Is the internet-based database available publicly?
At the current time, the user interface and mock database are available to the public for comment. Q: If wastewater is not the main source of TOrC, then what is? Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are a major source of some TOrCs as is nonpoint sources, such as urban and agricultural runoff. Q: Do any of your approaches consider metabolites? Currently, our approaches do not consider metabolites but we are aware that this will need to be addressed as part of Phase 2 analyses. Q: Why did you assume that a WWTP that achieves low nutrient levels are likely correlated with lower trace compound risk? Many researchers have reported higher levels of some TOrCs when nutrient removal is poorer. Although not a certainty, a plant with a high nutrient removal rate is less likely to have risks due to TOrCs than a plant that does not. Q: The recent Cal State Water Resource Board blue ribbon panel report ranked caffeine as a “high risk” for human health. This report does not (for aquatic s
