Summary: The Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) supports the use of the Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) process but urges the EPA to prioritize contaminants based on public health risk and research capacity. They specifically recommend reducing the total number of substances on the list, providing transparent data availability assessments, and eliminating the overly broad "pharmaceuticals" category in favor of specific, evidence-based listings.
On behalf of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, please see the Association's comments on the draft Sixth Candidate Contaminant List (CCL 6).
