Public Notice Generator

A Tier 1 violation gives you 24 hours. This generator drafts a notice with the ten required elements of 40 CFR 141.205 so you start from a complete document, not a blank page. Always confirm final language with your state before issuing.

Before you issue: your state may require its own template or specific health-effects wording, and many violations require the exact standard language of 40 CFR Part 141 Subpart Q Appendix B. Send your draft to your state drinking water program for confirmation — for Tier 1, you must consult the state within 24 hours anyway. After delivery, send the certification and a copy of the notice to the state within 10 days. Not legal advice.
