Agreement Shaping Revision of Total Coliform Rule Signed
This article discusses a final agreement in principle reached by the Total Coliform Rule Distribution System Federal Advisory Committee (TCRDSAC) in response to two charges given it by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that include the following: a revision of the Total Coliform Rule (TCR) to improve implementation while maintaining or improving public health protection and distribution system water quality; and, to determine what data should be collected, research conducted, and/or risk management strategies evaluated in order to more effectively inform the public about distribution system contaminant occurrence and associated public health risks. The agreement represents a commitment by the USEPA to prepare a proposed rule that reflects the substance and effect of the TCRDSAC's recommendations. It is also a promise by the other parties represented to not impede the revised rule proposal or subsequent promulgation and implementation as long as the revisions are consistent with the agreement. The article provides a sidebar that explains a reduced monitoring recommendation for both community and noncommunity water systems. A second sidebar lists assessment triggers, a third sidebar presents examples of sanitary defects, and a forth sidebar lists members of the TCRDSAC.
