Technical support for the EPA cleanup rule on radioactively contaminated sites
Hull, H.B.; Newman, A.; Wolbarst, A.B.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a radiation site cleanup regulation for the protection of the public from radionuclide contamination at sites that are to be cleaned up and released for public use. The regulation will apply to sites under the control of Federal agencies, and to sites licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or NRC Agreement States. The agency is therefore conducting a comprehensive technical analysis aimed at developing information that will be used to support the rule. This presentation describes the regulation and the approach developed to determine how radiological health impacts and volumes of soil requiring remediation vary as functions of the possible cleanup dose or risk level.
Lenders get break in EPA final rule on underground storage tanks
EPA has issued a final rule that limits the liability of financial institutions and others that lead money based on properties with underground storage tanks (USTs). This article describes the reasoning behind the rule and the highpoints of the actual rule itself.
Inside story on the legal challenge to EPA`s municipal waste combustor rule: The mouse that roared, Round 1
Jenkins, L.S.
An article in the Deseret News, one of two general circulation newspapers in Salt Lake City, Utah, dated December 13, 1996, reported that {open_quotes}David{close_quotes} took on {open_quotes}Goliath{close_quotes} and won. The article referred to the Davis County Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special Service District`s (the {open_quotes}District{close_quotes}) victory on its challenge to the EPA`s municipal waste combustor rules. On December 6, 1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the EPA violated the plain language of Section 129 of the Clean Air Act, when it wrote size categories for municipal waste combustors ({open_quotes}MWCs{close_quotes}) based on aggregate plant capacity, rather than unit capacity. The District argued that Congress divided the universe of MWC units into two categories: those with unit capacities above 250 tons per day, and those with unit capacities equal to or less than 250 tons per day. The EPA, however, had set the dividing line at 248 tons per day aggregate plant capacity in its municipal waste combustor rule. The Court said this was wrong. The Deseret News report certainly echoed the feelings of the District. Those of you familiar with the EPA, the process of judicial review of administrative rule making, and the Biblical story of David and Goliath, however, will quickly see that this is not the best metaphor to describe what happened. When David slew Goliath, that was the end of Goliath. He didn`t get back up. Of course, that will not happen to the EPA in the Davis County case. Like an 800-pound gorilla, it will always get back up after being challenged by a mouse. This paper tells the story of the challenge to the MWC rule from the District`s perspective. The District has not been popular with either the EPA or many industry players. But, the District was faced with a real problem that, given the District`s location and the local economy, forced its hand in this case.
Methodologies for estimating emissions for the U.S. EPA's NOx SIP call, CER rule, and other complexities.
Majeed, M A
Emissions inventories play an important role in many air quality decisions, and the importance of obtaining correct emissions data challenges the emissions inventory community to continuously improve its estimation techniques. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires states with ozone nonattainment areas (NAAs) to submit periodically a comprehensive, accurate, and actual inventory of ozone precursor emissions until the areas are redesignated to attainment. They require the states with NAAs to report peak ozone season daily and annual estimates of the inventories for the counties that are in nonattainment. The recently proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) NO(x) SIP call and the Consolidating Emissions Reporting (CER) rule are more demanding still. The CER rule requires the states to report statewide point source inventories, 3-yr cycle inventories, and NO(x) SIP call inventories by county for all source types, regardless of the attainment status; the estimating periods are peak ozone season daily, 5-month ozone season, and annual estimates. Furthermore, complexities in emissions inventories such as estimating the emissions with different seasonal and multiple controls exist. These complexities and methodologies for estimating emissions for different time periods are not addressed sufficiently either by the EPA's procedure manuals or by the Emissions Inventory Improvement Program guidance documents. This paper presents methodologies for estimating emissions for different time periods and multiple controls. These methodologies will help the EPA, state, and local government agencies to meet the evolving demands of emissions inventories and the reporting requirements of the NO(x) SIP call and the CER rules.

U.S EPA science and technology efforts come under scrutiny
Two US. Congressional hearings in mid-March put the heat on some science and technology efforts of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). First, a March 22 House of Representatives Science Committee hearing focused on EPAs management of a ruling about sludge treatment and disposal. The hearing examined whether the agency has failed to foster sound science, while also allegedly harassing agency whistleblowers and some private citizens. Then, a March 23 House Science Subcommittee hearing scrutinized the fiscal year 2001 budget authorization request for EPAs science and technology budget.

Treatment of mixed F006 contaminated material to meet the new EPA debris rule at the Savannah River Site
Pickett, J.B.; Diener, G.A.; Carroll, S.J.; Steingard, J.M.
The Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), as the operating contractor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) has demonstrated a procedure to clean mixed (radioactive/hazardous) materials to meet the criteria in the recently promulgated Land Disposal Restrictions debris'' rule. The material was equipment (steel piping, transfer pumps valves) which had been used in industrial wastewater treatment facility to transfer listed F006 wastewater treatment plating line sludges to a RCRA storage tank complex. When the equipment needed to be replaced/repaired, it was concluded that the resulting debris would have to be managed as a mixed waste, due to the fact that the solid waste contained'' the listed hazardous waste.
