					 supervisors may set a different fee, shall designate the terms for fee payment,
					 and shall submit to the department a permit fee of $25 per application. More
					 than one proposed well for the same use on one contiguous piece of property of
					 less than ten acres may be listed on one application and only one fee need be
					 paid irrespective of the number of wells listed on the application form.

				  this rule are based upon the source water type and the population served.
				  Systems are required to comply with this rule as follows, unless otherwise
				  noted. The department may assign an earlier monitoring period as part of the
				  operation permit, but compliance with the maximum contaminant level is not
				  required until the dates stated below.
1. CWS
				  and NTNC systems which use surface water or groundwater under the direct

(1)
Special monitoring for sodium.
Suppliers of water for
				  community public water systems shall collect and have analyzed one sample per
				  source or plant, for the purpose of determining the sodium concentration in the
				  distribution system. Systems utilizing multiple wells that draw raw water from
				  a single aquifer may, with departmental approval, be considered as one source
				  for determining the minimum number of samples to be collected. Sampling
				  frequency and approved analytical methods are as follows:
a.
Surface water systems.
Systems utilizing a surface water source, in whole or in part, shall monitor
				  for sodium at least once annually at the entry point to the distribution
				  system.
b.
Groundwater
				  systems.
Systems utilizing groundwater sources shall monitor at least
				  once every three years at the entry point to the distribution system.
c.
Increased monitoring.
Suppliers may be required to monitor more frequently where sodium levels are
				  variable or if certain types of treatment are used, such as cation exchange
				  softening.
d.
Analytical
				  methodology.
Analyses for sodium shall be performed in accordance with
				  41.3(1)
"e"
(1).
e.
Reporting.
The sodium
				  level shall be reported to the public by at least one of the following methods:
(1) The community public water supply shall
				  notify the appropriate local public health officials of the sodium levels by
				  written notice by direct mail within three months of receipt of the analytical
				  results. A copy of each notice required by this subrule shall be sent to the
				  department within ten days of its issuance.
(2) In lieu of the reporting requirement of
				  41.11(1)
"e"
(1), the community public water supply shall
				  include the sodium level in its annual consumer confidence report, pursuant to
				  567-paragraph 42.3(3)
"c"
(1)"12."
f.
CWSs using cation exchange
				  treatment.
Community water systems which utilize cation exchange
				  treatment are required to collect one sodium sample of the finished water per
				  year after all treatment. Analysis and reporting must be done in accordance
				  with 41.11(1)

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
If the department determines that other contaminants are
					 present in a public water supply, and the contaminants are known to pose, or
					 scientific evidence strongly suggests that they pose, a threat to human health,
					 the supplier of water may be required to monitor for such contaminants. The
					 supplier of water will monitor at a frequency and in a manner which will
					 adequately identify the magnitude and extent of the contamination. The
					 monitoring frequency and sampling location will be determined by the
					 department. All analytical results will be obtained using approved EPA methods
					 and all analytical results will be submitted to the department for review and
					 evaluation. Any monitoring required under this paragraph will be incorporated
					 into an operation permit or an order.
