ABSTRACT
Although the Safe Drinking Water Act was passed over three years ago, and the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations (1975) became effective last June, only a year has elapsed since the first state qualified for primary enforcement responsibility. As a consequence, experiences with administration of Public Law 93–523 are limited. Part of this assessment of jurisdictional problems is based upon experience in development of the Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations, and part upon a review of the potential for problems arising from the provisions of the act. Thus, this discussion in part is based on speculation.
