Description
This one hour short course details one of the rules promulgated by the USEPA as part of the Drinking Water Quality Standards. We will discuss only the requirements put forth by the USEPA not the individual states. The states, as a condition of primacy are required to make regulations "equal to or stricter than" those progumated by the USEPA and most have copied wholesale their rules from the Code of Federal Regulations regarding drinking water regulations. This short course addresses the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) as put forth in Subpart I Control of Lead and Copper (40 CFR 141.80 and other documents).

Basic thru Intermediate
Course Content
We will discuss the requirements, the necessary testing and monitoring, and methods of complying with the rule. It is not necessary that you be a chemist or an engineer but an understanding of basic principles of water treatment and some basic chemistry will make the treatment section of the course seem easier. I will endeavor to explain everything as we progress. This course is not a rigorous study and it will not be necessary to memorize or derive equations. This course is conceived to impart a good background, an understanding on which to build.
Each paragraph reviews a concept necessary to an understanding of water chemistry. Throughout the text, terms that are particularly important are typed in bold. Hovering your cursor over a term in bold will usually bring up a definition for that term. In each section, grayed boxes give hints, rules of thumb, and other notes that help clarify the concepts presented. An example of some of the engineering is presented after the
