 Executive order 12291 requires the

 develop and organize information  on
 benefits, costs, and economic impacts so
 as to clarify trade-offs among alternative
 regulatory options. This paper outlines
 explicit methodology for assessing the
 technical potential for risk - risk trade-
 offs. The strategies used to cope with
 complexities and uncertainties in
 developing the Disinfection By- Products

 plained. Results are presented and
 discussed in light of uncertainties,  and in
 light of the analytical requirements for

 EPA Perspective

 Center: No. 198D

 The U.S. Environmental Protection
 Agency (EPA) is developing national
 regulations to control for disinfectants
 and disinfection by-products (D/DBPs)
 in public drinking water supplies. A
 fundamental goal in setting any new
 regulation is to be able to conclude with
 confidence that the resultant changes in
 treatment would  lead to a significant
 overall decrease in risk to public health.
 This paper describes the analysis that the
 EPA is undertaking in pursuit of meeting
 this goal.

On April 19-20, 1990, the U.S. EPA held
a workshop to discuss current risk
assessment methodologies as part of the
biannual meeting of the Federal-State
Toxicology and Regulatory Alliance
Committee. This workshop fostered a
discussion among federal and state
representatives regarding the risk
assessment process and the problems
encountered in carrying out that process.
This report summarizes the workshop's

Drinking Water Treatment Processes
(1992. 98p)S10.00
Educational Resources Information
Center: No. 203 D

For the development of the Disinfectant/
Disinfection By-Product rule, EPA
wishes to compare human health risks
from microbial infection with those
from chemical disinfectants and their by-
products. EPA is using computer models
that simulate occurrence levels of
pathogenic organisms in raw water and
then simulate  disinfection and produc-
tion of disinfection by-products. This
paper presents the methodology used for
these simulations and  estimations and
discusses the assumptions and uncertain-
ties inherent to this modeling process.

 The U.S. EPA has undertaken an effort
 to model how the water supply industry
 may respond to possible rules and how
 those responses may affect human health
 risk. This model is referred to as
 DBPRAM - the Disinfection By-Product
 Regulatory Analysis Model.  This paper
 is concerned primarily with presenting
 and  discussing the methods, underlying
 data, assumptions, limitations, and
 results for the first part of the DBPRAM.

 This document characterizes the feasibil-

 costs for treatment alternatives that can
 then be used by utilities to meet national

 The Water Treatment Plant Simulation
 Model was developed for the  EPA by

 Disinfectant/Disinfection By-Products
 Rule. The primary purpose of the
 program is to simulate the removal of
 natural organic matter, the formation of
 disinfection by-products, and  disinfec-
 tion levels in water treatment plants and
 distribution systems, based upon
 specified inputs including raw water
 quality,  treatment process characteristics
 and chemical dosages.  A User's Manual
