MICHIGAN SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT
1976 PA 399, as Amended, and the Administrative Rules
|
Rule
304. Variances from an MCL other than
total coliform or from a treatment technique other than filtration and
disinfection may be granted by the director only upon his or her specific
finding that either of the following conditions exists:
(a)
The supplier of water demonstrates that the characteristics of the raw water
source or sources which are reasonably available to the public water supply do
not permit the public water supply to meet the maximum contaminant level
specified in a state drinking water standard despite application of the best
available treatment technology, techniques, or other means which the department
finds are generally available, taking costs into consideration, and that the
granting of a variance will not result in an unreasonable risk to the health of
persons served by the public water supply.
(b) The supplier of water demonstrates that a specific treatment
technique is not necessary to protect the health of persons served by the
public water supply, and that the granting of the variance will not result in
an unreasonable risk to the health of persons served by the public water
supply.
