| 97-26433 | Announcement of the Draft Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List | Notice | The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of contaminants which, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulation (NPDWR), that are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems and which may require regulations under the SDWA [section 1412(b)(1)]. The SDWA, as amended, specifies EPA must publish the first list of contaminants (Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List, or CCL) not later than 18 months after the date of enactment, i.e., by February 1998, and every five years thereafter. The SDWA, as amended, also specifies that the CCL must be published after consultation with the scientific community, and after notice and opportunity for public comment. Today's notice announces the draft CCL, provides background on how it was developed, and seeks comment on various aspects of developing the final CCL. The CCL will be the source of priority contaminants for drinking water research, monitoring, guidance development, and for selection of candidates for drinking water regulation. The draft CCL includes 58 chemical and 13 microbiological contaminants. | 1997-10-06 | 1997 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/10/06/97-26433/announcement-of-the-draft-drinking-water-contaminant-candidate-list | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-10-06/pdf/97-26433.pdf | Justice Department; Environmental Protection Agency | 268,145 | The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of contaminants which, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking... |
