Pennsylvania has adopted drinking water regulations for the Ground Water Rule and the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule.

This determination shall become final and effective on December 4, 2020 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, and if no comments are received which cause EPA to modify its tentative approval.
