Publicly owned treatment works will get the 276/100 ml as a weekly average and non publicly owned will get it as a daily maximum. They also commented on the language we are using in letters that says that the EMC is adopting the bacteria criteria, they want us to say that is based on the EPA's promulgation of the criteria in November 2004. The reason is that EPA has to give final approval to the triennial review and they haven't done so yet. I understand they haven't received the package yet and they have 90 days to approve it. They question the schedule of compliance we are using but did not object to continue using it. They are going to send us a memo that has more information about schedules of compliance, we did not go into much detail here. I'm sure we will hear more about this latter.
