Strategies for achieving the goals. Plan to track and report results. Issues relevant to safe operation procedures and safe and legal disposal of spent GAC material are addressed in the preamble to the proposed radon rule. They will also be addressed in a guidance manual for small systems, to be issued in support of the final rule. In addition, the proposed rule adds special requirements to the consumer confidence report that are intended to encourage public participation in development of the MMM program plan.
Specific language is provided.
If the State adopts the MCL, the State would be required to review and approve CWS MMM program plans. The proposed rule includes additional reporting requirements for MMM program plans. The proposed rule also requires States to keep specific records in accordance with existing regulations. If monitoring data collected after proposal of the rule are consistent with the requirements specified in the regulation, then the State may allow the systems to use those data to satisfy the monitoring requirements for the initial compliance period. In a non-MMM State, CWSs would need to notify the State of its intention to develop and submit a local MMM program plan to the State by 4 years after the final rule is published and implement a local program by 5.5 years after the final rule.
