这一系列清单，以及伴随会议演示的幻灯片，列出了EPA在许多决策领域使用的新旧标准。本课程涵盖三个领域:识别和选择用于监管的污染物、风险管理，以及获得小型系统合规性。作者首先列出了旧的决策标准，然后列出了新的标准。例如，在识别和选择污染物进行监管时，列出了旧的标准:（1）SDWA要求83 MCL，然后每3年增加25 MCL；（2） EPA收集水源水和饮用水中污染物的信息；（3）考虑污染物释放的可能性。然后列出了新的范例:（1）重新设计并进行联邦调查；（2） 要求报告监管和非监管污染物的参数数据； （3） 使用TRI、STORNET、EMAP和其他数据库；（4） 建立用于存储和识别数据的国家数据库；等等

This collection of lists, the slides that accompanied a conference presentation, list old and new criteria that EPA uses in a number of areas of decision making. Three areas are covered: identifying and selecting contaminants for regulation, risk management, and gaining small system compliance. The author first lists the old decision making criteria, then lists the new. For example, under Identifying and Selecting Contaminants for Regulation the old criteria are listed: (1) SDWA requires 83 MCLs' and then 25 more every 3 years; (2) EPA collects information on contaminants in source water and drinking water; and (3) considers the potential for releases of contaminants. Then the new paradigms are listed: (1) redesign and conduct federal surveys; (2) require reporting of parametric data on both regulated and unregulated contaminants; (3) use TRI, STORNET, EMAP, and other databases; (4) establish national database for storing and identifying data; and so forth.
