17 Laboratory Reporting Formats Analytical results for samples taken pursuant to Chapter , Florida Administrative Code, shall be reported by the laboratory in a format which includes all of the required information described in the documents provided below. Laboratories may use computer generated versions of the formats provided such versions are identical in every respect other than print size, type, and spacing. If laboratory analysis reports are submitted without all of the required information, as set forth below, the submittal will be rejected. (Reference Rule , Florida Administrative Code)

18 New Laboratory Reporting Formats. The bacti and chern reporting formats have been updated. We have provided copies of the new formats with this letter, and the formats are also posted on our website at water/drinkingwater/forms.htm. Please recall that using the correct reporting format is critical to ensure proper data reporting to the State and the EPA. Changing column headings, changing the order of columns, or adding chemicals within the rows of the formats is not acceptable. These new formats take effect immediately, but we are allowing a transition period until 06/01/2010 for phasing out the old reporting formats.

19 Reporting Analysis Method on the Microbial Reporting Format. In order to properly complete the new bacti format, include the analysis methodology along with the method citation (e.g. "Colilert, SM9223B"). This will allow us to confirm compliance with the new Ground Water Rule. Federal Ground Water Rule is in Effect. The federal GWR became effective on 12/01/2009. We expect to adopt the GWR on the state level later this year. Under the federal GWR some fecal indicator methods which can be used under the Total Coliform Rule are not allowed. If your laboratory is not certified to test for a fecal indicator with one of the approved methods, you may contact Steve Arms at (904) or steve arms@doh.state.fl.us for instructions.

35 Primary Purpose of GWR Viruses Require Ground Water Source Microbial Monitoring Protect Public Health Identify GWSs at Risk of Fecal Contamination Require Corrective Action (if necessary) Bacteria Require Sanitary Surveys & Identification of Significant Deficiencies

36 Key Provisions of GWR Sanitary Surveys of all GWSs Ground Water Source Microbial Monitoring TT Requirement: Corrective Action for Significant Deficiencies & Fecal Contamination TT Requirement: Compliance Monitoring

37 GWR Compliance Tracks

38 To Whom Does GWR Apply (i.e., which PWSs are considered GWSs)? PWSs that Use Only Ground Water Sources Consecutive PWSs that receive finished ground water or that use their own ground water source(s) PWSs that Use Both Surface & Ground Water Sources* * Except systems that combine all of their ground water with surface water prior to treatment of surface water under SWTRs

39 GWR Compliance Dates GWS Requirement Notify DEP, & obtain DEP approval, of 4-log virus treatment if GWS chooses to provide 4-log virus treatment in lieu of conducting triggered or assessment source water monitoring GWS Requirement Conduct triggered source water monitoring if GWS does not provide DEP-approved 4-log virus treatment Continue to conduct assessment source water monitoring if GWS does not provide DEP-approved 4-log virus treatment Implement corrective action for significant deficiencies or for source water fecal contamination Conduct compliance monitoring if GWS provides DEPapproved 4-log virus treatment as corrective action or in lieu of conducting triggered or assessment source water monitoring DEP Requirement Complete initial round of 8-component sanitary surveys for community GWSs Complete initial round of 8-component sanitary surveys for non-community GWSs Required by: 12/1/2009 (or after 12/1/2009 but before GWS may discontinue triggered or assessment source water monitoring) Required Beginning: 12/1/ /1/2009 (or after 12/1/2009 but before GWS may discontinue triggered or assessment source water monitoring) Required By: 12/31/ /31/2014

40 Implementation Timeline GWSs Notify DEP, & obtain DEP approval, of 4-log virus treatment Conduct triggered source water monitoring Continue to conduct assessment source water monitoring Implement corrective action Conduct compliance monitoring 12/1/ /31/ /31/2014 DEP Complete initial round of 8- component sanitary surveys for community GWSs Complete initial round of 8- component sanitary surveys for noncommunity GWSs

41 Relationship Between GWR & TCR GWR & TCR work together Samples from distribution system may indicate problem at source TC+ routine distribution sample taken under TCR triggers source water monitoring under GWR More information about TCR can be found at

42 Understanding "4-Log Virus Treatment Log removal/inactivation of viruses relates to % removal/inactivation of viruses (cont'd) Removal/inactivation of 90% of what is left after 2-log removal/ inactivation = another 1-log removal/inactivation, or total of 3-log removal/inactivation 99% + (1%)(90%) = 99.9% Removal/inactivation of 90% of what is left after 3-log removal/ inactivation = another 1-log removal/inactivation, or total of 4-log removal/inactivation Log 99.9% Removal/Inactivation + (0.1%)(90%) = 99.99% % Removal/Inactivation 1-log 90% 2-log 99% 3-log 99.9% 4-log 99.99%

43 Sanitary Surveys Sanitary survey Is conducted by DEP Consists of onsite review of water source, facilities, equipment, operation, & maintenance of PWS to evaluate their adequacy for producing & distributing safe drinking water DEP must conduct sanitary surveys of all GWSs Community GWSs Non-community GWSs Consecutive GWSs GWSs must provide DEP with any existing information that is requested by DEP & that will enable DEP to conduct sanitary survey

44 Per GWR, sanitary surveys must include evaluation of following 8 components as applicable (1) Source (2) Treatment (3) Distribution System (4) Finished Water Storage (5) Pumps, Pump Facilities, & Controls (6) Monitoring, Reporting, & Data Verification (7) GWS Management & Operation (8) Operator Compliance with DEP Requirements

45 Sanitary Surveys (cont'd) Sanitary survey frequencies & compliance dates: GWS Type Minimum Frequency of 8-Component Sanitary Surveys Compliance Date for Completing Initial Round of 8-Component Sanitary Surveys Community GWSs Every 3 years 12/31/2012 Non-community GWSs Every 5 years 12/31/2014 DEP may, but will not, reduce sanitary survey frequency to once every 5 years for community GWSs that meet 1 of following conditions: GWS provides DEP-approved 4-log virus treatment for all its ground water sources GWS has outstanding performance record, as determined by DEP & documented in previous sanitary surveys, & has no history of TCR MCL or monitoring violations since last sanitary survey

46 Significant Deficiencies Significant deficiency Includes any design, operation, or maintenance defect, or any source, treatment, storage, or distribution facility failure or malfunction, that DEP determines is causing, or has potential to cause, contamination of water delivered to customers Is typically identified by DEP during sanitary survey but can be identified by DEP at any time DEP must define & describe at least 1 specific significant deficiency in each of 8 sanitary survey components DEP will define & describe specific, significant deficiencies when DEP incorporates GWR into FAC in 2010.

47 Ground Water Source Microbial Monitoring Ground water source microbial monitoring is used to determine if fecal contamination is present in ground water sources/wells 2 types of ground water source microbial monitoring: Triggered Source Water Monitoring Assessment Source Water Monitoring

48 Triggered Source Water Monitoring GWS must conduct triggered source water monitoring if GWS is not providing DEPapproved 4-log virus treatment for each ground water source & GWS is notified that routine distribution sample collected under TCR (FAC Rule ) is TC+

49 Triggered Sampling Requirements GWSs must Collect at least 1 source water sample per TC+ routine distribution sample from each ground water source/well in use at time TC+ routine distribution sample was collected Collect ground water source sample(s) within 24 hours of learning of TC+ routine distribution sample GWSs must analyze triggered samples for 1 of 3 fecal indicators as discussed on later slides. If triggered sample is FI+, GWS must issue Tier 1 public notice & collect 5 additional triggered samples as discussed on later slides.

50 Representative Triggered Sampling (cont'd) Sampling 1 location that is representative of multiple sources/ wells Offers cost savings but also provides less information if sample is FI+ If sample is FI+, which 1 or more wells might be, or are, fecally contaminated? Samples are representative of only those sources/wells that are being pumped at time sample is collected

51 Triggered Source Water Monitoring Plan Representative triggered sampling must be approved by DEP DEP may, & will, require that GWSs choosing to conduct representative triggered sampling first submit, & obtain DEP approval of, triggered source water monitoring plan Triggered source water monitoring plans should be prepared, reviewed, & approved in accordance with EPA's GWR Triggered & Representative Source Water Monitoring Guidance Manual Manual contains Triggered source water monitoring plan template Example triggered source water monitoring plans

52 Triggered Source Water Monitoring Plan (cont'd) Triggered source water monitoring plans should include: Map or schematic of GWS showing sources & TCR sampling sites Source type (ground water, surface water, emergency, seasonal, etc.) & level of treatment for each source Source/well sampling locations representing multiple sources/ wells Sources representing each TCR sampling site & basis for determination, such as Distribution system map TCR sampling plan Operation records Hydraulic model Tracer study Customer complaint records Water quality data

53 Transient Non-Community GWSs Serving < 1,000 People If transient non-community GWS serving < 1,000 people has TC+ routine distribution sample under TCR (FAC Rule ), GWS must collect set of 4 repeat distribution samples under TCR E coli Transient non-community GWS serving < 1,000 people may use sample collected from ground water source/well to serve as both of following: 1 of 4 repeat distribution samples required under TCR Triggered source water sample required under GWR But, to meet both TCR & GWR, sample must be analyzed for E coli using analytical method approved under GWR GWR analytical methods are discussed on later slides.

54 Additional Triggered Sampling Requirements DEP may, but will not, require corrective action if initial triggered sample is FI+ Instead, if initial triggered sample is FI+, GWS must collect 5 additional triggered samples from same source/well #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 GWS must collect 5 additional samples within 24 hours of being notified of FI+ initial triggered sample GWS must analyze additional triggered samples for 1 of 3 fecal indicators as discussed on later slides. If 1 or more of 5 additional triggered samples is FI+, GWS must issue Tier 1 public notice & implement corrective action as discussed on later slides.

55 Consecutive & Wholesale GWSs Consecutive GWSs must Notify wholesale GWSs of any TC+ routine distribution sample collected under TCR (FAC Rule ) unless wholesale GWSs provide DEP-approved 4-log virus treatment for all their ground water sources/wells Notification to wholesale GWSs must be made within 24 hours after consecutive GWS receives notification of TC+ sample Wholesale GWSs must Within 24 hours after receiving notification from consecutive GWS of TC+ routine distribution sample, collect triggered sample from those ground water sources/wells for which wholesale GWS does not provide DEP-approved 4-log virus treatment For any FI+ triggered sample, notify all consecutive GWSs served by that ground water source/well Notification to consecutive GWSs must be made within 24 hours after wholesale GWS receives notification of FI + sample

56 Analytical Methods for Triggered Samples Triggered samples must be at least 100 ml in volume GWSs are encouraged, but not required, to hold samples below 10 C during transit GWSs must analyze all triggered samples for 1 of 3 following fecal indicators: E coli Enterococci Coliphage Time from sample collection to initiation of analysis may not exceed 30 hours GWSs may analyze additional triggered samples for different fecal indicator than used for initial triggered sample

57 Analytical Methods for Triggered Samples (cont'd) Most GWSs probably will analyze for E coli because of familiarity & cost Costs about $20/analysis Enterococci Costs about $30/analysis Coliphage Coliphage Might be better fecal indicator than E coli or enterococci because Coliphage more closely resembles viruses in size & shape &, thus, might be transported through aquifer similar to viruses It is unlikely that coliphage can grow in environment, whereas E coli & enterococci might grow in subtropical environment such as FL &, thus, E coli & enterococci might not always be indicative of fecal contamination Might cost about $ /analysis when analyzing for both male-specific & somatic coliphage

58 Analytical Methods for Triggered Samples (cont'd) GWSs must analyze triggered samples using methods below: Fecal Indicator Methodology Method Citation Some E coli Colilert. analytical methods approved under TCR Standard Method 9223 B Chromocult,. Colitag, & Readycult/Fluorocult are not Standard approved Method 9223 B under GWR Colilert-18. Standard Method 9223 B - DOH labs currently use Readycult for analysis of TCR EPA samples! Method 1604 Colisure. E coli Membrane Filter Method with MI Standard Method 9221 F Agar Standard Method 9222 m-coliblue24 Test G E*Colite Test EC-MUG.. NA-MUG. Enterococci Coliphage Multiple-Tube Technique.. Membrane Filter Technique... Membrane Filter Technique... Enterolert 2-Step Enrichment Presence-Absence Procedure.. Single Agar Layer Procedure. Standard Method 9230 B Standard Method 9230 C EPA Method 1600 EPA Method 1601 EPA Method 1602

59 Source Water Sampling Location Triggered or assessment source water samples & well survey samples must be collected at location prior to any treatment DEP may, but will not, approve ground water source/well sampling location after treatment

60 Corrective Action GWSs must implement corrective action when either of following occur: Significant deficiency is identified by DEP EC+ Additional triggered source water sample is FI+ Also, DEP may, & will, require that GWSs implement corrective action when additional assessment source water sample is FI+ DEP may, but will not, require that GWSs implement corrective action when initial triggered source water sample or initial assessment source water sample is FI+

61 FI+ Source Water Samples for Which Corrective Action Is Required FI+ Additional Triggered Source Water Sample or FI+ Additional Assessment Source Water Sample

62 Corrective Action Alternatives GWSs that must implement corrective action must implement 1 or more of following 4 corrective action alternatives: Correct all significant deficiencies Provide alternate source of water Eliminate source of contamination Provide at least 4-log virus treatment before or at first customer for ground water source(s), or if applicable, provide at least 4-log virus treatment after water is last exposed to open atmosphere & before or at first customer

63 Required Notices to Public 3 types of notices to public PN (Tier 1, 2, or 3 public notices) Community GWSs Non-community GWSs CCR Community GWSs GWR special notices Community GWSs (included in CCR) Non-community GWSs

64 PN Requirements Tier 1 public notice Required for FI+ initial or additional triggered or assessment source water sample FI+ future assessment finished water sample Must be provided no later than 24 hours after GWS learns of FI+ sample Must be provided via radio & TV or By hand delivery & by posting in conspicuous places (community or non-transient non-community GWS) By hand delivery or by posting in conspicuous places (transient non-community GWS)
