The Bureau of Safe Drinking Water implements the Public Water System Supervision Program (PWSSP) and the Laboratory Certification Program (LCP). The PWSSP is authorized under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and maintains primacy for the State of Nevada. State implementation of the PWSSP ensures Nevada's public water systems comply with state and federal drinking water standards by enforcing the sampling, monitoring, and National Primary Drinking Water standards, including requirements for water quality, surface water treatment, and corrosion control. The program assesses water sources (including identification of potential contaminant sources); assists communities and water systems in developing and implementing source water protection strategies; conducts sanitary surveys; certifies the qualifications of public water system operators; and requires public notification when systems are out of compliance. The bureau also reviews engineering plans for public water systems and the subdivision of land. Additionally, PWSSP provides training, information transfer, and regulatory update presentations at meetings of water industry associations. This program is funded by federal grants and fees. The LCP assesses laboratories and produces information used in regulatory decision-making by division programs in Safe Drinking Water, Water Pollution Control, Mining Regulation and Reclamation, Waste Management, and Corrective Actions. Pursuant to NRS 445A.428, 445A.863, and NRS 459.501, laboratories that perform analyses to meet requirements of the SDWA, Clean Water Act, and Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, must be certified by the State of Nevada. Labs analyzing mining methods to meet Mining Regulations must be certified or state approved by the State of Nevada. The LCP program ensures that analyses are conducted according to Environmental Protection Agency and state approved methods with accurate and reproducible results. This program is funded by fees. Statutory Authority: NRS 445A.800-.955, 445A.300-.730, and 459.400-.600.
