The US EPA proposes to amend the
subject ICR to a Method 1605 for the analysis of Aeromonas, a
Unregulated Contaminant Monitor- ing Rule (UCMR) contaminant. The
monitoring requirements for Ameromonas were proposed in June 200

11, 2001 UCMR. As specified in that rule, 180 small public water
systems and 120 large public water systems were randomly selected
from those systems conducted UCMR monitoring.
