Lead and Copper Rule; Expert Panel Workshops on Simultaneous Compliance and Monitoring Protocols

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is convening two expert panel workshops to discuss issues associated with the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). The first of these workshops, Simultaneous Compliance and the Lead and Copper Rule, will discuss how utilities manage treatment decisions to ensure simultaneous compliance with the LCR and National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. The second workshop, LCR Monitoring Protocols, will examine and discuss potential issues associated with the current LCR sampling and monitoring requirements for lead, copper, and water quality parameters.
