Full Description

This collection of lists, the slides that accompanied a conference presentation, list old and new criteria that EPA uses in a number of areas of decision making. Three areas are covered: identifying and selecting contaminants for regulation, risk management, and gaining small system compliance. The author first lists the old decision making criteria, then lists the new. For example, under Identifying and Selecting Contaminants for Regulation the old criteria are listed: (1) SDWA requires 83 MCLs' and then 25 more every 3 years; (2) EPA collects information on contaminants in source water and drinking water; and (3) considers the potential for releases of contaminants. Then the new paradigms are listed: (1) redesign and conduct federal surveys; (2) require reporting of parametric data on both regulated and unregulated contaminants; (3) use TRI, STORNET, EMAP, and other databases; (4) establish national database for storing and identifying data; and so forth.
