Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 391-3-5-.33 - Variances and Exemptions
(1) Variances and exemptions from certain
provisions of these regulations may be granted by the Director pursuant to
O.C.G.A. Sec.
12-5-178 and
40 CFR §
141.4 and in the case of arsenic,
40 CFR §
142.20(b).
(2) Variances or exemptions from the MCLs for
total coliforms and E. coli and variances from any of the
treatment technique requirements of Subpart H systems may not be granted. As
provided in 40 CFR §
142.304(a), small systems
variances are not available for rules addressing microbial contaminants, which
would include 40 CFR Part 141 Subparts H, P, S, T, W, and Y.
(3) The Division has stayed the effective
date relating to the total coliform MCL of Rule
391-3-5-.18(4)(a)
for systems that demonstrate to the Division that the violation of the total
coliform MCL is due to a persistent growth of total coliforms in the
distribution system rather than fecal or pathogenic contamination, a treatment
lapse or deficiency, or a problem in the operation or maintenance of the
distribution system. This is stayed until March 31, 2016, at which time the
total coliform MCL is no longer effective.
