There are hundreds of substances whose use is generally recognized by experts as safe, based on their extensive history of use in food or based on published scientific evidence. Examples are common food ingredients such as salt, pepper, vinegar, and baking powder. Title 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations (37 C.F.R.) lists the substances that are generally regarded as safe, i.e., GRAS. Substances listed as GRAS can generally be used in food and other products without permits or other authorizations from governmental agencies. All of the substances found in SAND-Rx are designated as GRAS by the federal government. Drinking and discharged waters are regulated by a number of federal and state agencies. The federal government regulates these waters primarily through the following laws (may not be exclusive): • The Clean Water Act (CWA); 33 U.S.C. s/s 121 et seq. (1977) • The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA); 43 U.S.C. s/s 300f et seq. (1974) • Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 • Water
