‘‘Selected Information on Chemical
Releases Within Great Lakes Counties

(Public Comment Draft 2008)’’
Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (ATSDR),
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This report responds to a
request from the International Joint
Commission (IJC), the binational
organization that works to implement
the Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreement (GLWQA) between the U.S.
and Canada. The GLWQA calls for the
two nations to define ‘‘the threat to
human health from critical pollutants’’
found in the Great Lakes basin.
This notice announces the availability
of the draft report entitled ‘‘Selected
Information on Chemical Releases
Within Great Lakes Counties Containing
Areas of Concern (AOC) (Public
Comment Draft 2008)’’. This report
summarizes previously-published
public health assessment products and
chemical release information for the 26
U.S. AOCs and 54 counties that are in
close geographic proximity to those
AOCs. This is a descriptive report that
does not make associations between
health outcomes and chemical
exposures. The compilation of
environmental data, gathered by ATSDR
and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), is intended to help
decision-makers set future priorities.
DATES: The agency must receive
comments on or before June 30, 2008.
Comments can be sent via e-mail box
greatlakes@cdc.gov. Comments received
after close of the public comment period
will be considered at the discretion of
ATSDR on the basis of what is deemed
to be in the best interest of the general
public.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments
concerning this notice to Ms. Olga
Dawkins, ATSDR, Division of
Toxicology and Environmental
Medicine, 1600 Clifton Road, NE., MS

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
geographic focus of this report is a set
of 26 ‘‘Areas of Concern’’ (AOCs) along
Great Lakes streams, rivers, and lakes.
These AOCs are defined under the
Agreement as ecologically degraded
geographic areas requiring remediation.
In response to the IJC request, this
report presents previously published
public health assessment products and
chemical release information for the 54
counties in geographic proximity to one
or more of the 26 U.S. AOC. Much of the
available data pertain to counties, and
not to AOCs. Some AOCs occupy small
parts of a single county, while others
may reach across more than one county.
The data come from publicly available
data sets provided by ATSDR and the
U.S. EPA.
The GLWQA defines ‘‘critical
pollutants’’ as substances that persist in
the environment, bioaccumulate in fish
and wildlife, and are toxic to humans
and animals. There are 12 categories of
critical pollutants. This report
emphasizes the critical pollutants
(within the constraints imposed by
using existing data) but also presents
information on other pollutants, when
such information is available and
relevant.
This report compiles and presents
previously collected environmental data
from four sources:
• Data on hazardous waste sites in
AOC counties, from evaluations
prepared by the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR);
• Chemical release data from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) Toxic Release Inventory (TRI);
• Data on pollutant discharges into
water, from EPA’s National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES);
• Data on ‘‘beneficial use
impairments’’ such as wildlife and
drinking water advisories, from each of
the Great Lakes states. These data are
presented in three ways: In text, in
tables, and in Geographic Information
System-based (GIS) maps created by
ATSDR for each of the 26 U.S. AOCs.
This is a descriptive report that does
not make associations between health
outcomes and chemical exposures. The
compilation of environmental data,
gathered by ATSDR and EPA, is
intended to help decision-makers set
future priorities.
