larger water supply capacity (over 1
million people in Northern Virginia)
and a number of power supply facilities
that could be significantly affected if
zebra mussels escape to infest the
Occoquan watershed. Fairfax Water
estimates that they would incur a $2 $4 million capital outlay for chemical
feed facilities and $500,000 - $850,000
per year for chemicals and system
maintenance.
The Applicant proposes to make 1 to
4 applications of a 12% liquid
potassium stock solution mixed from
muriate of potash. Two-hundred million
gallons of water in the quarry will be
treated with 128,000 kilograms of active
ingredient (131,000 kg of dry muriate of
potash).
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. The regulations governing section
18 of FIFRA require publication of a
notice of receipt of an application for a
quarantine exemption proposing ‘‘use of
a new chemical (i.e., an active
ingredient) which has not been
registered by the EPA.’’
As noted above, the Agency is
eliminating the comment period due to
the urgent nature of emergency situation
and the very narrow and extremely
limited use being requested.
Nonetheless, interested parties may still
contact the Agency with comments
about this notice and treatment
program.

disposal of the substances for test
marketing purposes will not present an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment. EPA may impose

doubt on its finding that the test
marketing activity will not present an
unreasonable risk of injury.
III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

TME. EPA has determined that test
marketing the new chemical substance,
under the conditions set out in the TME
