MassDEP proposes to revise its regulations at 310 CMR 22.00 Drinking Water to adopt corrections to the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) requested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of their primacy review, update the approved analytical methods to measure Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), clarify water supply land acquisition and disposition requirements and make other minor improvements and corrections throughout the regulation. Changes to 314 CMR 5.00 Ground Water Discharge Permit Program to add an activity to the list of exempt activities for discharges from wells during drilling, pump testing and purging for the purposes of sampling.
