Note: SSCT = treatment technology has been identified by EPA as an SSCT (Federal Register, Volume 63, No.<br />

151, August 6, 1998). SFI = Treatment technology has been suggested to receive further investigation for the<br />

listed contaminant; anion exchange for nitrates is not currently recommended. UI = Under investigation. X =<br />

Treatment technology can remove the noted contaminant but it is not listed as an SSCT in the Federal Register<br />

or in a rule. ? = treatment technology is questionable for the listed contaminant.<br />

a Other adsorption media such as silica, fluoride, phosphate, sulfate, dissolved iron <strong>and</strong> manganese.
