Goodwin suffered a mild heart attack in December. 1975, and he Is just now returning to pare time work. Hr. George Walsh Is serving as temporary Director. Mr. Walsh nocad the status of tne following studies: A* Coke Ovens: the support document has been revised and should be issued in March, 197$. ------ - Bfuse Combustion Units: A regulatory package is being prepared* --7* C. Coal Gasification Plants: The support document is now due May, 197$. D* Crushed Stone Plants: A regulatory package is being prepared. Z* Carbon Black Plants: The support document Is due in April, 1976, 7. Phosphate Rock & Lime Plants? Technical information will be reviewed with the Techniques Advisory Committee In March before preparation of a support document. 6. Various Hydrocarbon Sources CSurface Coatings. Drv Cleaning. Solvent Degreasing, etc.); Studies are underway on most, but it will be up to a year before support documents are completed* H.

Roborc Dinning at Monsantors Dayton Laboratory (513-268-3^11) to Uan the status of their contract with EPA to "continue the Koudry investigation". Dr. Banning described a program that goes beyond the original investigation by Houdry: A. The program's objective is to "assess the environmental Impact of multi-media emissions from a list .of smiry-gp, using common judgment criteria, in sufficient detail to enable EPA to determine the need for the development of control technology". B. The scope of work Includes investigating 600 sources in foul major categories; 11 Organic materials Inorganic materlala Open operations Combustion operations C. TheprSgfiflUEg fills tor an eight step evaluation of each sourea: 1. Select sources to be studied by using an evaluation modal that quantifies each of several environmental factors ' (e.g. emission levels, TLV of item, number of people exposed), tempered with "qualitative Judgments" (i.e. political pressure). 2. Prepare a work plan that identifies cost and time. 3. Collect current information and prepare preliminary evaluation document; send this to affected Industry. 4. Get EPA decision on whether a sampling program Is required. 5. Prepare a sampling plan. -- 6. Conduct Che field work*. Prepare a final draft of the environmental assessment document; distribute this for comments. Publish. This project is funded at $1.3 alllion/year, starting in April, 1975,) and continuing for three years. __________ I______ ----^ AP00037013 Emission Standard* and Criteria Task Force .lupj.u 1/19/76 ?age 3 II.
