Final TGD: Substantive Revision

 DEP ID: 391-0400-001. Title: Pennsylvania's Capability Enhancement Strategy. Description: This TGD provides guidance to all community, nontransient noncommunity and transient noncommunity drinking water systems, as well as Department staff on the guidelines and implementation of the Commonwealth's Capability Enhancement Program. The purpose of this TGD is to establish a rational methodology to implement, track and allocate appropriate resources needed to meet the Federal requirements for a state capacity development strategy for all public water systems. Substantive revisions to the Commonwealth's Capability Enhancement Strategy were made to satisfy the requirements of America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 (Pub.L. No. 115-270) related to asset management. AWIA amended the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 300f—300j-27) to require each state to include in their capacity development strategy a description of how the state will encourage water systems to develop and implement asset management plans. A draft of this TGD was published for public comment at 52 Pa.B. 4043 (July 16, 2022). No comments were received on the draft TGD. In addition to several small typographical changes, the only substantive change from the draft TGD to the final TGD is the updated link to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Asset Management webpage.

 Contact: Questions regarding this action should be directed to Kevin Anderson at (717) 783-9764 or keanderson@pa.gov.

 Effective Date: November 16, 2024

Acting Secretary
