Description
Excerpt: This document was prepared in support of the 1996-2002 Six-Year Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water with James Taft as Targeting and Analysis Branch Chief during the course of the review. Judy Lebowich served as EPA co-team lead for the Six-Year Review and as the Work Assignment Manager for the development of this document. At different times throughout the process, Marc Parrotta and Wynne Miller have also served as co-team leads for the project. The Six-Year Review Work Group consists of representatives of the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, the Office of Science and Technology, the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Pesticide Programs, the Office of Research and Development, the Office of Policy, Economics and Innovation, the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and EPA Regions I, V, VII, IX, and X. Work Group members provided technical guidance throughout. The National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC) and many stakeholders provided valuable advice to improve the review process and this document. The Cadmus Group, Inc., served as the prime contractor for developing this document.
