Three Branches
• The executive (the president, the federal bureaucracy, the military),
• The congress (house and senate) and the
• Courts (supreme and lower courts.)
• All are separate.
![Page 9: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Separation of Powers
• Unlike most parliamentary democracies
• Majority power votes the prime minister and cabinet
• Courts often separate
• But often can final appeal back to the parliament
![Page 10: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• The congress makes the laws,
• The executive enforces the laws, and the
• Courts interpret the laws.
• Most states have similar constitutions and division of government into branches.

Consider Laws by Branches
• Judicial
• Legislative
• Executive

Regulations
• The Congress delegates to an agency (in the Executive Branch) the authority to make certain laws.
• Often those requiring technical details
• According to certain procedures
![Page 16: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Genesis of Agency
• Some are created directly by congress– Specific statute– “enabling legislation”– cf. original cabinet duties
• Or Agency formed by Executive Branch– of earlier authorized smaller agencies
![Page 17: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Powers Limited
• Legislative– Only the laws (called rules) that are permitted
by the enabling legislation– Must strictly conform to that legislation
• Judicial– All decisions may be appealed to courts– Deference
![Page 18: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rule (Law) Making
• Must conform to the Administrative Procedures Act– exactly
• (State similar)
• http://touchngo.com/lglcntr/akstats/Statutes/Title44/Chapter62.htm
![Page 19: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Federal APA
• Informal “Rule Making”• AKA “notice and comment”• Used unless statute says otherwise• No formal public hearing• No formal records of hearing or comments• (But often both are kept)• All parties don’t know what is going on
– One might submit incorrect data, others would not know
![Page 20: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Formal
• Must have public hearings
• Must keep records– transcripts
![Page 21: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Process
• Often starts with consultation with affected parties– semi-public meetings
• Other input, perhaps in-house
• Priorities
• “Housekeeping”
![Page 22: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Federal Register
• http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html – today’s FR– or menu at left for “browse”
• http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/browse.html • Many items do not need to be published,
but….• As a practical matter, agencies avoid
secrecy, even if it is allowed.
![Page 23: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
After FR
• Within deadline
• Comment received
• Pubic hearing held– if required
• Rule is redrafted– if major, need to start cycle over with new FR
![Page 24: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rule
• Rule is “promulgated” by agency
• Next it is “codified” with number
• Goes into the Code of Federal Regulations
![Page 25: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Digress to Statute
• Note CFR Titles are not same as Statute Titles• http://www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html• Endangered Species Act• PL 93-205• Codified in Title 16, Conservation
– Under 7, 15, 33, 42, 43 as well
• Chapter 35• Sections [ § ] 1531 to 1535

• http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html • Starts with Titles
– Administrative agencies in charge of a title– Title 40 = EPA
• Volumes and Chapters not prominent now• Parts• PART 60--STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR
NEW STATIONARY SOURCES

Courts and Regulations
• Immediately after promulgation
• Bring to court to have invalidated, or
• Break the new law
• Go through the hearing process– Usually start with Administrative hearing in
agency
![Page 30: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Executive
• Appointed by President
• May be within a cabinet “Department”
• Federal Aviation Administration in the Department of Transportation.
![Page 31: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How many Agencies
• Over 100
• May be “executive” or “independent”
• Independent is usually a “commission” with a board and chair.– deep scope over narrow industry– Securities and Exchange Commission– Rates, licenses, etc.
![Page 32: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EPA
• Environmental Protection Agency– Independent Agency
– 1970
– Absorbed functions of older agencies
• http://www.epa.gov • http://www.epa.gov/epahome/organization.htm• http://www.epa.gov/epahome/locate1.htm • http://www.epa.gov/epahome/locate2.htm
![Page 33: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Science v. Law
• Science: Investigates and attempts to explain natural phenomena. It is cautious, incremental, and truth seeking.
• Government regulation: Seeks to affect human behavior and settle human disputes. It is episodic and preemptory and seeks resolution rather than truth.
![Page 34: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Government regulators are often forced to intervene, and make a decision before knowledge is complete.
• American regulation is bound up in the concept of "rule of law." – Not negotiation between affected parties– Must have a “bright line”
![Page 35: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
– American regulation must make rules based on the legislative intent and must explain the reasons or facts that form a basis for these rules.
– This allows opponents of the rules numerous opportunities to contest facts.
– Often the facts are weak and both sides have great opportunities to construe what facts there are in a manner suitable to their case.
– This forces the regulators to defend their decisions based on the weak facts and sometimes "distort the current knowledge," often by putting more weight on evidence that the underlying science can bear.
![Page 36: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• "The statute laws often describe a desirable social outcome, and may demand more of science that it can provide."
• [Material above and quotes from the Regulatory Toxicology chapter by Richard Merill in Casarett and Doull's Toxicology.]
![Page 37: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Guidance Documents
• Such a laboratory procedures• Often a consensus standard put together by experts
in the field and provide minimum standards for many investigations.
• Since the guidance documents are not law, other reasonable procedures may be substituted but, as a practical matter, the standard methods are often really a requirement, rather than guidance.
• May inhibit innovation and progress– vendors
![Page 38: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Burden of Proof
• Who has the responsibly for demonstrating a substance is harmful or safe?
• Established by the statute. – food additives, the manufactures must prove they are
safe before they are put in food.
– OSHA must demonstrate that a substance is harmful before its use is restricted.
• How about EPA?– Many different statutes
![Page 39: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Risk Allowed
• Some laws specify no risk is allowed. – Any chemical that causes cancer in laboratory animals
is not permitted as a food additive.
• A negligible risk will permitted– A 1 in one million increase in cancer rate is considered
negligible.
• Tradeoff approaches. – Often use the word "feasible," which implies risk is
permitted, if it is economically impractical to remove or reduce the risk.
![Page 40: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Take Home Ideas
• Many practical engineering decisions governed by regulations
• Regulations are made by an agency, but must conform to the intent of a statute law
• Regulations (“rules”) are promulgated by a definite process defined by law.
• FR, CFR• Laws and Regulations are not “science”

RCRA & CIRCLA
• CERCLA 1980– "superfund law." – Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act,– Overhauled in 1986 by SARA
• Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
![Page 43: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• RCRA 1976– Resource Conservation and Recovery Act– Modified in 1984 by the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments (HSWA)
• RCRA is the "hazardous waste law." It provides cradle to grave control of hazardous waste
![Page 44: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
RCRA
• Subtitle D– Municipal Solid Waste
• Subtitle C– Hazardous Waste
![Page 45: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
RCRA Law
• A solid waste - or a combination of solid wastes - that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, may:
• Cause, or significantly contribute to, an increase in mortality or an increase in a serious irreversible illness, or incapacitating, reversible illness; or
• Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed.
![Page 46: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Hazardous?
• Many definitions, lists, etc.
• CWA 40CFR116.4• Many others: CAA, OSHA, • RCRA has two methods
![Page 47: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Listed Wastes
• U Wastes - discarded commercial products, off-specification chemicals, and container and spill residues of commercial chemical products.
• P Wastes - Same as U wastes except these are classified as acutely hazardous due to their acute toxicity or reactivity.
![Page 49: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

RCRA v. CERCLA
• RCRA usually deals with current or ongoing pollution events and usually there is some sort of viable economic entity that is responsible and heavily involved.
• CERCLA usually deals with past events, sometimes long ago, and either there is not an economically viable entity available, or finding that entity, and making them pay, is part of the process.
![Page 52: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Exposure Point Concentration
![Page 86: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
C = Concentration of chemical in medium (i.e., mg of Z / L of water, or mg of Z / kg of beansCR = Contact rate with medium, or the amount of medium contacted per period of time (i.e., L of water drank / day, or kg of beans eaten / day.)EF = Exposure frequency, or how often the medium is contacted (days of contact / calendar year)ED = Exposure duration, or how long the exposure (contact with the contaminant) occurs ( years until receptor moves away, or years until contaminant disappears)BW = Body weight of receptor (kg, default to 70 kg for adults)AT = Averaging time (days) if we are considering carcinogenic effects of chemical Z, the AT is 365 days / year times 70 years.

Here is the result of an animal study of the carcinogenic chemical Z. This study used 1400 rats and fed them Z each day for two years, then killed the animals and examined them for tumors. The study used 100 males and 100 female rats at each of six doses plus an unexposed control group. The study cost $1,400,000.
![Page 88: ENVE 441 Dr. Robert A. Perkins, PE ffrap@uaf.edu](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b941fa/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
At the lowest dose tested, 10 mg / kg day, the study found 2% of the rats had tumors - 3 males and one female. If you are doing a risk assessment in anticipation of using chemical Z in toothpaste, what sort of risk would you be comfortable with? 1 tumor in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000? If we knew the dose of Z that produced tumors in one of 100,000 rats, we could work backwards and estimate how much Z can safely be put in toothpaste. How many rats would you need? How about 800,000, I'd guess. That would be 100,000 males and that many females in each of four groups. With some economy of scale, you might treat them for $500 each, then the testing would cost only $400,000,000.

Besides the obvious practical problem, money, space, time, and finding enough pathologists to perform necropsies on 800,000 rats, there are several theoretical problems. As you move to lower and lower doses, the curve flattens out and large changes in dose result in small changes in effect. Lower doses are inherently more difficult to measure and analyze.

We just stretch a straight line from the lowest data point we have, 2% at 10 mg/kg-day, to 0% at 0 dose. (We converted from a log to a arithmetical axis.) From here it is easy to compute the dose that could cause a tumor in 1 out of 100,000 male rats. It would be :

Baseline Risk Assessment
• Consider each receptor type• Compute Exposure Point Concentration• Determine Intake• Calculate Slope Factor
– May be different for each route• Apply SF to Intake to determine Risk. May add risks from
routes, and chemicals to determine risk of not cleaning up site.
• Later you will compute the same if the site is cleaned up. • (Cannot add carcinogen risk and non-carcinogen)
