Agenda
Geology of Saipan and Well Construction
speaker: Mr. Brian Bearden, CNMI DEQ

Many of the participants at the presentation wanted copies of the flow chart for the Ground Water Rule. A pdf file containing the flow charts was e-mailed to everyone on the Association's e-mail list on August 6. A copy of that pdf file is available here: GWR Flow Charts

For more information on the Ground Water Rule, you can download Guidance Manuals, and Quick Reference Guides from EPA's website at: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/disinfection/gwr/compliancehelp.htm
