(C) Model output showing preliminary 24 hour average residence time predictions throughout the distribution system.
(D) Timing and number of samples representative of the distribution system planned for at least one monitoring period of TTHM and HAA5 dual sample monitoring at a number of locations no less than would be required for the system under standard monitoring in Sec. 141.601 during the historical month of high TTHM.
