			 application shall be deemed to be complete. A completeness determination is not
			 required for modifications processed through minor permit modification
			 procedures contained in rule

			 of an application before or after it has been determined or deemed to be
			 complete, the director determines that additional information is necessary in

			 faith and timely response to a request for additional information under this
			 rule with regard to an application that the director believes to be incomplete,
			 the director shall offer to meet with the applicant within seven days after
			 issuance of a letter for failure to submit the requested information. If the
			 meeting or meeting offer fails to obtain a complete application from the
			 applicant, the director, without prior hearing, shall make a final
			 determination that the application is not complete. Any such determination
			 shall not become effective until twenty days after notice of the determination
			 is sent to the applicant by certified mail. An incompleteness determination by
			 the director may be appealed in accordance with section
			 3745.04 and division (D) of

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-81 - Primary Drinking Water Rules › Section 3745-81-15 - Maximum contaminant levels and best available technologies for radionuclide contaminants

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Combined radium-226 and radium-228: the
			 maximum contaminant level (MCL) for combined radium-226 and radium-228 is five
			 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The combined radium-226 and radium-228 value is
			 determined by the addition of the results of the analysis for radium-226 and
			 the analysis for radium-228.
(B)
			 Gross alpha particle activity: the MCL for gross alpha particle activity
			 (including radium-226 but excluding radon and uranium) is fifteen pCi/L. The
			 gross alpha particle activity value may be adjusted by subtracting the result
			 of the analysis for uranium. If the result for uranium is reported as a mass
			 measurement in micrograms per liter (µg/L), the activity value in pCi/L shall
			 be obtained by multiplying the result with a conversion factor of 0.67
			 pCi/µg.
(C) Beta particle and
			 photon radioactivity:
(1) The MCL for beta
			 particle and photon radioactivity from man-made radionuclides is an annual dose
			 equivalent of four millirem/year (mrem/yr) to the total body or any internal
			 organ. The annual dose equivalent is determined by converting the running
			 annual average concentration for the radionuclide from pCi/L to mrem/yr
			 (running annual average concentration divided by the dose equivalent for the
			 radionuclide). If two or more radionuclides are present, the sum of their
			 annual dose equivalent to the total body or to any organ shall not exceed four
			 mrem/yr.
(2) The annual dose
			 equivalent for radionuclides may be determined using the conversion table
			 below. For radionuclides not listed, the concentration causing four mrem/yr
			 total body or organ dose equivalents may be obtained from appendix I of the
			 "Implementation Guidance for Radionuclides" dated March 2002 and designated EPA
			 816-F-00-002.

			 Treatment techniques for acrylamide and epichlorohydrin. Each public water
			 system utilizing polymers containing acrylamide or epichlorohydrin shall
			 certify annually in writing to the director  that when polymers
			 containing acrylamide or epichlorohydrin are used in the drinking water system,
			 the combination (or product) of dose and monomer level does not exceed either
			 of the levels specified as follows:
Acrylamide monomer level of 0.05 per cent in polymers added to
				water at 1 part per million (or equivalent).
Epichlorohydrin monomer level of 0.01 per cent in polymers
				added to water at 20 parts per million (or equivalent).
Certifications can rely on manufacturers or third

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
All public water systems shall monitor as described in
				paragraphs (B) and (C) of this rule to determine compliance with the maximum
				contaminant levels (MCLs) for nitrate and nitrite. In addition, all community
				water systems and all nontransient noncommunity water systems shall monitor as
				described in paragraphs (D) and (E) of this rule for the inorganic contaminants
				with MCLs listed in paragraph (B) of rule
				3745-81-11
				of the Administrative Code. Public water systems shall monitor inorganic
				chemicals according to a schedule provided by the director.
(A) Monitoring for inorganic chemicals with
			 MCLs shall be conducted as follows:
(1) Groundwater
			 systems and surface water systems shall monitor with a minimum of one sample at
			 each sampling point. After the initial set of samples, the system shall take
			 each repeat sample at the same sampling point as used before unless conditions
			 make another sampling point more representative of a source or treatment
			 plant.
(2) If a public water system
			 draws water from more than one source and the sources are combined before
			 distribution, the system shall monitor at each sampling point during periods of
			 normal operating conditions and shall keep a record of and report the sources
			 providing water for each sample. When a sample does not contain water from all
			 the sources which serve the sampling point, a schedule prepared by the public
			 water system shall be followed so that the next monitoring sample at this
			 sampling point for the same inorganic chemicals
			 will include water from sources not included in the previous sample or samples.
			 Thus, successive samples from the same sampling point for the same inorganic
			 chemicals shall sample water supplied from different
			 sources until all of the sources supplying that sampling point have been
			 monitored. Note that when inorganic chemicals have different monitoring
			 periods, the
			 chemicals require separate monitoring schedules.

			 following the month in which the result is received for that test, measurement,
			 or analysis or within the first ten days following the end of the required
			 monitoring period as specified by the director, whichever occurs
			 first.
(B) The director may
			 invalidate sample results that do not contain complete and accurate sample
			 location information, as well as results of obvious sampling or analytical
			 error.
(C) The public water system
			 shall report to the director within forty-eight hours the failure to comply
			 with any requirement of state primary drinking water rules, unless otherwise
			 stated in this chapter.
