In a reverse decision from 2008 preliminary determinations, the EPA has decided to regulate perchlorate under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The action of the EPA has been that of notification and will include developing and establishing a national primary drinking water regulations in the future. Certain public water systems will be required to take action when the regulation becomes final. The proposed regulation is required within 24 months and then the final regulation will be issued within 18 months of the proposal.
