TOPIC:
Mr. Guterman will present a update to the
regulations and MassDEP policies that affect
Massachusetts public water suppliers. The update
will include the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR);
the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection
Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) and Long Term 2
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR),
otherwise abbreviated as Stage 2/LT2. A brief
overview of alternative disinfectants to address the
more stringent disinfection byproducts limits under
the Stage 2 DBPR will be presented by the PCWWA and
Mr. Guterman will discuss the various pros and cons
of the regulatory implications of the different
options (e.g. monitoring, relevant standards). He
will also do a broad Q&A on any of the current rules
including MassDEP's insight to new rulemaking at the
Federal level. |
