Title: ●Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR 3) for Public Water Systems Revisions
Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish criteria for a program to monitor not more than 30 unregulated contaminants every five years. EPA published the first group of contaminants in the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (i.e., UCMR 1), which established a revised approach for UCMR implementation, in the Federal Register dated September 17, 1999 (64 FR 50556), and the second list of unregulated contaminants (UCMR 2) in the Federal Register dated January 4, 2007 (72 FR 367). The proposed regulation will meet the SDWA requirement for identifying new priority contaminants to be monitored during the third UCMR cycle (i.e., UCMR 3) of 2012-2015.
