NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Title 19, Chapter 4, Safe Drinking Water Act, gives the Drinking Water Board the authority to promulgate rules that govern the construction of facilities and quality of water provided by public water systems.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received by the Division on this rule other than those received during a formal proposed rule change. The comments received during the rule change addressed minor grammatical errors.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule sets the criteria and procedures the Drinking Water Board will use in assessing penalties to public drinking water systems for violations of the public drinking water rules (R309-100 through R309-705). The United States Environmental Protection Agency requires the Board to have administrative penalty authority in 40 CFR 142 in order to maintain primary enforcement authority of the drinking water program.
