1. (6) To receive approval to conduct analyses for copper and lead, the laboratory must—

   1. (A) Analyze performance evaluation samples which include those substances provided by EPA Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory or equivalent samples provided by the department;
   2. (B) Achieve quantitative acceptance limits for copper plus or minus ten percent (±10%) of the actual amount in the performance evaluation sample when the actual amount is greater than or equal to 0.050 mg/l; lead plus or minus thirty percent (±30%) of the actual amount in the performance evaluation sample when the actual amount is greater than or equal to 0.005 mg/l; and

2. (7) Analysis for disinfection byproducts must be conducted by laboratories that have received certification by the department except that a party approved by the department must measure daily chlorite samples at the entrance to the distribution system.

In these analyses of PE samples, the laboratory must achieve quantitative results within the acceptance limit on a minimum of eighty percent (80%) of the analytes included in each PE sample. The acceptance limit is defined as the ninetyfive percent (95%) confidence interval calculated around the mean of the PE study data between a maximum and minimum acceptance limit of plus or minus fifty percent (±50%) and plus or minus fifteen percent (±15%) of the study mean.
3. (8) The department has the authority to allow the use of previously collected monitoring data for purposes of monitoring, if the data were collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements of this rule.

Method Detection Limit (MDL) must be either reported as measured or they can be reported as one-half (1/2) the PQL (0.0025 mg/l). All levels below the lead MDL must be reported as zero (0).

1. (10) All copper levels measured between the PQL and the MDL must be either reported as measured or they can be reported as one-half (1/2) the PQL (0.015 mg/l). All levels below the copper MDL must be reported as zero (0).
2. (11) Operational monitoring measurements required by 10 CSR 60-4.080(3) shall be performed on-site by persons acceptable to the department.
3. (12) The department will consider acceptance of analytical results from out-of-state laboratories upon written request.
