This article discusses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) notice that it intends to carry forward, without any additions or deletions, the 51 contaminants remaining on the first contaminant candidate list (CCL1) to comprise the second CCL (CCL2). AWWA expressed strong concerns and urged the USEPA to get serious about developing a robust CCL process for assessing occurrence and health effects of unregulated contaminants. AWWA's comments on the draft CCL2 addressed agency efforts to develop and apply a more scientifically rigorous process for creating CCLs than the relatively quick‐and‐dirty process employed to create the first one in 1998 that the USEPA has again, by default, relied on to draft the second.
