Document Description
Pursuant to HSC section 116555(a)(1), public drinking water systems are required to comply with secondary drinking water standards. The existing secondary drinking water standards regulations lack clarity and a specific procedure for determining secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) compliance. Therefore, the Department proposes to amend existing section 64449, Chapter 15, and adopt two new sections (94449.2 and 64449.4) into the same chapter to update and clarify the Secondary Drinking Water Standards regulations. The proposed amendments to section 64449 (Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels and Compliance) involve a reorganization of the existing requirements, the elimination of the corrosivity standard, and a clarification of the secondary MCL compliance determination procedure. The proposed section 64449.2 (Waivers for Secondary MCL Compliance) clarifies and incorporates application requirements for secondary MCL waivers from the existing Section 64449. Proposed Section 64449.4 (Use of Sources that Exceed a Secondary MCL and Do Not Have a Waiver) includes proposed requirements for the short-term use of a source that exceeds a secondary MCL.
