Was Jatropha analyzed for this final rule and, if so, what D-code applies?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The GHG emissions performance of a Jatropha-based pathway was not analyzed for the final rule because sufficient information was not available. Since EPA has not yet assigned a D code for this pathway, a producer cannot generate RINs…

Under what conditions might a renewable fuel produced under an approved pathway in the RFS regulations qualify for use in Navy applications?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Background: The U.S. Navy is seeking to blend biofuels with fossil-based fuels, such as F-76 fuel, which are often used in Navy marine vessels. The Navy asked EPA for guidance on whether such biofuels would be treated as…

Is there a Pennsylvania registry that tracks non-cancer diseases or immunological disorders?
PADOH and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services do not have a registry for multiple sclerosis (MS), MS-related diseases or immunologic disorders. Despite extensive research on the mechanisms of MS development and progress, the exact mechanism is not known and there are no definitive studies to show causation…

How do we know our drinking water has not been affected over the past 40+ years when the landfill was operating and after it closed since there were no regulations governing its operation or closure?
The Norwood community is serviced by a public drinking water source. The public water supply must meet federal and state Safe Drinking Water Act Standards. Public water systems are required to share annual reports that describe what, if anything, is found in the water supply.

Why is it difficult to establish a link between cancers or other illnesses and environmental exposures?
The complex nature of cancer makes it inherently challenging to identify, interpret, and address cancer clusters. Cancer is a term describing different diseases that share a similar characteristic: uncontrollable cell growth and division. As a group, cancers are very common. Cancers are the second leading cause of death in the…

How do we know that we have not been exposed to contamination from the Landfill for the past 40+ years?
EPA works closely with its partner, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in evaluating potential health exposures from waste sources. ATSDR has the ability to look at the cancer registry data to evaluate potential past exposures, while EPA’s role is to evaluate current and future exposure. ATSDR…

Can Norwood residents be exposed to contamination if we grow and eat our own vegetables from gardens in our yards?
To date, contamination has not been found on residential properties that would pose a risk. In addition, the concentrations of the contaminants found at the Norwood Site are often found in urban communities. Studies show that exposure to contaminants via vegetable gardens is negligible. With the exception of some root…
