Ala. Admin. Code r. 335-7-11-.15
Any system which exceeds the lead or copper compliance limit must analyze the treated water for the contaminant using the same methodology and location as required for inorganic contaminants in each source used by the system. This analysis must be completed within 180 days after the date of the initial exceedance. During the analysis, if a level exceeds 0.015 mg/1 lead or 1 mg/1 copper, then the system must perform confirmation monitoring within seven days. The value of the initial and all confirmation monitoring will be averaged. Treatment modifications must be installed which will result in the finished water meeting the lead and copper action levels based on monitoring throughout the distribution system, as specified in rule 335-7-11-.03. Modifications to the treatment process must be approved and permitted by the Department in accordance with rule 335-7-4-.03. Unless the Department gives written approval of the modifications, the source must be taken out of service within sixty days of the Department determining that treatment modifications are required and remain out of service until the treatment modifications are installed. Prior to reactivation of the source, monitoring of the treated water shall demonstrate compliance with drinking water standards and a second set of lead and copper monitoring conducted within six months of returning to service. All initial sites for lead and copper shall be monitored for the next two six-month compliance periods.
