Document Description
The State Water Board is amending approximately 3,000 permits for public water systems to require that public water systems that serve one or more K-12 schools coordinate with local schools to develop a lead sampling plan for any school that requests assistance, and to collect up to five lead samples at faucets that are routinely used by staff and students.
The project involves amending permits to require sampling of existing drinking water faucets at schools, and it will not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource, will not involve construction, and would not result in the relaxation of any existing standard. There will be no effect on the environment.
