BOX 640 BOZEMAN, MT 59715 Public Water Supply ID 00161 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.
