The NDWAC website provides information about the council’s membership, activities, and meetings, including providing summary documents of past meetings, including the last meeting that was held Jan. 31, 2024.

The EPA says the agenda for the Jan.10, 2025 NDWAC meeting, and information on how to register for and to attend that meeting online will be provided prior to the meeting on the EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/ndwac.

In addition, the EPA says it will allocate one hour for the public to present oral comments during the NDWAC meeting. Therefore, persons interested in presenting an oral statement should send an email to Tracey Ward—the EPA’s NDWAC Designated Federal Officer, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (Mail Code 4601), EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460—at ward.tracey@epa.gov by noon, EST, on Jan. 2, 2025.

Oral statements will be limited to three minutes per person during the public comment period, and it is preferred that a single person present a statement on behalf of a group or organization, EPA says.

Furthermore, those who wish to file a written statement with the NDWAC can do so before or after the meeting by sending written statements by email to ward.tracey@epa.gov. Such statements will become part of the permanent file for the meeting and will be forwarded to NDWAC members after the meeting concludes. Members of the public should be aware that if their personal contact information is included in written comments, that information might be posted on the NDWAC website as part of the document, but copyrighted material will not be posted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder, EPA says.

For further information on the meeting, contact Tracey Ward, at (202) 564–3796; or by email to ward.tracey@epa.gov.
