Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
California Public Notification Regulations
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of decision and opportunity for hearing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of California is
revising its approved State Public Water System Supervision Program.
California has adopted revised drinking water regulations which require
owners or operators of public water systems to notify the persons they
serve when certain violations of the National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations (NPDWRs) or certain monitoring requirements occur, when
variance or exemptions are in effect, and when a system fails to comply
with any schedule prescribed pursuant to a variance or exemption. These
state regulations correspond to National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations promulgated by EPA on October 28, 1987 [52 FR 41534]. EPA
has determined that the State program revisions are no less stringent
than the corresponding federal rules. Therefore, EPA has tentatively
decided to approve the State program revision.
All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing on
EPA's decision to approve the State program revisions. A request for a
public hearing must be submitted by February 26, 1996, to the Regional
Administrator at the address shown below. Insubstantial requests for a
hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator. If no timely and
appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional
Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his/her own motion,
this determination shall become effective February 26, 1996.
Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (1)
The name, address, and telephone number of the individual,
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief
statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional
Administrator's determination and of information that the requesting
person intends to submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the
individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of
an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible
official of the organization or other entity.
ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available
for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, at the following offices: California Department of
Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental
Management, 601 North 7th Street, P.O. Box 942732, Sacramento, CA
94234-7320; and EPA, Region IX, Water Management Division, Drinking
Water Section (W-6-1), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California
94105.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William M. Robberson, EPA, Region IX,
at the San Francisco address given above or by telephone at (415) 744-
1857.
