Best Management Practices for 

Unused Pharmaceuticals at Health 

Care Facilities 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is requesting public 

comments on a draft guidance 

document entitled, Best Management 

Practices for Unused Pharmaceuticals at 

Health Care Facilities. The guidance is 

targeted at hospitals, medical clinics, 

doctors’ offices, long-term care facilities 

and veterinary facilities. EPA expects 

that this document will help reduce the 

amount of pharmaceuticals that are 

discharged to water bodies. 

DATES: EPA requests comments on or 

before November 8, 2010. Comments 

received after this date may not be 

incorporated into the final guidance 

document. 

ADDRESSES: EPA prefers receiving 

comments by e-mail. Please send e-mail 

comments to unusedpharms@epa.gov 

and include your name and 

organizational affiliation, if any. You 

may also send comments by postal mail 

to Meghan Hessenauer, Engineering and 

Analysis Division (4303T), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Pharmaceuticals are being discovered in 

our Nation’s waters at very low 

concentrations. EPA has been studying 

unused pharmaceutical disposal 

practices at health care facilities, 

prompted by the concern that large 

amounts of pharmaceuticals are being 

flushed or disposed of down the drain, 

ultimately ending up in rivers, streams 

and coastal waters. 

The Agency has drafted a guidance 

document for health care facilities, 

which describes: 

• Techniques for reducing or 

avoiding pharmaceutical waste; 

• Practices for identifying and 

managing types of unused 

pharmaceuticals; and 

• Applicable disposal regulations. 

The guidance is targeted at hospitals, 

medical clinics, doctors’ offices, longterm care facilities and veterinary 

facilities. EPA expects that this 

document will help reduce the amount 

of pharmaceuticals that are discharged 

to water bodies. 

The document is available on EPA’s 

Web site at http://water.epa.gov/scitech/ 

wastetech/guide/ 

unusedpharms_index.cfm. 

EPA has visited many facilities and 

consulted with organizations in the 

health care industry, as well as federal, 

state and local government agencies. 

EPA continues to solicit 

recommendations from a wide range of 

stakeholders and welcomes comments 

on the draft document. We plan to 

publish a final version of the document 

in late 2010.

ICLUS v1.3 User’s Manual: ArcGIS 

Tools and Datasets for Modeling U.S. 

Housing Density Growth 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 

the availability of a final Geographic 

Information System (GIS) tool and final 

user’s guide titled, ‘‘ICLUS v1.3 User’s 

Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for 

Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth’’ 

(EPA/600/R–09/143F). The tool and its 

documentation were prepared by the 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within EPA’s Office 

of Research and Development. The GIS 

tool can be used to modify land use 

scenarios for the conterminous United 

States. ICLUS stands for Integrated 

Climate and Land Use Scenarios, a 

project which is described in the 2009 

EPA Report, ‘‘Land-Use Scenarios: 

National-Scale Housing-Density 

Scenarios Consistent with Climate 

Change Storylines.’’ These scenarios are 

broadly consistent with global-scale, 

peer-reviewed storylines of population
