II. Background 

Legionella is a bacterium commonly 

found in aquatic environments. It grows 

best in warm water environments and 

can be found in premise plumbing in 

large buildings, hot tubs, hot water 

tanks, decorative fountains, large 

plumbing systems (such as might be 

found in hospitals) and cooling towers. 

People who breathe in a mist or vapor 

that has been contaminated with 

Legionella can contract Legionnaire’s 

disease or Pontiac fever (both referred to 

as legionellosis). Legionellosis is a major 

health concern associated with drinking 

water. Cases of legionellosis and 

fatalities have been associated with the 

occurrence of Legionella in building 

water systems. In response to the threat 

to public health, some building owners 

have installed supplemental treatment 

systems to prevent and control for 

Legionella. Some states have requested 

technical assistance from EPA with 

regards to evaluating effectiveness of 

control technologies. The agency 

expects the final document will help to 

further improve public health by 

helping states, building owners and 

operators make science-based, risk 

management decisions regarding 

treatment and control of Legionella in 

buildings. 

III. How will the Agency finalize the 

document? 

Through this notice, EPA is 

announcing an opportunity for the 

public to provide input on the draft 

document in writing and/or verbally at 

the public meeting and webinar. EPA 

will conduct an independent, expert 

peer review following the public review 

and comment period. 

Comments from the public and 

external peer reviewers will be 

considered as EPA finalizes the 

document. 

IV. What input is the Agency seeking 

from the public? 

The Agency is particularly interested 

in input from the public related to the 

following questions: 

1. How well does the document 

accurately characterize the available, 

peer reviewed literature on the 

effectiveness of different technologies 

for control of Legionella? 

2. What is your perspective on 

whether the characterization of each 

technology is balanced and supported 

by the available, peer reviewed 

scientific information? 

3. What suggestions do you have to 

improve the document so that it can 

better support informed public health 

protection decisions and avoid or 

minimize unintended consequences?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit filed by the Plaintiffs 

seeking to compel EPA to take actions 

required under CAA section 110(k)(2)– 

(4). The Plaintiffs’ lawsuit alleged that 

EPA has a mandatory duty to take final 

action to approve or disapprove, in

attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.

complete by operation of law on August 

13, 2013. Section 110(k)(2) requires EPA 

to take action on a SIP submission 

within one year of the date it is 

complete. The Plaintiffs allege that EPA 

had a mandatory duty to take action on 

the submission by August 13, 2014. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, EPA must take final 

action no later than March 15, 2016,
