EPA Receives Six-Month Extension to Finalize Regulation for Perchlorate in Drinking Water

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency received an extension of six months for finalizing the rule of regulating perchlorate in drinking water. The deadline is now June 19, 2020 to finalize the rule. The EPA is proposing to set both the enforceable maximum contaminant level (MCL) for the perchlorate regulation and the perchlorate maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) at 0.056 mg/L (56 μg/L).
