Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of South Carolina is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. South 
Carolina has adopted drinking water regulations for the Filter Backwash 
Recycling Rule. EPA has determined that the State Filter Backwash 
Recycling Rule meets all minimum federal requirements, and is no less 
stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA 
has tentatively decided to approve the State program revisions.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by August 11, 2003 to the Regional 
Administrator at the address shown below. Frivolous or insubstantial 
requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator. 
However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by 
August 11, 2003, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and 
appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional 
Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this 
determination shall become final and effective on August 11, 2003. Any 
request for a public hearing shall include the following information: 
(1) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing. (2) A brief 
statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional 
Administrator's determination and of information that the requesting 
person intends to submit at such hearing. (3) The signature of the 
individual making the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of 
an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible 
official of the organization or other entity.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices:

of Water, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201.
