Section 12VAC5-590-570 - Operational reporting requirements

A. Monthly operational reports.

1. A classified waterworks is required to report monthly information to the department no later than the 10th of the month following the month during which the monitoring period occurred.

2. A classified waterworks using conventional filtration shall report using the monthly operating report (MOR) form approved by the department. All other classified waterworks shall report the required information specified in Tables 570.1 through 570.14, based on the treatment processes employed. Monitoring data shall be collected for each day the operating staff attend to the operation of the facilities.

3. To determine if a waterworks using UV reactor systems is operating within validated conditions designed in accordance with 12VAC5-590-1005, the following parameters shall be monitored and reported:

(i) on/off status for each reactor;

(ii) flow rate through reactor train;

(iii) UV intensity as measured by a UV sensor;

(iv) lamp status;

(v) lamp age; and

(vi) UV transmittance. The operational set points shall be reported if set point control is used. The calculated UV dose shall be reported if other than a set point control is used.

4. An unclassified waterworks is required to report quarterly the following information specified in Table 570.1, where applicable, to the department no later than the 10th of the month following the calendar quarter during which the monitoring period occurred.

5. An unclassified waterworks that is using any of the treatment processes described in Tables 570.2 through 570.14 is required to report no later than the 10th of the month following the calendar month during which the monitoring occurred. The report shall contain the required information specified in Tables 570.1 through 570.14 based on the treatment processes employed. The monitoring data shall be collected at a minimum frequency as established by the department.

6. The department may vary the reporting requirements on a case-by-case basis.
