Abstract |
This package contains background documents illustrating the rationale of a working list of nonambiguous compounds which are derived from Appendix A. These materials are generally referred to as priority pollutants. The priority pollutants are specific compounds. The Agency has established this unambiguous list of 129 compounds (including those specific compounds named in the consent decree), which it believes fulfills the requirements of the court order and can be analytically determined. Moreover, these memoranda reflect the comments and suggestions made by an Advisory Committee of NRDC (as well as EPA's concerns). |
