Solution: A search in OCLC turned up no records for this author and title. Seeing the report number in the citation is and recognizing that it is from the EPA, the next place to check is Government Reports Annual Index, the index to NTIS materials. The 1993 report number index did not contain this report number, but the 1994 report number index did. (Always remember to check a year or two after the supposed date of publication).
