EPA Proposes Ban on Mixing of Bioaccumulative Chemicals in Great Lakes System

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to ban the mixing of bioaccumulative chemicals of concern in the Great Lakes System, except for existing discharges, which would be allowed to continue for 10 years after the rule's publication. The new rule would take effect immediately for new discharges of these chemicals.
