Public Water System Supervision Program Approval for the State of Wisconsin

Notice is hereby given that the State of Wisconsin submitted a primacy application for its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Wisconsin is applying its Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Regulations to all Wisconsin water systems that use surface water and ground water under the influence of surface water as a source, thereby satisfying the requirements of the Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. EPA has determined that the State regulations and procedures submitted by the State to EPA for review are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to award primacy to Wisconsin for Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule implementation. This approval action does not extend to public water systems (PWSs) in Indian Country, as the term is defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these rules, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian Tribes in Wisconsin, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Wisconsin. Any interested party may request a public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by January 21, 2011, to the Regional Administrator at t
