Section 611.360  Reporting

 

A supplier must report all of the following information to the Agency in accordance with this Section.

 

a)         Reporting for tap, lead, and copper, and water quality parameter monitoring.

 

1)         Except as provided in subsection (a)(1)(viii) of this Section, a supplier must report the following information for all samples specified in Section 611.356 and for all water quality parameter samples specified in Section 611.357 within ten days of the end of each applicable sampling period specified in Sections 611.356 and 611.357 (i.e., every six months, annually, every three years, or every nine years).  For a monitoring period with a duration less than six months, the end of the monitoring period is the last date on which samples can be collected during that period, as specified in Sections 611.356 and 611.357.

 

A)        The results of all tap samples for lead and copper, including the location of each site and the criteria under Section 611.356(a)(3) through (a)(7) under which the site was selected for the supplier's sampling pool;

 

B)        Documentation for each tap water lead or copper sample for which the water supplier requests invalidation pursuant to Section 611.356(f)(2);

 

C)        This subsection (a)(1)(C) corresponds with 40 CFR 141.90(a)(1)(iii), a provision that USEPA removed and marked "reserved."  This statement preserves structural parity with the federal rules;

 

D)        The 90^th percentile lead and copper concentrations measured from among all lead and copper tap samples collected during each sampling period (calculated in accordance with Section 611.350(c)(3)), unless the Agency calculates the system's 90^th percentile lead and copper levels under subsection (h) of this Section;

 

E)        With the exception of initial tap sampling conducted pursuant to Section 611.356(d)(1), the supplier must designate any site that was not sampled during previous sampling periods, and include an explanation of why sampling sites have changed;

 

F)         The results of all tap samples for pH, and where applicable, alkalinity, calcium, conductivity, temperature, and orthophosphate or silica collected pursuant to Section 611.357(b) through (e);

 

G)        The results of all samples collected at entry points for applicable water quality parameters pursuant to Section 611.357(b) through (e).

 

H)        A water supplier must report the results of all water quality parameter samples collected under Section 611.357(c) through (f) during each six-month monitoring period specified in Section 611.357(d) within the first 10 days following the end of the monitoring period, unless the Agency has specified, by a SEP granted pursuant to Section 611.110, a more frequent reporting requirement.

 

2)         For a NTNCWS supplier, or a CWS supplier meeting the criteria of Sections 611.355(b)(7)(A) and (b)(7)(B), that does not have enough taps which can provide first-draw samples, the supplier must do either of the following:

 

A)        Provide written documentation to the Agency that identifies standing times and locations for enough non-first-draw samples to make up its sampling pool under Section 611.356(b)(5) by the start of the first applicable monitoring period under Section 611.356(d) that commenced after April 11, 2000, unless the Agency has waived prior Agency approval of non-first-draw sampling sites selected by the supplier pursuant to Section 611.356(b)(5); or

 

B)        If the Agency has waived prior approval of non-first-draw sampling sites selected by the supplier, identify, in writing, each site that did not meet the six-hour minimum standing time and the length of standing time for that particular substitute sample collected pursuant to Section 611.356(b)(5) and include this information with the lead and copper tap sample results required to be submitted pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(A) of this Section.

 

3)         At a time specified by the Agency, by a SEP issued pursuant to Section 611.110, or if no specific time is designated by the Agency, then as early as possible prior to the addition of a new source or any change in water treatment, a water supplier deemed to have optimized corrosion control under Section 611.351(b)(3), a water supplier subject to reduced monitoring pursuant to Section 611.356(d)(4), or a water supplier subject to a monitoring waiver pursuant to Section 611.356(g), must submit written documentation to the Agency describing the change or addition.

 

4)         Any small system supplier applying for a monitoring waiver under Section 611.356(g), or subject to a waiver granted pursuant to Section 611.356(g)(3), must provide the following information to the Agency in writing by the specified deadline:

 

A)        By the start of the first applicable monitoring period in Section 611.356(d), any small water system 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 (g)(2).

 

B)        No later than nine years after the monitoring previously conducted pursuant to Section 611.356(g)(2) or Section 611.356(g)(4)(A), each small system supplier desiring to maintain its monitoring waiver must provide the information required by Sections 611.356(g)(4)(A) and (g)(4)(B).

 

C)        No later than 60 days after it becomes aware that it is no longer free of lead-containing or copper-containing material, as appropriate, each small system supplier with a monitoring waiver must provide written notification to the Agency, setting forth the circumstances resulting in the lead-containing or copper-containing materials being introduced into the system and what corrective action, if any, the supplier plans to remove these materials.

 

D)        By October 10, 2000, any small system supplier with a waiver granted prior to April 11, 2000 and that had not previously met the requirements of Section 611.356(g)(2) must have provided the information required by that subsection.

 

5)         Each GWS supplier that limits water quality parameter monitoring to a subset of entry points under Section 611.357(c)(3) 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.

 

b)         Reporting for source water monitoring.

 

1)         A supplier must report the sampling results for all source water samples collected in accordance with Section 611.358 within ten days of the end of each source water sampling period (i.e., annually, per compliance period, per compliance cycle) specified in Section 611.358.

 

2)         With the exception of the first round of source water sampling conducted pursuant to Section 611.358(b), a supplier must specify any site that was not sampled during previous sampling periods, and include an explanation of why the sampling point has changed.

 

c)         Reporting for corrosion control treatment.
