This month's question asks about compliance with the Disinfectant/Disinfection Byproduct (D/DBP) Rule, the deadline for compliance, and whether the regulation makes provision for the haloacetic (bromochloroacetic) acid. The answer first addresses the compliance question, citing the Stage 1 proposed D/DBP Rule maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and for the total five haloacetic acids (HAA5). The article gives the time period required in which to comply after promulgation of the rule. Specific instruction regarding bromochloroacetic acid is given.
