Message From: Sent: To: Subject: Tracy Mehan [tmehan@awwa.org] 5/17/2018 4:01:24 PM Tracy Mehan [tmehan@awwa.org] Nothing regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act since '96? Dear Colleagues, I have heard it said, often, around town that EPA has not done any regulation of drinking water since the 1996 reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act other than arsenic. I have asked my staff to look into this claim. While we are still researching the question, and want to add some regulatory cost figures to the inventory, a preliminary, i.e, tentative, list of regulations issued under the SDWA, since 1996, looks like this: *Arsenic Rule *Radionuclides Rule *Backwash Recycle Rule *Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule *Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule *lnterim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule *Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule *Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule *Groundwater Rule *Revised Total Coliform Rule These are now part of a list of 97 (by my count) parameters or contaminants regulated under Safe Drinking Water Act. In addition, we have seen several (many?) Health Advisories issues that often have the impact of de facto regulations, e.g, PFAS. I will be reporting further on our research. But it seems that the idea that nothing has been regulated under the SDWA, since '96, is a bit of an overstatement. In the meantime, if I am missing something, or have made an error, please let me hear from you (I will be out of the office on vacation until May 29th). Thanks. Tracy G.
