Title: ●National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Minor Correction to Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule and Changes Related to References of Analytical Methods
Abstract: EPA promulgated the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfectant Byproducts Rule on January 4, 2006 (71 FR 388). The requirements for ground water systems serving 500-9999 people were unintentionally excluded from the final rule. As a result, the rule allowed for less routine compliance monitoring than intended for this category of PWSs. These PWSs should have been required to monitor for both trihalo methanes (TTHMs) and HAA5 concentrations. Due to the error, they were only required to monitor for either TTHMs or HAA5s. EPA also needs to add a notation to methods tables currently in the regulations to indicate where readers can find the list of methods approved under the expedited process. This action will add a reference to the list of additional methods to tables in 40 CFR 141.
