The reasons behind the implementation still stand.

Yes Clinton improving his "legacy" among "environmentally conscious" voters while giving the Bush administration a headache to deal with.

And the big headache is what?

Clinton push the regulation in the final hours of his administration. There was no dramatic new scientific findings just before he did this. If he thought it was important he should have implemented the policy long before the end.

It came at the conclusion of 4 years of research. Damn the scientists for not being more timely. How could they have been so thoughtless to poor Mr. Bush?!

There is no solid evidence that strongly shows that 50 parts per billion is harmful while 10 parts per billion is just fine.

Just like there is no evidence of global warming? That there is no evidence of WMD? That there is no evidence that Saddam stayed away from al Qaeda? That there is no evidence that the Bush administration was planning to attack Iraq prior to 9/11?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.........we've heard it all before. The truth is you don't care if 50 parts of arsenic is dangerous or not. You just don't want gov't interfering with your drinking water whether it hurts you or not.

Show me such evidence. It doesn't exist. 50ppb might be fine or 10ppb might still be harmful. The 10ppb, like many limits in environmental regulation, is rather arbitrary.

Do a google search.........I am sure the arsenic research is online. Better yet....take a trip to Bangladesh......you can see first hand people who have been poisoned by 50 parts of arsenic in their water.
