        <RULE_TITLE>National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Radium, Uranium, Alpha, Beta and Photon Emitters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has proposed maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) and primary drinking water standards for radionuclides in drinking water. These radionuclides include radium, uranium, radon, total alpha, and beta particle and photon emitters. All of these contaminants were required to be regulated in the 1986 SDWA amendments. Radionuclides pose a cancer risk. Also, uranium poses a risk for kidney toxicity. Currently, EPA estimates that, at proposed levels, the regulation would avoid 126 cancer cases per year, and reduce exposure of 900,000 persons to the risk of kidney toxicity. The number of systems affected at proposed levels would be 29,000 at a cost of $660 million per year. All states with primacy would be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the rule including monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, public notification, and treatment requirements. Local and tribal governments which own water systems are responsible for implementing the requirements. ^PIn January 1995 EPA announced that it was initiating a reassessment of the drinking water program, including the current regulatory agenda, to ensure that resources available for protecting drinking water accomplish the greatest risk reduction. The purpose of the effort is to clarify and change program priorities and realign resource allocations. ^PBy December 15, 1995, EPA and the litigants will agree on the time needed to negotiate a revised schedule for this rule.]]></ABSTRACT>
