Systems participating
in drinking water unregulated contaminant monitoring
In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996, EPA
has revised its program that collects data on contaminants that it may
need to regulate in the future. All large public water systems (serving
more than 10,000 people) and a random selection of small public water
systems (serving 10,000 or fewer people) will participate in Assessment
Monitoring for List 1 contaminants. Fact Sheets detailing Assessment Monitoring
are available for Large
and Small
systems.
EPA selected, using a random selection process, large and small systems
to also participate in Screening Surveys for List 2 contaminants. The
List 2 contaminants are being split into two Screening Surveys. Selected
small systems will analyze Screening Survey for List 2 chemical contaminants
in 2001, while selected large systems will analyze Screening Survey for
List 2 chemical contaminants in 2002. A spearate selection of both large
and small systems will analyze for Screening Survey List 2 Aeromonas in
2003. No system will be required to participate in both Screening Surveys.
If a system is selected to take samples for List 2 contaminants, they
will either do chemical monitoring or Aeromonas monitoring. Fact Sheets
detailing Screening Survey monitoring are available for Large
and Small
systems.
