Environmental Protection Agency 2004 Annual Performance Plan and Congressional Justification Table of Contents Annual Performance Goals and Measures Clean Air 1 Clean and Safe Water 2 Safe Food 24 Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes, Workplaces and Ecosystems 27 Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites, and Emergency Response 37 Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks 50 Quality Environmental Information 59 Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risks and Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems 64 A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance with the Law 70 Effective Management 77 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures GOAL: CLEAN AIR The air in every American community will be safe and healthy to breathe. In particular, children, the elderly, and people with respiratory ailments will be protected from health risks of breathing polluted air. Reducing air pollution will also protect the environment, resulting in many benefits, such as restoring life in damaged ecosystems and reducing health risks to those whose subsistence depends directly on those ecosystems. OBJECTIVE: ATTAIN NAAQS Reduce the risk to human health and the environment by protecting and improving air quality so that air throughout the country meets national clean air standards by 2005 for carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and lead; by 2012 for ozone; and by 2018 for particulate matter (PM). To accomplish this in Indian country, the tribes and EPA will, by 2005, have developed the infrastructure and skills to assess, understand, and control air quality and protect Native Americans and others from unacceptable risks to their health, environment, and cultural uses of natural resources. Reduce Exposure to Unhealthy Ozone Levels -1 Hour In 2004 The number of people living in areas with monitored ambient ozone concentrations below the NAAQS for the 1-hour ozone standard will increase by 1% (relative to 2003) for a cumulative total of 20% (relative to 1992). In 2003 Maintain healthy air quality for 42 million people living in monitored areas attaining the ozone standard; certify that 7 areas of the remaining 54 nonattainment areas have attained the 1-hour NAAQS for ozone thus increasing the number of people living in areas with healthy air by 5.1 million. In 2002 Maintained healthy air quality for 41.7 million people living in monitored areas attaining the ozone standard; and certified 1 area of the remaining 55 nonattainment areas attained the 1-hour NAAQS for ozone, thus increasing the number of people living in areas with healthy air by 326,000. In 2001 EPA maintained healthy air quality for 38.2 million people living in 43 areas attaining the ozone standard, increased by 3.5 million the number of people living in areas with healthy air quality that have newly attained the standard by certifying that 3 new areas have attained the 1-hour standard. In 2000 Maintained healthy air quality for 33.4 million people living in 43 areas attaining the ozone standard. In 1999 The Regions revoked the 1-hour standard in 10 areas. However, based upon the Circuit Court decision regarding the revised ozone standard, the Agency has proposed to reinstate the 1-hour standard.

For the period 1999-2001, 26 of these areas (45%) with a population of 4 million (10%) had ambient PM-10 concentrations below the level of the NAAQS. (Population estimates based on 2000 census.) Comparisons of ambient air quality concentrations with the level of the NAAQS are based on a time period and statistic consistent with the NAAQS. For PM-10, this means a 3 year time frame. As a result of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, 84 3 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures areas were designated nonattainment for the PM-10 standard. Since that time, EPA has split Pocatella into 2 areas thereby revising the baseline to 85. Through 2002, 22 areas have been redesignated to attainment. The 1995 baseline for PM-10 reduced from mobile sources is 880,000 tons. Reduce Exposure to Unhealthy CO, S02, N02, Lead In 2004 The number of people living in areas with monitored ambient CO, N02, S02, or Pb concentrations below the NAAQS will increase by less than 1% (relative to 2003) for a cumulative total of 63% (relative to 1992). In 2003 Maintain healthy air quality for 53 million people living in monitored areas attaining the CO, S02, N02, and Lead standards; increase by 1.1 million the number of people living in areas with healthy air quality that have newly attained the standard.

For the period 2000-2001 (For some of the pollutants included in this measure, the number of years used to evaluate the ambient concentrations relative to the NAAQS may be less than the referenced time period: e.g. N02 is evaluated over a single year.), 20 of these areas (74%) with a population of 30 million (63%) had ambient CO, S02, N02, or Pb concentrations less than the level of the NAAQS. (Population estimates based on 2000 census.) The projected improvement in 2004 is estimated for a single area. Therefore, the increase by definition must occur in a single year interval. In addition, the population living in this areas of improved air quality is small relative to that for the remaining areas. Therefore the projected improvement in population is greater than zero but less than 1. For CO, S02, N02, and Pb, 107 areas were classified as nonattainment or were unclassified in 1990. Through 2002, 76 of those areas have been redesignated to attainment. The 1995 baseline for mobile source emissions for CO was 70,947,000 tons.

Research PM Effects Research In 2004 Provide reports to OAR and the scientific community that examine the health effects of high levels of air pollutants, especially particulate matter, in potentially susceptible populations so that PM standards protect human health to the maximum extent possible. In 2002 EPA provided data on the health effects and exposure to particulate matter (PM) and provided methods for assessing the exposure and toxicity of PM in healthy and potentially susceptible subpopulations to strengthen the scientific basis for reassessment of the NAAQS for PM. In 2001 EPA provided new information on the atmospheric concentrations, human exposure, health effects and mechanisms of toxicity of particulate matter. In 2000 EPA provided new information on the atmospheric concentrations, human exposure, and health effects of particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, and incorporated it and other peer-reviewed research findings in the second External Review Draft of the PM AQCD for NAAQS review.

FY 2004 Request report study report final AQCD report report report report Baseline: There is currently considerable concern that increased levels of particulate matter (PM) may disproportionately affect certain susceptible groups, especially when exposures are long-term. One such group is children, particularly those with pre-existing asthma and related cardiopulmonary diseases. Children living in areas of high pollution such as on the U.S.-Mexico border are particularly at risk due to economic factors as well as exposure. The elderly with chronic lung disease comprise another susceptible group who may be more acutely affected. Which components of PM are responsible for health effects in either of these groups remains unclear, as does how exposure data from monitoring sites relates to their personal situations. As noted by the National Research Council, the issue of susceptibility and chronic health outcomes is of utmost importance. Completion of this APG in FY 2004 8 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures will provide critical information to enhance risk estimates needed for promulgating the PM NAAQS and will provide information to the Office of Air so that it may focus its Air Quality Index on those who are at greatest risk. OBJECTIVE: REDUCE AIR TOXICS RISK By 2020, eliminate unacceptable risks of cancer and other significant health problems from air toxic emissions for at least 95 percent of the population, with particular attention to children and other sensitive subpopulations, and substantially reduce or eliminate adverse effects on our natural environment. By 2010, the tribes and EPA will have the information and tools to characterize and assess trends in air toxics in Indian country.

Request Reduced Baseline: In 1993, the last year before the MACT standards and mobile source regulations developed under the Clean Air Act began to be implemented, stationary and mobile sources are now estimated to have emitted 6.0 million tons of air toxics. (EPA's prior estimate was 4.3 million tons and was updated with improved inventory data.) Air toxics emission data are revised every three years to generate inventories for the National Toxics Inventory (NTI). In the intervening years between the update of the NTI, the model EMS-HAP (Emissions Modeling System for Hazardous Air Pollutants) is used to estimate and project annual emissions of air toxics. EMS-HAP projects emissions, by adjusting point, area and mobile emission data to account for growth and emission reductions resulting from emission reduction scenarios such as the implementation of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards. The FY 2003 target does not have growth factored in. With growth, the target for 2003 is a 1% reduction from 2002 levels for a cumulative reduction of 35%. OBJECTIVE: REDUCE ACID RAIN. By 2005, reduce ambient nitrates and total nitrogen deposition to 1990 levels. By 2010, reduce ambient sulfates and total sulfur deposition by up to 30 percent from 1990 levels. Reduce S02 Emissions In 2004 Maintain or increase annual S02 emission reduction of approximately 5 million tons from the 1980 baseline.

Keep annual emissions below level authorized by allowance holdings and make progress towards achievement of Year 2010 S02 emissions cap for utilities. In 2001 Approximately 5 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from the 1980 baseline. In 2000 6.3 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from 1980 baseline. In 1999 5.04 million tons of S02 emissions from utility sources were reduced from 1980 baseline and 420,000 tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources were reduced from levels that would have been emitted withou implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. 10 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures Performance Measures S02 Emissions NOx Reductions FY 1999 Actuals 30-Oct- 2000 420,000 FY 2000 Actuals 6,300,000 FY 2001 Actuals 6,670,000 FY 2002 Actuals Data Lag FY 2003 Pres.

The 1980 S02 emissions inventory totals 17.5 million tons for electric utility sources. This inventory was developed by National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) and used as the basis for reductions in Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. This data is also contained in EPA's National Air Pollutant Emissions Trends Report. Statutory S02 emissions cap for year 2010 and later is at 8.95 million tons which is approximately 8.5 million tons below 1980 emissions level. "Allowable S02 emission level" consists of allowance allocations granted to sources each year under several provisions of the Act and additional allowances carried over, or banked, from previous years. Reduce NOx Emissions In 2004 2 million tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources will be reduced from levels that would have been emitted without implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. In 2003 2 million tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources will be reduced from levels that would have been emitted without implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. In 2002 In 2001 On track to ensure that 2 million tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources are reduced from levels that would have been emitted without implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. 2 million tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources were reduced from levels that would have been emitted without implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments. In 2000 2 million tons of NOx from coal-fired utility sources were reduced from levels before implementation of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments.

FY 2004 Request 09/30/04 journal article reports Baseline: On October 31, 2001 EPA announced that the final standard for arsenic in drinking water of ten parts per billion (10 ppb) would become effective on February 22, 2002. Nearly 97 percent of the water systems affected by this rule are small systems that serve less than 10,000 people each. These small systems have limited resources and need more cost-effective technologies to meet the new standard. A total of $20 million has been allocated or planned in FY02 and FY03 for research and development of more cost-effective technologies, as well as technical assistance and training to operators of small systems to reduce their compliance costs. In FY 2004 EPA will provide final reports of full-scale demonstrations of arsenic treatment technologies to aid in the implementation of the arsenic rule and the protection of human health. Homeland Security - Water Security Research In 2004 Verify two point-of-use drinking water technologies that treat intentionally introduced contaminants in drinking water supplies for application by commercial and residential users, water supply utilities, and public officials. Performance Measures Verify two treatment technologies for application in buildings by commercial and residential users, utilities, and public officials to treat contaminants in drinking water supplies. FY 1999 Actuals FY 2000 Actuals FY 2001 Actuals FY 2002 Actuals FY 2003 Pres. Bud. FY 2004 Request 2 verifications Baseline: These technology verifications are being conducted in support of EPA's Draft Strategic Plan for Homeland Security and are focused on the water security tactic in the strategy. Evaluations of point-of-use drinking water treatment technologies have been ongoing for years and technologies are commercially available to remove disagreeable tastes and odors, and capture or neutralize contaminants. These point-of-use treatment technologies are now being considered as an additional means of treating water that may have been exposed to biological or chemical contaminants through terrorist attacks. What makes this undertaking unique is that the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program will formally verify such technologies using a standard protocol developed by a group of stakeholders, who are considered experts on such verifications. This additional line of defense can help reassure home and building owners and users, water supply utilities, and public officials that the drinking water supply in a residential or commercial building can be treated one more times once it enters the water distribution system of a building. 16 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures OBJECTIVE: PROTECT WATERSHEDS AND AQUATIC COMMUNITIES By 2005, increase by 175 the number of watersheds where 80 percent or more of assessed waters meet water quality standards, including standards that support healthy aquatic communities. (The 1998 baseline is 501 watersheds out of a national total of 2,262.) Watershed Protection In 2004 By FY 2005, Water quality will improve on a watershed basis such that 625 of the Nation's 2,262 watersheds will have greater than 80 percent of assessed waters meeting all water quality standards, up from 500 watersheds in 1998. In 2003 By FY 2003, Water quality will improve on a watershed basis such that 600 of the Nation's 2,262 watersheds will have greater than 80 percent of assessed waters meeting all water quality standards, up from 500 watersheds in 1998. In 2002 This measure reflects states' biennial reporting under CWA 305(b), and is not intended to be reported against again until the FY2003 reporting cycle.

State water quality standards program reviews are under a 3-year cycle as mandated by the Clean Water Act under which all states maintain updated water quality programs. The performance measure of state submissions (above) thus represents a "rolling annual total" of updated standards acted upon by EPA, and so are neither cumulative nor strctly incremental. EPA must review and approve or disapprove state revisions to water quality standards within 60-90 days after receiving the state's package. As of this May EPA was overdue in approving or disapproving 38 new or revised standards from 21 states and tribes.

The role of Best Management Practices (BMP's) as both an effective and economical means to meet permit requirements remains the central regulatory and non-regulatory approach for restoring much of the Nation's degraded water quality in urban environments. The scientific literature and reviews of current design and monitoring practices show that the effectiveness of BMPs is highly variable, is often defined and reported differently, and that monitoring rarely documents biological water quality improvements. Efforts are needed to better monitor and characterize the performance of BMPs by detailed analysis of the physical, chemical and biological processes common to many diverse BMPs. Based on on-going research in this area, in FY 2004, EPA will provide comprehensive guidance for application of stormwater BMPs in highly variable urban watersheds across the U.S. This guidance will provide states, regions and watershed managers a means for determining the effectiveness of BMPs in meeting water quality goals. 23 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures GOAL: SAFE FOOD The foods Americans eat will be free from unsafe pesticide residues. Particular attention will be given to protecting subpopulations that may be more susceptible to adverse effects of pesticides or have higher dietary exposures to pesticide residues. These include children and people whose diets include large amounts of noncommercial foods. OBJECTIVE: REDUCE RISKS FROM PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD By 2006, reduce public health risk from pesticide residues in food from pre-Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) levels (pre-1996). Decrease Risk from Agricultural Pesticides In 2004 Decrease adverse risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels. In 2004 Decrease risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels. In 2003 Decrease adverse risk from agricultural uses from 1995 levels and assure that new pesticides that enter the market are safe for humans and the environment, through ensuring that all registration action are timely and comply with standards mandated by law. In 2002 In FY 2002, EPA continued to register pest control products, including "safer" pesticides, thus ensuring that growers have an adequate number of pest control options available to them. In 2001 The Agency registered 9 new chemicals, exceeding its target by 2, and 267 new chemicals, underperforming its target by 83. In 2001 The registration of new agricultural pesticides, and reregistration of older agricultural pesticides, were done under the strict health-based standard of FQPA: "reasonable certainty of no harm." "Safer" pesticides are those that meet a stricter set of criteria. In 2000 The Registration Program completed registrations for 9 new chemicals, 3069 amendments, 1106 me-toos, 427 new uses, 95 inerts, 458 special registrations, 452 tolerances, and 13 reduced risk chemicals/biopesticides. In 1999 In FY 1999, EPA registered 19 additional reduced risk pesticides, including 13 biopesticides. EPA established 351 new pesticide food tolerances and acted on 681 proposed new pesticide uses, ensuring that all meet the new health safety standard of "reasonable certainty of no harm."

Number of new uses for previously registered antimicrobial products Baseline: The baseline for registration of reduced risk pesticides, new chemicals, and new uses, the baseline is zero in the year 1996 (the year FQPA was enacted). Progress is measured cumulatively since 1996. The baseline for acres-treated is 3.6% of total acreage in 1998, when the reduced-risk pesticide acres- treatments was 30,332,499 and total (all pesticides) was 843,063,644 acre-treatments. Each year's total acre-treatments, reported by USDA's National Agricultural Statistical Survey serve as the basis for computing the percentage of acre-treatments using reduced risk pesticides. Acre-treatments count the total number of pesticide treatments each acre receives each year. The baseline for residues on children's foods is occurance on 33.5% of composite sample of children's foods in the baseline years 1994-1996. There are currently no products registered for use against other potential bio-agents (non- anthrax). Baseline: There are currently no products registered for use against other potential bio-agents (non-anthrax). OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE USE ON FOOD OF PESTICIDES NOT MEETING STANDARDS By 2008, use on food of current pesticides that do not meet the new statutory standard of "reasonable certainty of no harm" will be eliminated. Reassess Pesticide Tolerances In 2004 Ensure that through on-going data reviews, pesticide active ingredients and the products that contain them are reviewed to assure adequate protection for human health and the environment, taking into consideration exposure scenarios such as subsistence lifestyles of Native Americans.

Also consider the unique exposure scenarios such as subsistence lifestyles of Native Americans in regulatory decisions. In 2002 Reregistration efforts delayed to focus on reviewing and testing pesticides against anthrax. In 2001 EPA reassessed 40% of tolerances requiring reassessment under FQPA and issued a cumulative 72% of total REDs required, achieving both targets. In 2000 We did not achieve our FY2000 target for tolerance reassessments due to the ongoing work to establish a science policy on cumulative risk. Although we missed our annual target, we are still on track to meet our statutory deadlines to reassess all tolerances. In 1999 Tolerances reassessed by EPA through Sept. 30, 1999 totaled 35%, exceeding both our cumulative target and the statutory deadline of reassessing 33% of the existing tolerances by Aug. 1999.

OBJECTIVE: MANAGE NEW CHEMICAL INTRODUCTION AND SCREEN EXISTING CHEMICALS FOR RISK By 2007, prevent or restrict introduction into commerce of chemicals that pose risks to workers, consumers, or the environment and continue screening and evaluating chemicals already in commerce for potential risk. New Chemicals and Microorganisms Review In 2001 EPA reviewed 1,770 Premanufacturing Notices. By the end of 2001, 21 percent of all chemicals in commerce had been assessed for risks. In 2000 All new chemical pre-manufacturing notification submissions were reviewed within the required timeframe. In 1999 EPA used TSCA authorities to review 1,717 premanufacture notices (PMNs) and exemptions. EPA took control actions on 20 of the 31 notices involving PBTs.

EPA will work to clean up previously polluted sites, restore them to uses appropriate for surrounding communities, and respond to and prevent waste-related or industrial accidents. OBJECTIVE: CONTROL RISKS FROM CONTAMINATED SITES AND RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES By 2005, EPA and its federal, state, tribal, and local partners will reduce or control the risk to human health and the environment at more than 374,000 contaminated Superfund, RCRA, underground storage tank (UST), and brownfield sites and have the planning and preparedness capabilities to respond successfully to all known emergencies to reduce the risk to human health and the environment. Superfund Cost Recovery In 2004 Ensure trust fund stewardship by getting PRPs to initiate or fund the work and recover costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. Address cost recovery at all NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations (SOL) on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000. In 2003 Ensure trust fund stewardship by getting PRPs to initiate or fund the work and recover costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. Address cost recovery at all NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations (SOL) on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000. In 2002 The goal was met. Cost recovery was addressed at 204 NPL and non-NPL sites of which 101 had total past costs greater than or equal to $200,000 and potential statute of limitiations (SOL) concerns. EPA secured cleanup and ocst recovery commitments from private parties in excess of $645 million. In 2001 Although the goal was not met, there was no loss in dollars recovered. Cost recovery was addressed at 208 National Priorities List (NPL) and non-NPL sites during FY 2001, of which 89 had total past costs greater than or equal to $200,000 and potential statute of limitations (SOL) concerns. EPA addressed cost recovery for 87 of the 89 sites and planned to write off costs associated with the two other SOL cases, but decision documents were not completed before the expiration of the SOL. The documents were finalized before the end of the fiscal year. EPA's cost recovery activities are important because they preserve the Superfund Trust Fund by recovering EPA's past costs, making resources available for other Superfund site cleanups. With respect to private parties in FY 2001, EPA secured cleanup and cost recovery commitments in excess of $1.7 billion (more than $1.45 billion for future cleanup and $355 million for recovery of past costs). In 2000 Addressed cost recovery at 98.5% of NPL and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000. In 1999 We met our goal to ensure trust fund stewardship by recovering costs from PRPs when EPA expends trust fund monies. EPA addressed cost recovery at 99% of all National Priority List (NPL) and non-NPL sites with a statute of limitations on total past costs equal to or greater than $200,000. 37 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures Performance Measures FY 1999 FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002 FY 2003 FY 2004 Actuals Actuals Actuals Actuals Pres.

Superfund Potentially Responsible Party Participat In 2004 Maximize all aspects of PRP participation which includes maintaining PRP work at 70% of the new remedial construction starts at non-Federal Facility Superfund, and emphasize fairness in the settlement process. In 2003 Maximize all aspects of PRP participation which includes maintaining PRP work at 70% of the new remedial construction starts at non-Federal Facility Superfund, and emphasize fairness in the settlement process. In 2002 In FY 2002 the percentage of remidial construction starts initiatied by reponsible parties exceeded the target by one percent. In 2001 In FY 2001 the percentage of remedial construction starts initiated by responsible parties was slightly less than the target, but the average over the past 3 years is 73%. EPA determines the percentage of remedial construction starts conducted by responsible parties at non-federal facility Superfund sites because it indicates the percentage of sites where cleanup is achieved using private party funding as opposed to the Superfund Trust Fund. For the future, the definition of responsible party-led remedial construction starts has been revised to include those construction starts performed by EPA but having the majority of funding come from special accounts. Majority is defined to mean that the funding contributed by responsible parties toward the total response cost to the special account exceeds the amount contributed by the largest non-private entity. To ensure fairness in the settlement process, EPA successfully made orphan share offers at 100% of work settlement negotiations. Of the 18 sites having small waste contributors that were targeted for de minimis settlements in FY 2001, 15 de minimis settlements were accomplished.

In 2003 To ensure cost-effective and technically sound site clean-up, deliver state-of-the-science reports and methods to EPA and other stakeholders for risk management of fuel oxygenates; organic and inorganic contamination of sediments, ground water and/or soils; and oil spills. In 2002 EPA provided evaluation information on six innovative approaches that reduce human health and ecosystem exposure from dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) and methly tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE) in soils and groundwater, and from oil and persistent organics in aquatic systems. In 2001 EPA provided technical information to support scientifically defensible and cost-effective decisions for clean-up of complex sites, hard-to-treat wastes, mining, oil spills near shorelines, and Brownfields to reduce risk to human health and the environment. In 2000 The MTBE case studies summary report was delayed to include more than the original four sites. The SITE report was sent to OMB in FY 2000, but the time required for approval delayed its arrival in Congress. The dermal exposure route report was delayed until 12/00 to allow for completing peer review. In 1999 Produced the annual Superfund Innovative Technology and Evaluation (SITE) Program report, and completed six (6) innovative technology reports.

FY 2004 Request report draft report reports Baseline: Much of the controversy over selecting remedies for contaminated sediment sites arises because the effects and effectiveness of the remedies is not well documented. Congress identified this issue when it directed EPA to have the National Academy of Science conduct a study of the "...availability, effectiveness, costs, and effects of technologies for the remediation of sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), including dredging and disposal." The resulting National Research Council (NRC) report included a major recommendation that "Long-term monitoring and evaluation of PCB-contaminated sediment sites should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the management approach and to ensure adequate, continuous protection of humans and the environment." In FY 2004, EPA will complete data sets on implementing and monitoring remedies in order to help reduce the uncertainty associated with remedy selection and to identify the methods that efficiently chart remedy performance over time. Homeland Security-Building Decontamination Reseach In 2004 Provide to building owners, facility managers, and others, methods, guidance documents, and technologies to enhance safety in large buildings and to mitigate adverse effects of the purposeful introduction of hazardous chemical or biological materials into indoor air. Performance Measures Prepare ETV evaluations on at least 5 new technologies for detection, containment, or decontamination of chemical/biological contaminants in buildings to help workers select safe alternatives. Through SBIR awards, support as least three new technologies/methods to decontaminate HVAC systems in smaller commercial buildings or decontaminate valuable or irreplacable materials.

EPA's two-year plan focuses on research, development, testing, and communication of enhanced methods for detection and containment of biological and chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals intentionally introduced into large buildings. This plan also addresses decontamination of building surfaces, furnishings, and equipment, with safe disposal of residual materials. Every effort is being made to coordinate EPA's work with other government agencies, to avoid redundancy and to maximize the utility of this work. With the FY 2004 building decontamination research, emergency responders, building owners/managers, and decontamination crews will have information, including guidance documents and technology evaluations, needed to enhance safety in buildings and to mitigate adverse effects of the purposeful introduction of hazardous chemicals or biological materials into indoor air.

Sessions Baseline: The US-Mexico border region extends more than 3,100 kilometers (2,000 miles) from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacfic Ocean, and 62.5 miles on each side on the international border. More than 11.8 million people reside along the border. The figure is expected to reach 19.4 million by 2020. Ninety percent of the population reside in the 14 paired, interdependent sister cities. Rapid population growth in urban areas has resulted in unplanned developmement, greater demand for land and energy, increased traffic congestion, increased waste generation, overburdened or unavailable waste tratment and disposal facilities, and more frequent chemical emergencies. Rural areas suffer from exposure to airborne dust, pesticide use, and inadequate water supply and waste treatment facilities. EPA, other U.S. federal agencies, and the Government of Mexico have partnered to address these environmental problems. OBJECTIVE: REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. By 2010, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions will be substantially reduced through programs and policies that also lead to reduced costs to consumers of energy and reduced emissions leading to cleaner air and water. In addition, EPA will carry out assessments and analyses and promote education to provide an understanding of the consequences of global change needed for decision making. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions In 2004 In 2003 In 2002 Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced from projected levels by approximately 81 MMTCE per year through EPA partnerships with businesses, schools, state and local governments, and other organizations. Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced from projected levels by approximately 72.2 MMTCE per year through EPA partnerships with businesses, schools, state and local governments, and other organizations. On track to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced from projected levels by approximately 65.8 MMTCE per year through EPA partnerships with businesses, schools, state and local governments, and other organizations. 52 ------- In 2001 In 2000 In 1999 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures EPA's Climate Protection Programs reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 65 million metric tons of carbon equivalent in 2001. EPA estimates that due to investments already made through EPA's technology deployment programs, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by more than 500 MMTCE through 2012.

FY 2004 Request 4 30 assessments assessments Baseline: The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is an EPA database containing Agency consensus scientific positions on potential adverse human health effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. IRIS currently provides information on health effects associated with chronic exposure to over 500 specific chemical substances. IRIS contains chemical-specific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health information in support of the first two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. Combined with specific situational exposure assessment information, the information in IRIS may be used as a source in evaluating potential public health risks from environmental contaminants. IRIS is widely used in risk assessments for EPA regulatory programs and site-specific decision making. Updating IRIS with new scientific information is critical to maintaining information quality and providing decision makers with a credible source of health effects information. Risk assessment work in FY 2004 will provide EPA and other decision makers with needed updates to IRIS so they can make informed decisions on how to best protect the public from harmful chemical exposure. OBJECTIVE: IMPROVE AGENCY INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY. Through 2006, EPA will continue to improve the reliability, capability, and security of EPA's information infrastructure.

Baseline: The attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, and the subsequent mailing of anthrax-contaminated letters, were unprecedented events in United States history. Other such events could occur in the future, or a totally different type of an attack might be conducted by a terrorist group or individual. The human health and ecological consequences of such events cannot be known before they happen. It is clear, however, that both human health and the environment will be impacted, either directly or as a result of efforts to contain, decontaminate, or dispose of materials from such events. It is essential that information on human health and ecological risks be developed as quickly as possible to help inform the relevant EPA personnel who can then share that information with public officials and the affected individuals. Such assessments must be conducted recognizing that in many instances supporting technical data will be limited. No current database is available that identifies those individuals within EPA that have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to address risk assessment issues such as source characterization, hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization in a short time frame. The database that will be completed in FY 2004 will allow EPA to develop a quick-response capability to future events so that assessments of human health and ecological impacts can be conducted rapidly. The database is being developed in support of EPA's Draft Strategic Plan for Homeland Security and is focused on the rapid risk assessment tactic described in the strategy.

Private sector technology developers produce almost all the new technologies purchased in the US and around the world. Purchasers and permitters of environmental technologies need an independent, objective, high quality source of performance information in order to make more informed decisions; and vendors with innovative, improved, faster and cheaper environmental technologies need a reliable source of independent evaluation to be able to penetrate the environmental technology market. In FY 2004, the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program will verify 35 additional technologies for a programmatic total of over 250 verifications, making data on their pending performance available for public use as well. 69 ------- 6-Year Performance Data Annual Performance Goals and Measures GOAL: A CREDIBLE DETERRENT TO POLLUTION AND GREATER COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW EPA will ensure full compliance with laws intended to protect public health and the environment. OBJECTIVE: INCREASE COMPLIANCE THROUGH ENFORCEMENT. EPA and its state, tribal, and local partners will improve the environment and protect public health by increasing compliance with environmental laws through a strong enforcement presence. Non-Compliance Reduction In 2004 EPA will direct enforcement actions to maximize compliance and address environmental and human health problems. In 2003 EPA will direct enforcement actions to maximize compliance and address environmental and human health problems. In 2002 BAsed upon one measure, this APG was not met. In 2001 EPA directed enforcement actions to maximize compliance and address environmental and human health problems. In 2000 Deterred and reduced noncompliance and achieved environmental and human health improvement. 74.9% of concluded enforcement actions required environmental or human health improvement, such as pollution reduction. Performance Measures Millions of pounds of pollutants required to be reduced through enforcement actions settled this fiscal year, (core optional) Establish statistically valid noncompliance rates or other indiciators of noncompliance for selected environmental problems.

To develop a more complete picture of the results of the enforcement and compliance program, EPA has initiated a number of performance measures designed to capture the results of lowering the timeline for significant noncompliers to return to compliance, reducing noncompliance recidivism rates, and improvements in facility process and/or management practices through behavioral changes. The baseline rates for many of these measures were established in FY00. These measures will complement the traditional enforcement measures of inspections and enforcement actions to provide a more complete picture of environmental results from the enforcement and compliance program. Inspections/Investigations In 2004 In 2004 In 2003 EPA will conduct inspections, criminal investigations, and civil investigations targeted to areas that pose risks to human health or the environment, display patterns of non-compliance, or include disproportionately exposed populations. EPA will provide direct investigative,forensic, and technical support to the Office of Homeland Security, FBI and/or other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to help detect and prevent, or respond to, terrorist-related environmental, biological or chemical incidents.
