PURPOSE: This rule establishes requirements for reports of water sample analyses and monitoring for lead and copper.

1. (1) Reporting requirements for lead and copper tap water monitoring and for water quality parameter monitoring.

   1. (A) Except as provided in paragraph (1)(A)7. of this rule, a water system shall report to the department the information required by this subsection for all tap water samples and all water quality parameter samples specified in 10 CSR 60-15.080 within the first ten (10) days following the end of each applicable monitoring period specified in 10 CSR 60-15.070, 10 CSR 60-15.080, and 10 CSR 60-15.090 (such as, every six (6) months, annually, or every three (3) years). For monitoring periods with a duration less than six (6) months, the end of the monitoring period is the last date samples can be collected during that period as specified in 10 CSR 60-15.070 and 10 CSR 60-15.080. The water system shall report—

      1. 1. The results of all tap samples for lead

and copper including the location of each site and the criteria under 10 CSR 60-15.070(1) under which the site was selected for the system’s sampling pool;

1. 2. Documentation for each tap water

lead or copper sample for which the water system requests invalidation pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(6);

1. 3. The ninetieth percentile lead and cop-

per concentrations measured from among all lead and copper tap water samples collected during each monitoring period (calculated in accordance with 10 CSR 60-15.010(3)(C)), unless the department calculates the system’s ninetieth percentile lead and copper levels under section (8) of this rule;

1. 4. With the exception of initial tap sam-

pling conducted pursuant to 10 CSR 60- 15.070(4)(A), the system shall specify any site which was not sampled during previous monitoring periods and include an explanation of why sampling sites have changed;

1. 5. The results of all tap samples for pH

and, where applicable, alkalinity, calcium, conductivity, temperature, and orthophosphate or silica collected under 10 CSR 60- 15.080(2)–(5);

1. 6. The results of all samples collected at

the entry point(s) to the distribution system for applicable water quality parameters under 10 CSR 60-15.080(2)–(5); and

1. 7. A water system shall report the results

of all water quality parameter samples collected under 10 CSR 60-15.080(3)–(6) during each six- (6-) month monitoring period specified in 10 CSR 60-15.080(4) within the first ten (10) days following the end of the monitoring period unless the department has specified a more frequent reporting requirement.

1. (B) For a non-transient non-community water system, or a community water system meeting the criteria of 10 CSR 60- 15.060(2)(G) and that does not have enough taps that can provide first-draw samples, the system must either—

   1. 1. Provide written documentation to the

department identifying standing times and locations for enough non-first-draw samples to make up its sampling pool under 10 CSR 60-15.070(2)(E) by the start of the first applicable monitoring period under 10 CSR 60- 15.070(4) that commences after April 11, 2000, unless the department has waived prior department approval of non-first-draw sample sites selected by the system pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(2)(E); or

1. 2. If the department has waived prior

approval of non-first-draw sample sites selected by the system, identify, in writing, each site that did not meet the six- (6-) hour minimum standing time and the length of standing time for that particular substitute sample collected pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(2)(E) and include this information with the lead and copper tap sample results required to be submitted pursuant to paragraph (1)(A)1. of this rule.

1. (C) At a time specified by the department, or if no specific time is designated by the department, then as early as possible prior to the addition of a new source or any long-term change in water treatment, a water system deemed to have optimized corrosion control under 10 CSR 60-15.020(3)(C), a water system subject to reduced monitoring pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(4)(D), or a water system subject to a monitoring waiver pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(7) shall submit written documentation to the department describing the change or addition. The department must review and approve the addition of a new source or long-term change in treatment before it is implemented by the water system. Examples of long-term treatment changes include the addition of a new treatment process or modification of an existing treatment process. Examples of modifications include switching secondary disinfectants, switching coagulants (for example, alum to ferric chloride), and switching corrosion inhibitor products (for example, orthophosphate to blended phosphate). Long-term changes can 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.

2. (D) Any small system applying for a monitoring waiver under 10 CSR 60-15.070(6), or subject to a waiver granted pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(6)(C), shall provide the following information to the state in writing by the specified deadline:

   1. 1. By the start of the first applicable mon-

itoring period in 10 CSR 60-15.070(4), any small water system applying for a monitoring waiver shall provide the documentation required to demonstrate that it meets the waiver criteria of 10 CSR 60-15.070(6)(A)–(B);

1. 2. No later than nine (9) years after the

monitoring previously conducted pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.070(6)(B) or 10 CSR 60- 15.070(6)(D)1., each small system desiring to maintain its monitoring waiver shall provide the information required by 10 CSR 60- 15.070(6)(D)1. and 2.; and

1. 3. No later than sixty (60) days after it

becomes aware that it is no longer free of lead-containing and/or copper-containing material, as appropriate, each small system with a monitoring waiver shall provide written notification to the state, setting forth the circumstances resulting in the lead-containing and/or copper-containing materials being introduced into the system and what corrective action, if any, the system plans to remove these materials.

1. (E) Each groundwater system that limits water quality parameter monitoring to a subset of entry points under 10 CSR 60- 15.080(3)(C) shall provide, by the commencement of such monitoring, written correspondence to the department 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.

1. (2) Source Water Monitoring Reporting Re - quirements.

   1. (A) A water system shall report the sampling results for all source water samples collected in accordance with 10 CSR 60-15.090 within the first ten (10) days following the end of each source water monitoring period (that is, annually, per compliance period, per compliance cycle) specified in 10 CSR 60- 15.090.
   2. (B) With the exception of the first round of source water sampling conducted pursuant to 10 CSR 60-15.090(2), the system shall specify any site which was not sampled during previous monitoring periods and include an explanation of why the sampling point has changed.
