SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The
CCL
serves
as
the
primary
source
of
priority
contaminants
for
research
and
regulatory
evaluations
for
the
Agency's
drinking
water
program.
The
list
is
comprised
of
both
chemical
and
microbial
contaminants
that
are
known
or
anticipated
to
occur
in
public
water
systems,
that
may
have
adverse
health
effects,
and
which,
at
the
time
of
publication,
are
not
subject
to
any
proposed
or
promulgated
National
Primary
Drinking
Water
Regulations.
EPA
has
formed
a
CCL
Classification
Process
Work
Group
of
the
National
Drinking
Water
Advisory
Council
(
NDWAC)
to
help
the
Agency
in
developing
a
new
risk
based
priority
setting
process
based
upon
the
recommendations
made
by
the
National
Research
Council
(
NRC)
in
its
2001
report.
The
work
group
is
comprised
of
21
recognized
technical
experts
representing
an
array
of
backgrounds
and
perspectives
who
are
as
impartial
and
objective
as
possible.
The
work
group
is
charged
with
discussing,
evaluating,
and
providing
advice
on
methodologies,
activities,
and
analysis
needed
to
implement
the
NRC
recommendations
on
an
expanded
approach
for
the
CCL
listing
process.
This
may
include
advice
on
developing
and
identifying:
(
1)
Overall
implementation
strategy;
(
2)
prototype
classification
methodology,
classification
attributes
and
criteria
that
should
to
be
used;
(
3)
pilot
projects
to
validate
new
classification
approaches;
(
4)
demonstration
studies
that
explore
the
feasibility
of
the
VFAR
(
Virulance­
Factor
Activity
Relationships)
approach;
(
5)
risk
communication
issues;
and
(
6)
additional
issues
not
addressed
in
the
NRC
report.
The
work
group
has
held
three
meetings
thus
far:
September
18
 
19,
2002,
December
16
 
17,
2002,
and
February
5
 
6,
2003.
The
September
meeting
was
devoted
to
gaining
understanding
of
the
NRC
recommendations
from
the
invited
members
of
the
NRC
panel,
identifying
questions,
issues
and
technical
expertise
needed
to
fulfill
its
charge,
and
planning
next
steps.
During
subsequent
meetings,
the
work
group
formed
three
activity
groups
for
small
group
discussions
each
containing
4
 
8
members.
The
three
activity
groups
are:
Data
Activity
Group,
Methods
Activity
Group,
and
VFAR
Activity
Group.
Each
group
holds
several
conference
calls
for
group
discussions
in
between
the
plenary
meetings.
The
work
group
has
discussed
the
methods
and
data
to
be
used
for
selecting
contaminants
for
the
CCL,
and
the
VFAR
concept
and
how
the
concept
can
be
included
in
the
CCL
classification
process.
In
addition,
the
work
group
has
developed
the
groups's
guiding
principles
and
work
plan
and
identified
additional
technical
needs.
The
meetings
are
open
to
the
public
for
observation
purposes
only.
Statements
from
the
public
will
be
allowed
at
the
close
of
each
meeting
day.
EPA
is
not
soliciting
written
comments
and
is
not
planning
to
formally
respond
to
comments.
