Guidelines Establishing Test
Procedures for the Analysis of
Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act;

Drinking Water Regulations; Analysis
and Sampling Procedures
SUMMARY:This rule modifies the testing
procedures approved for analysis and
sampling under the Clean Water Act
and Safe Drinking Water Act. EPA
proposed these changes for public
comment on August 18, 2003 and April
6, 2004. The Clean Water Act changes
adopted in this final rule fall into the
following categories: new vendor-
developed methods as well as EPA and
voluntary consensus standard bodies
(VCSB) methods, updated versions of
currently approved methods, revisions
to method modification and analytical
requirements, withdrawal of certain
outdated methods, and changes to
sample collection, preservation, and
holding time requirements. This rule
also changes regulations under the Safe
Drinking Water Act that establish
procedures. The changes include
approval of vendor-developed methods,
new EPA and VCSB methods, updated
VCSB methods, and approval of a
modification to the test kit used with
Syngenta Method AG\u2013625 that restricts
its use in certain circumstances. The
addition of new and updated methods
to the wastewater and drinking water
regulations provides increased
flexibility to the regulated community
and laboratories in the selection of

EPA Regions, as well as States,
Territories and Tribes authorized to
implement the National Pollutant
program, issue permits with conditions
designed to ensure compliance with the
technology-based and water quality-
based requirements of the Clean Water
Act (CWA). These permits may include
restrictions on the quantity of pollutants
that may be discharged as well as
pollutant measurement and reporting
requirements. If EPA has approved test
procedures for analysis of a specific
pollutant, the NPDES permittee must
use an approved test procedure (or an
approved alternate test procedure) for
the specific pollutant when measuring
the required waste constituent.
Similarly, if EPA has established
sampling requirements, measurements
taken under an NPDES permit must

2. Safe Drinking Water Act
Public water systems are the regulated
entities required to measure
samples. In addition, EPA Regions, as
well as States, and Tribal governments
with authority to administer the
regulatory program for public water
systems under the Safe Drinking Water
Act, may also measure contaminants in
water samples. When EPA establishes a
maximum contaminant level (MCL) for
a given drinking water contaminant, the
Agency also approves standardized test
procedures for analysis of the
contaminant. Public water systems
required to test water samples must use
