Description: The Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) is a list of contaminants that, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulations, but are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems. Contaminants listed on the CCL may require future regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). EPA announced the first Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 1) on March 2, 1998. The CCL Chemical Candidate Lists are versioned iteratively and this description navigates between the various versions of the lists.
