Abstract:
In February 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission’s Groundwater Committee revisited a proposal to adopt a temporary rule lowering the groundwater standard for arsenic. The proposal addresses groundwater contaminants which could affect the quality of drinking water and impose health risks. Currently, private wells are not subject to drinking water standards or routinely tested for contamination.
