To assist the Office of Drinking Water in estimating the state costs of regulatory options and in providing guidance and assistance to state programs, the Survey of State Primacy Program Resource Needs was conducted in the summer and fall of 1988. The survey was a joint effort between EPA and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA). A detailed 18 page questionnaire and a 38 page supplement were prepared to obtain from each state and territory an estimate of the staff and funding resources needed both to implement existing programs and to meet the new requirements. ASDWA distributed the survey to all states and territories and compiled the responses in a data base as they were received. EPA supported ASDWA in delineating the expected requirements, providing implementation schedules of the forthcoming rules, and analyzing the results of the survey. The report discusses the methodology used in developing and conducting the survey and presents the results of the analyses.
