The State of Maine has set an enforceable drinking water standard (MCL) for methyl tertiary-butyl ether known as "MTBE." MTBE generally contaminates drinking water from leaking underground fuel tanks and accidental spills. This chemical has been shown to have adverse effects on laboratory animals after long term exposure to high levels. Chemicals which cause adverse effects in laboratory animals may also cause adverse effects in humans who are exposed at lower levels over long periods of time. The Department has set an enforceable drinking water standard for MTBE of 35 parts per billion to reduce the risk of adverse effects which have been observed in animals. Drinking water which meets this standard is associated with little to no risk and should be considered safe for human consumption.

The Department may require other filtration technologies to meet the combined and/or individual filtration turbidity requirements of conventional or direct filtration, as detailed in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 141.550-141.571. Failure to meet the turbidity requirements may result in the re-evaluation of the previously approved log-removal credit. The Department may grant exceptions to other filtration technologies that were approved, based upon higher turbidity limits.
The Department may require public water systems with other filtration technologies that include a clarification process prior to filtration to remove additional total organic carbon (TOC), similar to the requirements for conventional filtration technologies, at 40 C.F.R. 141.135, if, during any quarter, compliance sample results for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and/or Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) exceed their respective MCLs. The public water system may be triggered into a minimum of 12 months of TOC removal testing (to include a source water TOC, source water alkalinity, and a finished water TOC), along with additional treatment or operational modifications, as required by the Department.

Community water systems that exceed the secondary maximum contaminant level ("SMCL") of 2 mg/l as specified in 40 C.F.R. 143.2 (determined by the last single sample taken in accordance with § 141.23), but do not exceed the MCL of 4 mg/l for fluoride (as specified in § 141.62), must provide the public notice in 40 C.F.R. 141.208(c) to persons served. Public notice must be provided as soon as practical but no later than 12 months from the day the public water system learns of the exceedance. A copy of the notice must also be sent to all new billing units and new customers at the time service begins and to the Department. The public water system must repeat the notice at least annually for as long as the SMCL is exceeded, but in no case less than seven days (even if the exceedance is eliminated). On a case-by-case basis, the Department may require an initial notice sooner than 12 months and repeat notices more frequently than annually.
