VARIANCES AND EXEMPTIONS

5-1.90 Variance from a maximum contaninant level. (a) The supplier of water may request, and the department may grant, one or more variances from an MCL contained in sections 5-1.51 and 5-1.52 tables 1, 3, 5 and 7 of this Subpart to any public water system based on a finding that:

(2) the granting of a variance will not result in an unreasonable risk to health.

(b) At the time of the granting of the variance, the department shall prescribe, and the supplier of water shall follow, a schedule for:

(2) implementation of such control measures as the department may require.
