Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revisions for the State
of Vermont
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Vermont is revising
it's approved State Public Water Supervision Primacy Program. Vermont
has adopted (4) drinking water regulations for: (1) Filtration,
disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and
heterotrophic bacteria; (2) public notice requirements; (3) total
coliforms (including fecal coliforms and E. Coli); and (4) controlling
lead and copper in drinking water requirements that correspond to the
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for: (1) Filtration,
disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and
heterotrophic bacteria requirements promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989
(54 FR 27486); (2) public notice requirements promulgated by EPA on
October 8, 1987 (52 FR 41534); (3) total coliforms (including fecal
coliforms and E. Coli) promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 (54 FR
27544); and (4) controlling lead and copper in drinking water
requirements 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 May 31, 1994 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 May 31, 1994, 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 May 31, 1994.
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.

for inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through
