(B) Systems must maintain the results of individual filter monitoring taken under 10 CSR 60-4.050(2)(D) for at least three (3) years. Systems must report that they have conducted individual filter turbidity monitoring under 10 CSR 60-4.050(2)(D) within ten (10) days after the end of each month the system serves water to the public. Systems must report the individual filter turbidity measurement results within ten (10) days after the end of each month the system serves water to the public only if measurements demonstrate one (1) or more of the conditions in paragraphs (6)(B)1.-2. of this rule. Systems that use lime softening may apply to the department for alternative exceedance levels for the levels specified in this subsection (6)(B) if they can demonstrate that higher turbidity levels in individual filters are due to lime carryover only and not due to degraded filter performance.

1. Surface water systems that serve more than ten thousand (10,000) people must report the individual filter turbidity measurement results within ten (10) days after the end of each month only if measurements demonstrate one (1) or more of the following conditions:

A. For any individual filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than one and zero tenths (1.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive measurements taken fifteen (15) minutes apart, the system must report the filter number, the turbidity measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the system must either produce a filter profile for the filter within seven (7) days of the exceedance (if the system is not able to identify an obvious reason for the abnormal filter performance) and report that the profile has been produced or report the obvious reason for the exceedance;

B. For any individual filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than five tenths (0.5) NTU in two (2) consecutive measurements taken fifteen (15) minutes apart at the end of the first four (4) hours of continuous filter operation after the filter has been back-washed or otherwise taken offline, the system must report the filter number, the turbidity, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the system must either produce a filter profile for the filter within seven (7) days of the exceedance (if the system is not able to identify an obvious reason for the abnormal filter performance) and report that the profile has been produced or report the obvious reason for the exceedance;

C. For any individual filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than one and zero tenths (1.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive measurements taken fifteen (15) minutes apart at any time in each of three (3) consecutive months, the system must report the filter number, the turbidity measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the system must conduct a self-assessment of the filter within fourteen (14) days of the exceedance and report that the self-assessment was conducted. The self-assessment must consist of at least the following components: assessment of filter performance; development of a filter profile; identification and prioritization of factors limiting filter performance; assessment of the applicability of corrections; and preparation of a filter self-assessment report; and

D. For any individual filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than two and zero tenths (2.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive measurements taken fifteen (15) minutes apart at any time in each of two (2) consecutive months, the system must report the filter number, the turbidity measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the system must arrange for the conduct of a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation by the department or a third party approved by the department no later than thirty (30) days following the exceedance and have the evaluation completed and submitted to the department no later than ninety (90) days following the exceedance.

(I) The Comprehensive Performance Evaluation is a thorough review and analysis of a treatment plant's performance-based capabilities and associated administrative, operation, and maintenance practices. It is conducted to identify factors that may be adversely impacting a plant's capability to achieve compliance and emphasizes approaches that can be implemented without significant capital improvements. The comprehensive performance evaluation must consist of at least the following components: assessment of plant performance; evaluation of major unit processes; identification and prioritization of performance limiting factors; assessment of the applicability of comprehensive technical assistance; and preparation of a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation report.

(II) If the Comprehensive Performance Evaluation results indicate improved performance potential, the system shall implement Comprehensive Technical Assistance. The system must identify and systematically address plant-specific factors. The Comprehensive Technical Assistance is a combination of utilizing Comprehensive Performance Evaluation results as a basis for followup, implementing process control priority-setting techniques, and maintaining long-term involvement to systematically train staff and administrators.

2. Surface water systems that serve less than ten thousand (10,000) people must report the individual filter turbidity measurements within ten (10) days after the end of each month only if measurements demonstrate one (1) or more of the following conditions.

A. For any individual filter that exceeds one and zero tenths (1.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive recordings fifteen (15) minutes apart, the system must report the filter number(s), corresponding date(s), turbidity value(s) which exceeded one and zero tenths (1.0) NTU, and the cause (if known) for the exceedance(s).

B. For any individual filter that for three (3) months in a row the turbidity exceeded one and zero tenths (1.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive recordings fifteen (15) minutes apart, the system must conduct a self-assessment of the filter(s) within fourteen (14) days of the triggering event. The system must report the date self-assessment was triggered and the date it was completed. The self-assessment must consist of at least the following components: assessment of filter performance; development of a filter profile; identification and prioritization of factors limiting filter performance; assessment of the applicability of corrections; and preparation of a filter self-assessment report. The filter self-assessment is not required if a comprehensive performance evaluation (CPE) was required.

C. For any individual filter that for two (2) months in a row the turbidity exceeded two and zero tenths (2.0) NTU in two (2) consecutive recordings, fifteen (15) minutes apart, the system must arrange to have a CPE conducted not later than sixty (60) days following the triggering event. The CPE must be conducted by the department or a third party approved by the department. If a CPE has been completed by the department or a third party approved by the department within the twelve (12) prior months or the system and department are jointly participating in an ongoing Comprehensive Technical Assistance (CTA) project at the system, a new CPE is not required. If conducted, a CPE must be completed and submitted to the department no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the triggering event.

(C) Additional turbidity reporting requirements. Reporting requirements for turbidity exceedences are in 10 CSR 60-4.050(2)(C).

(7) Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection By-Products (D/DBP) Rule Reporting and Record-Keeping Requirements.
