<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">Subject: FYI - three new methods - - for several Pesticides or PPCPs. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">Colleagues:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">We have posted three EPA-developed methods at </FONT><A HREF="http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/methods/index.htm"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Courier New">http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/methods/index.htm</FONT></U></A><FONT FACE="Courier New">. Click on the Other Methods (Methods published by EPA, but not promulgated) link. The three methods are 1694, 1698 and 1699, and cover several chemicals in the PPCP (pharmaceuticals & personal care products) and pesticide classes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">These methods are single-lab validated and peer reviewed. They were developed under the leadership of Dr. Brian Englert. Please direct inquiries to Brian.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">Are these Part 136 methods? No, and we have no immediate plans to propose to make them so. Rather we are using them to characterize occurrence in various wastewaters; others may wish to do likewise. Eventually, we will conduct a multi-laboratory validation study.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">Please pass this information on to any interested parties. We are noticing these methods to you and your colleagues as alternatives to other PPCP or pesticide methods in the literature. Brian welcomes any</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">and all user experiences from laboratory analysts who choose to use these methods.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">Thanks.</FONT>
