... in August 1999 and every five years thereafter, and identify five drinking water contaminants for potential regulation by August 2001 and every five years thereafter. The EPA published the Draft CCL on October 6, 1997 (EPA, 1997a)

That report described the committee's review of 10 existing prioritization schemes, review of methods for assessing microbial pathogens, approaches used to develop the 1998 CCL, and suggestions for selecting candidates on the CCL for future action.
From page 53...
... Peer review is significant because it provides credibility to the chemical sorting and ranking process. Techniques Reviewed by the Committee on Drinking Water Contaminants The Committee on Drinking Water Contaminants reviewed 10 existing chemical prioritization schemes and considered their relevance for developing a prioritization scheme for drinking water contaminants (NRC, 19991.
From page 54...
... Schemes to Prioritize Contaminants for Specific Media The first scheme to prioritize contaminants for specific media ranks hazardous waste sites and is relevant to setting priorities for drinking water contaminants, because the contaminants at the hazardous waste sites determine the potential to cause adverse effects to human health or the environment. The second scheme ranks hazardous waste sites and the contaminants at hazardous waste sites for potential to cause adverse human health effects.

... within each category (e.g., within the aquatic toxicity category, chemicals could be ranked on fish LC50 values, aquatic invertebrate EC50 values, etc.~; 5. use of the relational database to produce output scenarios (e.g., chemicals with annual production volumes exceeding a certain threshold that have been measured in surface waters (the concentration of which is given)

... From the NEM page the user must select TOXLINE and then, under the "Apply Limits" section, choose "Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions." When the EPA publishes a Federal Register notice under TSCA Section 4(a) , manufacturers and processors of chemicals mentioned in that notice can provide TSCA Section 4(a)
From page 58...
... Using SuCCSES it was possible to assign the 1998 CCL chemicals to one of 17 SuCCSES classes (Table 4-4~. Organizing chemicals into SuCCSES classes is critical for estimating potential health or ecological effects of structurally related chemicals and developing or validating SARs and QSARs.
From page 59...
... Values, and Henry's Law Constant for 1998 CCL Chemicals The log Kow values, Koc values and Henry's Law constants for the 1998 CCL chemicals (arranged by SuCCSES classy are listed in Table 4-5. These three environmental fate parameters were selected to estimate the potential of chemicals to remain in drinking water.

From page 61...
... The first procedure, based on a chemical's mode of toxic action, was used in conjunction with SuCCSES classes to sort the 1998 CCL chemicals (See Table 4-101. Results from testing the acute toxicity of about 600 chemicals to fathead minnows were used to develop a computer-based expert system that predicts mode of toxic action based on chemical structure (Russom et al., 19971.

... Within the SuCCSES class of aliphatic halides, carcinogenicity concern levels can be used to sort aliphatic 62 Identifying Future Drinking Water Contaminants
From page 63...
... However, the use of expert opinions to predict the potential of chemicals containing specific substructures to cause adverse effects to human health or the environment is new and was developed as part of SuCCSES (Walker and Gray, 1999~. To illustrate how SuCCSES might be used to rank the 1998 CCL chemicals, three SuCCSES classes and their potential health effects were selected as examples: SuCCSES Class Potential Health Effects Nitroaromatics Halophenols Hydrazines Carcinogenicity Mutagenicity Other chronic effects Carcinogenicity Mutagenicity Other chronic effects Acute toxicity Membrane irritation Oncogenicity There are three nitroaromatics, two halophenols, and one hydrazine on the 1998 CCL (Table 4-4~.

... identify other structurally related chemicals with low bioconcentration, sorption, and evaporation potential that would contaminate drinking water and wildlife species and (2) identify wildlife species that are likely to be contaminated by structurally related chemicals with low bioconcentration, sorption, and evaporation potential that could serve as sentinel species to evaluate potential effects and contribute to the understanding of environmental-human health effects interactions.

... that have similar uses to I,1,2,2-tetrachIoroethane (See Table 4-14~. Fourth, consider the log Kow values, Koc values, and Henry's Law constants (environmental fate parameters that can be used to estimate if chemicals will remain in drinking water)
