Section 445A.6668 - Program for assessment of sources of groundwater for vulnerability to contaminationA supplier of water may elect to participate in the program of the Division for the assessment of sources of groundwater for vulnerability to contamination. Pursuant to that program, the Division may evaluate a source of water used by a public water system and, based upon its determination of the susceptibility of the source to contamination, authorize a reduction in the required frequency for monitoring the water quality of the source for the presence of certain contaminants. The Division shall base such a determination upon:
1. Any previous results from the monitoring of water quality.2. The proximity of a source of groundwater to potential sources of contamination.3. The environmental persistence and potential mobility of any identified contamination.4. Any policies and procedures that could be carried out to control potential sources of contamination.5. The potential effects in the worst possible case of a release from a potential source of contamination.6. The physical features and conditions in place to protect the source of groundwater from potential sources of contamination, including the design and construction of the well, the type of soil and the hydrogeological environment.Nev. Admin. Code § 445A.6668
