Did the TWG make any decisions on potential future uses of slag?
Response: No. The Graded Decision Guidelines do not address the future use of slag, since future use of slag was not part of the charter of the TWG. The Companies no longer sell or distribute phosphate slag and have agreed to not use the material outside of their operating areas, without EPA approval. Based on current knowledge of radiation risks associated with slag EPA does not recommend use of this material for any purpose. EPA believes that the potential health benefits derived from restricting use of slag far outweigh any “benefits” from continued use. Comment: Will all public buildings be included in the testing program? Response: Not automatically, surveys will not be performed without authorization from the person responsible for the location. EPA encourages all local officials to request that the public areas they are responsible for be included in the program, and make the results available to the public. Comment: Will this program affect my property value? Response: It shoul
