				335-7-6-.15. If no source water
				assessment has been completed, the CCR shall notify customers of the status of
				efforts to complete it. All systems utilizing a groundwater source shall
				indicate whether it has established a Wellhead Protection Plan.
(2) Each CCR shall include the following
				definitions:
(a) Maximum Contaminant Level
				Goal or MCLG - The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there
				is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of
				safety.
(b) Maximum Contaminant
				Level or MCL - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking
				water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available
				treatment technology.
(c) Maximum
				Residual Disinfectant Level Goal or MRDLG - The level of a drinking water
				disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs
				do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial
				contaminants.
(d) Maximum Residual
				Disinfectant Level or MRDL - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in
				drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is
				necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

				shall be used. The delineation may utilize natural or man made structures to
				define the SWAA as long as these structures are located in close proximity to
				the calculated or mapped SWAA boundary.
(b) A geologist licensed in Alabama shall
				perform all SWAA area delineations, other than the fixed radius
				method.
(c) To identify aquifer
				flow characteristics, a potentiometric map shall be constructed using local
				water level measurements and show gradient and flow direction.
(d) The degree of confinement shall be
				determined by geologic or hydrologic approaches and using the documents listed
				in 335-7-15-.04. Geologic, graphical
				and drilling logs, geologic descriptions of local stratigraphy, and
				cross-sections derived from local stratigraphy shall be included and used to
				determine confinement.
(e)
				Geologic, geophysical, graphical and drilling logs, geologic descriptions of
				local stratigraphy, physiographic description, description of the hydrogeology
				and cross-sections derived from local stratigraphy shall be included in the
				report.
(f) Construction of the
				SWAA shall be according to Table 1. All data and calculations used to determine
				the SWAA shall be included in the report. One of the following methods should
				be used.
1. Fixed radius (400 feet or 1000
				feet radius).
2. Analytical methods
				or numerical modeling for Time of Travel (TOT) with hydrogeological mapping of
				flow boundaries.
3. Conduit flow.
				SWAA for wells in karst or conduit flow aquifers should be established using
				hydrogeological mapping of flow boundaries and karst features such as sinkholes
				and sinking stream, lineament analyses and dye tracer tests.
4. Special Conditions.
(i) Confined aquifers.
(ii) The SWAA I for public water supply wells
				in coastal plain confined aquifers, with the top of the first screened interval
				at 600 feet below ground surface or greater, may be established by a 400 foot
				fixed radius. A SWAA II is not required.
(iii) A waiver from the full TOT SWAA
				delineation requirement may be requested of the Department by systems that have
				wells with the first screened interval less than 600 feet below ground surface.
				If the aquifer is under confined conditions waivers may be considered based on
				site-specific considerations such as degree of confinement.
