On Thursday, July 30, 2015, U. S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) urged Senate passage of his Drinking Water Protection Act. This legislation will direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and report to Congress a strategic Algal Toxin Risk Assessment and Management Plan within 90 days. The Plan will evaluate the risk to human health from drinking water provided by public water systems contaminated with algal toxins and recommend feasible treatment options, including procedures and source water protection practices, to mitigate any adverse public health effects of algal toxins. Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH-05) authored this legislation in the House.
