PDP - Drinking Water Project  
In 2001, PDP initiated a finished drinking water monitoring survey in California and New York. In 2002, PDP expanded its water program to include additional geographic regions within the United States, including Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. In 2004, the program was retooled to sample paired raw and finished water. Through 2008, samples have been collected by water treatment facilities in 26 States plus the District of Columbia. The samples are mailed to PDP laboratories for multiresidue pesticide analyses. Data collected will be used to test assumptions and validate existing models used by EPA to incorporate finished drinking water into risk assessments and to make pesticide re-registration decisions.
