(Cyanotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.)

Requires the plan to include steps and time lines to:

  • evaluate the risk to human health from drinking water contaminated with cyanotoxins;
  • establish, publish, and update a comprehensive list of cyanotoxins that are harmful to human health;
  • summarize the known adverse human health effects of cyanotoxins and the factors that cause cyanobacteria to grow rapidly and make toxins;
  • determine whether to publish health advisories for harmful cyanotoxins and establish relevant guidance;
  • recommend feasible treatment options; and
  • enter into cooperative agreements with, and provide technical assistance to, affected states and public water systems to manage risks associated with cyanotoxins.
