Office of Resources Management and Administration

Functions

The Office of Resources Management and

Administration (ORMA) ensures that

ORD’s laboratories and centers have the

financial resources, facilities, and people

necessary to conduct world-class environmental research. ORMA provides management and administrative services needed to

integrate the activities of ORD staff at field

sites across the country into a cohesive, effective research and development program.

To accomplish this, ORMA provides support services and leadership to ORD’s laboratories and centers in many areas:

budgeting, finance, human resources, training, information systems and technology,

administrative procedures, health and safety,

facility operations, and ORD’s equipment

and laboratory infrastructure.

Budget Formulation and

Execution

ORMA develops and manages ORD’s overall budget of more than $550 million.

Working closely with the Agency, the Office of Management and Budget, and Congressional committees, ORMA ensures that

budget proposals are consistent with ORD’s

Strategic Plan and respond to the top priority regulatory and program needs of EPA.

Overseeing the implementation of ORD’s

research budget is also an ORMA responsibility, including the following: directing

operating plan development; tracking, monitoring, and analyzing changes and expenditures; and financial management and

analysis functions.

A sound research program must be dynamic,

modifying plans to include emerging issues

and responding to environmental crises,

such as the oil fires of Kuwait or the Exxon

Valdez oil spill. As ORD’s financial manager, ORMA ensures that resources are

available to assess and address the highest

areas of environmental risk.

Extramural Management,

Management Reviews, and

Internal Controls

ORMA is the principal staff office to ORD’s

Senior Resource Official. In this capacity,

ORMA oversees all of ORD’s contracting

and assistance activities and conducts independent reviews of ORD laboratory and

center operations in support of sound science.

ORMA develops and administers ORDwide policies and procedures to promote

more effective administrative practices. An

office-wide program of management reviews, jointly administered by laboratories,

centers, and ORMA, helps evaluate the

effectiveness of operations and compliance

with federal and EPA rules. Each year, ORD

staff develops and implements strategies to

promote integrity, effectiveness, and efficiency in ORD’s business management

practices.

ORD-wide accountability is maintained

through initiatives such as the Government

Performance and Results Act, special analyses, the review of the Government Accounting Office and Inspector General audits, and

the activities of ORD’s Management Council, chaired by ORD’s Senior Resource Official and comprised of senior management

officials from each laboratory, center, and

office.

Human Resources and

Infrastructure

ORD’s researchers are recognized worldwide for their accomplishments. ORMA

ensures that career programs are in place

for them, that resources are available for

scientific and managerial training, and that

sound performance is rewarded. In this effort, ORMA works in partnership with the

ORD Human Resources Council, which is

comprised of staff representatives from all

ORD sites across the country.

Office of Science Policy

Overview

The Office of Science Policy (OSP) is responsible for establishing and maintaining

strong working relationships among science

programs in the Office of Research and Development and science and regulatory programs in EPA program and regional offices.

A primary objective is to assure effective

and timely interactions among scientific

experts in the ORD laboratory system and

other EPA programs to enable ORD to

provide scientific information, counsel, and

assistance in policy formulation and other

regulatory development activities. A second, equally important objective is to use

these interactions to help assure strategic

planning of ORD’s research program.

Functions

The Office of Science Policy has two primary functions: (1) Guide the use of scientific analyses in current EPA decisions

by participating in ongoing regulatory

and science policy activities of EPA laboratories, program and regional offices,

and the Science Policy Council (SPC).

Teams provide media-specific regulatory

and science policy support to the EPA program offices and regions, and the Science

Policy Council on current science issues

facing the Agency. These Teams formulate

coordinated ORD and Agency positions on

science/policy issues, including proposed

legislation. (2) Assist in determining the

kind and quality of information available

for future environmental decisions by

leading ORD and Agency research planning activities. Teams manage future science needs, through the strategic planning

process for the ORD research program, to

ensure that it both meets the needs of EPA’s

laboratories, program offices and regions,

and draws upon and enhances ORD’s

unique expertise. Teams work with each of

the EPA program offices and regional offices to manage this effort through EPA’s

Research Coordination Council and Research Coordination Teams. These groups

develop EPA’s overall program of human

health and ecological research for use in

Agency decision-making.

Other Office of Science Policy responsibilities include science communication,

planning accountability, special issues

analysis, and office administrative activities.

The Administration Team serves as the

principal staff on all matters relating to financial and administrative management

support to the Office. This includes coordination with appropriate ORD and Agency

offices in activities supporting budget formulation and execution, human resources

management, management integrity activities, funds controls, information and records

management, meeting facilitation and organization, and extramural management of

the OSP.

The Science Policy Council Team serves

as the principal staff supporting the multioffice senior level Science Policy Council,

chaired by the Deputy Administrator. The

staff supports the SPC, its Steering Committee, panels and workgroups in work or

activities that address selected science

policy issues. These include cross-program,

cross-media, and cross-cutting scientific/

technical issues of importance to the

Agency.

The Planning Staff is responsible for managing and supporting the strategic planning

process for ORD’s research program to ensure that it meets the needs of EPA’s program offices and regions, and draws upon

ORD’s unique scientific expertise. This

requires coordination with the media Research Coordination Teams and ORD’s Office of Resources Management and

Administration, to assure effective program,

regional and laboratory participation in

ORD research planning efforts. The Planning Staff manages and supports the multi-
12

Office of Science Policy (continued)

office Research Coordination Committee,

which serves as the forum for discussion

and recommendations supporting decisions

regarding the Agency’s research program.

The Regional/State/Local Staff is responsible for managing the Regional Scientist

Program and supporting efforts to identify

and incorporate regional, state and local

needs into the research planning process.

The staff also promotes the use of science

tools in regional, state and local priority

setting and program implementation, and

enhances understanding of the Agency’s

science and technical activities through regional outreach and technical assistance.

The Regional Scientist Program is designed to promote information exchange

between ORD and the Regions and foster

greater consideration of science and technology in Regional decision-making. Scientists are detailed from ORD laboratories

and centers to the EPA Regional offices

and serve as liaisons to provide continuity

on science research activities.

The Air and Water Staff consists of two

teams: the Air Team and the Water Team.

Each team is responsible, in its respective

area of expertise, for assuring effective ORD

participation in and assistance to EPA regulatory and policy development activities,

assuring effective program office participation in the planning of ORD research and

facilitating client access to ORD scientific

expertise. This includes supporting program

offices by staffing Agency workgroups,

coordinating document development and

review among ORD’s laboratories and centers, and developing coordinated ORD positions. Other duties include informing ORD

senior management of relevant major issues in their respective media area, performing legislative analysis and review, and

assisting the AA/ORD in related special

programs and communications.

The Waste and Special Projects Staff

consists of two teams: the Waste Team and

the Special Projects Team. The Waste

Team is responsible for assuring effective

ORD involvement in EPA regulatory and

policy development activities, assuring effective program office participation in the

planning of ORD research, and facilitating

client access to ORD scientific expertise.

This includes supporting program offices

by staffing Agency workgroups and coordinating document development and review

among ORD’s laboratories and centers.

Other duties include informing ORD senior

management of relevant major issues in the

waste area, performing legislative analysis

and review, and assisting the AA/ORD in

related special programs and communications.

In addition to regulatory support activities,

the Waste Team manages the Superfund

Technical Liaison Program (STLP). Major

activities of the STLP are 1) facilitating the

incorporation of sound science and technology into regional environmental management decisions, 2) facilitating the

planning and implementation of ORD’s

research and technical support programs for

Regional Superfund and RCRA activities,

3) providing feedback to ORD laboratories

on how to improve Regional products and

services, and 4) building ORD-supported

technical capacity in Regional hazardous

waste programs.

The Special Projects Team is responsible

for outreach activities on key selected issues within ORD to the rest of EPA, other

Agencies, and state/local entities. Responsibilities include preparation of internal

publications, such as information brochures

and newsletters. In addition, the Team is

responsible for the development and coordination of documents through the Immediate Office of the Assistant Administrator

for external audiences, such as reports to

congress and other Federal agencies. The

Other important goals of NCEA are to:

• Advance the integration of ecological risk assessment with human

health assessment as a fundamental

approach in risk assessment activities

• Act as a catalyst for advances in the

science of risk assessment brought

about by cooperation and an exchange of ideas among environmental health professionals in the federal,

state, industrial, academic, environmental, public interest, and international communities

• Characterize the impacts on ecological and human systems whether they

result from exposure(s) to single,

complex, or multiple physical,

chemical, biological, or radiological

stressors

NCEA is a multi-disciplinary team of over

150 scientists and support staff in three

Divisions and the Risk Assessment Forum

staff. Figure 1 illustrates the overall makeup of the NCEA staff. Each NCEA Division has assessment responsibilities,

programmatic focuses, and areas of specialized technical expertise.

• The NCEA Division in Cincinnati,

Ohio, is a focal point for water and

waste programmatic issues. The Cincinnati office also maintains the following areas of special technical

emphasis:

- chemical mixtures

- federal facility chemical assessment

- microbiological risks

• The NCEA Division in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is a focal point for air programmatic issues.

The RTP office also maintains the

ORD’s National Center for Environmental

Assessment (NCEA) is the national resource

center for the overall process of human

health and ecological risk assessments; and

the integration of hazard, dose-response, and

exposure data and models to produce risk

characterizations. NCEA occupies a critical position in ORD between (1) the researchers in other ORD components who

are generating new findings and data, and

(2) the regulators in the EPA program offices and regions who must make regulatory, enforcement, and remedial action

decisions. Thus, NCEA is uniquely positioned to influence ORD’s future research

agenda to assure that it addresses research

needs identified by risk assessments and to

serve as consultants to the programs and

regions on the use of science in environmental decision making. In support of these

functions, NCEA focuses its work in three

major areas:

• Develop methodologies that reduce

uncertainties in current approaches

- dose-response models and factors

- exposure models and factors

- probabilistic models

- community-based risk assessment

• Conduct assessments of contaminants and sites of national significance

• Provide guidance and support to risk

assessors

- data bases

- risk assessment guidelines

- expert tools

- expert consultation and program

support

- risk assessment training

following areas of special technical

emphasis:

- pulmonary toxicology

- lead

- fuel and fuel additives

• The NCEA Division in Washington,

DC, is a focal point for pesticides,

toxics, and Superfund programmatic

issues. The Washington office also

maintains the following areas of

special technical emphasis:

- ecological assessment

- exposure assessment

- cancer risk assessment

- developmental toxicity and reproductive effects assessment

• The Risk Assessment Forum staff is

responsible for coordinating and

implementing the health and ecological assessment activities of EPA’s

Risk Assessment Forum. The Forum

is responsible for scientific and science policy analysis of selected precedent-setting or controversial risk

assessment issues of Agency-wide

interest. Some Forum activities include

- risk assessment guidance and

guidelines development

- risk assessment methodology

development

- development of cross-Agency

consensus positions on important risk assessment issues

National Center for Environmental Research and

Quality Assurance

Overview

NCERQA, located in Washington, DC, has

primary responsibility to issue and manage

research grant and fellowship programs. The

center’s programs are designed to expand

the Environmental Protection Agency’s

science and technology base and the pool

of qualified environmental professionals.

The center also serves as EPA’s focal point

for issues on quality assurance, and peer

review. NCERQA is comprised of four

divisions: the Environmental Engineering

Research Division; the Environmental Sciences Research Division; the Quality Assurance Division; and the Peer Review

Division.

NCERQA is one of five field components

of EPA’s Office of Research and Development. NCERQA manages the components

of the Science To Achieve Results (STAR)

Program (grants and fellowships); the Environmental Research Centers Program;

other centers, such as the Hazardous Substance Research Centers mandated by

CERCLA; other Congressionally targeted

centers; Early Career Awards; the Small

Business Innovative Research Program and

other assistance programs, including the

American Association for the Advancement

of Science — Environmental Science and

Engineering Fellows Program; the Resident

Research Associateship and Postdoctoral

and Senior Research Awards Program;

EPSCOR; the Culturally Diverse Institution

Undergraduate Fellowship Program; the

Culturally Diverse Institution Summer Internship Program; and the Cultural Diversity Academics Institution Program.

Mission

NCERQA was established to conduct

(through grant, fellowship, center and other

assistance programs) a high quality environmental research program focused on the

Agency’s critical science needs. The research program is designed to engage the

nation’s best scientists from universities and

non-profit centers to solve our environmental problems. The results from this research

will provide a scientific foundation for the

Agency to make sound environmental decisions and policies.

Environmental Engineering

Research

The Environmental Engineering Research

Division is responsible for planning, administering, and managing the following programs: grants for research projects and

special topic research centers in the engineering disciplines relevant to public health

and/or ecosystem protection; the Small

Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program; and coordination of ORD efforts in

support of the EPA-wide Common Sense

Initiative.

Environmental Sciences

Research

The Environmental Sciences Research Division is responsible for planning, administering, and managing the following

programs: grants for research projects and

special topic research centers in the biological, physical and social sciences relevant

to public health and/or ecosystem protection; undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral fellowships; the ORD-wide visiting

scientists program; and the Hazardous Substance Research Centers.

Peer Review

The Peer Review Division is responsible

for two functions: (1) the conduct of peer

review for the Center’s investigator-initiated research grants; applications for graduate fellowships; and applications for

assistance to establish environmental research centers. (2) on a case by case basis

conduct in-depth peer reviews of specific

ORD and Agency projects.
29

Quality Assurance

The Quality Assurance Division is responsible for policy and training development

and oversight of implementation of the

Agency-wide mandatory quality assurance

(QA) program, applicable to all environmental measurement operations. The Division is also responsible for overseeing

implementation of the Agency-wide policy

for peer review of scientific and technical

products. The Division develops Agency

policies and procedures for planning, implementing, and assessing the effectiveness of

the Agency-wide quality system, reviews

quality management plans from all Agency

organizations, performs periodic management assessments of the implementation of

the quality management plans, and develops generic quality-related training programs. In addition, the Division conducts

periodic management assessments of the

implementation of peer review in programs,

Regions, laboratories and centers, makes

recommendations regarding improvements

to the Agency’s peer review policies, and

develops generic training on the peer review policies and processes.

Science to Achieve Results

One of NCERQA’s primary new research

programs is the Science to Achieve Results

(STAR) Program. The STAR Program was

developed in response to several blue ribbon panel reviews to improve the quality

of science used in EPA’s decision making

process. ORD developed STAR as a major

component of its new risk-based Strategic

Plan. STAR is designed to recruit and engage the participation of the nation’s best

scientists in the implementation of the Office of Research and Development’s new

research program. STAR is a three-part

program:

1. Focused Requests for Applications

(RFAs), targeting research topics that address the specific science needs of EPA;

2. Exploratory Research Grants Program,

providing support for investigator-initiated

grants in broad topical areas such as ecological effects of pollution;

3. Graduate Fellowships Program, supporting the development of the nation’s scientific base dealing with environmental

concerns into the next century.

4. Environmental Research Centers Program, includes competitively selected universities that focus on long-term, multi

disciplinary issues of concern to EPA.

Relationship of the STAR

Program to the ORD

Strategic Plan

The ORD Strategic Plan defines new directions and goals for the Office of Research

and Development’s research by using a riskbased process to determine future research

priorities. The STAR program is an important component of the new directions described in the Strategic Plan. It is a

mechanism for accomplishing the research

objectives in the plan. The STAR program

is derived from the topic-specific research

plans that are currently being developed

from the ORD Strategic Plan. Each topic

specific research plan, such as for particulates in air or for disinfection by-products

in drinking water, describes the research

that must be performed to provide the information that EPA policy makers need to

make decisions. These research plans are

written by EPA-wide work groups and

undergo independent peer review. When the

research plans are final, ORD then decides

which work can best be accomplished with

the skills and expertise of the intramural

staff, and which research is best accomplished through grants or other mechanisms.

The specific funding announcements known

as Requests for Applications (RFAs) in the

STAR Program are thus written to be consistent with the ORD Strategic Plan and

topic specific research plans and to compleNational Center for Environmental Research and

Quality Assurance (continued)

ment the work done intramurally. The ORD

Strategic Plan lists as high priority areas

for research for the next few years:

• Drinking water disinfection

• Particulate matter in air

• Endocrine disrupters

• Ecosystem risk assessment

• Health risk assessment

• Pollution Prevention and new

technologies

Other areas of high importance that will

continue to be a major part of ORD’s research program include:

• Air pollutants

• Indoor air

• Global change

• Drinking water (in addition to

disinfection issues)

• Waste site risk characterization

• Waste management and site

remediation

In each of these areas ORD is developing

an extensive intramural research program

and a complementary extramural program.

the exposures resulting from interactions

of natural and anthropogenic activities.

Human Exposure

NERL conducts research on which drinking water disinfection processes affect

formation of harmful chemicals. Biotechnologists generate methods based on DNA

hybridization probes and polymerase chain

reaction (PCR) technology. Other scientists

identify hazardous microorganisms. Research improves our understanding of how

behavior and lifestyle affect human exposure to contaminants.

NERL scientists develop methods to quantify exposure to pesticides, toxic substances,

and pathogenic microbes. Characterization

of children’s exposure is a concern because

exposure may do more harm to a child than

to an adult. Researchers evaluate exposures

of farm families to pesticides. NERL participates in programs to study human exposure to pollutants.

NERL scientists develop procedures to determine the concentrations of particulate

matter. NERL develops models to improve

understanding of variability in particle characteristics and resulting exposures. Scientists study to develop methods to

characterize airborne fine particles to which

people are exposed, develop models to provide scientific knowledge required to determine the impacts of current regulations,

and assess potential future environmental

management needs.

Ecosystem Exposure

NERL conducts research to determine

sources of stress to ecological resources.

NERL engineers develop models to relate

landscape composition and spatial relationships to ecological condition and resource

sustainability. The goal is to develop an

approach to maintaining the health and

sustainability of ecological resources. NERL

efforts address questions such as the folMission

The National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) performs research to reduce

causes of human and ecosystem exposures

to harmful components in air, water, food,

soil, sediment, and waste. The laboratory’s

goal is to provide exposure methods that

represent state-of-the-art science. NERL scientists and engineers develop methods to

predict human and ecosystem exposures to

microbes, chemicals, and effects of physical disturbances. NERL characterizes

mechanisms by which contaminants are

transformed in the environment and develops mathematical expressions that describe these mechanisms to predict

environmental concentrations. Included are

models to predict and evaluate causes of

exposures; methods to characterize stressors to sensitive ecoregions and atmospheric

contaminant sources, transport, and flux;

procedures to assess regional vulnerabilities resulting in human and ecosystem exposures; and high performance computing

technology and algorithms to enhance visualization and modeling.

Research

With headquarters in Research Triangle

Park, NC, NERL has six divisions in four

locations: Athens, GA, Cincinnati, OH, Las

Vegas, NV, and Research Triangle Park,

NC. Personnel have expertise in biology,

chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, environmental science, hydrology, mathematics, microbiology, physics,

soil science, and statistics.

Researchers develop information to determine human and ecosystem exposure to detrimental environmental conditions. NERL

concerns range from determining exposure

of individuals to air contaminants to using

computing algorithms to predict exposure

of animals and plants to stressors. NERL

scientists and engineers develop and apply

technologies to enhance understanding of
36

lowing: How are our land-use patterns affecting continued habitation? What plant or

animal characteristics are indicative of current or future problems? How do natural

weather patterns distribute pollutants and

affect exposure? How do we determine

which exposures are most important? Which

chemical, physical, and biological measurements are most useful to define the condition of an ecological resource and predict

and prevent harmful exposures? At what

sites is monitoring needed and how often?

What are the biological and chemical processes that affect toxic substances? What

visualization techniques do we need to convey measurement and modeling results to

broad audiences in understandable ways?

NERL conducts assessments of climate impacts on a region to rank various stressors

in relative importance. For example, in the

mid-Atlantic region of the U.S., NERL uses

technologies to assess effects of climatic

factors on ecological areas and the impacts

on issues such as water quality. NERL

engineers develop models to characterize

landscape exposures at watershed scales,

which is required to prevent impairment of

ecological processes.

Other research addresses community problems. NERL develops models to study

sources contributing to mercury exposure

and bioaccumulation in the Florida Everglades and to predict the impacts of management and restoration strategies.

Human and Ecosystem

Exposure

Endocrine Disruptors—NERL develops

methods to measure contaminants that interfere with the endocrine system. These

contaminants are called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). NERL characterizes

their distribution in ecosystems and identifies the major environmental compartments

in which they accumulate. Scientists use

models to predict which chemicals are most

likely to be of concern for endocrine disruption. NERL develops methods to improve approaches for predicting exposure.

Waste Site Characterization—NERL develops approaches to monitor pollutants and

to determine soil and aquifer properties that

may increase exposure to hazardous waste.

Scientists use studies to determine the efficacy of processes to remediate land. NERL

investigates enzyme systems in vegetation

for their abilities to clean up sites. Engineers develop models to describe processes

of chemical contaminants of concern. NERL

uses geophysical techniques to detect waste

discharges, locate waste disposal sites, identify erosion, assess air particulate problems,

and monitor pollutants in soils and ground

water.

Urban Toxics and Mobile Sources—NERL

conducts research to assess the extent of

exposures caused by toxic air pollutants in

urban environments. Scientists measure

emissions from motor vehicles and examine prototype vehicles and fuels to assess

the potential exposure of emerging vehicle

and alternative fuel technologies. Engineers

develop tools to respond to legislation requiring characterization of residual exposure risks.

Chemical Characterization Research—

NERL scientists provide data about chemical pollutant concentrations. The scientists

develop screening methods to detect and

measure chemical pollutants. Other characterization problems require NERL scientists

to develop exposure assessment approaches.

Site Characterization Research in Support

of Hazardous Waste—Characterizing contaminants and contaminant plumes in the

subsurface/ground-water environment continues to be a complex aspect of Superfund

site characterization. NERL research focuses on the development of surface-based,

non-invasive geophysical technologies that

quantify pollutants and provide information

about subsurface hydrogeological and

geochemical structures and properties that

control pollutant distribution. Research inNational Exposure Research Laboratory (continued)
37

cludes models that provide exposure and

risk analysis, enable evaluation of the impact of stressors from multiple sources, and

consider habitat loss and ecological and

human demographics. NERL researchers

study processes that affect organic pollutants in the subsurface.

High Performance Computing and Communications—Because most exposure assessment capabilities pertain to only one

environmental medium, NERL researchers

develop exposure assessment capabilities for

local communities and regional planners to

use when considering a range of local control options. The goal is to develop flexible

environmental modeling and decision-making tools to support regional-scale multimedia risk assessment and risk management

efforts. NERL systems analysts develop

databases and computer graphics for visualization of information and computer output.

Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program—The SITE program

demonstrates and gathers information on

new, innovative technologies monitoring

subsurface pollutants under real field conditions. SITE has demonstrated technologies that are used at Superfund sites today

and have contributed to faster and cheaper

cleanup.

Technical Support for Regulatory Programs—NERL scientists provide the information to implement environmental

legislation and support statutorily mandated

research programs and partnerships. NERL

supports EPA’s commitment to (1) multiagency research efforts coordinated through

the Committee on Earth and Natural Resources, (2) an international cooperative

effort to ensure comparability of data gathered by federal agencies to monitor UV flux

and stratospheric ozone concentrations, and

(3) the development of international standards for UV monitoring. NERL measures

fluxes of UV-B radiation at the earth’s

surface and publishes a public information

index of potential exposure to UV-B. Other

global change studies include investigation

of farm production management systems

that hold carbon in the soil, thus reducing

the buildup of greenhouse gases, and characterization of boreal forest and atmosphere

interactions that affect global buildup of

greenhouse gases. NERL scientists develop

analytical methods to determine compliance

with environmental regulations. To support

promulgated regulations, they provide quality assurance manuals and guidelines, quality control and performance evaluation

samples, and calibration standards and conduct audits of state certified radiochemistry

laboratories. To ensure that laboratories

using Agency methods are providing data

of acceptable quality, NERL designs and

conducts laboratory performance evaluation

studies. Researchers study the precision and

bias of the Agency’s selected analytical

methods and evaluate the acceptability of

methods proposed for use in lieu of Agencyapproved methods.

NERL scientists and engineers provide regional office personnel with monitoring and

site assessment expertise. NERL provides

help in sampling and monitoring design;

remote sensing, mapping, and geostatistics;

borehole and surface geophysics; field portable X-ray fluorescence field determinations; and mixed waste and radiological

analyses. NERL aids in monitoring and

provides environmental assistance to the

Regions and Program Offices through several support activities. The Center for Exposure Assessment Modeling distributes and

supports a variety of exposure and fate

models for users throughout the world. The

Environmental Photographic Interpretation

Center provides remote sensing technical

support. The Technical Support Center provides analytical methods, quality assurance,

survey design and geostatistics, surface and

subsurface characterization, and sampling.

National Health and Environmental Effects Research

Laboratory

NHEERL quickly initiated studies of a fuel

additive suspected of causing the adverse

effects. Coordination of these capabilities

enables NHEERL to respond in a timely

and comprehensive manner to divergent

Agency needs. NHEERL sustains a program

that offers skills in many areas while retaining flexibility to adapt to changing priorities.

NHEERL has organized a cadre of nationally and internationally recognized scientific experts who pioneer solutions to

environmental problems, provide leadership

and guidance to the scientific community,

and lend technical advice in national and

international settings, often in crisis situations. On issues ranging from disaster response, e.g., the Exxon Valdez oil spill, to

evaluations of health and ecological effects,

e.g., the toxicity of endocrine disruptors, to

risk assessment, e.g., the dioxin reassessment, NHEERL scientists provide information essential to decision making. To

augment its in-house efforts, NHEERL

administers an extramural program through

cooperative agreements, contracts, and interagency agreements that draws on the

expertise of researchers in academia, industry, and government organizations. These

efforts produce objective, reliable data that

provide the scientific foundation for the

Agency’s risk assessments and assist in

resolving the most complex environmental

issues.

NHEERL’s commitment to advance knowledge surrounding the effects of contaminants and other stressors on human health

and ecosystem vitality stems from a clear

mission. The mission statement, described

below, embraces three goals. Pursuit of

these goals enables NHEERL to secure and

expand its position as a premier environmental research institution.

NHEERL’s mission is to perform high

quality, peer reviewed, effects-based research that improves the Agency’s ability

The National Health and Environmental

Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) is

the Agency’s focal point for scientific research on the effects of contaminants and

environmental stressors on human health

and ecosystem integrity. Its research helps

the Agency understand the processes that

cause pollution and evaluate the risks that

pollution poses to humans and ecosystems.

The impact of its efforts is felt beyond the

Agency as well, enabling state and local

governments to implement more effective

environmental programs, assisting the industrial section in setting and achieving

environmental goals, and informing international governments and organizations in

issues of environmental importance.

NHEERL’s primary function is to conduct

research that supports the Agency’s mandate, which includes statutory obligations.

Its more singular role is to improve the

Agency’s ability to assess health and ecological risk by strengthening the scientific

basis for risk assessment. To fulfill its responsibilities, NHEERL maintains a focused, yet diversified, research program that

works to reduce the uncertainties inherent

in regulatory risk assessment. These uncertainties range from fundamental scientific

questions, requiring the discipline of a sustained research strategy, to Congressionally

mandated investigations, demanding immediate response.

Accordingly, NHEERL addresses both

long-term and short term studies, combining elements of both basic and applied sciences to provide many research capabilities.

NHEERL’s long-term studies confront persistent and difficult issues, such as global

climate change, or the relationship between

airborne particles and increased rates of

respiratory illness. Its short-term projects

are shaped by more pressing imperative;

for example, when complaints of illness coincided with the use of oxygenated gasoline in certain regions of the country,
46

to make decisions about health and ecological risk; to improve leadership in the

area of environmental science; and to provide scientific and technical assistance at

local, state, regional, national, and international levels.

NHEERL accomplishes its mission through

the integrated activity of nine research divisions, five of which focus on human

health issues and four of which focus on

ecological issues. The health divisions are

centrally located in Research Triangle Park,

NC, while the ecology divisions are strategically situated in ecologically distinct geographic regions across the U.S. In addition

to the nine research divisions, NHEERL

also directs the Environmental Monitoring

and Assessment Program (EMAP). EMAP

activities cut across the ecology divisions

and include designing a comprehensive

environmental research and monitoring program.

The following are examples of NHEERL

research:

• Ecosystem Health and Integrity: Developed an innovative device for

characterizing and predicting the

entrainment of sediments. Demonstrated nutrient inputs and cycling

with respect to nitrogen and phosphorus in the Chesapeake Bay and

selected tributaries.

• Microbial Ecology: Developed

method to estimate level of expression of merA gene in environments.

Developed monoclonal antibody

technique to help track organisms

that degrade trichloroethylene. Advanced knowledge of effects of mixtures of hazardous chemicals.

• Chemical Mixtures and Multiple

Stressors: Developed and evaluated

methods for measuring contaminants

in sediment interstitial water. Evaluated the role of acid volatile sulfide

(AVS) in binding with metals in

sediments.

• Risk Assessment: Developed method

for characterizing risk of tropospheric ozone to regional vegetation

in the U.S. Characterized risk of

global climate change to forests and

forest production.

• Hazard Assessment: Quantified and

related PAY-DNA adducts (biomarkers) in rodent tissue to tumorigenic

potential in terms of time course and

dose relationships. Synthesized and

chemically characterized DNA adduct standards for alachlor herbicide.

Performed research to advance understanding and interpretation of

structure-activity relationship-based

approaches, bacterial mutation assays, in vitro mammalian assays, and

cytogenetic assays.

• Dose Response Relationships: Developed method using 18O to derive

data to assess species-dependent

dosimetry of ozone and trace the

product of its oxidant interaction

with biological material. Demonstrated through mechanistic studies

that the difference in rat and human

sensitivity is due to clinical conditions (exercise during sampling) and

that under similar conditions remarkable homology of response exists

between humans and animals over a

range of concentrations and durations.

• Biologically Based Dose Response

Models: Developed model that predicts the proportion of individuals

responding adversely to ozone exposure as a function of ozone concentration and exposure duration.

Validated the immortalized human

airway epithelial cell line BEAS23

for use in studies of air pollutants.

• Hazard Identification: Developed

animal models to evaluate chemicals

for their effects on cognitive function. Developed procedures for assessing sensory function in studies

involving humans exposed to environmental chemicals.

• Endocrine Disruption: Developed

• Ecosystem protection and restoration

• Technology transfer

Information follows about the focus of

NRMRL’s research programs, ongoing and

planned research activities, and the organization of NRMRL within EPA’s Office of

Research and Development.

Protection of Drinking Water

There are nearly 200,000 community water

systems in the U.S. Over 40% of these

communities use ground water as their

source of drinking water. NRMRL research

evaluates technology to meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act and

to provide methods for predicting the movement and fate of contaminants in ground

water.

Current research highlights methods to control risks in treatment and distribution systems. Treatment studies assess removal of

contaminants by techniques such as membrane filtration. Studies assess controls for

disease-causing microbes. NRMRL has also

developed a computer model to predict

water quality in complex distribution systems.

Control of Air Pollution

Air pollution is a high risk to human health

and the environment. NRMRL researchers

evaluate technologies to control sources of

criteria air pollutants, to reduce emissions

of contaminants, to control indoor air pollutants, and to control industrial emissions

of toxic air pollutants.

Researchers predict the formation of chlorinated dioxins from combustion sources.

These findings have led to a patented sorbent injection process that limits dioxin

formation.

Working with industrial partners, NRMRL

researchers have found chemicals to replace

ozone-depleting chemicals. Two replaceMission

The National Risk Management Research

Laboratory (NRMRL) conducts research

into ways to prevent and reduce risks from

pollution that threaten human health and

the environment. The laboratory investigates

methods and their cost-effectiveness for preventing and controlling pollution to air,

land, water, and subsurface resources; protection of water quality in public water

systems; remediation of contaminated sites,

sediments and ground water; prevention and

control of indoor air pollution; and restoration of ecosystems. The goal of this research

is to promote the development of environmental technologies; develop scientific and

engineering information to support regulatory and policy decisions; and provide the

technical support and information transfer

to ensure implementation of environmental

regulations and strategies at the national and

community levels. In addition, NRMRL collaborates with private sector partners to

foster technologies to reduce the cost of

compliance and to anticipate emerging problems.

Research

NRMRL headquarters are in Cincinnati,

Ohio. NRMRL research facilities are in

Cincinnati, Ohio; Research Triangle Park,

North Carolina; Ada, Oklahoma; and

Edison, New Jersey. A Technology Coordination Office for NRMRL is in Washington, D.C. NRMRL has a staff of 386. Of

these, 251 are scientists and engineers. The

base fiscal year 1997 research budget totals

$52 million. The research program is focused in six key areas:

• Protection of drinking water

• Control of air pollution

• Pollution prevention and economic

analysis

• Remediation of contaminated media
64

ments tested in EPA laboratories are being

considered for use by the Navy in shipboard chillers.

Pollution Prevention and

Economic Analysis

Pollution prevention research at NRMRL

helps establish methods and tools to use in

pollution prevention technologies. NRMRL

scientists have produced over 24 industryspecific and generic technology guides.

NRMRL engineers design software to allow other engineers to make process

changes that improve environmental performance.

NRMRL researchers have completed case

study evaluations of innovative prevention

technologies for over 75 manufacturing

operations. Research is underway now to

evaluate other innovative approaches, and

develop and apply cost effectiveness methods and data.

Remediation of Contaminated

Media

NRMRL conducts research to demonstrate

methods for remediating contaminated hazardous waste sites and leaking underground

storage tanks. Scientists are developing

models to assess fate, transport and transformation rates, and mechanisms in unsaturated soil profiles and saturated zones.

In situ remediation technologies potentially

represent the most cost-effective, lowest risk

options for many sites. Scientists use field

studies in bioremediation to examine remediation of nonaqueous phase liquids, reductive dechlorination of PCBs and other

chlorinated organics, soil bioventing of fuel

spills, and bioreduction of hexavalent chromium in ground water. EPA holds many of

these demonstrations in collaboration with

Department of Defense installations.

NRMRL cooperates with Monsanto, General Electric, and DuPont in “lasagna technology.” With this technology, the scientists

create layered zones for treatment of contaminants in situ. The process promises to

be more cost effective than traditional

methods and may enhance other in situ

methods. Field trials are underway.

The largest component of the remediation

research program is the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program

(SITE). In this program, technology developers provide and operate their technologies at field sites, and EPA pays for an

intensive performance evaluation and reports the results widely. Since the program

began in 1986, innovative technologies at

remediation sites have increased from 25%

to over 50% of the technologies selected.

A recent study of remediation costs at 17

sites where innovative technologies are

being used has shown that the use of SITEevaluated technologies has saved nearly

$360 million over conventional remediation

approaches.

NRMRL also conducts research on methods and technologies to treat contaminated

sediments. Dredged sediments are often

treated as hazardous waste materials; inplace sediments are treated as part of ecosystem restoration technologies.

Ecosystem Protection and

Restoration

NRMRL conducts research to develop and

demonstrate approaches and technologies to

protect and, as appropriate, restore damaged

ecosystems. Watersheds are the geographical units chosen for study and priority risk

problems include contaminated sediments,

nonpoint source pollution from wet weather

flows in urban and mixed land use watersheds, and regional impacts from cumulative stressors including climate change.

National Risk Management Research Laboratory (continued)
65

NRMRL scientists and engineers are developing watershed best management practices, in situ sediment remediation

technologies, urban storm water management approaches, and combined sewer overflow treatment and control systems. New

research has been initiated to develop methods to restore damaged ecosystems with

emphases on riparian zones and constructed

wetlands. Computer models and decision

support systems will be developed to assist

watershed managers and communities with

ecosystem management and restoration

projects.

Technology Transfer

A final NRMRL component is the dissemination of technical information. Informing

the regulated industry, regulatory and permitting officials, and environmental consultants about the latest advancements in

risk management approaches is vital to the

success of all of EPA’s programs.

NRMRL produces technical and nontechnical publications, software products, and

technical meetings. Recent projects have

included brochures on bioremediation and

stratospheric ozone depletion; manuals on

water and wastewater treatment for small

communities and on recycling and reuse of

materials found on Superfund sites; and

technical meetings on combined and sanitary sewer overflows. These publications

can be ordered by phone (513-569-7562),

fax (513-569-7566), or modem (dial in 513-

569-7610). Additionally, the ORD Internet

Home Page (http://www.epa.gov/ORD/) and

the Technology Transfer Home Page

(http://www.epa.gov/ttbnrmrl/ceri.htm)

linked to the U.S. EPA Home Page

(http://www.epa.gov/) can now be accessed

to get the latest information about ORD and

NRMRL research products.
