Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revisions for the State
of Vermont
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Vermont is revising
it's approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program.
Vermont has adopted two drinking water regulations: (1) For Volatile
Organic Chemicals, Synthetic Organic Chemicals, and Inorganic Chemicals
(known as Phase II, Phase IIB and V) that correspond to the National
Primary Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on January 30,
1991 (56 FR 3526), July 1, 1991 (56 FR 30266), and July 17, 1992 (57 FR
31776) and (2) for controlling Lead and Copper in drinking water that
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
promulgated by EPA on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). EPA has determined
that the State program revisions are no less stringent than the
corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively
decided to approve these State program revisions. All interested
parties are invited to request a public hearing. A request for a public
hearing must be submitted by December 27, 1996 to the Regional
Administrator at the address shown below. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator.
However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by
December 27, 1996, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and
appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional
Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this
determination shall become effective December 27, 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 intended to
submit at such hearing. (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 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday, at the following offices:
