Code of Federal Regulations (alpha)

CFR /  Title 40  /  Part 141  /  Sec. 141.623 Reduced monitoring.

(a) You may reduce monitoring to the level specified in the table in this paragraph (a) any time the LRAA is <=0.040 mg/L for TTHM and <=0.030 mg/L for HAA5 at all monitoring locations. You may only use data collected under the provisions of this subpart or subpart L of this part to qualify for reduced monitoring. In addition, the source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, must be <=4.0 mg/L at each treatment plant treating surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water, based on monitoring conducted under either Sec. 141.132(b)(1)(iii) or Sec. 141.132(d). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) You may remain on reduced monitoring as long as the TTHM LRAA <=0.040 mg/L and the HAA5 LRAA <=0.030 mg/L at each monitoring location (for systems with quarterly reduced monitoring) or each TTHM sample <=0.060 mg/L and each HAA5 sample <=0.045 mg/L (for systems with annual or less frequent monitoring). In addition, the source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, must be <=4.0 mg/L at each treatment plant treating surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water, based on monitoring conducted under either Sec. 141.132(b)(1)(iii) or Sec. 141.132(d).

(c) If the LRAA based on quarterly monitoring at any monitoring location exceeds either 0.040 mg/L for TTHM or 0.030 mg/L for HAA5 or if the annual (or less frequent) sample at any location exceeds either 0.060 mg/L for TTHM or 0.045 mg/L for HAA5, or if the source water annual average TOC level, before any treatment, 4.0 mg/L at any treatment plant treating surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water, you must resume routine monitoring under Sec. 141.621 or begin increased monitoring if Sec. 141.625 applies.

(d) The State may return your system to routine monitoring at the State's discretion.
