Proposed rule aims to enhance LCR implementation
This article discusses the long‐awaited U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) rule to correct several Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) problems. Proposed in mid‐July amidst evidence that even the lead action level of 15 μg/L at the 90th percentile of monitored homes is still being misconstrued as a health standard, the rule consolidates into seven categorical changes the nine corrective actions it identified in the March 2005 Drinking Water Lead Reduction Plan. The USEPA said the proposal aims to strengthen LCR implementation in the short‐term by clarifying the original intent of certain requirements and revising others. The agency estimates that the changes would impose one‐time, up‐front costs of $8.1 million on utilities and $730,000 on states and combined annual costs ranging from $5.1 million to $5.5 million.
