| MDBP Technical Guidances Technical Guidances for Implementation of theMicrobial and Disinfection Byproducts Rules
These guidance manuals support the Interim Enhanced Surface Water TreatmentRule and the Stage 1 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule. The manualswill aid EPA, State agencies and affected public water systems in implementingthe two interrelated rules, and will help to ensure that implementationamong these groups is consistent. Unless otherwise noted, files are less than 800k.Errata sheet for 		technical guidances
