Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation: Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, referred to as the LT2 rule imposes new (published in the US Federal Register on 5 January, 2006) requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated. This applies to Portland's five open reservoirs and to the unfiltered Bull Run source supplying them.
