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 were were related to incorrect citations of 40 CFR 141. The citations were corrected in subsequent rulemaking.

 

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

This rule states the type of source samples that are required per category of public water system, the required number of samples and the frequency for collecting the samples all of which are required in 40 CFR 141 and 40 CFR 142 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The Drinking Water Board is required to adopt rules that are as stringent as the federal rules in order to maintain primacy for enforcement of the drinking water program. The continuation of this rule is necessary to protect the quality and safety of the drinking water and thereby public health and to maintain primacy of the drinking water program.
