monitoring results electronically, the system may use an alternative approach
for reporting monitoring results the EPA approves.
(c)
Methods for reporting initial
source water monitoring results to the Department. Systems serving
less than 10,000 people shall report results from the initial source water
monitoring required under §
109.1202(a) to
the Department using a method approved by the Department.
(d)
Methods for reporting second
round of source water monitoring results to the Department. All
systems shall report results from the second round of source water monitoring
required under §
109.1202(b) to
the Department using a method approved by the Department.
(e)
Source water reporting data
elements. Systems shall report the applicable information in
paragraphs (1) and (2) for the source water monitoring required under §
109.1202.
(1)
Cryptosporidium data
elements. Systems shall report data elements in subparagraphs
(i)-(viii) for each
Cryptosporidium analysis. Systems shall
report, in a form acceptable to the Department, data elements in subparagraphs
(ix)-(xi) as applicable.
(i) PWS ID.
(ii) Source ID.
(iii) Sample collection date.
(iv) Sample type (field or matrix
spike).
(v) Sample volume filtered
(L), to nearest 1/4 L.
(vi)
Indicate whether 100% of filtered volume was examined.
(vii) Number of oocysts occurred.
(viii) The concentration of oocysts per
liter.
(ix) For matrix spike
samples, systems shall also report the sample volume spiked and estimated
number of oocysts spiked. These data are not required for field
samples.
(x) For samples in which
less than 10 L is filtered or less than 100% of the sample volume is examined,
systems shall also report the number of filters used and the packed pellet
volume.
(xi) For samples in which
less than 100% of sample volume is examined, systems shall also report the
volume of resuspended concentrate and volume of this resuspension processed
through immunomagnetic separation.
(2) E. coli
data elements.
Systems shall report, in a form acceptable to the Department, the following
data elements for each
E. coli analysis:
(i) PWS ID.
(ii) Source ID.
(iii) Sample collection date.
(iv) Analytical method number.
(v) Method type.
(vi) Source type (flowing stream,
lake/reservoir, GUDI).
(vii)
E. coli/ 100 mL.
(viii) Turbidity, if monitoring is required
under §
109.1202.
(f)
Sampling schedule
reporting. Systems shall report sampling schedules under §
109.1202(h)-(j)
and source water monitoring results under subsections (a)-(e) unless they
notify the Department that they will not conduct source water monitoring due to
meeting the criteria of § 109.1202(d).
(g)
Bin classification
reporting. Systems shall report their
Cryptosporidium
bin classification as follows:
(1) Systems
shall report their initial bin classification under §
109.1203(c)
(relating to bin classification and treatment technique requirements) to the
Department for approval no later than 6 months after the system is required to
complete initial source water monitoring based on the schedule in §
109.1202(c).
(2) Systems shall
report their bin classification under §
109.1203(c) to
the Department for approval no later than 6 months after the system is required
to complete the second round of source water monitoring based on the schedule
in § 109.1202(c).
(3) The bin
classification report to the Department will include a summary of source water
monitoring data and the calculation procedure used to determine bin
classification.
(4) Failure to
comply with the conditions of this subsection is a violation of the treatment
technique requirement.
(h)
Microbial toolbox reporting
requirements. Systems are required to report items specified in §
109.1204 (relating to requirements
for microbial toolbox components) for all toolbox components for which they are
requesting treatment credit. Systems must report to the State in accordance
with Appendix C to Subchapter L. Microbial Toolbox Reporting Requirements in a
form acceptable to the Department. Systems using treatment options other than
conventional, direct, slow sand or diatomaceous earth filtration for bin 1
sources shall also report, in a form acceptable to the Department, the items
specified in §
109.1204 for the treatment options
used.
(i)
Reporting
significant change in disinfection practices. Prior to making a
significant change in disinfection practice, systems shall report disinfection
profiles and benchmarks to the Department as established by the EPA under the
National Primary Drinking Water regulations in
40 CFR
141.708 and
141.709 (relating to requirements
when making a significant change in disinfection practice; and developing the
disinfection profile and benchmark), which are incorporated by reference in
§
109.204 (relating to disinfection
profiling and benchmarking).
(j)
Source water monitoring recordkeeping requirements. Systems
shall keep results from the initial round of source water monitoring under
§
109.1202(a) and
the second round of source water monitoring under §
109.1202(b) until
3 years after bin classification under § 109.1203 (b) and (c).
(k)
Notification retention.
Systems shall keep any notification to the Department that they will not
conduct source water monitoring due to meeting the criteria of §
109.1202(d) for 3 years.
(l)
Results retention. Systems shall keep the results of treatment
monitoring associated with microbial toolbox options under § 109.1204, as
applicable, for 3 years.
