			 installed to the Authority the results of any test, measurement or analysis
			 required by OAR 333-061-0036(5)(b)  of these rules within 10 days after the end
			 of the month.
(A) All systems using surface
			 water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water shall consult
			 with the Authority within 24 hours, after learning:
(i) That the turbidity exceeded 5
			 NTU;
(ii) Of a waterborne disease
			 outbreak potentially attributable to that water system;
(iii) That the disinfectant residual
			 concentration in the water entering the distribution system fell below 0.2 mg/l
			 and whether or not the residual was restored to at least 0.2 mg/l within four
			 hours.
(B) In addition to
			 the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in paragraph (1)(d)(A) of this
			 rule, a public water system which provides conventional filtration treatment or
			 direct filtration serving at least 10,000 people must report monthly to the
			 Authority the information specified in subparagraphs (1)(d)(B)(i) and (ii) of
			 this rule. Public water systems which provide filtration treatment other than
			 conventional filtration treatment, direct filtration, slow sand filtration, and
			 diatomaceous earth filtration, regardless of population served, must also meet
			 the requirements of paragraph (1)(d)(A) of this rule and must report monthly to
			 the Authority the information specified in subparagraph (1)(d)(B)(i) of this
			 rule. For the purposes of this rule, filter profile means a graphical
			 representation of individual filter performance, based on continuous turbidity
			 measurements or total particle counts versus time for an entire filter run,
			 from start-up to backwash inclusively, that includes an assessment of filter
			 performance while another filter is being backwashed.
(i) Turbidity measurements as required by OAR
			 333-061-0036(5)  must be reported within 10 days after the end of each month the
			 system serves water to the public. Information that must be reported includes:
(I) The total number of filtered water
			 turbidity measurements taken during the month;
(II) The number and percentage of filtered
			 water turbidity measurements taken during the month which are less than or
			 equal to the turbidity limits specified by OAR 333-061-0030(3)(b)(A) through
			 (D);
(III) The date and value of
			 any turbidity measurements taken during the month which exceed 1 NTU for
			 systems using conventional filtration treatment or direct filtration, or which
			 exceed the maximum level set by the Authority specified in OAR
			 333-061-0030(3)(b)(D).
(IV) The
			 date and value of any turbidity measurements taken during the month which
			 exceed 5 NTU for systems using slow sand filtration or diatomaceous earth
			 filtration.
(ii) Water
			 systems must maintain the results of individual filter monitoring for at least
			 three years. Water systems must report that they have conducted individual
			 filter turbidity monitoring within 10 days after the end of each month the
			 system serves water to the public. Water systems must also report individual
			 filter turbidity measurement results within 10 days after the end of each month
			 the system serves water to the public only if measurements demonstrate one or
			 more of the conditions in sub-subparagraphs (1)(d)(B)(ii)(I) through (IV) of
			 this rule. Water systems that use lime softening may apply to the Authority for
			 alternative exceedance levels for the levels specified in sub-subparagraphs
			 (1)(d)(B)(ii)(I) through (IV) of this rule if the water system can demonstrate
			 that higher turbidity levels in individual filters are due to lime carryover
			 only and not due to degraded filter performance.
(I) For any individual filter that has a
			 measured turbidity level of greater than 1.0 NTU in two consecutive
			 measurements taken 15 minutes apart, the water system must report the filter
			 number, the turbidity measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance
			 occurred. In addition, the water system must either produce a filter profile
			 for the filter within seven days of the exceedance (if the water system is not
			 able to identify an obvious reason for the abnormal filter performance) and
			 report that the profile has been produced or report the obvious reason for the
			 exceedance.
(II) For any individual
			 filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than 0.5 NTU in two
			 consecutive measurements taken 15 minutes apart at the end of the first four
			 hours of continuous filter operation after the filter has been backwashed or
			 otherwise taken offline, the system must report the filter number, the
			 turbidity, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the
			 system must either produce a filter profile for the filter within seven days of
			 the exceedance (if the system is not able to identify an obvious reason for the
			 abnormal filter performance) and report that the profile has been produced or
			 report the obvious reason for the exceedance.
(III) For any individual filter that has a
			 measured turbidity level of greater than 1.0 NTU in two consecutive
			 measurements taken 15 minutes apart at any time in each of three consecutive
			 months, the water system must report the filter number, the turbidity
			 measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In addition, the
			 water system must conduct a self-assessment of the filter within 14 days of the
			 exceedance and report that the self-assessment was conducted. The self
			 assessment must consist of at least the following components: assessment of
			 filter performance; development of a filter profile; identification and
			 prioritization of factors limiting filter performance; assessment of the
			 applicability of corrections; and preparation of a filter self-assessment
			 report.
(IV) For any individual
			 filter that has a measured turbidity level of greater than 2.0 NTU in two
			 consecutive measurements taken 15 minutes apart at any time in each of two
			 consecutive months, the water system must report the filter number, the
			 turbidity measurement, and the date(s) on which the exceedance occurred. In
			 addition, the water system must arrange to have a CPE by the Authority or a
			 third party approved by the Authority conducted no later than 30 days following
			 the exceedance and have the evaluation completed and submitted to the Authority
			 no later than 90 days following the exceedance.
(iii) If at any time the turbidity exceeds 1
			 NTU in representative samples of filtered water in a system using conventional
			 filtration treatment or direct filtration, the system must inform the Authority
			 as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the next business
			 day.
(iv) If at any time the
			 turbidity in representative samples of filtered water exceed the maximum level
			 set by the Authority as specified in OAR 333-061-0030(3)(b)(D)  for filtration
			 technologies other than conventional filtration treatment, direct filtration,
			 slow sand filtration, or diatomaceous earth filtration, the water system must
			 inform the Authority as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the next
			 business day.
(C) In
			 addition to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in paragraph (1)(d)(A)
			 of this rule, a public water system which provides conventional filtration
			 treatment or direct filtration treatment serving less than 10,000 people must
			 report monthly to the Authority the information specified in subparagraphs
			 (1)(d)(B)(i) of this rule and the information specified in paragraph (1)(d)(D)
			 of this rule. Public water systems which provide filtration treatment other
			 than conventional filtration treatment, direct filtration, slow sand
			 filtration, and diatomaceous earth filtration regardless of population served
			 must also meet the requirements of paragraph (1)(d)(A) of this rule and must
			 report monthly to the Authority the information specified in subparagraph
			 (1)(d)(B)(i) of this rule.
(D)
			 Water systems must maintain the results of individual filter monitoring for at
			 least three years. Water systems must report that they have conducted
			 individual filter turbidity monitoring within 10 days after the end of each
			 month the system serves water to the public. Water systems must also report
			 individual filter turbidity measurement results within 10 days after the end of
			 each month the system serves water to the public only if measurements
			 demonstrate one or more of the conditions in subparagraphs (1)(d)(D)(i) through
			 (iii) of this rule. Water systems that use lime softening may apply to the
			 Authority for alternative exceedance levels for the levels specified in
			 subparagraphs (1)(d)(D)(i) through (iii) of this rule if the water system can
			 demonstrate that higher turbidity levels in individual filters are due to lime
			 carryover only and not due to degraded filter performance.
(i) If the turbidity of an individual filter
			 (or the turbidity of the combined filter effluent (CFE) for systems with two or
			 less filters that monitor CFE in lieu of individual filter monitoring) is
			 greater than 1.0 NTU in two consecutive measurements taken 15 minutes apart,
			 the water system must report to the Authority by the 10th day of the following
			 month the filter number(s), the turbidity value(s) that exceeded 1.0 NTU, the
			 corresponding date(s) of occurrence, and the cause (if known) for the elevated
			 turbidity values. The Authority may request the water system produce a
			 turbidity profile for the filter(s) in question.
(ii) If the turbidity of an individual filter
			 (or the turbidity of the combined filter effluent (CFE) for systems with two or
			 less filters that monitor CFE in lieu of individual filter monitoring) is
			 greater than 1.0 NTU in two consecutive measurements taken 15 minutes apart for
			 three consecutive months, the water system must conduct a filter
			 self-assessment within 14 days of the date the turbidity exceeded 1.0 NTU
			 during the third month, unless a CPE is performed in lieu of a filter
			 self-assessment. Systems with two filters monitoring the CFE must conduct a
			 filter self-assessment for both filters. The self-assessment must consist of
			 the following components: assessment of filter performance; development of a
			 filter profile as defined in paragraph (1)(d)(B) of this rule; identification
			 and prioritization of factors limiting filter performance; assessment of the
			 applicability of corrections; and preparation of a filter self-assessment
			 report. When a self-assessment is required, the water system must report the
			 date the self-assessment was triggered, the date the self-assessment was
			 completed, and the conclusion(s) of the self-assessment by the 10th of the
			 following month or 14 days after the self-assessment was triggered only if the
			 self-assessment was triggered during the last four days of the month.
(iii) If the turbidity of an individual
			 filter (or the turbidity of the combined filter effluent (CFE) for systems with
			 two or less filters that monitor CFE in lieu of individual filter monitoring)
			 is greater than 2.0 NTU in two consecutive measurements taken 15 minutes apart
			 for two consecutive months, the water system must report these turbidity
			 results to the Authority by the 10th of the following month and arrange to have
			 a CPE by the Authority or a third party approved by the Authority conducted
			 within 60 days of the date the turbidity exceeded 2.0 NTU during the second
			 month. The CPE report must be submitted to the Authority no later than 120 days
			 following the date the turbidity exceeded 2.0 NTU during the second month. A
			 CPE is not needed if the Authority or approved third party has conducted a CPE
			 within the last 12 months or the Authority and the water system are jointly
			 participating in an on-going Comprehensive Technical Assistance (CTA) project
			 as part of the Composite Correction Program with the water system. When a CPE
			 is required, the water system must report that a CPE is required and the date
			 that the CPE was triggered by the 10th day of the following month.
(e) The water supplier
			 for water systems using a surface water source or a groundwater source under
			 direct influence of a surface source which does not provide filtration
			 treatment shall report according to subsection (1)(d) of this rule in addition
			 to the requirements of this subsection. Monthly reporting must begin no later
			 than six months after the Authority determines a source to be GWUDI.

(o) Reporting source
			 water monitoring results for
Cryptosporidium
and
E.
			 coli
collected in accordance with OAR 333-061-0036(5)(e). Water
			 systems must report results from the source water monitoring no later than 10
			 days after the end of the first month following the month when the sample is
			 collected as prescribed by this subsection.
(A) Water systems must report the following
			 data elements for each
Cryptosporidium
analysis: PWS ID,
			 facility ID, sample collection date, sample type (field or matrix spike),
			 sample volume filtered in Liters (to nearest 250 mL), whether 100 percent of
			 the filtered volume was examined, and the number of oocysts counted.
(i) For matrix spike samples, water systems
			 must also report the sample volume spiked and estimated number of oocysts
			 spiked. These data are not required for field samples.
(ii) For samples in which less than 10 L is
			 filtered or less than 100 percent of the sample volume is examined, systems
			 must also report the number of filters used and the packed pellet
			 volume.
(iii) For samples in which
			 less than 100 percent of sample volume is examined, systems must also report
			 the volume of re-suspended concentrate and volume of this re-suspension
			 processed through immunomagnetic separation.
(B) Water systems must report the following
			 data elements for each
E. coli
analysis: PWS ID, facility ID,
			 sample collection date, analytical method number, method type, source type
			 (flowing stream, lake/reservoir, or GWUDI),
E. coli
/100 mL,
			 and turbidity (if required). For the purposes of
Cryptosporidium
monitoring and reporting, lake/reservoir means
			 a natural or man-made basin or hollow on the Earth's surface in which water
			 collects or is stored that may or may not have a current or single direction of
			 flow.
(p) Reporting
			 requirements relating to
Cryptosporidium
protection.
(A) Water systems must report sampling
			 schedules prescribed by OAR 333-061-0036(5)(f)  and source water monitoring
			 results in accordance with subsection (1)(p) of this rule unless they notify
			 the Authority that they will not conduct source water monitoring due to meeting
			 the criteria of OAR 333-061-0036(5)(e)(D).
(B) Filtered water systems must report their
Cryptosporidium
bin classification as described in OAR
			 333-061-0032(4)(f).
(C) Unfiltered
			 water systems must report their mean source water
Cryptosporidium
level as described in OAR
			 333-061-0032(2)(c).
(D) Water
			 systems must report disinfection profiles and benchmarks to the Authority as
			 prescribed by OAR 333-061-0036(4)(l)  and 333-061-0060(1)(e)  prior to making a
			 significant change in disinfection practice.
(E) Water systems must report to the
			 Authority any microbial toolbox options as specified in Table 38 used to comply
			 with treatment requirements under OAR 333-061-0032(2)(c), (3)(e) through (g),
			 and (4)(g). Alternatively, the Authority may approve a water system to operate
			 within required parameters for treatment credit rather than reporting monthly
			 operational data for toolbox options.
(q) Water systems must report the use of
			 uncovered finished water storage facilities to the Authority as described in
			 OAR 333-061-0032(11).
(r) Water
			 suppliers must report analyses of special samples for coliform bacteria to the
			 Authority upon request.
(s)
			 Reporting violations.
(A) Failure to report
			 coliform sampling results as required by OAR 333-061-0036(6)  after monitoring
			 was properly conducted in a timely manner is a violation of this
			 rule.
(B) Failure to submit a
			 completed coliform investigation report form after conducting an investigation
			 or failure to ensure a coliform investigation report is submitted following a
			 level 2 coliform investigation is a violation of this rule.
(C) Failure to notify the Authority following
			 an
E. coli
-positive sample as required by paragraph (1)(c)(C)
			 of this rule is a violation of this rule.
(D) Failure to certify and report completion
			 of an Authority-approved start-up procedure at a seasonal water system as
			 required by subsection (1)(n) of this rule is a violation of this
			 rule.
