ACS Author-Date style
ACS authorizes the use of style with an in text citation of author and date (Taylor, 2013) and a bibliography listing by author and date that is widely used by EPA. I cannot find the style among those offered by Zotero. I am sure the style would be widely used by EPA staff and states with dealings with EPA. Anyone know where I can find such a CSL file?

Thanks for any help you can provide. It seems to be basically the Chicago author-date style, but with a comma in the in text citation. I speak as a beginner.

If you're lucky @adamsmith will pick this up soonish.

Zotero does not do this, formatting reports differently than books when using the Chicago or ACS style. The title is not italicized and is in quotes. I could just change the item type from "report" or "bulletin", that comes in with the metadata, to "book", but it would be nice if Zotero formatted them both the same automatically. Perhaps there is some nuance of which I am not aware in the Chicago Style.
Any problems please let us know.
Template:
Author. Affiliation, City, State. Phrase describing the material, Year.
Reference List Example:
Marchese, J. Monroe Community College, Rochester, NY Personal Interview, 2006.
You'll still need to tweak this a bit, since there is no field for affiliation. e.g. putting "Affiliation, City, State. Phrase describing the material" into the title field will work.
Here is how the bibliography entry now looks:
U.S. Census Bureau U.S. Census 2010 Data; Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center: Salt Lake City, Utah, 2010.
Here is how it should look:
U.S. Census Bureau. U.S. Census 2010 Data; Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center: Salt Lake City, Utah, 2010.
Adding a period after the author field as a default would create a double period when the author is a person like this:
Laraway, W. H.. Geology of the Devil’s Slide Quadrangle, Morgan and Summit Counties, Utah, 1964.
So, can Zotero only add a period when the author is a one field entry or must we remember to add a period manually?
