Office of Enforcement. Dec 94 1 diskette The easy-to-use ABEL software evaluates for-profit company claims of inability to afford penalties, clean-up costs, or compliance costs. ABEL is a tool that promotes quick settlements by performing screening analyses of defendants and potentially responsible parties to determine their financial capacity. If ABEL indicates the firm can afford the full penalty, compliance or clean-up costs, then EPA makes no adjustments for inability to pay. If it indicates that the firm cannot afford the full amount, it directs the enforcement personnel to review other financial reports before making any adjustments. After analyzing some basic financial ratios that reflect a company's solvency, ABEL assesses the firm's ability to pay by focusing on projected cash flows. The model explicitly calculates the value of projected, internally generated cash flows from historical tax information, and compares these cash flows to the proposed environmental expenditures.

BEN is not limited to just environmental regulations; rather, it is a cost analysis model that presents savings from delaying or avoiding any expenditures. Users are taken through a series of prompts to enter specified costs including initial capital investments, nondepreciable expenditures, annual expenses, dates of compliance and noncompliance, date of penalty payment, useful life of pollution control equipment, income tax rates, inflation rate, and discount rate. The savings from not paying are then calculated. Specification* System: DOS operating system. Requires 232K of hard drive space. Is menu driven.

DNAPL Site Evaluation GeoTrans, Inc , Sterling, VA Sponsored by Robert S Kerr Environmental Research Lab., Ada, OK. Feb93363p Dense nonaqueous-phase liquids, especially chlorinated solvents, are among the most prevalent subsurface contaminants identified in ground water supplies and at waste disposal sites. There are several site- characterization issues specific to DNAPL sites including: (a) the risk of inducing DNAPL migration by drilling, pumping or other field activities; (b) the use of special sampling and measurement methods to assess DNAPL presence and migration potential; and (c) development of a cost-effective characterization strategy that accounts for DNAPL chemical transport processes, the risk of inducing DNAPL movement during field work, and the data required to select and implement a realistic remedy. This manual provides information to address these issues and describes and evaluates activities that can be used to determine the presence, fate and transport of subsurface DNAPL contamination.

Office of Emergency and Remedial Response Jan 92 Up The presence of Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids in soils and aquifers can control the ultimate success or failure of remediation at a hazardous waste site. Because of the complex nature of DNAPL transport and fate, however, DNAPL may often be undetected by direct methods, leading to incomplete site assessments and inadequate remedial designs. This guide for estimating the potential for DNAPL occurrence was developed to help site personnel determine if DNAPL-based characterization strategies should be employed at a particular site.

Presumptive Remedies - Policy and Procedures Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. Sep93Sp The objective of the presumptive remedies initiative is to use the program's past experience to streamline site investigations and speed up selection of cleanup actions. Over time, presumptive remedies are expected to ensure consistency in remedy selection and reduce the cost and time required to clean up similar types of sites. Presumptive remedies are expected to be used at all appropriate sites except under unusual site-specific circumstances. EPA plans to develop a series of directives on presumptive remedies for various types of sites. This directive serves as an overall guide to the presumptive remedies initiative and its effect on site cleanup. Through a question and answer format, it explains, in general terms, ways in which presumptive remedies will streamline or change the remedial and removal processes from the conventional processes and how certain Superfund policies will be affected by the initiative.

This permits the computation of health-based soil remediation levels given target risk levels or assessment of human health risk given soil concentrations. CalTOX is an extension of the process described in the Human Health Evaluation Manual that is part of the Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. RAGS provides equations for estimating theoretical human health risk from known chemical concentrations in air, water, soil and food that are inhaled, ingested or dermally contacted. CalTOX extends RAGS in three ways. First, CalTOX relates the chemical concentration in the contacted air, water, soil and food to chemical concentrations in contaminated soil. Second, CalTOX treats uncertainty differently than RAGS. CalTOX will present a range of risks or health- based soil target cleanup levels that reflect the uncertainty/variability of these estimates. Third, CalTOX is implemented in a computer spreadsheet that makes it easier to use, yet remains open to inspection.

Using this set of criteria, high priority industries were selected from a Standard Industry Classification-based list for investigation of the need or opportunity for waste reduction through source reduction and/or material recycle. A final list consisting of 17 industries was identified. In addition, the investigation identified a list of generic research or technological needs where industry contacts believed research could lead to waste minimization applicable to more than one industry. Since the start of the project, the EPA initiated the industrial toxics project (also known as the 33/ 50) that identifies 17 high priority contaminants on the Toxics Releases Inventory for voluntary reductions by the companies generating the waste.

Data Quality Objectives Decision Error Feasibility Trials (DEFT) Beta Version 1.01. User's Guide Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC Office of Emergency and Remedial Response 2 Aug 93 9p One of the most intensive steps in the data quality objectives process is the final step, optimize the design. During this step, the entire set of DQO outputs are incorporated into a sampling design. If the DQO constraints are not feasible, it may be necessary to iterate through one or more of the earlier steps of the DQO process to identify a sampling design that will meet the budget and generate data that are adequate for the decision. The proposed PC package should reduce the intensiveness of this step by allowing a decision maker or member of the DQO planning team to generate information about several simple sampling designs based on the DQO constraints. Through this process, the decision maker can evaluate whether these constraints are appropriate or feasible before the sampling and analysis design team begins identifying a sampling design.

Ground Water and Contamination Eastern Research Group, Inc , Arlington, MA Prepared in cooperation with Western Michigan Univ., Kalamazoo, and Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater. Sponsored by Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH. Center for Environmental Research Information Sep 90 152p The subsurface environment of ground water is characterized by a complex interplay of physical, geochemical and biological forces that govern the release, transport and fate of a variety of chemical substances. The impact of natural ground water recharge and discharge processes on distributions of chemical constituents is understood for only a few types of chemical species. Also, these processes may be modified by both natural phenomena and man's activities so as to further complicate apparent spatial or temporal trends in water quality. This document discusses measures that can be taken to ensure that uncertainties do not undermine the ability to make reliable predictions about the response of contamination to various corrective or preventive measures. It also brings together available technical information in a form convenient for ground-water personnel within EPA and state and local governments on whom EPA ultimately depends for proper ground water management.
