Stakeholder Meeting Regarding Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate regulations establishing criteria for a monitoring program for unregulated contaminants. Monitoring varies based on system size, source water, and contaminants likely to be found. SDWA also specifies that for systems serving 10,000 persons or fewer, only a representative sample of systems must monitor. Per SDWA, EPA is required to issue, every five years, a list of not more than 30 unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water systems. The first list of unregulated contaminants was published on September 17, 1999, and the second list on January 4, 2007. The third list is scheduled to be proposed by November 2010.

A Framework for Categorizing the Relative Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate Change
EPA is announcing an extension of the original 30-day public comment period for the draft document titled, ``A Framework for Categorizing the Relative Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate Change'' (EPA/600/R-09/011). This extension is being granted in response to request from interested parties. The document was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment within EPA's Office of Research and Development. This draft document describes an evaluative framework that may be used to categorize the relative vulnerability of species to climate change. To illustrate the use of this framework, it was applied to six U.S. threatened and endangered species: the golden-cheeked warbler, the salt marsh harvest mouse, the Mount Graham red squirrel, the Lahontan cutthroat trout, the desert tortoise and the bald eagle.
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial County Air Pollution Control District
EPA is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern coarse particulate matter (PM10) emissions from sources of fugitive dust such as construction sites, unpaved roads, and disturbed soils in open and agricultural areas. We are proposing action on local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
