Although most schools in the district are improving , some are n't making enough progress to meet federal standards . The rivers do not meet federal standards for drinking , swimming or fishing due , in part , to run-off from dairy farms . And while the NRDC claimed that federal standards did not apply to the majority of bottled water , which does not cross state lines , Kay says the standards apply whenever the water , or even a bottlecap or label , crosses state lines . The interest of amici States in this case is real and immediate , as real as the decision as to which industries to control and how much in order to be able to meet a federal standard , and as immediate as the asthma attack that takes a child from the softball field to the hospital on a hot summer day . We thus affirm the ALJ 's determination that compliance , if any , with state staffing requirements does not preclude citation for noncompliance with the federal standard . To accomplish this goal , our legislative package will establish a federal standard that permits entry to the local telephone markets . The Environmental Working Group criticized the process , saying it lets utilities tell their customers that they meet all the federal standards even though the water they drink may pose health problems . Groups such as the Environmental Working Group , a Washington , DC-based advocacy group , agree that agencies do a commendable job of making sure that drinking water meets federal standards , but are concerned about unregulated chemicals from pesticides , industrial and urban waste for which there are no standards . As a result , electronic or digital signature legislation may be ripe for a single federal standard . The new federal standard requires Arizona 's 1,700 public water systems to lower the concentration of arsenic in their drinking water from 50 parts per billion to 10 ppb by January 2006 .
