Safe Drinking Water Act 25th Anniversary--Futures Forum;
``Research 2025''; Public Meeting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is holding a public meeting on June 14th, 1999, beginning
at 8:30 am. at the Hilton Crystal City, 2399 Jefferson Davis Highway,
Arlington, VA 22202 for the purpose of information exchange with
stakeholders and the general public to discuss the research needs of
the national drinking water program. The deliberations will be guided
by four questions:
1. What science and research are necessary to achieve public health
objectives, satisfy SDWA standards for sound science, and meet
statutory requirements and deadlines in the areas of health effects,
treatment and distribution systems, exposure, analytical methods and
special issues (i.e., sensitive subpopulations, mixtures)?
2. What level of research investment is adequate to address near
and long term needs?
3. What is the most efficient, effective and timely combination of
public and private efforts to undertake, coordinate and manage the
necessary drinking water research and data collections?
4. If there is a gap between programmatic research needs and
available resources, what is the best way for EPA and interested
stakeholders to decide on priorities?
EPA is inviting all interested members of the public to participate
in the meeting. As with all previous meetings in this process, to the
extent that is available, EPA is instituting an open door policy to
allow any member of the public to attend any of the meetings for any
length of time. Seats will be available on a first-come, first served
basis.
