A. Applicability.
This part R.61-58.14 applies to community water systems that use a primary or residual disinfectant other than ultraviolet light or delivers water that has been treated with a primary or residual disinfectant other than ultraviolet light. This part also applies to non-transient non-community water systems that serve at least 10,000 people and use a primary or residual disinfectant other than ultraviolet light or delivers water that has been treated with a primary or residual disinfectant other than ultraviolet light.
B. General Requirements.
- (1) The requirements of this part R.61-58.14 constitute national primary drinking water regulations. The regulations in this part establish monitoring and other requirements for identifying compliance monitoring locations specified in R.61-58.15 for determining compliance with maximum contaminant levels for total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids (five)(HAA5). Public water systems must use an Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) to determine locations with representative high TTHM and HAA5 concentrations throughout their distribution system. IDSEs are used in conjunction with, but separate from, R.61-58.13 compliance monitoring, to identify and select R.61-58.15 compliance monitoring locations.

The IDSE report must include the elements required in paragraphs (2)(a) through (2)(f) of this section. Systems must submit their IDSE report according to the schedule in R.61-58.14.B(2).
E. 40/30 Certification
(1) Eligibility
- (a) If 40/30 certification is due October 1, 2006, then eligibility for 40/30 certification is based on eight consecutive calendar quarters of results of monitoring for compliance with R.61-58.13 beginning no earlier than January 2004.
- (b) If 40/30 certification is due April 1, 2007, then eligibility for 40/30 certification is based on eight consecutive calendar quarters of results of monitoring for compliance with R.61-58.13 beginning no earlier than January 2004.
- (c) If 40/30 certification is due October 1, 2007, then eligibility for 40/30 certification is based on eight consecutive calendar quarters of results of monitoring for compliance with R.61-58.13 beginning no earlier than January 2005.
- (d) If 40/30 certification is due April 1, 2008, then eligibility for 40/30 certification is based on eight consecutive calendar quarters of results of monitoring for compliance with R.61-58.13 beginning no earlier than January 2005.
- (e) If a system is on reduced monitoring under R.61-58.13 and was not required to monitor during the specified monitoring period, eligibility is based on compliance samples taken during the 12 months preceding the specified period.
Systems are eligible for 40/30 certification if they had no TTHM or HAA5 monitoring violations under R.61-58.13 and no individual sample exceeded 0.040 mg/L for TTHM or 0.030 mg/L for HAA5 during an eight consecutive calendar quarter period beginning no earlier than the date specified in this paragraph (1).
(2) 40/30 Certification
- (a) Systems applying for 40/30 certification must certify to the Department that every individual compliance sample taken under R.61-58.13 during the periods specified in paragraph (1) of this section were less than or equal to 0.040 mg/L for TTHM and less than or equal to 0.030 mg/L for HAA5, and that no TTHM or HAA5 monitoring violations were incurred during the period specified in paragraph (1) of this section.
- (b) The Department may require that systems applying for 40/30 certification submit compliance monitoring results, distribution system schematics, and/or recommended R.61-58.15 compliance monitoring locations in addition to their certification. If the system fails to submit the requested information, the Department may require standard monitoring under R.61-58.14.C or a system specific study under R.61-58.14.D
- (c) The Department may still require standard monitoring under R.61-58.14.C or a system specific study under R.61-58.14.D even if a system meets the criteria in paragraph (1) of this section.
- (d) Systems must retain a complete copy of the 40/30 certification submitted under this section for 10 years after the date that the certification is submitted. Systems must make the certification, all data upon which the certification is based, and any Department notification available for review by the Department or the public.
F. Very Small System Waivers
- (1) If a system serves fewer than 500 people and has taken TTHM and HAA5 samples under R.61-58.13, the system is not required to comply with this part R.61-58.14 unless the Department notifies the system that it must conduct standard monitoring under R.61-58.14.C or a system specific study under R.61-58.14.D.
- (2) If a system has not taken TTHM and HAA5 samples under R.61-58.13 or if the Department notifies the system that they must comply with the part R.61-58.14, the system must conduct standard monitoring under R.61-58.14.C or a system specific study under R.61-58.14.D.
G. Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule Compliance Monitoring Location Recommendations.
- (1) The IDSE report must include recommendations and justification for where and during what month(s) TTHM and HAA5 monitoring for compliance with requirements of R.61-58.15 should be conducted. Recommendations must be based on the criteria in paragraphs (2) through (5) of this section.
(2) Systems must select the number of monitoring locations specified in the table in this paragraph (2). These recommended locations will be used as R.61-58.15 (Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Requirements) routine compliance monitoring locations, unless the Department requires different or additional locations. Monitoring locations should be distributed throughout the distribution system to the extent possible.
- (a) All systems must monitor during the month of highest disinfection byproduct (DBP) concentrations.
- (b) Systems on quarterly monitoring must take dual sample sets every 90 days at each monitoring location, except for subpart H systems serving 500-3,300. Systems on annual monitoring and subpart H systems serving 500-3,300 are required to take individual TTHM and HAA5 samples (instead of a dual sample set) at the locations with the highest TTHM and HAA5 concentrations, respectively. Only one location with a dual sample set per monitoring period is needed if highest TTHM and HAA5 concentrations occur at the same location, and month, if monitored annually.

(3) Systems must recommend R.61-58.15 compliance monitoring locations based on standard monitoring results, system specific study results, and R.61-58.13 compliance monitoring results. Systems must follow the protocol in paragraphs (3)(a) through (3)(h) of this section. If required to monitor at more than eight locations, a system must repeat the protocol as necessary. If a system does not have existing R.61-58.13 compliance monitoring results or if they do not have enough existing R.61-58.13 compliance monitoring results, they must repeat the protocol, skipping the provisions of paragraphs (3)(c) and (3)(g) of this section as necessary, until the required total number of monitoring locations have been identified.
- (a) Location with the highest TTHM LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (b) Location with the highest HAA5 LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (c) Existing R.61-58.13 average residence time compliance monitoring location (maximum residence time compliance monitoring location for ground water systems) with the highest HAA5 LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (d) Location with the highest TTHM LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (e) Location with the highest TTHM LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (f) Location with the highest HAA5 LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (g) Existing R.61-58.13 average residence time compliance monitoring location (maximum residence time compliance monitoring location for ground water systems) with the highest TTHM LRAA not previously selected as a R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (h) Location with the highest HAA5 LRAA not previously selected as an R.61-58.15 monitoring location.
- (4) A system may recommend locations other than those specified in paragraph (3) of this section if they include a rationale for selecting other locations. If the Department approves the alternate locations, the system must monitor at these locations to determine compliance under R.61-58.15.
- (5) The recommended schedule must include R.61-58.15 monitoring during the peak historical month for TTHM and HAA5 concentration, unless the Department approves another month. Once the peak historical month has been identified, and if the system is required to conduct routine monitoring at least quarterly, the system must schedule R.61-58.15 compliance monitoring at a regular frequency of every 90 days or fewer.
