Are there Public Notification (PN) requirements for the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR)?
Yes, community and non-transient non-community Public Water Systems (PWS) that are required to monitor for unregulated contaminants must notify persons they serve of the availability of the results with a Tier 3 notice no later than 12 months after the monitoring results are known. Additionally, a failure to monitor for unregulated contaminants would be a violation of the UCMR and would trigger a Tier 3 notice. PWS can use their CCR to meet this requirement with MassDEP approval.
