Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revision for the State
of Maine
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Maine is revising
it's approved State Public Water Supervision Primacy Program. Maine has
adopted drinking water regulations for: (1) total coliforms (including
fecal coliforms and E. Coli) that correspond to the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations for total coliforms (including fecal
coliforms and E. Coli) promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 (54 FR
27544) and (2) for filtration, disinfection, turbidity, Giardia
lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and heterotrophic bacteria that
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for
filtration, disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses,
Legionella, and heterotrophic bacteria requirements promulgated on June
29, 1989 (54 FR 27486). 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
August 1, 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 August 1, 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 August 1, 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.
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
