Cite as Mich. Admin. Code R 325.10610
Rule 610. (1) Both of the following apply to bromate and chlorite:
(a) The maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for bromate and chlorite are as follows:
Disinfection byproduct
MCL (mg/l)
Bromate
0.010
Chlorite
1.0
(b) The best available technologies, treatment techniques, or other means available for
achieving compliance with the MCLs are as follows:
Disinfection byproduct
Best available technology.
Bromate
Control of ozone treatment process to reduce production of
bromate.
Chlorite
Control of treatment processes to reduce disinfectant demand
and control of disinfection treatment processes to reduce
disinfectant levels.
(2) All of the following apply to total trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids:
(a) The MCLs for TTHM and HAA5 are as follows:
Disinfection byproduct
MCL (mg/L)
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)
0.080
Haloacetic acids (five) (HAA5)
0.060
(b) For all supplies that disinfect their source water, the best available technologies,
treatment techniques, or other means available for achieving compliance with the MCLs
under subdivision (a) of this subrule are as follows:
Disinfection byproduct
Best available technology
Total trihalomethanes
(TTHM) and
Haloacetic acids (five)
(HAA5).
Enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening, plus GAC10;
or nanofiltration with a molecular weight cutoff less than or
equal to 1000 Daltons; or GAC20
(c) The best technology, treatment techniques, or other means available for achieving
compliance with the MCLs for TTHM and HAA5 under subdivision (a) of this subrule for
consecutive supplies are as follows and applies only to the disinfected water that
consecutive supplies buy or otherwise receive.
Disinfection byproduct
Best available technology
Total trihalomethanes
(TTHM) and
Haloacetic acids (five)
(HAA5).
Supplies serving 10,000 or more people: Improved
distribution system and storage tank management to reduce
residence time, plus the use of chloramines for disinfectant
residual maintenance.
Supplies serving fewer than 10,000 people: Improved
distribution system and storage tank management to reduce
residence time
