1 A PWS may use this equation to determine log credit between the indicated values: Log credit = (0.0397 × (1.09757)^Temp) × CT).

(c) The commissioner may approve alternative chlorine dioxide or ozone CT values to those listed in subsection (b):

(1) on a site-specific basis; and

(2) based on a site-specific study conducted by the PWS that follows a protocol approved by the commissioner.

(d) A PWS may receive Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, and virus treatment credits for ultraviolet (UV) light reactors by meeting the following:

(1) The ultraviolet (UV) light reactors must achieve the corresponding UV dose values shown under subdivision (3).

(2) A PWS shall validate and monitor UV reactors as described under subdivisions (4) and (5) to demonstrate that they are achieving a particular UV dose value for treatment credit.

(3) The UV light treatment credits listed under Table 20(c) in clause (C) are available under the following conditions:

(A) For UV light at a wavelength of two hundred fifty-four (254) nanometers as produced by a low pressure mercury vapor lamp.

(B) To receive treatment credit for lamp types other than two hundred fifty-four (254) nanometers, a PWS shall demonstrate an equivalent germicidal dose through reactor validation testing described under subdivision (4).

(C) The UV dose values under the following table are applicable only to post-filter applications of UV in filtered systems:
