is currently concentrating on (1) developing and
demonstrating technologies to reduce the entry of naturally occurring radon into houses, schools,
and other public buildings, (2) fundamental studies of processes that influence radon entry,
(3) studying building materials and consumer products as sources of indoor air pollution, and
(4) evaluating approaches to prevent or control indoor air pollutants including biocontaminants.
Municipal Waste Combustion: Work focuses on evaluating techniques to minimize pollutant
formation during combustion and determining the effectiveness of various devices in controlling
air pollution from municipal waste incinerators.
Ozone Non-Attainment: This program supports ORD's overall ozone nonattainment strategy by
developing innovative NOX and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) control technologies,
improving existing technologies, enhancing and developing emissions estimation methodologies,
and developing pollution prevention approaches for VOC's and other ozone precursors.
Stratospheric Ozone: In cooperation with industry, AEERL evaluates, identifies, and demonstrates
the viability of substitute compounds and technologies that will replace ozone-depleting substances
now in use. The current emphasis of the program is to evaluate alternatives for existing
refrigeration (commercial and residential) and space-cooling systems (heat pumps, chillers); to
identify replacements for halons used in fire suppression systems and evaluate replacements for
insulation systems. In addition, research is under way to evaluate destruction approaches for CFCs
and other ozone-depleting substances.
Global Climate Change: This program is evaluating mitigation and prevention options for
greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide). Emphasis is on reducing methane
emissions by using them as a feedgas to power fuel cell and innovative biomass utilization
approaches. In addition, emission factors for key greenhouse gas sources are being enhanced and
software (GloED) is under development to serve as the international repository for greenhouse gas
emissions data.
Products
AEERL conducts applied research directed to the solution of defined problems related to air
emissions using new processes, procedures, methodologies, or situations that serve a practical
purpose. The research can evolve into development of new processes, techniques, or equipment
that can be brought to production or application.
AEERL publishes peer-reviewed technical reports documenting technology development and
application studies, development of pollutant fate-and-transport models, integration and evaluation
of information relevant to assessing risk from air pollutants, and the development of new
monitoring methods. The reports are distributed by the Government Printing Office and NTIS.
Technical findings are also published in peer-reviewed journal articles and presented at technical
symposia. Information is distributed through the Control Technology Center.
Several AEERL research projects have led to patents. These inventions are offered for license or
development through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs). Revenues
generated by such agreements were approximately $50,000 last year.
A-AEERL-2
-------
Short-term projects, typically of one-year duration, are usually conducted in response to program
office requests. Longer-term projects are initiated by AEERL in anticipation of regulatory
involvement in areas where problems are not well defined and no solutions exist. Long-term work
initiated by AEERL constitutes approximately 2/3 of the laboratory's workload.
Customers
Primary client is the Office or Air and Radiation (OAR)
OAQPS provides 25 percent of support
ORIA and OAP also provide support
- Other Clients
Program offices such as OPPE, OSWER, OPPT, OIA
EPA regional offices
State air pollution control agencies
Municipal governments
Other federal agencies, such as DOD and DOE, and Congress
Private sector organizations such as equipment vendors, professional associations, and
industries regulated by EPA
AEERL works with other RTP labs, such as AREAL and HERL, to integrate products
- Some work is procured through competitive processes such as the Strategic Environmental R&D
Program with DOD, and research with the Illinois Coal Research Program.
Funding Sources
- 2/3 of funding from ORD
1/3 of funding from resources outside ORD
Facility/Equipment Issues
Equipment for combustion and flue gas cleaning research and development
A multifuel combustor capable of burning municipal solid waste, biomass, and coal
Laboratories capable of analyzing for dioxins, organics, and inorganics
Flue gas cleaning pilot plants employing several technologies
AEERL has a RCRA-perrnitted facility with an air pollution control system downstream of
five research combustors, which include a rotary kiln simulator, a horizontal tunnel furnace,
a fluidized bed combustor, a boiler simulator, and a commercial package boiler.

A refrigeration laboratory to evaluate performance of alternative refrigerants in supermarket
cases, refrigerator freezers, and prototype equipment
A new laboratory facility is scheduled to begin construction in late 1995 to provide additional
space and utilities suitable for pilot and industrial applications.
Presently no facilities or equipment shortages exist due to understaffing at AEERL
Locational Issues
The location enhances the ability to hire qualified applicants.
No disadvantages exist for the present location.
North Carolina has been willing to negotiate permit conditions, thereby facilitating the permitting
process.
Distinguishing Characteristics
AEERL offers a unique combination of research facilities that enhance efficient interdisciplinary
research. Several of the facilities have been copied at other private and public research institutions.
Because of extensive contact with industry academic experts in air pollution, and AEERL's
experience with applied research, they are able to provide the long-range planning necessary for
regulatory development while also providing regulatory support to program offices.
- AEERL holds between 30 and 50 percent of EPA patents
AEERL has instituted a performance-review process where subordinates evaluate their manager's
performance. This review is part of extensive peer-review program that involves AEERL personnel
and outside experts reviewing projects at the planning stage and when a final report is issued.
Lack of funding inhibits R&D projects. The present AEERL staff can accommodate 50 percent
higher funding, and on-site contractors can accommodate 75 to 100 percent higher funding.

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory: Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL)
Location: 26 W. St. Clair
Cincinnati, OH 45268
Director: Mr. E. Tim Oppelt
Telephone Number: (513) 569-7418
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development
Office of Environmenal Engineering and Technology Demonstration
Mission and Activities
The mission of the Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory is to advance the understanding,
development, and application of engineering approaches to the solution or prevention of
environmental problems that threaten human health and the environment.
This mission falls into three broad areas:
Catalyze the development of fundamental improvements and innovations in environmental
prevention and control technology
Conduct objective performance and cost assessments of innovative technology and accelerate
its broad acceptance and commercial use through technology transfer
Provide the scientific and engineering data needed to ensure that regulatory and policy
decisions have a high-quality technical foundation and promote efficiency and cost-
effectiveness in program implementation
Specific problem areas of focus are drinking water, industrial and municipal wastewater, hazardous
waste, site remediation, leaking underground storage tanks, and oil spills. Research development
and technical support are provided in the following specific areas of concern:
Treatment, distribution, and preservation of safe public drinking water supplies
Treatment, disposal, recycling, and minimization alternatives for hazardous wastes, municipal
solid wastes, and medical wastes
Technologies for remedial action at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and for corrective
action at existing hazardous waste facilities
Detection and remedial actions for leaking underground storage tank facilities
Alternatives for controlling the release of asbestos, existing and new chemicals in
manufacturing, and emissions from biotechnology operations
A-RREL-1
-------
Alternatives for remediation of oil spills
Engineering alternatives for disposal of cancelled and suspended pesticides and for
minimizing worker exposure to pesticides
Prevention, treatment, and control of municipal and industrial wastewater discharges,
sludges, and urban runoff pollution
Pollution prevention through industrial process change, product substitution, development of
clean products, and clean technology
Products
RREL conducts pilot scale and field studies to demonstrate technologies and to provide research
information for technology development. A broad range of technologies are tested and evaluated,
including those for site remediation, waste management, pollution prevention, and drinking water
treatment. RREL has several in-house facilities to conduct such studies and also performs studies
on location.
RREL manages technical activities of the SITE program. RREL distributes project results through
brochures, videotapes, fact sheets, presentations, visitor's days, and technical reports. As a result,
use of innovative technologies at Superfund sites is increasing, several demonstrated technologies
are now considered established, and industrial participants report increased revenues after
successful demonstration projects.
RREL provides technical assistance to industry and other government agencies, including state,
city, and local entities, other offices within EPA, and federal agencies other than EPA. RREL's
expertise is largely derived from the technology demonstrations and research activities.
Information from RREL activities that is distributed through CERI includes technical reports of
investigative projects, guidance documents, and manuals. RREL staff publishes extensively in the
open literature and participates in technical meetings and conferences. All documents prepared by
RREL are peer-reviewed.
RREL develops and distributes software containing technology databases and programs to estimate
the cost and performance of treatment and remedial technologies.
RREL conducts symposia and workshops to advance the development of pollution prevention,
waste and water treatment technologies, and site remediation techniques.
RREL has 12 active CRADAs, 8 pending CRADAs, 1 existing licensing agreement, and 3 pending
licensing agreements,
All activities supported by RREL that involve data gathering, data generation, or measurement are
subject to RREL's quality assurance program which includes reviews of QAPPs and final reports,
audits, and training, among other activities. In 1992, RREL reviewed more than 200 QAPPs and
audited approximately SO technical projects. RREL shares their QA experiences through
conference presentations, workshops, and technical assistance documents targeted to QA issues.
A-RREL-2
-------
- RREL has 11 level-of-effort contracts in place, with 144 work assignments issued. In addition,
95 active cooperative agreements and 24 interagency agreements are in place.

Facility/Equipment Issues
Several facilities exist to conduct pilot scale tests and demonstrations.
Drinking water treatment test facilities are located in the headquarters building and mobile
treatment units are based at the building.
The Center Hill test facility owned by the University of Cincinnati is used to test
stabilization and solidification techniques and other soil remediation technologies. Analytical
and geotechnical testing laboratories are present on-site.
The Test and Evaluation high bay facility collocated with the city's Mill Creek Sewage
Treatment Plant is used to evaluate new technologies for treating hazardous and municipal
wastes. The facility is RCRA-permitted.
The incineration test facility located in Jefferson, Arkansas is the only RCRA-permitted pilot
scale incinerator in operation. Pilot and bench scale studies evaluate thermal treatment
conditions necessary for hazardous material destruction and the air pollution control
equipment capable of controlling emissions.
The facilities at Edison, New Jersey are used to evaluate underground storage tank test
apparatus and to blend soils for treatability tests.
The Center Hill facility is transitioning from a contractor-operated to a government-operated
facility. The lack of staff is hindering project implementation, so the facility is presently
underutilized.
A-RREL-3
-------
The Test and Evaluation facility is not operating at full capacity due to staffing and funding
shortages.
The incineration facility is operating fulMime with projects supported by EPA regional offices,
Superfund, DOD, and DOE.
Location Issues
Cincinnati enhances the ability to attract employees. Air service is convenient.
Location next to the University of Cincinnati enhances the use of cooperative agreements to
employ graduate students. Many of RREL staff serve as adjunct professors. The University of
Cincinnati has the largest environmental engineering department in the United States.
- RREL has ties with local universities including the University of Dayton, Xavier, Wright State,
and Ohio State.
The large number of unique federally owned facilities in Cincinnati are convenient. Collocation
with other laboratories in the headquarters building is beneficial to RREL's program. The location
of test facilities in industrial areas enhances their operation and is more appropriate than a central
location.
The remote location of the incineration test facility facilitates operation because of the lack of
public opposition.
Industry is using EPA test facilities on a rental basis and RREL is promoting such use.
Distinguishing Characteristics
- RREL is developing the routine use of teamwork to enhance response to changing environmental
priorities, customer needs, and recommendations for streamlining government. Developing
functional teams is expected to require three to four years.
RREL is evaluating three options for reorganization which would achieve a flatter organization, to
empower employees, and to streamline administration:
Retain current organizational structure, but flatten it through attrition to attain the desired
employee/manager ratio of 11 to 1. Total 20 management positions would be eliminated.
RREL has a relatively senior staff—29 employees eligible to retire now, and 60 could retire
in 3 to 5 years. If retirement age is lowered to 50, half the 229 FTEs would be eligible.
Reorganize on functional basis, such as field demonstrations or pilot plant operations.
Although programs have changed at RREL, functions performed by the laboratory remain
relatively constant. RREL is the first EPA laboratory to issue functionally based contracts.
Reorganize on a program-oriented structure to respond directly to EPA program offices.
A-RREL-4
-------
QA and QC receive very strong emphasis at RREL. Three FTEs are allocated to QA and
three contract firms receive $800,000 annually for QA functions.
Many projects are conducted jointly with DOD and DOE.
RREL has developed a model to estimate the extramural workload based on the amount of project
officer time available to produce high-quality, timely outputs. The model factors the time required
for in-house research that is necessary to maintain expertise in RREL's functional areas.

regarding separation, extraction, and material handling
Participation on a Quality Action Team with SHEMD to develop specifications and design criteria
for a new mobile analytical laboratory
Preparation of a handbook on "Selecting Remediation Techniques for Contaminated Sediment" for
the Office of Water based on experience with Superfund technologies (The report has been widely
distributed.)
Completion of a series of pilot-scale soil-washing experiments for the Department of Defense
(under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program [SERDP]) using the VRU
(The two-week project was performed at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, DE. Dover AFB is
assessing many options for cleaning up extensive jet fuel contamination at the base and wanted to
know the potential effectiveness of soil washing.)
For oil spill chemical countermeasures, evaluation of laboratory effectiveness tests, development of
pass-fail criteria, preparation of a state-of-the-art study establishing the technical rational for a
change in the regulatory approach.
Investigation of innovative technologies to assist OUST in providing technical assistance and
decision tools in cleanup action for LUST Trust Fund program guidance and implementation.
Development of reliable method to detect/locate leaks in pressurized pipelines. Research is ongoing
into acoustic technology for rapid, near-real-time lead detection/location in pressurized pipelines.
- Technical and quality assurance/quality control support to EPA regions and states for the planning,
design, and field evaluation of selected innovative technologies through analysis of field
demonstration projects being conducted in EPA Region 2, 3, and 5.

- Research on improved corrective action product-removal techniques for light nonaqueous-phase
liquids and ex-situ treatment technologies.
A-RCB-2
-------
Conduct of a system integrity program (leak prevention, detection, and location) structured to
specifically satisfy the compliance needs of the regulated community; e.g., large tanks, USTs
containing chemicals, double-walled tanks and pipelines, etc.
- Technical support to the American Society of Testing and Material's Steering Committee on UST
Upgrading Practices for the development of a standard practice for the use of innovative inspection
methods to assess the integrity of UST systems prior to upgrading with cathodic protection. This
will include testing the proposed standard inspection practice in the field and evaluation of the
reliability and performance of the inspection techniques.
Conduct of research in volumetric leak detection in support of tank testing and evaluation of leak
detection systems used by industry and equipment manufacturers.
- Dissemination of information through publications, Experts Workshops, seminars, conferences,
videos, state and regional technical assistance, participation in professional society steering
committees, and training programs. This includes the computerized On-Line Information System
(COLIS). Colis is an information system comprised of databases that contain case histories*
treatability data on alternative treatment technologies, technical information from the SITE
program, and a library system for retrieval of technical publications.

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Environmental Research Laboratory (ERL/GB)
Location: Sabine Island
Gulf Breeze, Florida
Director: Dr. Robert E. Menzer
Telephone Number: (904) 934-9208
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development
Office of Environmental Processes and Effects Research
Missions and Activities
Monitor and assess the ecological condition and contaminant/stressor status of estuaries, coastal
wetlands, bays, and coral reefs and evaluate the causes of changes
Develop biological/ecological indicators to classify ecological status of the above, detect significant
changes in ecological status, and identify causes of the change
Compare ecological structure and function to predict relationships between chemicals/stressors and
changes in biodiversity and ecological function
Predict ecological responses of estuaries, bays, and coastal wetlands to single and multiple stresses
using procedures developed for ecological risk assessment
Develop microbiological strategies to degrade toxic pollutants in a variety of habitats and evaluate
their effectiveness as alternative bioremediation methods
Develop a comprehensive multimedia understanding of molecular microbial ecology to assess the
risk of introducing genetically altered organisms into the environment
Products
- Publications in peer-reviewed literature
Internal reports to Program Offices
National and international patents related to bioremediation of toxic chemicals in the environment
- Technical support to EPA, other federal and state agencies, and to local organizations and
individuals

- Private sector, through license agreements for patents, including SBP, EICON, and EMCON
Funding Sources
Issue-Based Planning is the predominant source of R&D funding:
Major Issues: Aquatic Ecocriteria, Ecological Risk Assessment, Biotechnology, Bioremediation,
EMAP, Infrastructure
Minor Issue: Wetlands, Coastal and Marine, Global Climate Change
Facility/Equipment Issues
- Three main laboratory buildings are less than 20 years old and are state of the art for toxicology,
histology, and microbiology studies. These laboratories account for 30,620 sq. ft. of quality space.
Three small laboratories (3,324 sq. ft.) are dated but are effectively used for toxicology studies.
- The Marine Environmental Assessment building houses a histology research laboratory that is
unequalled for this purpose in the nation. There are numerous light microscopes plus a new
transmission electron microscope. There is also a new scanning electron microscope, as well as the
needed equipment for preparing material for viewing. Cost of this equipment exceeds $1 million.
The Marine Toxicology and Chemistry Laboratory has state-of-the-art equipment and design for
static and flow-through toxicity tests. A recently renovated fresh and salt water supply system
provides a support system that is unequalled anywhere in both control capability and capacity.
Two other major Gulf Coast laboratories use this facility as a source of research waters. Two
additional major renovations are funded for FY95: a hazardous waste treatment system and the
chemistry support section of the building.
The recently constructed Environmental Microbiology Building, in design and equipment, is state
of the art for microbial ecology and chemistry research.
A-ERL/GB-2
-------
There are numerous buildings that serve as office and storage space and research support. Many of
these buildings are energy-inefficient and costly to maintain. Office space is inadequate.
- Ability to obtain needed equipment in a timely manner is poor.
Locational Issues
- Proximity to Gulf of Mexico is excellent for studying warm water estuarine/marine biology.
Location is helpful for participation in Gulf of Mexico Program.
70-75% of U.S. drainage is into the Gulf (much of it via Mississippi River)
Industrial presence along Mississippi River and in Louisiana affects coastal wetlands and
estuaries
Rapidly growing populations in the coastal zones of Florida puts great pressure on estuarine
environments
Distance from headquarters is a disadvantage in visibility of staff and communication with
Program Offices and decision makers.
Potential for new oil field production in Gulf waters and related activities may create new
environmental challenges to the Gulf of Mexico.
Distinguishing Characteristics
- Research laboratories for toxicology, histology, and microbiology studies are state of the art both
in design and in support systems and equipment.
Agency-wide Diver Training Center includes certification program for training divers in scientific
diving techniques and contaminated water diving.
Fleet of vessels exists for conducting both inshore and nearshore research and monitoring.
Ecotoxicology, microbial ecology, pathology, and organic and inorganic chemistry programs,
facilities, equipment, and expert staff allow multifaceted approach for solving complex
environmental issues.
Facility comprises numerous old or temporary buildings. A master plan is being implemented to
upgrade the research facilities by renovating old buildings and replacing the temporary ones. Most
laboratory facilities have been upgraded to state-of-the-art, although the offices are still inadequate.

Major issues concerning fundamental research mission:
- Restrictions on contracts and cooperative agreements have greatly curtailed ability of ORD
scientist to collaborate and interact with external scientific community. This makes it harder to
attract and keep good scientists and to maintain a credible research program.
A-ERL/ATH-1
-------
Funding instability has led to broken commitments to the academic community in general and
especially postdoctoral researchers, undermining credibility of EPA in scientific community.
ORD frequently perceived in the outside world as functioning to vindicate EPA policies and
programs after the fact rather than leading and guiding their development in an unbiased manner.
Short-term shifts in program emphasis coming from Headquarters make it difficult to maintain a
credible research program over the long term.
ORD is perceived as not having a clear corporate mission—staff don't know who they are or
should be, or what the Agency expects of them.
Laboratory perceives its major mission as performing basic research to identify and rank current
environmental problems and to reveal those on the horizon in order to serve as the basis for (rather
than a reaction to) policy development. Some portion of the basic research budget should be
immune to short-term priority shifting.
Laboratory also perceives need for short-term, application-directed research, both to assist the
regions (ESOs), states, media offices, and other organizations in their missions and to keep
connected with the "real world." Some well-defined, integrated mix of these two would be best,
rather than choosing one over the other.
Products
Fundamental and applied research reported in journal articles and other publications
Handbooks, books, chapters, guidebooks
Environmental modeling software, including users' manuals and maintenance
Assessments and management/remediation strategies
- Consultation on technical issues and policy development
- Review and evaluation of scientific results
Service on regulatory workgroups and as expert witnesses
- Environmental education materials
Customers
Paying:
Regions
Army
Air Force
- DOD
States (e.g., California)
- NASA
Industries (CRADAs)- Headquarters Program Offices (Air, Water, Pesticides and Toxics, Solid
Waste, Oil Spill, Superfund): major source of funding through ORD
Non-paying:
Regulated community
A-ERL/ATH-2
-------
- Environmental consultants
Regional Waste Management Program Divisions
- Policy Office (OPPE)
- Other federal agencies (DOJ, FDA, NOAA, USDA, DOFFish & Wildlife)
- Foreign governments
- Other ORD labs
- BSD labs
Office of Environmental Education
Funding Sources
Small amount of direct funding from Program Offices and Regions
From other paying clients (DOD, etc.) via interagency agreements, CRADAs, etc.
- Direct funding from ORD Headquarters (R&D budget appropriations administered at laboratory
level)
Facility/Equipment Issues
- Tight space situation, should improve when BSD moves to own lab (scheduled for 1995)
28-year-old federally owned facility, has been periodically upgraded and maintained in reasonably
good condition; master facility plan submitted
In-house staff renovates/maintains physical plant; seen as advantageous relative to contractors due
to costs and historical knowledge of maintenance staff and specialized nature of some renovations
to support research activities
Biggest facility needs: up-to-date climate control, substandard utilities, fume hoods
Equipment is generally state of the art or close to it
You can generally get what you need, but it may take a while (up to three years)
Equipment maintenance is a problem; prefer government employees with years of experience to
maintain
Fluctuating programmatic support sometimes makes it difficult to get, keep, and maintain
equipment
Need more in area of scientific visualization (workstations): not on GSA list, so hard to procure
Locational Issues
Long list of nearby top-notch institutions (UGa, USDA, ESD lab, etc.); many important research
connections/collaborations with these institutions, but hard to maintain them for some given
assistance agreement restrictions
A-ERL/ATH-3
-------
Low cost of living allows lab to attract good people at government salary
Better to disperse research labs evenly across country (provides EPA presence)
Site offers unique opportunity for lab expansion/consolidation (USDA now downsizing in large
laboratory building on same campus)
Atlantic/southeast is a research orientation, but research sites are generalizable; many lab activities
are not dependent on geographic location
Monumental growth of 1-85 corridor could be a good subject for studying regional environmental
impact of land use/water use changes
Distinguishing Characteristics
Internationally recognized center of excellence for pollutant fate and environmental modeling
- Laboratory is located in Atlanta area, which is predicted to enjoy high long-term growth and
urbanization. This offers unique opportunity to evaluate and mitigate adverse effect of changes.
Laboratory has developed a child development center on site. Presently used for staff and public
child care, expected to also include elderly. This is a unique community relationship.
Laboratory is part of a regional academic and federal R&D community consistently ranked among
the nation's leading institutions (e.g., UGa, GA Tech, Oak Ridge, Emory, Clemson, USDA/ARS,
FS)
Center for Exposure Assessment Modeling continues developing, documenting, and distributing
software models for outside community and serves as a resource for users.
Athens is already using multidisciplinary team concepts in research projects, with planning and
accounting down to task level. Teams and team leaders have maximum range of authority for
implementation and budget control, with accountability.

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Large Lakes Research Station (LLRS)
Location: 9311 Groh Road
Grosselle, MI 48138
Director: Mr. William L. Richardson (Station Chief)
Telephone Number: (313) 692-7611
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development, ERL-Duluth
Missions and Activities
Develop technology of known certainty for predicting and assessing the effects of pollutant and
polluting actions of freshwater resources, particularly large lakes and rivers, with primary focus on
the Great Lakes watershed
Provide a scientific basis for regulatory decisions related to improving and maintaining the health
and quality of the Great Lakes ecosystem
Develop, calibrate, and apply mathematical models for the large lakes and rivers ecosystems and
watersheds with focus on the Great Lakes and connecting channels
Develop appropriate field, chemical, and biological methodologies for analyzing Great Lakes
water, sediment, and biological samples for use in calibrating and validating mathematical models
Working with program offices, regional offices, and state and local agencies in a team approach,
apply models of specific geographical sites and ecosystems in order to provide decision support
and transfer of technology
Products
Green Bay/Fox River Mass Balance Study
Numerous publications on phytoplankton, contaminants, and modeling of the Great Lakes from
staff and from recipients of grants and cooperative agreements

Facility/Equipment Issues
- Almost all work at the station involves modelling, and better computers arc needed.
Lab is located in rebuilt World War n warehouse, converted in 197Q.
- The contractor has all the laboratory space.
Have one clean room, need another.
Security is needed for a site on the shore.
- The Master Plan provides statement of priorities and a clear sequence for addressing the problems.
Lab seldom uses Bay City facilities because of their limited availability (perception that AREAL
has saturated computer).
Locational Issues
Lab feels isolated from Duluth; Chicago is easier to get to.
Financial management and staffing determinations come from Duluth.
Modelling could be done anywhere, but sampling to validate models needs to be carried out in
Great Lakes.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Seven EPA staff (Region 5 also has staff stationed at this facility.)

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Robert S. Kerr Environmental Laboratory (RSKERL)
Location: 919 Kerr Research Drive, P. O. Box 1198
Ada, Oklahoma 74820
Director: Mr. Clinton W. Hall
Telephone Number: (405)436-8511
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development
Office of Environmental Processes and Effects Research
Missions and Activities
Advance the scientific understanding of the behavior of contaminants introduced to the subsurface
Support EPA's three primary responsibilities in protection of groundwater quality
Control sources of groundwater contamination
Evaluate risk or damage associated with a contamination event that has already occurred
Determine need for and conduct remedial action
Develop a thorough understanding of the hydrologic, abiotic, and biotic processes that control the
transport and transformation of contaminants in the subsurface environment
Determine the fate, transport, and transformation rates and mechanisms of pollutants in the
subsurface environment, including both the unsaturated soil profiles and the saturated zones
Define processes for characterizing the subsurface environment as a receptor of pollutants
Develop techniques for predicting effects of pollutants on groundwater, soil, and indigenous
organisms
- Define and demonstrate methods and technologies for protection and remediation of soil,
groundwater, and aquifer systems
Products
RSKERL publishes detailed technical reports, brief technology transfer summaries, user manuals,
computer codes, research briefs, and scientific journal articles. Staff members also present research
results at national and international meetings for both scientific and lay audiences.
- RSKERL operates three technical information and assistance centers: the Center for Subsurface
Modeling Support, the Superfund Remediation Technologies Data Base, and the Ground Water
Remediation Technologies Analysis Center.
A-RSKERL-1
-------
RSKERL distributes most of its own products through the Technology Support Center. Records
maintained on requests for products also indicate that RSKERL products are meeting
client/customer needs.
- Through the RSKERL Technology Support Center, RSKERL conducts an extensive training and
technology transfer program across the nation in concert with CERI and the Superfund University
Training Institute. The Technology Support Center provides a high level of direct technical
assistance to EPA, the states, and the public.

Locational Issues
RSKERL is only existing federal environmental research laboratory in the central United States.
- RSKERL has field research sites throughout the United States. Its central location facilitates the
movement of equipment and staff in all directions.
Being somewhat removed from the center of population is conducive to research with more
hazardous materials and the addition of a total containment facility, if needed.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
- No other EPA or non-EPA laboratory conducts comparable or analogous activities. There are
laboratories that have strong programs in limited areas, such as remediation, but RSKERL is the
only groundwater research laboratory in the world that is conducting a program with such breadth
and quality. RSKERL is able to carry out this program because it has a highly qualified scientific
staff that encompasses all the technical disciplines needed for groundwater research the ingredient
that other laboratories lack.
RSKERL has subsurface drilling and sampling equipment that supports field research projects for
numerous researchers outside EPA. The lab has the shop facilities and equipment available to
design and fabricate any specialized equipment needed for sampling the subsurface environment.
Equipment is available to acquire aseptic and anaerobic samples in the field.
In conjunction with East Central University, RSKERL provides downhole logging and bonding
tool testing utilizing eight research wells. The laboratory has permanently installed soil lysimeters
to do surface studies.
Two large simulated aquifers have been constructed to perform fate and transport studies for both
in-house and outside researchers. These aquifers are groundwater-fed and maintained in an
environmentally controlled room.
RSKERL is one of a few EPA labs with supercritical fluid extraction and high-resolution GC/FTER
equipment. Groundwater modeling center and GIS capability are unique to the Agency.

Major source is ORD
Pacific Northwest Ecosystems initiative brought in new money
- Used to get significant resources from the states, regions, and HQ program office for regional
ecological studies
Facility/Equipment Issues
Main laboratory building completed in 1966
Unique chambers for determining effects of atmospheric pollutants and climate change
UNIX-based network of computer work stations provides capacity equivalent to supercomputer
Locational Issues
Close relationship with Oregon State University (OSU) and nearby research facilities of
U.S. Forest Service, National Biological Survey, Agricultural Research Service, and U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service
Uses OSU's supercomputer in preference to the EPA computer in Bay City (availability of OSU
computer is much better)
Not near any major airports
Scientists easily recruited in an area with a large (over 400) concentration of ecological scientists,
a major research university specializing in environmental sciences excellent K-12 schools, and an
attractive quality of life
Distinguishing Characteristics
Has a tradition of being more entrepreneurial than most other EPA laboratories
New program in Pacific Northwest ecosystems that came out of the spotted owl conference
Strong regional-scale, multimedia ecological orientation
Program linkage to Newport facility provides unique multimedia capability
Established as part of U.S. Public Health Service in 1963, laboratory transferred to EPA in 1970

Facility/Equipment Issues
Lab was built in 1990; equipment is state of the art.
Each lab area has the ability to discharge its waste to any of three possible effluent systems: acid
waste, marine outfall, or holding tank.
- All floor drains and laboratory cup sinks are connected to tanks in the pollution abatement facility,
which collects and treats lab's waste waters that require treatment.
There are eight constant temperature chambers for cultures and samples.
The Superfund room, a containment lab, houses an eight-foot chemical fume hood into which a
55-gallon drum can be placed for sampling, a series of ventilated cabinets with raw and filtered
marine water, process water, and effluent handling services, and a constant temperature room. The
exhaust from the entire room passes through a HEPA filter.
Excellent seawater system capable of providing continuous flow of high-quality, filtered seawater
at specified temperatures and salinity
Locational Issues
Located on campus of Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science Center—site of marine laboratory of
Oregon State University, including its extensive marine research library, Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality Marine Laboratory, NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Center's program on
Behavior of Marine Organisms
- Lab is located on the Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science Center complex, which also contains an
aquarium, museum, and research facilities of Oregon State University

Facility/Equipment Issues
Human inhalation facility at University of North Carolina is unique in the world, but is aging.
- Ability to obtain needed equipment in a timely manner is poor,
- The building that houses the laboratories was constructed as an office building:
The layout of the building is not efficient; the animal rooms are a long distance from many
of the laboratories
Many safety features have been retrofitted into the building, though not always effectively.
Shortly after MITRE's visit, a flood occurred due to failure in a pipe from the recently
installed fire protection system. The pipe carried high-pressure water; this failure resulted in
the flooding of labs on both the second and third floors and loss of over $1 million In
equipment.
Locations! Issues
Proximity to three major universities (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Duke; North
Carolina State) and several smaller colleges permits an active cooperative research program, access
to graduate student and post-doctoral trainees, and continuing educational opportunities.
New building at UNC under construction to house new state-of-the-art human inhalation facility;
EPA has a 20-year lease for the building
Proximity to other major research laboratories (e.g., Chemical Industries Institute of Toxicology;
Glaxo; Burroughs-Wellcome) allows ready interaction with other scientists by means of seminars,
lectures, and local professional meetings.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Human inhalation facilities (both currently used facility and the one being constructed) are unique
and have not been duplicated anywhere else in the world.
Unique location for both academic and industrial research is not likely to be found elsewhere.
Associate laboratory directors provide direct line of communication with program office at EPA
headquarters. This system helps keep science performed at laboratory focused on program office
needs and keep the program offices informed of laboratory results that are important to them.

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Human Health Assessment Group (HHAG)
Location: 401 M Street
Washington, DC 20460
Director: Dr. Hugh McKinnon
Telephone Number: (202) 260-5898
Administering Office: Office of Research and Development
Office of Health and Environmental Assessment
Missions and Activities
- Ensure integrity, scientific excellence, and progress in health risk assessment
- Provide a sound scientific basis for risk-based decisions
- Research to reduce uncertainty in risk assessment
Incorporate contemporary scientific knowledge into the risk assessment process
Products
Publications in peer-reviewed literature
Internal reports to Program Offices
- Risk Assessment Guideline documents
- Risk assessment guidance and risk communication training
- Technical support to EPA, other federal and state agencies, and to local organizations and
individuals
Customers
- Virtually every program office, national program, and regional office, as well as the SAB has been
attended to at some time during the past 12 months.
Funding Sources
- Issue-Based Planning is the predominant source of funding
Major Issues: Air Toxics, Lead and Other Metal, Infrastructure
Minor Issues: Health Risk Assessment Methods, Motor Vehicles Pollution, Drinking Water,
Hazardous Waste, Aquatic Ecology
A-HHAG-1
-------
Locational Issues
Proximity to Headquarters facilitates communication with Program Offices
Formal ties exist with local universities (Georgetown, George Washington; George Mason) by way
of adjunct professorships and individuals taking courses at night (no MOUs)
Distinguishing Characteristics
A high concentration of very skilled, knowledgeable scientists (GS-14s and GS-15s). Because the
leadership of much of the thought regarding risk assessment development is centered at this
location, the number of high-level scientists is appropriate.

Funding Sources:
- NEIC has its own program element in the EPA budget
Superfund provides support for individual cases and events
Office of Compliance Monitoring; Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances to
support pesticides and toxics programs
Facility/Equipment Issues:
- The NEIC has adequate equipment to performs its assigned role
- NEIC maintains a wider variety of equipment than most other EPA analytical laboratories because
it is the only laboratory in EPA that is primarily forensic in nature
A-NEIC-2
-------
NEIC requires more stringent security than most other EPA laboratories because it provides
technical support in criminal litigation
Locational Issues:
- Ease of recruitment/retention based on location
The Denver feferal reservation has 24-hour security patrols and is closed to the public outside of
normal business hours. Location on the federal reservation is thus a significant component of
NEIC's overall security
Located next to the Region 8 laboratory facility
Distinguishing Characteristics:
NEIC specializes in enforcement activities and resulting case development and prosecution
resulting in expertise in field, analytical, and case preparation and presentation methodologies.

State and local governments charged with preparing and implementing State Implementation Plans
Worldwide mobile sources testing community (foreign industrialized nations, state governments
with I/M programs)
Funding Sources:
- EPA allocations for Air & Radiation Programs
Fees charged for certification testing (not recovered by operating divisions)
Facility/Equipment Issues:
EPA/NVFEL faces a very critical equipment adequacy issue driven by the increased complexity of
the testing requirements for supporting the new emissions standards called for in the CAAA. New
tests, never before carried out, are now being developed to certify that fueling losses, evaporative
losses during the driving cycle, and CO generation during cold operation are within the new standards
for these emission sources. The required testing equipment and the cycle through which the vehicles
must move have both become very complex in order to reliably simulate the actual operating
environment of representative vehicles. Hence, time and funding are needed to develop the test cycles,
the procedures for testing, and the detailed measurement methods to be employed. Many of these new
standards will apply first to the 1998 model year (MY); at current funding rates, EPA/NVFEL is likely
not to have the test facilities and the necessary experience base in their use ready in time to certify the
MY 1998 vehicle fleet.
In the meanwhile, the automobile manufacturers must have in place a reliable surrogate for the test
procedure, facilities, and measurement methods it believes EPA will eventually implement in order that
vehicle development (especially engine and drive-train family) can proceed as it must, two-to-three
years ahead of the model year introduction. Because of EPA's lag in being able to develop and
demonstrate an approved test method and facilities, the auto manufacturers must, by default, take the
lead, albeit at some risk, in order to have a development testing capability in place.
EPA/NVFEL needs to have this one-time infusion of equipment capital ($30M over three years)
made available so EPA can recover its role of leadership in vehicle emissions testing technology

-------
definition. Failing this, EPA may have to revert to reacting to procedures developed by the
manufacturers on which basis they will have designed the vehicle fleet for a given model year.
Locations! Issues:
EPA/NVFEL benefits greatly from its location in the Detroit area close to the major automobile
manufacturers. The non-U.S. manufacturers have already accommodated themselves to EPA/NVFEL's
location by building their emissions testing facilities in the Detroit area. Location far from the current
location would occasion the need for far greater transportation costs for moving vehicles for
certification testing into EPA's Lab. The interaction between EPA/NVFEL and the manufacturers over
such developmental issues as correlating results from one test bed to another would be made far more
complex than at present.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Unique National Resources include:
Soaking facilities
Running lose test facility
State-of-the-art (48 inch diameter) automative dynamometer
Fuel testing facilities
Full vehicle certification of new and recall vehicles

Funding Sources:
OPPTS provides most of the lab's funding, including work for outside agencies
ORD funds the dioxin reassessment program
Office of Water funds water quality analyses
Facility/Equipment Issues:
Current facilities adequate for present and anticipated future needs
- Many advantages to collocation with NASA, other agencies at Stennis Space Center
- Most equipment is sufficient to meet current needs
Need to upgrade equipment to keep abreast of industry
Need to add equipment in several key areas
HPLC
- HPLC/MS
Supercritical fluid extraction and chromatography
Lab has small budget, so purchase of a major equipment item (e.g., a new mass spec) can cause
fiscal problems in year of purchase
Need to find a way to amortize equipment cost over lifetime of item
Considerable paperwork in document review and quality control; should look into electronic
document transfer/tracking/reviewing system that can function across geographical boundaries
Locational Issues:
Good to have lab located in an area isolated from urban areas due to low levels of environmental
contaminants
Many infrastructure-sharing opportunities in collocation with NASA, other agencies at Stennis
Space Center
A-ECL-2
-------
Work program is not regional in orientation
Need more travel money for staff professional development

Collocation with RREL and the accessibility to microbiological expertise is an asset; collocation
also provides a good entree to ORD in general.
- Since support functions such as facilities management, safety, and health are provided by the
Center (ORD), TSD can probably operate more efficiently and cost-effectively than it would as a
stand-alone entity.
With increasing concern over microbiological contamination of drinking water, capability in
microbiology would enable TSD to expand its support to the water program.
Managing and supporting the Implementation Collection Requirements activity will consume a
substantial portion of the current staff and management resources of TSD.

multiprogram perspective. Identify information gaps to direct future data acquisition activities.
Use scientific and environmental data to identify problems, assess their relative risk, and identify
information gaps that exist for identification of emerging problems.
Provide fully equipped field and laboratory support to produce physical, chemical, and biological
data of known quality to support Agency decision-makers through partnerships with regional and
national media program offices; state, local, and tribal governments; academia; the private sector;
and the public.

-------
Funding Sources:
Primary support from Regional Program Offices
Equipment budget from national pool
- Special projects funding (i.e., external funding through EMAP-helicopter and REMAP-boat)
Facility/Equipment Issues:
- Old buildings that have required extensive renovation; a new lab is being planned
Good equipment, estimated to be adequate to meet present and anticipated needs
Anticipated future need for more clean rooms for sample analysis (Le., low-level methods)
Poor work flow in some instances because of configuration of buildings; requires extra precautions
to protect sample analytical quality
Locational Issues:
Near regulated industries
Larger pool of scientists from other laboratories, industries, and universities
- Good location within region (close to all three state capitals, close to suppliers of equipment and
supplies, easy transportation with three airports, rail, and highway access, near threatened air and
watersheds)
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Helicopter for "floatables" monitoring program
Marine vessels with wet chemistry and microbiology capabilities on board
Access to other marine vessels (Guardian-Great Lakes, Anderson-HQ EPA in Atlantic)

Facility/Equipment Issues:
Current buildings, space, and structures considered too disjointed for efficient operation
- New single facility planned, to begin construction in mid-1994 (should remedy)
Equipment adequate in most areas
A-REG4-1
-------
New equipment needed to perform mobile air toxics monitoring
Current information management is fragmented and not fully automated
Need facility-wide integrated technical data and information management system
Need more GIS capabilities
- Use TVA and Corps of Engineers as models for equipment cost amortization
Expensive items hard to acquire because all budgetary impact is in year of purchase and cost cannot
be amortized over life of item
Locational Issues:
Central location in region
Small town allows easy mobilization
Proximity to UGa and other agencies
Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Relatively senior expert staff with imminent retirement is a concern
Excellent working relationship with regional office
- Good morale
Dispersed physical plant (new facility planned)
Heavy staff involvement in field work seen as strengthening review/QA function
Functional rather than programmatic organization seen as a strength

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Environmental Services Division
Location: Central Regional Laboratory Eastern District Office
536 S. Clark St. 25089 Center Ridge Road
Chicago, IL 60604 Westlake, OH 44145
Directors: Mr. Charles Elly A. R. Winklhofer
Telephones: (312)353-9064 (216)522-7260
Administering Office: Office of the Regional Administrator, Region 5
Missions and Activities:
Maintain and enhance a technically and scientifically skilled, dedicated, and diverse staff
incorporating the ESO as an equal partner in the Agency's budget, management, and decision-
making processes.
- Conduct quality inspections and investigations to achieve and maintain a high level of compliance
with environmental laws and regulations. Participate in enforcement programs by providing
comprehensive technical support and analysis.
Assess the environmental problems in the region and their relative risk from a
multimedia/multiprogram perspective. Identify information gaps to direct future data acquisition
activities.
Provide field and laboratory support to acquire physical, chemical, and biological data of known
quality for environmental and enforcement decision making at all levels of government.
Provide technical assistance to strengthen partnerships with regional and national program offices;
state, local and tribal governments; academia; and the public.
Products:
See Tables 8 and 9 for a list of basic and unique services for this laboratory.
Customers:
Office of the Regional Administrator
Regional Program Director
Funding Sources:
Primary support from Regional Program Offices
Equipment budget from national pool
Special projects funding (e.g., environmental justice study in SE Chicago)
A-REG5-1
-------
Facility/Equipment Issues:
Laboratory occupies top floor of a downtown Chicago office building, owned and operated by
GSA. Proximity to other offices is not believed by the Director or staff to pose a serious safety
hazard, and this is supported by the fact that GSA is installing two additional (unrelated) labs on
other floors of the building.
- Top floor location has resulted in recent disruption of operations for construction of new hood
ventilators associated with the new laboratories—any new fixture on the building roof results in
disturbance of this laboratory.
The current laboratory is somewhat crowded, with narrow aisles and little free bench space. This is
manageable, but conducive to disorder. The ESO Director recently (2 September 1993) described
the laboratory facility as "far short" of a state-of-the-art facility and stated that maintenance of the
substandard facility costs EPA an average of $300,000 per year.
Specifications have been prepared for a replacement laboratory. The project is not moving forward
at this time.
Electrical supply, water, and sewer are satisfactory. Hood operations conflict with GSA efforts to
reduce building energy usage so that the presence of laboratories in the building causes extra
expense.
Major equipment is generally satisfactory, as long as timely upgrades and replacements can be
obtained. Desktop computers are older PC 286 class, and there is currently no Internet access.
- The RLIMS is now being implemented in a client-server architecture, which will provide a very
high degree of sample management capability.
Locational Issues:
- Proximity to Region 5 offices is considered very useful for planning and technical support to
Program Office staff.
The Eastern District Office, located in Westlake, Ohio, conducts inspections and has a small, wet
chemistry laboratory.
Proximity to the major industrial areas of the Region is regarded favorably by the state and local
governments.
The downtown Chicago location was not considered a disadvantage by interviewees.
Interviewees were split on whether it was necessary for the laboratory to remain in Chicago.
A-REG5-2
-------
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Freshwater (Great Lakes) expertise
Low-level analytical capabilities for most analytes
- Special expertise and experience with toxic substances sampling and analysis, owing to heavy
industrial base in Region 5

the Region 9 laboratory provides services to the Department of Defense, Environmental Protection
Agencies and citizens of U.S. territorial islands, and the Department of the Interior.
A-REG9-1
-------
Funding Sources:
Primary support from Regional Program Offices
- Equipment budget from national pool
- Special projects funding
Facility/Equipment Issues:
During the time expended in the planning, design and building of the laboratory, redirection of
programs has occurred. Consequently, the virology and microbiology sections of the laboratory are
not planned to be used, as originally anticipated, for routine analytical work. These sections are
unmanned and virtually unequipped. Currently, these areas are being used for practical laboratory
training in conjunction with Region 9 and 10 training conferences.
The types and number of scientific instrumentation and equipment at the laboratory is average. The
facility is cohabitated with the ESAT contractor: This contractor performs the chemical testing in
the facility and all biological work is performed by EPA employees. The cohabitation in the
laboratory hinders EPA scientists from access to chemical instrumentation in the facility.
Expensive parts, analytical standards and supplies for equipment are difficult to obtain through the
current purchasing process that imposes a ceiling price on these consumable items.
- The facility needs an Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrophotometer/Mass Spectrophotometer
(ICP/MS) to update metals capability. Two elderly Gas Chromatograph (GC)/MSs and INCOS data
systems need to be replaced. Giardia/Cryptosporidium capability is needed in the region.
- Field work is currently not provided by EPA staff to the region because of lack of sufficient
manpower. Field equipment is available and is underutilized.
Locational Issues:
- The laboratory is located on the University of California campus, and partnerships with the
academic community have been initiated. For example, graduate student internships in the EPA
laboratory. Outreach to the local community colleges is anticipated.
- An Equipment Management Facility is located in the building. Superfund field equipment and
supplies are pooled here and loaned on an as needed basis to EPA employees and contractors for
use in the region.
Laboratory is located near an airport and seaport providing the most direct connections to the
Pacific Ocean islands. Customs offices are also located near the laboratory affording the quickest
possible relay of samples and equipment to and from these islands.
- US/Mexico cooperative efforts.
West Coast species marine animal ecosystem.
A-REG9-2
-------
Although the laboratory has salt water bioassay capability, the use of natural water supplied from
this location is unsuitable for use in this testing. Variations in salinity and contamination of the
bay makes these waters unsuitable. Salt water studies at this study use "artificial" sea water.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
The facility is new, opened in October 1993, and consists of the main laboratory building and a
separate hazardous waste storage building.
Facility is superior to similar federal and private sector facilities. The design of the facility
incorporates service corridors, making it easy to maintain and flexible if modifications of services
are required.
The laboratory includes isolation and containment areas, air locks, HEP A exhaust hoods, chemical
hoods, and air circulation and waste disposal systems that adequately address safety and health
issues and environmental contamination control and disposal.
Three environmental chambers provide temperature-controlled, walk-in incubators for culturing
organisms and testing.
Freshwater and saltwater bioassay capability
Drilling mud bioassay capability
Radiochemistry
Carbamate analysis
Excellent building design to minimize cross-contamination between clean and dirty areas
- Low-resolution furan and dioxin capability
- Virology laboratory
- In-house RI/FS and NPDES expertise
Field support includes field X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy
Sediment/soil grain size testing
Acid neutralization capability
Solvent recovery system
Conference facility for 90 people
Radio communication center for emergency communications and an alternate assembly area for
catastrophic response

LABORATORY DESCRIPTION
Laboratory Name: Manchester Environmental Laboratory Branch
Location: 7411 Beach Drive East 1200 Sixth Avenue (ESO Region 10)
Port Orchard, Washington 98366 Seattle, Washington 98101
Director: Mr. Michael Johnson Mr. Ronald A. Kreizenbeck
Telephone Number: (206) 871-8701 (206) 553-1265
Administering Office: Office of the Regional Administrator, Region 10
Missions and Activities:
Maintain and enhance a technically and scientifically skilled, dedicated, and diverse staff
incorporating Environmental Services as equal partners in the Agency's budget, management and
decision-making processes.
Conduct quality inspections and investigations, and participate in enforcement programs by
providing comprehensive technical support and analysis.
Assess the environmental problems in the region and their relative risk from a multimedia/
multiprogram perspective. Identify information gaps to direct future data acquisition activities.
Use scientific and environmental data to identify problems, assess their relative risk, and identify
information gaps that exist for identification of emerging problems.
Provide fully equipped field and laboratory support to produce physical, chemical, and biological
data of known quality to support Agency decision makers through partnerships with regional and
national media program offices; state, local, and tribal governments; academia; the private sector;
and the public.
Provide technical assistance to strengthen partnerships with regional and national program offices;
state, local and tribal governments; academia; and the public.
Products:
See Tables 8 and 9 for a list of all basic and unique capabilities for this laboratory.
Customers:
See Table 10.
Funding Sources:
Primary support from regional program offices
- Equipment budget from national pool
A-REG10-1
-------
Special projects funding (e.g., state of Washington contribution to utilities as co-occupant)
Facility/Equipment Issues:
Additional space is needed for sample and glassware preparation.
Emergency power generator for laboratory requires an uninterrupted power supply system to keep
laboratory computers operating until emergency diesel starts and absorbs the power load.
- Bioassay building is not being regularly used by EPA due to lack of EPA staff leading to
discontinuation of EPA performance of freshwater and saltwater bioassays. The facility is being
used to a limited degree for state bioassays.
Building and equipment are of above-average quality.
Usage time for equipment and sample preparation space is rigidly scheduled due to use by
three groups (EPA, state of Washington, and ESAT contractors) Peak workload can be a problem.
Facility design and available open space would make expansion easy. An expansion to ease
laboratory congestion is being planned.
Locational Issues:
EPA facility is used for studies by the National Marine Fisheries
- Facility is located within the Pacific coast ecosystem
Saltwater is pumped directly from Puget Sound to maintain cultures
- Facility and staff deficiencies are sometime overcome through cooperation with the collocated
Washington State Department of Ecology laboratory
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Live animal facility for saltwater and freshwater bioassay including saltwater exposure chambers
for salmon growth studies
Laboratory waste treatment facility (pilot program)
Strong metals and organic programs
Robotic sample preparation for metals analysis using microwave digestion
ICP-MS, low-level metals preparation rooms (clean and dirty)
Gas chromatographic analysis (for organics) using atomic emission detection
Air toxics capability for organics
Controlled sample custody and storage dedicated to supporting regional enforcement efforts
Parasite microbiology and microscopic particle analysis (only source within Region)
