It grows best in warm water environments and can be found in premise plumbing in large buildings, hot tubs, hot water tanks, decorative fountains, large plumbing systems (such as might be found in hospitals) and cooling towers. People who breathe in a mist or vapor that has been contaminated with Legionella can contract Legionnaire’s disease or Pontiac fever (both referred to as legionellosis). Legionellosis is a major health concern associated with drinking water. Cases of legionellosis and fatalities have been associated with the occurrence of Legionella in building water systems. In response to the threat to public health, some building owners have installed supplemental treatment systems to prevent and control for Legionella. Some states have requested technical assistance from EPA with regards to evaluating effectiveness of control technologies. The agency expects the final document will help to further improve public health by VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:39 Oct 20, 2015 Jkt 238001 helping states, building owners and operators make science-based, risk management decisions regarding treatment and control of Legionella in buildings. III. How will the Agency finalize the document? Through this notice, EPA is announcing an opportunity for the public to provide input on the draft document in writing and/or verbally at the public meeting and webinar. EPA will conduct an independent, expert peer review following the public review and comment period. Comments from the public and external peer reviewers will be considered as EPA finalizes the document. IV. What input is the Agency seeking from the public? The Agency is particularly interested in input from the public related to the following questions: 1. How well does the document accurately characterize the available, peer reviewed literature on the effectiveness of different technologies for control of Legionella? 2. What is your perspective on whether the characterization of each technology is balanced and supported by the available, peer reviewed scientific information? 3. What suggestions do you have to improve the document so that it can better support informed public health protection decisions and avoid or minimize unintended consequences? Dated: October 13, 2015. Kenneth J. Kopocis, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Water.
