The requirements of sections 5-1.40 through
						5-1.48 
						of this Subpart shall apply to all community water systems and nontransient,
						noncommunity water systems serving 15 or more service connections or serving 25
						or more persons.
(b)
Lead and copper action levels.
(1)
Analyte
Action Level1,2
Lead
0.015 mg/L
Copper
1.3 mg/L
(2) The lead action level is exceeded if the
					 concentration of lead in more than 10 percent (90th percentile) of the tap
					 water samples collected in accordance with section
					 5-1.42 
					 of this Subpart during any monitoring period exceeds 0.015 mg/L.
(3) The copper action level is exceeded if
					 the concentration of copper in more than 10 percent (90th percentile) of the
					 tap water samples collected in accordance with section
					 5-1.42 
					 of this Subpart during any monitoring period exceeds 1.3 mg/L.
(4) The 90th percentile lead and copper
					 levels shall be computed as follows:
(i)
					 Place the results of all lead and copper samples taken during a monitoring
					 period in ascending order from the sample with the lowest concentration to the
					 sample with the highest concentration. Each sampling result will be assigned a
					 number, ascending by single integers beginning with the number one for the
					 sample with the lowest contaminant level. The number assigned to the sample
					 with the highest contaminant level will be equal to the total number of samples
					 taken.
(ii) Multiply the number of
					 samples taken during the monitoring period by 0.9.
(iii) The contaminant concentration of the
					 numbered sample obtained by the calculation in subparagraph (ii) of this
					 paragraph is the 90th percentile contaminant level.
(iv) For water systems serving fewer than 100
					 people that collect 5 samples per monitoring period, the 90th percentile is
					 computed by taking the average of the highest and second highest
					 concentration.
(v) For a public
					 water system that has been allowed by the State to collect fewer than five
					 samples under section
					 5-1.42(a)(3) 
					 of this Subpart, the sample result with the highest concentration is considered
					 the 90th percentile value.

						exceed the lead or copper action level shall monitor water quality parameters
						in addition to lead and copper in tap water in accordance with this
						section.
(a)
Sample
					 requirements.
(1) Sample collection
					 method.
(i) Distribution system (tap) samples
					 shall be representative of water quality throughout the distribution system,
					 taking into account the number of persons served, the different sources of
					 water, the different treatment methods employed by the system, and seasonal
					 variability. Distribution system sampling under this section is not required to
					 be conducted at taps targeted for lead and copper sampling under section
					 5-1.42(a) 
					 of this Subpart.
(ii) Entry point
					 samples to the distribution system shall be from locations representative of
					 each source after treatment. If a system draws water from more than one source
					 and the sources are combined before distribution, the system shall sample at
					 entry point(s) representative of normal operating conditions.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Chapter I - State Sanitary Code › Part 5 - Drinking Water Supplies › Subpart 5-1 - Public Water Systems › Control of Copper and Lead in Drinking Water › Section 5-1.44 - Monitoring requirements for lead and copper in source water

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
A water system that exceeds the lead or copper action
						level based on first draw tap water samples collected in accordance with
						section
						5-1.42 
						of this Subpart shall collect lead and copper source water samples in
						accordance with the following requirements:
(a)
Sample requirements.
(1) Water systems shall take a minimum of one
					 sample at every entry point to the distribution system which is representative
					 of each source after treatment. The system shall collect each sample at the
					 same sampling point unless conditions make another sampling point more
					 representative of each source or treatment plant. If a system draws water from
					 more than one source and the sources are combined before distribution, the
					 system shall sample at entry point(s) to be representative of normal operating
					 conditions, when water is representative of all sources being used.
(2) The State may reduce the total number of
					 samples which shall be analyzed by allowing the use of compositing. Compositing
					 of samples shall be done by certified laboratory personnel. Composite samples
					 from a maximum of five samples are allowed, provided that the method detection
					 limit (MDL) for lead of 0.001 mg/L is achieved. If the lead concentration in
					 the composite sample is greater than or equal to 0.001 mg/L, or the copper
					 concentration is greater than or equal to 0.160 mg/L, then either:
(i) a follow-up sample shall be taken and
					 analyzed within 14 days at each sampling point included in the composite;
					 or
(ii) if duplicates of or
					 sufficient quantities from the original samples from each sampling point used
					 in the composite are available, the system may use these instead of
					 resampling.
(3) Where
					 the results of sampling indicate an exceedance of State-specified maximum
					 permissible source water levels established under section
					 5-1.45(a)(4) 
					 of this Subpart, the State may require that one follow-up sample be collected
					 as soon as possible after the initial sample was taken (but not to exceed two
					 weeks) at the same sampling point. If a State-required follow-up sample is
					 taken for lead or copper, then the results of the initial and follow-up samples
					 shall be averaged to determine compliance with the State-specified maximum
					 permissible levels. Any sample value below the detection limit shall be
					 considered to be zero. Any value above the detection limit but below the
					 practical quantitation limit (PQL) shall either be considered as the measured
					 value or be considered one-half the PQL.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
A water system that exceeds the lead or copper action
						level based on first draw tap water samples collected in accordance with
						section
						5-1.42 
						of this Subpart shall complete the applicable source water monitoring and
						treatment requirements and operate appropriate treatment to maintain lead and
						copper below levels specified by the State in accordance with the following
						requirements.
(a)
Source water
					 treatment requirements.
(1) A water
					 system exceeding the lead or copper action level shall complete required lead
					 and copper source water monitoring in accordance with section
					 5-1.44(b)(1) 
					 of this Subpart and make an appropriate treatment recommendation to the State
					 no later than 180 days after the end of the monitoring period during which the
					 system exceeds the lead or copper action level. A system may recommend that no
					 treatment be installed based upon a demonstration that source water treatment
					 is not necessary to minimize lead and copper levels at users' taps.
(2) Based on an evaluation of the results of
					 all required source water sampling, the State shall make a determination if
					 source water treatment is necessary and may require:
(i) source water treatment as recommended by
					 the system; or
(ii) alternative
					 source water treatment that would minimize lead and copper levels at user's
					 taps. Completion of proper installation and operation of the State specified
					 source water treatment shall occur within 24 months of State determination and
					 notification of the specified treatment to the water system.
(3) The water system shall
					 complete standard monitoring for tap water in accordance with section
					 5-1.42(b) 
					 of this Subpart and source water in accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this
					 section following installation of source water treatment.
(4) Based on a review of the source water
					 samples taken by the water system both before and after the system installs
					 source water treatment, the State shall:
(i)
					 determine whether the system has properly installed and operated the source
					 water treatment designated by the State; and
(ii) specify maximum permissible source water
					 concentrations for water entering the distribution system. Such levels shall
					 reflect the contaminant removal capability of the treatment when properly
					 operated and maintained.

						of this Subpart to the persons served by the water system at the specific
						sampling site from which the sample was taken (
i.e.
, the
						occupants of the residence where the tap was tested). Water systems that exceed
						the lead action level shall sample the tap water of any customer who requests
						it in accordance with subdivision (i) of this section.
(1) Notice shall be provided as soon as
					 practical, but no later than 30 days after the system learns of the tap
					 monitoring results.
(2) Notice
					 shall be provided either by mail or by another method approved by the
					 State.
(3) Notice shall include the
					 lead levels for the tap that was tested, an explanation of the health effects
					 of lead, a list of steps consumers can take to reduce exposure to lead in
					 drinking water, and contact information for the water utility. The notice shall
					 also provide the maximum contaminant level goal and the action level for lead
					 and the definitions for these two terms from section
					 5-1.72(f) 
					 of this Subpart.
