SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the State of California 

enacted legislation (SB 861) that 

transfers to the California State Water 

Resources Control Board the authority, 

duties, powers, purposes, functions, 

responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the 

California Department of Public Health 

for the purposes of the administration of 

the California Safe Drinking Water Act 

programs effective July 1, 2014. 

Background 

The California Safe Drinking Water 

Act provides for the operation of public 

water systems and imposes various 

duties and responsibilities for the 

regulation and control of drinking water 

in the State of California including 

enforcing provisions of the federal Safe 

Drinking Water Act. The program 

transfer under SB 861 included all 

elements of the approved regulatory 

program as well as administration of the 

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund 

and the Environmental Laboratory 

Accreditation Program. An interagency 

agreement between the California State 

Water Resources Control Board and the 

California Department of Public Health 

was established for assuring the 

availability of drinking water laboratory 

services pursuant to 40 CFR 142.10 

(b)(4). 

40 CFR 142.17(a)(1) requires the State 

to notify the Administrator of the EPA 

of any State-initiated program changes 

and of any transfer of all or part of its 

program from the approved State agency 

to another State agency. On August 7, 

2014, the California Attorney General 

certified to the EPA that the ‘‘[t]ransfer 

of California’s authority to carry out the 

Safe Drinking Water Program from the 

California Department of Public Health 

to the California State Water Resources 

Control Board has been effectuated by 

SB 861 (Stats. 2014, ch. 35, §§ 62, 63, 

127, 182).’’ The Attorney General’s 

certification confirmed that the laws 

and regulations of California to carry out 

the Safe Drinking Water Program remain 

in effect, and further stated that ‘‘[i]n 

accordance with the Safe Drinking 

Water Act as amended, and 40 CFR 

142.12(c)(1)(iii), the statutes and 

regulations of the State of California to 

carry out the Safe Drinking Water Act 

have been duly adopted and are 

enforceable under California law and 

the California State Constitution.’’ 

The Attorney General’s certification 

further confirmed that the California 

State Water Resources Control Board 

has regulatory and enforcement 

authority over drinking water standards 

and water systems under California 

Health and Safety Code section 116271. 

The State of California was first 

granted primary enforcement 

responsibility for public water systems 

under section 1413 of the Safe Drinking 

Water Act on June 2, 1978 (43 FR 25180, 

June 9, 1978). 

Dated: January 30, 2015.
