This report is part of the National Network for Environmental Management Studies under the auspices of the Agencywide Technology Transfer Staff of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The study determines the best approaches for educating the public, environmental health professionals, and environmental managers in the risk assessment/risk management process for drinking water contamination. The report reviews the risk training materials published by the EPA. Because the project focuses on risk assessment and management with respect to drinking water contamination, the report concentrates on a workshop presented by the Office of Drinking Water in August of 1988: Workshops on Assessment and Management of Drinking Water Contamination. The report also presents the results of a survey of state public health/environmental agencies with jurisdiction over drinking water. Two questions were asked: do they conduct or participate in risk training programs or have written risk policy documents; and what are the major drinking water contamination concerns in their state. The report is divided into five sections: Approach to Evaluation of EPA Materials; ODW Workshop on Assessment and Management of Drinking Water Contamination; EPA Risk Training Material; EPA Risk Policy/Guidelines; and Survey of State Agencies.
