Total Coliform Rule Revisions-Notice of Stakeholder Meeting
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing proposed revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR). The Total Coliform Rule/Distribution System Advisory Committee established an Agreement in Principle, which provides the Agency with recommendations for revising the TCR. One of the recommendations of the Committee is that EPA conduct stakeholder outreach as the Agency develops the proposed revisions. Today, EPA is giving notice of a public meeting in which the Agency will provide updates on the proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) and the Distribution Systems Research and Information Collection Partnership; opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback on assessment and corrective action guidance related to the proposed rule; and opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback on options for the process of reviewing the methods approved to analyze drinking water samples to determine the presence of total coliforms and E. coli. Other topics to be discussed in the meeting include a review of EPA's commitments to stakeholder outreach and involvement pertaining to the proposed RTCR and the plan and tentative schedule for revising other guidance documents.
