Specifically, the proposed amendments to the Ground Water Quality Standards rules would incorporate interim specific ground water quality criteria, interim practical quantitation levels (PQLs), and interim standards for 23 constituents of ground water as specific ground water quality criteria, PQLs, and standards by adding them to Appendix Table 1 and would also allow the Department to use alternative values or modified equations in the derivation of interim specific and specific ground water quality criteria when necessary to ensure that the criteria reflect the best available science and adequately protect human health. The proposed amendments to the Discharges of Petroleum and Other Hazardous Substances Rules would add perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) to the List of Hazardous Substances at Appendix A.<\/p>\n
