Final Technical Guidance—New Guidance

 DEP ID: 393-3130-108. Title: New Source Sampling Requirements for Surface Water Sources. Description: Department regulations in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 109 (relating to safe drinking water) require all new surface water sources that intend to serve as a public water system (PWS) to monitor for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulated contaminants in the raw water source. Monitoring of these contaminants is necessary for public health and compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). As a result, this guidance is intended to establish the sampling require-ments for contaminants to be monitored by all new PWSs that intend to use surface water as the source. The scope of this policy includes a detailed list of all contaminants to be monitored for and guidance and direction on how and when the source water samples should be collected. Finally, this policy reflects and supplements the Department's regulations in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 109.

 The draft guidance was published at 43 Pa.B. 5660 (September 21, 2013), and no comments were submitted. Subsequent to publication, the Department completed minor edits to improve readability and accuracy of the document.
