Details: | SUMMARY: monitoring violation DETAILS: Sent letter to system regarding the accrued violation for failure to collect and report and annual source water assessment water test for microbiological contaminated at each source well. We phoned the operator to explain the letter. Also discussed lead and copper exceeding the MCL. Following a consultation with the state we informed the operator that only the 90th percentile is counted. Also discussed nitrate sampling May 1012 the operator collected nitrate samples at each source rather than the entry point. These samples were not counted toward their required entry point requirements. Since system does not treat the water, except for chlorine residual, we recommend the state accept those samples from last year and rescind the violation. ACTION NEEDED: Operator was directed to submit evidence that samples were taken during 2012. They still need to collect 2013 samples for nitrate. Operator was directed to disregard the single MCL for copper from their last sampling series. Operator was directed to take next nitrate during May of 2013. They were also directed to collect future nitrate samples from the entry point to the distribution system two tests that are representative of each source. |
