• Monitoring requirements for groundwater and surface water.
• Hauled water monitoring requirements
• Coliform Site Sampling Plan and proper sampling procedures.
• Required monitoring if MCL is violated (e.g., positive coliform).
![Page 23: Transient Non-Community Drinking Water](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568159bc550346895dc71089/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Specific Proposed Revisions of BLM Drinking Water Policy
• Disinfection and flushing of distribution systems prior to seasonal opening.
• Satisfactory coliform monitoring prior to seasonal opening.
• Fire stations with quarters to meet community water system standards.
![Page 24: Transient Non-Community Drinking Water](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568159bc550346895dc71089/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Specific Proposed Revisions of BLM Drinking Water Policy
• Point of use vs. point of entry treatment.
• OSHA’s drinking water regulations.
• Plans and specifications of all new drinking water systems to be submitted to state regulatory agency.
![Page 25: Transient Non-Community Drinking Water](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568159bc550346895dc71089/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Specific Proposed Revisions of BLM Drinking Water Policy
• Ground water under direct influence of surface water determination.
• Recordkeeping
• Mandatory cross-connection control
• Source water protection
• Underground Injection Control
![Page 26: Transient Non-Community Drinking Water](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568159bc550346895dc71089/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Use of BLM Public Land
• Public Land Statistics 1997 estimated approximately 58 million visits to non-fee sites and 3 million visits to fee sites.
![Page 27: Transient Non-Community Drinking Water](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568159bc550346895dc71089/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why 99.99% Is Not Good Enough
• Assuming non-fee sites do not provide water and only half of the 3 million visitors to fee sites drank water from a BLM system;
• If 99.99% of the people consumed water that was free of bacteriological contamination 150 people consumed contaminated water.
