BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-9446-5] Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of Louisiana AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Louisiana has adopted the Public Notification Rule, Filter Backwash Recycling Rule, Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Radionuclides Rule, and the Revised Drinking Water Standard for Arsenic Rule, to strengthen the protection of public health.
