RE: FILTRATION OF PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES USING SURFACE WATER
The Administrative Rules of nontana (ARM 16,20.206) adopted pursuant to the 1986
Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act requira that surface water supplies
provide filtration treatment by June 29, 1993. Filtration can be avoided only
if the owner of the public Water supply has demonstrated that strict watershed
control measures and strict water quality requirements can be met.
This letter nerves an your second notice that Lyman Creek in unable to meet the
requirements to avoid filtration. Although we realize the city is pursuing
filtration avoidance or reclassification of the source to groundwater we are
required by EPA to gives second notice to you of the filtration requirements. You
are therefore to a-ither permanently disconnect your unfiltered our-face
water sou=ce, have obtained devart rent approval for reclassification of the
source as groundwater, or protride filtration treatment for the surface water
source and be in compliance w►lth the reguisemaantz of ARM 16.20.208 by June 29,
2993. Failure to meet thin deadline will place the public water system in
violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Such violation may subject the public
water supply to civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day of violation.
At this time we do not anticipate any additional changes are needed to become
classified as groundwater beyond correction of the manhole access in the road at
the Lyman Creek site. Dave Aune, of this office, will be responding to Dave
Mell"a submittal iii this regard ahortl_v. If your system is not likely to make
this change by the Aune 29, 1993 deadline, plea-se respond in writing on or before
January 15, 1993 with justifica
tifln for the failure to meet th,& June 29, 1993
time frame. Please also include your projected date for completing the item.
