Data collected via 1993 screener questionnaire, airport/vendor/POTW mini-questionnaires, EPA site visits, EPA

Article by John C. Hall, William T. Hall, and Charles J. Simmons published in Water Environment & Technology (June 1997) arguing that EPA’s 1984 and 1993 copper water quality criteria should not be applied directly to municipal effluents (POTWs) because dissolved copper in biologically treated effluents is complexed with organic and inorganic matter and is

Executive Order 13045, signed by President Clinton in April 1997, directs federal agencies to identify and address environmental health and safety risks that disproportionately affect children, recognizing that children are more vulnerable due to their developing bodies and behaviors. The order establishes a Task Force co-chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the EPA Administrator to coordinate federal research and recommend protective strategies. It also requires agencies to evaluate the effects of significant regulations on children's health and safety before those rules take effect.

This 1996 Memorandum of Agreement establishes a 24-month air quality monitoring program near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, involving the Port of Seattle, FAA, EPA, Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. The program, funded at $195,000, focuses on measuring carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and aircraft fuel particle residue to establish baseline air quality data and evaluate potential pollution impacts from planned airport expansion projects. The Port agreed not to proceed with expansion elements projected to cause carbon monoxide standard violations until monitoring is complete and, if necessary, mitigation measures are identified.
