fundamental goal in setting any new

treatment would lead to a significant
overall decrease in risk to public health.
This paper describes the analysis that the

For the development of the Disinfectant/

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-

paper presents the methodology used for
these simulations and estimations and
discusses the assumptions and uncertain-

The Water Treatment Plant Simulation
Model was developed for the EPA by
Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. in support of the
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
is also available (Water Treatment Plant
