ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TITLE 35: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SUBTITLE F: PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES CHAPTER I: POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD PART 611 PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS SECTION 611.360 REPORTING
Section 611.360 Reporting
A supplier must report the following information to the Agency in compliance with this Section.
a) Reporting requirements for tap monitoring for lead and copper and for distribution system and entry point monitoring for water quality parameters.
1) By the start of a supplier's first lead and copper tap monitoring period in Section 611.356(c) and 611.356(d), suppliers must submit the following to the Agency:
A) A site sample plan, including a list of tap sample site locations for lead and copper sampling identified from the inventory in Section 611.354(a), and a list of tap sampling sites and entry point to the distribution system sites for water quality parameter monitoring selected under Section 611.357(a)(1) and 611.357(a)(2). Changes to the site sample plan require suppliers to submit an updated site sample plan to the Agency before the start of the next tap sampling period conducted by the supplier. The Agency may require modifications to the site sample plan as necessary.
i) Suppliers with lead, galvanized requiring replacement, and/or lead status unknown service lines in the service line inventory conducted under Section 611.354(a) and (b) must evaluate the tap sampling locations for lead and copper used in their sampling pool prior to the start of each tap sampling period, beginning with the compliance date specified in 611.350(a)(3). Evaluations that result in changes to the site sample plan require suppliers to submit an updated site sample plan to the Agency prior to each tap sampling period conducted by the supplier.
ii) A supplier that cannot identify enough sampling sites with premise plumbing made of lead and/or served by lead service lines to meet the minimum number of sample sites required in Section 611.356(c)(1) or (d)(1), as required under Section 611.356(a)(3), must submit documentation, including documentation of applicable customer refusals for sampling, in support of the conclusion that there are an insufficient number of available sites with premise plumbing made of lead and/or served by lead service lines, prior to the next tap sampling period.
B) A copy of the sample collection instructions provided to individuals who are sampling, which meets the requirements of Section 611.356(b). If supplier seeks to modify its sample collection instructions specified in this subsection (a)(1)(B), it must submit the updated version of the instructions to the Agency for review prior to the next tap sampling period.
2) Notwithstanding the requirements of § 40 C.F.R. 141.31(a), a supplier must report the information specified in subsections (a)(2)(B) through (G), for all lead and copper tap samples specified in Section 611.356 and for all water quality parameter distribution system and entry point samples specified in Section 611.357, within the first 10 days following the end of each applicable sampling period specified in Sections 611.356 and 611.357, unless the Agency specified an earlier reporting requirement. For tap sampling periods with a duration less than six months, the end of the sampling period is the last date samples can be collected as specified in Section 611.356.
A) The results of all tap samples for lead and copper collected during the tap sampling period, including results for both first- and fifth-liter samples collected at lead service line sites, the location of each site, and the site selection criteria under Section 611.356(a)(3) and (a)(4) used as the basis for which the site was selected for the supplier's sampling pool;
B) Documentation for each tap water lead or copper sample for which the supplier requests invalidation under Section 611.356(f);
C) With the exception of initial tap sampling conducted under Section 611.356(c)(2)(A), a certification the results of monitoring from the tap monitoring period before the tap monitoring period described in this subsection (a)(2) were publicly accessible, as specified in Section 611.356(h);
D) The 90th percentile lead and copper concentrations calculated from lead and copper tap water samples collected during each tap sampling period in compliance with Section 611.350 (c)(3), unless the Agency calculates the supplier's 90th percentile lead and copper levels under subsection (h);
E) With the exception of initial tap sampling conducted under Section 611.356(c)(2)(A), the supplier must identify any site which was not sampled during the tap monitoring period previous to the applicable tap monitoring period described in this subsection (a)(2), and include an explanation of why sampling sites have changed;
F) The results of all tap samples for water quality parameters required to be collected under Sections 611.357(b) through 611.357(d);
G) The results of all samples collected at the entry point(s) to the distribution system for water quality parameters as required in Section 611.357(b) through 611.357(d); and
H) The number of sites from which the supplier requested customer participation for sampling during the tap sampling period and the customer did not respond after two attempts or refused to participate.
3) For a NTNCWS, or a CWS supplier meeting the criteria of Section 611.355(b)(8), that does not have enough taps and can provide first liter or first-and fifth-liter paired samples meeting the six-hour minimum stagnation time, the supplier must either:
A) Provide written documentation identifying standing times and locations for samples that do not meet the six-hour minimum stagnation time to make up a supplier's sampling pool in order to meet the minimum number of sites to sample required in Section 611.356(b)(3) by the start of the supplier's first applicable tap monitoring period under Section 611.356(c), or if there are changes to the documentation, prior to the next tap sampling period, unless the Agency waived prior approval of sample sites not meeting the six-hour stagnation time selected by the supplier under Section 611.356(b)(3); or
B) If the Agency waived prior approval of sample sites not meeting the six-hour stagnation time selected by the supplier, identify, in writing, each site that did not meet the six-hour minimum stagnation time and the length of standing time for that particular substitute sample collected under Section 611.356(b)(3) and include this information with the lead and copper tap sample results required to be submitted in compliance with subsection (a)(2)(A).
BOARD NOTE: USEPA gives examples of long-term changes in treatment including adding a new treatment process or modifying an existing treatment process. USEPA gives examples of modifying treatment including switching secondary disinfectants, coagulants (e.g., alum to ferric chloride), or corrosion inhibitor (e.g., orthophosphate to blended phosphate). USEPA said that long-term changes can also include dose changes to existing chemicals if the supplier plans long-term changes to its finished water pH or residual inhibitor concentration. USEPA said that long-term treatment changes would not include chemical dose fluctuations associated with daily raw water quality changes where the supplier does not add a new source.
4) At a time specified by the Agency, or if no specific time is designated, as early as possible but no later than six months prior to the addition of a new source or any long-term change in water treatment, a supplier must submit written documentation describing the addition of a new source or long-term change in treatment to the Agency. Suppliers may not implement the addition of a new source or long-term treatment change without Agency approval. The Agency must review and approve the addition of a new source or a long-term change in water treatment before it can be implemented by the supplier. The Agency may require any such supplier to take actions before or after the addition of a new source or long-term treatment change to ensure that the supplier will operate and maintain optimal corrosion control treatment, such as additional water quality parameter monitoring, additional lead or copper tap sampling, and re-evaluating corrosion control treatment. Examples of long-term treatment changes include but are not limited to the addition of a new treatment process or modification of an existing treatment process. Examples of modifications include switching secondary disinfectants, switching coagulants (e.g., alum to ferric chloride), and switching corrosion inhibitor products (e.g., orthophosphate to blended phosphate). Long-term treatment changes can also include dose changes to existing chemicals if the system is planning long-term changes to its finished water pH or residual inhibitor concentration. Long-term treatment changes would not include chemical dose fluctuations associated with daily raw water quality changes where a new source has not been added.
5) Any suppler serving 3,300 or fewer persons applying for a monitoring waiver under Section 611.356(g), or subject to a waiver granted under Section 356 (g)(3), must provide the following information to the Agency in writing by the specified deadline:
A) By the start of the supplier's first applicable tap monitoring period in Section 611.356(c) and 611.356 (d), any supplier applying for a monitoring waiver must provide the documentation required to demonstrate that it meets the waiver criteria of Sections 611.356(g)(1) and 611.356(g)(2) to the Agency.
B) Prior to the beginning of each tap monitoring period in which the supplier desires to maintain its monitoring waiver under Section 611.356(g)(2) or 611.356(g)(4), the supplier must provide the information required by Section 611.356(g)(4)(A) and 611.356(g)(4)(B) to the Agency.
C) No later than 60 days after it becomes aware that it is no longer free of lead-containing and/or copper-containing material, as appropriate, each supplier with a monitoring waiver must provide written notification to the Agency setting forth the circumstances resulting in the lead-containing and/or copper-containing materials being discovered in the supplier's system and what corrective action, if any, the supplier plans to take to remove these materials.
6) Each supplier that limits water quality parameter monitoring to a subset of entry points under Section 611.357(b)(3)(B) must provide, by the commencement of such monitoring, written correspondence to the Agency that identifies the selected entry points and includes information sufficient to demonstrate that the sites are representative of water quality and treatment conditions throughout the system.
