Proposed Emergency Rulemaking - Reporting Requirements (SWRCB-DDW-21-002E)

The State Water Resources Control Board is initiating a proposed emergency rulemaking project, identified as SWRCB-DDW-21-002E, to amend title 22, section 64469 of the California Code of Regulations. This regulatory action is designed to empower the State Water Board to directly enforce electronic reporting requirements against public water systems. Under these regulations, public water systems are held responsible for employing accredited laboratories to conduct drinking water analysis and ensure that all regulatory results are reported through the California Laboratory Intake Portal (CLIP). The primary objectives of this initiative are to enhance statewide water quality monitoring and strengthen public health protections. This project is classified as a special notice with a NAICS code of 926140 and is being implemented statewide. A Notice of Exemption has been filed under CEQA sections 15306 and 15061(b)(3), as the project focuses on information collection and is not expected to result in significant environmental impacts. Administrative oversight is managed by the State Water Resources Control Board in Sacramento, with key points of contact including Dan Wang and Debora Lancaster.
