	Natural Resources Defense Council Lawsuit Against EPA's Fluoride MCLG (1986)
		In response to EPA's alteration of the fluoride standard, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed suit against the Agency arguing that the new, weakened standard was unprotective of public health and a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
		Ultimately, however, the Court barred the EPA Union from joining the suit, and rejected NRDC's suit on the basis of the deference afforded to EPA Administration in rulemaking matters.
		EPA's response to NRDC's challenge is to ask this Court to defer to the Agency's judgment and thereby create a judicial exception to the mandate of the SDWA that an RMCL must provide protection to all persons against known and anticipated health effects of drinking water contaminants.

	Allen Hershkowitz, Natural Resources Defense Council \| Grist Magazine \| Dispatches \| 15 Sep 2003
		Allen Hershkowitz, PhD, is a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council and author of Bronx Ecology: Blueprint for a New Environmentalism.
		Yup, you read that right: Throughout North America and the world, natural, biologically diverse, and irreplaceable forests -- in some cases old-growth, never-harvested forests that host some of the world's most inspiring and important species and freshwater eco-regions -- are being converted into toilet paper.
		Our goal is to get these transnational corporations and absentee landowners to shift their raw material sourcing and production away from the biologically irreplaceable ecosystems found in the Cumberland Plateau and, instead, rely on post-consumer recycled paper fibers or ecologically superior agricultural residues for their raw materials.

		As appellants point out, on January 6, 1976, the Secretary of the Resources Agency certified that the regulation of timber operations on private lands in California meets the "functional equivalent" test under section 21080.5, and accordingly the timber industry has been exempted from the full scale EIR prescribed in section 21100.

		The NRDC goes on to criticize evidence from human population studies, while explicitly calling for more chemicals to be tested on animals in the NTP bioassay (e.g., “We encourage the NTP to expand this trusted methodology, to handle an increased number of chemicals annually.”).
