Water Issues in the Midwestern States
by: Bob CantaU,FTS 260-7571
    Ed Ohanian, FTS 260-7571

State and regional regulators met at the Region V facilities
in Chicago, Illinois, from November 6 to 8, 1991, for the
biannual Federal-State Toxicology and  Risk Assessment
Committee (FSTRAC) meeting. Over the course of 2 1/2
days,  the group discussed  water issues relevant in the
midwestern states, such as  fish consumption advisories,
pesticides in surface waters, and standard setting for ground-
water protection; state representatives also considered the
merits of taking taste and odor into account when setting
action levels  for gasoline and fuel oil  contamination of
drinking water, and the proposed standard for radon in
public water supplies.
FSTRAC is expanding its scope with the reorganization of
the Office of  Water to consider issues other than drinking
water contamination. Most of the state representatives and

some of the regional FSTRAC members work in areas other
than drinking water every day. Their experience will help
the Office of Water's Office of Science and Technology
begin to address other issues, such as developing method-
ologies for deriving ambient water, sediment, biological,
and wildlife criteria.

The FSTRAC Toxicology and Risk Assessment Subcom-
mittee formed a work group to develop an issues paper that
will consider methods for conducting risk assessments for
shorter-than-lifetime exposures to carcinogens.  The sub-
committee will also continue its successful teleconference
series with a session in February. A second issues paper or
strawman protocol developed by the Contaminant Policy
and Communications Subcommittee will help states in ad-
vising private well owners when contamination is found in
their water. FSTRAC members reviewed  a draft protocol
for responding to wellowners' requests for information (see

Risk Assessment Forum Update
by  Clare Stint, FTS 260-6743

The Risk Assessment Forum report, "Alphas-globulin: As-
sociation with Chemically Induced Renal Toxicity and
Neoplasia in the Male Rat," provides Agency-wide guid-
ance for evaluating renal  tubule tumors in the male rat
According to this forum report, risk assessment approaches
generally assume that a chemical producing tumors in labo-
ratory animals is a potential cancer hazard to humans. For
most chemicals, including many rodent kidney carcinogens,
this extrapolation remains appropriate. The report describes
scientific conditions, however, under which the Risk As-
sessment Forum advises EPA risk assessors against using
information on certain renal tubule tumors or nephrotoxicity
to assess human risk. In this situation, the chemical induces
accumulation of the protein alphas-globulin (alpha^-g) in
the proximal tubule of the male rat kidney, initiating a
sequence of events, specific to the male rat, that appears to
lead to renal  tubule tumor formation.  This  EPA  policy
against use of a particular animal tumor under certain
circumstances for risk assessment purposes is an important
departure from EPA's general approach to cancer risk as-
sessment

The forum report stresses the need for full scrutiny of a
substantial set of data to determine when it is reasonable to
presume that renal tumors  in male rats  are  linked to  a
process involving alpha^-g accumulation and to select ap-
propriate procedures for estimating human risks under such
circumstances. Details of the analysis can be found by
referring to the Risk Assessment Forum report.  •

On November 13 and 14,  1990, EPA's Risk Assessment
Forum assembled a peer review panel of experts to discuss
four major topics analyzed in a draft of the report, "Alphas-
globulin: Association with Chemically Induced Renal Tox-
icity and Neoplasia in the Male Rat" These subjects included
alpha^-g and nephrotoxicity, renal cancer, criteria for dis-
tinguishing renal carcinogens that induce alpha^-g accumu-
lation from other renal carcinogens, and risk characterization.
The workshop  report entitled "Report of the EPA Peer
Review Workshop on Alphas-globulin:  Association with
Renal Toxicity and Neoplasia in the Male Rat," highlights
                                    see Forum p. 4

Water (continued from p. 1)
Current Hot Issues, p. 3). That subcommittee is also devel-
oping a method for getting the popular "Summary of State
Drinking Water Standards and Guidelines" on-line.

Region V
Region V is dominated by Great Lakes issues. Public water
systems in the region face  several issues, including natu-
rally occurring contaminants such as radium, intermittent
nitrate problems, and the impending problems posed by
zebra mussels. The freshwater mollusks are moving from
the lakes into source water, causing a problem in industrial
and drinking water treatment system  intakes.
Region V encompasses 41 percent of the total noncommunity
water systems in the country. Traditional enforcement does
not work to bring these systems into compliance with the
myriad of regulations applicable, so several  mobilization
and outreach efforts are underway in the region to provide
information to the operators. In addition, resource shortfalls
in the states are a major issue for the region, as some states
may not retain primacy to administer their own drinking
water and permitting programs.

The Region V Office of Health and Environmental Assess-
ment described research into the risks to human health from
consuming contaminated fish, and the Assessment and Re-
mediation of Contaminated Sediments (ARCS) Program
initiated  under  the Clean Water Act  Amendments.  An
interagency group including representatives from the Corps
of Engineers, the Fish and Wildlife Service,  and the U.S.
EPA will demonstrate advanced technologies at five haz-
ardous waste sites around the region and use lessons learned
while mapping and assessing the sites to develop guidelines
for use at other contaminated sites.

Illinois. A  representative from the Illinois EPA described
the state's fish contaminant monitoring program, in exist-
ence since 1977. The objectives of the program are to:

    •   investigate the presence of toxics in fish to assess
        impacts on fish, public  health, aquatic environ-
        ments, and aquatic  communities; and

    •   locate sources of discharges and evaluate long-
        term effects of source control efforts.
The program was established to promote consistency in
methods among state departments and laboratories. Analy-
sis  of the results over the past 14 years shows that PCB
levels in Lake Michigan have decreased and finally leveled
off at or below  the  FDA  action level.  There are new
problems to replace the older ones, however  mercury and
pesticides, especially chlorpyriphos, pentachlorophenol, and
trifluralin, are showing up in rivers around the state.

FSTRAC representatives also heard about Illinois' Ground
Water Standards Program. Under the standards program,
state ground water is classified into one of four categories,
or a ground-water management zone. The categories are:
Class I (potable resource ground  water), Class II (general
resource ground water), Class III (special resource ground
water), and Class IV  (other ground water). The ground-
water quality standards provide for reclassification of any
ground water as a result of an adjusted standard proceeding
before the Illinois Pollution Control Board, nondegradation
of ground-water resources, establishment of a ground-water
management zone, and alternative standards for areas around
landfills and mining operations and sites undergoing cor-
rective action. The classification scheme, the standards, and
the Health Advisory process also are used to determine
cleanup recommendations at hazardous waste  sites.
Michigan. The Michigan Department of Public Health's
(DPH's) risk assessment methods are similar to EPA's, but
when faced with a contaminant problem that has not been
addressed by EPA in a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL),
Health Advisory, Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS),
or Health Effects Assessment Summary Table, DPH will
derive its own risk-based number. The DPH representative
described a risk assessment performed for t-butyl alcohol
that used an Occupational Safety and Health Administra-
tion Threshold Limit Value to calculate a provisional drink-
ing water guideline (920 parts per billion) that will apply for
1 year. In a second example, he presented a risk assessment-
derived provisional drinking water guideline (150 parts per
billion) for tetrahydrofuran. In yet another case, the DPH
was asked to assess workers' and customers' inhalation and
dermal exposure to perchloroethylene in  a barber/beauty
shop which had a contaminated water supply.

Wisconsin. Wisconsin's ground-water standards were de-
veloped in response to widespread pesticide contamination
in ground water around the state. The state ground-water
law, enacted in 1983, directs the Department of Natural
Resources and Department of Health and Human Services
to set Enforcement Standards and Preventative Action Lim-
its for compounds found in  ground-water supplies. Under
the ground-water law,  all ground-water sources are treated
the same; there is no classification for anything less  than
potable ground water. Atrazine and nitrates are the most
commonly found contaminants.  In response to growing
contamination problems due to atrazine  application and
family septic systems, the state is attempting to limit agri-
cultural application of atrazine in sensitive areas and estab-
lish  strict codes for septic systems; regulators have
encountered resistance to both efforts.
Wisconsin provides anglers with information about fish
contamination, setting forth water and species-specific con-
sumption advisories in a booklet called "Health Guide for
People Who Eat Sport Fish  from Wisconsin Waters." The
document discusses the health effects and risks posed by
eating PCB- and mercury-contaminated fish and provides
guidance on meal preparation that will reduce the health
risks.
Minnesota. Minnesota also has a fish consumption advi-
sory program in place. A representative from the Depart-
ment of Health's Health Risk Assessment Section described
the state's program and the risk assessment considerations
behind it Minnesota has had consumption advisories for
sport fish since 1970 and participates  in the  Great Lakes

-------
Fish Toxics Task Force. Along with the task force, the state
has moved away from depending on FDA advisories.
While fish advisories form the most important health pro-
gram because of the degree of exposure, Minnesota has
undertaken other initiatives to protect residents. For ex-
ample, the state issued a warning against using kerosene
heaters in unvented areas, is developing an advisory against
using  an insect repellent, evaluated  the health effects of
using  bovine somatotrophin,  and performed a literature
review to  evaluate  the risks posed by fluoride in drinking
water. The state does not think that the evidence for cancer
effects is very strong.

Region VH
The prevailing  issues in Region  VII  concern agricultural
issues. Nitrate from fertilizer use has prompted formal state
enforcement actions for significant MCL  violations. Atr-
azine, the most highly used herbicide in the region, has been
found in the Missouri River and  in Kansas and Nebraska
surface waters. Farmers formerly used carbon tetrachloride
as a fumigant in grain bins; as a result, state surveys have
detected the compound in 96 Nebraska and Kansas public
water systems, and 43 are above the EPA MCL.
The region has undertaken several initiatives to help re-
gional states develop wellhead protection programs, train
farmers in best  management practices for pesticide use,
conduct school lead monitoring  programs, and initiate a
well-sampling program in Nebraska.

Missouri. A representative from the Missouri Department
of Health (DOH)  described a joint  study by DOH,  the
University of Iowa, St. Louis University, and the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) Laboratory to look at consump-
tion of chlordane-contaminated fish and serum-chlordane
levels in human serum. The investigators found a correla-
tion between fish consumption and serum level and con-
cluded that, as written and used, consumption advisories are
not a valid predictor of human exposure through fish con-
sumption.

Current Hot Issues
Secondary Health Effects Produced by Taste and Odor.
A representative from the Rhode Island Department of
Health presented a proposal for dealing with taste and odor
problems  when  household drinking water becomes con-
taminated with gasoline or fuel oil. Rhode Island considers
the nausea and headache produced by unpleasant taste and
odors real effects and takes action to mitigate the effects
and their  source. To do this, the state has developed a
protocol for educating affected residents. State representa-
tives suggested that research to determine odor thresholds
for gasoline and fuel oil components would be useful for
identifying the offending components in the mixture.

Few states reported establishing a policy for odor thresh-
olds.  Tom Hornshaw reported that  the  Illinois Leaking
Underground Storage Tank (LUST) unit enforces cleanup
by responsible parties so that there is no residual taste or
odor.  Illinois published a  pamphlet concerning gasoline
contamination in indoor air, ground water, surface water,
and drinking water which describes the health concerns and
ways to reduce exposure to gasoline and its components.

Advice for Private Well Owners. The group reviewed a
draft protocol for addressing private well owners' concerns
when  contamination  is found  in their  water supply. Few
states have policies regarding private wells. An issues paper
will survey state representatives to determine whether states
do or should pay  for bottled water or filters, and whether
and how  that influences state recommendations. The Con-
taminant  Policy and  Communications  Subcommittee will
consider several issues while developing guidance for states,
for example:
    •    What is the assumed exposure duration?
    •    Does the state have authority to regulate and close
        a private well?
    •    Will the results of tests become public record? In
        Connecticut, water tests are part of the  real estate
        package when a house goes up for sale.
    •    How often do states  encounter contaminants for
        which there  are no EPA standards?

NSF Certification Program. A senior lexicologist at NSF
International (NSF) (formerly the National Sanitation Foun-
dation) described  the standards used by the American Na-
tional Safety Institute (ANSI) and NSF to evaluate drinking
water treatment chemicals (Standard 60) and drinking water
system components (Standard 61). The standards are devel-
oped  with participation by utilities, manufacturer, regula-
tors, and consultants and are reviewed regularly to reflect
changing  formulations and knowledge. Current projects
include evaluating solvent cements (especially those used
in plastic piping), polymers, elastomers, and organotin sta-
bilizers. NSF has published listings of certified water treat-
ment  units and additives; both are available on-line. They
would like more input from states and others who use the
standards.

Impacts  of the Radionuclide Rule. The American Water
Works Association (AWWA) formed two volunteer work-
groups to examine the issues raised by the proposed radon
rule.  The first study to look at  the cost of compliance
estimated that 32,750 systems exceed  the proposed radon
standard, 26 percent more than estimated by EPA. The
primary difference between AWWA and EPA occurrence
estimates is  in  the  updated  inventory of nontransient,
noncommunity water systems relying on ground water used
by AWWA. AWWA also  found costs higher than EPA's
estimates for unit treatment, disposal, and overall compli-
ance costs.

The second study examined the risks associated with radon
in drinking water, the uncertainties in the estimates, and the
cost-per-life-saved at various MCLs. The difference in na-
tional compliance costs between 1000 pCi/L and 200 pCi/L

-------
is about $2.5 billion (using AWWA's cost-of-compliance
study), which represents the cost to society incurred to
protect the smoking population.
Pesticides in Surface Waters of the Midwest. An AWWA
representative summarized the results from two surveys to
examine pesticide occurrence in the midwestern states. The
first was a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study of herbi-
cides in surface waters in South Dakota, Minnesota, Wis-
consin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky, and Ohio (Thurman, et al., Herbicides in Surface
Waters of the  Midwestern United States: The Effect of
Spring Flush. Environ. Sci. Technol., 25:1794-96 [1991]);
the second study, conducted by the Missouri River Public
Water Supplies Association, measured herbicide concentra-
tions in the Missouri River and its tributaries during May,
June, and July 1991.
Training for Environmental  Health  Professionals. A
representative from the Tulane University School of Public
Health and Tropical Medicine's Department of Environ-
mental Health  Sciences described a new program to de-
velop  continuing education and  degree programs for
environmental  health professionals. Curriculum develop-
ment is being funded through a 3-year grant from the Health
Resources Services Administration; the University is cur-
rently gathering information about the tasks performed by
practicing professionals and determining the skills needed
to conduct those tasks.

Risk Training Activities
During the months of December and January, Region IX
trained 76 people in the Risk and Decision Making course
and  92 people  in  the  Risk Communication and Public
Involvement course. Andy Schwarz, who is working on the
Risk Communication rewrite, assisted as a facilitator. People
trained included staff and managers from Region IX, fed-
eral facilities, the state of California, and two guests from
the private sector.  The training was very well received.
Both attendees from  the private sector said, "We should
charge a lot of money for the course." Video tapes from
Risk Communication Training are being incorporated into a
briefing video to give people a better idea of the common
problems with risk communication and the value derived
from the course.
The  document,  "Public Meeting: Typical Questions and
Sample Responses," was revised in January 1992 as a result
of requests from the Office of Pesticides Programs and the
Illinois Department of Public Health. Both offices want to
incorporate the  document into their risk communication
training program. Copies of the update may be obtained
from Alvin Chun, (415) 744-1019 or FTS 484-1019.
